None of you will be surprised at today’s opinion from the Court of Session in Edinburgh that Rangers’ deal with Ticketus cannot be set aside, despite some absolutely pitiful reporting to the contrary. It’s fine to get things wrong every now and then, we all get Duff information on occasion, but please….
It’s worth recording, Ticketus may only have paid £20m + vat but the tickets they own are worth in the region of £40m. High risk investments require a high return.
Rangers’ administrators argued that the deal inhibited their ability to rescue the company but the heroic Blue Knights submitted a bid accommodating Ticketus, undermining the administrators’ argument. If only the Blue Knights were in a position to strike a deal with Craig Whyte they could be regarded as helping the situation instead of being hapless fools.
Next up is HMRC, who have not capitulated and agreed to accept a few pennies in the pound. They have not agreed to accept anything less than all monies owed. Soon after that we will hear that no court has been able to set aside Craig Whyte’s security over Ibrox. The most underappreciated man no longer in Scotland remains the only person with a reasonable chance of phoenix-ing Rangers.
The first 26,000 (approx.) tickets sold to each Rangers game for the next three years are owned by Ticketus. In the event a phoenix occurs, Rangers will have to revert back to budgets from their glory days of the 1950s – we will soon be told this is a great omen.
If you are going to Ibrox on Sunday, take care and enjoy your visit. Take photographs of the occasion and send them in, we’ll perhaps use them on a future edition of CQN Magazine. It may prove to be the end of an era.

Which means he is gambling on newco walking straight into the SPL.
If he does not have audited accounts in the next 7 days TFOD cannot play in anywhere in Scotland next season.
Unless he has already submitted them and I missed it?
Bhoys and ghirls
First time ever I’m not getting supporters bus and wondered where’s best to park the morra?
Cheers and Hail Hail
Bourne –
I see that you’re continuing to push My Sherona. There must be a message I’m not getting here?

Paul67,
My dad tried to register to post (username Frantic07) but has not had a password e-mail response. I would be grateful if you could look into it when you have a minute.
Cheers.
TGSC,
Sailing On….

Would not argue with your reasoning. Although given the spinelessness of the SFA and SPL and other self interested parties, he would not be taking much of a gamble.
The resident DJ at FF aptly named “the gub” has posted the following today.This refers to Mccoists high profile support of SCIAF
———————————————
Some chickens coming home to roost tomorrow, methinks.
In case anyone is in any doubt about it, Ally McCoist will be getting it tight from the filth tomorrow; he will be jeered, heckled and mocked. ‘Ally must stay’ anyone?
So am I the only one who finds it abhorrent that the manager of Rangers FC actually does charity work for these same scumbags, you know, those who hate Ally McCoist and everything he stands for?
Next season better see a different Rangers FC and how we treat and react to those who hate us. That includes our employees!

Lennon n Mc….Mjallby,
I am this very second off the phone with the Star (no answer at the Lord Clyde)… I asked “could you tell me if you’ll be showing the Celtic game tomorrow?” and she replied “there won’t be any PROPER English teams playing at the same time, will there?” I told her that “no, during the BIGGEST game in CLUB FOOTBALL, there will be no English teams playing.” Hell mend that wretched place.
As it happens, I find myself in Denholme right now, so am actually closer to Keighley than Bradford itself… so I’ll be glad to join you for the game. I’ll be the one with the mental hair and the history professor jacket – see you there.
I notice the Engineers is a social club – there won’t be any issues getting in as a non-member, will there?

Agreed, that is why I want five in midfield.
I would put Lustig in, too. He is big, has experience and shouldn’t be intimidated. Matthews over to the left if necessary.
Rogne and Mulgrew in the centre of defence.
For the first time in years, this fixture is irrelevant, regarding the points, so we should be more relaxed.
HOW TO WIN THE LEAGUE THIS WEEKEND
Motherwell fail to win today and we win tomorrow
HOW TO WIN THE LEAGE NEXT SATURDAY WITHOUT PLAYING
Option 1 – Motherwell win today, we win tomorrow, Motherwell fail to beat Rangers next weekend; OR
Option 2 – Motherwell draw today, we draw tomorrow, Motherwell and Rangers draw next Saturday; OR
OPTION 3 – Motherwell lose today, we draw tomorrow, Motherwell take anything from Rangers next Saturday.
If none of these exact permutations come up it’s on to our game against St Johnstone. There are 12 scenarios for that but I’ll leave this until at least after Motherwell’s game today…
Hope this helps!

I agree though I do think the way things are going for TFOD that things could get worse with court actions etc.
We may even end up with 2 TFOD’s! Imagine that!

“Next season better see a different Rangers FC”
I think it’s safe to say they’ll get their wish.
We’ll have important concerns next season. However, some internecine warfare over at Poundland will serve as an amusing diversion from our build-up to games against elite European sides.
First half of the chelski and spurs game total pash 0-0. Big question do I stick or twist for the second half and get them chores done?

That one leaves itself open to interpretation.
The more twisted of us might regard it as plea to a return to the good old days of eleven prodesents at Ibrox.

Agree with everything your saying. I would like to see the big pole get a start up front though. As you say the result is not important so if he scores it would be a bonus but on top of that, it is the position he used to playing, up front on his own, and we would be able to see what the guy is made of up avaunt TFOD. he looks like a battler to me.

No issues whatsoever,its bonanza time for the club when were playing the huns,their very good to us so don’t worry about getting in and as for the Star in bradford,it used to be run by a good wee ghuy who is a book holder but he’s since left,last time I watched us in there was the league cup final we beat the huns and there was quite a few of them in too but now you would struggle to get the game on in there.
Come to the Engineers in keighley,I will look out for the hair!

With regards to the statement about their own employees, I wonder do the bears know that their captain is married to a catholic and was married in a catholic cathedral. Imagine their tears
Who’s their captain?
From Alex Thomson’s latest blog:
“I’d expected the paranoia, insults, spin etc – hey – this is “fitba” after all and I welcome it good, bad and ugly, from fans within and without Glasgow. Indeed I’ve gone out and asked for it.
“What I didn’t expect were the insults (and in at least one case a direct physical threat) not from fans but from Scottish journalists.”
If he is annoying thw laptop loyal that much he must be getting somewhere.
I would give pretty much anything to be able to say at 4.50 today, we could win the league at Ibrox tomorrow.
That really would be special.

Lovely day here, garden done and now for football on telly, more importantly, STILL NO LUCK ON THE TICKET SEARCH , !!! will light a candle at mass tonight.
Spoke to my big Hun supporting maate yesterday, he was teh guy who first alerted me that CW was an absolute dud and it would all end in tears , this was last summer. He knows afew people in the city and is up for the match tomorrow along with his son. The last game he was at was when Sammi destroyed them and he had to explain to his son what ll the nutters were singing about.
He is hoping that we do not score early tomorrow as he fears for what will happen to the surrounding bears and does not want to be involved or have to get his son out of there.
I hope he is half right.

Wonder if Jabba threatened to eat Thompson?

“What I didn’t expect were the insults (and in at least one case a direct physical threat) not from fans but from Scottish journalists.”
Names please?
“Sarajevo, Mogadishu, Kabul, Islamabad, Tripoli, Baghdad…I could bore you with more – in none of these places have I ever got this interesting reaction from local journalists.
Only in Glasgow.”
