Have you ever seen a ‘Rangers’ director pushed by a journalist on a question he dodged before yesterday? It’s never happened. STV’s Peter Smith did something no journalist in the history of Scottish football has done before, pressed a question when the man in charge at Ibrox dodged the initial inquiry. Smith dismissed the deserved praise that came his way last night by suggesting it’s what a journalist does. True, but refreshing nonetheless.
I was reminded last night that Green’s examination by the old media has come earlier in his journey to the bottom that Craig Whyte’s did last season. Whyte was being backed by some, let’s call them enablers, right up until the week before Rangers went into administration. Unfortunately for Green some in the media, and perhaps a few in the support, were embarrassed by their backing of Whyte last year and will not repeat the mistake.
Apart from the aforementioned Green, I have only ever known one person to use the word “darkie” (I missed 1970s ‘comedians’). He was born in the first years of the 20th century, too young for the first war and too old to be conscripted for the second. Well into his 90s, I heard him say “there are a lot of darkies on TV these days”. He was reprimanded and immediately realised what he had done. An apology and a period of over-compensation followed.
It falls to SFA president Campbell Ogilvie to ensure that such language has no place in Scottish football. Disciplinary proceedings should be issued, unless, of course, the SFA view the matter in a different light. Any future appearance of a Charles Green image on a banner or effigy at Celtic Park, or use of the words ‘Our New Hero’ to describe him, should not be regarded as an endorsement of his views, only his work in football.
Celtic minstrels will write songs about him, I have heard the words “man-love” being used this week.
Will Newco stay active long enough for Craig Whyte’s security over Ibrox, crystallised by yesterday’s ruling that he owes Ticketus circa £17m and therefore had a piece of the action at Rangers after all, to have an effect? There are so many icebergs around Newco probably not.
It was interesting to hear Manchester United’s endorsement of Newco as a potential English Premier League club being debated on STV. Now out of Europe, Manchester United were asked if they would play a fundraiser at Ibrox later this month. I hope Green’s comments on the interview don’t spoil relations.
I was pleased to hear we were drawn at home for the next game but for pity’s sake, sending Motherwell to Tannadice the day before defeats the point. This is a complete failure.
Add this to the fact that Fraser Forster’s biggest fan is making his First Holy Communion when we are at home to St Johnstone on 11 May and you get a taste of the frustration in our house last night.
He realises the importance of his First Communion but thought we could cancel the party afterwards and have an alternative celebration at Celtic Park. We’ll distract him on the day…..
As many of you are already aware, the Celtic Trust have arranged a process whereby, if you live in Scotland, you can easily contact your MSP to back the FAC call for an inquiry into policing at the Gallowgate last month. You can find the information and template here, go do it.

Sevco Legends -v- Man utd legends. How does that work? How can a club with a 10 month history have legends? Will Sandaza be playing up front for Les Blues?

I don’t know if minty will be involved, but a cleansing is the aim.
Park and a few others have cash, and would have a line of credit, agreed it would take time, but they have no other choice, it’s either a clean debt free hun, or nothing, and all the effort they have gone to so far, they won’t stop now, just my opinion mind.
=================================
Like yourself I am offering opinion based on my interpretation of facts. I think, in line with weemingers idea, their hopes of a cleansing and return to the ‘top’ went when the clubs didn’t play ball last summer. Scottish football fans did for them.
I hope I’m right!!!
Balhambhoy,
Will Cammie Bell immediately TUPE over to BDO ?

They are hounding anyone who is questioning Chuck.
They have 2 choices, and one is death, what do you think they will choose ?
“What shoite through yonder transfer window breaks“
I remember Gillmour stating quite unequivical, just after sevco were refused fast tracking into the SPL saying last May or so, and I paraphrase, “Five SPL clubs will be in administration within weeks”.
Hope the decent people at St. Mirren can come to the fore.
Better get to bed. Cream crackered.
Major supermarkets are limiting sales of jelly and ice cream to one per customer as they anticipate a surge in demand over the next few days.
The rangers festival …
Doubt they would get it organised quick enough for this year but….
As an annual event….. cup final weekend would be a suitable date as that will be a regular free weekend for them
The 12th july would suit the country better though… imagine a weekend without them
250k zombies in a field…. in tents and camper vans…

The St Mirren fans know their club is too big for that type of takeover, they have some power there, I hope, the Klan would never accept being associated with a club with a Saint in the name.

I pray to god you are right.
Either way, they are in serious bother, and that sure makes me happy.

Said to you previously – collectively they will spend more time in court (than Andy Murray) during 2013/14.
Unless the decks are cleared of all litigation and someone slaps down £50M (start-up funds) – it will take 10 years at least for the ‘tribute act’ to get close enough to tug at our coat-tails!
…………. and who knows – we may be long gone to pastures new by then.
When will Sally do his walking away?

Classic!
I wonder what game Jim Ballantyne was at tonight?
Bell would be a fine addition to the BDO 5-a-side team.
i think rangers are in real trouble
last summer proved there no billionaires out there to save them
moreover the fans talked about buying the club but were too mean to invest in the club they profess to love not like celtic fans during fergus tenure
the outlook is bleak for ze huns
yippeeee
more jelly and icecream

Unfortunately for them, those particular bluebells are green rather than blue.
I don’t think the Willy Malloy Experience repertoire would be popular there.:)

I definitely think there’s a group waiting to move in once green walks.
Were be it after administration again, they will appear as the new saviours.
No debt and no shame
as whyte and green will get the blame.
The msm will whitewash all that has gone on as they have airbrushed Murray from any blame.
Hopefully I’m 100% wrong but due to seeing the lower echelons of the cabal at work…nothing surprises me anymore what the hierarchy can pull.
If you could write a scrip and name your own players within, could you make it any better?
Appreciate, Agent Gold or Orange has not been called up yet!

I reckon 10 years is a tad ott.
Nothing seems to be any way forward re changes at the sfa, they still have the hearts of the referees, that will count for rapid promotion, and a winning hun team is what they want.
They like us have a hardcore of support, and they will stand by them, the very fact they are where they are will see to that imo.
Now, as you say, if we are dining at another table, it matters not a jot, that mi hermano is what I am praying for.

Spot on with your analysis.
I believe that away from all the froth over the last week, Green is attempting to implement swingeing cuts , remove Ally’s mates from around the club, and plan for far cheaper replacement(s). The brothers in Ibrox are squealing loud and leaking to the press big time, they want to save their jobs, Ally wants £10M , good grief on the football front they have learned nothing..
All the confusion on who owns what , and who said what to who and when , just adds to the melting pot of that will keep any sane person rescuing them.
The demand from the Bears of having a good team on the park and keeping the Big House will strangle any progress , as fans and mgt will not confront their problems in an open and honest way …..
Short term, Ally or Charles , Ally will probably win on the basis of the media campaign mounting against Charles and bizarrely the cost cutting programme will then stall hastening their next financial disaster …….
….. the Ibrox Board of Directors appear to be enacting government economic policy , watch bad events unfold, do diddly squat and hope that something good turns up.
