Q. So you were a Rangers season ticket holder, when did you stop?
A. A few years ago. I work weekends and was seldom getting to games.
Q. How do you feel about how Rangers were treated in 2012?
A. How do any of us feel? It wasn’t our fault, one guy came in and did all the damage, then sinister forces took advantage. Every last one of us feel the same way.
Q. How do you feel about the League Cup semi-final, are you looking forward to it?
A. Not really, but we need to do whatever it takes to make sure we don’t get embarrassed. Years of being subjected to the effects of what Charles Green called “bigotry” means we need to fight with everything we’ve got. We can’t let Celtic embarrass us, need to stand up to them.
Q. Thanks, Robert. One more question, are you available to referee that game?
A. You know me, aye ready!
The forthcoming League Cup semi-final will be one of the most difficult games to referee and police in the history of Scottish football. The police will have their most experience Match Commander on duty. The SFA will not have their most experienced referee on duty, instead they have given the game to former Rangers season ticket holder, Bobby Madden.
The authorities must be independent and be seen to be independent. Former season ticket holders are acceptable and welcome as referees, but when you face extraordinary circumstances, take extraordinary care in selecting your referee. I don’t know a single ‘Rangers’ fan who doesn’t have animated views on what happened in recent years. They want to beat us next month more than at any time in original-Rangers 140-year history. Why is one of them the referee?
Craig Thomson is widely regarded as unaligned and Scotland’s top official. There must be a story explaining why he wasn’t given the game.
Our team selection for the League Cup semi-final doesn’t bother me. We can have Scepovic, Guidetti, Stokes or Griffiths up front, Efe and Charlie at the back, I’d still back us to win. Can’t say I’m too worried about the other lot either, even if they manage to hold onto all their, ‘stars’.
What does concern me is how the game is refereed. Before it, CQN will write about how important it will be to keep 11 men on the field, not to dive into tackles inside our penalty area, and not to get drawn into a levelling battle.
You can write the script about how this one is going to play out, we’ll be kicked, elbowed and incited, with liberal dramatic tumbles taken in and around our box. In a decade writing CQN I’ve only discussed referees around a dozen times but the selection for this one is alarming. Mr Madden will be scrutinised more than at any time in his professional life. He has an enormous challenge ahead.

Re Sarver. From The Phoenix Sun to The Phoenixed Huns?
From a basketball club to a basket case club
If your religion is worth killing for………..start with yourself.
Interesting post on Phil’s blog
“Are there stock market rules which would govern Mr King’s behaviour.
Earlier in the season he actively encouraged supporters to not buy season tickets. In doing so, it could be argued, very persuasively, that he helped cause the clumpany severe hardship which, in turn, has had a significant effect on the share price. This has meant that he has been able to purchase shares for significantly less than he might have paid last year.
Surely this breaks some kind of City rules?”
Flights booked for Inter game. Costing, I swear, £67.67 ! I’ve a good feeling about this trip :)

Aye, if you don’t believe what they want you to believe, you are labeled as a con theorist.
The list is endless, things that are bare faced lies, yet if you question them……….
Paris has history when it comes to letting cars disappear, the wee white Fiat that was supposedly responsible for Diana’s death springs to mind.

The killers are supposedly from El Quieda Yemen. Apparently the French support and arm the tyranical Yemeni government who are suppressing their people. Frence army have been on the verge of going into Yemen . I’m only just hearing this but I get the feeling something is a bit fishy here. Also the mass hysteria campaign seems to be almost as if it could have been pre-planned. Its a murky world out there where everything needs to be questioned. It maybe it is a straight forward islamic terrorist attack or it might be something else.
@TracingAgent: Hearing McCoist and a few others have been approached regarding deferring Jan wages.

I agree, but not to question things is what they want.
Some people still believe that man landed on the moon, and that the 9/11 thing was done by who they said done it.
It’s all about the money and the control.

Dear me…

Pathetic.

Aye, and being pathetic has got me through life.

For years I have been answering questions about the moon landings ( mostly from the photography side as that’s my job) I be given up trying to persuade those people who don’t believe it happened, but I now just ask one question.
Why would the Russian, Chinese and Japanese Space agencies fake images to say the US landed on the moon rather than call them frauds?
Good grief.
Insensitive nutjobbery on the blog.
Nutjobbery!!
What a brilliant word.
Sounds like the act of stealing someones poop after they’ve consumed a bag of cashews. :)
Zombie statement, looking at Sarwer offer and further statement will be issued shortly.
They love a statement!
Yorkbhoy – Why would the Russian, Chinese and Japanese Space agencies fake images to say the US landed on the moon rather than call them frauds?
Duh! Because they all answer to the Space Lizards who conspired to assassinate Princess Di, sell Rangers for a pound, and push up the price of a 10p Chomp bar.
WAKE UP SHEEPLE! (thumbsup)
gary67 – why haven’t Celtic issued a counter-statement yet? >:-(
We should have a standard prepared statement just saying “Aye, very good!” (thumbsup)

Maybe not a good time to mention a controversial satire magazine but has anyone saw the latest Private Eye publication out yesterday and the “” In the City”” article on page 33 headlined “”Whyte noise””… Lots of history about our hero and his parent Worthington Group but one particular stood out to me relative to one of the Worthington companies namely Law Financial and I quote verbatim “” Law Financial maintains that it holds investments worth £10m, which would seem to be a legal claim to the Rangers “newco” assets – the value of which may be problematic, given the clubs desperate need for cash””…
Private Eye magazine is £1.80 every fortnight, worth every penny..!
Moon landing.
I watched it in a place called the Cavendish Laboratory . Lots of physics students , physics post grads and internationally renowned / respected physicists . All gullible fools , including me .( I was only 19 )
The best part of the scam was managing to produce a film on earth that obeys the laws of physics on the moon . .Imagine what Hollywood could have done with that technology.
Once ate a full packet of salt and vinegar dry roasted……
It ended up with “nutjobbery” :-)
And the purpose of the ” fake moon landings” was what?

I’m always impressed the amount of people who don’t know their aperture from there elbow telling me about how the photos are obviously faked.

Have I just been scammed? Just bought two tickets for the Inter Milan game from Celtic, I think. Problem was, the online ticket office was awful and couldn’t find two tickets together. After that I tried phoning the official ticket hotline but after 3 minutes of ads they told me I was number 65 in the queue. After a while, i found another number instead of the official 10p a minute Celtic one to call. The number was 0141 551 4210 which did seem to be for Celtic tickets. The women found me two tickets almost together in the lower tier and took my card details. She seemed to have me on the Celtic system as she knew my home address and number. I haven’t yet received a confirmation email though. What do you think? Was I scammed?
Just as well I never mentioned tosspottery.
what is the stars – And the purpose of the ” fake moon landings” was what?
The Rothschild-Bilderberg-Space-Lizards wanted to distract people from the REAL footage of the secret Nazi moon landings.
So they disguised it as a children’s TV show called “The Clangers”. (thumbsup)

Was his name Goodluck Robert Sarver ?

But does he own a basketball team?
And would he like a sh1te football team?
His for a mere £18m. Or mibbee £20m. The only company ever to have gained value in inverse proportion to its likelihood of survival.
Floating pitch is a piece of cake under such inverse dynamics!
