We now know that Craig Whyte met Neil Doncaster and Ralph Topping, directors of the SPL, in London in October 2011 and informed them of the likelihood that Rangers would go into liquidation. Whyte’s plan, to start a Newco and have it parachuted into top flight football was only taken seriously as a result of these three having a head start on everyone else and doing some preparatory work.
Charles Green has no such plans. If he loses Ibrox, becomes embroiled in IPO-related troubles or fails to bridge the gap between money-in and money-out, an unplanned liquidation could follow with a potentially protracted period where physical assets are moribund and playing assets and other staff are released.
The SPL and SFL would do well to consider ‘what next?’ when they hold separate meetings next week. The century-old ways are gone, things will never be the same again.
I’m really pleased the aforementioned Charlie issued an apology for his offending comments, even if he did so under duress from the SFA. This kind of rhetoric has taken control within football in some European countries. Once the door is open it is hard to close it again.

I have to admit to finding Iris somewhat appealing. However, I realise that’s all wrong on a few levels.

The Irish………hunners and hunners of literary people.
has anyone pointed out that whilst the judge/sheriff with the wee stupid moustache, more or less stated that the Celtic fan couldnt be found guilty on the Polis’s opinion of the fan’s singing – he then offers his opinion on how sectarianism can be wiped out – by getting rid of cathilic schools – and why the feck was this the lead news item on STV.

If I go to the next Gazebo, I want assurances the WHOLE gazebo goes to the next FAC rally. ;))
Remember I’m shy. :) but it is Thursday NIGHT and ShowTime.
If anyone videoed any of the other speeches, can you please send them to us or upload them and send us a link?

‘They love us so much, they want us to come to the same schools as them”
– HarryFathersham
If you read the lyrics phonetically to “Let’s call the whole thing off’ by Ira Gershwin, you will conclude, as Stephen Fry did, that there is nothing wrong with this relationship.” You say potato and I too echo, potato. You say tomato and I too thought of the same thing. We are, in fact, in perfect harmony and have no need to call things off. That’s what happens when you read stuff that needs to be sung or speechified or chanted.
A speech read in your own monotone cadence, especially if you lack an understanding of nuance, can come across much different than how it was delivered.
Of the 3 speeches at George Square, I would evaluate them as follows:-
1) Mr. McCann’s speech: He had the most difficult job as the warm up man and he had to quell a restless crowd with a strong desire to join in and disrupt his flow. His speech was, to be honest, a bit formulaic and Spartish, but still managed to strike home in the middle and concluding parts. He did a sterling job at a hard time and got most of the facts across, leaving the others room to do the rhetoric. 7 out of 10 from me; a brave effort, and I do not know or care what his background was because he chose not to advertise or promote any particular sectional interest other than the GB, Celtic fans and football fans in general.
2) Mr. McMahon: Very pleased with this low key effort. The MSP restricted himself to issuing a warning as to the crowd maintaining good behaviour and not treating the police as they treated us, and to advocating parliamentary opposition (not Labour Party opposition) to this Act of Parliament (not specifically, to the SNP). He gets 8 out of 10 from me for being commendably brief and for resisting the strong impulse to make party political gain on this issue.
3) Jeanette Findlay- By all common consent of those present, the best speech of the day. She rode on the factual information of Mr. McCann and the emphasis on organised opposition from Mr. McMahon to make a punchy, rabble rousing speech that sent the crowds out of the square singing and in a good mood. No external politics were promoted, no political party was shamed; the target was the Act and the Act got it. 10 out of 10 from all present.
The Celtic family at George Square did not need a lot more than this 30 to 40 minute spell. They were already aware of most of the facts. As with most most demos we were playing to the cameras and we did it well, with good humour, singing and absolutely no aggression.
I am not surprised that some are disappointed it did not turn out differently.

Thatchers dead
Now thats something
But who did she die for ?
It seems the corpse has life in it
That will run and run
Disgusting that a public purse of 10 million is paying for that woman’s funeral ! Her son is a disgraced multi millionaire who can more than afford to contribute to his own mothers send off !! I pray that this Government look to the plight of the Syrian people first as they need assistance and immediate help and donate the money to them ! Let the lovers of her and her polices donate to her funeral and give her the send off they think she deserves !! We can’t help the dead but we can help the living !!
