“If the players choose not to transfer they will then be in breach of contract” said Charles Green yesterday. How desperate is this man? Rangers players, every single one of them, work for Rangers Football Club PLC, a company which come Friday will no longer employ them. They have a contract with Rangers Football Club PLC but the company is unable honour those contracts. Some players may choose to accept a job offer from Sevco, but Sevco has absolutely no right to intimidate or make legal claims on them. It can certainly not make threats based on breach of a contract another company is actually breaching.
The important question for you to consider is not whether Green is correct in his claim (he is not), it is why is he making such a statement? Why mislead people and attempt to intimidate Rangers employees in this way?
Charlie doesn’t even have the keys yet and it looks like he is already miles off plan. We like Charlie. Lots.

Richard Gough has stated the club he played for is now dead!
Better tell the other bares Richard, as they seem to think they keep their tarnished stars…
There’s no way that newclub should have direct access to SFL 3, there are other clubs up for that place and the newbhuns should take their place in the queue just like Alistair does in Greggs…
Mark Hately just on the radio there, saying Liquidation will be like a new signing …

How can a Club that has no license be allowed an SPL vote?
How can you be allowed to use a vote on something that allows you to influence an outcome that will be in your favour? They’re hardly likely to vote “no”- is that compatible with the democratic process?
How can a New Club be allowed to gain access to SPL if there is no precedence for such a course of action?
None of this makes sense to me.
Celtic First,
I hope that they seriously scrutinise the Phoenix, but years of experience and suspicion tell me that there willbe some kind of comfort offered.
Hope that I am wrong, of course.

Precedents are set when decisions are taken on new scenario’s. This is a precedent setter, either way.

For the times they are a-changin’
Yeh the hun take on it, is Div 3 not as sorry for their years of cheating but to teach us all a lesson and how we need their bigoted pound.
Could it be a full circle now and the huns heading back to crowds like when Grieg was their manager.
Here’s hoping.
I stated earlier a part of me would like to see Newclub in the SPL getting humped.
Just read the on-line addition of The Hun and Andy Goram.
I take my statement back and apologise to everyone on CQN.
Burn in Hell rangers!!

Got me typing like a hun, I am so angry. :0)
There is no precedent for a vote on a new club entering the SPL. That’s why they had to write new rules to cover it.
Has the exact text of the new rules been released?

Exactly. It just happens to be in preparation to be set up as a precedent now- why? Because it’s Ra Peepul. Any other club, even us, and this wouldn’t even be an issue…it would be a black and white scenario.
Motherwell supporters had previously released a statement that they did not want a Newclub allowed back in. They even had posters put up at every turnstile.
David Murray asked the huns to subscribe to a £50 mill share-issue ?
The huns walked away!
Fergus McCann offered Celtic fans the chance to buy share’s in ‘THEIR’ club ?
The share-issue was over, over, over, over- subscribed!!!
No more needs to be said. imo.

Can you imagine a whole passel of rankers (dead) ‘players’ being hauled off in metaphorical shackles to play against Stranraer in an icy gale?
I mean no disservice to Stranraer but have you ever been there in the depths of winter? On a football pitch? And losing?
Coz that’s where the zombie hordes are going.
Incredibly stupid huns.

KTF!
It would be sweet to get a Div 3 KingBilly’s XI in the League or Scottish Cup and hump them 9 or 10 nil.
Something’s lost and can’t be found
Please, St. Anthony, look around.
new article posted.
Heard Hateley reckons its like a new signing, said today he’s meeting up with Goram sporting his old black arm band and Gazza will lead the trio round the debtdome mimicking playing the flute on his fishing rod.
Wits no tae like.

I work with some M/well fans and, they now feel that they were cheated out of the League Championship in 1995 i think ?
When big Eck was M/wells manager.
Just been called a ‘bigot’ by my bowling club type neebur. I was talking to a fellow Tim in the street about my sheer joy at thems dying. The auld neebur says this makes me a bigot.
He’s an old fool but it shows that ‘ra peepul’ are not taking this well.
Take care guys.
These peepul will get violent. ( then plead guilty and get off with it).
Their “history” has died, but they will drag their “history” with them to SFL Div 3.
Their record of trophy wins has gone but their record of shame will remain.
Their record of games played has gone but their record of violence will remain.
Their record of European qualification has gone, but their record of cheating remains.
The culture will continue because they subscribe to a self serving philosophy which allows them to shout that they are right, especially when they are wrong.
We know that their history will hang about, because we will make sure it does.
Their demise is all the sweeter when we remember their history of atrocious behaviour towards us and treatment of us and all our forbears.
In the act of celebrating this day we remember.
Here’s to all of those who endured.

Bitter?
Get Goram telt.
Celtic fans are never to be described as bitter.
That term is reserved for the bitter orange b……s whp once upon a time followfollowed the huns.
We,on the other hand,can best be described as AVID.
IMO One of two things will happen in coming weeks-
The newclub will not be formed in time for season 2012/13 and the new company will take a year out of football to sort out the legal issues, they will apply for entry to SPL for season 2013/14 and be accepted in with no penalties.
The newclub will be voted into SPL for season 2012/13 with penalties which will be relatively putative (ie 10 point deduction or something of that ilk).
Hail! Hail!

Thanks for posting that tribute to Teolilio Stevenson. I remember him well and the impact he had on viewers watching those Olympic games. If I remember correctly, his opponent in the final at Munich failed to turn up – Teofilio had previously dispatched all other opponents with just about his first punch and they were knocked out in the true sense of the term.
Putative = punitive. Apologies.
It’s bad enough having to listen to the same Goebbel’s type repetitive mantra’s like “Scottish football needs Rangers” or “Too big to fail” or “Rangers will keep their history” from the LL/MSM but when you hear this garbage from ex-Celtic players…well, its just cringe worthy.
There are so many Uncle Tim’s out there willing to be used by the media machine for a few silver pieces: Walker, Burley, McLeod, Hay, Provan etc all telling us “all true Celtic fans will want Rangers to survive.”
It will be hun spin and pro-Newclub propaganda cranked up to maximum fever pitch; to a hysterical level that even Goebbels himself would have been ashamed of.

That was a great post and I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Ali was greatest because he fought everyone. He missed out no one who was anyone, and fitted in those who he would refer to as the bum of the month!
He fought more times than the others and across more generations than the others.
Not only did he have great hand speed, footspeed and the ability to either get on his bike and dance or cut off the ring, but he had that magic ability to absorb a punch, take a hit, even a knockdown and get back up. In short beyond his boxing abilities he had the ability to win fights.
It should also be remembered that between the second Liston fight and his enforced exile for 4 years at his prime, he could not afford to allow there to be an excuse for any judge to award a decision against him. His popularity– or unpopularity– was such that having embraced Islam, many judges, boxing commissions, referees or whoever would have found cause to award fights to his opponents given the chance. He never gave them that chance until the first Frazier fight.
With no disrespect to Joe, he did not fight everyone. His progression was carefully managed by Eddie Futch and he avoided some guys altogether. For example, there was as much of a chance of you and me fighting Shavers together than Joe taking him on. Joe was a slow starter and Ernie banged harder than anyone else– and they all acknowledged that– and if Ernie banjoed Joe early doors then Joe’s long winning streak was at an end. That winning streak was carefully preserved too.
Further, Ali’s absence allowed the likes of Joe to come through the ranks and build up that head of steam. Had Ali been allowed to box throughout the late 60’s, would Joe’s handlers have put him in with him? Yes when he got to No1 contender status, but that could have been as early as ’68. Would Frazier have beaten a non retired Ali in 1968? It would certainly have been a very different Ali than the one who took to the ring in Madison Square Garden after a 4 year layoff.
It is also noticeable that Holmes chose his time to step out of the shadows very carefully. He was by no means a “young” fighter when he climbed to the peak.. Again he was carefully promoted. With his ramrod straight murderous jab, Holmes may well have been a match for anyone. But he was susceptible to the big hit. Both Shavers and Ronaldo Snipes had him out- both on the deck or on his feet- but for whatever reason the powers that be rescued Larry.
As can be seen with Joe and indeed with Tyson, once the air of invincibility is shattered, then many a boxer is never the same again because they know they can be beaten…. and their opponents know the same thing.
Ali was tremendously strong mentally. He could climb back up the hill both between fights and during fights. He took on real toughies and let them bang away till the time was right. Big George and Oscar Bonavena are but two examples. You mentioned George Chuvalo– jeez– there was a brick wall! Not the greatest by any manner of means but you could hit the man with a wrecking ball and he would still stand there and swing dangerously. Joe Frazier brutally fractured George Chuvalo’s orbit (the bone under the eye) so badly that Chuvalo needed reconstructive surgery to correct the injury as his eye partially dropped into the fault line fracture. A career ending injury for anyone sensible, but Chuvelo just resumed fighting and shouted “next!”
Ernie is proof enough that having a big dig was simply not enough in that era to scale the heights, to a certain extent Cooney’s career tells a similar story.
Ali had it all, both inside and out, upstairs iu the brain and downstairs in the Engine room.
Big George is an amazing man– a complete reinvention of the Big Bad George persona that got “Whupped” in Kinshasa, although he still does not rate Ali at the very top of his boxing list. He says that Ali was not the greatest fighter technically but perhaps was the greatest man.
It is an interesting observation, and although Big George is the big happy smiling bear with the multi million pound grill and a love of God, it must rankle that he is best remembered for a fight that he lost! To that extent George’s opinion must be coloured– even a little. However, taking it a face value, what he says is that being the Greatest inside the head and heart can make up for whatever technical failings you may have in the ring— but oh how many would only dream about being as technically lacking in such proficiency as Ali?
People should remember George for his utter destruction of the career that once was Joe Frazier’s, and if you like sheer frightening.. and I do mean Frightening… power and menace in a Boxer they should look at the consequences of the one and only round between George and Ken Norton in Caracas Venezuela. Hugh McIlvanney describes that round brilliantly and leaves you with the feeling that George is the unstoppable force with the menace of a million Listons!!! That is one of the fights that lead McIlvanney to question whether Boxing could really be a sport?
George was the beast from the lagoon… a boxer to terrify boxers and trainers alike. The big bag, trainers, sparring partners… the whole world….. moved when Big George Connected with a B O O M!
That was of course until he bumped into the biggest loudmouthed, impertinent, bragadoccio, charismatic big hearted and mentally alert fighter that ever put on a pair of gloves in Zaire. George has said that as he was lying on the canvass a question went through his head: ” How did I end up down here?”.
Maybe that one question from the guy who was considered the biggest and baddest on the planet at the time explains just why Ali was indeed …. The Greatest!
Is Chucky violating the law by threatening the Hun players with breach of contract when he 1) does not yet own RIL, and 2) RIL no longer hold the players’ contracts?
