If you’re going to stage a protest it’s better to make sure that it registers where it counts. Turning up at a Sports Direct till with a pile of tracksuits, then only offering £1 for their purchase, might echo the transaction Mike Ashley completed for the naming rights of Ibrox, but if the tycoon even gets to hear about the so-called flashmob protest he’s likely to pity the forsaken attempt to undermine him.
Ashley has invested around a couple of million in Newco Rangers but it’s pin money for him, which he can easily afford to gamble with. He is also not afflicted with any emotional attachment to Newco, or pretty much anything else, it seems. In short, this is a guy ‘Rangers’ fans can’t lay a glove on. They would be far better to figure this out and start to deal with the reality than provoke an unwelcome response.
Neither Ashley nor the Easdale brothers strike me as people who will be easily cowed or bullied into forgoing the rights they have purchased, while others, including thousands of fans, kept their hands in their pockets. The many genuine fans who are distraught at the humiliating mess Newco has become have been led up the garden path by would-be sages.
Africa
The world is paying a little more attention than usual to the many problems in Africa at the moment but I heard one authoritative voice last week suggest that ebloa is only around the third or fourth most severe problem the continent faces.
But, things are getting better in large swathes of the continent, thanks to improving governance in some areas, better infrastructure, more widely available healthcare, and more children, especially girls, given access to education.
20 people from Celtic Foundation are in Malawi building classrooms and toilets at the moment, while CQN’ers built three school kitchens there this year (more on the soon), but sometimes these many parallel developments conflict.
One such occasion is the John Bande Foundation School in Blantyre, Malawi, which through Mary’s Meals is supported by the Noreen Davies Hikers & Bikers, a group of people from Lanarkshire and Glasgow. The Hikers and Bikers support a feeding programme at the school, which makes it possible for kids to attempt the school, instead of working for food. It’s a mature project but the recent building of a motorway right on the edge of the school property has made the building dangerous; learning and feeding is no longer possible.
The Noreen Davies people are raising money to erect three new buildings. You can read more of the story here, with pictures of the school and road. If you can give them a £1 or two, do so here.

Hoopdoggy – there is much to be,said for staying where you’re known. Take it from one who has become a perpetual outsider no matter where I am.

I`ve been in Oz. for 30 odd years.
I gained a lot and I missed a lot.
I still miss Glasgow and my pals.
Today`s communications make things easier,C.Q.N. being a prime example.
The grass ain`t always greener than Paradise.

About 20 yrs ago i asked a millionaire what keeps a multi millionaire going
He reckoned it was the satisfaction of a deal done well
All you guys that want rid of DD think of the alternative
Ashley, Green and hedge funds
DD will give his shares to his kids
What Fergus gave us was a sustainable business that would live forever
I could cry how much i love our club and how much my dad and papas did
Please ghuys support Ronnie

Lafferty ain’t the worst,not by a long shot.
Hi macjay 1 and hoopdoggydog.
Where are you in Oz?
I’m not long here just got our visa last year and loving it.
Just heading out to our new celtic club down the Mornington
peninsula, will always miss Glasgow, mates, and going to
games but it’s a big difference going down the beach to
sleep it off than preparing for ambushes from the badyins
coming out of Bairds bar.

Don’t panic re RD

You heard here first:-)
Macanbheatha,
I wish Ronny all the best.
I really do.
This nonsense about giving him a year or so to get it together.
Seriously.The board are another story.
But,we have the players on our books to demolish pub teams in this league.
That’s what they are and it’s time the manager was choosing the appropriate team,tactics and formations to sweep these teams aside.Surely?

Goodnight to all Tims worldwide.

This time last year we were saying we don’t need the Hun in order to make a good league
People on here were wishing DU & Aberdeen would make it a bit more tight for us in order to see more competitive games then when we get a few everyone cachs them
Remember we were 15pts behind a hun team in Nov and how did that work out?

I hear you mate and i take my 6 year old son to paradise every game and it brks my heart when he doesn’t feekg ood aftet watching the hoops.
We have to play sb sj and cm in midfield
Then guidetti ss and griffiths and forrest up front
While i’m on
Dave king on last 3 trips to glasgow via heathrow flew economy— like davy murray he’s pratted
Chuck green rented a house in normandy for 1 week and got photos taken cos he is shit feart
He lives in spain
Everyone always says—follow the money where did ticketus get the actual 28m? That’s the story
And finally craigy boy has davy murray on tape telling him how to do the deal via ticketus
Very finally Celtic will put on the programme v sevco celtic v rangers but inside wil put there honours as 2012 onwards
God bless Johnny Doyle
