That’s not an outbreak of Tourettes you hear

715

No, that’s not an outbreak of Tourettes across small patches in the west of Scotland, it is the long-suffering Newco fans realisation that their board have been breathtakingly incompetent in their attempts to recruit a manager.

In many respects, briefing the media ahead of their two games against Aberdeen and an AGM that Derek McInnes would be installed at Ibrox this week, had the desired effect. The players were sufficiently motivated to out-perform Aberdeen, while Dave King got through the AGM on a nod and a wink. The falsehood of the assertion, however, will surely come at a cost. King will hope that memories fade before he has to face fans again in 51 weeks.

My immediate reaction when I read the ridiculous statement from Newco last night was that their hilarious PR system was at the keyboard while jaked. They spend six weeks targeting McInnes, then, after he rejected them, claimed this was evidence he was not up to the job.

An obscure phrase was used, “concomitant risk”, instead of the more common “associated risk”. There’s a fair bit of research into why people unnecessarily use complex and obscure words instead of simpler alternatives. None of it is flattering.

I assumed the statement was the work of Newco’s shamlessly-brilliant PR operation, but a studious CQN’er emailed this clip of Dave King’s AGM speech last year.

4 minutes 29 seconds in he states they should: “run an operating deficit, without a concomitant event risk that could lead to a repeat of the last few years”. Last night’s statement has Dave’s tones all over it.  Fewer and fewer people compliment the emperor on his new outfit.

A big thanks to teams two and three in the league, who have damaged their positions and/or humiliated themselves, while Celtic have extended their lead at the top of the table.

    I think it’s due to the number of links-happens automatically,no mods involved.

     

     

    Not sure,but I think the max at one time is five.

    As BMCUWP and leftclicktic posted it could be too many links. Nothing to do with Mods. If you want clarification e-mail P67 celticquicknews@gmail.com

     

    I seemed to recall seeing a post from you on this thread with a few links; this could be the post you refer?

  12. The hun commentator is a total hoot with a watp sense of entitlement.

     

    Every tackle on them merits yellow or a comparison to something huns got caution for in some game.

     

    Owen Coyle gets mad at his player for not passing quickly when County are attacking and microphone picks up his curse word and wee hun give an apology to the poor sensitive bears watching and listening.

     

    He seems oblivious to the FTP chants from the hordes in the stand.

  13. OneMalloy,

     

     

    May Graham rest in peace…..thoughts with the loved ones he left behind…..

  14. Just checked the current scores.

     

     

    Murky is an apt word for the Sevco….and all its nefarious tentacles.

     

     

    Celtic Keep on Keeping on.

     

     

    Celtic First!

     

     

    Hibernians Second!!

     

     

    Aiberdeen Third!!!

    Good morning CQN – I would be grateful for the thoughts and prayers of this community for my friend John McG, wife H and family. John, a retired Fireman, originally from Hamilton has been based in Mansfield for many years, yet has commuted to Glasgow regularly to take his seat in section 105 of the North Stand in support of our team. A few months ago he told me of his son Graham, 44yrs of age, married with 3 young sons, a serving Fireman being diagnosed with an insidious form of cancer, secondaary deposits already in major organs. Despite surgery and aggressive Chemotherpy and Radiotherapy Graham lost his fight on 23rd of November. Thank you for listening.
