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:

I totally understand what you’re saying and would agree with you if this wasn’t Scotland. The MSM here don’t need any excuse to put the boot into us, as has often been proved in the past. Trying to supress debate as it may put us in a bad light with the MSM is not IMO very productive in tackling the very real issue of anti Irish racism in Scotland.
I don’t support the aims of the dissident cause and would rather they weren’t aired on this forum but unfortunately they are linked to an on going fight between a section of our support and the authorities and Government of this country, for that reason I say let S2S have his moment. If he is a plant it will show in time, those that seek to mock or silence him only bring people such as I to his defence as it’s part of who I am.
A veteran of the peoples march for jobs, a casualty on a picket line in Warrington, a working class guy who has witnessed his fair share of discrimination. Someone who usually, apart from Celtic, chose the wrong(make that right but losing) side to fight on, as my generation never won many memorable victories. Apart from the Poll Tax and warrant sales. :)

If your post does not refer to my earlier posts I apologise for my conceit.
However if it does, then I agree, my frankly, crass abuse of S2S’ use of language, was unacceptable.
What I do not retract is the condemnation of the content of his posts.

Yes I am aware of the C&C Group.
However, it is still a separate product on the shirt (regardless of who the parent group is) .. Something we were told couldn’t happen in the past as the other half would simply boycott that particular product..

Unite made a complete erchie of the Grangemouth dispute from start to finish
Of course the employers are rapacious capitalist bassas….all the more reason to box clever
All over an official who withdrew his resistance to his dismissal procedure …when his mendacity was exposed
The ordinary members deserve better than these idiots

When I made that post I hadn’t even seen read a newpaper. I had to go online to see what you were refering to.
So Eddie – was S2S drumming up support for an alleged murder squad? You’ve still not answered.

The best laugh is they’ll do a welsh steel mill on grangemouth.
Taxpayers money to buy the latest technology then shut the lot down and move the taxpayers assets abroad to their new underpaid plant.
And we’ll have all our capitalist friends telling us its our fault we chased them out the country with out demands for a living wage

Eddie,
Love your style. Maybe meet sometime to talk.

Hope to meet you

PF- I dont think Unite had any hope of winning what was a set up engineered to squeeze more cash out of you and I- they quickly realised that and u turned in order to keep their members in work until the company decides they will not get any more subsidy and finally pulls the plug on Grangemouth. The laws on striking have weakened the unions to the extent that they can now only make a show of protest

I’m finding it hard to understand why the BBC have the “denied by UEFA” headline on this story about next year’s Champs League qualifying rounds.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24758149
Now I know I was blessed with a St. Mungo’s education, and I know I grew up in a time where Comprehension was an essential component of English, but to me that UEFA rule (12.07) says that if you want to play anywhere other than your home ground then UEFA will only allow it under safety or disciplinary grounds.
So it classes other grounds in Scotland in exactly the same way as grounds in England or Ireland. Tell me I’m wrong?

“alleged” , that’s why, for me, it’s ok. Many accused have been convicted in the press prior to trial in the UK over the years, why have a problem with someone putting what they believe out there for debate?

If they are ‘joined at the hip’ then why bother with public statements saying we have a ‘stand alone strategy’ etc?
Why say anything at all?

I’m using a mobile phone and my eyes are not what they used to be so my apologies for any spelling mistakes and or grammar mistakes,also the predictive txt can be a swine! No one cared to inform me that I was breaking any rules,probably more so to do with the fact that you were all too busy throwing insults at me to be offerring any advice(in your case,expletive insults,before we had even conversed),you have a whole lot of bluster and you’ve went to a bit of trouble to inform all just how unworthy I am and I just wonder y you would do that …propensity to hostility I think u attributed to myself,all I am guilty of, is replying in kind, and that includes with yourself ! You also accused me of being ill-informed,of not knowing what I was talking about,now considering that I made no attempt to speak of details of the alleged crimes,I really would like to kn9w what your referring to,other posters mentioned bits n pieces but not I,so again I ask u…what is it I said that I know nothing about because you clearly know me so well. Now here’s what im saying unequivocally re all ur false allegations….you are,unequivocally ,a liar ,sir ! You have written things that u attribute to myself and if u had read my posts,u would know they were untrue,so I must go in the knowledge that u have and dnt care ! As for ur pretence at superiority and my limited understanding of the English language…welll….u do mqke me laugh !!

Unite harmed their own position ….
I agree that the laws are very strict
But …Union leaders need to perform better than they did at Grangemouth

It was the Directors at Ineos who conflated the two issues, Stephen Deans role as a convenor and the company’s determination to change the terms and conditions at the Petrochemicals, which they had agreed to, not once, but twice. It was not Stephen Deans who wrote letters to the homes of Trade Unionists, (a letter drafted on a yacht on the Med), one, offering a bribe of £15,000 if you accept, or a guarantee of losing their jobs, (at the end of a 56 day period), if they didn’t. Now, I do not know about you, but if I had been directly involved, and received that self-same letter I would have been more than capable of knocking on doors.

Fully agree with you…..Celtic said…”we don’t need rankers”….. and I believe our Board, not only because we have actually proved it…..!!!! great 2 seasons….!!!!
Goodnight Timland.
God bless all in the fight for truth and justice.

PF I would agree about unions needing to play the game better- however the press are not interested in showing them in a good light- the dice remain loaded in favour of the government and whatever billionaire company owners pulling their strings
