Embarrassment for the guys at Newco who have to sign up to this guff

518

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.

    Was in Paul McGinns pub on Hope Street on the night of the Arsenal game in Paradise. A few gooner geezers accompanied by Chugg and his ICF junkie mob, caused a bit of bovver at the door and outside tables. What a laugh when us Tims got outside to welcome them to a Tim pub in Glesga. Can still hear the fear in them. :)

    Can’t stand either of them Hun bassa teams.

     

     

    Can’t stand Stupid FC more though even though they are a very young club who we have only played 3 times.

    Deffo the same goon/hun squad.

     

    Caused it for no reason, then got battered and chased:)

     

    Just desserts, they got what they were looking for, but came off very badly:)

  5. Aberdeen set a new bar for goals at home.

     

    Surely this lays down a challenge to Celtic for Saturday.

     

    Isn’t it great to have a joker and Celtic still in hand for the GFS competition?

  6. Wenger will no doubt say:

     

    That wasn’t us tonight. We are Arsenal FC. We don’t lose 5-1.

     

     

    Might also wake up in the morning to find that he resigned on the plane journey home.

    I actually thought they were ok, until i bumped into the half-wits in town.

     

    Strange mob.

    I’m gubbed but I’d imagine that anyone who still has the option of Celtic AND a joker will be rubbing their hands right now!

    I think it must be our foundations and background but rarely, here or down south, have I found it to be trouble free.

  10. When I lived in London the only fans that really annoyed me were Arsenal fans. They seemed to think that everybody’s big game was against them and everyone north of Luton was in awe of them (this was late 80’s early 90’s) Want them to lose every time..

    Ive been to quite a few grounds down south.

     

    Wasnt particularly pleased really….bored at Old Trafford, Anfield, and Goodison

     

    I was sick because i couldnt see the Celts:)

     

    Scouse Tim, Lpool fan i was with, i said to him….’This is ‘s***’:), you will never be Celtic:)

  12. Go Arsenal!

     

     

    Ten times our revenue, a hundred times our prize money, a squad worth hundreds of millions more.

     

     

    And to think the English had a snigger at the paucity of our game when Barca wiped the floor with us…

  13. mike in toronto on

    I seem to be in the minority, but I used to like the old arsenal teams with Jennings, Brady, Stapleton … .

    I have found us welcome at one ground down South only. Craven Cottage. Fought for my life twice at Old Trafford. Once against Cockney Reds wi knives. Leeds fans welcomed us in a game I was at mid 80’s, joining in the rebel songs. Was surprised that night. :)

  15. What you have to remember is that if Aberdeen had scored 3 less goals and Motherwell had scored 2 more it would have been a draw..

  16. Delaneys,

     

    just goes to show,

     

    Leeds is the only place i have had any bother down south,

     

    well apart from Middlesboro,but i think everyone had trouble down there

    Strange

     

     

    Bayern were better before Pep, and better again after Pep, maybe he just got lucky with the best Barca team ever

    Pat Jennings was better than Shilton.

     

    I loved when a big Irish Tim wore a Gold top, White pants and Green socks at Windsor Park. No sure how the huns felt?

    Those Cockney Reds were some crazy bucks

     

     

    Good friend of mine ( sadly died young 34 brain tumour) was a London Irish guy who was a Man Utd fanatic

     

    Travelled all over Europe with them

     

    He was the nicest gentlest guy you could meet but he knew a lot of those Cockney Reds …Crazies

  20. Tgm/DD

     

     

    I was referred to as a Fenian c@@@ outside Old Trafford by a Utd fan…from Ireland! :-)

  21. DD … how you doing pal?

     

     

    I remember seeing a picture of Jennings’ hands …. they were the size of shovels (Donald Trump would be jealous!)

     

     

    I’m like you …. although I always thought he should be playing for Ireland, I also liked the thought of the bigots being torn up seeing a big Paddy do so well for them!

    Not surprised, a lot of Manc fans are vile.

     

    My Scouse pals, really, really hate them,,,violently.

     

    Bad scene that one….saw it first hand at Anfield, slashings galore.

    We outnumbered the Leeds fans that night.

     

    Every Irishman in Yorkshire was in our end, givin it big licks wi us Scots in the snow. Polis and Leeds fans were magic that night.

  25. Met Pat Jennings one night in Magherafelt, Co Derry, and asked why he never played for Celtic – with a smile he said, ‘they never offered me enough money’, don’t know if he was serious – seemed like a nice lad. And yes, when I shook his hand, it was like trying to grab a shovel.
