More Keane speculation

http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36260378

Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon says Roy Keane's "hard but fair" approach would be successful at the Glasgow club.
One bookmaker has suspended betting on the Republic of Ireland assistant taking over from outgoing Celtic boss Ronny Deila, although it is understood the club are still interviewing candidates and no decision is imminent.
"He's hard but fair. What you see is really is what you get," said Gordon.
"If he was appointed, I'm sure he would do well and he would be successful."
Gordon played under Keane at Sunderland having been signed by the Irishman from Hearts in a deal totalling £9m in 2007.
"I know how he liked things to run at Sunderland," Gordon added. "He was an aggressive player, he wanted to win every match and, from what I've seen, he is exactly the same as a manager."

Norwegian Deila announced on 20 April he would leave the club, before a fifth straight Scottish title was secured on Sunday.
Gordon is not surprised to see big names linked with the Celtic job and believes plenty of top-class managers would be interested in taking over the Scottish champions.
"It's a big job for anybody. It's a big club, a massive club," he said.
"There are a lot of good managers out there that would see Celtic as being a really good job and a good prospect to go on and do something pretty special, winning trophies and playing in European competitions.
"There's not that many clubs in Britain that are capable of doing that."

"Tax debt"

How would this work? Considering almost all debt comes with interest.
Just tax debt issuance. Easy enough.
there is too much of the stuff. Or tax debt in issuance.
Debt is going to have to be restructured anyway.

We have to start looking at alternatives. Cost of say a 20% tax on debt  versus ZIRP and deflation for the next 10 years. 
ZIRP cost versus say 4% interest rates if debt is cut to a reasonable level.

Are you taxing Government debt, corporate debt or private debt, or all of them?
All issued debt.
Cos debt is out of control and without a managed pruning a lot of it is going to be worthless.
It would be like a mini crash that makes the equity market safer.
Which we haven't had either BTW

So if I have an idea for a business and want to borrow money to get it up and running I need to pay interest to the lender and a tax on top of that?
I'll set up a fund to look at individual cases, Dec.
The 1% own something like 60% of all debt

So will I need to pay tax on any money I borrow or not?

A PTA in suburban Boston cancelled an annual school trip to the Nutcracker just in case anyone was offended by the presence of a Christmas Tree on the stage. This country is gone absolutely stark raving mad trying to be politically correct and a lot of people (not just republicans) are sick to death of it. As offensive as I find much of what Trump has to say, I love the fact he could give 2 fvcks about what anyone thinks and says whatever he wants. I actually like Bernie but do t want to pay any more tax, I think John Kasich is undoubtedly the best candidate of either party, Hillary is competent but is a crook and a hypocrite, Ted Cruz is a wacko.  It's actually very sad

What actually happened

Disagree
Which one? Leicester should have had one in first half.

Spurs don't win tomorrow and Leicester are Champions.

Can't believe I want Chelsea to get somthing out of a game!

I'd prefer Spurs to win that one and for Leicester to clinch it playing at home.

But then he's not renowned for his deep command of the details.

Just like the kenyan lad then. He turned out ok in your opinion.

Do we have to refer to all political figures by their families' country of origins? Trump could be the German/Scotch lad. Cruz could be the Canadian/Cuban lad.

Or is it just the black ones?

There was me thinking that they were all Americans. Not to birthers like you, Foxy, eh?

Trump and Cruz are unlikely to be president so it's not a valid point.

Reminds me I must purchase the new Adobe product. I've a few documents to alter. Not birthcerts though  ;D

Poor old birther loons never give up.

Does anyone know why the decision to split the Senior and Intermediate divisions into A and B section was made?

Tony will be taking it off anyway.
Note the "Her Majesty" bit rather than calling her Elizabeth Windsor like all true Irishmen

Must be Tony's new-fangled Northern Irish culture though...

He'll be turning up at Windsor Park for Northern Ireland games next.

I don't understand Celtic supporters who claim this is a different Rangers.If that's the case why was the Celtic end jam packed yesterday? Wouldn't have been if they were playing Dundee Utd,Inverness etc

It's a wind up/troll thing. Sort of like someone who posts a lots of trolling type threads and replies on this dicussion board.

They should just get rid of red and green diesel and then there would be no need for the diesel dippers.
