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.

What a player that Sterling is …..!!!!
Zico, Big Gills rings a bell. James Campbell ( Cammy) ran about with her. Don’t attend games due to work but quite often in McChuills if I’m through later on a Saturday.
Sadiesbhoy, Nae brothers mate, just a big, good lookin sister.
Can’t believe I’ll miss the game tomorrow night…..
Just saw highlights late last nyt of the aberdeen dundee game..looked great match.

proudbhoy,
Man City did the CQN coupon for a right few bob.
However I have to admit to cashing out just as the City game KO’d and won a few quid so not complaining.
Also took the 6 Saturday teams on the CQN coupon and won then too.
Followed up by winning a couple quid on the NFL Championship games too.
Not wanting to rub it in, but was my best weekends betting in about a year or so ;-)
HAIL! HAIL!

I am none the wiser at the moment,I will get back to you soon with more names I know that your sister might remember.
Was she in 2nd year when All Saints first opened.
HH
Can’t get the Sunday Herald in Ireland so I hope that my money was well spent and that the words that I won’t see are relevant. Maybe post them on here for us non residents?
Like I said Zico, the clue is in my 2nd initial. Quite a few well know entertainers past and present have the same , short surname ;). She was at St Augustine for 1st year before going to AS in 2nd year. You probably don’t know me if you’re from Balornock area.

Love here about people beating the bookies… i did my usual again.. 50 on couple of singles and doubles .. upto 250 and then throw most of it on treble and lose
Been doing it all season.. need to keep at singles when i get up to few hundred.. get greedy sadly.
Man city did mate for 500.. but he did throw 50 on arsenal just b4 the game so got 200 back.
Coneybhoy,
Im sure the advert was posted on here in the last 2 weeks or so. Sorry I dont have a link to it, but i think it is safe to say it will definitely be reproduced on here (and no doubt all across the Timternet) come Sunday.
HAIL! HAIL!

Happy birthday mhate

hail hail
Proudbhoy,
cheers mate!
As you say it is always good to hear of the bookies taking a beating. Happens all to infrequently however.
Its a nightmare at times as you know you should take the easy option, but inevitably end up chasing the bigger payout….and losing! probably thats why winning always seems so much sweeter. :-)
I think City done a few coupons at the weekend. I had considered laying them and betting Arsenal/draw @ 11/10, and would have done so but i had the cash-out option available so didnt need to.
I think Everton must have been the biggest bogey team this season though. I wont touch them again this season thats for sure.
Hope you have better luck this weekend.
HAIL! HAIL!

Your sister would have went to St.Aloysius Primary first before going to St.Augustines.
If she did she would have known big Gills and my other wee pal Brian McCluskey.
I think I have got your second initial now.ex Celtic player?.
I will ask big Gills.HH
Last clue Zico. Her first name is also a boys. ….good wee game this eh?

Aye threw 50 on everton then to try get my money back.. they are well due a win.
If only baines had of hit that penalty
This time next year we’ll be millionaires anyway
So Ashley is doing a proof of concept retail business plan with broke sevco to manipulate the bottom broke 10 EPL’rs with an analogous long term plan.
Yup any contrived keech to justify hunnery. Some downfall.
Whose the next Jason Campbell?
OMG.
Obama in the state of the union address basically just claimed that Global warming is a fact.

Cold this morning!
Minus 5 on the drive to the airport.
Take care out there!

jg,
Go safe
BMCUWP before I left home I got the full dress Celtic kilt and bottle green jacket along with the baby seal willy warmer and shoes wi long laces. Wear it with pride every chance I get , don’t own a suit but the Kilt fills in nicely anytime its formal. I travelled with a cheaper rougher looking kilt than the lidl’s one and it got me a few places and had a lot of fun. Long before wearing a kilt was back in. Love it when I see the fabily wedding photo’s and all the tartan, even when it is that oldco one. Must be a sevco version coming out soon Green and white with a touch of Ash.
Up at half4 to get to airport for 7am flight. Time was tight so spent a fiver to go thro speedy boarding. Ran thro from security to be met with the message ‘delayed till 10.45’.
Don’t even have energy to say Grrrrrr
ZzzzzzzzzCSC
