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.

I’ve read the article a couple of times now p67- one of your best ever

That was the same mistake I made,re James Hay. His grandson wrote the article in question,but Jimmy never played in Australia.

You have revived my inner curtain twitching gene.
Timings are. Intriguing— you must know Andy M’s dad or older uncle?
I am a young thing so I can remember the younger uncle and the aunt.
My memory of St P’s was the huts, the huge hall and the “Slope”.
Plus watching the Primary 7 football in the park every lunchtime.
DC was the main man for 7C and it was good to see him take over from Fat Pat as our man in the Green and white.
Trying to remember the characters in your year.
Bit of a blur as it seemed to be a full on battle with our friends from the east.
One memory was a non local worthy coming to school with a cast on as it was deemed an offensive weapon and he was escorted of the premises / put back on the bus.
Peg vs Bing — oh the memories.
I wasn’t invited to join as I had glasses. Wrong vibe.
Plus my football career ended at 12 — man marking CB.
My sight was then so bad that I followed my man off the park when he got substituted.
Trying now to remember the big families of that time — Egan’s, Gribbens, Robertson’s,
Finally — never noticed the Colombo dimension.
I was brought up on the GU Physics department vs Oxford Chemistry department
What one was the biggest project in the 50’s.
My dad like many others served his time with W+G.

Me too. Love the video too. Ian McCulloch suits being an Amsterdam hooker. ?

Cheers, delany’s
You were talking earlier re the rampant Hun.It brought to mind a conversation I had with a customer of dark side persuasion, 2003.
He was sympathising with my journey to and from Seville.
“All I would like , is to see my team(rangers, remember them) play in a European final. we cant go anywhere but there’s trouble.
Lo and behold a few years later, ex gets his wish and the rest is history

Is it Kilsyth you are talking about?
Republican Clydebank is Green and White today. Awe the weans in the street and their dads have the Hoops on today. Green and White on the street. Sun and thunder and lightening in the sky, and still no rain. This is a freak occurence. Sign of the Times?

I was 2 years above d c at school .Never in the peg I was a lover not a fighter.come to think of it I wasn’t much of a lover either
DD 25 degrees here in the Garngad as well, now thunder and lightening as well.
No rain. Hope we don’t get any as Mrs David66 has taken grandson 66 to a fair in Springburn park.
Whilst I sit in the garden with a wee beer.?

Rip Vanessa. BRTH I recall yours and others kind words and prayers for Karina another who suffers Neuroblastoma. Karina is doing well at the moment and was treated at the same time as wee Oscar in Belfast. I just thought I could ask for you kind folk to remember her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

I remember a bus company offering trips to Manchester fae Drumchapel on a double decker bus for early bird bookings. I heard various huns who are addicted to alcohol and heroin got booked on that bus. They had never been out Glasgow in their life. I knew they would wreck Manchester. The fare was fiver return.

Garden of god, so my old boss, said it was the Gaelic for.
appols to any school teacher reading that.

Met Jack Hyndsy at last game of season, also Brian Monaghan. The North Stand is full of Knightswood Bhoys these days. Met Michael Kane too that day. Saint Tams takeover. ???
Weihehstephaner – bloody gorgeous beer: much crispier than the franziskaner weissbier
I also would bE slow to condemn Spiers as he is one of the few who fulfills the remit of a journalist

Have met GS more than once. He has more bottle than born Tims Keevins and Guidi. I like Graeme Speirs. He is the most honest journo in Scotland after Jim Spence. We just want a level playing field in Scottish fitba. No more, no less. As TET has said here for years, sort the corrupt Scottish refs and you sort Scottish fitba.

Correct for me.
Guy Gonella (sp ?) Shotts was Star sauce watered down with vinegar.
Chip paper sodden :)
As a born and bred Partick/Knightswood Bhoy now in Dalmuir, but who lived for seven years in Fife and Embra, I say that Fife chippies are the best in the world. Salt n Sauce is magic on a freshly caught haddock wi chips. Half the price of a Glesca fish supper and more than double the quality.

& cowan is a p***k
MMPD that is the Gaelic of Garngad I believe
DD all good ghuys you mentioned there.

Anybody know where Mr Speirs is now ?.
Liked his stuff ( 90%)
David66
Brian Monaghan is loaded. Jack Hynds is one of the best mates you could have. Michael Kane has reached the top of his profession and his bro Martin Kane one of my best mates is a Parish Priest. Us Knightswood Bhoys did no bad. I meet Knightswood huns we grew up wi in Knightswood and greet. That beast Leggat fae your block should be eliminated from humanity.

‘Killing Moon’ will play at Simon Cowell’s funeral while I and countless others raised on ingenuity, musicianship and unbridled creativity dance on his grave.

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.
—————–
Totally with you on that, Gerards name sold the season tickets required for survival.
The licence will be the get out for getting rid and the hun gullibles will swallow it.

Just caught Frankie Boyle’s belter from last night:
“Tommy Robinson, leader of the EDL, has been sentenced to 13 months in jail for contempt of court. Tommy is currently in prison attempting to form the ADL – the Anal Defence League. But he’s up against stiff opposition…”
:)))))))

It’s does a decent bar meal now

You really don’t need to keep repeating your point as it is becoming tedious.
You’re a better man than that.
Enjoy what Celtic are doing, we buried our enemy, ye, a shadow is left of them but believe me… no hun in work can look me in the eye… It’s magic you knowww it’s gonna be 10…in a row.
