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.

Vaguely remember Murphy at Motherwell…. I have witnessed good players go to the bigotdome and career ends 3 from the Dons Stephen Wright, David Robertson & Theo Snelders there will be plenty more
Brendan fits our club, canny wait till the CL qualifiers
Good times amigo
GFTB,
I think most of the “journalists” fit the categories you describe. I think with those who work in newspapers (and maybe radio and tv too) they have editorial policy to follow (imo, that means the deid team good, Celtic bad).
GFTB
Hugh has played a game on SSB for years. Guidi is playing the same game. Pair of Uncle Tims.
Gerry @9:52
Agree with you about the lie that both sets are as bad as the other, total pish. We have a minority of zoomers but that mob are full of them. As for SSB not heard it this side of the century, it was push then too ?

Reminder re Hootenanny in Belfast next weekend.
Along with Gearóid98, I am organising a walking tour of West Belfast starting at the Lower Falls Road next Saturday at 3.30pm. G98 will bring his car to assist those who would like a lift to and from each point of interest.
Tour will end at Milltown Cemetery and from there will head over to Felons’ Club for a bite to eat.
Tour will cost £10 pp so if interested leave a message here or email BMCUWP.

A few of my pals grew up and are really friendly with Ricky Burns I don’t know him at all but in Ricky’s early days SSB was about to finish and they asked Shug what he thought about Ricky’s chances…. for the last 10mins of the show Shug let rip… he was so knowledgeable and never stopped explaining each side of the arguenent, I just wish he could do the same with the fitba :-)
Parkheadcumsalford
Totally agree and totally aware why they do it, just a bit frustrating :-)
Prestonpans Bhoy
Am addicted to SSB, probably more sobthan Cqn because at least you know the Huns on SSB :-)
OneMalloy: I’ve counted you and your good lady in.
CELTIC is Massive.
Bigger than Anyone can possibly Imagine.
Everyone makes mistakes, Everyone.
Njoi Celtic doing well.
Aidan is not happy for Celtic to give naming rights for 5 years @ £100Million. I know what he is saying. Something is afoot. SB

The sad thing is that Hugh Keevins, like me, is an intelligent Tim fae Partick. Unfortunately he dumbs his act down to fit in wi very low IQ BFSDJ and the SSB moronic listeners. Pays for daughters weddings doncha know.
YNWA
No worries Almore.
See you next week mo chara.
HH. ?
DD 10.10pm
SSB gets me through doing the dishes by the way I loved big DJ, there is something beautiful in the fact him & Alex Rae are the hun mouthpieces on the tranny :-)
My glass is always half full
Gerryfaethebrig,
Nae harm to Derek but if he is their mouthpiece. Not exactly something to worry about.
Celtic is Massive.
Wits
If you’re about pal……
Just watched Hunger. Wow.
I’d (wrongly) presumed more of the film’s tike would focus on the 66 days.
I think the film and documentary complement each other well and fit together. And I think you’ll end up watching them in the better order. Film followed by documentary.

BFSDJ is car crash radio. Alex Rae is a wee bigot who kids on he is impartial. Grew up with loads of fakes like Alex Rae EBT.
I listen to the radio a lot, loads of ironing & dishes where I reside and I am thankful as I listened “live” to the Jabba & Chick Dung “am a bigger hun than you” & also big Sutton “Derek you are a rangers apologist” comedy gold in my wee workd
JNP
Delighted to see wee Neymar back amongst the goals :-)

Actually,that’s one of my favourite Dylan tracks,and I’ve always loved the Joan Baez cover too.
I was unaware of that version,also outstanding,so again my grateful thanks.
Maybe it’s just not possible to do a bad version of the song?
Good night fellow Tims
Gym beckons in the morning, and want to catch some human growth hormone during sleep between 10pm and 3 am. Probably got that wrong.
Anyway night all
D. :)

I enjoy big DJ being their “spokesperson”
DD
We all know an Alex Rae….. canny believe he gets paid to speak ! Something he isn’t very good at

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 3RD JUNE 2018 10:22 PM
So many great covers of Bobs songs.
Indeed, so many great songs he didnt even record himself.
Alex Rae – is Really hurting.
I’m surprised he still gets the gig after an episode a few weeks ago.
St Mirren Supporters sussed him out well quick.
Radio Clyde got him that gig IMO….. SO Fkn Sad.
St Mirren would not go wrong in appointing tyre.
ALMORE
My Dad and I are in,mate. Thanks for your efforts,once again!
GEAROID1998
Don’t think my Dad is up to the walking,though,so if you can find room in your Motor Car,it will be much appreciated-though it might bring him out in song!!!
Somewhere,there’s an old single version of Cher,ALL I REALLY WANNA DO. Dunno where my singles are,mind.

Pat the Hat disnae Walk. He floats. Gracefully like a personification of classy fenianology.
That’s my memory of Dublin anyways….though I’ll admit, drink had been taken by then!

Bobby: noted. Will post an update tomorrow.
Been a busy few days. Went down Wicklow Way today and ended up in Mt. Usher gardens. What a beautiful place.
Oh, and Dublin hurlers avoided relegation today. Up ra Dubs.
Oíche mhaith.
