Blood on the brogues

1366

The resignation of Charles Green from his post as Rangers International chief executive last month was more curious for what it wasn’t – a resignation from the board.  Green retained his position as a director of the club.  This was always likely to have consequences.

BBC report this morning that club chairman, Malcolm Murray, who media outlets loyal to Green reported innuendo against earlier this year, in what was viewed as an attempt to discredit and ultimately remove him, yesterday lost a vote of confidence at a board meeting.

I am certain the vote of confidence was called by Murray himself after he informed the board, including Charles Green, of how he intends to deal with the important matters surrounding the club at this time.  In particular, what he plans to do with information received from Pinsent Masons and forensic accountants from Deloitte.  The investigation underway by Pinsents and Deloittes is only taking place at the insistence of Murray.

The innuendo against Murray was inappropriate and part of a dirty tricks campaign against the man by those who do not have Rangers best interests at heart [the irony is searing].  The normal reaction to losing a vote of confidence is to resign and let your opponents deal with the consequences of their actions.  Murray may feel he has done all he can for the club (or company, if that is how some would like to start calling the entity now). Those who invested in Craig Whyte’s various claims last month will enormously encouraged.

On Friday I’ll be joined by Phil Mac Giolla Bhain and Paul McConville at the Columba Club, Blantyre, for what is certain to be an enjoyable Question and Answer event.  Tickets, £5 each, for the Columba Charitable Fund, are available at the door.  I’m really looking forward to it.  See you there.

    surreal, JM looked more Jamsie cotter in his denim that Tony does.

     

     

    your know the cup final with the worst of sectarian singing.

     

     

    maybe JM didnt hear it.

     

     

     

     

    Yes, maybe he couldn’t hear it for the two pencils in his ears and or the underpants on his head.

    Who will pick the interview panel that will that will appoint the Head of the new league body that could well be a fix to get Longmuir.

  8. !!Bada Bing!! on

    Willie Collum will referee the 2013 Scottish Cup Final between Celtic and Hibernian at Hampden Park.

  9. Saint Stivs on

    hibs will win the scottish cup.

     

     

    a controversial refereeing decision will either award them or penalise celtic.

     

     

    i am so sure i am going to bet on it.

    Your blogging name would suit me better.I tried to book a room in hamilton £69,I had a look at it and decided to book when I pressed book,anothercompany easytobook.com came up with a drop in price of a £5er so I pressed this button and it went through and I booked the roomFilled out the details bank & address,and I managed to book a room in 232 Victoria st Hamilton New Zealand. And it gets worse???.

  11. Starry…wait, there’s more…:)

     

     

    Goal-line officials will be used for the first time in Scottish domestic football at this season’s Scottish Cup final.

     

     

    Willie Collum, who will officiate in the showpiece for the first time in his career, will be supported by five additional assistant referees at the Hibernian and Celtic match on Sunday, May 26.

     

     

    Willie Conquer and Martin Cryans will act as assistant referees, with Alan Mulvanny taking the role of fourth official.

     

     

    Behind the goals, John Beaton and Bobby Madden will provide additional support in a role regularly deployed in UEFA club competitions.

    Pity it wasn’t hamilton ontario – you could have visited my brother

     

     

    He could have stayed at my house if that was the case.

     

     

    Just cancel Oldtim and rebook easy peasy.

     

    My # is a good un.

  16. When it comes to establishing the Celtic Museum on the old school ground would it not be an idea to accomodate a small non denom chapel for supporters to visit and remember and thank the departed family members who made us Celtic supporters?

     

    Any nays?

    You mentioned that recently and it’s a great idea. I reckon such a place at the ground would also attract overseas visitors during CL nights.

     

     

    Hopefully someone from CP is looking in.

    I tried to cancel it, but couldn’t find out where the cancellation button was, but I remembered I saw a comments page but I had to go through the rigmarole of booking again which I done, I wrote a comment about booking a room in New Zealand instead of Hamilton Scotland. I asked If they would cancel my booking.I received an e-mail with a booking for another room, so that’s two rooms I have in some far flung outback in New Zealand. I ended up sending an e-mail Cancelling the two bookings.They’ll kill themselves laughing with the mail I sent them.I hope the e-mail works.

    Bobby Madden behind a goal at the final ??

     

     

    Geez , we ll need about ten goals just to have a shout.

     

     

    He ll have a laser pen in Big Frasers eyes…

     

     

    There ll be a world record of penalties awarded to Hibs..

     

     

     

    Actually , things are so bad and biased it becomes funny- in a hysterical sort of way !

  26. Bobby Madden…I can see him running on and kicking the ball off the Hibs goal-line if required. Lenny better watch out lots of officials out to get him, they’ll probably kettle him!

    Not sure, seems very ecumenical to me. As Politics are driven hard to the very Centre. Fundamentalists are marginalised a lot further.

     

    Not saying “I AM” against it auldheid. Far from it.

     

     

    Redefining Christianity is an age old, New tenet.

  29. Saint Stivs on

    if it was a proper fight between the 6 oddities that want to be sfa officials and our Lenny , my money is on the Lurgan bhoy.

     

     

    they al hide behind their whistles.

  30. Oldtim67, should have added, will also happily take you through ? We can arrange through TBJ
