Our best wishes to Jos Hooiveld, 28, who has managed to resurrect his career at Southampton 23 months after completing an unsuccessful move to Celtic. Southampton, newly promoted to the English Championship this season, sit top of the division, with Jos a key part of their success.
The big defender clearly has more than he was able to demonstrate during his time here, despite Celtic clearly being in need of a strong central defender. Last night, after Georgios Samaras was send forward to lead the line, it occurred to my just how unsuitable he is as part of a front two. All that gutsy energy, running and yes – bravery – both in terms of diving into challenges and always being available for a team mate, no matter what feedback he is receiving from the stands, is hidden when he’s up front.
Give him space to gallop into on the wing or let him find his own Southampton.

Lads where would I find this info about if clubs owe tax authoritys then they can’t be granted a licence.
Whyte could face ‘fit and proper’ test as SFA seek answers on disqualification
http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/european/whyte_could_face_fit_and_proper_test_as_sfa_seek_answers_on_disqualification_1_1990246
‘Under the SFA’s Articles of Association, they reserve the right to rule on whether any individual listed on a club’s official return of office bearers is a “fit and proper person to hold such position within Association Football.”
Among the “relevant facts” listed by the SFA in their determination of such suitability, which they acknowledge as “illustrative and not exhaustive”, is that an individual “has been disqualified as a director pursuant to the Company Directors’ Disqualification Act 1986 within the previous five years”.’
So is ‘disqualified’ an adjective or a verb?
Discuss.
Come to think of it the point of interpretation has probably come up and been decided previosly in another context.
No doubt the SFA’s lawyers are already on the case.
You’re home early Ramie??? No doubt Dan Murphy’s finest is keeping you company.
Lads I think us as Celtic fans are onto something here I really do regarding Whyte and the SFA but most of all regarding Huns being issued this licence.

Post spot on m8.
Sorry lads I’m like a dog wae a bone i want this out in the open to show the SFA for what they are corrupt.
Unaudited accounts.
Is there anything funnier than a hun sailor finally beginning to realise that the iceberg wasn’t a tim conspiracy
but was, in fact, a real iceberg?
Bit late now.
Bring it on.
Cash up front on the 28th huns!
Morning all from a windy North Ayrshire. Rain is in the air, although there is a hint of blue sky.

At the risk of sounding facetious,perhaps Rangers could state that they did not know that they were doing.
This was brought up last night on a different subject,so apologies for treading on toes.
ANYWAY,THE EXPRESSION SHOULD THE HUNS WISH TO USE IN THEIR DEFENCE IS
SONATE IN RADICE
No need to thank me,Mr Whte.

Interesting point to note from reading scotslawthoughts from an earlier post on this thread.
Basically CW has until December 10th to formally announce the date of Rangers AGM for the last date available being 31st of December (do you seriously believe they will hold their AGM on Hogmanay???)
What is most interesting about this is that HMRC take control of £2.3 million of arrested monies from the Rangers bank account on the 9th of December!!!
What is the betting that the 10th of December is the day all our Christmases become one???

A report from UEFA about licensing states the reason why clubs have been refused licenses. This is what they said:
The 123 clubs ultimately refused licences were refused for a wide variety of reasons as the charts on this page illustrate. From the 221 reasons** given for failure, 42% were financial reasons and 58% other reasons. The three most common failed licensing criteria remain the same as the previous year with overdue employee and social tax payments the single most common criteria failed (31 clubs). The provision of annual financial statements to the satisfactory quality, detail and audit opinion (28) and an approved stadium (28) were the other two most common reasons but no single criteria were responsible for more than 15% of the total reasons for refusal.
This is available here at page 25.

Che -stoats have black tails.
Celtic minded stoats have the characteristic cry ‘Ferret’s a grand ole team to play for’.
Lads I am going to send phil a message to see if he knows when this small tax bill was agreed because this will prove if Huns and the SFA are guilty.
West Wales Celt
“I recall at various junctures, when there was speculation about the Celtic manager’s position, calls for Martin’s return were seen as fanciful. Martin was waiting for a big club. Martin won’t live with budget restraints.
Now Martin goes to a lower premier league club and has reportedly agreed necessary budgetary restraint.
I mean Martin, Sunderland?
Sigh… ”
There have been many posters on this blog telling the unreformed MON romantics that Martin ain’t coming back. He has “done” Celtic and that is in his past unless a) we move into a more lucrative league or b) He gets sacked by clubs a few times and is desperate.
The blog has also been informed many times that Sunderland were his boyhood “English team” so he may have had close to as much regard for them as he had for Celtic.
Either way, the journalist, Pat Murphy, who is close to MON, has been on all radio stations this morning announcing confidently that he is on his way to Sunderland, in similar circumstances as those under which WGS joined Celtic i.e. He recognises that there is no money to spend, other than that generated by player sales, and there is a strong desire to get shot of some overpaid underachievers.
So much for the MON romantic myth that MON would not be prepared to be, what they call, a “board puppet”.
MON or WGS could have been Neil Lennon’s mentor at some time in his early career. They would both have been acceptable to Neil Lennon. The latter would not have been acceptable to a large group of fans as he would have been seen as a backward step. The former would have cast too large a shadow and would not have come back as mentor as it would only add pressure on Neil Lennon.
It is my confident assertion that, even if Neil had been sacked, MON would not have come back and will not be coming back to the SPL with Celtic.
I wish MON well in a job he wants to have. He did well for us in his time here and he did well for himself. I hope the MON romantics will get over their lost love and start focusing on our current needs.
Accounts without an audit certification? Would they do that if, for example, the huns didn’t list the tax bills as liabilities? Or is there something else we don’t know about yet?
MWD
21 again?
Another interesting point for todays Record (I know I know but the work does have them lying about and this DID stand out)
Did you know that under SFA rules on fit and proper persons Nelson Mandela WOULD NOT be allowed to be a director of Rangers BUT Robert Mugabe WOULD!!!
what the Record failed to ask was: – Would either of them WANT TO???
Move along Timmy nothing to see!!!

50th?
Is Kayal the new Reggie Blinker?
We should do a reverse Mo Johnstone and buy Jellyfish for a fiver.
No mercy; we can forgive, but we can’t forget (we can’t forgive either, really).
For some reason, I can’t stop laughing today.
I love Craig Whyte!
There, I’ve said it.

Are they or not a going concern? Don’t think Grnat Thornton want to put their name to that answer!
DBBIA- great wee bit of naturewatch there, also how am I going to get through a Friday night without Autumnwatch on the ole Beeb 2?
No more Michela Strachan (or “Wee Strachan” as she is known to her co-presenters).
Looks like it’ll need to be OAO.

The more sophisticated ones also have a top hat and white tie.
They are a going, going, gone concern.
Craig Spiv – Diddler , The SFA and that Fit and Proper Person thing.
Either the Thousandaire misrepresented his past or The Park Gardens Mafia failed to do a proper vetting job, or, if they did ,they then chose to not act on the evidence.

However -given the cast of rogues /chancers and simpletons——— I suppose all things are possible.
Company Law / SFA Rules and Regulations / UEFA Rules and Regulations—- breach -breach -breach..
Warm and sunny —lovely day -way down south.

No festive season back home this year for me, looks like I could be over the end of January tho’ for a couple of weeks.
I am almost as skint as the orcs!!
Good Morning to he Celtic Family from a dry but very frosty Central Scotland.Well more problems for Rangers unsigned accounts tell a story Rangers are like a wounded animal that keeps being hit by bullets eventualy getting so weak it drops dead.At the moment many of the smaller creditors are taking legal action against them and now UEFA are making noises about them and the tax man and there court case is hovering the stock exchange are asking about Craig Whytes ban from holding a director ship as they have not be informed as they should have.The January transfer window could add to there problems as if they get any offers for any of there players as they are not in the position to decline them.Oh happy days.H.H.
impossible! surely you don’t owe her maj 50 million plus change!
It’s very interesting to note that Grant Thornton have not signed off the accounts. The auditors will be up for re-appointment at the AGM which must take place within six months of its accounting reference date, in this case 31 December 2011. 21 days notice is required before the AGM can take place. (Remember, remember 10 December). Failure to hold an AGM is a criminal offence under section 336 of the Companies Act 2006.
If Grant Thornton doesn’t wish to be re-appointed (or wish to resign before then), they have to submit a resignation statement which has to say either:
“There are no relating circumstances which the members and creditors should know”, or “There are relating circumstances and those circumstances are x, y and z.”
If Grant Thornton is aware of any issues and don’t declare these, it can be held liable to shareholders and creditors in the event of insolvency.
Things could get interesting.

For the attention of those who would criticise each and every Celtic player who gets misrepresented by the press. Wise words from our manager:
“I’m not going to berate Beram for doing an interview and then for people to put their own slant on it.”

I hope you reminded your workmates that believing 60 Minutes stories is practically a crime in itself. If they ever make it to Sydney we can show them some real crime.
Not passing the ball to you is quite obviously a hanging offence tho….:-)

Still cannot believe that there are tims who take anything the scots press print
seriously.
Heard on the radio driving into work that Martin O’Neill set a British club record when he led Celtic to 26 consecutive league wins.
That’ll take some beating.
