125 kit and an SPL comparison

1030

A Hibs fan suggested to me on Twitter that as his team are wearing their home kit for next week’s Scottish Cup Final Celtic should take the opportunity to wear their 125th anniversary top. Despite there being 100 years precedent of Celtic and Hibs both wearing their home kits, recent rules (or perhaps customs) dictate that clubs are not permitted colour clashes.

That being the case, let’s take the opportunity to reach back to our founders and wear the anniversary kit.

Before that we have the small matter of Dundee United to play on Sunday. Celtic won the league by 20 points last season, 10 of which were gained after a competitor failed to come up with enough money to meet their commitments. Defeat at Tannadice could reduce this season’s winning margin to 10 points, in a season where everyone, even Hearts could afford to meet their commitments.

Who would’ve thought this SPL would be so competitive? Not me. More please.

Thanks for the excellent support for Willie Wallace’ autobiography. Orders in today from East Brisbane to West Didsbury and many places in between.

  1. The Leak

     

     

    Splat, splat, splat, the noise grew loud

     

    As thousands formed an eager crowd

     

    The hunger for the slightest crumb

     

    How easy does the mob succumb?

     

     

    Drip, drip, drip, waiting for a scrap

     

    Source unknown for the leaking tap

     

    Starved no longer as we gorge our fill

     

    Desperate as we are for the kill

     

     

    Splash, Splash, Splash, will this bring it down

     

    Swimming with Charlotte, could they all drown

     

    Floundering as the lies and deception grow

     

    Keep your life jacket handy as you tread the flow

    Just read oglach’s comments….something is ‘too good to be true’ about this.

     

     

    Who other than Julian Assange et al, Jack Irvine or CW himself can get to an email that old?

     

     

    Unless it is a fake…

    Currently delirious with man-flu, however this report appeared on stv site:5 Feb 2013

     

    But Ms Macdonald told the court that she was seeking new dates to be fixed because of a problem with the Crown disclosing their evidence to the defence. She said: “There has been partial disclosure by the Crown and reference has been made to a letter which the complainer (Whyte) produced from a computer which is owned and operated by the accused and purporting to be from the accused.

     

     

    “I have that computer in my office and there is a suggestion that the letter has been falsified. So the computer may have to be analysed. I have to get permission from the Scottish Legal Aid Board and then get an expert to do it, so we will not be ready to proceed to trial on March 4.”

     

     

    Fiscal depute Kevin Corrins confirmed that there was a letter listed as a production in the case but his office had not yet received it from the police. Sheriff Sutherland agreed to adjourn the trial and fixed new dates. A further intermediate diet will be held on May 14 and trial has now been set for June 10.

    Followed by the story yesterday that CW can’t be contacted in relation to the case:

    One trialist is JD, the other is Blind Sid Hemphill.

     

     

    Could work…

     

     

    ..on a dietary note, is it fair to say JD has taken the steak bake, rather than the ole soup?

    Before I go did I miss a statement from the SFAs nest of vipers on this latest chapter in this charade.

     

     

    I have a mental picture of Ogilvie. Donkey and Regan under a desk with their fingers in their ears looking at their mobiles praying they will ring with instructions from their masters :)) IMHO of course

    JD has a number of uses: allows ‘walking away’ on principle

     

    Gives Swaldo a resigning excuse that allows him back into BBC etc.

     

    Gets the unevolved behind ‘the real. Sevco men’

     

    If he goes on trial and gets injured, say an elbow in training, who is liable for him? Since he has no contract.

  16. Well I’m at a bit of a loose end today thanks to a council jobsworth who has suspended my cab due to a split CV Boot ( two days off the road awaiting a new and complete MOT test) so I hope the good news Bears keep the fun going today

    Taken from VideoCelts

     

     

    Internet newcomer Charlotte Fakeovers has published a watershed document claiming to be the legal action from Sevco 5088 against Charles Green, Imran Ahmad and Rangers Football Club Limited (formerly Sevco Scotland Ltd).

     

     

    The eight page document, apparently issued on December 12, lays out Sevco 5088’s claim to the club assets, Murray Park and Ibrox Stadium, prior to the share issue which allegedly raised £22m.

     

     

    Charlotte Fakeovers has appeared recently on the Scottish Football Monitor website and opened up a twitter account today. The second tweet from that account links in to the document allegedly served on Green by Sevco 5088.

     

     

    In less than an hour the new twitter account has attracted over 2,500 followers.

     

     

    Rangers chairman Malcolm Murray ordered an independent enquiry into links between Green and Craig Whyte after claims surfaced that Green was the front man for Whyte as the club plunged into liquidation.

     

     

    At the heart of the matter is the £5.5m value placed on Ibrox Stadium and Murray Park. Before and after the liquidation those same assets have been independently valued at between £60m-130m.

     

     

    Today’s leaked document details Sevco 5088 claim for those assets which would have invalidated the share issue.

     

     

    Publication of the document is likely to be followed by denials over it’s authenticity but further clouds the issue of just who owns the holding company that runs the football club.

     

     

    Last summer the SFA were involved in detailed negotiations with Green before issuing him with associate membership and a gateway into league football.

     

     

    The SFA have recently questioned Green on reports of his links with Whyte- who is barred from any role with any football club- but appear to be happy to sit back and await the outcome of the club’s own inquiry before deciding whether to withdraw the club’s associate membership of the SFA.

  20. Gordon_J

     

     

    Last season Sevco played 3 league games before 1 September. They also played 2 ramsden cup games and 2 league cup games.

     

     

    Presumably rules for trialists only extend to league fixtures, in which case they could play both Cammy Bell and John daly as trialists. As you say, a farcical situation if SFL allow it to happen.

    It seems one of the first documents posted was called.

     

     

    The Charlotte Project, a prospectus for the off loading of Rangers from the Then Parent Company, due to the Companies precarious financial postion.

     

     

    So the Charlotte Takeover was the sale of Rangers.

     

     

    So Ms Charlotte Fakeover nome~de~blog would suggest all was not what it seemed right from the initial sale.

     

     

    Who’d a thought.
