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.

    Thanks for the clarification about Ian Archer. My uncle was a publican in Kelvinside. IA and my uncle John were his pub’s best customers.

    Any idea who was involved in this? Who in there right mind thought the problem was the SFA refusing to join the SPFL in a review? Surely no football fan thought this was the issue?

     

     

    You say it is now down to the Res 12 review by the “SFA” compliance officer. Who do you think he will “comply” with? Has he been in touch with you to give evidence? What about the other res 12 guys? You folk are the experts in this. How is he going to come up with a decision without gathering your evidence?

     

     

    This is going to take a small claims court case to resolve. The SFA reduced the value of all celtic shareholders’ equity by deliberately licencing rangers in 2011. That is the key to this.

    DD-I ment to add that calling him a fud was out of order,a bit to strong a term for someone who wore the jersey.See that bawbabbity he’s got me thinking before a shout my mouth af:-))

    I could never call a Celtic player a fud.

     

    I am a failure. As a wean I wanted to be like my schoolmate Tosh McKinlay and play for Celtic. Tosh and Packy lived my dream.

    C is a wee star,a daughter you are rightly proud of. Chuffed to bits,in fact.

     

     

    I didn’t realise how difficult it was to get in to Medicine. Just assumed grades would do.

     

     

    Give a very tired wee C a hug from a daft pal of yours who is very proud of what she has done so far.

    Tosh at school when asked by the guidance officer in Saint Tams, what he wanted to do on leaving school, said, “I want to play for Celtic sir.” So chuffed he made it.

    BRs tactics in the CL have been found wanting. I suspect when we get into the EL he will play a blinder.

    Big Packy and I were going out with sisters at the same time (81’-82’?). He eventually married one but me and the sister parted ways. I remember her dad was a big Orange man from Kings Park. From what I gathered at the time, I don’t think he was too keen on his daughter dating a Celtic player at first but eventually saw beyond the daft side of his beliefs….hopefully. Maybe he sits on the fence in the media to keep the peace at home. Big gentleman the times I was in his company but some of the lipstickle stuff he comes away with these days is cringeworthy
