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.
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!!

I suspect that John Guidetti will turn into another Pierre van Hooijdonk;
A new club and payday every other season.
Then popping up in the press every so often saying how much he loved his time at Celtic, no doubt mainly being defined as a former Celtic player when he hangs up his boots.
Good luck to our scouts and Ronny on bringing in a striker who wants to be here and is good enough to score the match winning goals v the likes of Legia Warsaw, Malmo etc in the CL qualifiers. That’s the focus now, not Guidetti.
I have great memories of my first Eurovision Song Contest.
It was 1961 and a duo of brothers called The Allisons crooned “Are You Sure” to second place.
In actual fact, they weren’t real brothers. It was a marketing ploy.
Oh how I cried when they didn’t win. Second is first last, said my old granny, although she was younger then than I am now.
Shit I’m old.
Eurovision?
1974

‘The Scottish FA were last night facing fresh questions over the process which ended in Dave King being granted fit-and-proper status.
LOL’
Did PL vote in King’s F&PP decision? If he abstained, did CO?

The Allisons ?
Remember a Whatever happened to — – ? TV doc which featured( amongst other one hit wonders ) one of The Allisons ? – the answer was – a” militant Naturist” who earned a living performing buck naked on the French Naturist scene.Wonder where he kept his plectrum ?
Morrissey, he’s promised me a mega fry-up at 12:00, as if I’m not portly enough :-)
After Australia’s appearance in Eurovision tonight, we can all look forward to Sevconia’s entry next year.
JUSTAFAN
I can recommend THE HONEST MISTAKE’s choice. They even let women in!
If you would like his phone number,mail me at

South of Tunis
I remember that series. Last one I watched was in the year 1402 or thereabouts. (I’m getting on a bit) Anyhow it featured a chap called Tamerlane. Massacred entire populations and even built towers from the skulls of his victims.
I only refer to him because there was a link to Scotland. Yes, indeed, Scotland. Naturally work was hard to find given his history, but he came to Scotland and 3 weeks after arriving he passed the SFA fit and proper person test.
He did very well here:-)

Hahahah, nice doctors spin, can you show me where I told you to FO, I didn’t you took in personnel, nice try..

After Australia’s appearance in Eurovision tonight, we can all look forward to Sevconia’s entry next year.
It’s a great song they’ve got, the land of make believe. A winner if ever I heard one. :-)
My tip for the Eurovision tonight is
Drum roll………
Spain at 66/1. The fact that they are represented by the rather attractive partner of Man U keeper David de Gea has not influenced my decision in any way whatsoever.
1/4 the odds 1234.
This was an ad on by you saying I was saying it to you, no I didn’t, that line was for all who had negativity yesterday, nice try but.
Dong! 16:03 on22 – “do us all a favour for this weekend just FO and let us party and enjoy our selfs”
Anyway, I’m partying this weekend, so you do what you do best, me? I’m supporting Celtic,.
So, the PGB voted on murray, but weren’t allowed to vote on the king decision …. UNADULTERATED CORRUPTION ………although PL WASN’t allowed to vote , being a non-exec director at the SFA, why didn’t he go public on this before the vote take place ? ……why did he leave it to the PGB members who were denied the vote to complain about the corrupt decision to exclude them ?…… and what happens now.?…ridiculous….
To all those who think we are paranoid……this is what we are up against…..
twists and turns.
Tamerlane had a currywurst take away in San Francisco.Mighty fine it was too.
I was wondering when PL was going to get the blame of GASL being a FAPP, only a matter of time right?
Seems the SFA adopted a different approach to the King decision than the one taken re Murray. But what would the advantage to taking the matter to one committee rather than another? What is the difference in membership – and did they believe that the Professional Game Board might have asked some difficult questions?

It doesent matter how or why the did it, at the end of the day, it is all Peter Lawwells fault, of that we will be left in no doubt by some in here.
I was listening to Radio 5 through the wee. The Finnish eurovision entry was a by a punk band, three of whom have learning difficulties.
One of the band members was interviewed. He spoke better English than some natural English speakers. They were performing in the Eurovision semis according to the report, let’s hope Steven McLean wasn’t one of the judges.
Big day tomorrow for us, let’s celebrate in style and hopefully, the stadium does the Broonie on the eigth minute of the game to show our appreciation of our Captain and the great season he has had.
South of Tunis ….9.23…
That moment must have blown your mind …….just a little !!!…..thinking of the girls costumes as much as the song …..

I don’t see anyone singling out Peter Lawwell on Glib and Shameless being waved through. I’d be very interested in Rod Petrie’s approach on this especially given the timing of the decision being set up to boost Orc morale in the playoffs.
A bit more transparency from all SFA board members including Mr Lawwell on this, rather than selective briefings being issued to Daily Mail journalists, would be helpful.
Let the fans understand how and why the decision was arrived at, who if anyone spoke against it, and who was in favour of it and why.
I know of Aberdeen, Partick and Hibs fans who are as sick as we are of Scottish football bending to suit Sevco and are ready to chuck it.
It’d be good to know whether Ogilvie, Doncaster and Reagan are really at it for their own reasons or whether they are useful idiots doing what all clubs (or at least most of them) want in pursuit of the bigot pound.

Here’s your music, sad to say I remember it too, catchy wee tune, lol.

Oh of course you won’t see it right now, but stick around, you will, most prob. From the moon howlers, any way, I’m partying this weekend, championees.
Whens the first qualifer for group stages ?
Not abit early for ronnie predicting no new players before then ? Not good sign
Nearly sure as soon as we clinched league weeks ago he said he was already preparing for it.
I wish the party bimbos would leave the cynics to do what they do best.
Go party and don’t worry your empty little heads
Proudbhoy
When does the transfer window open ?
Gooood Morning Celtic, you’ll all be up 4 a party themorra :-)
Be in no doubt how we will party, then again, a cynic would.
As that is what they do best.
Another thing to celebrate
After having given a months notice, thats the SKY sports etc gone today
Will be at Celtic Park tomorrow anyway :-) 4 the paty
paty = had been p4rty, blame that spell check, and not my education :-) or even English grammar and spelling
Eurovision song contest.
Fixed.
Franco ,apparently, bought a win for the Spanish entrant ,which ensured that Cliff`s “Congratulations” did not win.
And the Spanish winner was……………
Quien sabe?
Party time woooooo hooooooooo

Of that I have no doubt, just as well he won the league, and the league cup eh :))
Wouldnt PL abstain from voting on hun matters?
Bloody toy soldiers out and about in EK this morning, ffs its only may and the “march of the uglies ” has started.
Got held up a bit by them at the priestknowe roundabout o the irony of it all, however smooth radio decided at that point to play Bob Marleys Jamming, never really knew how good that song was at full blast until this morning.
H.H. on this trophy collecting weekend.
