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!!

Mon the hoops
It is very weird- sun hitting the screen making both strips almost identical – certainly won’t hear any crap about both teams having white shorts in the future
Quonno an information channel. Or a direct way of trying to influence the Celtic support?
It saddens me greatly that Paul now avoids the controversial issues. Nothing about the season ticket pricing strategy etc etc. why? Because he is peddling the party line.
Our sports programmes are filled with ex Huns who defend indefensible refereeing decisions.
Off the balls contribution to the debate of fit and proper is to state that if the SFA say he is fit and proper then he is fit and proper and we should move on.
Celtic are party to all corruption (oops better be careful or Tom will accuse me of being mentally ill). Paul doesn’t want to discuss it, instead he evokes memories of Seville to encourage season book sales.
It really is all very very sad.
I see Celtic have extended their season book deadline cos error sales are going so well…………….yeah right.
Missed the first 10 minutes. Just saw a rerun of the penalty claim. I think the referee got it right. Never s deliberate hand ball.
Hibs can win this. If they get the first goal it will change the whole game.
Just wondering why BBC are showing this result as a result from the premiership. Did I miss the restructure?
Quonno and tell me how does asking a question equate with cutting of an imformation channel.
Are we not allowed to ask questions now?
Modern Scotland eh! Tsk.
The Eurovision song(?!) Contest?
Bring back Sandie Shaw(with Morrissey as backing vocalist??), and Abba I say!
HH!!
Neganon.
I am not disagreeing with you.
Just as we as shareholders are entitled to ask questions, PL is entitled to slant the answers to favour his DIRECT employers. IE DD.
As I have posted often in the past, as active members of the SFA, Celtic are accomplices in the perceived corruption.
givehimthemoneypetercsc – maybe because these are premiership playoff ties.

Why should a side with a history of flopping when the chips are down be any different today.
The BBC can call it whatever they like. Its not theirs, so it has no effect on what it actually is.
Hibs have no teeth.
new article posted.
weeminger-
Championship play offs are exactly that…(see boro v norwich)

Good Luck with the job hunting Curly.
As you say, a strange time to make the closure decision when the price of oil is rising again, after the post-referendum slump.
