For decades complaints from you, your fathers and their fathers before them were dismissed. Your accusations that your club and its supporters followed the rules, while others ignored them, were roundly derided as paranoia – a mental illness, no less.
If we’re being generous….. there’s no denying some of us are paranoid (several million comments on CQN provides at least some evidence), but not most of you, and not on the central theme on which these accusations were based.
Get to bed early tonight, tomorrow the truth will out. I’ll leave you with a Nat King Cole mood setter to help you chill. If you watch it until the end you’ll see him mimicking playing a flute, memories of a happier time, for some.

One last memory before bed. I was in the Ibrox enclosure under the stand trying to get some shelter from the rain for the 2-2 game.
At half time I got hit by a dive bombing hun pigeon. Everyone but me thought it was lucky.
Given the level of feeling on the terracing I was astonished to see the players shaking and embracing warmly after the game.
Best Celtic video I’ve seen in a long time…
Just watched Paul67’s video in the lead article, Nat King Cole does that sooooo well. I recommend it to you all, it’s a great way to start the day, i’m away to walk wee Riley!

Good morning CQN from a bright sunny morning in Clydebank
Can’t wait for the report to-night
Great stuff Paul loved the Video clip
Keep the faith
Hail Hail
Good morning fellow Celts from a glorious morning in West London.
Paul67 – great warm up for the main event
I suspect there will be last-minute attempts to spike the Daly prog tonight?
Aunt Beeb know the game is up and someone somewhere has decreed it’s time for some serious news on a story they sat on – the intervention of Mr Thompson on CH4 will have helped stir them to action
niotice that the sop or concession to hunnery is prog only to be shown in Scotland and 6 counties…the MSM can still flatten the sound somewhat
However, confident the news will break nationally (coast to coast :-)and internationally ..very quickly

There is a site called TV catch up. Hopefully all you have to do is put Scotland as your location. It can be a bit jumpy at times of high demand.
I expect the SFA and SPL to adopt a ‘nothing to see here’ attitude and ignore whatever the BBC reports about the Huns
Chaplin if ye like :¬)

Can I ask would you subscribe to any of the following ideals and aspirations?
———————-
We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunities for employment and earning a living.
The activities of the individual must not be allowed to clash with the interests of the community, but must take place within its confines and for the good of all. Therefore, we demand:…an end to the power of the financial interests.
We demand profit sharing in big business.
We demand a broad extension of care for the aged.
We demand…the greatest possible consideration of small business in the purchases of the national, state and municipal governments.
In order to make possible to every capable and industrious [citizen] the attainment of higher education and thus the achievement of a post of leadership, the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our entire system of public education…We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents…
The government must undertake the improvement of public health — by the greatest possible support for all clubs concerned with the physical education of youth.
[We] combat the…materialistic spirit withn and without us, and are convinced that a permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of The Common Good Before the Individual Good .
Tv Catchup is brill, my wife watches TV on her kindle via TV catchup, you do need a good timternet connection, its free download and try.

I see the Kilmarnock chairman is up to his old -let’s save r******* routine again .
If this guy spent as much time sorting his own club out as he does trying to save the Huns , then Kilmarnock would be in a much healthier financial position .
Maybe if he grew a pair and stood up to the tax avoiding , dual contract paying playground bully then Scottish football would be in a much better place.
This guy is on a par with Dungcaster , instead of punishing the cheats they want to protect them .
How’s this for a quote – ” you have to be careful if you are trying to protect a football club which is a very long standing and historical institution .
You have to take care not to come in to heavily with penalties and points deductions which actually put people off investing in that club and trying to make it healthy. ”
This guy makes me puke.
NO TO NEWCLUB in the SPL
This is the program ye want to tune into…….. tic toc….. tic toc….. their partys over…

Re BBC1 tonight at 8pm, not 100% but think i am right. Only on BBC Scotland but if you have SKY you should get it on channel 975, even abroad. Rented a villa in Majorca couple of years ago with SKY & was able to watch Reporting Scotland every night, sad I know. Good luck.
Enjoy the sunshine everyone, slap on the sunscreen :)))
Good morning CQNers,
Reading through the overnight posts it’s startling to see a theme develop where we’re prouder of our supporter’s performance rather than that of our team, now that’s a strange development and something that is a little perturbing.
Is the new media driving a new mindset where the supporters are more important than the team?
Paul67 has signposted today as an important day for some time and my wish is that Mark Daly’s programme concentrates the debate to the criminality involved at Rangers and doesn’t, as predicted elsewhere, produce a new target for Rangers supporters wrath by pointing the finger at the mishandling of the administration by Duff and Phelps.
Sorry to get your hopes up. Tvcatchup only carries BBC London.
midfield maestro –
Admit it. You just could not endure 2 weeks without seeing Jackie Bird.

good post
careful mate I got a doing for saying something similar after the Arsenal game at Emirates …
everyone talking about the show by our fans ..blah, blah
when we had just been completely gubbed home and away
my point- we once had a rep for beating English teams home and away and that was the story
seems as long as the boays put on a good show in the stands the fitba results are not as important anymore…canny figure that reasoning
onyhow
on your 2nd point – correct – aim to keep focus away from Murray because he knows who was being looked after in the meeja ..it’s a mutual preservation thang

Killie – NO PUNISHMENT FOR NEWCO
And why should there be? It’s obvious the great Glasgow rangers should get away with 20 years of cheating without punishment. Surely?

Last time I checked we won the league………comfortably.
Last time I checked we hammered our biggest rivals in the last derby game.
Last time I checked we were playing a friendly tonight with NO points at stake.
Last time I checked we scored more and conceded less goals than anyone else in the SPL.
Last time I checked we will be playing in the SPL next season with the same core of a side and possible additions to replace some deadwood.
So am I concerned about us losing a friendly?
Am I concerned about the “Cracked Crest” that will undoubtedly appear in this week’s red tops?
Negatory good buddy.
*************************
The above desrves a re-post IMO, HH the Celts are here.
Negatory great word CSC
Morning,
CELTIC
manager
Neil
Lennon
has
urged
the
Parkhead
board
to
give
him
the
money
to
land Scottish scoring sensation Jordan
Rhodes.
The Hoops boss, who hopes a deal can be
concluded for Fraser Forster over the next
24 hours, has now made the red-hot
Huddersfield Town striker his top target
after he lost out on Latvian Artjoms
Rudnevs to Hamburg.
Celtic were willing to pay £3 million for
Rudnevs and now Lennon wants his club to
meet the Terriers asking price and table the
same amount for 40-goal Rhodes.
Lennon wants the offer made before
Huddersfield go into this weekend’s League
One play-off final with Sheffield United.
West Ham United, Fulham and Bolton are
all keen but the Scotland under-21
international would prefer to move to Celtic.
Rhodes doesn’t believe he would get
regular football if he moved to the Premier
League and would rather build-up his
reputation in Scotland and in the Champions
League, like Gary Hooper has done, than be
a fringe player in England’s top flight.
Hooper out Rhodes in = profit?
FC Taxdodger’s new cheerleader has spoken…
MICHAEL JOHNSTON has again urged SPL clubs NOT to hammer crisis-torn Rangers next week.
Kilmarnock chief Johnston claims clubs must be wary of wrecking Charles Green’s rescue by piling on more punishment.
But his comments will enrage rivals who have called for heavy sanctions should Gers try to bounce back into the SPL as a newco.
Johnston said: “You have to be careful if you’re trying to protect a club which is a very long-standing and historical institution.
“You have to be very careful not to come in too heavily with penalties and points deductions or financial penalties which actually put people off investing in that club and trying to make it healthy.”
Johnston is among Hampden top brass who will consider fresh penalties next week if Gers become a newco.
The Ibrox club have already been hit with a points deduction, Euro ban, £160,000 fines and a transfer embargo and face further crippling financial punishment.
Johnston added: “It’s not the new owners who have done the damage — it is the previous owners.
“Some people in football have overlooked the fact Rangers were penalised ten points, the maximum penalty under SPL rules, which effectively ended their title challenge.
“They were then refused a UEFA licence by the SFA and so can’t compete in Europe next year.
“The third penalty they have suffered already is the fine combined with the one-year embargo on signing new players over 18.
“Those are three very substantial penalties that Rangers have suffered.
“The European ban and the signing embargo are likely to effect the newco or Rangers under a CVA.
“So how many more penalties should be piled on top of a club that is trying to recover from a desperate situation?
“And a group of people who have no part to play in the bad things that happened in the past?”
SPL chairmen will meet at Hampden next week to consider sanctions on newco clubs and increased penalties for clubs that go into administration.
Green plans to push for a newco if a CVA is rejected by Gers’ creditors on June 6.
But harsh sanctions from SPL clubs could place Green’s bid under serious jeopardy.
Johnston said: “There are a few things that needed ironing out.
“We need to know who the investors and the Green consortium are, and there is also the SPL’s investigation into the dual contract situation.
“I can’t exclude the possibility there will be further penalties.
“All I am saying is people should remember three significant penalties have already been imposed on Rangers.”
Johnston’s plea could fall on deaf ears if other chairmen have their way.
St Johnstone supremo Steve Brown claimed last night a newco Gers MUST be punished.
He added: “If I’ve got a vote I will not let Rangers in without sanctions.
“The feeling from the people I’ve spoken to from within the chairmen’s ranks is they won’t let Rangers in with a ‘get out free card’.
“There has to be some form of punishment.”

your right mate, just wish to god this programme if as hard hitting as we hope , was being shown all over the uk . Its way past the point where we dont let the whole country see whats been going on up here . And with regards to doncaster , no matter what the outcome of newco is , this chap should be out a job ALONG with the rest of his cronies, if after this programme and its what we want from it , i hope the bbc . alex thompson go after the governance of scottish football , THERE is a story there too .
jimtim.
Guten Morgen.
No dis-respect to Kilmarnock FC,their manager or their supporters…but enough is enough.
Johnstone is an arse regarding hun punishment. By his logic, It’s like saying if you have already punished someone for petty theft, breach of the peace and shoplifting, then they shouldn’t get punished again when it is discovered that they have also committed murder.
Punishment should fit the crime.

Unbelievable really, I would be raging if I was a Killie supporter.
The punishments meted out so far are only for the the tenure of Craig Whyte as I understand it, maybe a suitable punishment would be to give them the same punishment for each and every one of the past 20 years of systematic cheating.
