I suppose we should start by heading the warning from Sevconian under-performer, Ian Black, who suggested that the Third Division is harder than the SPL. By this logic, Second Division Arbroath will terrify the life out of the Celtic defence ahead of their Scottish Cup tie tomorrow, they did, after all, put three goals past Inverurie Locos in the Third Round tie, and again in the replay.
Only Montrose
Having previously experienced the delights of Brechin, Forfar and the Dundee clubs, after tomorrow, the only Tayside club I will not have seen will be Montrose. These opportunities don’t come around often enough!
In all seriousness, Second and Third Division football is not difficult, it is essentially Keep Fit on the cheap. Celtic must deal with the sincere endeavour of their opponents while giving an opportunity for several fringe players to grace Celtic Park.
With our midfield already stretched by injury and suspension ahead of the Spartak game, Neil Lennon will want to guard this area of the team in particular. Spartak play their last game before heading to Glasgow tonight, at home to Zenit, who sit five points about them after 17 games. This is a huge game for Spartak and interim manager Valery Karpin, who will either succeed as interim, and be made permanent boss, or to fail and to also lose his general manager position.
Unusually for the Champions League, they have five days to recover before facing Celtic, a game Karpin is keen to win. Celtic will technically only have four days rest but the bulk of players likely to play in midweek will surely be rested tomorrow.
Spartak will be without striker Welliton, who travelled to Germany for an operation this week. Emmanuel Emenike, who scored twice against Celtic last month, is likely to lead the line. Emenike is a penalty box striker who is more than capable of exploiting gaps in the Celtic box. Karpin may instead opt to play target-man Artyom Dzuba as a sole striker. Dzuba is not a prodigious goal-scorer but he is able to hold play up and bring others into the game.
I loved media suggestions today that Sports Direct have a fight on their hands from other firms if they want their brand used to rename Ibrox. You have to admire the intellectual endeavour that goes into news coverage in this country. Sports Direct area THE key business partner for The Rangers. The only issue open to question is how much skin they are in the game for and what they get in return. Remember this when you’re buying sports kit for Christmas!
Lower league clubs will all surely be quaking in their boots at the news The Rangers will not only bring in well over £20m in a share issue, but could also earn countless riches from stadium naming rights. The leaked IPO PowerPoint presentation suggested the Offer for Subscription would commence on Monday. I am sure it is on-plan.

So deluded, I keep mainly tims and a few huns, mins, hibs and sheep, not one has said dead club,
I’m actaully surprised at some of the posts on here that you feel so confident.
Horrible picture I’ll paint here but:
New hun wins 3 promotions, to enter new super SPL. They spend millions (they don’t have of course) on players and beat Celtic to the title that year.
What do you think the SFA, SPL SKY BBC will record as their league title wins?

Vmhan, are you going to the game tomorrow? My elder Hermano and a couple of the Barrow Bhoys are coming up on the train.

In any world you care to mention THEY IS DEED
the_huddle,
I could buy an old Admiral’s uniform and change my name by deed poll to Bertie Windsor, but it wouldn’t make me King George VI.
The The Rangers fans can claim they’re the successor club to Rangers. I’ve no problem with that.
But they’ll never be the same club, because Rangers FC is dead.

‘If the player registrations didn’t transfer, then how come Elbows and others are with the new club?’
They elected to transfer to the new club.
Others didn’t.
Those others walked away.
For nothing.
Ach, I give up.
I’m off to the pub.
I might nip up to the Ally Parade & see if I can find a good Boozer.
Call yersels Glesca men ?
Ah I see so you post lots of fluff about they’ll never be the same club, I agree with all that.
My point is the naivety of CQN, what do you think the SFA, SPL will mark against new Hun when they win their first title?
At work today, I went to the stationery store for some board markers and highlighters. When I asked for various colours I was told that due to cutbacks there was only one colour of pen left for both. No Black, Red or Blue markers, no yellow blue orange or pink highlighters. There was however box upon box of green.
The sad thing is, the place is full of so called would be intellectuals but only two out of the thirty or so are from Larkhall.
the_huddle,
Institutionalised corruption doesnt mean you have to accept it.

Tut tut ,I don’t mind the Nazi bit,but I would never harm a puppy.
If so have you ever jumped into a raging sea to save one?
The SFA can resolve this 140 years nonsense in an instant.
But they are cowards. We all know this.

Is it the only street named after a scud book?
I’ve spoken to a few of the more compos mentis zombies of my aquaintance, and asked them, if the club and company are separate, what exactly is a club comprised of?
None of them has ever been able to answer that coherently.
I don’t accept it, I don’t have a choice about it. Do you think you do?
When the new huns win their first title how many titles do you think the SFA SPL will register?
I’d love it to be 1 but I think we all know it won’t be.
The huddle
If any sevconian tells you they are the same club just ask them why their saviour Charles Green offered to pay £8.5m for something he could get for £5.5m and do they trust a business man like that with their NEW CLUB

I’ve never had a hun tell me anything about their club, i avoid talking about football with them. I’m more interested in the SFA and SPL.
the_huddle
Is that an online suicide note? An outing?
Even though I have some sympathy with you’re view that they are not officially dead, your fantasy about 3 succesive promotions and a first time SPL win is straight from the Charlie Chuckles Fantasy Factory.
Sevco are being regarded by our Press much in the same way that the Politburo regarded Andropov and Chernenko; they know they’re deid but they don’t want to announce it.
They may, if authorities continue to look the other way and can ignore the decomposing bad smell, get away with this fraud at an official level. They may even get to dump a lot of debt.
But, that is a far cry from being financially healthy and thriving. Ticketus have not gone away. Craig Whyte has not gone away. Other swindled parties have not gone away. They will remain hamstrung for money, players, ground and revenue for a long time to come while major court battles go on about their will and legacy.
I’m bulk buying popcorn to sit back and watch this show.

I agree with you.

I see David Leggat has been told to take down the blog he wrote today by the Police, who threatened him with a breach of the peace charge if he didn’t delete it.
About time someone reined him in a wee bit.

They are deed man, you are convincing no-one on here,
Ask UEFA, they are deed, no more, bash their head on the bench they won’t respond, BDO have taken control and they are in liquidation, DoDo.
Check out this…
http://www.uefa.com/teamsandplayers/teams/club=50121/profile/index.html
Check out the day of their last game, they update every day, maybe you should contact them and tell them about it.
the _huddle,
The big lie they are trying to get away with is that the plc were the handling company, when in fact MIH were the handling company.
The plc were liquidated, its only business was the ltd company, remember it was the ltd company which brought down the plc, the ltd company were responsible for all the plc’s debt.

I see your point, IF they win their first title it will be their first, you and I know that, if you want to give up before it happens and their media claim it as an add on to tainted historical titles then on you go. But we all know this wee daft third division club are starting from scratch, the media know it but will go along with the follow follow line.
Lets wait and see if they get close to challenging then see if they can over turn the Mighty Celtic before we worry about how their tainted media who we know fabricate things and who no one listens to report it.

Should have been “your view” not “you’re view”.
I’m spelling like a sevcovian now
the huddle
that is where you are making a mistake ,you are giving a flying fek about what the SFA do.
The IMO have been complicit in the whole affair (scam) from day one and that’s long before CW was ever on the scene .
Regan was asked on TV if ragers were gone and he ducked the question and said it’s up to the fans to decide
IF THAT SPINELESS GIT KNEW THEY WERE THE SAME CLUB HE WOULD HAVE HAD A PRESS CONFERENCE TO DECLARE IT .
sorry for the rant my friend but we all know he would have took great pleasure in doing so ,oh and by the way the hack asking the question did not deem it necessary to have him elaborate on his answer
HH
No offence mate, but I’m not trying to convince you of anything. We are stubborn and I accept that.
This site is great and it has its world view, yet I think it’s different to rest of the world.
Happy to be proved wrong.
Caught a bit of Snyde tonight when BFDJ was getting it tight (from a number of callers) about the upcoming 140 years memorial service:
BFDJ: he would be on the pitch and in the eyes of their supporters they would always retain their history no matter what has happened.
Ned Flanders: of course they will – supporters (no matter what’s happened) will always cling on to their history and………… that includes losing 7-1 in a League Cup Final.

Buying popcorn and jelly n ice cream in bulk may cause panic buying, I suggest we all just stock up and keep calm this is a long drawn out process.

How did they get an answer from him ,who sobered him up

I have never heard Challs, Ally or any other SevcoFC spokesperson being challenged by our national media when they claim they are the same club with the same history.
They are allowed to peddle their lies and the msm are happy to promote it without arguement.
As the_huddle says, we’ll see what name’s put on the first trophy the new club wins.
I’ll be anyone a bottle of sparkling rose wine it’s not TRFC.

As I’ve posted above, do you not think CQN is living in a bubble?
I know the huns are dead, I accept they are dead. I tell the 2 hun mates I have that they are dead (I really need to get out more :O)
I know the response is so what we know they are dead, but what are the record books going to say?
The huddle
The SFA were falling over themselves to re admit them …
Who gives a feck what they think
