That’s not an outbreak of Tourettes you hear

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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 caught this poem at the end off Netflix’s Godless.

     

     

    It is for those who have lost close ones:-

     

     

     

    “Tis a Fearful Thing

     

     

    ‘Tis a fearful thing

     

    to love what death can touch.

     

     

    A fearful thing

     

    to love, to hope, to dream, to be –

     

     

    to be,

     

    And oh, to lose.

     

     

    A thing for fools, this,

     

     

    And a holy thing,

     

     

    a holy thing

     

    to love.

     

     

    For your life has lived in me,

     

    your laugh once lifted me,

     

    your word was gift to me.

     

     

    To remember this brings painful joy.

     

     

    ‘Tis a human thing, love,

     

    a holy thing, to love

     

    what death has touched.”

    Bradley is a tremendous player. And Mavinga is a great covering defender … lightning quick. Altidore frustrates me sometimes .. but ,to be fair to him, he has scored some big goals in big games.

    Seen friends come and go,we all have. I hate funerals because it will be someone I loved or respected.

     

     

    It’s the price you pay for having friends,and for getting older. But you can sit down,shut up,blether about your pal wi the rest of the lads,greet.

     

     

    That’s what you do wi life. See them off,raise a glass,give them the respect they deserve.

     

     

    Or greet.

    The smsm were creaming themselfs the last time we played Hibs when they got a draw, they were going ott about John Mcginn, aye he was good, but had Broonie been playing I doubt he would have shone like he did, he wisny the best Hibs middy anyways, that accolade was taken by Dylan McGeoch, it was his hard work that made McGinn look good, Broonie will take center stage the morra, he will run the game.
