Very unfair to Bob Kelly. He faced down the bigoted bastards over the flag issue in 1952, when they tried to push us out of Scottish football unless we capitulated. Having won that battle, he waited a few years and then nailed Sir George Graham on a ticket scam in much the way that Fergus nailed Farry. Exclude Bob Kelly, who had his faults admittedly, from the calumny deservedly heaped on the Kelly trough snouts who followed him.
I was thinking of the time just before the takeover i.e. the proposed Cambuslang move, his opinion that Celtic fans should invest in the lottery instead of buying shares as they had a better chance of a return from the lottery and the failure to at least try to compete with the huns. I do, however, salute Bob Kelly at the time of the tricolour issue for taking on the SFA :thumbsup:

I think you might be confusing Bob Kelly (Sir Robert) with Kevin Kelly, his nephew. Bob Kelly died in 1971, about 21 years before the Cambuslang proposal. I never heard about the lottery quote so I can't comment on who said that.

The Rangers row threatening to drown out all else in Scottish football

A silent majority no longer care about the Rangers affair but dare to suggest this topic has little relevance in 2017 and you are accused of being part of the problem

We've got Regan on the news being interviewed without being challenged on his lies then we've got him in the newspaper holding a Q&A session trying to blame it all on us.

Have any of these news agencies attempted to interview Peter Lawwell or anyone else from Celtic to get our side to add a bit of balance? :ponder:

Balance is something journalists employ .

Why would you expect that in the sports media in Scotland ?

People on here need to make a distinction between the people who own/ run football clubs and their supporters!
The money behind Hibs, Farts and the Dons, all owe huge debts to the same money people in Edinburgh that backed Minty.
That is a much bigger story than the football. That's why they are shampoo scared of anything that remotely resembles any sort of scrutiny!
Minty was a nobody till he was given the money to buy the deid Huns. He was not the only one who benefited from the Edinburgh based banks' largesse :angry:
Farmer, Kennedy, Grossart and no doubt Budge were all small time players until the Edinburgh based banks threw money at them.
Politically, people like Salmond and Brown were all involved in that circle of influence. That's the big story that they are afraid of, the football is only the most visible aspect of a national scandal!
That's a bit mental, can you explain your workings?

East Stirling kicked out of Scottish Cup over ineligible player (2011)

Dunfermline kicked out of Scottish Cup for 'breaches of competition rules' (two ineligible players - 2010)

Spartans thrown out of Scottish Cup over ineligible player mistake (2011)

Albion Rovers thrown out of cup for ineligible player (2017)

Brechin booted out of Scottish Cup (two ineligible players, 2008)


Did the SFA require emails or phone calls from any members clubs, never mind the majority of them, before they felt obliged to act in any of the above cases?

They haven't done their job, so they are obliged to answer our concerns, as their failure affects us.

If that means having to do uncomfortable interviews (Don Vincenzo Coccotti would have had a field day) then that's tough luck.

We beat them over the great flag flutter, the Jorge Cadete incident, the Dougiegate scandal and we'll beat them over this. They're in the wrong and they know it.

I see this post has made its way on to CQN on FB!

It's unbelievable (perfectly believable in Scotland) that the biggest club in the country all but accuses the SFA of being corrupt and rigging the game in favour of the Huns and nobody thinks it would be a good idea to attempt to interview PL or anyone else from Celtic.

Yes, and I know full well the way the media works here but I still find it astonishing that nobody has sought comment from Celtic regarding this.

I don't think PL would give an interview. He's holding all the cards just now while Regan is running around recycling his lies to anyone who'll listen.

Hopefully it's a case of 'never interfere with your enemy when he is making a mistake' and PL is biding his time to nail Regan.

Regan reminds me of Doc Daneeka in Catch 22 - constantly feeling threatened, a liar and drafted against his will, but all he wants to do is appease his superiors who hold the key to his success because the rest of his competitors are taken out the game. He needs to record flight time, so he gets others to forge documents in his name, recording false flight data.

He's constantly intercepted by soldiers looking for medical lines to avoid flying duties but responds with "get me in my office", but he's never in his office (spot the similarities).

In the end his chicanery is his own downfall after one of the pilots are downed with him "onboard":

Quote:
 
He tries to convince his wife that he is not dead, but fails


"It's me, Stewart"

Isn't it Major major major major who is never in his office? I think he is the symbol of unaccountable power in the novel? While since I read it mind you.
