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 reckon all that evening up we hear about will come into play today. So four red cards for The Rangers and five penalties for Hibs sounds good.
Could someone post the exact location to Peter Johnstone’s memorial stone, in know where glencraig is (Lochgelly), but don’t know where the colliery stood. Thanks in advance.

Hibs have run out of ideas already. They’ll lose one on the break before half time.

Wee beach bar jammed with Bangladeshis / Sri Lankans / Indians and Pakistanis watching England v New Zealand on an American tv channel.. Owner delighted -says he makes more money from showing the cricket than he does from showing the football.

Cheers, its certainly worth seeing. When I first heard of the proposal I thought it would be a small plaque in the corner of a field, however they have cordoned of a small corner of the field, which was where Glencraig colliery stood which Peter worked in. There are seats, lovely plants, beautiful monument on a brick plinth with individual bricks purchased with dedications on them and a couple of story boards about peters life in Glencraig and with Celtic

sounds like it was well thought out and not just a plaque on a wall to be overlooked
Hail Hail

Gentlemen. Shouldn’t we ask which way PL voted regarding the glib and shameless liar? Would t that be somewhat revealing?
As I posted the other night. He might have sat on the fence.

Its in a corner of a field at the side of the main road from Glencraig to Lochgelly the field is where the Colliery once stood. If you know the area its on the opposite side of the road from Ballingry Rovers park.

sad news but unfortunately very common :-((

Hope the job situation works out for you Curly. Redundancy is a difficult time to go through.
Surely you did not expect Hibs to do anything today.
As someone wrote of them about a years ago, the are a club with a soft centre.
Already the headlines are being written about how a leg weary THEM bravely battled into the top division.
foul count ran 9 hibs 0.says it all really.celtic aberdeen and even caley thistle have nothing to fear from them.
That Mulunga is a poor finisher is he no?
Quonno. Shouldn’t we be told?

He’s just poor.
New Zealand now have a first innings lead with 7 wickets standing . Bangladeshis etc not happy .. Complicated politics means they support England rather than New Zealand .It’s a strange world.
Cheers Celtic dawn, will visit soon. Frantic07.

As shareholders, perhaps.
However, if we don’t ask or have someone like Paul ask, we will never be told.

Hibs are mince
And not even of the prime steak variety.
“Hibs roar for a penalty as the ball appears to hit Dean Shiels’s arm inside the box but referee John Beaton is having none of it.”
“Richard Forster dances down the right and whips over a cross with Hibs appealing unsuccessfully for a foul on Lewis Stevenson.”
But things even out …
“Rangers boss Stuart McCall, crimson-cheeked under the blazing Easter Road sun, is far from happy over a throw-in awarded to Hibs “
Hibs are better footballing team
Quonno do you think Paul would ask and do you think we would be told the answer?
curly , sorry pal, companies always wan’t more profit,
hope all your mates can find employment soon.
Good Luck to all concerned

Hibs dire….sevco fans stuck in a timewarp.

Only Paul can answer that.
My feeling is that he would be reluctant to cut off a information channel.
Just caught the Easter Rd game on a screen- both teams with white shorts, solid colour shirts and solid colour socks – strips look identical in certain light- thought this couldn’t happen given the number if times we have to change the Hoops
‘What a great player Malnga is’..said absolutely no one
McCall’s 5-4-1 working.
Scott Allan head and shoulders above the other 21 on the pitch.

I was just thinking the same thing
anyone expecting a hibs victory margin to get through is very mistaken mibs will not allow it surely we know that.

My first memories of the Eurovisian Song Contest are Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson with “Sing, Little Birdie” which finished 2nd, and the following year the latter’s brother Bryan Johnson with “Looking High, High, High” which also finished 2nd.
It wasn’t until that wonderful year of 1967 that the UK entry by the delectable Sandy Shaw came 1st with “Puppet on a String”.
My favourite memory of said competition was waiting in a line up on a Sunday morning outside CP for Leeds tickets and hearing pretty wee Dana on someone’s trannie singing the previous nights winner “All Kinds of Everything”.
Had my picture in the next day’s Record tae.
