Weepy incompetent Newco, belligerent Hearts, be Good to each other

808

The SFA’s statement last night clarifies the immediate future of the game, or lack thereof.  No training will be permitted until at least the 10 June and the professional game can start 6 weeks after training.  Without the lockdown being extended, the earliest behind closed doors football game can take place on 22 July.

It would be possible to complete the Premiership by 19 August.  Today’s proposal by the SPFL keeps this option on the table.

The new league season would need to start immediately thereafter, games would almost certainly be played behind closed doors and Uefa would need to delay the start of Champions and Europa League qualification competitions until the last week in August.  I think this is unlikely, but it remains possible.

I understand that Hearts, four points adrift at the bottom, are lashing out in every direction, but they would be better advised to try to win support for league reconstruction than go down the belligerent route.  Maybe Ann Budge should have retained the bonus scheme and avoided all this stress.

Newco’s anger is a pale shadow of what we saw during the Traynor statement years.  It’s all a bit limp for my palette. I like my Newco statements frothing with anger, typed while standing in fermenting urine-soaked shoes with flute music blaring in the background.  Don’t judge me.

Today’s “legal advisor did not deem our Members Resolution as competent” is so weepy all I feel is pity.

This afternoon’s SPFL vote can change only details for Celtic.  The real battle was to make this season Null and Void and our incompetent friends across the city were chased out of town for that suggestion.  Celtic will be champions; nine-in-a-row is ours, whether achieved on the field or after Uefa issue advice to national associations.

It’s also interesting to watch the paranoia triggers.  Our own sufferers’ gas will be at a peep for a while, whereas Newco’s conspiracy theorists were born for these times.  Do not be like any of them, just because the tide goes against you, doesn’t mean The Man is out to get you!  You’re just a little anxious.

I know this is a Terrible Good Friday, but be Good to each other today – and stay indoors all weekend.

    Your as pish at the wind up as our resident immigrant cut and paster from Oz.

     

     

    Why you blaming the Chinese ?

     

    Disease has jumped species since man has eaten meat.

     

    There is no cure.

     

     

    Lazy lazy trumpian shite.

     

    Are the Chinese to blame for a shortage of beds in NY?

     

    Are the Chinese to blame for Boris and his ideologues being ten thousand ventilators short?

     

    Are the Chinese to blame for uks testing programme to not make sense

     

    Are the Chinese to blame for the colossal shortages of protective clothing for our frontline staff?

     

    Are the Chinese to blame for the chronic shortage of icu beds?

  6. I see many discussions about should Celtic be declared champions with 8 League games left and backed up by percentages I.e. BBC 98% chance of Celtic being champions. I’m not looking at percentages but at hard facts. So far this season Celtic have played 36 games in league and cups losing 2. YES played 36 and lost only 2 but some people are implying we could lose 4 out of 8 League games! Grasping at straws comes to mind.

     

    Not completely checked the figures but I believe the Currant Buns won 5 titles during the EBT years and are entitled to wear 5 Asterisks on their Primark s jerseys

     

    Stay safe & HH

  7. FAO DAVID66 and others obviously…

     

     

    So you and your Bhoy made a Mud “KITCHEN” yesterday ?

     

     

    I cant do the youtube link but here a couple of songs you could have played while building “Kitchen”

     

    LOL.

     

     

    From 1980 ……Always in the Kitchen at parties…by Jona Lewie.

     

    OR

     

    If you had invited Mo Johnston to your wee “party” ?…….theres a RAT in the Kitchen by UB40 ?

     

    LOL.

     

    Cheers mate…hope you and the family are well.

     

    HH

  8. DAVID66…

     

    IF you play the Youtube ling to the Jona Lewie song ” Im always in the kitchen at parties”…there is a video of him on top of The Pops….he has Two Girls as backing singers….the one in the Yellow Dress is a very young (21 year old), the late great Kirsty MacColl who was taken far to soon in 2000.

     

    Kirsty RIP

     

    HH Mate.

  9. I have 3 Season Tickets ready to renew……apart from extending renewal to late May, what other initiatives have the club offered to entice renewal??

  10. Silver City 1888 on

    If Dundee’s vote is in the post, isn’t there the chance that it will show up Tuesday morning?

  11. Good morning CQN from a dry but grey skied Garngad

     

     

    Happy Easter Sunday to you all and may peace be upon you.🙏

     

     

    Big Jimmy – I love they 2 songs and constantly sing them about the house😂 much to the wife’s dissatisfaction. Unfortunately I had to listen to what was on young D’s phone but I must say there was some Johnny Cash and Country as well as some rapping pish right enough😂.

     

     

    D. :)

    The incentive of being there for 10IAR will be enough for most to re purchase

     

     

    Although I agree in these times a deferred payment option should be offered ( I know some currently pay by DD over 3 or 4 payments)

     

     

    At least the credit card won’t be getting battered for holidays this year

    “I have 3 Season Tickets ready to renew……apart from extending renewal to late May, what other initiatives have the club offered to entice renewal??”

     

     

    15,000 waiting list, to Celtic PLC, is an initative por cierto

  14. I’ve already purchased my ticket for next season. This is my first campaign as a Senior Concession and couldn’t believe what I was saving, so bought quickly in case they changed their mind! :)) por cierto

    ………..

     

    A Happy and far from usual Easter Sunday to you and the family.

     

     

    I am not a big fan of country and western music …but…..

     

     

    What do you get when you play a Country and Western song…BACKWARDS ?

     

    You get your hoose back,

     

    You get you wife back,

     

    You get your Dog back !

     

    LOL

     

    HH mate.

  16. Good morning on this bright Easter Morn’ from a beautifully sunny Forres.

     

    Q. Why are the SPFL still using Fax as a method of communication? Surely scan and email is more traceable if there is a failed receipt? I can’t remember the last time I faxed anything to do with business.

     

    Anyhoos it is being reported that the huns are refusing to hand over ‘evidence’ until an independent investigation is set up.

     

    Playing to the hun galleries as usual.

  17. B/Tim…hope all is well with you & your family…… it’s the uncertainty that’s concerning……plus, not that it impacts any financial hardships on me, but what about others that are effected. Would it not have been a reasonable jesture to accept that due to the current circumstances, a deposit would be acceptable, thereby reserving your ST until such time as a resolution was in place and supporters could see what they were buying into and act accordingly.

     

     

    I have a holiday booked for September, just waiting for suitably priced flights to avail themselves.

  18. Happy Easter to all.

     

     

    I could do with a little help on a geneology quest. Which parish does Tradeston fall in to ?

     

     

    Thanksin advance.

    .

     

    Happy Easter to you BT and the family….an unusual Easter to say the least.

     

    This is now my 24th day of self isolation, and obviously it aint easy, but I am used to living alone, my heart goes out to Folk with families etc.

     

     

     

    Stay Safe mate.

  20. I watched the movie ” the Greatest Story Ever Told ” from 1965 once again on TV yesterday.

     

    I remember going to the “Pictures/Flicks” in the Odeon Picture Hall in Scotstoun, and I would be going on 10 years of age, and i was only in Scotstoun for a day or two as my Dad lived there.

     

    Immediately after The Cruxification and its pouring with rain..it cuts to a scene with a Roman Soldier standing alone in the rain and mud…and he says…” Truly this Man was the Son of God”.

     

     

    That Roman Soldier was John Wayne !

     

    Surely one of the worst pieces of “casting” ever by Hollywood ?

     

    LOL

     

    I also remember a John Wayne movie in which he played a Mongolian Warlord…I cant recall the name of it, but it was a terrible movie.

    100% agree . Fortunately I’m working from home on full pay so renewing isn’t a problem but self employed , zero hours etc are having to prioritise . My holiday was booked for start of October .
