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:

The lying King
“I’m not walking away, I’m going to continue looking for opportunities between now and the AGM to get a compromise situation,” King said. “I will reassess my position depending on the outcome of the AGM, particularly if I believe short-termism remains. I will be prepared to reconsider my current position, and could possibly intervene in the market. “I don’t believe the shareholder base will be so conflicted after the AGM, since there will be a shake up regardless of the outcome. In a year’s time, it will be possible for a block of shares to be held by right-minded people, but we will have to get through a lot to get to that stage. I have never gone into a board meeting in my life to vote on issues, the board must work by consensus and discussion, but that has been a reflection of the way the business has been run recently.”
Expenses for quips now thats a blog
…zaluska last game I think was the Dublin decider which was decided when big Amido rammed wan in..!
King said that administration is “not an imminent threat”, but he does believe it “is a distinct possibility if the AGM results in a continuing lack of continuity on one side or the other”.
Asonofdan,
I think he will. Ban will be reduced.
If it’s not…..well it’s no been a fair hearing :)
CQN annual ordered……..

Looking forward to the pat nevin interview :o)
Geordie…. Fairness very seldom enters the equation when celtic are in the dock..
Just a thought,
The resolution might create mistrust of Scottish UEFA recommended plants :od
The permutations are limitless :o)
Jim McColl IMHO must have had an almighty helping hand in his quest for business success.
After watching his SSN interview again it is littered with contradictions and full of Wouda,shouda ,coulda.
No wonder he doesn’t like doing interviews a decent interviewer would have torn him to shreds (again IMHO).
Then the thought entered my head that they are getting really really really desperate.
spivs dont do giving away.
Will miss the game tomorrow as I am meeting friends from Alexandria and having a wee day in Balloch.
Need to get a diarycsc:((
canamalar-well done to all re the Resolution:)
Spirit of Arthur Lee – Did you enjoy the gig last night?

*Blows dust of CQN quip book*
A nasty man called Jim McColl is saying sevco neads an urgent rescue to save the CLUB shurely it,s the holding company he means.
Morning all. Cold, wet and very windy down here.
Hope all is well in CQNland.

RE. the Fraser Forster stuff and January departures, I think most of it is MSM pash. At best it’s just them filling up their toilet papers, at worst (assuming we’re not paranoid) they’re at the usual attempts to unsettle our players/fans.
Why would Man. Utd be interested when they have De gea who cost them a packet and is now delivering the goods? Man City? Pellegrini seems to be looking covetously at the Malaga keeper that he worked with so closely and is more likely to go with/for the guy he knows rather than take a chance with a guy he doesn’t. Barca would be a great destination for La Gran Muralla, but when is the last time Barca had a non-Spanish keeper (genuine question)?
Next summer would not be an unlikely departure date for FF, at the end of another successful season with us AND the likliehood of playing an active part in the England set-up.
Don’t believe any keech you read in our papers up here – it can damage your health. Wait for the word from the Club!
Bada..,
Its getting exciting, innit. Truly scunnered I wont be there and able to react to any statements made, but its in very very good hands, plenty turning up, probably be one of the best attended since the days of Fergus, hopefully wall flowers who experience inspiration will become heroes and ask for clarification on their thoughts. The number of time I’ve heard the greatest questions after the fact fail to be asked, because the thought occurred to a shy retiring don’t want to create an issue easy living geezer, these are exactly the questions that need to be asked, if your shy pass your question on to a blabbermouth and ask them to blurt it out, please.

BMCUWP,
I expect we wont be needed anyway, as auldheid said the river is flowing, and as the waterboys said, that was the river this is the sea, emancipate yourself from mental slavery was another tims message.

Pat Nevin is a wee excuse for an “intellectual” he has wee mans syndrome and shouldn’t really have been given space to air his pointless views in such a prestigious tome.
Shame you cant make the AGM I was looking forward to meeting you there, never mind, might see you at Christmas time if you are home then.

I’m going to Savages the night before, and Deathfix (Brendan Canty of Fugazi’s current project) the night after, so I don’t think I’d be allowed out 3 nights in a row.
Queens of the Stone Age on the 16th too, and Shellac on the 23rd. It’s a great month for gigs.
