buster.

Going into the last group games, we shouldn't have any problems getting into the Main Cup KO stages. We play the Dragons, they play in sheep colours and are just as bad. Rangers 4pts (+2) Wolves 4pts (+1) HKFC 3pts (-1) Dragons 0pts GAME about to start.........NOW

Yes, but as far as this thread is concerned, it's about BBC Scotland and how it is reporting/reacting to ongoing events in and around the Celtic Boys Club abuse scandal. We'll have to see how things develop but the question that emerges is would PQ deliberately slant coverage (or lack of) to favour one side of the compensation claim case that victims have made on Celtic FC ? And beyond that, is it part of an ongoing editorial imbalance that permeates throughout the organisation ? This issue in particular is more about the News programmes than Sportsound.

Not really, it's something else that they are very quiet on.

Re. Peter Smith tweet I'm not seeing the same level of questioning coming from investigative journalist, Mark Daly. Looking at Daly's twitter account, I don't see a retweet for the DR report, the Peter Smith reaction to it or a reaction from Daly himself. Whether he has made a comment elsewhere, I don't know. ------------------ Victims could do with holding public protest demos to allow others to show their support and further highlight this case, eg. outside PQ. No football colours to be worn.

Main Cup, Shield and Plate competitions The Main Tournament will involve 16 teams and will be played initially on a league phase followed by a knockout phase. The league phase will comprise four groups each containing four teams. Each team will play the other teams in their respective groups on Saturday 18 May. All matches in the Main Cup, Plate and Shield knockout competitions shall be played on Sunday 19 May. The top two teams in each league will proceed to the quarter-finals of the Main Cup knockout competition. The third and fourth teams in each league will proceed to the quarter-finals of the Main Plate knockout competition. The Main Shield knockout competition will be contested by the losing quarter-finalists in the Main Cup knockout competition and will only consist of semi-finals and a final. While there is no upper age limit applied to the participants in the Main Tournament, participants must have reached the age of 16 by 1 January 2019.

Being overturned is a double win. We have the player available for the first game of next season (not bothered about tomorrow) and It'll help generate more headlines that will only go towards ensuring that the process is changed.

Will PQ use it's various programmes today to highlight the lack of reaction from Celtic FC to the growing momentum that is ever more damming in detail, that rips up the club's 'nowt to do with us Guv' stance ? My bet (shorter odds than City to win the Cup) is that PQ will adopt the 'nowt to do with the fitbaw but we will talk a lot about the Celtic statement on Flanagan line'

Good, thought it was between yellow and red, so yellow was the correct card to show. After the upgrade to red, pleasantly surprised the red was overturned. Celtic statement trying to develop media headlines to cover the lack of a statement on another more important issue.

If you want to watch the Rangers game already played you just have to go backwards on the utube link. We were wearing Mandarin, trying to woo local support !! Portimonense are a team of giants btw !

We equalise 1st attack in second half. Is Forlan at the game ?

It's HT at the Hong Kong tournament 0-1 down to HKFC Live @

That is why I posted it.

Not so sure the first team is tbh. Talk of bringing quality in is fine but when you have functioning consistent and creative quality already here, going into a season that I think is make or break regards stopping 10IAR, you have to pull out all the stops to keep him and nothing but real top dollar should be entertained.

Seems as if there is a determined effort/need to squeeze as much value as possible with what has been called low hanging fruit. Cheap is great if the players can do a job #Kamara Lowe has a bit of quality and would I think be a prudent signing. It may even help force Barasic onto a better game. It also affords more space to move into when looking to make a profit on player trading (obviously not Lowe if it were to be a loan).

Let's for a moment presume the Lowe rumour is correct. SG wants a tight squad that suggests two left backs. Barasic Flanagan (also a RB) Halliday (decent stop-gap) If Tav were to move on (which I hope more than anyone he doesn't) then Flanagan moves over and competes with Polster and possibly McCrorie. ie. there may well be a gap to fill.

Quick detour Flanagan and Katic have made us more solid at the back. No coincidence that they were both in a successful defence at the start of the season. Am I joking ?

Over the years, Jackson has repeatedly shown himself to come down favourably on the side of those who offer him something in return. It's not an uncommon trait amongst journalists but if I were forced to name the Fitbaw hack who I thought most practised this, it would be KJ.

Another angle to look at is the willingness by various media outlets and journalists to help Celtic PLC as they look to avoid what I would call appropriate scrutiny.

If he really wanted to stay, I'd be more inclined to share your optimism.

The usual unofficial and unsatisfactory procedure would seem to be that it usually gets out to journalists and is then reported on. It's another reason to ridicule the process but I doubt the leaks will be pure bullshit. I think you could use Scott Brown as exhibit X and go through a couple of seasons of videos and put forward a slam dunk case against Mr.Untouchable, Sportscene, C.O., the process and how a lack of transparency allows blatant injustice to thrive.
