There’s a gentleman that’s going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool Pigeon – ha-cha-cha-cha
He’s an old ex-con that’s been away
Now he’s back, no one’s safe
It’s quite likely that David Grier and Craig Whyte had many conversations they didn’t want replayed on BBC Reporting Scotland. Their deal to acquire Rangers from Sir David Murray and Lloyds Banking Group would have required many scenarios to be considered, some of which would certainly be unpalatable. So with this in mind, Grier may have been comfortable discussing strategy with Whyte when the latter recorded their conversation in May this year. They had been in the proverbial trenches together before and at one time would have had a bond of trust.
What frankly beggars belief is that either party would consider this bond to be still in place a month after Duff and Phelps sued Craig Whyte’s company for £25m. It’s even more surprising that Mr Grier and Mr Whyte were on such convivial terms – chatting liberally in a restaurant about such a serious matter – while they were supposed to be on opposite sides of a £25m legal action.
We now know that Rangers administration went miles off track soon after it started. Whyte, as we predicted back in October last year, hoped to present creditors and Scottish football with a fait accompli. Duff and Phelps were to complete the task within days for a fixed fee of a fraction of what they eventually raised.
Instead Duff and Phelps fee increased by a factor of six, Whyte lost control of events and inherited a great deal of litigation, not to mention a police inquiry. Duff and Phelps must now prepare to tell the truth to Lord Hodge next week. There are millions of pounds at play here and anything short of the truth could land them in heaps of trouble.
Credit to Mark Daly and Reporting Scotland for landing the recording. The BBC are taking a pounding this month but this was a stunning item for an evening news bulletin to present.
Craig Whyte, you will remember, threatened to sue Daly last year and managed to convince the hard of thinking that Daly, and the BBC, were victimising Rangers by dishing the dirt on Whyte. Some still adhere to this belief, despite now realising their Messiah was just a naughty boy, it’s a cognitive dissonance thing. Another lesson that football fans are fools for bombast.
After all the talk then they wired him
And he took a walk with his crooked friends
And they joked about the good old days
And he recorded it on a reel of tape
He caught the mug who did in the forgery
And the babe in charge of larceny
We have to wonder what liquidators BDO will make of Duff and Phelps actions when they take over next week. Ha-cha-cha-cha.

FFS, JJ a teacher?! It’s one of those moments when you kick yourself and say, FFS, of course !!! :))
But aye, we’re all timternet bampots and that’s the truth !
Best crows of bampots I’ve been amongst.
Er, and I’m probably the biggest bampot (purely in terms of bampottery, cos I have issues with my height).
FFM, Ms Riley is a very nice looking young lady but she looks like she’s goat a “wan baw” thing happening in her troosers.
Maybe she’s a doonhamer too?

I hear you.
It’s a worrying time. Mistakes not learned, but instead, being used for the greater bad.
Eyes wide open amigo.

Nope nope. When I agreed to marry her last year, I told her to stop wearing the strapless arse bra, which is why you’re seeing a notch in the crotch.
Tis all fine.

The bible is a book.
Written hundreds of years after the events.
Anyway, do you want to meet halfway, in Old Kilpatrick, have a few beers and then disagree?

FFM, I worked with a texan a few years ago who had issues with his height, well it was more an issue with the hight of scottish doors. He was about 7’4”. He broke his nose on a door frame in the inchyra grange hotel while being incredibly polite and letting everyone else through.
It was both funny and humbling at the same time. Mostly funny though.

Hmm. Disagree with that my friend. But it’s one of those partial ones though :))
If we could all shake off the shackles of selfishness, what a world this would be ! (my words thank you very much :)))
Actually I don’t think the books prior to The Lord were anywhere near 1000 years prior. Sorry about that.
A few hundred years is a lot more accurate.
I owe you a lot of beers m8 for your patience.

?? IS that the twin hotel of the Grange Hotel in the Brig, where the opposite happened to me and I banged my nose on the carpet trim??
The only thing to save my humility was me wearing a Texan Bunnet as well, and dashing upstairs like Speedy Gonzalez, but am thinking of the day we beast them 6-2, so it’s all a bit hazy, with them getting violent and whatnot, while me and my loving girlfriend at the time made it a Sunday night to remember :)))
I’m looking forward to a right good lunch in Coia’s then watching Kilmarnock being destroyed by Mr Lennon and his choice of players on the day. If ever a team desreved a hiding its them for their shameful support of the hun.
No mercy for the hun apologists.
By the way
I always read the name petec, as a kind of Slavic petech.
After I thought about it I read it as Pete C.
But I kinda miss Petech.

Even Peter denied Yeshuah 3 times because he was shi**ing himself stupid, the one person who would never deny Yeshuah as well. We all have no chance in this World unless we fully believe in Yeshuah dying for our Sins.

Before I fall asleep with a QWERTY imprint on my napper, hope you’re keeping well amigo.
Keep up the good fight.
FFM, naw, it was around the time of the 5 – 1 game and mr lubo’s “who the F**K is lubo) introduction.
If it’s any consolation, I lost my hat that day too, goat leathered and puked up in a resturaunt. Not one of my best moments……………………but I look back on it now and I remember 2 from lubo, 2 from henke and one from that wee midgety substitute dude miller (liam).
My best memory of that day was the music at the end. “The sweetest thing”, we still went on to lose the league that year but the day was memorable.
petec @ 04:07
I hear you. Thanks amigo.
You start thinking about yourself and your own weans now ! :)
405 is the Ticket choice this game, 4 tickets this time so I am away up in the gods at V level.
The good thing about watching the game from there is you can see every tactical nuance but it is hard to appreciate skilled play.
A Ceiler Gonof Rust @ 04:09
I can go better than that (imo – of course some feckrs will have better stories!)
In Bairds, Henke scores the winning goal, Bairds was mobbed even though CP was sold out at 60,000.
I got a great snog from a rather tasty burd.
Now, either, she was actually one of the fat 50 yr old table cleaning men, and the drink has pleasantly distorted my memory, or I dreamt the whole thing.
But I have witnesses, and none of them have been evil enough to make me think either of those possiblilities happened.
I got a great snog from a hunny the day we won the league.
I think it was my lack of height that made me attractive to her. Head to head, for a wee west Highland Terrier, she did no bad.

FFS, My ST was 403. !!
It’s a great view- great central place to the auld GB. See it all.
Petec,
I know. But you’re a fine soul amigo:

FFM, Rascar,
There are seats still available behind where me and the wee man and his wee brother and Mum are sitting.
I’d love to buy tickets for both of you to join us at the game. I got 3 accumulators up last week and it would be a privilege to watch the game with you guys.
Aidan’s Mum would be there to look after the wee lads and we could go higher up where there is more seats to have a good view chin wag about the Celts as they play.
rascar, I’m glad we agree that they are definitely different, The reason? I dont know, their WATP is mindless, their GOSQ is equally as mindless as is their use of “rule brittania”
Their mass bigotry is frightning but even at a one to one level the ones I know exhibit the same traits that they would if they joined the baying mob.
I now dont really have what I would class as a “decent” hun friend or collegue.
I cant put my hand on my heart and say my life is any less rich whithout the dead hun or their folloers.
HH celtic men and wummin
Petec, you are a prince amoung men.
HH Bruv.

Apologies,
I should have asked your Excellent self as well.
I hope you are not offended and I’d love to get you a ticket.
Petec,
That sounds great to me. What game are we talking about? Will send you the dosh to get a ticket if I don’t have it already?
Oh and btw you can all buy me a Vodka with soda water in the future.
Petec,
Am right up for it. Give me the date amigo.
FFM I will get the ticket sorted and you can buy me a few extra drinks when we meet with Bob in Jan/Feb.
Killie game.
Petec,
Wow, Saturday? I can actually make that, due to change of plan tonight.
Email me at mcg009g2617@ blueyonder.co.uk and I’ll get back with proper email add, my good pal
Doh, ignore the g after mc

Away, I can pay my ticket. Not a worry, drop me an email.
