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.

My boys are 6 and 8. Both of them love Bob’s ‘ three little birds’ by the way. I treasure my time with them and my wee daughter. Must be pretty cool going to gigs with you’re boy.
Modern way is one of their best imo.
Will be coming into Glasgow for lunch and shopping with the wife. Could let the wife go on her own for a bit and meet up for a couple of pints somewhere . I’ll keep you posted nearer the time. We’ll get something organised.

Arlene Foster is a hypocrite who will use any stick she can to bash the Irish Republic
The mere existence of the state is anathema to her and ilk.

Arlene Foster.
Nobody’s banging that. Nobody.
On Sky speaking about ‘tolerance’. As she’s scheduled to join the fife Orange Walk next week.
Psychotic Old Testament Munter.
GRACE ……IN CASE ANYONE WAS INTERESTED :)

All the fool me.

No problem at all.
I respect your views on abortion. Its a terribly emotive subject.terrible to see politicians trying to score points with it.

I would never have guessed Grace.
Bernadette would be my choice if she wasn’t already Jacqueline Maureen.

The abortion issue is way too difficult for me. I really can see both sides. No wonder it provokes such strong feelings. It is certainly nothing to celebrate.
However If abortion was so “easy” in bygone days, I wonder how many of us on here may not have existed.
Apologies for being blunt.
BROGAN ROGAN TREVINO AND HOGAN on 3RD JUNE 2018 10:23 AM
Tontine Tim Great to see you posting and thanks for conforming the relations between Evan Williams and big Colum.
My dad had a cousin, Rose McKinlay who lived in Dalmuir or Dumbarton. I forget which. She was a big woman and I can honestly say she was possibly the happiest soul I have ever met. Constant big beaming smile. She was like something out of a Beryl Bainbridge novel — oversized and ever happy with her lot.
*Thanks BRTH, just spoke with Mrs TT there and she thinks that a big woman called Rose McKinley worked in the co-op. Young Colum was a big lad but his da big Colum who was a coalman was a really big man.
Wee story about young Colum, I was walking up Car dross Road one Saturday afternoon, we had a semi against Airdrie that day and I chose tae work instead, it must have been after 4 and I was going tae pick up my wife and weans, when I spotted Colum walking down toward the River Leven rod and fishing gear in hand, he had fell out with the diamonds management so decided not tae go tae hampden tae watch them lol.
Another wee bit of useless Castlehill trivia, the goalie that saved the penalty fae big Frank in the 9-0 game was also a neighbour of theirs. He’s now out in Oz and seemingly pally with Wispy.
BRTH – When next on could you check your mail please re Malawi Polo/TShirt , sent you an order Saturday morning, thanks

Put me in the may not have existed group.
Why I am so pro life. Would be a hypocrite to be pro abortion.

See we’re being linked with Abel Hernandez who’s available on a free from Hull.
Scored 39 in 110 appearances . 8 in only 10 this season due to injury.
Would rather we kept the two French forwards we have. Any news on a permanent deal for fast Eddy, seems to have gone a bit quiet on that front.
