Stand up for the Champions

I know when you begin to dominate a championship that when another team eventually lift the trophy it can seem like an intolerable failure; compare our distress in 2009 to our resolve to do better after the final home game in 1996.  Time adds perspective to our triumphs.  As does not being there and seeing photos of the presentation hours after the event.

These are special times, enjoy them.

Many thanks to the Columba Club in Blantyre for Friday night’s Question and Answer event, and to the irrepressible Phil Agnew, who organised the event.  I was delighted to share a stage with Paul McConville and Phil Mac Giolla Bhain.  Great to see so many CQN’ers there too, my only regret is that I didn’t get a chance to catch up with everyone. With supporters like those in Blantyre on Friday night, we’re in good hands.

Remember to buy Heart of a Lion, Willie Wallace’s magnificent autobiography, available below.

    Craig Whyte & partners were looking to takeover Pearl & Dean, owned by STV. I guess discussions then turned to the parent company. A pension pot with a deficit would have been of no interest to CW whatsoever.

     

     

    Craig asked Jack to do a background check on him in August of 2009 – Many press cuttings followed, all with reference to McLeod, Sykes, Pensions and previous business failures.

    I do not infer any dodgy goings on however I’mt curious as to how persons ‘in the know’ interact with each other.

    Yes, I can see where this could be going. Interesting

    Is this new poster on TSFM Charlotte Fakeover not just trying to further discredit the already totally discredited Whytey ? What’s the point ? Smacks of a Media House exercise.

    No, not at all.

     

    This has potential

    Would the dates on the e-mails suggest that if Jack knew all the stuff about Whyte then Minty wasn’t really duped at all.

    Wooaahhh Sammy Sammy, he floats like a gazelle.

     

     

    Like the lovely Cheryl, he uses L’oreal.

     

     

    He’s definitely worth it, with hair so long and fine.

     

     

    He’s Georgios Samaras, Celtic’s number 9.

    “I had the privilege of playing against Van Basten and Maradona,but in terms of my most talented team-mates,there was a Brazilian called Carlos Verri,better known as Brazilian legend Dunga and Paul McStay at Celtic.”

    I note that the Sun also has Lenny off to Leicester.

     

    I wonder why the MSM are so keen for our manager to leave Scotland.

     

    You would think they would be keen to retain such a sought after talent here in Escosse.

     

    Cannae get my head round it.

    Neil is a superb manager,IMO-but I doubt he will be able to manage Everton,Leicester AND Stoke.

     

     

    Maybe Sally will offer his services to help out…..

    I wonder which poor early-riser will get the dreaded 666 post?

    Hooper to QPR and Lenny to Leicester is this week’s made up story.

     

    The pace will gather speed as the cup final approaches.

     

    We should have a CQN game of made up transfer speculation bingo.

     

    I go for a straight line of:

     

    Ledley to Cardiff

     

    Wanyama to Manchester United

     

    &

     

    FF to Fulham

     

    (The last one reflects my dedication to alliteration.)

    Sun headline: “Rangers directors aim to plug the leak by forcing out Murray”

     

     

    Can this be from another LEAKED document.

     

     

    Find the mole, I Want To Know Who These People Are!

     

    Will there be anyone left on the board?

    Looking forward to meeting a few bampots in Vegas. Maybe I’ll be lucky and meet some long lost pals. The name is Mungolian and I’m really new to posting and normally really quiet till the drink goes in. thats part of the plan in Vegas.

  30. mungolian bhoy on

    Oops! error already. name – Mungolian Bhoy – can’t even write my own name.

    dunno. How much money you got?

     

     

    Note you haven’t answered the question yet but you may not be aware that it’s a bit of a tradition on CQN to ask any new or even infrequent poster if they come from the darkside.
