Pleased to see the Club recognised for CelticLive, the stadium WiFi and content imitative by the European Club Association. Anything which builds our profile at the ECA is welcome.
Today’s Telegraph assures us Newco Rangers chief executive, Graham Wallace, is set to leave the club with his plans to raise £4m at a pending share issue still in the balance. The newspaper further asserts the club is a “toxic brand” and is trying to secure an emergency loan from Newcastle United owner, Mike Ashley.
The club, which informed the Court of Session on Friday that it had only £1.2m cash left, and last night informed the Telegraph it was losing £1m per month, requires vastly more money than the £4m they are struggling to raise in order to finish the season.
Some credit is due to the Daily Record for their splash with photo and leader, “Rangers director Sandy Easdale and a criminal wanted by Interpol tried to negotiate an Ibrox bailout yesterday”. They are reporting two years after Paul McConville’s blog initially broke the news of said Interpol-interested character, Rafat Rizvi.
Rizvi, who can take refuge in the UK as we don’t have an extradition treaty with Indonesia, is allegedly wanted for corruption, money laundering and banking crime, denies the charges, which he has already been convicted of. He should fit in quite well.
As we said at the weekend, irrespective of short-term events, the long-term fundamentals remain unchanged. The only thing to be decided is which of the characters hovering around the carcase will get to pick on the bones.
All credit to Sir David Murray.

He’s done enough so far to keep his place in the team and I wouldn’t be looking to rest him just now when we are looking for consistency and a settled 11,

…canny be the team who play at Poundland.
What the man said was I believe there is a professional club in a professional league in Europe that is being run by criminals. I have reasons to believe that has been the case. .
Don’t think the Championship / First division / SFL1 / whatever is a wholly “professional” league – is it?

Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Societe Generale, JP Morgan, RBC Capital Markets and Credit Suisse have all said that a yes vote could have dire consequences for the economy putting the recovery at risk.
The Financial Times reports that asset managers, investors and pension savers are moving billions of pounds out of Scotland over fears of the economic consequences of independence. Multrees Investor Services, which manages bank accounts for the wealth management industry, said it had moved hundreds of milions of pounds of behalf of wealth managers following concerns over the referendum.
Don’t worry they’re all lying…. aren’t they?

http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/orange-march-for-no-vote-is-given-the-go-ahead-1-3484879
Will any of you no voters be attending this march on Saturday as you may have something in common , go on show your support.
I have never voted SNP in my life. I have never voted anything but Labour, in any election.
I used to work in the Scottish Parliament, pre Holyrood. I met Alex Salmond on several occasions. Never liked the man. An arrogant, boorish individual when dealing with staff.
I posted my YES vote about an hour ago. I am smart enough to know that I am not voting for Salmond. After independence, I will continue to vote Labour.
Just say YES.

Tom problem is that if some of us had not taken the pragmatic decision to start voting SNP we would never have been given the vote in the first place.Some people seem to want to conveniently forget that.
Zico- Excellent CQN’r BT posted a pub for Saturday, Algarve was a blast :))
Something that has occurred to me is since the Indy “debate” started on here, is just how much time some contributors spend posting on the blog. For a few it would seem to be an almost full time occupation, waiting to pounce on any opposing viewpoints to their own.
Again, Paul’s creation comes up trumps.

“The reaction to which has spooked the SNP but which would not have raised a tremor in London. I rest my case;)”
And I reply:-
“It did not spook them half enough. When they called it in to consider scrapping and revising it, every non-SNP MSP advised them to do so. The SNP majority on the Justice committee voted in bloc to let it have its original period of evaluation and pay no attention to all the signs of difficulty this piece of sh** legislation had caused. Further than that, they set the FOCUS officers on a small group of middle aged and unthreatening football fans traveling from Glasgow to picket the SNP at their conference in Aberdeen”
Some spook! Bet they get really nasty if they are truly frightened.
Oh No
Another Expert says there is less oil. Or the same, just not including the unknown reserves, or…. erm unexplored.
That must be bad for Scotland, right?
Not so bad for BP, shares are up there so somebody is making money.
Imagine getting fined £18 billion and your shares still go up.
Ach, am too thick to follow this, oil is bad and unreliable.
Best all round if Westminster just look after it.

Hi Bada.
See my post back to BT.Superb.On to Malta Thims site also.But great information.Glad u enjoyed.No reply about 6 iron big man.lol.
Timmy7_noted –
Understood. I was not criticising anyone for voting SNP. I was pointing out that not all YES voters have a history of Scottish Nationalism.
“I am smart enough to know that I am not voting for Salmond. After independence, I will continue to vote Labour.”
So would that be the same Labour that lost control of the Scottish Parliament to Wee Eck’s mob last time round?
Surely if the majority didn’t want them last time round, and in the meantime most of them have been campaigning for the NO camp, they are unlikely to be what you, as a YES voter, are looking for next time round?
It seems that many are content to let Eck, the architect of Independence, be drummed out of office once he has delivered it.
At that point, all the Scottish Labour MPs that have been castigated for so long by disenchanted Scottish Socialists will reappear and shapeshift into the caring and pragmatic leaders that will shape the destiny of this Brave New World.
Aye right!
Strikes me that when I hear a NO voter interviewed and asked why they have made that choice, they quote some facts and/or figures with which they can substantiate their preference.
Contrast that with most of the YES voters, whose rationale ranges from “Coz it will piss aff awe thae Hunz/Ingerlish/Tories etc., so it must be the right choice!”
Laughable and scary in equal measure.
Tom,I know of at least 7 good normally labour voting tims who have been voting SNP for a few years now and at the moment it appears to have been the right choice.

‘also been informed that the SNP will disband after the vote. Can anyone confirm?’

Don’t know who informed you of that, or what else they informed you of, but they’re wrong.
Not saying they’re lying, necessarily, but they’re wrong.
SNP denies it will disband after independence poll
Kate Devlin
UK Political Correspondent
Monday 31 December 2012
The SNP has vehemently denied it has plans to disband after suggestions the party might cease to exist if there was a Yes vote in 2014.
Stephen Noon, chief strategist at pro-independence campaign Yes Scotland, questioned the SNP’s future in the event it achieves its ultimate aim.
He said independence would solve the constitutional question while altering the fundamental dividing lines of Scottish politics.
“What of the party of independence?” he wrote.
“Will Scotland still want or need an SNP?”
The party last night denied it would disband if it was successful in 2014, saying the SNP would be campaigning for votes “now and in an independent Scotland”. …………..

Back to footy.More than anything on Saturday I want to see a decent performance with an indication that we are beginning to develop a playing style that is effective and good to watch.The last couple of performances were Mobrayesque and scary but I still believe Ronny will come good with time.Our midfield has been overrun too easily and to be honest its difficult to say how much of that was down to the players or the tactics,I hope it was the players and we start to see a gradual improvement.
An unbeaten run in September would be great whilst the new guys bed in.
setting free the bears
No one is saying that no mistakes have been made. The sectarianism issue has been around for the best part of 150 years and it’d take a miracle to get rid of it in a few short years. London wasn’t much of a help either.
The point is the SNP’s legislation bears minimal relevance to the vote next week.

Drambowie,
Last I heard on Tonev was from Ronny at the press conference a week past Friday saying he was to resume full training on Monday (1st Sept)
” A thought from a pretty good economist. ”
I’ll be pleasantly surprised if there are many / any contrary views expressed on this blog that don’t include/base themselves entirely on some variation of the “Krugman is nuts / out of fashion / too rude” approach that characterises the conservative response to him and his work.
