I’m pleased to read Ronny Deila ask for patience with Nadir Ciftci, the player needs a bit of support right now. Had Nadir knocked a goal or two in against our Icelandic opponents, Stjarnan, he would have been in a different zone at the moment, but he missed a few chances – not uncommon among players newly arrived at a club, and has since found opportunities limited by a domestic suspension.
Dundee United started training after Celtic, so Nadir was behind the curve during those games against Stjarnan. Without a full 90 minutes in a month, he will still have ground to make up when we resume after the international break, but he’ll hopefully feel the benefit of the work he’s put in on the training field in recent weeks.
Remember the Jock Stein Charity Match, which takes place at East End Park, Dunfermline on Sunday, kick-off 2pm. There’s a host of former players are playing, including Tom Boyd, Chris Sutton, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, Neil Lennon and Stiliyan Petrov, while several from the Hollywood set are also playing, including James McAvoy, Martin Compston and Gianni Capaldi.
Funds from the event go to the Celtic and Dunfermline Foundations. You can pay at the gate to mark the 30th anniversary of Jock’s passing. There’s going to be a lot of memories on that field.
Three years after football fans in Scotland became experts in insolvency law, we now have to become familiar with Serious Organised Crime (I had to look up what it was today). The Scottish Government suggest it involves “drugs, human trafficking and fraud”.
Fraud is one of the small number of crimes where a life imprisonment sentence can be imposed on someone convicted of the crime in Scotland (it carries a maximum of 10 years in England). Even if you were 100% innocent of all charges and the possibility of contamination from dubious characters, the sheer scale of the matters in hand would be an enormous worry.
My hunch is that conspiracies and criminal plans to subvert information are difficult to maintain under the weight of these charges.
I’ve been looking all morning but cannot find what I’m searching for. Does anyone know of an enterprise which operates in the shadow of a Serious Organised Crime investigation which has been able to raise money which didn’t come from the proceeds of Serious Organised Crime?
I’m sure the audit will be just fine.

Chairbhoy on 4th September 2015 10:51 am Wonder if Craig Whyte regrets parting with that pound…
Noticed in the BDO statement t’uther day to Rangers creditors that The floating charge over Ibrox and Murray Park that was once the BoS then Lloyds’ has raised it’s head.
Of course CW always maintained he held this charge when Lloyds were paid off.
It seems to be contested by BDO.
It will be interesting to see how legitimate it is, it’s also interesting that it’s taken so long for the claim to be tabled.
But CW has no luck, no sooner has this claim being tabled, which, I would imagine, if upheld, could go a long way to assist Craig to untangle the web that the Rangers debacle got him into – Than he’s arrested – nae luck.
————————————————————————–
I read that BDO statement the other day. What I took from it was that a claim had been raised by Law Financial (or whatever they’re called) that suggests they have priority over all unsecured creditors due to the debenture they (allegedly) acquired. BDO had asked for the full detail of the claim to be formalised and submitted. They had not received this and therefore went to the court to get a time limit placed on this claim. If there’s no formalised by 4 Sept. then BDO will go back to court to ask for it to be excluded. Law Financial would then have 2 weeks to appeal and if they fail then BDO can proceed by ignoring this claim and issuing money to the existing list of creditors.
BDO sound confident the claim is not legitimate…but the fat lady hasn’t yet sung.

Actually no. My argument is well and truly afloat and has sadly bobbed along since the advent of socialism as a political concept!
Show me a truly socialist nation?
The reality of life, commerce, industry and humankind complicate this fine theory to the point that it can never exist in a pure form.
Best we can hope for is a benign capitalist system with high levels of state support and provision guaranteed for all citizens. And a ‘flat’ system of power and wealth where PMs go to work on public transport, not Jags on the way to the palace.

I would go along with Barcabhoys thoughts on what happened in Malmo, kinda the way I was thinking, and he puts it well.
ARD MACHA
Unbelievable!
As I said to you both last night,the stars are aligning for that one,too many coincidences and ‘small world’ moments.
I mean,apart from what you’ve mentioned,he’s an Ayrshire Tim-who will be meeting the rest of us a coupla nights before 10/10 for the Scotland match-and his girlfriend knows DENA29!
Delighted you can relax about your trip,mate. Chill out and show yer lad some of the historic attractions of Amsterdam(!)
So according to Phil, Big Mikes getting loaded up for Bear? Scuse the pun.
TD
Agree too.
We had a good enough team to beat Malmo.
Their 2nd and 4th goals in the tie were ones I’d expect us to prevent.
And regardless of the shape and system played in the return leg – which I accept was probably flawed – way too many ghuys were poor on the night.

A wee question on the china claim,
Some of the “official” sites identify the china poverty to be at 33% yet others put a number to it at 82M when you consider the population of china being at around the 1Billion roughly which are we to believe ?
I know which will be spouted by capitalists to enforce their claims we also know there can be no accurate or definitive figure as like all other countries the national govt will try and play the figure down while their adversaries play the figures up.
Using the 82M then proportionally the USA has a higher figure, using the 33% China is higher the point is though, that the crown of capitalism has an unacceptably high proportion of people living below the poverty line a figure that is increasing with no strategy to reduce, to claim their way of life is a better example of how countries should govern themselves or force other countries to govern themselves. In fact for me it betrays the opposite, that they have time and again prove they have nothing to offer.

Thanks for the reply .
Rules/ regulations don’t seem to apply to any of the clubs playing out of the Bigot Dome , the fear of violence from the clan stops anyone holding them to account .
Auldheid–Belamadena, Costa Del Sol? I’m there a couple of times a year ,just up the road in Carvajal. We were looking at an apaartment in Belamadena, but at my age I’d probably get 10 years out of it. I can borrow a friend’s in Carvajal nearly anytime I want. Next time I plan to take in a La Liga match in Malaga.
NATKNOW @ 11:10 AM,
Thanks for the update…
I know it’s a big if, but if it was upheld it would just effect BDO and the creditors of The Rangers Football Club PLC – not the current operation from Ibrox?

So it seems mate. Sad state of affairs if that’s the case.
Europe punters streaming across the borders to escape all this wonderful American visitors to their countries…
Oh and I’m becoming less convinced that democracy is the fairest form of government or way to select a government. The Greek version required the electorate to be intelligent enough to vote, intelligence is not a condition of voting is it :)

Well, the claim under dispute possibly relates to assets that now appear to be getting used by the celestial entity over in Govan. So I guess it’s possible there might be some kind of knock-on. But it’s such a tangled web and the information required to disentangle is not fully in the public domain…so who really knows for sure?!
There’s a number of people on this blog much better qualified and informed and far more able than me to answer that one!
Canamalar
That’ll be proved in November when the ‘Mericans vote for The Haircut That Time Forgot!
Before the USA decided it was a lousy place there were very very few streaming across borders, the USA were told by their Zionist and Arab masters they wanted a regime change so war was declared, and the same clowns dare quote democracy as a motive.
MACJAY
Have you ever read anything about the current State of Mexico?
No offence,but life there is untenable. The U.S. offers life and hope. No doubt you’ll politicise that,but most aren’t escaping to a capitalist dream,they are escaping. Period.

Thanks, for the reply, at least this action has got a timescale on it, these things seem to drag on.
Hail Hail
The ethos that our club was founded on is sadly lost on many these days.

Did you see the clip posted on here where Green and Whyte are escorted out of court ( front entrance ) into the waiting clan , just before Green ( I think ) gets into car someone tries to land a blow .
Do you think anyone was arrested or had their door knocked in the early hours , no me neither .
That only seems to happen if you sing a song that offends imaginary people .

i suggest to the Capitalists and Socialists on here to have a look at distributism. It is the most sensible political idea out there, so consequently has been discarded. It was championed by Chesterton and Belloc, but because of it’s Christian Catholic) message has been ignored. Pope Francis has basically stated the tenets of Disributism in his messages. Have a look at it, even on Wikipedia, and it is based on that rare thing, Common Sense. (Want to buy a football club Guv? Ground, players, contracts, car parking? The heap for £5.5 million. It’s a steal I tells ya!) See where the common sense is missing? The Scottish media don’t.

Agree 1000% – you make the enlightened point most eloquently.
These poor unfortunates looking for a better life for their families are not desperate to get into Russia, Hungary, Poland, or indeed any of the former Soviet Bloc nations – no, they want to live in fully-fledged capitalist economies, such as the UK, Germany, Scandinavia and the Benelux countries.
Why? – because there they treat people well and have legal systems which are the envy of the rest of the world – of course if the Atlantic Ocean could be traversed, the USA would be their number one destination.
Every day, in almost every third-world and Islamic country, the American embassies and consulates are inundated with queues for visas, – round the block and round the clock.
Everyone in the world, save maybe for Jeremy Corbyn and his ‘fellow travellers’ knows that Communism, and all its offshoots, are failed systems – no one, except an unreconstructed zealot, would choose to live under a Communist regime, ever again.
Of course there are many failings and structural unfairness within in the capitalist system, and therefore, we all should be voting for empathetic politicians and parties, who have VIABLE proposals and policies, to address these issues.
The Scandinavian system is always held up as a role-model, but what we must remember that taxes are very high, albeit to provide a good standard of health and welfare, and, there is a much stricter approach taken to the ‘British disease’ of a lifestyle choice to live on benefits, immediately after leaving school.
The banks and the city must take almost all the blame for the global downturn/recession/depression – however as a country, we must never forget that 25%/33% of the total taxes we collect, and that are need for all our health and welfare sector, come from the financial services industry – I know certain people on here will shout me down on this – but may I suggest that anyone interested in the FULL story of the Global collapse and how it affected the UK – read Alistair Darlings book “Back from the Brink”
