18 October has been in the diary for a while. Today is the day teams in European competition have to submit their accounts for last season to Uefa. If you are in European competition, your accounts must be ready to publish. If they are ready and you have not published them, why?
Celtic’s accounts were published a month ago; Celtic have nothing to worry about or hide. Newco have yet to let their fans know what the figures look like. They will eventually be published, of course, when we will gain an insight into why they were unable to spend in the transfer market after qualifying for the Champions League.
I also expect to see the resolution of their dispute with Sports Direct International. At the lower end, this could be a charge in the region of £2m, but at the punitive end, it could be as high as £8m. It will also be interesting to read whether they could afford to settle this debt outright or had to commit to a long-term payment plan. Knowing what a slick operation Newco are, I expect a punitive settlement that overreaches their immediate resources and a decade long mortage-type payment.
As in politics, money eventually outs you in football. When we read club accounts we cannot get the thrill we get from a match result, but the consequences are far greater.
There is something incredibly endearing about Frank McGarvey. He is out there, facing the illness no one likes talking about, without awkwardness or hushed tones. Everyone has to find their own way to deal with illness, we are not all like Frank, but again, facing this hurdle, he has given us an example to admire.

Interesting tactical insight on Angeball from a tweet by Jobos boy

Changes at a minimum tomorrow for me,tried that v St Mirren…..
Surprised we are being told who the VAR MIBs are….
McLean on VAR after last weekend the fix is in
Guinness, one of the only things that goes in liquid and comes out solid >:)
Anyways, the pasteurization thing I honestly don’t know about, mate works in the St James brewery and I recall him telling me about how they made syrup to send abroad, then it was watered down.

Interesting tactical insight on Angeball from a tweet by Jobos boy
that is brilliantly insightful on just one tactical element that they obviously pracitsed all the time, and know, sometime we will get the space, and opportunity to make it work. straight from a kick off, cos we lost a goal.
that is did on that occasion for me, was one of the great goals i have ever seen.
we talked few weeks ago, runs that players make, that we see from on high, but they dont get the ball, i said, but the important thing is to keep making the runs, the ball will come sometime, and the chance will be made.
ange says it perfect there, sprint sprint sprint,
all that grining of teef since st mirren game, i dont believe we really got that bad, we are playing really good football teams, and yet they couldnt stop us creating changes, all those fine margins, shots off posts and bar, deflections past by inches, headers taken over the bar, all that stuff, i feel we will motor again, a few more real drubbings to come,
i would have loved to have played for ange, a manager that tells you run about to your exhausted and begging to come off, (excpet they dont).
marvellous clip that.
Guinness lowers bad cholesterol. Fiber is really good for you. The soluble fiber in Guinness can help reduce LDL (aka “bad” cholesterol) – plus it has a variety of other health benefits like promoting healthy blood sugar and blood cholesterol levels.
Guinness facts csc
I must admit normally guiness has never been
To my taste although on the few occasions I try it like St.Patrick’s Day it does start to taste better after the first 5 or 6 pints
Wonder if that’s acquiring the taste or starting to get half pissed
If only the SFA could operate with such clarity and transparency

VAR coming to Scotland.
This kind of analysis of VAR decisions should be posted every Monday on You Tube like they do in MLS.
It’s transparent, educational and easily accessible.

I don’t believe we practice early attacks at Lennoxtown pre-game.
We have been well informed that nothing gets practised at Lennoxton- no throw-ins, no corners, no passing & no shooting. It’s just a glee club.😀

He got a concise, straight, unequivocal, truthful answer to the question he asked.
Turkeybhoy He got double-down denial with an answer which was economical with the truth
Andrew e-mail evidence exists that inextricably links you and with this alter ego you use on CQN
Why do you persist in this nonsense as if you are a character in a John le Carré novel where you behave on CQN as if to reveal your true identity would be a breach of national security, its laughable risible nonsense
BTW, What do you prefer Andrew or Andy ? asking for my alter ego

I fear you may have issues, and are either receiving, or are in need of, specialist help.
So let me try to help you with this delusional belief that you appear to have, if only to the extent of disproving it.
You seem to think that I’m a journalist employed or commissioned by he Hootsmaun.
So what I suggest you do is contact the editor of that paper and tell him of your belief.
The stuff I’ve posted on here over the years about the huns, and a number of any subjects, would get any journalist sacked.
So on you go. Be my guest.
And don’t forget to let us know how you get on.
Lennon sacked
No Offence to anyone but dark drinks scare me – Fussy?
Nah – I had a terrible experience with Newcastle Brown Ale.
At least Vodka is Abdul Quadir.

This is an unacceptable level of personal abuse and insult around Mental health, recently we have all seen a poster that reached out on this site, and some excellent CQNrs assisted the poster, CQN at its best
To use mental health as a means of insult in such a cowardly fashion is unacceptable
please delete this post with a ban

I loved Naka, in general its always those sort of players that I love the most.
Naka and Lubo both geniuses that we probably never knew quite what we were getting until after they arrived.
I hope he enjoys his retirement.
Maybe he could scout the Japanese market for Ange?
Early doors yet but I have high hopes for Haksabanovic to turn into a real match winner for us.
Maybe not as talented as though two but lets hope he continues to improve.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Correct – Naka and Lubo were amongst the best players ever to wear the Hoops.
I also agree that Haksbanovic looks like a real talent.

Suggesting that someone who is exhibiting delusional behaviour is unwell and should receive help is not using mental health as an insult.
Your behaviour is odd. It is not normal. It is not healthy.
You genuinely should seek help.
It is OK to not be OK. But you should seek help.

I’m not trying to get a rise. I’m not baiting.
You are entertaining delusional beliefs.
You have convinced yourself that something which is demonstrably untrue is a fact.
It is a sad state of affairs but help should be available if you if you ask for it.
The first thing I suppose is to clarify in your own mind that your belief has no basis in reality.
I’ve suggested how you can do that.
Just to help you, these are the contact details for the editor of the Hootsmaun.

Best of luck.
Having a brother who suffers from mental health issues means I object strongly to it being used to mock and abuse other people.
Poor – very poor.
Oh well good while it lasted.

Announcement of Saturday VAR ref confirms my fears.
Not quite Davidson, Gordon or Wharton but one of the modern day equivalents.
No prizes for guessing who will do well out of VAR and who will suffer.
Masons in the box right enough.
Sorry to hear about Lennon losing his job.
Not sorry that Stevie G lost his

BOURNESOUPRECIPE on 18TH OCTOBER 2022 6:03 PM
Steven McLean the VAR referee at Tynecastle Nick Walsh referee
BOURNE, THAT Stephen McLean had the clearest of clear views of a deliberate, goal-prevention hand ball in the Scottish Cup semi final against Inverness, when we were already leading 1 – 0. Instead of the obvious penalty and red card he chose to interpret the handball as ‘not’ a handball. IF he was using VAR would he get a clearer view?
I’ve counselled consistently that I don’t think VAR will necessarily be helpful to us (as it absolutely should be, given the repetitive strange decisions we suffer from) – the arbiters we see week in, week out, with their one-sided, jaundiced view of assaults on our players, will be the same cohort that will sit in the dark room making decisions that will influence games in favour of their favourite team.
I genuinely hope that at some time in the future someone will come on here and point out the fallacy of my viewpoint and that I was worrying unnecessarily. But, I doubt it.
Evening all.

A Guinness only has 15 more calories than a Bud Light and 5 more calories than the same amount of skim milk. Plus, you’re going to feel a lot fuller after a Guinness than a Bud Light (thanks to the CO2 and Nitrogen carbonation that leads to its thick, creamy texture), saving yourself from the extra food calories later.
There you have it.

I have a consultation with my Liver doc soon and I’m going to use your post (if you don’t mind) to show the benefit of drinking copious amounts of the ‘Black Stuff’
However I am going to deny being in the company of the legend BRRB and the Ant Hill Mob aka ‘The Shipbank Shipwrecks.

Fan groups all over Europe will be watching with interest the outcome of this case
A small group of Barcelona fans have quietly begun a process that could bring about seismic change in European football, after they went to court over the transfer of Lionel Messi to Paris Saint-Germain.
On Tuesday lawyers appeared before a senior judge at the European court of justice to argue that Messi’s move from Catalonia to Paris broke European laws on state aid, and call for the European Commission to investigate the transfer.

The session in Luxembourg lasted three hours in front of Judge Marc Jaeger, a former president of the court. The hearing was effectively an appeal, after an original claim against the European Commission was rejected. A verdict is expected within two months.
Messi joined PSG last summer in perhaps the most high-profile transfer of modern times. The eight-times Ballon d’Or winner left on a free transfer and agreed a contract reported to be worth £94m over three years. Last month Uefa found PSG to have been in breach of its financial fair play (FFP) regulations during this time and demanded €65m by way of financial settlement.
