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.

It is utterly impossible to record a bad cover of To Ramona.
I like Dylen and Baez singing it.
I like David Gray singing it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQNyqIZccbg

Jamesie Bhoy it will be Fantastic to see ye again.
Like so many others.
Evening All.
I love discussing, watching and listening to people with talent.
Sometimes it is very easy to overlook people who have talent and the clip below is a classic example of that for me.
Let me explain.
Many years ago, a young Jewish New York comedian became intrigued if not obsessed by Mohammed Ali.
The comedian and the boxer had nothing in common at all. Not their colour, not their religion, nor even the part of the states the came from.
Ali earned his living in the ring, and made public appearances talking about religion, rights, politics or whatever. He was a hero and a villain to some. He was famous throughout the world. He was a leader.
The comedian was a kid. He was starting to make a name for himself locally but was hardly a household name — though that would come later.
Yet he was more than just a comedian. He was a writer and in his own way he was also someone who spoke out about injustice, or what he felt was right and he was not afraid to be controversial.
Anyway, at one point he wrote a comedic tribute to Ali. When performing it, the young comedian would impersonate the young Cassius Clay and would then change his voice to copy the voice of Ali as he got older, more philosophical, and generally slower.
He called the tribute 15 rounds.
A few years later, the young comedian was asked to perform the piece in front of a large audience during a tribute to Ali.
The champ had never heard it before and from this point on he would go on to call the comedian “Little Brother”
His real name was Billy Crystal and this is a piece of writing and a performance of real genius.

Lovely Interview

I meet Clash fans who tell me they don’t like Sandinista triple album. Combat Rock and Sandinista are the two albums by The Clash I listen to most now. Hitsville UK was Paul Simonen at his best on bass.
CONGRATULATIONS TO DELANEYS.
It was the legend that is Frank Haffey.
If you get your address and shirt size to me we will send you our
lovely Csc top.
