You know what I think, defeats from rivals only do limited damage, the toxic poison comes from within. Internecine strife, Bear on Bear action, can rip Newco apart.
I don’t know what Lee Wallace and our old pal Kenny Miller said to Graeme Murty on Sunday, but if it was along the lines of ‘You are out of your depth, incapable of operating at this level and exposed for what you are’, they would be correct. That doesn’t make them right, though.
Speaking truth to the boss sounds like a good idea but commonly all it does is isolate you, weaken the boss and make everyone’s job more difficult. Kenny Miller reached the Champions League knock out stages under Gordon Strachan, he knows what a good manager looks like. Along with the rest of the world, he knows Murty is vulnerable and out of his depth, but it is not ethically, or tactically, a good thing to expose his vulnerability.
Whatever Miller and Wallace said was almost certainly right, but ethically it is up there with the solicitor-cum-tax advisor-cum-porn star-cum-convict Paul Baxendale Walker, who was Sir David Murray’s chief architect at Oldco and who faced a bankruptcy court hearing this week.
What an absolute shower.
Loved the statements yesterday. ‘We’re so upset we are going to be quiet’, is Pythonesque. It sits alongside ‘I fart in your general direction’ as an absurd masterpiece.
Just brilliant that another fan group caught the zeitgeist by telling fans “Millions have been ploughed into the club by the current board”. So let’s not be hastily apportioning blame to Dave and Co. I hope neither group realise how much fun they give.

Absolutely destroying them here,

Savage.
I wish people, who should know better, stop using the phrase “title decider”.
It is not a decider. The destination of the title has been virtually decided weeks ago.
It is a potential “title clincher”.
Afternoon all
Just beat the Hibs and get the title in the bag.
2-0 V Hibs THEN a 7-0 just to remind them of our position on going for 10,

Now that dust is starting to settle and my Schadenfreude addiction is back under control, I’d like to ask WITS if the delendification of Carthage is now complete?
They seem to be doing to whole sowing their lands with salt bit themselves though…

Interesting parallels to Res12 in latest case of Sion v UEFA CFCB. (Taken from SFM)
teams that have broken FFP rules 2017-2018 season. Hope this link works. Worth a read.
===========
The most interesting case is that of Sion who had an overdue payable of transfer money at 31 March.
Sion misrepresented the position at 31st March so a licence should not have been granted. This will apply to the 2011 licence issued to RFC.
In justifying their decision CFCB made a couple of references to the precedence set by the Giannina FC case, which is part of the case built under Res12.
Interestingly CFCB did not pursue whether the Sion misleading was intentional, but that did not alter the fact that the licence should not have been awarded and Sion were fined the amount they earned from participation in the EL as result of licence being awarded incorrectly.
The position at Rangers is slightly complicated by the fact that those responsible for applying for the licence ie SDM’S Board, who presented the status of the licence as “potential” when it wasnt after accepting QC advice to accept the liability, were not the same Board who continued with the same misleading line in June and Sept and neglected to provide SFA with key documentation before UEFA were presented with the list of licenses granted in May 2011.
Res12 requested that the process in 2011 be investigated, not just the granting and based on the evidence from March to Sept 2011 it is stretching credulity way past breaking point to say that the misrepresentation at each stage was not intentional.
That of course might not deter the SFA or SPFL given they have already accepted the LNS finding that no dishonesty was involved.
After all they think they can tell football supporters what they like and the supporters will buy it.

Thanks for this document – I do love UEFA documents, they always through up something interesting.
Like, for example, the fact that Charles Flint QC was an Adjudicator. The same Charles Flint who has the following in his bio on Blackstone Chambers website:
“In September 2012 he was appointed as a member of the commission set up by the Scottish Premier League to investigate the affairs of Glasgow Rangers Football Club.”
I wonder what his views were way back then????

It gets better: Ibrox Noise saying that Miller started kicking off before the game when he realised he wasn’t playing! Accuses him of sowing discord in the dressing room BEFORE the team went out!
KTF
If Celtic beat Hibs, Murty will have some tactical positioning to work out for the next game…..
For the guard of honour.
Have they not suffered enough
All together now ????

A gem from 1960 . Around the time of a 5-1 loss at home to the Deady Bears . Life went on !
Btw, I know the story about Hummel being the next kit sponsor is funny, but…
The real funny bit is them believing that they will get £15M up front from Hummel. What are they smoking???
Hummel’s annual turnover is in the region of £75M. There is no chance the deal will be worth even £15m over 5 years! Let’s see if Jabba runs with this as the next squirrel…

……and what do you mean ” imagined” me to be.
Sure haven’t you met me and seen for yourself?
Losing (even heavily) to a much better team is not exactly unusual in football.
If they must insist they are the “same club” , they should at least realise that they only won things in the past by spending lots of money they didn’t have on players they couldn’t afford.
Pog, all well here in Dundee. Just having lunch with B, following Children’s Panel Hearing this morning. Trust all well with you and yours. H H
Should have finished off with “woof woof”, seeing as we are in Frankie and Bennys ( for Big Packy)….
