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.

The shape of the toilet bowls is seriously disconcerting.
BIG-CUP-WINNERS
Thanks for backing that up.
I had no interest in you jocks independence vote.
That was until I read the arguments for and against on here. Very articulate and sensitively put by both sides.
Initially I would have tended towards no.
Simply because of the experiences of us irish nationalists annexed into the north of Ireland.
As Scotland has a similar attitude to the immigrant irish I thought the irish diaspora within Scotland could be vulnerable to discrimination without the protection of Westminster laws.
But eloquent arguments have assuaged those fears.
I would have thought that the vast majority of celtic fans would be automatically nationalist. But the matter is more complex than that.
I was surprised earlier to hear that 46% of sevco supporters polled were yes voters.
I am now in the yes camp.
I want the UK dissolved. I want the Welsh to follow your example.
Which in turn would leave the north of Ireland unionists no uk to hang onto.
Maybe get that mistaken, disastrous squiggly line across Ireland obliterated!!

Love it! Even taking a slash was efficient!

I can fully accept that not every thing in the UK is a bed of roses as things stand however the Yes side seems to place an almost childlike belief and certainty that everything will be hunky dory in an independent Scotland
All seemingly paid for by an unending stream of oil
Yet who would extract all this oil?
Scotland is already a comparatively wealthy country yet the SNP have made no significant inroads in to wealth redistribution everything is jam tomorrow as soon as we get shot of London
To be replaced by who? WeeEck’s cronies like Grossart and Minty?
Do you really think that Rupert Murdoch is someone to listen to?
Seem to me that the Nats are playing the long suffering people of the west of Scotland like a violin!
Trade unions learned a long time ago that unity is strength!

I think the translation is; you want Ernie off the blog. Moonbeams is on just as much it appears, but he supports your agenda so that’s okay.
Inequality. Sorry
No, the translation is that Ernie can post what he wants and people will see fit to respond, is that allowed?

There’s a lad I know through working his organisation. Decent guy. Really decent and/but! a FOD fan.
I’ve been amazed at how pro a Yes activist he is.
It chears me…..

I wasted my time……………just look at the evidence.
Ghordybhoy64
You may have missed my reply.
Gordybhoy64 at last count I have persuade 14 people, 9 of whom were No’s like I was at one time, to change from No or undecided to Yes. Not based on what I had to say but based on asking them to actually get involved and read both sides, find as much information as they could and make as much of an informed decision as they can.
Geordie M
and I’m larfing cause my 9 and 14 makes me smile.

Now, now, no need for violence whatever the result.
Ernie disnae have a vote. He is like Barack Obama, Sean Connery, Irvine Welsh, David Cameron, George Osborne, Ed Milliband. No vote, but keen to put their neb in.
Just had a wee read in sunday times sport how the great Di Stefano had passed away at ripe old age of 88…many claim he was the best ever..writes Ian Hawkey…….No mention of the buzz bomb or jinky….or why he chose Celtic to play in his testimonial….he had great admiration for the club and jock stein………..another hurty writes a story.
Magnificentseven
Correct, just like everyone else.
I love Ernie.
I love fools.
Stick around Ernie.
You make me larf. Even though you are not talking to me noo since I got your number.

Rupert owns the most read rag in Scotland, so, in this case he will be listened to. As you are probably aware, newspapers lend their support in elections all the time and have had big influences in the past.
Also with regards to unions, remind me who the RMT have backed?
Moonbeams,
I corrected the numbers for you ;)

Standard life are doing a great job for their shareholders and are meeting all the criteria set by government after the financial crashes of 2008. Pity they have done this by axing thousands of jobs and pressurising the remaining staff to work up to 5 hours unpaid overtime per day in order to complete the work demanded of them. Is David Nish on his multi million pound annual package doing this?
——————————————————–
Can you tell me in which departments you’ve seen this? I work with staff right across the business and do not recognise this at all. To be clear – you are saying that people who normally work a 7-hour day are being forced to work an extra 5 hours a day? I’ve seen this nowhere in SL and I go between SLH, DH, SCC, DH buildings as well as SMA in London.

RIP Lyndsey, miss you more every day.
Bed for me.
One question that no one has answered yet is ‘what happens to the butchers apron after independence and how quickly will the NI fleg protesters heads melt about it?’
Magnificentseven
Do you stay up near Lennoxtown ?
BT,
I’ve never heard of it before, ye weird, not as as weird as on here lately…it’s 24/7 politico.
Is there a vote happening?
I see these people approaching my door, little do they know I’ve taken the battery out of the doorbell.
C’mon Ernie.
I’ve not had a larf for a few minutes.

Ah, you are in Bayern. I’m in Homburg in Saarland, 20km from the French border; equidistant between Saarbrueken and Kaiserslautern. My son is in Stuttgart and his partner’s sister lives in Rosenheim. Small world!

Correct, just like everyone else.
Glad you see that, we all have our opinions on this and they are going to be polarised by the nature of the debate. I have to say that in general I am enjoying the debate and when things are said it makes me want to check them out, that can only be good, the more we know the better informed our decision after all

Peace be with you mhate.

Oh! Oh! Better together trusting wee Joanne again.
Does anyone think she has found the ability to make a decision yet?
Na. She’s not programmed for that silly nonsense. Just as well she’s not FM.

I also know one who surprised me in the same way, couldn’t be a more definite yes, however sadly I do know others who are no for one reason only, and that is sad, we all need to be open to the debate
magnificentseven
Nail on head. And from there it doesn’t matter what way you vote to me. It’s just the bananas who are voting without consideration of both sides who are letting themselves down. Blinkered by whatever it is they are blinkered by.

You really don’t get it, no one is expecting utopia, the difference is we are willing to ride out any problems that come with it rather than always be a second though
David Hayman, playing dyed-in-the-wool Labour supporter and trade unionist Bob Cunningham who in this very moving speech explains why he has decided to vote Yes.
