World class deficit of self-awareness

1194

The word of the day is anosognosia, def. a deficit of self-awareness.

While discussing his Fit and Proper examination by the SFA, Dave King told the media that “If the level of detail that was applied to me was applied to Craig Whyte then he would never have taken over the club.  The club would have had a chance.”

It was Dave King’s job to examine Craig Whyte’s Fit and Proper status, not the SFAs!!!  Dave King was on the board which approved Whyte’s takeover.  The SFA were not and should not have been involved in determining the suitability of Whyte’s appointment, which was the exclusive responsibility of the Rangers board.

The SFA subsequently sanctioned the club for failing to carry out its duty in this respect.

Let’s look at that quote again and allocate responsibility:

“If the level of detail that was applied to me was applied to Craig Whyte [by me, when it was my job to do so]then he would never have taken over the club.  The club would have had a chance.”

There is no Fit and Proper test.  Criteria are published to allow clubs to determine the suitability of appointments.  Whyte did not meet the suitability required.  If anyone on the Rangers board had taken the trouble to check Whyte’s credentials (which they had a fiduciary and SFA obligation to do so), and informed the SFA of their findings, Craig Whyte would have been stopped in his tracks.

A note to my friends in the media:

Guys, ignoring stuff like this is why people said you were compliant with Whyte, Green and Murray.  Don’t come back a year from now and say you didn’t know.

Dave King is a gift.  You know what he’s going to do, you know how this ends.

Walk for Tony

As most of you will know, RWE lost his son, Tony Conway, earlier this year to MND.  12 of Tony’s friends are walking 100km tomorrow and Sunday, from London to Brighton.  If any CQN’ers are local, they’re looking for moral support more than money, so here’s the route they’re taking.  They start on Twickenham Road at 9:40 tomorrow morning, hoping to reach Brighton around 7:00 on Sunday.

Tony appears to have inspired a lot of people, which is a none too shabby legacy.

It’s season ticket Deadline Day!!

    hamiltontim,

     

     

    Keep going, the Act is unfair and you are right to challenge it.

     

     

    What do you think it should be replaced by?

     

     

    How do we confront sectarianism/prejudice in Scotland?

     

     

    What should the politicians do if the Act is repealed?

     

     

    I don’t mean to put you on any kind of a spot…I am only trying to think of the long term.

  4. Big Roy had a bit of skill with his physique, especially when he was going forward in stride.

     

     

    The olde comment is Defenders hate attackers running at them, Big Roy running at them must have been defcon level 4 at least.

     

     

    When we were not doing anything much early doors, I lamented about Virgil and even Jason going forward all the way up to the number 10 position….

    Thanks for the tip.

     

    This Royal Navy whistleblower has confirmed what fellow CND members have been telling me for years.

     

    Keep Faslane Beautiful.

     

    Stick your fecking Trident up the Thames.

    A boring fart who goes by the handle something like ‘Toadily Horizontally’ told me yesterday that I should ‘F’ Off. He is known for his inability to grasp simple concepts partly due to his drinking problem.

     

    He’s the kind of guy that is unaware of the difference between ‘here’ and ‘hear’ and who thinks ourselves is two words spelt with an ‘f’, yet can help himself in demanding his narrow small-minded view is right.

     

    Not so much CB radio rental as poor sod mental.

  13. Oh Ronny Deila.

     

     

    Ronny Deila.

     

     

    Oh Ronny Deila, Ronny Ronny Ronny Ronny Deila.

     

     

    Big respect for Celtic getting the best possible in the Dugout…..

     

     

    Those Pesky Supporters, urnae happy at all, at all.

     

     

    The removal of the symbology from the Sandy Lane SpeedBoats was very telling, to those that don’t know a thing.

     

     

    To this absolute Nutter anyway.

     

     

    A lot of people are very comfortable being a sheep, sorry about that, I’m really sorry about that.

     

     

    I’m a big fan of Ronny Deila, the Celtic Board Must start Supporting/Defending Celtic Supporters at the smallest level, I’m thinking about things and thinking it is very late, or they will be gone.

    What is socialist?

     

    I am me. Politics is a con.

     

    Democracy is a lie.

     

    Ever get the feeling you’ve been conned?

  16. DD-there’s a wind of change just now.

    Margaret McGill @ 02:18 spoke of brothers many.

     

    Wine and women song a plenty.

     

    He began to write a chapter

     

    In history.

     

    Nice ‘n’ sleazy.

  18. Geordie Munro on

    Morrissey,

     

     

    The guy you refer to rarely posts at this hour.

     

     

    But I think you knew that.

  19. Maggie

     

     

    I promise you it’s not the moral high ground. It’s simply something that I feel passionately about because I witness it constantly. I will never understand why any Celtic supporter wouldn’t sign it.

     

     

    Morrisey

     

     

    Why did you have a picture of yourself with Peter Lawell on your Twitter feed if you’re so against him?

     

     

    I spoke to him on Monday night on my own. I genuinely appreciate the time he gave me but I don’t think he gave a shite about what I said. The last thing I’d want is a photo with him.

     

     

    Off to sleep now but always a real Rebel.
