Being there

1087

I’m sure many of you will remember the home game against Dundee in April 2001. We needed a win to be able to secure the title the following week, at home, against St Mirren. After the game Martin O’Neill sounded irritated at the anxiety in the crowd, oblivious to the fact that the loss of a late goal would have denied many of us the opportunity to be there when the title was won.

If you’ve been there for the highs (Aberdeen) and lows (Kilmarnock) of the league season you’ve earned a ticket to the party. Let’s hope the SPL deliver a home game next, as reported.

Apologies for the extended downtime yesterday. Plans are afoot for five new servers to load-balance CQN (which sounds a lot right now but we’ve had similar thoughts before).

Let the record show that the death of Margaret Thatcher brought CQN down longer than when Rangers did the decent thing. Was hearing the news a ‘JFK moment’? I was in the wee room at the time, a treat for all the senses, so I’m not sure how my memory will handle the situation…. mostly audio.

    The offside had nothing to do with that phase of the goal. When the ball was played in from the free kick leading up to that end play, 4 Dortmund players, including the one who headed it, were offside.

  5. Been busy tonight, but, after watching Scotland Tonight, when tf is somebody call this abolition of a “football club” (no offence intended.) to task. They have conned so many people out of £100000s of revenue in their “oldco” being, but are still conning businesses out of even more of their funds. Who the f@@@ is going to stand up to this cancer on society?

  6. Just watched the STV Interview with Charles Green. At the end I was thinking he is actually delusional, detached from reality.

     

     

    Then Tom English and Chris Graham. When asked what this might mean for Rangers Tom concentrated on its effect on the support (a headbreaker?) but the real impact has to be what BDO make of it all (not to mention plod).

     

    Chris Graham just mirrored what Tom decsribed and I do not mean that unkindly.

     

     

    I’ll say it again, they need to drop the attachment to a toxic Ibrox and the hold it gives spivs over the club and start again ground sharing.

    My paranoia is on high alert. I fear the turning on Whyte is part of the latest plan. Let the 2 patsies Whyte & Green fight their personal battle over ownership of Sevco for the next 10 years in the courts.

     

     

    Meanwhile, for the good of the game in general, there will be a plea to let Rangers (phase 3) start from scratch in SPL 2 and playing out of Hampden at a peppercorn rent until the court case gets sorted out.

     

     

    Debt free and with money men on board, could you not make a third Rangers competitive within Scottish football inside a couple of years? They will claim they have no relation with the previous shameful periods but still claim the good parts of the history (mostly the titles). The word will go out that innocent fans have suffered enough and these clean white(and blue) knights need to be given every helping hand going.

     

     

    They are shameless people.

  15. I still have a wee sneeky feeling that Cowdenbeath will figure this summer, Auldheid will confirm the morra for me.

     

     

    He reckons Hampdump, I reckon Fife, what’s the odds ?????????

  16. CRC – meant 3rd conceded – oops!

     

     

    sftb – correct, but TV pundits / commentators annoy me with lack of knowledge of Laws of the Game, and they were obsessed by the position of the Dortmund #23 when he scored.

     

     

    Ray Wilkins said Malaga’s 2nd goal was offside because the ball was passed forward – bollox. And just watched it again on ITV highlights – scorer may have been level with ball when it was played?

     

     

    Making no comment on the refereeing, to be clear, just the Laws of the Game.

  17. Tim Malone Will Tell on

    Auldheid,

     

     

    It’s almost funny – the lack of any meaningful probing by the MSM and the unquestioning acceptance of the drivel Green talks only feeds his lunacy to the extent that he feels invincible and can say what he likes and get away with it. He increasingly reminds me of one of those sad unfortunates that walk the streets ranting at anybody that passes them by.

     

     

    Only in Scotland and only for the huns…

    EDB – we’re good mate. Looking forward to a wee holiday in Portugal in a few weeks time for some spring sunshine.

     

    How’s things with you at the moment? You’ve got my e-mail address!

    I have generally kept away from posting anything regarding the Zombies over re past year and have been content to lurk as I have felt I have little to add to the contributions of those who have clearly done their homework on the issue

     

     

    It seems quite clear there is a major sea change going on with the MSM whose fawning adulation of ole Big-Hands has rather abruptly hit the buffers.

     

     

    Is this because Challah is in cahoots wi Craigy-Bhoy and they don’t want to look like planks a second time?

     

     

    Is there a ‘Known Unknown’ on the go?

     

     

    An ‘Unknown Unknown’??

    Thanks for getting back to me. Things are fine just now. The Mrs is on her way home from Il Divo and Katherine Jenkins just now.

     

     

    Me and older daughter were at Meat Loaf on Sunday night. Broadly similar music tastes:o)

    Charles wants to downsize everything

     

    White thinks he must be running out of cash so wants to get in quick

     

    White has given taped conversations to STV

     

    STV are trying to tease Green into retreat

     

    It has to happen slowly while some other mob get some kind of package together

     

    The zombies will not die

     

    For that to happen rules would need applied

  23. embramike

     

     

    I agree the pundits were poor. The 2nd Malaga goal was dubious. I think, with the benefit of a TV view that Elisieu was offside but it was a much closer call than they made it out to be.

     

     

    Still glad that Dortmund won. I believe Malaga are one of those zombie clubs who, to their credit, sport a slightly different name than their club that died.
