What price Dundee game in US?

459
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

What price an SPFL game against Celtic in America? £2m? More? You can’t blame Dundee for being enterprising but I can’t see this initiative happening.

Celtic are the Great Gravy Train of Scottish football. We defy the status of our league to reach European Nirvana, which enriches us but also pays a healthy dividend to our supportive (cough) domestic competitors. The Caravan of Celtic arrives once or twice a year at each location, bringing paying fans and TV cameras. Therein lies the business model of many Scottish football clubs.

This is fair enough, but there are limits beyond which it’s inappropriate to spread the Gravy.

Don’t think I’m being sentimental here. Dundee can play their home games wherever they like as far as I’m concerned. They can move them to the US, in fact, if they convince the residents of Dingwall to do likewise, I’d have no problem with the ideal. Just so long as it’s consistent with a significant growth strategy for Celtic. The odd £1m here or there isn’t worth it for us otherwise.

    The Keirnan punch.

     

     

    There is mitigating evidence to indicate he may have been after a sly grope of the young St.Johnstone player’s baws but aimed too high.

     

     

    Did he play the ‘Buftie Hun’ card?

     

     

    Just like former Hun idol and subject of raucous ‘Camptown Races’ rendition… Damn forget his name…

     

     

    Must be this cold… Cough… Cough… Gough… Cough…

    They are not even trying to hide it now.

     

    If it had been reduced to one match ban most folk would have shrugged and said typical Blazers.

     

     

    However, next match just happens to be Motherwell in SC (albeit at Ipox).

     

     

    So, no margin of manoeuvre for the Blazers…

     

    … Not Proven – he can play v the Stealmen !?!

     

     

    Is there another association/federation in world fitba that allows the gray logic in their decisions? Doubt it very much.

  9. mike in toronto on

    JM … hi pal. things good here …. hoping to catch up with Torontony (sometimes of this parish) soon … hopefully, next week or so…. and then off to St. Lucia for a week in the sun. Cant wait!

     

     

    I know several of the old time hockey players (several friends and clients) …. most of whom are doing well, but some of whom had it tough after leaving hockey … they were not looked after very well … and my sense is that football players were probably treated even worse …. I know my uncle (former Killie player who was capped for Scotland) really struggled after leaving the game …

     

     

    I believe that Joe Miller has done/is doing some work in this area … but money is always tight, so I like the NHL idea …. puts aside funds to help out players who might need it, and might not otherwise get help when they need it.

     

     

    And while we tend to think of players making zillions, and a few do make ungodly amounts, most players make a lot less … and I think there will be a tsunami of head trauma issues in the future in football (and a lot of other sports) ….

    Trump has said he would attack Iran

     

     

    Michael Flynn has said he would attack Iran

     

     

    James Mattis has said he would attack Iran .

     

     

    Maybe they didn’t mean it, maybe they were just peddling bullshit to those with a predisposition for eating bullshit . . …

     

     

    *a wee bit of sanity on a mental Blog.

     

     

    Coming from a wee place that was known as “Little Moscow” and where more people per head of population, including a member of Mrs. TT’s family, left to volunteer in the International Brigades than anywhere else in the british isles, I’m an avowed and unashamed socialist and can understand why the Cambridge Five went down the road that they did but vlad the mad is more of a Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili than a Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels or Lev Davidovich, oh but the donald likes him !!!!!

     

     

    The trumpet squeaked his way into the White House with a very narrow win in which he got 46 per cent of the vote, won the states he needed to by less than a point, and lost the national popular vote, as voters told pollsters they had huge reservations about him.

     

     

    People set aside those reservations a little after he was elected but not so now when they have woken up and smelled the proverbial coffee. That is unless you’re on CQN and believe that he’s pro life and would never, never contemplate war even though he’s stacking his cabinet with hawks and soviet lovers.

     

     

    Don’t forget where I live and as the great P. F. Sloan said “If the button is pushed, there’s no runnin’ away”. Good chance the Diggers and Cave Dweller’s will be safe though.

     

     

    Oh and let’s NOT believe the intelligence groups let’s put (in) our trust in the newly formed MGB as wee vlad is a great guy. So was the punter that gave Eve the apple, 2nd most beautiful creature in the Heavens we were all taught.

     

     

    “The Devil’s greatest accomplishment was convincing the world he didn’t exist”.

     

     

    The feeling up here is that the trumpet won’t survive his 1st term and will then be replaced by the right wings favourite son and former member of the Tea Party caucus. Who incidentally will be only the 2nd ben affleck to hold the VP position and could in fact be only the 2nd to become Commander in Chief. And when this comes tae pass tae paraphrase Kate Smith “God Help America” and the rest of us.

    Sad to see Graham Taylor has passed away.

     

    Always struck me as a decent man and a good Manager.

     

    Hideously ridiculed by that bog roll of a newspaper, he emerged the bigger man for it.

     

     

    Welcome to Celtic to our new Ivorian!

    Finding other people with tongue cancer

     

    Lots of people say it helps to talk to others who know what they are going through. If you are seeing a specialist in head and neck cancer, ask them if they can put you in touch with any other patients. That way, they may be near by. But with rare cancers, it is hard to find people with the same condition. The Mouth Cancer Foundation website has an online support group that offers practical advice and support for people affected by cancers of the head and neck. Their website also provides information about tongue cancer.

     

    Check out Cancer Chat – Cancer Research UK’s discussion forum. It is a place for anyone affected by cancer to share experiences, stories and information with other people who know what you are going through.

    No Show Without Punch

     

     

    The response to a listener, who on hearing a story feels that they must interject with a similar comment, or an inference that they are also subjected to a similar environmental variable. Usually this will be more intense the original commentator. The meaning originates from the Punch and Judy shows which have their root in 16th-century Italian commedia dell’arte. The reference being that without the responder, the show cannot go on.

    Not amusing; Alzheimers Disease isn’t something to joke about. If in doubt, ask any family member of someone suffering from it.
