Yes, there is.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the two resolutions put forward by the Celtic trust need your support. They want to remind shareholders use their vote;<\/p>\n

” We are asking all shareholder to vote\u00a0FOR<\/strong>\u00a0Resolutions 10, 11,12.<\/strong>\u00a0 At a recent meeting the members of the Celtic Trust decided to depart from our usual practice of\u00a0WITHHOLDING<\/strong>\u00a0our votes on resolutions proposed by the Board which concern re-election and remuneration of Directors. We are asking for a vote\u00a0AGAINST<\/strong>\u00a0these resolutions to umderline our disgust and concern that the Board while giving themselves huge payments are denying their employees a Living Wage. If votes are proxied to the Trust they will be cast\u00a0FOR Resolutions 10, 11, 12, and AGAINST\u00a0Resolutions 1-9 \u00a0<\/strong>unless otherwise indicated. If proxying to the Chairman please remember to clearly indicate how you wish each vote to be cast.<\/p>\n

Thats from an article on the Trusts website.<\/p>\n

I can’t see any mention of the other resolution, which calls for an investigation into how Rangers got their licence a couple of years ago, thus skanking a few teams out of money they were due, but thats the other one to vote for.<\/p>\n

Unless the grapevine is correct, and its been withdrawn after a chat with Tsar Peter.<\/p>\n

The Trust will be tweeting from the meeting regularly, so if you want to keep an eye on this years events, its at #ticagm.<\/p>\n

I’m sure we will all be delighted with how it turns out.<\/p>\n

International football takes centre stage tonight-its the first leg of the play offs for the World cup. Celtics interest will be in the Greece -Romania and Portugal – Sweden ties, while some of us might have a look at Iceland against Croatia and wonder what might have been -first with Alfie Finnbogasson, and second if Craig Levein had not have been involved with Scotland.<\/p>\n

Scotland themselves are in action -action perhaps too strong a word-against the USA , and Scott Brown is looking for a place in the Hall of Fame. He currently has 34 of the required 50 caps;<\/p>\n

\u201cI keep a cap and a strip from every game to show my kids what I\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully I can make the magic 50 and they\u2019ll see my picture on the wall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m enjoying playing for Scotland and for Celtic, even though I haven\u2019t played as many games as I\u2019d have liked to.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo while I\u2019m free of injury, if I could play every minute of every game then I\u2019d love to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are two huge games for Scotland and if I can play in both that would be an honour for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe then go into a huge club game against Aberdeen. Then we have the Champions League, so I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll get a rest then!<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the lads want to play for Scotland. It\u2019s a great honour and there is a real commitment here.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at Alan Hutton, who has not been playing for Aston Villa. It\u2019s a great opportunity for him to come here, play and show how good he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Er, aye.<\/p>\n

James Forrest has pulled out of the squad, as he feels he gets more than enough chances to get injured while on club duty.<\/p>\n

The Dream Team of Martin O’ Neill and Roy Keane swings into action for Ireland with a game against Latvia, and the former Celtic manager is upbeat about making a go of a job where he doesn’t have Henrik Larsson in his team and is not allowed to buy any players. Actually, when you remember Henri Camara, thats got to be a good thing.<\/p>\n

England manager Roy Hodgson hasn’t decided, publicly at least, whether or not to give Fraser Forster a game against Chile, but it looks likely. There are doubts in England that the big keeper can step up from playing against Barcelona, Juventus, Milan and Ajax, so there is still a chance that Jack Ruddy will get the nod, as he faced West Ham last week, and only conceded one.<\/p>\n

Strange one this, but not surprising. If ruddy gets in, then Gary Hooper will feel strangely vindicated, even if someone has to explain to him what it means.<\/p>\n

Actually, Jim Bett, the player many people thought was even better than Paul McStay, though granted not anyone who knew anything about football, has claimed that new Celtic signing Holmbert Aron Fridjonsson-Stevie May is easier to spell, I’m sure Lennon just signed the Icelander to annoy me-is the new Gary Hooper;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFridjonsson has become a hot property in Icelandic football and his goal ratio of one every two games speaks for itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s an impressive strike rate for any attacker no matter what league you play in. The youngster is highly rated and has been earning rave reviews.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Iceland they\u2019ve shown all his goals on TV and I would rate him a penalty-box striker in the mould of Gary Hooper.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe does most of his damage in and around the six-yard box.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou hesitate to put pressure on the lad by labelling him before he has kicked a ball for Celtic but he has the potential to make a similar impact to Hooper at Celtic Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor an outlay of just \u00a3100,000 Celtic would be getting a decent player with the raw ingredients and a keen eye for goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cCeltic are not taking any great risk at that price so it really is a win-win situation for everybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cCeltic are traditionally a team that creates a lot of chances so it stands to reason that Fridjonsson would score goals for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Celtic are the right club for him and that this move has come at the right time. He has so much promise I could see him getting an early opportunity in Neil Lennon\u2019s side ”<\/p>\n

Well done the Daily Record for finding someone with inside knowledge of the player. Its probably just a coincidence that its an ex Rangers player. Yeah, they probably couldn’t find anyone else in their big book of football contacts.<\/p>\n

Friend of mine has invented a time machine. He was panicking yesterday, as he had inadvertently gone back in time and er, met his mum, and er, well, you know.. So i asked him if he could actually be his own father, but he said it wasn’t possible, as he only went back a fortnight. Anyway, I borrowed it from him…<\/p>\n

As I stepped out onto the terrain the first thing that hit me was the smell. The decay and ruins were all around me of a once thriving civilisation. The dark souless creatures that inhabited this place uttered thier unearthly gutteral communication. Then the true horror of what had happened slowly began to dawn on me. The bloody thing wasn’t working. This was still Ibrox, 2013<\/p>\n

And heres the new decor inside..<\/p>\n

\"Embedded<\/p>\n

There are many, many rumours about what happened at Ibrox, and there are many , many rumours about what is going to happen. Although I wouldn’t believe the one about an upcoming AGM, as the modus operandi of the spivs is to scarper before they have to face any questions.<\/p>\n

Sevco 5088 have suddenly re-appeared. Yesterday, they removed a director, Charles Green, and now only have two left on their board. Craig Whyte, who promised in February of last year, to finish what he started at Ibrox, and Aiden Earley.<\/p>\n

Green is away, he’s made his money and got a nice new house out of the money skanked from the Rangers support.<\/p>\n

\"Embedded<\/p>\n

So, whats next ?<\/p>\n

Someone has recalled a request to dissolve Sevco 5088, and if you remember, that was the firm set up to buy the assets of the now defunct Rangers FC. Delightfully, and purely coincidentally, \u00a0for Duff and Phelps, the administrators at the time, the sum raised just about covered their fees…<\/p>\n

The only people who know exactly what is going on are those directly involved, the whole saga of the demise of the club will never truly be documented whilst we still have a compliant scottish media too afraid to ask questions and demand answers. They know where to look for them, but are scared to lift up the rock that conceals them.<\/p>\n

Happily, for those of us who are interested, the New Scientist magazine offers an explanation;<\/p>\n

\n
The Multi-jers theory.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
This is a recently postulated theory which essentially says that there could exist a phenomena where two or more entities, though not the same in any way, are recognised as being the same due to a similarity in name, and are in existence at the same time.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
At this time there are two schools of thought the more rigid and uniform of these schools states that the name is purely co-incidental, and does demonstrate a likely continuation though not fully explanative of the multi-existence. The second and more widely accepted, or catholic theory is that the naming similarity is a cynical ploy to enhance the gravity like forces that build up around such entities.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/var>This paper will talk further about what the theory says about identifying the entities, and the gravity like forces of attraction which act around these entities and how they interact in the multi-jers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Identifying<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
In theory there would be no problems associated with identifying and recognising the different entities in the multi-jers and a naming convention has been agreed through international committees to class these entities by range as they appear in a chronological order (see table 1)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n
First range-jers<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Chronologically the first entity in the sequence<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
Second range-jers<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Chronologically the first entity in the sequence<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
Third range-jers<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Chronologically the third entity in the sequence<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
(n)range-jers<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
The nth<\/sup>\u00a0entity in the sequence<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
(where n is a positive integer)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0table 1\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Though the sequence above extrapolates to any number (n) of simultaneous existence\u2019s, the maths is inconclusive, but strongly show the probability of more than two simultaneous entities as being highly unlikely.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
Though easily identified there is a lesser known and conflicting theory which asserts this would be very difficult to express verbally or to commit the to print which entity is in fact the subject matter at any point in time, as the continual shifting trajectory of opinion would obfuscate certain identifiable parameters of the entity.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Forces of attraction<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
In the earliest chronology when there is only one entity in existence (the first range-jers) then the attraction forces are all attributed to that single entity. However with the appearance of subsequent entities the theory suggests that something quite unique will occur. So if each entity has a force of attraction, J at the start with J1<\/sub>\u00a0being that of the first Range-jers and J2<\/sub>\u00a0being that of the second range-jers (and Jn<\/sub>\u00a0for n ranges). Then it has been calculated that J1<\/sub>\u00a0> J2<\/sub>\u00a0at this time. However we must consider the relationship with time. Hence: J2<\/sub>(t) = e(kt)\/2<\/sup>(J1<\/sub>(t)) [equation 1] (where k is a media factor similar permeability and describes the extent to which the media can sustain the newest instance).<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
As already mentioned it is thought highly unlikely that more than two entities can be sustained at any one time, however the theory does expand equation 1) for more than two entities, should the unlikely occur, and this is expressed as Jn<\/sub>(t) = e(<\/sup><\/span>\u03c1kt)\/(n^2)<\/span><\/sup>(J1<\/sub>(t))+e e(<\/sup><\/span>\u03c1kt)\/(n-1)^2<\/span><\/sup>(J2<\/sub>(t))+.. e(<\/sup><\/span>\u03c1kt)<\/span><\/sup>(Jn<\/sub>(t)) [equation 2], where\u00a0<\/span>\u03c1\u00a0is a complex factor which is best calculated by numerical methods and measurement should such an event be observed.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Observations made on the scenario described by equation 1, show that the attraction factor J2<\/sub>\u00a0after a period of time tg\u00a0<\/sub>exceed the attraction factor J1<\/sub>\u00a0and though the theory tells us that this is due to the media properties given as k, this factor itself is highly influenced by turbulence around the each entity and affects the rate at which attraction to one entity is transferred to the other. The theory also tells us that unless the turbulence can be controlled and the factor k reduced the energy available in J2<\/sub>\u00a0will exceed the physical proportions restraining matter in the newest entity which could have disasterous effects and result in a huge dissipation of the available energy. The Multi-jers theory does suggest though should such a cataclysmic event occur then it would quickly diminish over a short half-life period to manageable levels which can be disposed of safety. “<\/div>\n

\u00a0Big thanks to the Green Maestro for finding that .<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Lets be honest, its not any less obscure than any of the guff eminating from anyone else on the subject.<\/div>\n

\u00a0Speaking of the media, ourselves, thanks to CarlJunglebhoy, CQN, and the Dutch media all have the real story about the trouble in Amsterdam, and yet theres still nothing in the Scottish media.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Surprised ? You shouldn’t be.<\/div>\n

\u00a0Yesterdays question about the 1962 Fairs Cup game was nearly answered by Steveo. Yes, Valencia were the holders at the tim, but what isn’t commonly known is that they actually had only won the tournament about six weeks previous, so they were still at the height of their powers.<\/div>\n
The\u00a01962 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final<\/b>\u00a0was the final of the fourth\u00a0Inter-Cities Fairs Cup<\/a>. It was played on 8 September and 12 September 1962 between\u00a0Valencia CF<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0CF Barcelona<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0Spain<\/a>. Valencia won the tie 7\u20133 on aggregate.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Celtic lined up against them on the 26th of September in the Mestalla.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Everydays a schoolday.<\/div>\n

I’m looking forward to a good weekend, I’ve lots to do, so I’ll need to be careful not to lock myself in a sports holdall. Apparently its easily done.<\/div>\n

\u00a0In other news, David Cameron has challenged Sri Lanka on their abysmal record on human rights. Well, it might take him a year or so, but the way he’s going , he \u00a0should be able to at least match them.<\/div>\n
