    Genuinely not a big fan although I'm prone to giving up early on shows. Got as far as them on the bridge at the start of Narcos and chucked it.

    No because the season would’ve been nulled and voided if that was the case.

    @petec to instruct.

    "During season 2016-17, earlier than usual fee payments were made to two clubs, totalling £300,000," said a spokesman. "These were made following the promotion of Rangers FC to the Ladbroke Premiership. These fee payments followed complaints by three clubs that they had been disadvantaged in the fixturing for that season by not getting three visits from Celtic FC/Rangers FC.

    "As a result of the negative impacts on their cash flow resulting from this fixturing anomaly, two of those three clubs requested earlier than normal fee payments totalling £300,000. These fee payments were not loans and were wholly within the amounts budgeted to be earned by those clubs, whatever final league placing was achieved by those clubs that season."

    Thats the same for me actually, left it on when nothing else was on but eventually went back to the start and watched it right through. Same for Two And A Half Men, watched it on and off to start with. 10-15 years later and these types of programmes are still getting repeated all over the channels.

    The *****'s club right enough.


    An English-based *****phile had connections with Celtic Boys Club it has emerged, strengthening claims of collusion between a network of abusers.


    Father Michael Spencer, a priest, teacher and football coach, used his position at Preston Catholic College, Lancashire, to abuse dozens of adolescent boys in the 1970s.


    Now evidence has emerged which shows that Spencer, who died in 2000, forged a relationship with Celtic FC’s feeder club and brought young players to Glasgow. Four men who held senior roles with Celtic Boys Club have been convicted of sexual abuse, spanning four decades, in recent years.


    Police Scotland is investigating claims that known abusers worked together to molest young footballers.


    It came after an independent review — commissioned by the Scottish FA — received “substantive” new evidence of an organised abuse ring operated by *****phile coaches in Scotland and England.


    Celtic View, Celtic FC’s official magazine, carried an article praising Spencer in August, 1975. It said he had been invited to Glasgow for a “friendly” match between Celtic Boys Club and his Preston Schoolboys under 15 team.


    In 2012 Patrick Raggett, a former lawyer, was awarded £55,000 in damages for the years of abuse Spencer inflicted on him during his schooldays.


    Lady Justice Swift at the High Court in London ruled Mr Raggett had been the victim of “insidious” abuse, stating: “Father Spencer took every opportunity to observe naked young boys and film them. He exploited his position to touch and fondle the boys for his own sexual satisfaction.”


    Mr Raggett told The Times: “It seems inconceivable to me that Spencer and those responsible for abuse at Celtic Boys Club weren’t in collusion.”


    His abuser filmed and photographed him naked on numerous occasions as well as taking shots of him in his football kit and swimming trunks.


    Mr Ragget said: “Spencer was a Celtic fanatic and had an obsession with photography and filming. He used to wear a black tracksuit with a Celtic badge and would show cine footage of the Celtic Boys Club playing, which would bore us rigid. I also believe he was sharing naked footage of me with others.”


    In 2004 John Cullen, who worked as the official photographer for Celtic View for almost 30 years, admitted taking indecent photographs of boys as young as 10. Cleaners found a black bag containing bundles of black and white images of naked and semi-naked boys in a store room at Celtic Park.


    Glasgow sheriff court heard the cache had been hidden there for almost 20 years before the management was alerted, called in the police and sacked Cullen, who was given three years probation.


    In 1976 Spencer’s conduct was deemed to be “unsatisfactory”, but he remained at the college until it closed in 1978 before being sent to Orkney.


    The review into abuse in Scottish football, due to be published within weeks, is expected to name Gordon Neely, a former Rangers and Hibernian youth coach, as a prolific abuser who worked with other *****philes in northwest England. Neely died of cancer in 2014.


    Celtic FC has said that it is sorry that abuse took place but continues to insist that it was a separate entity to its feeder club

    Good man. I'll be cutting the grass in the back garden today. Late afternoon I should think. Optimal time.

    Could actually be an interesting partnership that. Certainly a coup for them. They make top quality merch.

    I may even buy a top if this happens.
