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:

She is a Tim, it’s how I met her.
I hear you aren’t getting over for the AGM, bummer, catch a beer next time.
Spoke to Gavin Berry on the hotline this morning abt sevco not being able to afford a youth development or scouting scheme cos it wd cost over 200k to fund it. Yet can pay sally nearly 4 times that in wages.
Be interesting to see if its printed.

So its based on a rabid hatred of the support then ?

Hahahaha…..are you telling me you are NOT a rabid hater of our Board ?….. It’s all you post about…….you are a Board Basher, IMO….are you saying you are not? ……hahaha..
Did you not read my post, where I stated that your resolution was ‘spot on’, but it should be directed at the SFA direct by all Clubs’ supporters, nd not at our Board…….sorry, but I feel you are more interested in the resolution being defeated than you are in getting the license rescinded, since this will allow you to Board Bash more intensely….

Tragic situation….feel so sorry for the poor man …. Dreadful illness
I really do believe the new 1 year old and a bit Rangers are running scared of playing Raith Rovers in the Ramsdens national final…!
I’m putting money on Raith
Now what the hell was Sally saying here
McCoist also expressed sympathy for supporters who will be unsuccessful in obtaining tickets for the 20,400 capacity stadium on April 6.
“I can understand them and I am on their side,” he said. I want as many Rangers supporters watching us in that cup final as humanely possible”
Humanely possible…..?
Is this a question of human rights or another play by slinky sally for the heart strings of ra peepil

Don’t know the answer to that. Not sure that he was, but it seems he was made aware of the internal, Ineos, report and resigned in advance. Not technically dismissed?
My dear,dear,dear,friend… The Singing Detective
Hiya,pally.. jist in..
Look, Here..
Did God create Evil.. afore he Created Good?
Mebbe, He did..Ah am no too sure… Ah hivnae reached a conclusion oan that..
Gimme a Minute.
Hmmmmm
Tough wan..Get back tae ye latah ,oan that!
Look Here.. No There!
God Created Good and God also Created.. Evil.
Right?
Noo.. Here is the Fifty Shilling Question.
Why did he Create .. Baith?
Hmmmm
Ah thought aboot that.
Well..
God Hid tae Create Baith.. because.
God hid….Also, given each of Us..
A Conscience.
Noo.. If God Hid only Created Wan of they Two..
Let’s say.. Goodness or Good.. Only.
Then..
He thur wid be no Need fur a Conscience..
Right?
But, As God hid Gone tae the trouble tae gie Each of us… a Conscience..
and the reason that he did…wiz… Well.. He Hid tae Gie Us a Means by which tae mak a Choice..
That is How yer Conscience works..
It Needs tae be Presented wi a Choice.. or..
Well.. It thur wid be No Need fur it’s Services,at awe, at Awe.
Right?
Noo…Why did God Gie us a Conscience?
Easy wan..
He gave us a Conscience.. because,like Ah already told ye… He wanted tae Gie us the means by which we could mak … a Choice.
You wull Notice that Before ye dae an Evil or a Good Deed..
Ye wull Hear a wee Voice in yer Heid..
Well..In case ye think ye ur gonna a Bit Barmy..
Let me Assure ye ye ur No..
Fur that .. Small Voice…which is reminding you of Jist Whit ye ur gonna Commit.. May or May not be fur the Best..
As far as You are concerned..
Is.. That same Conscience that God Created..fur you.
So it is Just daeing it’s allotted task…
It canny Help it..so Don’t be too Hard oan It.
That is the Basis of Free Will..
Which God, thought wiz a Good Idea..tae gie awe awe his Creations…At the Time!
Mebbe, he lived tae Regret it..
but..
God is God.. so ye kin Be sure…. that He didnae regret it..Wan wee bit..
fur..
Naebuddy wants tae Create a Race of Automatons.
A Big Bunch o Yes Men n Women.
Right?
God Created Evil.. in order tae Mak Us Good.
Many of us.. Commit An Evil Deed.. at wan time or anither..and some of Us.Commit Evil Act.. an Awfy Loat.
Howevahhhhh.. The Mair Evil Acts that Are Committed by a bunch of People..or even Wan.. Person.. Or a Company,which is Composed of People..
History has shown that .. eventually..
Those very Acts of Evil, committed by He/She…or the Company , which Evil Folk are Guiding… shall inexorably lead tae thur, Undoing.
Fur.. Evil Begets evil…and Evil Nevah Bring Happiness.
And Happiness, is another thing… Whit God Created .. but it kin only exist..
When there is an Absence of Evil..
And the complete and total… Absence of Evil…
Means that Good or Goodness, is the Only Wan remaining of the Original Duo.
Funny thing aboot When You or Even ye Dug.. diz Something Naughty..
You know that ye ur daeing something Naughty.. and so diz yer Dug..
Ah wid like tae believe that a Dug..mebbe,even a cat.. Hiz a Conscience Tae.
Na..Mebbe no a Cat..
Howevahhh..
Ma Dug Knows damn well When He diz something that wull Mak me Mad..
Mebbe, oan the ither haun… It disnae Hiv a Conscience after all..
Jist a Good Memory!
Anyway.. tae get back tae whit Ah wiz sayin’
Ach.. Ye know where Ah am Going wi’ this?
So why should Ah bother tae continue..???
Look…
Rangers evil Acts..which they hid ,willingly, Committed in the Past.. Led tae Their Demise.
and.. Malheureusement… they, obviously… are Unaware of That,as being the reason fur thur Total Collapse.
Ah know… that really disnae add up..
But… it diz appear that the G.A are so steeped in Evil that They hiv managed tae
silence thur conscience.. which Can be done.
Otherwise, We wid Hiv never hid bin a Hitler or a Stalin
Yes.. A conscience can be Silenced.. if Evil reigns Supreme..
No Doot aboot that.
so..
Like Ah told Ye,jist Noo..
Evil, Begets only Evil..
And The G.A. are well Ensconced in It’s Clutches.. fur they hivnae Listened or Couldnae Hear…. Thur Conscience.. and Hiv Not Changed thur Ways..
And As Long as Evil Exists.. Happiness, will continue tae hide under the Bed..
Which it is Quite Happy tae dae, at Ibrox.
So..
The G.A. wull Only get Unhappier , By the Number.. so long as
They remain in a State of Evil..
And..If the G.A. are fated tae by Unhappy.. for the Forseeable Future..
then..
Oan the Obverse of the Coin..
Where resides .. Celticfc…
Which wull Mean that Celtic wull only Grow Happier By The Number..
So
Like Ah said,afore..
Ah am Gled that the G.A. are Firmly Entrenched in continuing. tae commit thur Evil Acts..agin The Celtic and ithers..
Fur.. In the Long Run..
That kin Only Benefit Us..and the Ithers..
Long may the G.A, wear the Black Hat…
and
Long May the Celtic.. wear The White Hat.
Fur,right away ye jist know by that..
Who is Gonna Get be the Winner ,at the End of this Movie..
And it wull End..
Everything diz..sooner of later.

I have never accused you of crap. That you attribute that to yourself speaks volumes.
You have no knowledge, of the cases involving the “6”( as you call them), yet you trivialise their plight by your, IMO, infantile, “defence”,
You, S2S, no nothing about the six.

Why all the negativity, of course I like the board, they are the Celtic board ffs, I simply hope for a bit more representation.
I’ve been told on this blog for 10 years they have been working behind the scenes, yet after the biggest fraud in the history of football we are no further forward, and you are questioning my motives ffs, away and blie yer heed

I’m not sure mate
I don’t think they are that good and the venue imo suits Raith more
Yes you have to factor in the mibs but with the eagle eye of Turnbull Hutton watching I think they may well have to play fair in this national final.
If they need help to win against Raith and lets face it Raith done us one at Ibrox ….fairly
Then their shame will only multiply expediently…if that’s possible.

A confederacy of idiots
Ricksen was a mad Hun but I suspect if he’d signed for us he’d have been a mad Tim – he was a genuine 100% player…any real football fan has to respect that…albeit grudgingly when they pull on the blue top.
