That’s not an outbreak of Tourettes you hear

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.

    GORDON64,

     

     

    Searched for it and could only find the early Corrie Folk Trio – as they were then – singing Roddy McCorley.

    Prefer Shane McGowan and the Popes masel.

     

     

    Anyway, what have you lot got to be so happy about?

     

     

    I smashed my specs – which were on top of my head – as I bare-knuckle bashed it when the huns got their second goal today.

    Good Morning Timland.

     

     

    Back in the day when I went everywhere with Celtic Easter Rd was one of my

     

    fav away day’s,some amazing memories good and bad.

     

     

    Winning the tile in 77,our goalie(can’t remember who) getting a kick in the balls,

     

    got ugly on the terraces late 70s,a 4-3 SC defeat early 80s, the smoke bomb incident

     

    in our centenary season……..happy day’s eh!!

     

     

    A safe and speedy journey to all who are going,wrap up well.

    Going to Easter rd always reminds me of Vic Davidson, standing in the Celtic end and hearing the announcement that he was playing when we didn’t even know he had signed. Brill

    Nye Bevans 9.16am

     

     

    Always liked Easter road but the game that sticks in my mind was midweek after Raith Rovers final

     

     

    The A4 cars display (none of the fancy green brigade stuff)

     

     

    You will never walk alone Paul McStay

     

     

    I might have changed the letters but the sentiment was the same :-)

  26. jmccormick on

    Morning all, currently-6 in darkest Lanarkshire.

     

    Seems like a good day for gym , then parents, cook a warming tagliatelle bolognese and enjoy the mighty Hoops. Take care everyone.

  29. Gerryfaethebrig on

    Nye 9.31am

     

     

    6 days is no “wee” flounce :-)

     

     

    Cqn is an addiction and 6 days cold turkey is hard going

    Easter Road

     

    Happy hunting ground.

     

    Saw John Clark get winning goal there in the sixties. Thousands locked out, big door burst open and we charged before polis could react. Plenty room inside

    The big fella has been moved out of high dependency to an ordinary ward after

     

    exceeding all the Docs expectations on his way home to Hamilton, perhaps early this week,

     

    maybe even tomorrow.

     

     

    He’s in good spirits and looking forward to seeing the ole Celtic and CQN’rs very soon.

    That John Clark goal at Easter Road was a Scottish Cup midweek replay. What a night. I was there too with my Dad and was caught up in the breaking down of the wooden gates such was the size and pressure of the Celtic support.

     

    Happy memories. John Clark didn’t score many goals but that was a standout.

     

    Agree with other contributors that Easter Road was ( is ) one of my favourite grounds even back in the day when it was important to win the toss because there was a 6′ uphill/downhill

     

    Slope to the pitch.

     

    Looking forward to a good game and result today after a disappointing trip to Glasgow on Tuesday.
