The Mahatma Gandhi question

902

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 much prefer the winding up on here than the name calling, etc that I see on here all too often.

     

    Usually I get in just by signing a name and giving a donation. My favourite to use is Craig Whyte.

    I can’t see were kojo is coming from.

     

    If yourself or kojo believe newco won’t come back to haunt us! I think you are both badly mistaken.

     

    They are our humph and everything will be done to keep their resurrection on course.

     

    That is the reason I backed canamalar. HH

    We need to decide. Bowling club or Kerrydale suite? I am becoming a firm believer that CQNers should never be given a choice. ;)

    Indeed. The beginning. Hopefully leading to a happy ending.

    Kojo told me he didn’t back me, did you miss that ?

     

    Initially he “gave his blessing” when it became popular he became a detractor, told us we need to conform to the money, as you do. Why? Because it doesn’t matter when we’re all going to heaven anyway, so damn the future generations to slavery and the planet to become a dessert, suffer little children wasn’t meant to be an instruction. Turn your back on humanity is a bigger sin than murder.

    Imagine there’s no LNS

     

    Or MSM lies

     

    No Zombies below us

     

    Ahead of us, only CL league

     

    Imagine all the people living for today

     

     

    Imagine there’s no Ogilvie

     

    Or EBTs too

     

    No club for SFA to cheat or lie for

     

    No 5-way agreement too

     

    Imagine all the people living life in peace

     

     

    You may say

     

    I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one

     

    I hope some day they’ll join us

     

    And the SPL will treat teams equally

     

     

    Imagine no tribute act

     

    I wonder if you can

     

    No need for greed or hunger

     

    A brotherhood of man

     

    Imagine all the people sharing all the world

     

     

    You may say

     

    That I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one

     

    I hope some day they’ll join us

     

    And the SPL will be as one

    The Celtic board have never supported any resolution raised by anyone other than the board.

     

     

    PS – This is just the beginning.

     

     

    Twists & Turns:- Very true indeed, as regards to the Board never supporting any

     

    proposed resolution apart from their own proposals.

     

     

    Morrissey The 23rd:-Your spot on as regards to said Resolution 12 being just the

     

    beginning. The said number twelve resolution should be put on all future Hoops

     

    AGM’s just like how the Hoops Trust keeps pursuing ‘The Supporter On The Board

     

    Resolution’ for the past few years now which keeps being knocked back by our

     

    Custodians.

     

    However, the Hoops up and coming AGM for this year is being held on Friday the

     

    15th of November @ 10:30a/m in the Kerry Dale Suite

    I miss a lot of CQN because of the ridiculous rules in my work, I can’t say the name because I’d get FIRED.

     

     

    Let’s strip away all the bluster, was it in a private email?

  13. Canamalar.

     

     

    Yes, that’s my point. Or for that matter, BRTH, Auldheid. Fine fellows and no disrespect intended by mentioning them. Imagine George Galloway proposed it! Too many hooked on personality, ( which can only be based on assumptions on personalities based on postings on a blog??), rather than the content.

     

     

    Most people are more comfortable with old problems than with new solutions.

  14. Had a wee laugh at some zombie work colleagues today. They have been talking fitba again because of the Pawn broker final. At T break I decided to have a quiz.

     

    1. Name the last 3 Champs League winners.

     

    After debate they answered correctly.

     

    2. Name the last 3 Scottish Cup winners?

     

    After debate they answered correctly.

     

    3. Name the last 3 Ramsden Cup winners?

     

    None of them had a clue! Hahaha

     

    They eventually realised I was taking the P oota them. Thick zombies :))

    I believe in the baby Jesus, just no the same wan as Petec :o) his is an evil wan, fire and brimstone, wasn’t the message I took, I’m a sinner who begs forgiveness, my Jesus will forgive me and you, even if you don’t want it. My Jesus is Allah Jehovah jock tamson who never lets his children go, he might punish but he will always take us back, even lucifer will come back on his belly eventually and my god will show compassion when lucifer knows he cant compete, lucifer is just another of gods creations and god loves all his creations equally.

    I read a post earlier from E=MC2 saying that inferred that if your not from the east end you’re no Tim, Hmmmm?

     

     

    Well, I’m good in that respect but young ACGR is going to be so disappointed when I tell him he’s no longer welcome at paradise given that his birth certificate states Dundee as his birth place. FFS, how am I going to break this to my wee bro, he was born in the Thorn and has wasted tens of thousands of pound following Celtic for the last forty years.

     

     

    Ach well, I expect they’ll both just take it on the chin and go support DUFC and Johnstone Burgh.

     

     

    What an utterly stupid comment to make E=MC2, we pride ourselves on our openness and our global fan base, regardless of point of entry.

    Petec, does kojo have shares and a vote? If yes then he can vote against the resolution as is his prerogative.

     

     

    If not, who give a shit about his opinion on the resolution as it will have no bearing.
