An SPL general meeting today passed several less-significant Financial Fair Play rules (pay your taxes and players) but did not approve a proposal from chief executive, Neil Doncaster, that a mechanism should be introduced to parachute a Newco into the top division in Scottish football for the first time in history.
It would have taken 8 votes to see this controversial proposal pass, which it clearly didn’t get. The SPL reserves the right to vote a Newco in at any point in the future, but those hoping to buy the assets of Rangers were not issued a ticket to the SPL today.
Surprised?
Perhaps connected to the above matter…. The SPL board will this afternoon consider issues relating to allegations Rangers rigged the system for over a decade with dual contracts.
There are too many permutations for me to digest these developments with any accuracy. At first pass, the news appears to be on the upside of what I was expecting earlier in the day.

Does Smudger’s wig spin when he thinks too hard?

I think this Orebro and OSk may be the same outfit also, don’t know why they have them down for the same amount though, seems very confusing.

Timely article on the excellent Wings over Scotland blog,suggesting that at least some clubs would benefit from increased matchday attendances if R*nkers were expelled,offsetting any potential drop in income from Sky/ESPN sources.

There are a number of other interesting football related items on this blog,including their analysis of Paul 67’s seminal posting on projected losses to other clubs since 1998,resulting from R*nkers financial doping….well worth a glance.
Has R.C.Ogilvie Resigned Yet…..??
Algarvian/sparkleghirl,

but he is Norwegian but may have come from a swedish club

Folks,
Asked this earlier but not seen any reply.
If the CVA fails as most seem to think, can the creditors block any attempt by D&P to act as liquidators or indeed as the overseer of the CVA if accepted?
Cheers

The “Pride of Argyll” is clearly a veiled attempt at irony- that slosh was like sad robots going through an MOT- I’ve heard of that gang, they’re called: The Dunoon Diazepam Fan Dancers.

You want to see the midges in Madison County
Ross County v Caley
Dundee v United
St Johnstone v Dundee
Motherwell v Hamilton
Raith v Dunfermline
Falkirk v Raith
Dunfermline v Falkirk
Morton v St Mirren
Ayr v Kilmarnock
These are all local derby’s that would attract decent crowds- there is untapped potential out there which is blocked at present by the structure of the leagues.

You’ve heard the rumours, too.
Ole Smudger Duffield is still clearly under the influence of Rugs.
Does anyone know of a decent framer in Glasgow to get a signed Celtic top framed?
Hail Hail

The new names on the list of creditors could be folk that have come forward since February’s list was published. Or ones that D&P just forgot about first time around.
I think the Swedish club is in twice under two slightly different names, as is Slaters.

It is interesting that all 12 clubs now want a say on Newco.
MWD challenged Doncaster on this issue earlier this year see
http://kerrydalestreet.co.uk/topic/8658278/2/#new
It suggests that ster’s preferred position of a 6 man Board voting (read the Spoiler on Page 1) on the KDS topic has now bitten the dust.
The ongoing battle that Barcabhoy (and Paul) has spoken to is to prevent individual issues being dealt with salami slice fashion by Doncaster and wait for the full picture to emerge to make an informed judgement with an informed and defensible punishment.,
If you read the exchanges from earlier this year on the KDS topic you will see that Doncaster has been doing his best to contain this issue in order to keep Rangers in the SPL.
Rangers’s behaviour since then and the feedback from supporters to their Chairmen has defeated Doncaster in terms of his plan A. The next bampot endeavour (apologies to Baracbhoy and Paul) is to have all charges considered before any Newco decision is made.
Today’s decsion to treat each case on its merits suggests the bampots are winning.
Smudger had an EBT (Extra Big Toupee).
Breaking News……………………..The Alexander Brothers have quit ahead of Ragers
“Toupee or no toupee” that must the question on Smudger’s mind every morning before he leaves the house.
Smudger has just had rabbits tattooed on his head.
From a distance it looks like hare.

A lot of talk about Annan Athletic on here – but maybe we shouldn’t be so patronising towards them. Anna Athletic field a reserve team (something the great Glasgow Celtic seem incapable of) and also an U19s. Their reserves play in the SFL Reserve League Cup section West – 10 games plus playoffs. Surely a Club like ours could find a league who would accept our Reserve team on a competitive basis? EPL? English football league reserves? A reduced SPL reserve league on a voluntary basis (would probably attract about 6 or 7 clubs). The fact that the wee clubs have a league and the SPL doesn’t just about sums up the shambolic state of scottish football.
Neil Doncaster looks like Clark Kent after a nuclear fallout.
Petrichor ( the smell of rain after a dry spell of weather)
Petrichor ( /ˈpɛtrɨkər/) is the scent of rain on dry earth. The word is constructed from Greek, petra, meaning stone + ichor, the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology.
The term was coined in 1964 by two Australian researchers, Bear and Thomas, for an article in the journal Nature.[1] In the article, the authors describe how the smell derives from an oil exuded by certain plants during dry periods, whereupon it is absorbed by clay-based soils and rocks. During rain, the oil is released into the air along with another compound, geosmin, producing the distinctive scent. In a follow-up paper, Bear and Thomas (1965) showed that the oil retards seed germination and early plant growth.[2]

OPEN INVITATION TO HAMILTON RACES 7TH JUNE (THU AFTERNOON)
Excuse my breaking in to the topic folks but a few of us are heading to the races next Thursday and anyone wishing to join us is most welcome. We are just paying at the gate and meeting up in the bar.
PF has promised to buy every attendee a treble of their choice. (at least I think that is what he said…it was a bad line)
Thanks
Dave “Trebor” Bassett says Green was “up to all sorts” at Sheff Utd- the type of guy: “he was obnoxious, who used threats…he would suggest if things weren’t going his way to go out in the car park and sort it out”.
He’ll fit right in at Ibrox then. Sandy Jardine will be up for an immediate promotion.
Ballabhoy@18.09pm
My son frequently uses a picture framer at St George’s Cross in Glasgow.I live in London and always truly amazed at the prices and the quality of the work.
Sorry I do not know the name but do know it is on the main road -that might even be Gt Western Road but I have not lived in Glasgow for many years.I am a southsider by birth and my geoography is a bit shaky- but not my judgement of framing or price. good luck.
Gotta Go.. seeya,folks,anon.
