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.

that’s the leisure centre that BMCUWP attends regularly.
!!bada bing!!

I WAS THINKING THAT YESTERDAY……..AND ALSO BRIAN QUINN AND PETER / NEIL…
The Rangers FC. The only club with an average home gate that is bigger than the capacity of its ground..
!!Bada Bing!!
the (snooker) question is :
Is the Whyte gonnae put Green behind the black ball??
Well done to Peter Smith on STV yesterday,Challs looked genuinely shocked when he was questioned.He’s used to Jim White and the like.
pedrocaravanachio67-Challs might call it the “darkie” ball :}

Thanks for posting that,
Pure genius I say, absolutely brilliant, would be EVEN better if sang by Billy Connolly
one thing thats a bit weird in all of this neither craig whyte or charlie boy are saying anything about david murray in all of this circus, entertaining as it is its distracting attention away from the real culprit in all of this as well as the other’s that were with murray
is that not right campbell?
DBBIA
They’d be in a curry in seconds back in Kilwinning……
I think Walter Myth took the gig with Challs,to be in the tent etc,he is the Blue Knight/Hawks/Rats man on the inside,with a little leak here and there from Jabba to Keith Jackhun etc.The way things have turned in the last few days ,Jack Irvine probably has taken a hand too.
Chuckles had his stint on TalkSport today yet or is he in hiding?

Careful,or I’ll post the photie you sent earlier,in flagrante in full KB mode…..
Can’t help but think guys that some of you credit the likes of Smyth with a lot more than he merits. You are almost writing their folk lore scripts for them – how they all looked like villains but were really undercover heroes. Guff!!!
These peepul are greedy conniving barstewards. There is no master plan, just a load of greed, threats and hubris as they stumble from one situation to the next.
For sure, something will get salvaged in the end – but the end might a fair while in coming and this years unholy mess of “who owns what?” – and “who do you sue?” is going to make last summers carry on look like a minor blip…in my opinion.
BMCUWP
I sincerely apologies for my leisure centre comment, I hope you can accept this…I don’t know what I was thinking about………jeez, that wis close :-)
What intrigues me is why Challs volunteered the info on how he refers to his Pakistani friend and his old football chum. How did that conversation come about?
Does he believe that Craig has recordings of him using such terms and therefore wanted to preempt any attempt to smear him?
Barcabhoy,
Another great analysis.
You are one of the guys who makes visiting this site so educational & so worthwhile..
Thank You.

No problem, that is the very same MSP that
I received my reply from, I have also had a reply
from the Green MP Patrick Harvey.
HH
is it a coincidence that the big walter of myth joined up and not that long after the even bigger jabba of truth also joined and lo and behold charlie is looking like the spiv that he is
with his very young manager confronting him? meanwhile i remember sir murray one time going to murray park for a medical [alas not to play for ally] and he just happened to
see ally while there and then if i am correct was sir murray not spotted one time at a cafe
[lamb ofcourse] with big walter myth and jabba of truth [recieving their orders] now this could just be a coincidence but to a paranoid like me its great.

The #SFA have written to #Rangers CEO Charles Green asking him for clarity about his dealing with Craig Whyte re takeover #BBCSport
Off topic request chaps:
Looking for a lap top or note book primarily for writing/ powerpoints/ traditional work related stuff with a bit of browsing ability too.
So any recommendations?
I saw a thing called a Samson Chromebook. Can you get word etc with that or something compatible? Are they good?
Thanks for your time……
thinking of a new moniker: the reluctant timmy technofile…….
(I remember my first communion well because it was a lovely sunny day and I wore a kilt.)
However I am in complete confusion over the goings-on regarding newco/oldco……they can coco for all I care. It’s all mental and has nothing to do with football except disgracing it.
CG is an awful human being and is a disgrace. The sevcovians deserve him.
His semi-drunken performance on stv last night must surely have given the game away to even the densest of the iPoxians.
The death of t’rankers is a lingering one…..the poor beast needs the needle applied for mercy’s sake.
Then the follyfollyers can bog off to Murderwell to terrorise new victims in their desperation to keep their ancient bigotries alive…….unlike their club.
HH!

=============================================
It is odd in the extreme in this day and age that someone would volunteer that information. It doesn’t smell right at all.
There may be something in what you say.
Songs you won’t hear the nicht at the Govan Red-Neck Rally………….
” Oh Sevco’s Green and Whyte…..”
*Repeat ad nauseum*

Would Walter not be banned from being part of any other business if this one goes into Admin?
Very suspicious that it has taken to Wednesday to charge chuckles is this the SFA doing their bit to pressure him to leave. The attack dogs have definetly been released.
