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.

German Media guy on tSPORT – 4 major mistakes by officials tonight.
+++++
1. Appointing a useless ref.
2. Appointing a useless near-side assistant.
3. Appointing a useless far-side assistant.
4. Appointing useless goal-line assistants (technically that’s two mistakes).
Reckon that about covers it.

Take care hermano.

SFTB,
I can see that scenario possibly being played out but there are a lot of legal unknowns so hard to see it happening immediately. When all is said and done, Whyte owned Oldco and Green + accomplices own Sevco Scotland- so hard to see how ThirdCo can just pop up out of nowhere and acquire assets like badges etc.
I have supported Celtic’s silent response to events unfolding – but I do think that some spurious Thirdco being lobbed into the equation and presented as “Rangers” will be a step too far.
Although maybe The Rangers tie up is with “Dallas” rather than the “Dallas Cowboys” – and Sportscene will start with Ally McCoist stepping out of the shower, telling us that we just collectively dreamt the last two years?

Good roundup of the events of today.
Might add sally supposedly hooked green.lol
setting free the bears
Also glad Dortmund won – Malaga are supported by crowds of ex-pat English (criminals?). Anyway enough about Craig Thomson’s performance, Craig Whyte playing a stormer. And Challis couldn’t be digging a bigger hole with the world’s biggest JCB than tonight on STV late (which I normally never watch).
Deja vu I fear, and BDO and HMRC are waiting in the wings ! WIth the weather getting warmer this weekend (honest) better get a supply of jelly and ice cream in just in case !
Glasgow’s “Green and Whyte” alright …
Dunno where to start with this
Apologies for long post – taken from BBC website
Premier League club chairmen Dave Whelan and Sir John Madejski want football to mark the death of Baroness Thatcher with a one-minute silence.
The former prime minister died in London on Monday, aged 87, after suffering a stroke.
The Premier League and Football League will not be asking clubs to mark Lady Thatcher’s death at their upcoming fixtures.
“We owe Mrs Thatcher a minute’s silence,” Whelan told BBC Sport.
As well as Premier League and Football League games this weekend, the FA Cup semi-finals take place at Wembley, which come under the auspices of the Football Association. Whelan’s Wigan meet Millwall on Saturday.
It is understood the Football Association has no plans at present to mark Lady Thatcher’s death.
“It is not my decision, it is for the FA to decide, but I would be in favour of wearing an armband out of respect to Mrs Thatcher,” Whelan said. “We have to say thank you very much for the services the former PM has given us.”
And Reading chairman Madejski told BBC Radio 5 live: “We have got to appreciate that Margaret Thatcher was a world leader who did so much for this country. So much that she deserves a minute’s silence.
“The funeral’s going to take place at St Paul’s attended by the Queen and Prince Philip so I think it would be a fitting tribute from the world of football to Margaret Thatcher, one of our greatest leaders.”
However Reading later said they were already planning to hold a minute’s silence before Saturday’s home fixture against Liverpool – to mark the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
A club spokesman said: “With the game falling two days before the 24th anniversary of the tragedy, plans began last week for a fitting tribute to the 96 supporters who lost their lives.
“The Royals contacted Liverpool FC and spoke to the Premier League earlier today and they of course agreed it was absolutely correct to pay respect on such an occasion.”
Lady Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990 and Whelan admitted he had huge admiration for her.
“Mrs Thatcher was a very, very special lady and a very special prime minister,” he said.
“After Winston Churchill, we have probably had two or three really good PMs and she was definitely one of those. I only met her once and I just thought she was a fantastic lady, the country could do with another lady, another PM who can do what she did. We shall sadly miss her.”
One-minute silences were not held in the Premier League when former Prime Ministers James Callaghan and Edward Heath died, although respects were paid after the death of the Queen Mother. It will be left to individual clubs to decide whether they want to pay tribute.
Whelan said he could not understand why large sections of the population, especially in the north of England, did not want to mark her death.
But Madejski, a high-profile donor to the Conservative Party in the past, said: “Obviously I can appreciate that perhaps some people won’t pay attention to it [a minute’s silence] which is sometimes the way at football but I just think she was such a colossus in terms of the world stage that she deserves that respect from the whole nation.
“No colossus like that strides the world’s stage without disenfranchising people at some stage or another however the positive things that Margaret Thatcher achieved for our country speaks volumes and I think that outshines things that might not be considered so brilliant like the poll tax and so on.”
Manchester United opted not to have a one-minute’s silence prior to Monday’s derby defeat by Manchester City and Whelan, who was travelling back from a holiday in Barbados at the time, said he disagreed with that view.
Margaret Thatcher’s former sports minister, Richard Tracey, shared that view and told 5 live: “Frankly I think it’s rather cheap that they decided not to show any sort of respect for her, because, to be honest, she did really deliver what football is today, particularly with the Taylor report, (external) and the all-seater stadia.
“Football was in a bad way when she was prime minister, and we saw all the changes in her time, and they should pay tribute to that.”
I reckon its more likely that the Myth is at Ibrox because he was (a) blackmailed & (b) promised a wedge.
tmwt, sftb
I will repeat my opinion from earlier, THEY are a cancer on our society, never mimd our football association, and the sooner they are confined to the annals of history, the better. Though, I will not be holding my breath.

Having been duped on a previous two occasions it seems like the Hun minions are on the verge of being duped again ! They have spent the last 10 months rewriting history claiming lawell agendas kicking us when were down kicked in the head every one against us sfl sfa !! Well well how right we were again stupid stupid Huns ! The Enemy was Within all along ! We told you but in your typically arrogant elitist way you denied the facts and the truth ! Once a mistake two pure stupidity but a third time you are beyond redemption bye bye !
Good lord. After watching the CG interview on STV+1. This guy was definitely a miner. He can sure dig holes. Long may he continue at The Ranjurs.
Had a final peep at RM before bed, all is changed over there. A couple of weeks ago anyone who said a bad word about Green was a Taig, now its open season on him. Its like watching a bad soap show but one thing I now feel sure about, Green is finished. All of us here could see he was a conman but they in their desperation clung to him like drowning men. At last reality has hit the stupid Huns, next year they will be cheering The Sevco.
Green & Whytes Fenian army!!!!! Like that me does. o)
Malaga owners claiming that the Scots officials were racist in their handling of their game!
Wanna see the the look that guy gave English at the end. And big John the bear emitted some strange sound that sounded like his spleen rupturing.

Green was done up like a kipper tonight on Scotland Tonight. The interviewer was only a young fella but showed no deference
The transcript has been posted earlier
It was a tumbleweed moment. More devastating was the blank look on Challs face as the interview unfolded
It seemed to say
“I’ve been rumbled”
David prowse
Graham couldnt help himsel
The anti-Irish/Fenian/Timmy contempt just oozed out of every pore
He’s a hurting Hun
ttt
Sectarian maybe?

Dynamite …..excellent bedtime viewing ……. It is obvious to me that everything greengo has said and done has been to maximise his pension pot…..He has tried to shaft Whyte, and Whyte is retaliating…. His behaviour is fraudulent and he has just destroyed sevco ….. The shareholders will be furious since his plan is now exposed and falling apart ….. There is no return from this …… He can forget SB revenue, surely……. Armaggedon….where are my sedatives……
yep squire, that is what the Huns themselves are saying. The only question is why did it take so long to find a fellow with the baws to stand up to him. Personally I think t’would be better for us if a discredited Green could hang on in there as long as possible. Money lost will take a lot of replacing, the longer he stays the more they will lose. Ashley for one will now surely reconsider any further investment in a totally discredited brand. Great times to be a Tim.
Over on FF they are slaughtering Green over the STV interview and agreeing with English! They also say that the interviewer is a “good bluenose” (that puzzles me, how did Jabba let this happen?)
Something stinks in the state of Denmark (sic)
The hunfest infestation on wednesday may be in jeopardy now as Chuckles may have to introduce his gaffer to the gullible peepil of servconia !!! FACT no one at IPox has defended chuckles or denied the allegations that whyte has worked them like a Mathew Corbett puppet ! Whyte is not the only one who has been shafted by Charlaton !! Stupid stupid Servconians ! Anyone fur jello n a pokey hat !!!!
Right what about this for a paranoid theory…
Walter is in with Blue Knights, has been all along….
working from inside, wins Greens confidence, turns Malcolm Murray and now 2 real Rangers men can take their time to get a plan together…
Plan is to get Green nervous, make him down size massively to make White twitchy and smoke him out (thinking he needs to take what he can get, looking at all the cuts from afar).
Green & White expose themselves as liars and cheats and they get made to look ridiculous. Then the play is to make them an offer as an easy way out ( a pay off each or fan revolt with threats etc etc). Both get a pay off to sign the lot over to the BK and SPL2 is a reality, this has been another play of the Knights, blue or otherwise. Rangers are back in business with ‘proper Rangers men’ at the helm and normal service is resumed, debt free.

You could see the contempt!
Richie. that big John fella is a Hun, also reads the news.. Don’t know about the young lad that hung Green out to dry. Seems like he’s out to make a name for himself. Still laughing at Green. Wonder what other audio awaits us!! Seems like Whyte was recording the lot!!!
D P
Dont you dare mention the miners in the same breath as that shyster. Apologize now.!!!
corkcelt
I agree but there is a distinct seachange taking place
Green’s, and more than likely Sevco’s days are numbered – the issue is what zombified creation is up next on the Gong Show, and who is involved??
They could ground share with the Jags, although I don’t know if they’d settle for a stadium that doesn’t have a hover pitch, or casino.
When does the Sevco 3 season book request come out and their new share issue prospectus lol lol ! Next years games are played on the pavements requiring a 28 day notice of intent subject to possible Kettling tactics from mr plod! Game to be screened live from the helicopter surveillance camera ! Might catch on !
OOoppps! Apologies to all miners! He’s forever harping on about ‘bein miner dann pitts’
Dave Prowse
They were defo referring to the youngster who grilled Green
…..sorry, David not Dave!
Richie.
Really? You’d never have guessed. Maybe it was his spleen i heard rupturing! :)
Super Ally must know whats happening, his press conference and his support for his backroom staff would normally mean that all 3 would be sacked in the morning.
But now the fans talk of Ally out and the complete lack of football being played will now all be going on Green.
How are they going to sell any season tickets on the back of this!
Momtenlanco pmsl ! What you doin yer giving them an outball ! Jabba will be onit first thing tomorrow lol !
