The proposed SFA rule change, that clubs must conduct an investigation into prospective new owners, went through unopposed at the Association’s AGM, currently underway at Hampden. No formal rules must be observed during this investigation, not even the ‘Gandhi criminal rule’ postulated by (still) SPL chief executive, Neil Doncaster, so a club can look into the matter as deeply as they see appropriate and the former owner can claim he was “duped” after the money appears in his bank account.
This does not strengthen efforts to keep unfit people from owning Scottish clubs, if anything, it provides errant clubs with a defence. Previously it was explicitly the club’s responsibility to ensure owners were fit and proper, now the club’s responsibility is limited to carrying out an unspecified value judgement. Tune in soon to hear “We carried out an investigation consistent with best practice, why punish us?”
In this instance, value judgements are worth as much as Ibrox valuations. It’s not the rules that are wrong, the only problem is one club didn’t respect the rules and doesn’t like the medicine.
No mention yet of the dark Fifa cloud hanging over the Association. Perhaps it’s slipped their mind.

Nothing to worry about. Once they all pay for season tickets, and re-name murray park, by default:
FIFA goes away
Two contracts go away
Creditors disappear in a puff of smoke.
BTC was only a dream.
Ticketeybus was parks of hamilton.
Sing what you want.
Bet the debentures holders who will take a big haircut on the CVA cannae wait for the ballot papers.
This guy has been well briefed on what these buffoons wish to hear. I’m liking him more that our previous hero already. And he doesn’t even have the legal authority to propose such. I’m sue craig has briefed him on the warchest card. Green is good.
Ah blame free prescription drugs.

ANNAOAN I can’t speak for others but speaking for myself I don’t know what else I can say, when I became aware of the facts I said it was wrong and the punishment should be whatever the rules say. Obviously I’ll be sad if Rangers fold but apart from looking for the scores and watching the odd game on the box I’ve sort of lost touch and interest in senior football. The only senior game I’ve been to recently was the LC semi final and that was because it was between two Ayrshire teams.
Jobo Baldie Quite surprising to see a Celtic fan with a good historical knowledge of Rangers, I think that would be a great idea, founder member, first Captain and first internationalist, a lot better than Murray Park in my opinion
Evening Bhoys!
Surely they cannot sell season tickets if they are still in admin????

Saint Stivs:
The fact that father time himself won player of the year a few years ago has to be the biggest condemnation of our Jurassic park football in Scotland. What age is auld man Weir? His DNA probably can’t even be carbon dated. It probably predates the earliest known life forms. When Faither’s wean, Methuselah, was only a glint in his eye he dreamed of hacking down strikers with his yeti sized foot. Even though he was slower than treacle down a sloths back he rarely, if ever received any bookings, despite routinely being booked and even sent off in the hun Euro campaign. If a striker darted by him like he was a geriatric slug in slow motion, or my wife in a shop, he would pull them back and like clockwork the ref went all rainman, momentarily forgetting where his yellow cards were placed on his masonic person. That is why faither time could stroll lazily through the SPHell like Beckanbauer at a hazy Sunday lunch. It made me sick. It was a rerun of Gough. It happened with winking Bougerra (no more blatent than theserial assaults on Keane at Ibrokes). There was no better proof for the compromised competency of our lazy Scottish refs than Weir going so frequently unpunished for pathological fouling on an obsessive compulsive scale.

Don’t the season tickets currently belong to TIcketus? Has that deal already been suspended or does it hold until liquidation?
Edward Ursus –
I think you’re giving me some undeserved credit there. My post at 19:16 was that I had no idea who Moses was (no, I know who ‘that’ Moses was but not the one connected to Rangers). It was my cyber-colleague prestonpans bhoys at 19:18 who solved the mystery. However I’m always surprised and grateful when anyone takes notice of my occasional posts so for that I thank you!

Charles Green has added that if you buy two season tickets, he’ll change his name to Blue.
Has anyone seen Whytey lately?
Is he hiding in the warchest?
Oh no he’s not! Oh yes he is!
Is an asset stripper in a warchest dead AND alive at the same time?
Its a case for Inspector Shrodinger.

Re the Jame Stokes VC memorial in Gorbals Rose Garden .
I pass it every Saturday morning on my way to play 5 a sides and last Saturday I was shocked to see the memorial, which takes the form of a sculpted six feet poppy, fenced off.
The poppy stalk was at a 45 degree angle and the leaves were lying on the ground.
However there was a sign attached to the fence which said the memorial was undergoing maintenance.
I was particularly interested because a good friend of mine is the Principal Teacher at St Brigid’s in Toryglen and his Primary 7 children recently won a national competition organised by Poppyscotland.
Their short film, “James Stokes – A Gorbals Hero” won many plaudits and can be viewed at thepoppyscotland website. I understand it may be entered in the Berlin Film Festival’s children’s section.
Needless to say the poppy and its symbolism has caused heated debate in the Celtic community in recent times and in my opinion the issue has been somewhat hijacked.
I certainly do not want to start another poppy debate however the St Brigid’s children directed by their Principal have made a very poignant film.
One of the “props” in the film is a 1965 edition of the Victor comic which illustrated the heroic deeds of James Stokes which led to his VC award.
The Victor was provided by the James Stokes VC Celtic Supporters Club. captu The film

Word from the admins. Is that they have “cancelled” the deal. I plan to do a similar thing with my mortgage and will perhaps raise an action to recover payments made to date.
