Stomach knots, dig deep Dave

Do you remember the knot in your stomach when we were five points behind in the league race, when every game was a ‘must win’ event? Five points is a substantial gap, eight is huge. I seriously doubt Derek McInnes reckons Aberdeen have a remote chance of winning the league, but should the gap increase to eight points tomorrow, he could be excused if he gets carried away for a moment.

Celtic will win the league but only because they will improve and win important games, like tomorrow’s against Hearts. The knot’s back in my stomach; we need the win. Although Hearts are not the league challengers this season, the scenario mirrors their visit to Celtic Park a decade ago, when they were the last non-Glasgow club to open the league season with a flurry of wins.

Resist, resist, we must resist

300 years and the tune never changes. Newco chairman, Dave King, proclaimed, “This application will be strongly resisted”, as he confirmed Charles Green has been to court to enforce the contract which, apparently, obliges Newco to pay his legal fees for actions in connection with the club, a liability which was recorded in Newco’s 2012 IPO prospectus.

King seemed to confirm Green had a good case by telling journalists Green’s legal difficulties concern his time “his time as an officer of the Club”, closing speculation on one possible angle of defence.

There’s nothing unusual in this clause in Green’s contract. Company directors can be held criminally liable for acts of corporate wrong-doing. They can be fined or jailed for actions carried out by their staff, even without a direct instruction. If you are a company director, it is your responsibility to ensure Health and Safety regulations are enforced and appropriate, and that actions by the company are not criminal.

In the event a criminal charge is levelled against a director (or former director) of a company for acts carried out by, or on behalf of, the company, directors will seek the assistance of the company in preparing and funding their defence.

This is how business is conducted and the responsibility of the non-executive directors to ensure that the actions of directors are consistent with the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders (in this instance fans).

If Green holds a contract, Kings will know his protests are empty bluster. I see estimates of legal fees in the region of £500k. There will be no change from £500k on this one, not even close. That figure might cover the photocopying costs. Dig deep, Dave.

    Looking forward to having a beer with you on the day out, my wee nemesis the 7yr old daughter was angling for an argument tonight, thankfully I didn’t oblige, I nearly feinted when she said “dad, you better behave or you won’t be going anywhere on the ten of the ten” she must have heard me and her mother talking about 10/10 or she probably nips onto Cqn when I am at work !

    La XV Brigada Internacional [a veces llamada Brigada Abraham Lincoln] fue una de las Brigadas Internacionales que combatieron en defensa de la legalidad republicana contra los sublevados el 17 y 18 de julio de 1936 en la Guerra Civil Española. Estaba compuesta especialmente por voluntarios procedentes de Estados Unidos, Canadá, Irlanda y Reino Unido principalmente, aunque también de otros países. Luchó en algunas de las principales batallas de la contienda, como la del Jarama, Brunete, Belchite, Fuentes de Ebro, Teruel, Aragón y El Ebro.

     

    La XV Brigada Internacional también incluyo voluntarios de Latinoamérica. Debido a las diferencias culturales y los problemas que surgieron entre norteamericanos y latinos, la mayoría de estos voluntarios se retiraron de la XV brigada y se incorporaron a otras unidades tales como la brigada de choque de El Campesino.

     

    Las canciones de la brigada fueron “El Valle del Jarama” y “Viva la Quince Brigada”.

    Wouldn’t have it any other way, hitting ma kip as ma cousins are burying their dad tomorrow, back at the start of the year they thought he was gone but he recovered and was the star attraction at my wedding in April, tomorrow for me won’t be about sadness there may be tears but plenty of prayers sometimes we have to cherish what we have and reading between the lines on here we all have family and friends, DS, a wee quiet prayer will be offered for the wee woman from your town who was found this week ! Take care and Hail Hail fellow Celtic fans

    Is it really such a mystery?

     

     

    People still Searching for a Clue?

     

     

    Nonsense.

    Yeshua – the King. Thank God, Yeshua, when he stepped into his Creation, that he took Every Sin I have ever done and absolved me of my Sins.

     

     

    So we have so many immigrants wanting to go to Christian countries, with the lunatic liberals denying so much.

     

     

    I’m angry all right.
