PSG were wonderful last night. They served up a great night of European football as we witness what may be the end of the greatest team of all time.
Mark Warburton fired his opening salvo against Newco with a joint statement with Davie Weir and Frank McParland issued through the League Managers’ Association today:
“We would like to formally place on record, that at no stage did we resign from our positions at Rangers.
“It is a matter of surprise to us, and to the League Managers Association, which is advising all three of us, that despite its detailed public statements, the club has not answered key questions put to it by the LMA, in writing, requesting an explanation of why it suggested that we resigned from our positions.”
I’m cringing with embarrassment on behalf of the guys at Newco who have to sign up to this guff, Stewart Robertson in particular, who has titular hands on the wheel but must feel like a hostage to fortune. This is not how he ran things at Motherwell.
More lawyers’ fees, more reputational damage, less chance of a credible future.

Reputational damage? One thing Sevco and its predecessor do NOT do is “reputational damage”. They’ve survived a history of institutionalised sectarianism, premeditated cheating, Manchester riots and apparently a liquidation event. Hello, by the way.
Bit of chat today about now long gone Scottish industries where Ludge Degrees were of greater importance than Uni Degrees.
Can anyone put a name to the allegedly lone Bowler Hat wearing Tim on the Clydeside shipyards?
Maybe this is one for Tontine Tim.

I think the money is from a couple of places, the far east and NI, glibby would have probs getting money out of SA imo.
It’s no rocket salad to see what is going down, yet the polis and the fraud squad are turning their blind eye, the masonic cabal and it’s all seeing eye.

THOMTHETHIM FOR OSCAR OK on 15TH FEBRUARY 2017 5:16 PM
We were based in the carpenters shop and did repairs on the firewalls on the roofs. The first job we did though was rebuilding the wall that ran down the side of the yard where the punters used tae jump over.
We had a 5 week old baby at the time so the money earned was a god send although Connolly’s seen a wee bit of that on a Saturday.

HE GREEN MAN SAYS SACK THE BOARD on 15TH FEBRUARY 2017 9:51 AM
The shipyards. I reckon Tontine Tim has some interesting views on that period, hope he expands a bit.
I believe hardened Unionists and much worse, circa 1912, made a move from Belfast in fairly significant numbers quickly spreading their warped world view…cough. And you know how amused peepil can be with novelty toys.
John Knox has a lot to answer for.
*as has the wee fairy dikeplugger who instigated the Massacre of Glencoe”. Hard tae bevel that some so called Scots sing his praise.
I have written extensively about the anti-Celtic stance that has been taken since the authorities realised that the nice wee team fae the east end of Glasgow was now a threat tae the calvinistic domination held by the Spiders and then the Hi Hi.
If the SFA had their way we could be going back to a time 118 years ago when a plucky wee side from the east end of Glasgow in only their 10th year in existence won their 4th League title in a competition that was only in its 8th season.
While the Kinning Park boatmen had only half a title to its name, the other half belonged to the Super Sons, even though they had been around for 26 years by then.
After they won 4-in-a-row we ourselves embarked on a record setting 6-in-a-row run. This must have grated the custodians at Park Gardens and the fix was now on tae stop the tarriers.
By this time the original establishment club had remained amateur and were no longer a power house and their favoured successors Third Lanark failed tae live up tae their early promise with only won 1 solitary title which would remain their one and only until their demise in that great year of 1967.
Other strong sides from the infancy of the game, 1st shared title winners and 2nd year champions Dumbarton, World Champion and alma mata of our 1st captain and 1st goalscorer Renton and the Vale of Leven who ten years before that great Renton side travelled down to England and beat the FA Cup winners The Wanderers 3-1 at Kennington Oval, were from small towns and villages that could not sustain a major side anymore.
The season after their 4-in-a-row win archbigot primrose ure became chairman of the former West End Park side and immediately “pledged” the original boating club to the “craft”.
Until 1920 they were run fairly honestly and then two men went out tae row and only one returned.
Primrose ure and the new manager now started tae recruit among the ranks of goat shaggin and tangerine ludges, not just players but fans, business associates, tradesmen, clerks, accountants, policemen, judicial officers of the court and most importantly the media who would champion the cause of the new establishment club, quietly in some places but very vocally from the stands and terracing. This quickly allowed them to have amazing success in the League championship.
Until that black arts proclamation they had won only 6 Championships and 4 Scottish Cups compared to our 10 Leagues and 8 Cups even though they had been in existence 16 years longer than us.
However, they did struggle in the one off cup games which we were more successful in but in a period of 45 years and prior to the return of the Big Mhan we only won 6 more titles.
Great players who walked through the Parkhead Gates such as the Prince of Goalscorers James Edward only won 3 championship badges, Jimmy Delaney and Malky McDonald 2 each, Patsy Gallacher 2, Willie and Jimmy McStay only 1 each after “The Pledge”, Charles Patrick, John McPhail, Sean Fallon Bobby Collins Willie Fernie only 1 each.
And the greatest goalie the world has ever seen “from the Wellesley Fife he came” none. This was during a period that the history books record as “Celtic had begun to stutter in the 1920’s having been a powerful side up to then. The zombies were now (with favour from certain quarters) achieving repeat success.”
Now I know that fingers will be pointed at our board’s parsimonious “biscuit tin” mentality but until the summer of 1967 that rotten mob wurnae exactly throwing other people’s money about like a man with no erms. A man with no legs would do that later.
There is a God though and their arrogance and comeuppance came in the guise of a rugby supporting ayrshire rag and bone man whose egotism to not only emulate or even surpass the genius that was Celtic but also tae loosen the pockets and wallets of those that were so blind they wouldn’t see.
The fact that we managed tae accumulate titles and trophies through the years is down tae the amazing support who have stood by the club through all the adversity that has been thrown at it.
As the late great TB said “They’re there and they’re always there and God bless every one of them.”
Don’t think that that mob of free transfers and loan players will not be a threat. It’s not them or Clarence and his pride of lieins that we have tae worry about.
The main threat resides at humpden. Not one SFA, SFL SPL or sevco minded match official has been fired, Ok the Bothwell windae salesman got the sugar lump but that was at the insistence of the RC Church and even then he landed on his feet with a job in Geneva where he still wields his Anyone But Celtic power, the only acceptable punishment, as proven by the Court of Sessions was expulsion and they refused to do that
They have plenty of their games televised; both at home and abroad, in an effort tae make them out as still a big club. FFS they got tae pick the officials for their games. Since the 3rd Division they’ve always had Premier League Officials. Not forgetting the home draws in the cups. WTF is that all about if not tae ensure their survival. But for the incompetence of their last 4 managers they would be challenging us by now.
Celtic Football Club 129 years of distinguished honesty.

Gordybhoy/BadaBing ..
Honestly, I dont know much about him (except from what I recall of the stories in the newspapers over the years)….. so, it is possible that I may have the wrong impression of him ….
but even the few tweets of his that I saw made me think he was a complete and utter bellend!
(no asterisk this time …. Bellend! Bellend! Bellend! I’m saying it loud and proud! I’m going all out for my first deletion! woo hoo!)

Sorry Gordy, just back on.
I don’t know for sure, but why would managers bother with affiliation to this body if it had no standing to represent them?
Tontine Tim
Thank you my friend, just what we were after:)
Dont know if you ever make back often, if you do, id be glad to swap a few tales.

I’v been caching up on that Dunblane incident or rather tragic event, the cover ups are shocking, absolutely shocking, not that I’m shocked as I got caught up in free Mason set up when I was in Canada, it’s a long story, just out of the blue I was right in the middle of one of the we need to cover this up Tony,
Well Tony wasent up for that, and it got messy, anger and friendships where lost, a wee bit physical nothing serious, but I came out holding my ground, it wasent pretty, only after it I sat down months later and thought, wow! Wtf was that, you would need to experience it, and hopefully none of you do.

Good evening, friends.
I know we all like a good laugh at Sevco but I must say I find it strange that we are mocking them when they are trying to involve the community as volunteers…
So a song for the Sevco Volunteers.

Was told by my dad that when asked the which school question to say Clyde Street, not Our Holy Redeemers.
TONTINE TIM on 15TH FEBRUARY 2017 5:45 PM
Thanks for that post.
Running out of money, running out of time. Hoping for a miracle. That’s the Ibrox Sevco right now.
We know that PSG are the chequebook plaything of individuals who seemingly have a bottomless pit of money and yes they played some great football against Barcelona who looked a pale shadow of the team adored by all football fans. It proves what can be achieved by a team from a so-called weaker league.

Didn’t need my dad to tell me what school a went to when they asked me, a just told them, never found it a hindrance to be honest with you, prob. Lucky a suppose.

Ray ‘Drunk Driver’ Wilkins recently described the French League as a ‘pathetic’. It’s worth bearing in mind that PSG are neck and neck at the top with Nice and Monaco, the same Monaco who dumped Spurs out of the CL.
