  1. I agree the Scottish football set up is skewed but it wasn't corruption that beat us at Tynecastle (twice) or lost a late goal at home to Hamilton.

  2. Then they owe the support an explanation They armed us for battle, letting it meekly slide away isn’t a good look on our board So give us the Transparency you promised and we will follow

  3. Could those who are asking the Club to go to Court say what it is they want the Court to do? I would like the court to dissolve celtic and distribute its assets among the poor and ordain Lennon and Lawwell to be thrown in the Clyde. I don’t think there are legal grounds for that unfortunately unless a clever bloke like Uilleam can dream them up.

  4. The 9IAR squad were all winners, and had a confidence in their own ability. We need a new captain ,but i really don't see a natural one at all in the current squad.

  5. Whilst that is clearly true, there are also a number of other incidents which cost us points that would have had this league much closer - likewise, there were games where there were incidents which in essence gifted Celtic additional points which would also have made this closer (Griffiths stamp at Accies which should have seen red when they were down 1-0.... he remained on the pitch ,he won the free kick which equalized and they went on to win). Yes, we have to handle our own business better - but with balanced officiating the league this year would have been much, much closer than it was when they gifted Celtic the title

  6. Misleading by Omission. This time last week, we were informed Ross County's Chair, Roy MacGregor, in his capacity as SPFL Board member; was meeting with Scottish Government Minister for Sport, Joe Fitzpatrick. The purpose of the meeting was to assess the readiness of Scottish football(and other sports) to restart. Joe Fitzpatrick laid out the various Government hurdles that must be overcome. Pretty innocuous stuff, then we find out a non SPFL Board member, Peter Lawwell is to accompany MacGregor to the conference. It's reminiscent of then SPL Chief Executive, Neil Doncaster being accompanied by Peter Lawwell on his trip to London to meet SKY TV officials in the immediate wake of Rangers being confined to Scottish football's lowest tier in 2012. After a photo of Neil and Peter sitting together on a shuttle flight being posted on social media, we found out Peter was a member of the SPL TV Rights Committee. We have never found out the other members of said Committee, we do not know if it ever met again, and no minutes of the Committee meetings have ever surfaced. Similarly, there was no report of Roy and Peters attendance, no report of contributions made. It appears a D Notice has been slapped on the pair's involvement because both print and broadcast media have deliberately refused to report, or ask any questions. The epitome of this fact was Saturday's BBC Radio Scotland's Saturday football coverage. The most petty and ill informed Off the Ball went out it's way to ignore it, and anything to do with football really. DrStu' wanted to talk about home schooling his son, Jack. After DrStu's family life and interests(mostly himself), the main filler during lockdown has been the 45 minute appearance of Professor Jason Leitch. The former Dentist is Scotland's National Clinical Director. DrStu' asks a few macro-political questions and sometimes Jason bites. Dominic Cummings, comparisons of competence between Westminster and Holyrood, and fawning over the First Minister's performance dominate. Tam asks submitted listeners' questions, none of them are about Care Home deaths or our pretty tired Health Minister being confused over casualty figures. In Jason Leitch's first line on Saturday, he gave a resume of his week past; including he had attended the Joe Fitzpatrick conference on getting sport in Scotland up and running. Two Journalists that have defended their live interview with Craig Whyte several weeks past, due to public interest. obsessed over the machinations of Jim Traynor, and constantly demanded transparency; ignored Leitch's revelation. Our(the listeners) opportunity to find out the why, what, and where of Peter's involvement was deliberately ignored and fudged over. The Establishment Duo mislead by omission. Another example of DrStu's array of convenient notional friends occurred, a question reference social distancing being ignored and stating the over crowding on Portobello beach photographs were the proof. Jason did not answer, DrStu' confirmed his photographer friends confirming all pictures were taken using wide angle lenses. Those folks crowding the sands were made to look closer than they actually were. Jason awarded the Scots public a ten out of ten for behavioural compliance. Yesterday, Peter publicly thanked Neil Doncaster for his application and securing a Sky deal for Scottish football ie the liability of ending the season early has been pushed on to every Scottish football supporter who wants to see live televised games being broadcast from behind closed doors. Peter awards BBC Scotland ten out of ten for behavioural compliance.

  7. Robertson seemed to suggest it's all over during the interview in the OP, craig.

  8. The thing that bugs me is the board issued a couple of statements which suggested they would seek other avenues if the SPFL and club votes didn't go our way. But they haven't. Hence my annoyance on another thread about numerous statements and the reference to 'all mouth and no trousers'. Don't make threats and then not follow through because now Lawwell and co know they're dealing with an opposition with no conviction.

  9. None of these things seemed to worry the 9iar squad though - and I'm sure we had to contend with dodgy refereeing decisions etc. then. We had also players like Stuart McCall who we don't quite have the equivalent of now. I don't think Keltic have better players than us man for man - but they definitely are more consistent. Anyone know - do we have an actual sports psychologist on the staff? Used to pooh-pooh them but I think their input is sorely needed now.

  10. Other than taking it to court there is little the club can do about the cabal unless supported by the requisite number of other member clubs.

  11. Agreed, not denying the fact we blew it and agree with what you are saying, just feel we will need a lot of luck and Separate Entity FC to drop a good few points, I don't see that happening. On Kamberi I would like to see him sign, good squad player

  12. While there is a lot of great news, I am still very disappointed in Rangers letting go of the corrupt voting fiasco! another missed opportunity to bring the corrupt cabal down IMO.

  13. David Low is the muppet who apparently has a financial management company but couldn't get his head round the simple possibility that the ICT BoD could delegate corporate governance matters i.e. casting their original vote, to their CEO. Absolute muppet. He never did respond to me on Twitter when I called him out about it...

  14. Football behind closed doors makes a mockery of the people's game and I wont be tuning in to watch this nonsense.
