Commons and football intelligence

1244

Kris Commons return to the Celtic team on Sunday was enormously welcome, even if it didn’t produce his first goal of the season.  Kris has had a wretched season after arriving with a bang from Derby County in January last year.

He is not the most athletic or skilful player in the team but he has an abundance of football intelligence, well in excess of his contemporaries.  The cross-field pass for the second goal against St Johnstone was a perfect example.  Celtic players were rushing forward on a break, while defenders were flooding back.  To the annoyance of many sitting around me, Kris slowed things down, surveyed the field and switched play to Ki on the opposite wing.

This has been a great and memorable season for Celtic but there remains plenty to do.  An hour or so watching Kris Commons is enough to demonstrate the way forward.

    They really are deluded are they really that gullible, debts totaling nearly £150 million and this twat thinks the statement from Duff & Duffer is the most significant news out of asbestox yet, is there no editorial control on Sky…….

    on this news.

     

     

    What’s that you say? The majority of them then!

  5. northshorebhoy on

    Jim White on SSN looks deliriously happy.

     

     

    I hope he gets to announce the breaking news when they hit the blender.

  6. Ok, off out for a while to catch some of the Holy thursday shenanigans around town, but before I do: one more time, to mark the start of the long weekend, the Big Birthday / Bank Holiday / League title / Liquidation party weekend (apologies if I’ve missed anyone, feel free to add and repost)

    Happy Birthday to one and all :)

  7. If adding “institution” to your name makes your behavioural automatically less criminal…can I file for institutional status and then rob a bank?

  8. Bhoy From The Boyne on

    Jim White – ‘we can forget liquidation – rule that out’.

     

     

    I can’t stop laughing :-0

     

     

    What planet is Jim White and SSN on!

     

     

    Reading out pure spin statement from D&P and then adding some more spin themselves!

     

     

    Idiots

    Does that £134m include the BTC ……?

  10. Men in white coats standing along side Jim White to take him away to a little padded cell somewhere far away from all his clubs bad news.

  11. Jim Whyte making an absolute tool of himself there.

     

     

    That will be yet one more classic moment to be brought up and used against him ad nauseum when they do indeed get liquidated.

     

     

    And by the way his female colleague mentioned the possibility of everything being transferred to a new company but it’s still the same rangers? eh? if that happens surely HMRC and other creditors will still be after them. If not then it looks pretty much like liquidation to me.

     

     

    When it comes to Rangers they really do just make it up…..

  12. Jim got ants in his pants with all the news. Jim is seeing what he wants to see.

  13. So … if Ticketus reduce their bill by becoming part of the consortium and all of the other creditors agree to 10p in the £ then they would only owe £11M or so.

     

     

    Or, in other words, the club can be saved if HMRC agrees to write off about £84,000,000.

     

     

    Does anyone think that is even a remote possibility?

    So in 6 weeks, the administrators have managed to lrun Rangers to a loss of £2.6m.

     

     

    Income – £1.02m

     

    Expenses – £3.62m

     

     

    Well done.

    After a quick scan through, that is what jumped out at me as well.

     

    hunbelievable

  16. ‘Nicola Young 1 Aigas Cottages Jordonhill’ bumped to the tune of 3,500.0

     

     

    I think this is Nicola Young director of http://www.spiritaid.org.uk/ “a humanitarian relief organisation dedicated to alleviating the suffering of children and young people whose lives have been devastated by war, poverty, genocide, ethnic cleansing and all forms of abuse.”

     

     

    If you can get any lower than that I’d like to see it :-|

  17. gebhoy is the taxmans tick tocking clock, tick...tock on

    Can someone tell me why Rangers are still allowed to play Wallace when they still owe £800K, How can the still owe Rapid money for Jelavic, when Everton paid in full?

     

     

    I just dont get it…….Cheating Bassa’s

  18. The bit that Jim White chose to ignore-

     

     

    “We would stress, however, that if a CVA could not be achieved, bidders have discussed with us the next best alternative being the sale of the business to a new legal entity which would continue to trade as Rangers Football Club.

     

     

    “While such an arrangement is not desirable in so far as it would change the corporate entity, i.e, the registration number of the limited company, and would leave the Club facing European and domestic football penalties, it nevertheless could provide a platform to enable new and substantial investment into the Club to be made, which would in turn achieve the long term stability and viability of the business. As administrators, we would be in breach of our statutory duties if we rejected out of hand any legitimate proposal that asserted to secure the future of the Club”.

     

     

     

    Sounds ike liquidation to me.

  19. O.G.Rafferty on

    Anyone know how much the Rangers whip round has raised? Was about £250,000 last I saw
