It was curious that Peter Lawwell was quizzed on potentially having a conflict of interest in deciding if a recent multiple-convict would be regarded by the SFA as Fit and Proper to direct a football club. The club in question are not even in our league; conflict exists only in the heads of those who persist in believing in a ‘Firm which expired on the liquidation of one party.
I’ve avoided the appropriateness of a recent convict directing a football club as the deciding matters appear overwhelmingly obvious. There are no written rules on being Fit and Proper, largely due to the Mahatma Gandhi question posed by Neil Doncaster last year. Gandhi was a convict, but one of impeccable character. The contemporaneous character references are all important. The SFA will also be chastened by recent experiences.
My guess is that in the unlikely event the Nomads acquiesce, Peter Lawwell’s views will be immaterial. “Nobody likes us, we don’t care” has nothing to do with it, just find someone Fit and Proper!
Delighted that Aberdeen’s quest for silverware survived Fir Park last night. This club have underachieved for around 20 years now but Derek McInnes stands a reasonable chance of delivering second place in the league, as well as the League Cup.
Not so delighted at Hibs capitulation. Despite playing like Brazil in the 1970 World Cup for the first 15 minutes of their home tie against Hearts last night they were soon out-muscled, with more than a few players looking miles out of their depth. There is no compensation for Scottish football in Hearts progressing to the semi-finals. They are mid-crisis and will remain so, irrespective of how they perform in cup competitions, but the absence of Hibernian from the genuine challengers is a regret.
Morton went down to a late St Johnstone goal. They have now lost five and drawn one of their six games since winning at Celtic Park, their only victory since August…..
With this in mind, I’ll refrain from referring to the potential advantage of having a Cup Final at ‘home’ until we have earned the right to be there.
Dreadful news of Fernando Ricksen. I hope he finds strength from those close to him in the years ahead.
The new CQN Annual is looking great, really delighted with it. Thank you to everyone who has participated in the project. You can pre-order below:

When it comes to looking at football performance to turnover. Celtics record is worse than woeful. Thr standard of football within Scottish football tends to take the blame. An excuse the huns used but not Jock or Sean or José. We still dont get bang for buck.
PL profile strikes me as being enhanced by those who are impressed by spin and made up on the hoof policy. Beyond gullible.
It took him a long time to appoint Neil and I still believe he does not rate him as a manager. Just spin to keep the dyed in the wool gullibles on side.
When the board vote against the resolution it will be confirmation that they are still part of the Old Firm furniture and very much remain there.
The support will split into two camps. The gullibles including those that want the Old Firm to continue and those that will not be prepared to wait for the supposed invite to a bigger league (i.e The super gullibles)
How long are we prepared to wait with this hands off narrative without an invite to a bigger league?
We have heard this garbage for 35 years and its still unqaulified garbage. Mind you if you prefer your sport wrapped up in a carefully choreographed package rather than a true and fair sport then you will only have to wait 18 months.
I am glad that our Old Firm status will officially be confirmed at the AGM. Anyone trying to ascertain that this is not the case will only be doing so through emotional necessity due to a lifetime of conditioning.
Same old Celtic doing as they are told. As long,as we are making profits and winning the SPL. No CL ambitions and joined at the hip with Rangers.
Its looking like I will start contributing again once we get the invite to another league unless we are only waiting for the return of Rangers to the top league before getting the invite. That is what the ECA want and they get what they want.
I have yet to be proven wrong about my Old Firm assertions on CQN. 9 years and counting
HH
……………………………………
There have been a few events recently that are contrary to your belief that they are ‘joined at the hip’:
1. Celtic’s public statement that they don’t need ‘Rangers’
2. Celtic’s public statement rejecting Alex Salmond’s disgraceful statement that Celtic need ‘Rangers’ and vice versa.
3. Celtic requesting that RFC (RIP) handover ticket £ before a ball is kicked due to their financial predicament.
4. Celtic voting ‘No to Newco’
5. A separate shirt sponsor from Newco.
Now I’m not saying you are totally wrong, as I have no insider info, but there is evidence to suggest that your ‘Old Firm’ assertions are not entirely watertight..
Eddie – maybe there has been a misunderstanding here. I thought that S2S was urging everyone to support 6 people who have been arrested for allegedly plotting to murder loyallist balloon Johnny Aldair. Is that not the case?
Eddieinkirkmichael,
Harold Shipman would be after the facts, not conjecture.
Eddie I have no truck with censorship. I embrace open debate and all opinion.
What I was specifically objecting to was, in a time when the MSM, (who are not particularly Celtic Minded) are looking for opportunities to even up the negative news re our former rivals, then we do not need S2S type posts, as they are counter productive, IMO.

@StewartMRegan @edwardrice1 Given what we know now, do you think SFA made mistake in awarding a Euro license to RFC(IL)?
I wonder how long it’ll take for Regan to ban Morrissey and Eddie lol

I’m not often on the blog nowadays but have to say that shoulder2shoulder has as much right to state his case as anybody.
Paul67 et al tolerate a lot on this fair blog and the posters are a mixed bunch of Celts and msm’ers and all round stirrers.
I believe posters should never feel constrained by semantics or grasp of the english language. Anybody can be easily understood if the will is there. I know that only too well living in englandshire for 20 odd years.

The guys a murdering scumbag who should have been removed from this planet long ago. Pity they never got the chance HH
Sorry I’m no buying Cameron’s Unite propaganda- blaming the union when a billionaire demands 140 million from the taxpayer and a cut in pension rights for the workers to keep a business open- its like the blame they put on the training of nurses for the Staffordshire NHS scandal- when it was management meeting government cuts that led to the problem. I get the impression that the Tories share the deid clubs PR strategy- put the blame on everyone else

Correct over the past week we have …..our players are wanted by half the EPL; our players will not re-sign contracts; Lenny’s too good, he leaving; where can we play our qualifier for CL – not outwith Scotland. Meantime Jim McColl talks a load of pash on Sky and no one asks a question.

We do not have separate shirt sponsors.
Both names that appear on the respective team shirts are brands of the same company .
Many were fooled into thinking that it was a different sponsor.
