The most secure club in Europe

868


Ronny Deila has been talking about a treble since early in the season, far too early for my liking.  History suggests that trebles are notoriously difficult to win, even for dominant teams.  The league is usually won by the best team but it’s hard to win every game in two cup competitions, no matter how good you are.

Despite this, I’ll not bet against Ronny getting his wish.  He needs to win four games cup games, three of which would be at neutral Hampden, with only one game, the Scottish Cup quarter final, possibly being played away from home.

The cynic among you will, therefore, expect an away draw, possibly in some far-flung end of the country, like Inverness.  My money is on a trip to Easter Road.  I’ll be happy to avoid Tannadice, scene of our last defeat and a place they’re understandably feeling sort over the loss of Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven.

People of Kirkcaldy: that whole 1994-Ibrox thing, forget about it, we’re OK.

Well done to Celtic for highlighting their position as the least likely football team to financially default, according the US rating agency, Standards & Poor’s.  Commercial and ticket income across Scottish football has fallen in recent years but that was only going to result in Armageddon if those in charge of clubs put an inflated sense of their own importance ahead of paying bills.

See the photo above sent by Mary’s Meals last week of the school kitchen we funded at CQ10.  Work is already underway to raise funds for a fourth CQN kitchen in Malawi after the CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner, on Friday 13 March at the Kerrydale Suite.  Email me for ticket, celticquicknews@gmail.com

  1. On income tax alone, the top 1% pay a staggering 25% of all tax. When you look at VAT, stamp duty, inheritance tax, taxes on capital gains and whatnot, you find a similar pattern.

    Guys, it’d be good if we didn’t start bickering today.

     

     

    One poster has been intimidated. Surely a time for us all to stick together ?

    Watched BBC highlights of the latest Sevco debacle.

     

     

    Following agricultural “challenge” by Elbows in the second half, commentator states …”that was a booking if he hadn’t been booked already” !!!

     

     

    Where do you begin to dissect the truths implicit in such a simple little statement?

     

     

    It speaks volumes about Elbows, Sevco, Scottish referees, BBC commentary, Compliance officers etc., etc.,

    Yeah I did – shocking assault.

     

     

    BBC is reporting that there’s a suggestion the SFA may look at an additional punishment …………

  7. MCCULLOCH IN ANGRY ACTION

     

    ==========================

     

     

    We HAVE seen, live on television, up close, over the last two weeks, the antics of Lee McCulloch.

     

     

    He IS leading with his forearm into the neck of opponents during ‘off the ground’ attempts to head the ball – the forearm from the elbow to the wrist is solid bone with not much in the way of padding from muscle covering.

     

     

    By lodging this, with force, into the back of an opponents neck, just as he (the opponent) strains to reach the ball is reckless in the extreme. The neck is extended and there are vertebrae in that area that could be easily fractured, resulting in a broken neck and possible spinal cord complications.

     

     

    Couple this with his ‘next trick’ – stamping with impunity and we must wonder what the hell is going on.

     

     

    WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

  8. Paul: ‘Well done to Celtic for highlighting their position as the least likely football team to financially default, according the US rating agency, Standards & Poor’s.’

     

     

    Aye: great news: we’ll be singing songs about this achievement for decades to come:

     

     

    ‘There was Bankier, Allison and Desmond, Duffy, Lawwell and Livingstone …’ etc.

    The Scottish football Lexicon:

     

     

    Remember when Gus MacPherson’s St Mirren were on the end of a spot kick decision at the Orc-Dome ?

     

     

    He was incandescent, outraged at the chicanery and called it a “Rangers Penalty”…………..

     

     

    NB the capitalisation.

    Any PC repair person worth their salt will back-up the hard drive before working on anything that might cause data loss.

     

     

    Only an unscrupulous one would keep the back-up, but that’s no need for scaremongering.

  13. BCW-I didn’t think any further action could be taken,as ref has seen it and ‘dealt’ with it? It’s referees’ who need disciplined ,and cheats like Madden.Apart from McCulloch’s usual thuggery,Black rugby tackled a RR player who was getting away from him,no card.HH

    Westminster is trying to cover up a major criminal/child abuse conspiracy dating back to the 1960s. The truth will out and hopefully the surviving victims can achieve some closure and maybe compensation. It’s not a party political issue; it’s about the abuse of trust and power. The cover up prolongs the agony for the victims.

     

    Whistleblowers are not bigots. Those who seek to make political points out of the suffering of vulnerable people are beneath contempt.

    From the BBC:

     

     

    “Livingston captain Jason Talbot could be handed a further punishment by the Scottish Football Association for his tackle on Hearts’ Sam Nicholson.

     

    Talbot caught the midfielder with a high boot, leaving Nicholson needing stitches in his head and face.

     

    Referee Brian Colvin issued a yellow card at the time of the incident.

     

    BBC Scotland has learned that the SFA’s compliance officer will speak to the official and has the power to issue the player a retrospective punishment.

     

    Winger Nicholson, 20, had to go off after the challenge and needed extensive treatment.

     

    The Tynecastle men, who are 19 points clear at the top of the Championship, won the game 3-2.”.
