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.

*** LAST MAN STANDING 5 ***
A huge thanks to the 50+ bloggers who have now emailed to say that they’d like to take part. Still over a week to enter so get your entries in (and from friends and family too!). Those who have already contacted us should have been sent full instructions and the first set of fixtures by now – so if you think we’ve missed you out please send us a reminder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE COMPETITION
Welcome back to a new season and LMS 5, which kicks off Saturday 3rd October.
This is the first competition of the new season and we will continue to support Shay McGinlay (age 2) and his young family. Thanks to your incredible support last year we raised over £5,300 through LMS and other CQN funding raising activities. This has gone along way to support Shay’s first and second year of treatment. We have a further year to support the wee fella.
You can read about Shay here
https://www.facebook.com/Help-Shay-Along-The-Way-814451225255695/timeline/
The competition will cost £10 each to enter, and like in LMS4 you will be allowed to buy extra lives in rounds 1 to 3 for a similar amount. Payout will again be 50% to the Last (Wo)man Standing and 50% to Shay…..
…and all you have to do to is simply select a unique winning team each week from the list of fixtures provided. Dead easy :-) How can you fail not to win?
The winner of LMS4 netted a cool £425.
So to register, you must firstly send us an email to cqnlastmanstanding@gmail.com ( please tell us your name and CQN moniker if you have one) and secondly make sure payment is made by Saturday 3rd October. Payment details and rules will follow on registration.
Please also tell your friends and family about this competition, as the more that enter mean the more you ( and Shay ) can win.
Finally, thank you for your support and good luck in becoming the last (wo)man standing!
Hail Hail!
CRC and Jobo

It was raining hard in ‘Frisco
I needed one more fare to make my night
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down
She got in at the light
Gerry, I only wore a parka once and got a smack in the coupon . The gubbing didn’t improve my looks nor knock any sense into me.
A big regret of mine was not going to the Two Tone tour at Tiffany’s in 1979. Pals of mine who were at that gig, still say it was one the best thay have been at.

Hello honey, it’s me
What did you think when you heard me back on the radio?
What did the kids say when they knew
It was their long lost daddy-o?

1979… 10 men won the league, I was only 9 and you were going to concerts, at that age I was dogging the train to Carntyne to get a lift over into the game, by the way you have aged well I didn’t realise you were a lot older than me !
By the way the winner of the charity quiz today was our very own Art of War, he was bragging about it this afternoon, not seen him posting he must be too busy drinking his champagne
I hope we start with the same team and attitude as last Sunday’s game.
Good night all and sleep well.

Well I find myself in reverie
‘Bout what we might have had
And what might have been
We had something going once
That was such a long, long time ago
It was way back in ’76
