News that we are after a second Dundee United midfield player will prove popular, Stuart Armstrong has been tipped for progress for a couple of years. He is another Ronny Deila-type player, a strong runner who can get up and down the field. As usual, I’ll reserve judgement until we sign him, and I’ve had a chance to watch him properly.
You have to admire his balls. Dave King assertion that a conviction for tax fraud is a “favourable settlement” goes beyond parody. I’m unsure if some PR flop put those words in his head or if he concocted the notion by himself, but just as you cannot shine a turd, it is impossible to spin an undisputed criminal conviction. He was convicted of criminal offenses. If this is your measure of favourable, your standards are truly deplorable.
I fail to see why King even is discussing such matters with the media, unless he’s currying favour with the Daily Record. These assertions will make no difference whatsoever to the stock market, or any reputable nominated adviser, nor will it hold sway with the SFA. It is also a futile battleground. In the event King gains control of newco Rangers, he doesn’t need to be a director to exercise de facto control, Paul Murray has been his man for years. Mike Ashley is not a director, and he owns less than 9% of the club, but he appears to be able to dictate play quite comfortably.
Without a trace of irony, King told the Record: “The enthusiasm that this board adopts to ‘media management’ and its failure to act in the interest of shareholders and other stakeholders is exactly why they should be jettisoned”.
Trying hard to avoid the merest whiff of media management himself, King then added, “History will judge this board as one of the worst the club has ever had. There is not one individual who puts the club above personal interest.”
There you have it folks, our pal Dave is a man you can trust.
Just as the Newco board didn’t have enough on their plate, interim manager Kenny McDowell tendered his notice, although in true ‘Rangers’ tradition, he’s not going without a pay-off. It’s an added vote of no confidence the regime could do without. They now face the embarrassing prospect of allowing an interim to remain in control as a lame duck, or put a second manager on gardening leave.
Mike Ashley’s prospects of a successful turnaround look bleak in the face of such uniform and orchestrated antagonism. I wonder if he’s the kind of man who takes manipulation lightly? If not, the manipulators are playing with fire.

Great news of yir mammy .hh
If yir financee had any sense she would do a bunk :O)

I noticed that. Chelsea have obviously got more about them than us and a back four who can defend as a unit, and cover each other is a prerequisite in the EPL .
I think this is where RD struggles. His two fullbacks are fine going forward but the system dictates they are often too far forward, and against better teams our centre backs are exposed, sometimes torn apart.
I don’t think VVD would be out of place playing beside Terry Ivanovic and Azpiliqueta every week, especially after 20 games with them.

I wish I shared his friggin bankbook. Lol.

My Mammy has that movie on VHS. She watches it often. I walked in 2 weeks ago at that very song. We both sang it loudly together then hugged in tears.

Folks,
Lets take ourselves back 3 years or so. If someone had said to you then what has unfolded since, you would have told them they were stark raving mad. It’s is the most wonderful thing that could ever have happened and we should never lost perspective. They have been humiliated and utterly decimated beyond all comprehension. Poetic justice of the highest order. And it just keeps on delivering. This is something they can NEVER truly recover from.
I ‘was sitting there thinking’ the same the other day, for a few years knowledgeable bhoys were on here painting a very bleak picture about what would happen to the huns.Never in my wildest dreams, did I think it would be this bad (good) :)).The good news is it will continue for a long, long ,long time to come.HH
Cheers lads.
Am feeling quite good tonight. Someone up there has been looking out for me.
Sky sports news are a disgrace.
The buffoons and cheerleaders up here I understand as they are either too thick to cotton on or just don’t want to. But I’m sitting in disbelief watching a lunatic in a hospital bed auditioning for the Jeremy Kyle show and somehow somewhere the editor of sky sports has ok’d this??!!
And it’s not in isolation SSN have given them and their version of events massive over exposure in the last few years. If we weren’t before scottish football is now an utter joke.
But hey, maybe our club’s board want them back.
Rio Grande??
Its on my My Shows on my Virgin box. Big Victor stole the show as he did in The Quiet Man imo!!
!!Bada Bing!!
I’m a wee bit worried….this humiliation has got to run oot at some point.
That was for you D D.
Right ghuys, cot time for me. KTF.
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
VP-i read you’re not going to Hampden, is the pub a ticket affair that day?
surprise surprise – the daily record print every word CG said in his hospital interview – except ?? aye, the bit about McCoist refusing to take a cut in wages! the love in continues and whats more alarming is the churnalists get a wage for this nonsense!
Oops….
Night Night Timland. KTF.
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.

Spot on. You would get on wi ma mammy. She was an usherette in the Rosevale Picture House in the 50s. Knows the words to all the films of that time. :)
no excuses-i’m sure Challs will get a spot on talksport tomorrow, to pedal more lies.
So do we reckon that “the visit” was arranged by big Mike?
Nice one Mike, especially nº2 – we lost my dad recently to cancer and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
!!Bada Bing!!
Taking the missus away for the day…..don’t want anything to do with it…my choice,and I
hope all our bhoys enjoy an easy victory and get home safe.

The crucial input was the comparison of Easdale and King and King’s unfitness. Easdale is not on TRIFC Board. My best guess is that the SFA considered this and advised he couldn’t. On any fair comparison that should be King fecked. Chas knows all this. I believe the piece was done for the benefit of the SFA because they know why Ogilvie is in there. Chas reminds them all he is a very effective trumpet who can play any tune if the price is right.

MIT-Great double whammy.HH
No Excuses
It’s likely that Chuckles contacted SSN or Jim White himself to arrange the interview himself. If they want to give him airtime fair enough. He set them on the path they are on today and we thank him for it. His lack of shame is such that it’s almost admirable.

a very moving post hope you stay well sir

You do know the clout MA has with Sky.
The cuddly 3 bears are a parochial irrelevance in comparison to Michael the killer shark.
Patter’s been good all night courtesy of Chuck Green.
I liked the one earlier… Green and White give us comedy Gold.
You honestly couldn’t script it. Even the most rational minded Clive Dunn is lying in his kip right now wondering if the whole shebang really is a timmy conspiracy, hatched in the Vatican and orchestrated by Lawwell. Thats what many are trying to brainwash fellow klansmen with.
One poor sevconian a few weeks back on ssb admitted that it’s the last thing he thinks about at night and the first when he wakes up. He probably dreams about it too, and it might even put him off his nuptials with the missus come to think of it.
Poor demented souls.
VP-Never asked you that……..;)
