Self-flagellation:
SPFL: “Rather than attempt to communicate through the media, it is far more appropriate that any substantive issues are presented to the SPFL board for careful and detailed consideration, based on a sound legal analysis of the facts.”
Translated: Whip.
SPFL: “To date, there has been no such representations to the SPFL board and it notes Mr King’s statement of 30 May.
Translated: Whip.
SPFL: “In its statement of 29 May, Rangers FC claimed “a business relationship”, existed between the SPFL chairman and minority shareholders in a SPFL club, despite no evidence of such a relationship being presented. There is no mention of the previously claimed “business relationship” in the 30 May statement.
Translated: Whip.
SPFL: “In the 30 May statement the central allegation has now become that “there was non-disclosure of the conflict that immediately arose when the SPFL chairman accepted” his appointment as a non-executive director of International News & Media PLC (“IN&M plc”). As with the 29 May statement, no detail was provided to support this allegation.
SPFL: “Within the space of about 24 hours two different and very public allegations have been made against the SPFL chairman without, in either case, an approach first being made to the SPFL with concerns or seeking clarification.”
Translated: Whip.
To you or me this would be embarrassing. The SPFL know the rules. In fact, they wrote the rules, so if you are going to go off like a paranoid loon, know your territory, get it right, be consistent, remember what you wrote yesterday before launching into another issue today.
The days when the likes of Jim Farry (or the many who followed him) ran Scottish football are over. There are professionals in place now. Murdoch MacLennan has been a senior executive of large companies for decades. He was a member of the Commission on Scottish Devolution, is an Honorary Professor at the Glasgow University Business School.
Unlike Dave King, he has no criminal convictions.
I would also like to point out some of the reporting on this:
“Record Sport broke the story Doncaster would be standing by MacLennan, despite news emerging of the 69-year-old’s links with Desmond and fellow shareholder Denis O’Brien.”
Ask yourself this: on what basis could the SPFL act against Murdoch MacLennan? It would be more accurate to say “Neil Doncaster and others on the SPFL board have no choice but to stand by MacLennan as no evidence of wrong-doing whatsoever has been presented.”
And, no evidence of links with Dermot Desmond or Denis O’Brien have been provided. There are no such links, only innuendo. King may as well have said, “They go to the same synagogue” [they don’t, of course].
Stay classy, Dave. I’m sure outbursts like this are a sign that your troubles are all under control, but stop this self-flagellation nonsense.

Great post, some want to move on because we are winning, not me. We must get answers so this can’t happen again, even If just for the reputation of the game. HH

Michael McGlinchey was born in NZ but moved to Clydebank as a baby, and grew up here.
If anyone is out and about in East Kilbride , the oranges are out marching. I can hear them from my garden plus when I passed the Torrance Hotel ten minutes ago , there was a bus load of Britain’s loyal subjects parked beside it.
Lovely peepul.
I think BMCUWP is playing his cards very close to his chest and
will be very near to naming our twelve.
slowly slowly catches the monkey 8-))

Delaney’s , Davie Provan played in Australia in the close season in 1985. He played there to get his match fitness up.
At the start of the 85/86 season , he was in top form up until October or November when his ME kicked in.
Two games in particular stuck out before his ME , a 2 nil win at Dens and a 2 nil home win against St Mirren. He was outstanding in each . The St Mirren game we sung more for Frank McGarvey after his return to te Buddies than we did for any of our players.
MELBOURNEMICK
Not me,mate. I’m already proudly in possession of one of your finest.
It’s a peach,btw!!!

I don’t think i’m clever enough to mock anybody lol
but you are on the right track.
Why not add some of the previous posters names to yours
and name twelve players, simples.

Jacko Irvine is Australian and played one game for Celtic in our current 7 in a row run.
Don’t think he played pro fitba in Oz, as he came to Glasgow as a kid. Currently starring for Hull City.

A few of us have pointed that out,but it has also been suggested that McAllaister is the Get Out of Jail card for them.
DD Not sure how original question was phrased but I think he did play for Australia. Presumably he got a match fee and that might be the qualifying trick that he played Professional Football in Australia.
I reckon Irvine is the missing link.
DELANEYS
Jackson played professionally for Melbourne Victory.
H.H Mick
DD ah well !
I should read the questions properly.
By the way it’s Glorious here in the sunny Garngad again today.

The Orcs are in ML4 today,Scotlands shame
BMCUWP hope you are well
I have been saying to my mates since McCallister was associated with them, that GerRd will either fail or not come and McCallister will have the reigns.
That is probably Glibs game plan and Gerard probably doesn’t even know it.

You red bonce bhoys be careful in the sun.
My red head daughter’s freckles are back out in force these last few weeks. ???
I think the orcs were out in Springburn today, either that or they were getting bussed somewhere as I seen loads of them earlier all standing beside a few busses, when out in car earlier.
Quite a few looking like butterbean and big fella from the Goonies.
