  1. SPL ditch Setanta - 2009/10 matches WILL NOT be on Setanta - Setanta today notified the Scottish Premier League that it is unable to make the outstanding payment of £3 million to the SPL. Lex Gold, Executive Chairman of the SPL, said: “Setanta has been unable to meet our extended deadline for the outstanding £3 million payment to the SPL and, in terms of the notice previously issued, our British broadcasting rights for season 2009/10 and beyond revert to us. “We are now actively engaging in the process of selling our domestic broadcasting rights for next season and beyond."

  2. CELTC SH*TE NEWS – Celtc News, Not Lazy Journalism Celtic request split explanation Celtc Football Club has demanded an explanation for the “disgraceful, unjustified and bigoted” split that has just been announced. A spokesman stated: “therr is simply no rational explanation and it is so unferr, so it is.” The entire Celc community is up in arms and have convinced themselves, each other, and no-one else, that it is all a pyoor Masonic conspiracy. Peter Raffleyerself, spokesworm for the Greater Diaspora of Cltc Minded Sympathisers, burst into tears and sobbed uncontrollably: “The split is a monumental miscarriage of justice – to split up Anthea Turner and Grant Bovey and put them into difference teams in Hell’s Kitchen is not right, and someone is going to pay. So therr.” Unsporting Wing fans rush to Hawking’s bedside The green and white third of Glasgow are not slow on jumping on bandwagons. So it is no surprise that they have rallied around for the ailing Professor Stephen Hawking. “The Prof is one of our own” commented Poops fans’ chief, Reilly O’Seamus. “His mother once visited Cork for a long weekend, so he really is ‘of the Diaspora’, and dear to all our hearts, so we wish him well. Poops’ Chairwarlord, Sir John Dignity Reid KGB CNUT commented: “If the worst should happen between now and the 8th of May, everyone will be aware that the match against Rangers must, absolutely must, be called off. There is no way that Ra Poops can play a game of football when one of our very own has passed away. It has nothing to do with Broon0.9’s unavailability and everything to do with unsporting integrity. And if the good Prof survives, I’m calling on someone, anyone, everyone that’s ever drank a Bushmills to consider doing the honourable thing and laying down your life for Ra Poops. Because we’re sh*tting ourselves” Sellik comment on Post Split Sphincters Sellik Chief Executive, Pedro Liewell, has demanded to know which DOB at the SPL made up the split sphincters. Having borrowed an abacus from FD Eric O’Riley (aka Eric Riley when he lived his entire life as a staunch Bluenose), Liewell has worked out how the sphincters should have fallen: John Reid playing away with Dawn Primarolo Jim Torbett at home with Alan Brazil Jock Stein away with the physio’s wife Green Brigade refuse to apologise for likening Celtic to the IRA That bastion of upside down protest, ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ (not to be confused with any IRA grouping that uses the word ‘brigade’) unveiled their latest masterpiece (sic.) recently – a Banner painted to vaguely resemble a brick wall with the slogan “Ooh Aah up the Celts”. A gunslinging, bombthrowing spokesman for ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ stated that there was absolutely no connection between the banner and the oft-spouted-at-the-piggery slogan “Ooh Aah up the ‘Ra”. Any similarities are said to be pyoor coincidence and are more reflective of the mind of the reader than of the artist. “I mean”, he said, “Celts doesn’t even sound like ‘Ra”.
  3. Excellent post cov. Was that around the same time that the occupant of Chez-Daphne was trying to break into Chez-Dorothy ? To find Matt lying prostrate, cheeks asunder, would have been an unexpected, but delicious, bonus for Daphne. A Daphne, Matt and Dorothy ménage à trois - the fat yin, the fenian, and the fairy.
  4. Timmy Submarine (to the tune of a fairly well known Beatles song - they were a quite famous beat combo of the 60s) They all live in a country that they hate Why do Plastics wait In a country that they hate ? They all live in a country that they hate Why do Plastics wait In a country that they hate ? We all live in a country that we love Blessed from up above For a country that we love. We all live in a country that we love Blessed from up above For a country that we love. repeat ad infinitum ... Gets over the same point as another well known ditty, but we'd be untouchable on it. And they'd be apoplectic. Which is good.
  5. They (or at least some) were posted on Friday 22nd August.
  6. What day did you get your notice ? What day were they posted ? I think we should be told.
  7. Rules - who needs them, eh ?! Especially when they are only regulated by the poxy Financial Services Authority The meeting on Saturday has not been properly convened, although that is unlikely to be of concern to the commander in chief.
  8. Why did they break their own Rules by not giving proper notice of the meeting as prescribed by their constitution ? In any properly run organisation, the Secretary's head would roll for that. Mind you, he wouldn't be the only board member leaving this week.
  9. Are you talking about 'contacts' ? His fitness is more than questionable!!!!
  10. Oleg Kuznetsov against St Mirren in 1990. A pure masterclass - he absolutely strolled that game.
  11. What exactly would be "normal and sensible business practice" in your world ? What would you know about negotiating the sale of a PLC ? When was the last such sale "in your world" where you employed "normal and sensible business practice" ? Or did you just make that up ? :harhar: I know enough that I wouldn't have one of my senior executives waste 'months' negotiating with someone who I hadn't checked met my main criterion. But hey, maybe you know best. As you didn't answer any of my questions, perhaps you did just make up the post referring to "normal and sensible business practice" in your world. How much time did Donald Wilson actually spend on the deal ? How much information were the prospective buyers willing to divulge prior to the completion meeting ? Was SDM hoping to smoke out others by going along with the deal ? etc. You can't answer any of these questions yet you feel qualified to state that SDM didn't follow "normal and sensible business practice". As Tom English puts it: "all the big picture view of Mr Magoo".

  13. How time flies. Didn't realise you'd been out the game for 20 years.
  14. Still a long, long way to go but looks like Gazza is making some progress. Keep it going, genius. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sunday-mirror/2008...15875-20672187/
  15. Walter's aquisitions since he returned have put the wages bill up substantially. If you spend money on wages, you don't have that same money for transfer fees.
