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.

Getting the tunes from the Awesome mix to run is Difficult.
All are on the playlist.

I refuse to manipulate it to make the Sonics TOUCHDOWN.
I had an amazing moment that just re-affirmed my Faith that the Lord Died to take all my Sins away. Not a hard task really to get somewhere. :))
See Roy Croppie @ 11.27. Says it all. Hh

I also never want us to lose, not even in a bounce game, but if losing will release the pressure and allow us to play the way we can……
A conundrum as you say.

The Corries version of Roddy McCorley is my fav version. Hh

Great post !

I know who he picked … I was blackmailing him (threatening to tell our mum), and my plan was working a treat .. at least it was until he told me that you told him that I had picked them!
:)
BRTH –
I agree. But the question is whether a win is ‘all’ good or is there just a wee bit of a downside?

Back in the 90s I was at nine funerals in the space of six months, the real sad thing was they were all kids, all weans of friends and family, age range from 16 to 22, each one died through taking an overdose of prescription drugs, I got kinda scunnered with funerals.
And all around ……..

The number of games we’ve had recently is the main reason for some sub standard performances ( 21 games in last 12wks ).
Some players being off form ,injuries,couple of drubbings in CL are factors too IMO.
After the winter break I think we will see a rejuvenated team and the rest ( performances and results ) will follow.

Gerryfaethebrig,
The wee guy says Jonny should Raphael Van Der Vaart… So I think Jonny will Start the game.
He was delivering delicious balls into the box against the Murderwell.
The older I get the more dead people I know.
