Thistle’s aim for top 6, the liquidator’s duty

490

It’s another big day in the title race as Aberdeen visit Firhill. Partick Thistle’s form has been up and down recently, losing to Hearts and Dundee United, beating St Johnstone home and away, winning and losing against Motherwell, all in their last six games. They have not won or lost by more than two goals win or defeat since November.

Aberdeen’s games since the turn of the year have also been tight, a 3-1 defeat at Inverness last month is the only occasion there has been more than a single goal in any of their games. It’s likely to be tight tonight.

A win would put Thistle into the top six, is it too much to ask…….

Natural justice would suggest that Rangers liquidators, BDO, should be allowed to appeal to the Supreme Court on the club’s creditors’ behalf (they were granted permission to appeal this morning). Rangers won the initial decision on a number of their players EBTs, and then the first appeal, so it’s clear there are finer points of law at play.

With Rangers now in liquidation, creditors may wonder why BDO are spending their (diminishing) pot of money on what is sure to be extravagant legal fees, especially as HMRC is the most influential creditor.  Liquidators have a responsibility to the creditors to dismiss any claims on creditors’ funds which cannot be substantiated.  If the liquidator wins at the Supreme Court, all creditors apart from HMRC will receive a higher payout.

I don’t imagine Supreme Court hearings and written judgements are arranged in a hurry, so put this one on the back burner for a while, but there remains a lot at play here.  I’ve tried to steer clear of the issue for a while now, as it’s little more than a distraction, but that’ll change should HMRC win in London.

Good luck to Thistle tonight.

    Sorry mate – I haven’t a clue what your answer means.

     

     

    If you or anyone disagrees that’s fine, but it would help the debate if my points were rebutted by reasoned counter-points.

     

     

    I think we all want the same thing, however we disagree on the timing.

     

     

    Let me just say one other thing – it is not beyond the realms of possibility that new information to make our case a ‘slam dunk’ in upcoming court cases and when HMRC finally overcome this appeal.

     

     

    The real reason that some are getting frantic is the imminent return of the cheats to the top tier – we must ‘keep our powder dry’

    Excluding their visit to Celtic Park, how many points do you think, having seen them at first hand, the sheep’ll take from the other 8 games, which include 2 v the Jambos?

     

     

    Don’t worry, if you get it wrong, I’ll not blame you.

  9. Margaret McGill on

    Holy Trinity..you know ..father son holy ghost…you’d think catholics who support Celtic would have a head start conceptually being able to discern between Celtic the board Celtic the club and Celtic the Holy supporters…but then again I went tae a kafflik skool..

    Totti is the third Italian Number 10 to be given a standing ovation @ The Bernebeu . ( Del Piero / Pirlo )

     

     

    Real Madrid not my favourite club,but respect to the guys you mentioned has been earned. Seen the ovation Totti got,it’s what makes football good. I stood up in the Main Stand when Ronaldinho got subbed and applauded him,a fud behind me said ‘what are you standing up for,he doesn’t play for Celtic?….’.I kept expletives to a minimum (Main Stand and all that…), I told him that he had been truly brilliant and he had entertained me, I sat down to some applause from my fellow sweetie rustlers in WS2.HH

    I made no comment on the CFC Board.

     

    All I am stating as witnessed tonight is, be prepared

     

    to get zilch, as ever, from thems in black!

     

     

    errr….if that’s ok

  15. Mr Pastry

     

     

    How can they return to somewhere they’ve never been?

     

     

    Unless you’re referring to certain individuals, of course, rather than Sevco, the football club.

    What’s is the collective word for group of singing detectives?

     

     

    I think it’s a “wank” of singing detectives.

     

     

    Tell us don

    That was well worth the read back.

    I said the “cheats” are returning – King/Murray and all the other individuals and hangers-on….and the culture, fanbase and administration who perpetuate the myth of an un-broken and successful history – all in all, the constituency of Rangers.

     

     

    The Rangers constituency will always be with us, in one form, or, another – if a football club didn’t exist they would have to invent one. We will always have to deal with them and that is why I am so anxious that when we do hold them to account for using tax fraud and insiders at the SFA to cheat us, that we are on solid ground with watertight evidence to sustain our case – we will only get one chance to ‘nail them’ and they will use their friends in the media to discredit our submissions.

    George Martin.

     

     

    Played a major part in making the `60s the most wondrously inventive musical decade.

     

    A part of our lives as teenagers.

     

    Every party.Every clinch.Every wished for outcome. Every knockback. Every ( rare ) success.

     

     

    Now, when you put that together with Jock , you can understand how privileged we `60s punters were.

     

    I certainly didn`t at the time.

     

     

    George R.I.P.

  20. Good morning friends from a damp underfoot but calm, mild-ish and bright looking East Kilbride. Exciting times in the ole SPL then.

    Record cranks up the anti -Celtic agenda this morning .

     

     

    Headline including the words Gangland Fued , Leigh Griffiths and Hidden Gun ..

     

     

    Big Sutton gets it in the neck also for speaking the truth !

  22. Channelislandcelt,

     

     

    I used to laugh at sensarionalist American papers like the National Enquirer and others, with stories of bigfoot and Elvis is alive. I used to wonder about a nation that could rear people who would read and believe those stories.

     

    The Daily Record isn’t far off that level now.

     

     

    They must have no conscience.

  23. Echo everyone who is saying RIP SIR GEORGE MARTIN – a musical genius and a lovely man – sadly so much modern music emerges through the super-hype of platforms like X-Factor etc – how many identikit voices must we suffer?

    Re Res12 and other issues.

     

    I have regularly read on CQN that we must await the outcome of various court cases before anything could be acted upon. It would seem that it will take at least four years for legal completion. Does that mean NOTHING will happen until then or are there other matters which can now go ahead?

     

    JJ

    Hail Hail fella, hope yer well.

     

    It probably means that, by the time the cock crows….the deid(LOL) huns will be on the march to 4 in a row whilst, Celtic toil to reach the top six…playing to crowds under 10,000….imho.

     

    Ye see, all this will come about because, Celtic supporters have took the wrong rout in their battle with the establishment.

     

    Know why ?

     

    Because, Celtic shareholders or rather, a committed band of rebels, led by the peerless Auldheid and the resolution : 12 plan of attack which these well cultured minds believe, will bring justice.

     

    On the other hand, it could be realistically argued that, there won’t be a Celtic FC around by the time the res:12 cows come home with the bacon.

     

    Where as….if, Celtic supporters had opened their eyes when, the Celtic PLC / board sold the clubs soul in a ‘deal with the devil’ at the govt-summit, they would have seen the clubs collusive leaders, laying out Celtic FC on the establishment’s alter of betrayal when they…..

     

    Hung Neil Lennon out to dry.

     

    Grassed-up the supporters for singing songs that annoyed the establishment.

     

    Reigned-in Neil Lennon’s campaign for justice against the Scottish referee’s.

     

    Looked the other way as, the huns won 3 in a row, the board looked the other way as – Rangers won 3 in a row on the back of, mibs ‘honest-mistakes’ to get the CL-money pot whilst, taking Celtic fans Season Book money….knowing full well that, the game was already rigged….surely ‘thats’ worse than anything the cheating huns have done ?

     

    Anyway…imho….if the res:12 folk want to investigate corruption and, cheating and, deception then they should be starting in chronological order…..

     

    Get the cheats off the board – let the ‘new’ board take on the hun-cheats.

     

    A group of Celtic shareholders who are nobodies mugs by, any stretch of the imagination will hopefully(for me)…get the justice that they seek and, if ‘true’ justice is going to be the order of the day then, Celtic’s hierarchy have to have, the handcuffs placed on them as well…imho.

     

    As it is….the huns were given a chance to tool-up-for-revenge when, they were allowed to start again…that was the school boy error that could lead to the death of Celtic FC.

     

    A Celtic FC which will be, consumed by, apathy, suspicion, paranoia, fear and, the crumbs of a grim harvest will be the one which will cough and, splutter along till all the legals are complete.

     

    Celtic fans for, 4 years now have been consumed by jelly & ice cream as they laughed at the death of Rangers FC.

     

    All the while…..Celtic Fc was dying under their noses.

     

    So, so sad….

     

    …..bye…..

  25. No wonder newspaper sales are in the toilet. In the BA Lounge in Glasgow. Front page of the Dsily Ranger has a headline story about how an Edinburgh gangsters girlfriend was once Leigh Griffiths partner.

     

     

    FFS WTF has that got to do with anything!

     

     

    Some arse called Alan McEwen wrote the story. Nae time to do so but feel free to complain to e everybody about this crap!

    One of our finest hours as a support in recent years was the standing ovation Iniesta received from us.

    George Martin RIP

     

     

    Very sad news.

    Yeah, tragic.

     

     

    He was only 90.

    Never had you down as ungracious, Ernie.

     

     

    Tragic that a musical genuis has gone – surely his final age is irrelevant?

     

     

    His musical talent shaped me as a young person in the sixties and thereafter – my appreciation of music would have been the poorer if not for his influence.
