I didn’t hear the scores of other games this weekend until today when I read a red card protest (remember the day Celtic fans gave birth to this concept?) occurred at Ibrox to demonstrate disapproval to any potential new owner who plans to liquidate Rangers.
It would be preferable to everyone if Rangers paid their bills, restoring a degree of dignity, although apparently no one is offering to do this. Publicly bidders for the club will all confirm their preference is to exit administration via a Creditors Voluntary Arrangement (CVA). Offering pennies in the pound for a company is unquestionably a great deal, for the buyer, but whoever is nominated as preferred bidder this week is likely to have a serious option to liquidate the club.
Demonising the liquidation option carries risks for Rangers fans. Short of raising considerably more money than they have thus far and paying their bills, there is little fan power can do right now. If liquidation is the best option for creditors it will happen, better to accept the reality of the situation. Whatever the resulting phoenix club is called, if the new owners inherit animosity from the start it will only diminish the potential of their new club.

I think Ross County will suprise a few people next season. They know how to play football & have a fantastic youth set up. They wont have 10 men behind the ball that’s for sure. HH

Good to see you posting again, i’ve missed seeing your contributions. Coming on here today and posting what you have says everything.
HELP!!
I’m stick for transport on the day of the Rangers game.
Can anyone put me in touch with supporters bus convenors in either Sunderland or Teesside/Middlesbrough. I know there was a bus coming from Redcar at one point – does it still run?
I’m in Peterlee, so the two options are to go 10 miles north or about 20 miles south to meet one of the buses.
that’s “stuck for transport” – eejit
lmao at the “admin” comments, sadly all it means is me making several trips to explain why I’ve filled in forms wrong, though on reflection I should have looked for a better word.
P.S I hope you are all proud of yourselves that my grandkids can’t get there favourite meal as greedy tims emptied the shops of jelly and icecream
Hamiltontim,
If you missed my posts on Saturday, apologies again for disappearing mid-chat on Friday night.
Anyway, trecked around worcester for half an hour before landing in the ‘saracens head’. They had ESPN so the Barman kindly stuck the game on so the whole pub got to watch the 1st half. At half-time the rest of the pub got switched over to some epl trash while the wee front bar, newly reformed as the worcester csc got on with watching the champions. Even got to watch the full post-match stuff. Lovely.

Edward,
Well said sir. Hope you are enjoying the non league football. You might see a certain new club in your territory next season.

I am not sure i agree with that, it would really depend on how easy it is for the company to exit the country.
The Germans make it difficult for big companies to come in and exit easily. The UK is the exact opposite.
maks sense to us
yer pal who thinks yer swell
Ed
I was just about to ask you how your geandchildren enjoyed their weekend… o))
I don’t suppose there is a Tom from Linlithgow who uses CQN? Married to Mary.

You are aware of the fact that Amazon’s entire market for such a centre is entirely internal and that the centre was required in any case, aren’t you?
i.e. that Amazon were pretty much going to build the distribution centre irrespective of the assistance given.
Or maybe you suspect that Amazon would have taken the huff and cut their own distribution throats because wee Eck wasn’t handing them the keys to a shiny new centre barely 10 miles away from their existing one?

I am as happy as the next man to see the good folks o’ Fife getting back to work. The problem I have with Mr Salmond’s generosity is that, for the moment at least, Amazon (the Corporation) will not contribute one penny to the Scottish exchequor, (and only Business Rates to the London one) and neither will their employees. The money should have come via the Scottish office, not out of the block grant which London so kindly donates to us. And anyway I did not think you were in favour of handouts, or do you make an exception when it comes to multibillion pound corporations?
Serge
I’m from Linlithgow and work there too! Names do not ring a bell!
Any other info and I could make enquiries.
Should have said stays in Linlithgow but originally from Bridgeton

I have not met you buddy but you must be crazy if you foster friendship with an Polish guy :-)
What you got from Pablophanque?

Glad you got sorted mate. Saturday morning was hectic and then I was driving the bus to Kilmarnock so didn’t get the chance to check CQN.
I’ll need to remember the ‘Sarry Heid’ for future reference though it shouldn’t be hard to recall the name!! :-)
Blantyretim :- I think a state of civil war between my Grandson and his sisters probably sums it up lol
Serge
Meant to say if Paul67 would be kind enogh to let you have my home email address I might be able to help.

Im just leaving work (if you can call CQN that) and will reply in a bit. Thanks for any help mate. HH

The Hole in the Wall is where the Celtic bus leaves from and has recently changed hands.
Still doing well.

Not sure that asking the locals for the ‘sarry heid’ will help you much next time you’re down. Nice wee pub. On the road that the main train station is on – foregate street?
Me, wife & 7 year old daughter provided a wee bit of curious entertainment to the locals for a couple of hours.

Serge
No problem!
Take care.
Edward
Decent and dignified as ever. Please post as often as you can – your input has been sorely missed, at least here in Oslo.
Philbhoy
Some great people in that pub, very welcoming. glad to hear it is doing well.
Edward good to see you posting, I guess the last 3 yrs on CQN/ reading CQN would have been difficult as we all were hurting, you could have wound us up something terrible but ye choose not to…. Fair play to you.
Vinny
Just read a great idea on twitter.
Let’s try and get Fergus McCann to unfurl that flag at the start of next season.
Give the man the acclaim he deserves.

If it’s stuck on “Alt” and battery off does not help, I suspect that device had contact with water, cola or other liquid.
You get get copies of photos and music via cable (straight) into your computer. For full device copy you need Desktop Manager.
I would try to get Desktop Manager first and would try to put your devices sofware up to date first. Maybe up to date operation will solve the problems? If not, it’s hardware defect.
…..a den of iniquity!
