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.

I really don’t think a vote yes or no vote would or should have any effect on employees in London. I don’t even know where that idea would come from?
London is a cosmopolitan city, it recruits from all over the world. No company is going to discriminate against Scottish employees because their country of birth has chosen their own path. I can see there could be a worry for those working in Scotland in companies who have threatened to relocate (I’m sure that’s a mixture of companies being concerned about the currency and/or wanting their wishes to be taken into consideration in an independent Scotland) but not for a London company who will not be effected either way.
He’s living and working in England, he’s contributing to the English economy, that’s all that matters to them.

What do you know about Quebec and their Independence campaign’s, history, social and economic? Go on tell me?
i know nout. But would be nice to know what you know since you asked Mike the question about Quebec.
MWD says AYE

So JMcC wasn’t in the ones as bad as the other camp?
Is it revisionism, trying to live up to your blog name or just old age, in your case?
In JMcC’s case it was all the more incredible given that he claimed to be a Celtic man.
None of these names mentioned will be on your ballot paper next week.

I’m presuming that was a joke? If not all I can say is do your own research.

“I believe there is a professional club in a professional league in Europe that is being run by criminals”
At least the Sevco fans can rest easy…
cmon celtic fans vote yes next thursday
this is once in a lifetime opportunity
i reckon though england will vote to leave the e.u.in the next few years after scottish independence
Didn’t the majority of voters in Scotland elect the SNP to run the Scottish Parliament as a Majority… YES – Check
Was this after they ran a minority Government!? – YES
Didn’t the opposition parties push (remember – give us a date campaign) the Scottish Government to give a timeline on referendum – YES – we remember…
Didn’t the SNP use their mandate to get their number 1 policy out to the voters – YES – 8 days away…
So, according the Nay sayers, the people don’t like Salmond, his policies or Independence… However without the mandate given to him through an unprecedented Majority government in Scotland – this referendum would never have gotten off the ground… YES – Scottish People voted the Government in…
It’s our referendum…
We have gotten what we asked for in a democracy and people are telling you how to vote who don’t have a vote… AYE RIGHT Ernie & gang, you might as well have came up with David, Gideon and Clegg….

No fretting on independence from me. I can’t vote, due to that lengthy criminal conviction, but I am considered an appropriate candidate for a position of power at Ibrox…
———
I’m in a similar position re the conviction.
Unfortunately it involved the first experiment in trying to ascertain the wooden willy dilemma.
The judge said apparently the horse wasn’t wooden.

You obviously have not looked further than the end of your nose to produce that post.

What other Powers have you been gifted with oh wise one….
Perhaps it’s the power to read, and then, if appropriate, respond with the answers to the questions posed.
Go on, give it a try….
How about you letting me know where you’re yes men are going to “Ditch Trident”.
While you’re doing that, I’ll away and play on the internet.

Net income (profit) not revenue is down at Man Utd, largely as a result of a one off tax asset in last year’s accounts.
Revenue is up substantially year on year, 19%, to £433M.
The Champions League problem is one for this year and will cost them around £50M revenue.

Genuine question bhoys and ghirls-
Would you buy a used car from any of them?
Cameron- would wreck the nhs, bullingdon club, millionaire
Milliband- his brother knows more of him than we ever will. Ask David.

Trident – currently a deterrent used by the UK. In the event of a Yes vote, it will be under the control of rUK, where they put it is up to them.
After all why would they want a foreign country controlling their deterrent (aside from the fact it’s controlled by the US already).

You should have twigged that yourself. Wooden horses don’t do jobbies and I’m sure the fright caused a touch of bowel movement.
Hopefully you were tried in front of an Edinburgh jury…
FT today estimates Scotland’s 90% ownership of N.Sea oil (post split) will generate about £1.5 trillion more in revenues.

Could it be ?? Sounds familiar.
Bleacher report.
The former chief executive of the European Professional Football Leagues has claimed that a professional club in Europe is being run by criminals.

“Its all too little too late and obviously the wips have been busy,vested interests can sharpen minds.Did you see this wonderful commitment to Scotland before the yes vote became a reality?
Naw didnae think so.”
My answer would have been yes, if you had waited for me to answer the question posed, but it would have had the qualification that “their previous help was wrong-headed and did not fit our circumstances”
Now, that I have answered your question, in my way, perhaps you can answer mine, in your way.
Is there anything they could have done at any time that would have dissuaded you from your set opinion?

Thanks. Modern scan reading is useless..but….seriously..
Profit is down
Revenue increased
Net income is down.
Wish I’d taken accountancy now.

FX traders in Dubai offer less for the “Scotland Pound” as they call it and have been doing it for as long as I can remember.
For many years these exchanges would not even take scottish notes and many still don’t.

Sadly no. My case was heard in Coventry and the judge was some long, blonde haired, naked bird who went by the name of Godiva.
She wasn’t impressed that I’d used a wood cutting axe on a non wooden horse.
She took into account the distress this must have caused my equine friend before sentencing.

Godiva? I know her well. Nice lassie. Although I’ve lost touch with her in recent years.
As I remember she never overdressed for any occasion. Lovely hair though.
Desertbhoy,
There’s countries closer to home who implement the same policy.
The No vote effectively won today.
September 10th remembered as victory day.
Pipe dream anyway. Fantasy. Was never going to be allowed to happen.
Cameron tear jerking emotional speech clinched it today.
Breaking: BP just announced the more optimistic estimates of oil reserves are probably correct.
Thats good news for Scotland right?
Nope! Wrong ,,,,again!
There is now too much, prices will go down.
We cant rely on it, only Westminster can budget and allocate properly.
We’re too ‘thick’ you see.

Not at this point in the debate,I have not always been a supporter of independence its something I have come to later in life.I made my mind up towards the end of the last labour government,previously I had voted labour in every election,local,general,council since I was able to vote about 32 years ago.I became increasingly frustrated at the main parties chasing the same small number of seats in the south east of England and in doing so the policies have become indistinguishable from each other,you could hardly get a fag paper between them now.So I came to the decision that I would vote SNP in the hope that we could one day get an independence vote,looks like its worked out for me so far.
I’ll be happy as Larry if we get a yes vote and then I hope we can get a left of centre government in Scotland someday soon.

After a brilliant start to the season, Callum McGregor was very quiet v Dundee.
He was not the only one but perhaps he could do with a wee break?
Just wondering what our fellow Tims and SNP supporters are telling their friends, family and colleagues (yikes) who work at BAE on the Clyde, you know those whose jobs that you want ship south a minute after the election.
