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:

So John Reid was talking shite then ?
JFH,
Exactly, as long as some are willing to ignore corruption on the back of empty promises the longer it will take to achieve unity.
My Ladbrokes on line account was rumbled in August to tune of £71.
Still contesting this.
Opened small account with another company 2 weeks ago.
Always had problems logging in and used different passwords.
Discovered last night that this account, too, was hacked ! Fortunately, a small amount, but enough for me to change all passwords today and cancel debit card. IMHO, there is a major scam out there. I googled Betting account hacked…..and results were scary !
So…….be very, very, wary ,
Hail, Hail !

Technically innocent…..were u choking as u typed that ?? Nothing “technical” about it ….THEY ARE !! U quote frm the bbc website as if ur reading frm scripture mo chara,are u really so naive as to believe everything u read on a media outlet ??? They have recieved that info frm polis Scotland,a gang who surely even u would admit are against all things Catholic,Republican,Celtic ??!! And as for ur other problems “comrades and UTLR ” ….if I was referring to Che Guevara and used term comrade ?? Or when a comrade stood on the steps of Paradise and declared to all that “The Rebels have won” !! Would u take umbrage with either of that and declare it has no place ? Very curious !

Awe Naw will probably slap me down for agreeing with him:)…but it seems to me, that members of our board are asking the supporters, to turn the other cheek, and bow down to corrupt practice.
Surely we cant condone corrupt organisations.

Pal of mine just rang he has two packages for Amsterdam. Two guys who were going can’t make it now due to work commitments. It’s 2 nights BnB flying from Glasgow, leaving Glasgow Tuesday at 10am coming back on Thursday at 1pm. The hotel is next to the stadium and underground for those looking to sample the delights of Central Amsterdam. £450 inc tickets for the game!
Anyone interested get my email from Paul67…..

The Attractions and the Blockheads took turns at headlining and the gist of the talk from all on the programme was that by trying to outdo each other every night, both bands reached great levels of performance and the audience went home happy with both. A great double bill (but not forgetting Wreckless Eric et al).
Now, Graham Parker and the Rumour and Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. That would be a great double bill. I’d pay £1.65 to see them at the ole Appollo. And I know a man who did.

I did too!

you are a lucky lucky tim. I’ve lost count of the number of people who have raved about that concert. They toured the US together also with SJ headlining.
I am sure you know but GP and Rumour on Jools Holland tomorrow night (and were on Tuesday). I quite liked The National who were/are on too.
Zombie love in coming up on sky sports news jim whyte interviews jim mc Coll aye it’s Halloween alright
“Stand by to here what one of the richest men in Scotland has in store for the club….lol ye cannae make it up
McColl on SS
JIM W(s)hite interviewing
SS banner suggests he’s the sixth wealthiest person in Scotland ….yet JW suggests he might be the wealthiest
More aggrandising ….wonder if he’ll ask him why he only owns a paltry amount of shares
This is unbelievable bull on a grand scale ” Charles green to be fair took them out of administration!!!” Christ on a bike are there no journalists left??
McColl suggested he couldn’t invest substantial sums as he has responsibilities to his financial associates
Does he not have any money of his own ??
Jim McColl
” ave got loads money and am keeping it…..but a luv the ranjurs so a dae….”
SSN and Jim White getting to the bottom of it….

WG I take it that the Donnelly in the ‘well team is wee Sid’s da. I also noticed in that side one of the most venomous ant-Celtic players when playing against us..mccrae.
Wee story about rh davidson. I at that time had a colleague at work who came fae Partick, his name was Peter and was known as Peter fae Partick. Peter wasn’t that much intae fitba and much preferred fishing and working in his plot on the weekends. I on the other hand never fished so would get him a permit for the River Leven using my address.
Peter though if pushed admitted tae having a preference for a deid team.
He had a sister who lived in Airdrie and she and her husband were in the Civil Service and were friendly through the local “bowling club” with davidson.
A wedding is approaching, his sister’s daughter, and he obviously is invited, so also is davidson and his wife.
Now big gas meter has another sister who’s daughter is married tae a Bankie Jungle Jim who is also invited and they are all a wee nervous on how he will react.
True tae form the Bankie Bhoy didnae miss davidson and hit the wall, “how come we never win when you ref” was one of the quotes, the lhad was requested tae leave the ceremony early.
BTW Peter used tae drink every Saturday night with his best friend, another rabid Tim, who’s son was a ref. Think he lived in Balfron.

Definitely one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to at The Apollo, and there were a lot of great gigs in the late seventies to see me through my formative years!
Missed Jools Holland on Tue, but did catch him when Squeeze supported Eddie and The Hot Rods! One Hit Wonders, I know, but a classic all the same.
Will tune in tomorrow, thanks for that.
According to last night’s Evening Times, the 5/6 were arrested for conspiring to kill Mad Dog Adair. (and his boyfriend too no doubt!)

What is it with Huns and the truth.
Green brought then out of administration?
Did he now.
Is there no one that can take these morons to task?
Surely the media outlets have a duty to report the truth and correct missrepresentation?
Why won’t the just die and go away.
See that £3.00 that Jim McColl has invested in Sevco, does that give him access to all their accounts etc? He seems to know a hell of a lot about it, so much so, that SSN are hanging on every word he says!
The gift that keeps on giving!

I had the privilege of being invited to the Seattle Sounders vs Colorado Rapids knockout game last night, played in Seattle last night.
After learning I was a Tim, many polite and insatiably curious entrepreneurial minded Americans quizzed me about a certain tax dodging undead, ghoulike sports team and Scottish football in general. I was surprised how many were up to speed about the shenanigans of the Halloween zombie rabble hordes.
Thanks to Paul and CQN I was prepared to expound on the more gritty stuff with sufficient insight and clarity. So thank you all bampots who contribute and educate the rest of us.
