I’ve read yesterday’s statement from prospective Rangers owner, Charles Green, a few times now, without really understanding what the point was. When someone issues an unexpected statement the reason is usually obvious. Not on this occasion.
Published on the official Rangers web site it once and for all confirmed that Duff and Phelps were acting with the approval of Green when they took the SFA to the Court of Session, thereby bringing the entire Scottish game into a potential disrepute situation with Fifa.
Mr Green will now be fully aware of the ramifications of Rangers court action. They failed in their attempt to have the matter referred back for consideration to the Judicial Panel and, as Paul McConville pointed out yesterday, cannot be ejected from the Scottish Cup. They are not currently participating in the Scottish Cup, and suspension from a future season’s Cup is not an available punishment.
His legal advice is now likely to conclude that his actions will soon lead to suspension from the Scottish FA. There is, however, an interesting theme through Green’s short statement that might indicate why his statement was issued:
“I nor my investors wish to see an outcome that would be to the detriment of Scottish Football”.
“….suspension or termination of Rangers Football Club membership of the SFA. That in our view would be a disaster for Scottish football”.
“Expulsion from the Scottish Cup is itself a very serious punishment which would also have a severe impact on Scottish football”.
We are heartened to hear the interests of Scottish football are so core to Mr Green’s heart. This being the case, he will possibly protect Scottish football by asking the SFA to impose the now-illegal player registration ban on Rangers and beg them not to refer the matter back to the Appellate Panel. The horse has bolted on this one but it’s possibly worth a punt.

If I see leadership of some sort coming from the Celtic hierarchy then, I will back that leadership’s cause.
But, Celtic PLC seems to be full of faceless wonders who, want to pick up an executive salary but, seem incapable of making executive decisions.
Follow the leader – CSC

There were about 20 of them outside Ibrox the day they went into administration. That’s the reality of the situation. They got less than 600 people on their recent 1872 toddle – if they can’t muster the enthusiasm to stroll round the ground they are unlikely to organise a riot.
There were actually more of them outside Ibrox the day they ended their sectarian signing policy – but for decades before that we were told the ground would be empty if the Huns ever signed a Catholic.
That was another myth.

So your idea of executive leadership is for Celtic to get into a slagging match with the country’s gutter press and when they do that then you’ll stop getting your Record.
Why don’t you write to one of the faceless wonders and explain the situation to them??
The fact that executive decisions taken by the board that have resulted in a well run solvent club with a very exciting and forward thinking youth policy seem to have been lost on you, maybe it didn’t make the Record..
Was talking to a journalist pal last night who thinks Forster might delay any decision till after the Euros.
A few clubs are showing interest but look like they will wait for the transfer merry go round to start before making offers.
Apparently the pre-arranged fee is only between us and Newcastle.

So I was told Tom but I have one or two others to read first.
Is anybody else hearing whispers that the judgement on the big tax case is in and it is not good news?

No, seriously….I think the huns would organise several marches with pitch-forks etc.
I think there could be carnage at ne`erday when Celtic and Thistle fans clash outside the ground.
Mort,
Where was that article on Celtic’s youth programme taken from?

yesterday would have been very apt as they sat on their unpaid for sofas waving their wee union flags, proclaiming loyalty to a german woman that they wont pay tax to.

We’ll find out soon enough.
In the unlikely event they do actually decide to cause civil disorder it won’t change anything, so it matters not a jot.

Technically the sofas aren’t unpaid. DFS do a buy now pay next year deal I believe.
It’s a bit like a Hun transfer. HP FC.

Thats a seismic shift from the “buy now dont pay at all” approach historically taken.

I’ve said it many times be fore on here and, i’ll say it again….

kitalba –
I got a text from my son about 2am this morning telling me he was told that the BTC verdict was imminent -” within a week”. He works for Standard Life and gets all sorts of information, especially about Hearts.
So there may be something in what you have heard.

What is a pair of bahashhashs?
There’s a famous Experiment (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experiment)
Basically it tests for deferred gratification.. Children being offered a marsh mallow now or taking part in a question session and getting 2 at the end.. Fascinating stuff. Conducted in 1972 by a Professor from Stansford University.. Followed by a longitudinal survey of how those involved in the experiment faired in life.
Those that delayed gratification tended to do better.
I feel a bit like that re Huns. I suspect the rewards of them
Not being booted out now might outweigh immediate expulsion..
Imagine the unrelenting joy of watching them
Getting gubbed and withering as a football force over the next 3 years.. Before expiring completely. Then again – marshmallow now – is tempting!

I didn’t have too much trouble understanding him when he was encouraging us all to vote Tory at the last election, and have had no trouble totally ignoring the rest of the nonsense that’s come oot his gob since then either.
