Can you believe these Duff and Phelps people? They can’t afford to pay Rangers taxes, or other SPL clubs monies due, but today they tried to increase their payroll today by asking the SPL to register Daniel Cousin. Can you imagine what the out-of-pocket creditors feel about this?
These people are in place to make sure the company trades long enough to repay creditors. They can trade perfectly well with the three dozen or so players they have, what kind of justification could they possibly give to the court for playing Football Manager with other people’s money? No wonder HM Revenue and Customs fought their appointment.
What an absolute shower. It’s almost as though that place is some kind of lightning rod for a special type of competency. It’s not your money you’re spending, pay the club’s bills and stop looking for football bling, that’s what got the last lot into trouble in the first place!

Liquidation!!!!
Been a quiet week on here about our team matters.i see big Dan won his appeal and is eligable to play also young Rogne is fit again. Hope Lenny plays the young yin
Isn’t it amusingly pathetic that the LL are trying their best to show Celtic in a ‘negative light’ because we are not mourning the demise of the current buns……!!
Oh, by the way, good to see Rogne back fit……
sorry to ask this but trying to keep off the site until this tax case is past, as its depressing me . Still think as i posted weeks and weeks ago that they will get off lightly, but it is even obvious to me that the administrators shouldn,t be involved , so why cant HMRC not shift them . .

bar for bigots
Scottish publicans have asked the Government to define what qualifies as football-related bigotry under the Offensive Behaviour Act.
Tom Shields on … The Herald
The Scottish Beer and Pub Association said: “We need concrete examples and scenarios which we know would present problems to the police, what they consider could be happening in pubs and which shouldn’t be. You’re talking songs and slogans and perhaps lists of what’s in or out. During the passage of the Bill it wasn’t in the slightest bit clear what the practical implementations would be.”
The SBPA seeks clarification as to what is expected of licensed premises as Scotland strives to eradicate sectarianism. Some pub owners may just want to know what kind of behaviour their customers can get away with.
We must assume the issue here is mainly about how the followers of Celtic and Rangers conduct themselves and does not concern the fans of Partick Thistle or Stenhousemuir.
I can think of a few obvious hints for publicans. Try to dissuade customers from running out of the premises to attack fans of the other persuasion and then coming back to finish their pint. In fact, don’t serve these kind of people at all.
Ban that dice game forced upon any unfortunate from the other side of the divide who enters the bar by mistake. The game where the visitor gets a punch in the face for anything other than a six. Getting a six qualifies you for another throw.
Other little touches might encourage ecumenicism. The pub owner should endeavour to have amidst the 3000 tunes in the jukebox a few which do not relate to armed conflict in Ireland. Decor-wise, maybe try a colour scheme which is not exclusively green and white hoops or red, white and blue with black stockings.
The police football co-ordination unit and the courts will have to negotiate a minefield in determining what is banter and what is bigotry.
The root of the problem is the existence of so many Celtic pubs and Rangers pubs.
It will not be legislation or police intervention that changes this ridiculous division in the business of going out for a social drink. It’s up to customers to boycott the bigot bars and frequent premises where people can feel safe and welcome regardless of any football affiliation.
Excellent article in today’s Guardian (paper of choice of wee Pat Nevin). RTC gives it straight!
This is what the LL have been doing whilst Murray was busy tearing the joint down:

Wonder if there will be any veterans of the Iraq and the current Afghan conflict at Ibrox today?
So while they are being paraded they can ponder on how they were sent to fight for their country under-equipped and badly-supplied while Rangers were evading their British tax dues and assisting over-paid foreign footballers evade paying British taxes?
All with unsurpassed dignity.
I bet their gutted about all the free tickets they have given out to the troops over the years.
Thats alot of money they have lost out on.
That was the week that was.
St Huno’s day will never be forgotten from the liturgical calendar, and things have ‘panned’ out precisely as predicted by many clever bloggers on CQN, and elsewhere in Celtic new media.
I suspect that administration is the merely the tip of the iceberg, and Craig Whyte is ‘more than a hero to me’, it has been a marriage made in heaven for Celtic fans, with Rangers faked over by a professional flimflammer, who’s retreated to let hand picked administrators try and keep the wolves from the door, to keep ‘the big house open’.
I’m hoping the denial, and posturing continues for as long as they like, it’s more fun and when the eventual downfall comes during inevitable insolvency, it will be all the more sweet for us, and more than a century of hornswoggle, swindle, and deception will have caught up with them.
The graffiti is most certainly on the wall.

What a great summary
An Argentinian friend (Boca fan) tells me River Plate (The rich and “established” club) were protected and financially supported by various politicians, press etc
When the Argentine economy colapsed 10 years ago and the flow of information started to become public via the internet – the money supporting River Plate started to dry up
River Plate were relagated last year
Not sure there is a direct conection to events in Scotland – but I think my point is – Establishments be they political or sporting can no longer reley on their friendly press friends to save them
The truth is out there
Rangerstax case and Paul 67 are great examples

You’re dead right about them spitting nails about Lenny’s comments.
There are several threads on FF with literally hundreds of posts describing our Celtic hero in the vilest terms.
Peter Lawwell gets the same treatment but a lesser number of posts.
I recall posting on here when Lenny got the job that perhaps he was the right man at the wrong time.
How wrong I was.
I admit to thinking, with deep sadness and regret, that maybe Lenny should step aside when we were trailing badly earlier this season.
How wrong I was.
All in all I don’t think there is a person in my Celtic supporting days any more deserving of our respect and our support than Neil Lennon, including great heroes like Tommy Burns and legends like Henrik Larsson.
This title, should we win it, should be referred to as the Neil Francis Lennon title.
ONE NEIL LENNON.

Big Nan, don’t start me off…HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
I need a bit of advice though as I’m supposed to be going to my sister’s in Larkhall in a couple of weeks!
How do I get rid off the Jack Nicholson Joker-esque grin off my face to disguise my Timiness and thus prevent a doing?
Any advice appreciated.

Baxendale Walker ‘talks’ to HMRC
share
………………
The taxman/woman must be seriously pissed off when they see a comedian like P B-W ripping it out of them like he does on this video.
Why would anyone antagonise the taxman in this way?
Not smart.

I think it is a lazy Susan, a cousin to a dumb waiter?
Rangers fans awaiting news of demise = dumb waiter
Hugh Keevins= lazy Susan?

I can see a bigotfest down Govan way this afternoon.
In their darkest hour, the huns will indulge in a display of solidarity the Klan would be proud of.
We’ll all cop it: Fenians, Pope of Rome, Bobby Sands, Jock, Famine, Neil Lennon, and they’re probably
penning a number for PL as I write. But what else is to be expected?
The eyes of the world will be on Ibrox today. The biggest club in history to go into administration is a massive story.
Press packs from all over will be in attendance. Therefore you’d think they’d be on their best behaviour, knowing that
they need as much public sympathy and support they can gather. But no, all I can visualise are angry faces, spewing
out the usual stuff. Its as if its all NL’s fault, or John Reid, or Jock Stein. Hold on a minute, it is the great man’s fault.
He set the bar at a level well beyond the huns’ reach and they’ve crippled themselves trying to emulate his feats.
I know enough good Rangers fans to realse that there will be many at Ibrox today who will cringe and despair
at how their fellow supporters ‘rally round’ the club they ‘love’. But sadly thats the way of the world for too many
who follow RFC. They will do what they do best, and it wont be a pretty sight or sound.
Are you listening Pat Nevin?
BSR
Can you put that link back up..
Mrs BT wondering why I was laughing last night…
We are the good guys – its official
I am 55
Did not make Lisbon – but did go to Celtic Park and watch the Lisbon Lions parade the European Cup
I saw 9 in a row and I saw 10 men win the league – I was in Seville – I was at Paradise for 6-2 and I have seen a few more
But the highlight of supporting a team that is open to all – supports those in need – and makes every effort to do the right thing be it financially ethically morally
Not only do we support the famous Glasgow Celtic – but we support the good guys
Hold your head up with pride = let them suffer for all they have done

Coneybhoy,
it was defo called a party susan in my hoose although I think I have heard the term
“lazy susan” also.

A great invention for the 1970’s parties.
Now back to the main event. We’re havin a party when the Rangers die…….

Goodness me…….didn’t know rankers had “millions” of supporters……but, then, I didn’t know cw was a Billionaire either……..!!!!……….
Warnock takes Leeds job.
Marrakesh Express
exactly what i suggested last night
in their darkest hour they revert type
instead of introspection and humility
the world will see the snarling bigot at his/her worst
Well said Neil
Lennon, when asked his position on the call from some Celtic supporters to strip Rangers of their titles in the event of the club being found guilty of tax evasion, referred to use of the expression “financial doping”. The manager explained that he didn’t know the club’s position on the matter, but in his eyes “doping is a sporting term for cheating”. He added: “In athletics, if you are caught doping you are banned. Alberto Contador got stripped of his Tour de France win in 2010, so there are precedents.
“It’s all hearsay and hot air at the minute. I don’t want to comment on it until all the results and all the findings are out. But if it has had a direct effect on me in my playing days, I will come out and say something at that time. As it is now, it hasn’t been proved.
67 European Cup Winners ……….I can beat that…….I’ve watched Ledley’s goal EVERY day since we slaughtered them 1-0……LOL…!!!!
Loving how the Huns are being persuaded to part with some extra cash and put on a party prior to being robbed and killed off. It really does beggar belief.
It seems that HMRC have made the Administrators an offer which would make the Big Tax Case disappear if they were to accept.
The deal would mean that ownership of Ibrox and Murray Park would transfer to HMRC. Henceforth, the stadium would be known as the Inland Revenue Arena – of course, until agreement is reached, it is only Provisional
Said Lizzy to Philip as they sat down to dine, I’ve just had a note from an old friend of mine, his name it is Craig Whyte, he owns my true blues, his letter informs me of terrible news. The Gers have no money they’re going to go bust, Whyte begs me to help them or the club bites the dust, but I can’t stop the taxmen at HMRC, cos I need all the money for my jubilee. I’ll write back to Whyte and wish him good luck, but I want all my taxes you shady wee f**k, that dodgy wee b***ard has pure wrecked my team, now let hell mend them and pass the ice cream!!!
A few good letters in today’s Herald re the demise of the odious ones.. One in particular caught my attention .. As mentioned here…
Murray is quoted as saying ” business is business” in regards to the demise of Airdrie and having to deal with their creditors..
Come on HMRC.. You know you have to pull the plug on this mob….
They re sticking 2 defiant fingers up to anyone that’s not a peepel..
Come on Celtic.. Champions elect…
PF
Yep, according to FF they will wheel out the full repertoire today. The No Surrender brigade could well be up to their knees today again. Stay clear of the city centre tonight ould pal. Ain’t gonna be a safe place.
well bhoys and ghirls, its been a great week. a great week. almost to scared to wander away from the pc in case there a new developments.
roll on hector’s judgement. I might even take the week off work if hector puts the boot in.
can’t be too long now…

Funny how I automatically switched to read that post in “sing mode”. C’mon – you all did didn’t ye?
I have attempted a re-working of The Piranhas lyrics for “Tom Hark” (The Jelly & Ice Cream song). Please feel free to improve them:-
Did you hear about the Rangers from Old Govan Town?
They didnae pay their taxes now they’re going down.
140 years or so of dig-ni-tee,
Now they huvnae got a chanty pot in which to pee.
The whole thing’s great and I know why,
I have to laugh until I cry,
I laugh until it shakes ma belly,
And then I get Ice Cream and Jelly.
Chorus: Jelly and Ice cream
When Rangers Die etc;
The journos say we’ need them for their unique style,
The SPL can’t flourish without their bile,
We’re heading for disaster, but I just don’t care,
Shut your eyes and count to ten (in a row), they won’t be there.
They’re in a state and I know why,
They paid no taxes, they have to die
They waste away like something smelly,
But I stuff masel wi Ice Cream & Jelly
Chorus: Jelly & Ice Cream etc;
Especially for BT
More than a hero to me
strong language
67EuropeanCupWinners,
Tom, I shared some of those wonderful experiences with you. Another amazing night was in Porto when we beat Boavista. My brother said he’d never known me to be so excited.
To all rangers fans in the world, HECTOR’S GONNAE GET YE!!!!
