By now, even the most red, white and orange tinted glasses wearers must be coming around to thinking there’s something off about Newco’s dossier of evidence of bullying and unfair sporting advantage which should have seen Neil Doncaster and Rod McKenzie suspended three weeks ago.
At a Premiership club meeting on Friday, Newco chief exec Stewart Robertson promised to release their evidence today, creating a genuine sense of anticipation among a support who have had little substantial to cheer for many years. Instead, they awoke to news that information would not be released until Thursday.
There are 41 other clubs in the SPFL, they have all discussed the issue between them and none know who was allegedly bullied. Newco have given themselves another two days to convince someone they were subject to a grievous offence.
It reminds me of Ricky Fulton’s sketch from the 1980s (below). You can imagine Stewart Robertson phoning round, “Have you ever been nearly bullied?” Good luck, Stewart, all of CQN is rooting for you.

Celtic were winning the cup against Dunfermline that day. We met Liverpool in the semis of the Cup Winners Cup the next season. I think.

Seems that some in football, (though not in Scotland) clearly think they know more about a new virus than the medical and scientific community. Germany, Spain……England all heading for the Nobel Prize for Medicine

I posted an article on here yesterday written on 18th Feb, I think, about Castore. It stated that they had managed to raise £7.5 million in extra investment. I don’t suppose that investment came from one person, who may have had a plan, making them the major investor in the company?
There is no real difference. I think all the Governments have worked Together as much as possible.
It is just that Nichola is less Hated than Boris.

I missed Dominic B’stard briefing today, sounds a bit like sevco.
‘ The figure is a 693 rise from Monday’s figure of 28,734, the first minister and foreign secretary added – leaving the UK’s recorded total higher than that of Italy, once the epicentre of the virus in Europe, for the first time.
However Mr Raab said the severity of the figure reflected the abilities of the nation to effectively record deaths in all settings – including in the community and in care homes – adding that the UK only appeared to be the worst effected country in Europe because it is a “world leader” in “collecting statistics”.’
I’m sure the bereaved will be comforted by the fact that Britain is a world leader.
I was also wondering if the postmen and women had gone on strike seeing the daily tests since 30th April have dropped well below the target figure of 100k? Better to admit you failed than to lie but it would appear the English electorate like to be governed by liars.
The Ventriloquist’s Dummy still hiding….
Just as I clicked on that link I knew I shouldn’t have. Obviously Bill Gates is the Devil incarnate and is responsible for all that goes wrong on this planet. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that sevco have proof of Bill Gates funding the SPFL executive and being directly responsible for bullying Scottish football clubs.
Little known fact: Bill Gates visited Anfield on 27th April, 2014. He was being shown around the ground pre-match and was eating a banana. During his time on the pitch he carelessly dropped that banana skin. The rest is history.

Not sure where I said Nicola was following Boris’ lead. But that’s not important point. As you say, the substance is what is important.
Which means that being able to convey that substance clearly so that people can understand it is important.
And Nicola does it better than Boris.
Off topic here is one to pass the wee hours under the theme football pitches I have played on, prompted by a link posted on SFM.

An informative read from the Guardian .
https://www.theguardian.com/football/the-agony-and-the-ecstasy/2020/may/05/celebrating-great-inventors-changed-football-forever
=============
I wish John Alexander Brodie’s goal net invention had found its way to South Pollok football pitches behind the old National Savings Bank at Cowglen circa 1966.
South Pollock was at the time one of the few grass parks in Glasgow, the inappropriately named Glasgow Green pitches having only migrated from black ash clinker to red blaes a few year before.
Red blaes was for some reason seen as an improvement, possibly because the wound resulting from a side tackle looked better in red than black. For the record I never made a slide tackle in my life on black or red, my brains were in my feet, my cowardice flowed all the way from my heart to my head.
Anyhoo back at netless South Pollok I ran on to a through pass and rounded the keeper with a swerve Graham Leggat would have been proud of (if you don’t know who he was you are too young for SFM) but had to go wide of the keeper to form the narrowest of angles . The goal from my line of sight was the width of the ball plus maybe 2cm clearance either side.
However such was the accuracy of my finishing shot it cleared both posts, equidistant from either as it sailed into the space where a net should have been.
I turned to celebrate my achievement to see the referee pointing in the wrong direction, not to the centre circle but the 6 yard box for a goal kick.
The full time whistle blew soon after to halt my protestations, which the ref took in good humour, he just did not believe me.
Looking back, although I ranted on all the way back to the dressing room I don’t blame him, I was a bit amazed myself that I had scored with such precision, sclaffs that went in by accident being my forte…..

If the Scottish Government gives any significant funding to ‘Scottish Football’ on account of the effects of the shutdown due to covid-19, there would surely be a case for top-slicing to compensate to some degree any club actually relegated when they might have had a fighting chance of saving themselves if the remaining matches (if the season is curtailed) were played?
======================================
I wouldn’t be giving them any more than is being given to other businesses of comparable size. Most clubs will already be using the furlough scheme so are already in receipt of taxpayers cash. There are businesses across the country who are having to lay off staff, while the biggest clubs continue to pay large sums as well as deferring a proportion of wages to their top players. In most cases the intention is to keep their most valuable “assets” sweet.
I’m afraid that when the bottom falls out any market, as it is currently doing, then football clubs need to do the same as all other businesses do in the similar circumstances, cut their costs savagely.
There is an option for clubs to stop paying wages while games are suspended, by using clauses in their contracts. For some reason they would prefer to get handouts.
Scottish football needs to be mothballed for the next six months or so, then pick up the pieces from there.
==============
Auldheid to EJ
Mothballed and Govt support. We must stop thinking like this. 🙂
@ClydeSSB
You mentioned Govt providing £16m (?) to English rugby. Is that being spread over all clubs to maintain existing wage levels or has minimum wage level to cover been set to provide more to meet fixed costs? Is that not an issue Scot Gov should want addressed if approached?
Replying to
@Auldheid
@ClydeSSB
I think the term “Mothballing” might become more frequently heard in coming weeks. Some clubs, if not all, might need Govt (i.e. taxpayer) assistance but subsiding high wages cannot be a feature of any funding.
That was to Clyde SSB earlier tonight who will eventually catch up with reality. Players will be the ones under pressure in a buyers market. Perhaps an emergency wage ceiling might be adopted with increments leading up to it based on percentage of existing pay?
I’d be interested on folks views on how players wages during mothballing might be assessed.
That is players already with a contract.
Players out of contract not wanted would not be covered.
Players out of contract but wanted would be limited by mothballing affordability but as you say cannot want to be treated better than their average supporter in the same loss of wage position.
Is this a factor behind TRFC’s dossier?
If they put themselves into administration before the season ends, they take a 15 points deduction which not only makes Celtic uncatchable on points but counters their claims to title being tainted.
The points deduction is a sporting penalty. The reasoning is money that should have prevented insolvency by paying legitimate creditors or other clubs whose players might have been purchased and which clubs might not get fully paid, was used to buy players good enough to win points that would not have been won had creditors been given precedence.
So a title won on back of their insolvency before season end would be correct both in points and sporting terms by the winners acting in a financially fair manner to the other SPFL clubs including TRFC.
(Neil Warnock ws responsible for making the footballing benefits of insolvency case v Leicester, which saw a points penalty introduced in England and later Scotland.)
Now, still assuming their insolvency is a possibility: If they wait until this season is declared over then they start 15 points behind next season, almost guaranteeing 10air or at least they will not stop it. Not good for their ST sales if they emerge from administration to play next season.
One possibility aired on Twitter that has merit is current kerfuffle is to try and manufacture no points deduction at all on the back of UEFA relaxing their FFP, but UEFA have to be careful they don’t allow any clubs in Europe to avoid their payment to other club responsibilities on transfers using CoVid as a reasons .
The only way to put a bridle on TRFC and stop the damage they do to the game is to introduce domestic FFP and perhaps with Aberdeen, Hibs and Dundee Utd under foreign ownership there might be enough clubs with an appetite for it to make it happen – after mothballing.

Business has a tendency to become very socialist in outlook at times like these.
Taxpayers subsidising footballer salaries will not happen.
There is an argument to protect football of course but football first has to cut its cost base to the bone.
See Fat Sally has made a statement in response to Rod Stewart’s claim about the League.
Sally’s statement: you cannot give people titles titles have to be earned. So the Currant Buns playing out of Ibrox are playing for their 1st senior trophy
