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.

Its not. Peters bonus is only gauged by the degree of publicity of the Green Brigade. Else its salary as usual.
Your point being?

Ernie’s undecided and rolling downhill. He has gone from a 2:1 NO vote to a probably NO vote.
I think he is moving to YES :-)

Baws…
I already said SNP did the assassination…
But Labour was already doomed. The so called winter of discontent had Thatcher winning no matter what.
If Jim Callaghan had gone the previous autumn, as he promised the TUC he would, he might, MIGHT, have stopped that bandwagon from ever rolling.
Uncle Jim blew it!

There is nothing brave about voting Yes and nothing cowardly about voting NO.
Both involve writing an X in a box and waiting for an uncertain future.
All the rest is just Ya Boo Politics and singing songs of praise to yourself.
Apparently the Scotsman has come out for no.
I am shocked aren’t you?

I think Galloway has always been for the working man and against diminishing of old Labour principles.
The shock horror possibility is that he really believes independence will hurt the working man and so the tax revenue earned that pays for social justice.
Social justice comes at a cost, its not left under the pillow by the tooth fairy.
CRC, a friend in need,
You are that ghuy.
Thanks for that.
I will return.

Each to their own. If we get the no vote which I still expect will happen so be it. Life stays rosey. We keep our jobs!
If not and we go into the unknown. Not one person can predict exactly what will happen.
I would hope if and when we are independent we will start to make things again. This country used to manufacture a lot of things and build some of the greatest ships in the world now like some peoples jobs in my industry they are out sourced abroad. I’m happy to be re-trained. Not a problem! I want to be part of a nation I am proud of. Frankly being British at times embarrasses me to the core. They can take trident and park it up on the Thames while I am at it. I don’t want a nuclear war head within 100 miles of my son.
I bid you good night sir. We will not agree but I wish you well.

What William Hagued said 10th Sep 2014 at PM’s Question Time standing in for the charge of the elitist brigade on their day trip to kilts and shortbread.
“Talk of further devolved powers are campaign statements, not government policy”
I’ll leave that with those who think Gordon Browns envelope contains some fantastic offers!!!
These guys fight arms don’t know even know what their right arms are doing never mind their left arms.
Makes me larf though.
What you thinking Ernie?

From a brave political post by livibhoy
to yours of a political coward
you can take political out of that statement
Dear oh dear, that’s pathetic buoys.
There are major institutions telling it like it is.
Do you think for one second that Tory MP Rupert in Plymouth or Alfy the Labour MP in Barrow will not demand that BAE shift their shipbuilding to their constituency?
What will Lossiemouth, Leuchars, Kinloss, the army, navy communities do to exist……That’s only the military stuff and fair play if you’re a plough shares type of guy that says good riddance……….what puts a loaf on the table?
From what is being spouted about “Getting the government we vote for” crap……….who is that possibly going to be?
Who is this mystical leader, who I don’t know about, who will lead us to the promised land?

Fair enuff. Need to disappear as been a long day

As I recall the Unions in Callaghan’s time had the final say in what was to happen in any factory or office. A sensible efficiency if it meant one man being able to do what two did before was resisted.
That made Britain inefficient and uncompetitive. By being unrealistic about the nature of business the Unions provided Thatcher with an opportunity to take them on and by God she took it.
I had to deal with the consequences that were most unpleasant and certainly delayed my career for quite a few years. The methods used were extreme in my view but the balance had swung too far left for the country’s health opening the way for a swing in totally the opposite direction.
The thing about the Tories though is that they never learn when they have gone too far until they run out of road.

Can you give me instances when he has not been more representative of “old labour” than many of his contemporaries?
I normally post under a different blog name but have acquired a pseudonym just for this post.
I have refrained so far from posting in regards to the vote but feel compelled after reading so much about what Scotland may lose. I am an expat gone for many years and my intentions are if it is a yes vote is to return and invest in the new Scotland. I see opportunity and I feel compelled to invest, a no vote will see it and me remain here. I am aware of at least three others of the same persuasion and one of them likely to commit an 8 figure sum, I doubt we are alone.
It will not all be outflow with a no vote and the new investors will be fully committed.

I think that will be the outcome too mate.
Hopefully this will galvanise the whole country to get the London centric bollox sorted, that is the major issue for the UK.

I think he had to say that or there would have been more nat cries about breaking the Purdah rules.
What was I saying earlier about closed system thinking where they are wrong whichever way they jump?

I doubt many folk (old OR new Labour) would have agreed with his fawning over Saddam’s indefatigability?
its a momentus time right enough.
as a near 49 year old,
what would the whole of ireland given for a referendum back in 81,
a vote from the whole population.
i cannot deny this, maybe , i am myself alone, how the hunger strike was sanctioned by that tory government.
so, for that reason, above it all ,
i vote for yes scotland and a further crumble of the empire.

Galloway is certainly for the working man. The bus worker in gateshead has more in common with the bus worker in glasgow than either salmond or cameron.
I think his objection to independence is that he believes england and scotland to have a shared history, a shared culture. There is no need to divide them. Any such division is therefore a manufactured one. It erects barriers between workers making it more difficult for them to organise in order to achieve a better standard of life and of living.
I do not necessarily think this myself, but having listened to him, I think the above is a somewhat distilled take on what he believes.
myjustification
I understand completely.
I too wish to return to my homeland but I will not do so if we remain shackled to the UK and its direction of travel.
I think there are a lot of Scots ex-pats who would like to come home.
