I’m sure many of you will be aware of the Vanessa Riddle appeal which has featured in the comments page in recent weeks. Vanessa was diagnosed with a form of childhood cancer in 2009 but after extensive and difficult treatment received the all clear 17 months ago. Last month her parents received news that she had suffered a relapse and that no suitable treatment was available in the UK. Treatment is available in Philadelphia at a cost of £500,000.
Although the diagnosis is only a few weeks old the fundraising effort to send Vanessa to Philadelphia has already raised over £137k with increasing numbers of people becoming aware of the need on a daily basis (CQN’er, Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan is not a man to be denied).
To help raise awareness and funds, Taggsybhoy has booked Jury’s Inn, Glasgow, two nights next month, one of which, Saturday 11th February, he will hold a Music Quiz for the CQN community, with all proceeds going to the Vanessa Riddle Appeal. You may have heard mention of the appeal but if you have not caught the details take a moment to update yourself here. Getting involved is as part of your Celtic heritage as green and white hoops. Don’t forget to book for the quiz, there’s a limit of 70 people for the room so you can’t turn up unannounced. We’re home to the Highanders that day.

Seems as though Muslimovic’s agent was told last night that even if the player impressed during the week trial, they still couldn’t sign him until they shipped someone else out. His agent told him to pack his stuff at the 3* hotel that the Huns had put him up in, as they were offski in the morning
Huge embarrassment for Rangers. Those 12/1 odds on TFPLG leaving are very tempting

If you are a foreign footballer and stamp on an opponent= 4 game ban
If you are an Englishman and try to gouge an opponents eye= No ban.Move on Johnny Foreigner.Nothing to see here.

I don’t think this is the same as the huns case. Portsmouth failed to pay money by an agreed date.

Hello lads
Noticed that a few of you were chatting about banjoes, etc.., and hope you dont mind me nosing in …
Recently heard a bit from a local Glasgow band …. Julia and the Doogans … certainly not traditional folk music,
but lovely quiet banjo and guitar sound …
I dont know much about them, but think their music is lovely, so, just thought you might want to give it a listen …’Collide’ is quite lovely, I think…
Anyways, better get back to working/lurking

Huseklepp…
Portsmouth have been issued with a winding-up petition by HM Revenue and Customs over an unpaid £1.6m tax bill.
The club’s chief-executive David Lampitt told BBC Radio Solent on Saturday that Pompey had failed to meet their last two payments of £800,000.
Portsmouth are currently searching for new owners after their parent company, Convers Sport Initiatives (CSI), entered administration in November.
Italian businessman Joseph Cala pulled out of a deal to buy Pompey on Friday.
There is an urgency to complete a deal with fresh backers, as investment is needed if Portsmouth are to meet ongoing running costs.
“This period, while we search for a new owner, was always going to be difficult from a cash flow point of view,” Lampitt said on Saturday.
“The club does not have the funding that would have been there if our previous owner had been in place. It has been a difficult two months to balance the financial position of the football club.
“We are in a difficult position and will remain in a difficult position until the ownership is sorted.
“For the time being, it is a matter between us and HMRC and we have to manage that as best we can.”
CSI’s administrator Andrew Andronikou said on Friday that he hoped to finalise a deal to find a new owner within a week.
“The process of finding a new owner continues. We have got other interested parties, and we have had other interested parties all along,” said Andronikou.
BBC South understands that any purchaser would need to provide £12m as proof of funds, and assurances they could meet another £20m in repayments to former creditors, Balram Chainrai and Alexandre Gaydamak.

Just makes me think, any Newco that waddles like a duck, quacks like a duck must be a Hun Newco duck, therefore the Tax man will chase them for the debt. I mean if they wear light blue, play at Ipox, five fag burns, play the same music and have Rangers(sorry) in the name of Newco, the taxman will still cometh.

With regard to Portsmouth, I can’t say I have much sympathy for them either. I watched a Celtic You Tube video last week and in the comments section below a Portsmouth fan was telling everyone about how much Portsmouth’s fans hated Celtic.

I believe the same defence was used at the recent Tax Tribunal…
‘A Wisconsin man accused of assaulting his wife claims a ghost was behind the act.
The situation on Jan. 15 began with an argument between Michael F. West and his wife over the foreclosure of their house, according to a report by The Northwestern newspaper.
West tried to strangle the woman twice, then told her to call the police, the report said, but as she reached for the phone, he punched her repeatedly in the face, giving her a nosebleed.
When questioned by police, West first claimed his wife had gotten injured from a fall, then later said, “A ghost did it,” the newspaper reported.’
He has been charged and booked into jail.

Excuse that previous posting.
It was down to my ignorance of technology.
I was simply trying to point out that BI-LOCATION can not be too difficult.
Guys like Eddie Smith & Willie Collum seem to have NO difficulty in being in two different places at the same time.
On holiday in Lanzarote last year and looking at people in the restaurant and lounging around the pool, I would say 90% of them had a tattoo.
I really felt out of it but quite glad I did. Body graffiti is not my cup of tea but obviously it’s very popular these days. Each to their own.
The Portsmouth HMRC issue is not so much intresting for the amount involved, after all if the taxman is due his money he will get his money, it is still the most heinous of crimes, above all others, in Britain to default on paying taxes – kind of says it all about Britain when financial crimes are punished more heavily than a lot of other types, however I digress.
The wording used in this report http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16706372.stm is pretty clear from HMRC, does this set a precedent for the future way HMRC will enforce the law!

Are you trying to break it to me gently that I shouldn’t be expecting my contract in the mail?

St Drogo (patron saint of the couponly challenged, his shrine sells joiner’s nailbags on chains) is also the patron saint of coffee shops, ‘pundits’, flim-flam merchants, snake-oil salesmen, venture capitalists and goggle-eyed fuds. He had a trial at Rangers today but said, ‘….bugger this for a game of soldiers! I’ve got standards!’. He’s gone on trial at Liverpool.

After that trial decision, I had my ‘Jerry Maguire’ moment …. best day of my career, and she was the one I wanted to share it with, so hopped into the car, drove out to KW, banged on her door, and shamelessly pinched the dialogue from the film (you know the bit …. ‘best day of our career… but it didn’t mean a thing ….)!
