Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has managed to register his image rights on the off-shore tax-efficient territory of Guernsey. Income received there for use of his rights everywhere else will not attract the kind of tax mere mortals pay in their daily lives.
Pellegrini, 60, developed a genial personality to combat profound ugliness, an affliction which has affected him for decades, so news that his image has commercial value is a wonderful boon for the multi-millionaire. Manchester City will also benefit as any monies they pay for use of their manager’s image will not attract tax or National Insurance contributions.
Uefa president, Michele Platini, who has never had to worry about ugliness, now has a different challenge. Whether or not to abandon his well-meaning Financial Fair Play aspirations, or get ugly on those who try to usurp his best intentions.

I like badgers, being a country bumpkin. They have not harmed our cattle with bovine TB. Yet. But, I wish they would start a cull over at the ole snake-gate. :))

Now that is a much healthier way of putting it.

Just heard a quote from some guy on BBC2, seriously he said “The badgers have moved the goal posts”.
Fill in your own punchlines……………….
When Opal fruits died they came back as starburst
When Sevco die they could come back as bawsburst.
Evening all
Can I just interject a concept at this juncture.
I still don’t like that guy McCoist. You know the fella? Likes pies. Demands to know answers to questions he already knows the answers to. Aye, him. Don’t like him

clink\o/ 19:51 on 9 October, 2013 rrc Possibly true. Anyone who utters the phrase ones as bad as the other in any situation is more concerned about their own image. The impression given is of even handedness while in actual fact it is an absence of judgement and a patronising slap in the face to whichever side has the moral high ground. Lazy journalism
As Hugh Macdiarmid put it –
I’ll ha’e nae hauf-way hoose, but aye be whaur Extremes meet – it’s the only way I ken
To dodge the curst conceit o’ bein’ richt
That damns the vast majority o’ men.
Every now and then you are struck with a reminder of just how utterly incompetent and monumentally stupid the people connected with Rangers/Sevco have been.
One such reminder came yesterday, in the form of this quote from their former big-spending manager, former saviour chairman, and would-be Jeffersonian figurehead, “Walter”.
“All the people saying this that and the next thing don’t realise that you can’t sit on the board of directors and tell people: ‘We can’t afford to do this.’”
“There is no common business sense. Yes, there is money going out, it’s a fact. But what do you do?
“Rangers are still losing money but when you make a decision to become involved at Rangers there is no common sense to it.”
Where does one even start with this? Where does this utterly incomprehensible crock of steaming manure fit in the pantheon of economic thought??
This moron was their chairman, and what’s more he remains – despite his role in bankrupting the original club and then giving succour to the spivs who run its successor – despite all this he remains the go-to guy for those looking to hear the Authentic Voice of The Rangers Establishment.
Truly, they have been cursed to have leaders as galactically stupid as this.

I am trying to get my head around something.
If a team goes into admin for the second time will the punishment/penalty be the same as a team that goes into admin for the first time.
If the punishment is different and Sevco go into admin this season will the punishment tell us that the team is the same or a Newco.
Then on the other hand will they start spinning the same company or a Newco company on us.

What has the Queen written in the batton that will be opened and read out at Celtic Park for the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony?
Will she finally reveal her latent Celtic tendencies?
GREENYINFURAFENIAN
Might be something in that.
Lee comes from Trowbridge,which used to be the home of Bowyers Pies.
Maybe Sally visited for some samples,and the cheeky chappie met Lee’s maw?
Winning Captains……infrequent poster but very long time lurker…If you could add me to the list?that would be appreciated…..fame at last ;)
