So how about this scenario, Celtic Youths are trailing in their league with 10 games to go when they register three new players, but someone’s ‘at it’. The players are all over-age but the date of birth on their registration forms have been incorrectly completed, so the players are registered and become eligible to play the remaining games. Celtic Youths win their remaining games and win the league.
At the end of the season the deception is uncovered. The people responsible for filling the forms out incorrectly are criticised but one is president of the Scottish Football Association, who give evidence to an inquiry that as the Association registered the players, the results must stand.
Time to “draw a line under it” is the line from the SFA chief executive, hoping with all his might that no one mentions the Scottish Youth Cup games the players also played in, which would invoke a parallel punishment to the one recently imposed on Spartans Youths for exactly the same offence in the same competition. The chief exec also dismisses attempts to call those criticised by the inquiry to account as scapegoating.
Ridiculous? Of course, but this is what we’ve just experienced, with another club, of course.
Challenging the verdict, if possible, is a worthwhile endeavour but it will only treat one symptom of the many issues facing Scottish Premier League clubs, who could be forgiven for losing the will to compete within the rules. Fans of several SPL clubs now believe their best interests are served by playing in an environment beyond Scotland – for a whole range of reasons.
We have to work with fans of other clubs to make the case for the SPL, as a unit, to leave Scottish football (I see cross-club initiatives are already underway).
On a completely unrelated question, if you had £21m in the bank late last year, and you were burning cash at £1m per month, which year would you run out of money?

Channel Four News reported that Rangers faced a winding up order from Orlit Enterprises over a dispute relating to £400,000 it claimed it was owed by the Glasgow club.
At the time, Rangers rejected the claim from Orlit and stated that the threat of an insolvency petition from the firm was “bizarre”.
On Monday, Mr Green said: “That (the winding up threat) was them making demands which were outwith what I had agreed with them for fees in raising equity.
“As far as I’m concerned I’m not going to give in to blackmail or terrorists.

The ironic thing is they do it to themselfs, in spite of the football authorities bending over backwards to help them >}}}
notthebus –
Maybe he’s been reading Jabba’s articles?
Challs telling yet more lies on Sky,tbh i don’t think Randall bought the Share Issue bollox.
Busy all day
I know a touch of Johnny come lately …
But…how on Gods green earth can losing £1m a month be great financial news
Sally’s £10m war chest will be done in before he’s allowed to sign anyone :-))
As the song goes( I paraphrase)
Audits in April no feckin chance
Audits in April you must not laugh
The more you listen to chuckles the its like the producers
“As far as I’m concerned I’m not going to give in to blackmail or terrorists.” Green.
That could have been said by the Raith Rovers Director a couple of months ago
So the terrorists Charlie is talking about, wouldn’t be the ones he met when he was over in Ireland !!!
PFayr
Have you caught up with the news they want to sign Jon Daly?
Miki67 – Read back to your post of this morning it brought a tear or two to my eyes!
An inspiration and a reality check!
God Bless my friend
chuck is losing it
can you imagine the MSM if Lenny had said that type of comment
TET
Probably not those ones but clearly he’s fingering other terrorists he brought on board as investors.
Good evening CHAMPIONS
I wonder if John Daly will be allowed to Bless himself if he signs for der hun? Chas is trying to turn things round after all. Hahahahaha
Weefra HH
Shamrock Rovers take on Linfield in Setanta Cup to-night should be worth a look.
Odds on Georgios the Greek to notch the first goal against Juve on Wednesday.
Providing of course he is not caught in an arm wrestle or a headlock by a Juve defender.

Just did …. Cracker
Cannae imagine that going down well in the ludges :-))
Thanks
Did I hear somewhere today that Greengo stated that the share issue raised £35m
EDB
Always believed that there is no smoke without fire.
Ye gods. Just watched the national (UK) news : the porcine muppetry are mashin’ themselves to bits.
We is dooooooomed.
The world is nutz.
They won’t even help beggin’or help. Help not kiil themselves!
What a stinkinly corrupt, evil and hapless system.
Nae wunder T’rankers got a awy with it.
Cut from the same fish lined (believe me…….I know!!! ; > ). ) cloth…….made in Perth by really serious gangsters.
That’s where they were made in the 80’s and mackerel got sewed intae the lining…….which may not be opeed after being freeze-wrapped for many years.
Ah…….life.
The pigs are the biggest, nastiest, well tooled-up mob in the country, and are mainly homophobic racist psycho bullies. The only demograph with a worse criminal record in the nation are the politicians. Fact.
“Society prepares the crime; the criminal commits it.” Ergo: the police, judiciary, prisons & politicians.
Once we “policed” ourselves. The word ‘anarchy’ is degraded in the modern world.
The word comes from the original Ancient Greek : ‘ana’ = ‘without..
……………………….from the original Ancient Greek ; ‘archos’ = leaders
>>>>>>>>>>
The modern English translation for ‘anarchy’ means ‘without leaders’.
The right wing driven “meeja” have corrupted it to mean extreme violence in order to make it look like true dissent is a dangerous thing and to be avoided or “the police” will get you, the judiciary will insist on draconian punishments and polticians will insist on imprisonment…..or death, if they can get away with it. And soon they will have their Secret Courts.
And THAT is how the system works.
Stupid plod.

According to spencey on BBBC, Daly is keen to go to Ipox.
I kid you not
green expected to be in a position to sell a number of first teamers from oldco but we all know what happened.
green thought sevco woul be playing top flight football, he’s paying spl + some (wages)for third divsion football and prices.
he has to pay the rates for ibrox and the policing etc…
he has had to pay footballing debt
he then had to keep sally (the manager) and whoever else wanted to stay and he had to spend money to get players the fans would respond to (supporters needed to see at least spl standard players in) all money
everything that could go wrong from a financial perspective has and the new league structure is going to ensure his club see little change (cant justify price hike for same level of football next season) hence the anger about the restructure of leagues.
dont think they’ll go down, but the plan to have substancial income when entering the slp is gone and they might just have to increase prices and cut costs which will only frustrate sevco fans who expect to win and compete.
the journey just got a little bit longer
….pfayr
20:06 on 4 March, 2013
….and tomorrow it will be £45m, to cover the £10m he has promised sally…..and they’ll all believe him ….comedy gold…..LOL
From time to time Celtic supporters have their ups and downs, disagreements etc on many issues concerning our club but we will always be united in never accepting anyone like Green being in charge of our club.
How stupid are these peepul?
Chuckles has lost his bluster and bravado I thought after his interview with Jeff Randall, granted he had just me his institutional investors who no doubt were very unhappy at the losses…..
On another note did Craigy bhoy not say they were losing £10m a year and it was financial suicide…..given that the season ticket money is in the losses are only going to get worse and at £1m per month Sevco are now losing more per annum than oldco….
Go figure…..

Negative goodwill …is a one off …accounting exercise…not revenue or real money as we know it
But for that and the share issue they’d be shut …
So much for the share issue bring for capital investment and squad enhancement ….they need it to keep the lights on
Btw ..the financials are the reason at they’re terrified of league reconstruction
Having to play all those guff div3 teams again will not be appealing to the hoards ….however I believe they might relish the prospect of another opportunity to try to beat Stirling Albion away :-))
