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.

Better said than I ever could. I just ‘know’ in my bones that the msm will spin this for all the negativity they can create. Tossers. Never ones to let truth or compassion to get in the way.

Ive seen better days – the cure was overtaken by greed yesterday which hasnt helped me. I suppose it would be a tad harsh to blame a 1yr old child on not understanding what daddy having a hangover is all about either!
I believe yesterday went down very well too – the bhoys lasted another 12hr+ session, surprising because from the ones I seen before leaving they were all ready for crying.
did yous stay away from them or meet up for a bevvie and just hoping the bus had a toilet in it!?
Glad they found somewhere for all those wee Ragers Union Jacks.

Met up with them in hotel bar drinking until we had to leave for the bus then into Bar67 when we returned. I ended up in at my neighbours until 3am so it will be early to jammies tonight.
Wouldn’t mind a wrestling match with Jessie J.

are you around?

Bhoys growing up watching Mcenroe and Borg I never believed I would see a Scot competing at this level in tennis.
He is a great ambassador for Scotland and a beacon for young Scots.
Andy Murray i salute you.
Heard someone on the news say that lizzie was descended from Robert the Bruce. I must have missed b the history lesson where they told us about Bruce going to Germany and fathering weans over there. Here was me thinking he spent most of his time in caves watching spiders.
Ain’t history wonderful.

Murray is dressed like the ned down the local park who only plays tennis the week after Wimbledon.
He is probably referring to his racquet as ‘his ‘bat’.
==============================
You probably would have believed Jinky too ‘scruffy’ to play for Celtic.
Go on Andy Murray. The kid’s different class.
Dio mio! They’ve exhumed Cliff Richard!
Is the ROI game on the telly, Fholks ?
Prince Harry’s bodyguards are now boogying with ole Cliff.

Worked with these bluff Yorkshire types before, the clue is “bluff”!
Easy prediction for later this month, if the Shame avoid the Big L then the 1st team squad will not be paid their wages in full, more negotiations, promises of testimonials , you name it , some players seeking legal advice to move on. Hard to keep up with the farce.
“logic” dictates that the Shame will be suspended , which itself will only be actioned if they face another disrepute charge in the next 2 years. When the dual contract fiasco hits then their suspension will kick in.

Agree.
Don’t recall reading about Robert the Bruce

Fair enough – I enjoyed the craic in the Irish Centre.
Doing the conga when Rangers die around the bar probably wasnt the most subtle way to introduce yourself to the locals mind – but I thought those English ones who were in to watch the England game seemed to be more than accomodating
does he ever not look tired and emotional.
Fair play to Cliff,he’s had a crap record for
every decade of our glorious leaders reign.
lang lang playing the morecame and wise favorite.
the right notes not in the right order.

I just thought it was amusing to see Murray dressed like that. He can wear whatever he wants.
Meanwhile, looking at Cliff, cryogenics must be working.
Good news for me Bhoys and Ghirls, that’s me sorted for tickets for the Real Madrid game in Philadelphia. See the advantage of having a cousing in Philly?
She says the radio adverts were goning bonkers over the weekend, since Friday morning, and that she couldn’t get any of the tickets under the ‘Celtic Suppoerts’ category as they were largely taken up already so I’m in with the Yankee toffs.
Anyway, if there are any travel-agent type Tims on, or anyone with ideas of getting reasonably to either Philadelphia or Newark, any info/advice would be much appreciated.
just one cornetto
jelly n ice cream csc
The lad singing the walls ice cream song
isnae bad.
vic reeves on now
As expected, jelly and ice cream makes an appearance at Her Maj’s shindig.
We could do a lot worse than sending John Park over to Hungary to look at players – their passing, movement and intensity is outstanding!
Can’t mind who it was on here that was at Newcastle at the weekend.
Eyes wide open, is it on the tv?
Anyone know what time U2 come on at?

It was moi and excellent EWO was also in attendance.

I suspect that football scouts are tripping over each other daily in airports worldwide.
Our scouting organisation is probably as decent as any in the world. But cos it’s Celtic then automatically we do it on the cheap.
Bournes
They are on after the Pogues.
