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.

    Have you figured out yet how to use Pyathagoras right-handed triangles with numbers raised to the power 4?

    If there was ever a creditable invasion of Ireland by the Germans, they Britain would have pre-empted it; and vice-versa.

  4. Afternoon Celts,

  6. BBC Scotland “the turmoil at Rangers continues”. Rther an undrstatement, I would have thought, especially as the Stock Exchange hasn’t been informed that Murray lost his vote of no confidence. Yes, it gets better by the hour.

  7. BT can you txt me where club is for Friday or postcode mate.

     

     

    Hope the leg is getting better.

    One of the SNP zombie supporters on the Planning Committee this morning during the Celtic application asked if the Celtic Superstore would pose a competition threat to Asda and Tesco in the area.

     

     

    He looked a bit embarrassed when told that the Celtic Superstore would only sell Celtic merchandise and not food and drink good to see the SNP can still do their wee bit for deidco

    ‘Ernie – I’m elevating the responsibility these deserters had to protect their people over any and every other cause.’

     

     

     

    People who volunteered to fight in Spain said they were going to fight fascism in Spain because if they didn’t they would have to fight it at home.

     

     

    Fascism was the real threat to the Irish.

     

     

    The Irish state’s treatment of those of its citizens who went and fought fascism in WW2 was shameful. Pardoning army deserters would go some way to right that wrong.

    As ole Kirk Numbnuts might say, you can’t make an omelette without brogue-in’ a few eggs.

    ” Nazi atrocities were not widely known .”

     

     

    I can’t vouch for The Free State but anybody who listened to BBC Radio from the autumn of 1941 onwards was being given regular information about the Nazis. Same thing applies to people who read The London Times , same thing applies to people who listened to Churchill’s radio broadcasts

    then it would be nice if every Celtic Supporter (not already committed to a 125 fund raiser) who breathes the ethos and who can afford 125 pence, or multiples of, gets in touch with you and donates what little they can just to help whoever we can help in the name of Kano.

     

     

    I’m so pleased with your decision not to promote a list.

    Just seen Sally McCoist and wee Snatcho Novo gallop past me on horses wearing cowboy hats!!!!

     

     

    Right that’s it folks, i’m off to watch Brogue back mountain!

  15. Day shift is becoming as bad as the night shift here in CQN-land. Memo to self – read the article then leave. No good comes of reading the comments…

  18. Saw the 1254125 being mentioned..

     

     

    What events are coming up on this ?

     

     

    I know of the huddle at ben nevis ..anything else planned ?

     

     

    I still think this is an amazing idea and great way not only to help alot of people but also raise the profile of our club and the foundations in which it was built.

     

     

    Anyone any idea of how many registered csc’s we have throughout the world ?

     

     

    Im sure it would be pretty easy for celtic to contact them all and ask each one (or do it by area, example all belfast csc’s have 1 big event, Dublin csc’s etc etc) to hold fundraiser and all proceeds go to the 1254125 commitiee. I think an enourmous amount of money could be raised.

     

     

    From desperation came celebration

     

     

    And glasgow celtic was the name

    Before you go buying any of those books I recommended, if you’re only going to buy one book, buy this one:

     

     

    In Time of War by Robert Fisk. I have put so many page marks in that book I might as well just read it again and again and again.

     

     

    If not that one, then Irelands Unknown Soldiers.

    Ra Bommur……….when he went “off-message”……..?

     

     

    You’ve guessed it –
