I’ve heard some utter tosh from politicians over the years but never anything so blatantly untrue as the comments from our First Minister, Alex Salmond, reported today. This clown is telling people Rangers need to be saved for the sake of Celtic. He said:
“The most diehard Celtic supporter understands that Celtic can’t prosper unless Rangers are there. The rest of the clubs understand that as well. Therefore you have to have cognisance of these things when you’re pursuing public policy.
Keep our name out of it you incoherent fool.
If our prosperity depends on the survival of Rangers it’s time our values and priorities changed. You of all people should know this after your lecturing last year. Celtic have not been well served by their association with Rangers, nor vice versa. As a combined entity, the ‘Old Firm’ have not been good for Scotland.
I’m keen to hear what his “public policy” on the matter is. Salmond goes on to say:
“We’ve certainly been arguing to HMRC on one hand, and indeed to Rangers, to for goodness sake get a settlement, get a settlement and a structure over time whereby Rangers can continue because Rangers must continue for the future of Scottish football and for the fabric of the country.”
How dare you argue with HMRC? Even Rangers admit the potential underpayment could be £75m. How many nurses, teachers and policemen would that employ, Mr Salmond? This is the true cost of his position.
This sorry business has nothing to do with Celtic, I hope our club make this clear to provocative politicians. All you die-hard Celtic supporters out there better let this man know he has no right to speak for you.
“Fabric of the country”. He got that bit right, alas.

I agree, rather verbose. I summarised it to my brother as “Shut yer fat mouth”. I see not difference in interpretation.
Independance supporting politician in a country struggling for piublic funds supports tax avoiders to pander to the unionist vote?
You cant make this stuff up.
Theres some mad mad people out there.
King spouting on about no Sky Deal…If Newco are voted back in my Sky subscription will be cancelled!!
Who’s with me?
IMO the scenario we are witnessing has been planned a long time ago .
The question is who has the balls or inclination to get these crooks to pay up
After hearing Cameron today,I suspect no one has .
Looks to me like a job well done .
I always suspected this but not so publicly done .
We need to find somewhere else to go
hail hail
hen1rick. Fella as far as I am concerned you have done me a favour.You reminded me how badly they aqre hurting and the danger they pose to us Celtic supporters.H.H.
Mon the HMRC… Think sick kids, hospitals , hospices, schools…
TAX…,
Get the money!!! All of it..
Oh a FF’er on now…
HENR1K
FF gets c&p on here frequently,in fact requests for it are commonplace.
I thought the bilge they were coming out with was a timely reminder to us all to be vigilant.
After all,the weekend is upon us,and I for one am known to be a tad lippy!
Especially in their company-so thanks for the heads-up,mate.
I think it’s called Wavetower because it will vanish like the star trek guys being beemed up, Craig Whyte all shimmery and moving from side to side, then poof! Gone. His eyes have the mark of a man who has been beemed up once too often.
Cracker on now
Listening tae clyde, why i dont know…
Can anyone understand what that fool jamie is saying….
Illiterate hun on Snyde!!!!!

I’m just happy to note that no public money will be used to aid them. The rest is just bluster and I should really write back and explain how them going to the wall could actually be good for Scottish football and society as a whole, (maybe I should send her some of the above extracts from FF)however I just couldn’t be bothered reading her uninformed, Daily Record/Sun response.

Can I just check … do we know the precise location of Criag White?
Last I saw he was off to Monaco.
What are the destinations of all flights from Monaco.
Surely, surely not.
Darryl annoyed at NL.
Forgive my ignorance, as I’m not resident in Scotland have to admit I don’t know a lot about this Craig Whyte guy. I thought this guy was a billionaire who took control of Rangers and was to sort out all the financial problems at the club. Sorta like those wealthy oil sheiks the benefactors of so many EPL clubs down south. What went wrong ?
Awe Andy we feel your pain….must hurt son, knowing that you picked the wrong horse again and again and again..
AMADEUS
Hardly a Tim without it on their “favourites” bar!
Always worth a watch,though.

That can’t be a wuman goldfish-it can reverse!
Bobby, I just can’t gte enough of that one. I was there when Johnny Doyle ran past us, proud and unbowed!
thanks for the welcome. incidentally, i agree with the post from the hearts fan about songs and banners, all legal of course. can i ask are you allowed to give the name of other websites on the forum? and no its not dodgy, its a alternative site, about common law, brilliant if you need help.
Have I strayed onto the wrong blog? What’s all this crap?

Paul 67, All
Do we believe that the Celtic board should respond to Alex Salmond. A simple reiteration of PL’s ‘we don’t need Rangers’ in rebuttal of the SNP leader’s recent nonsense should suffice.
—————————
Enough said. Well done PLC – Salmond = Eejit
Lads honestly I shouldn’t have posted the comments from that scum site, article yes comments no.
Never again just looked at comments and these people are scumbags.
What is the difference between a special case being made for Rangers for their financial plight than in a situation where they faced relegation?
Absolutely none. Any special case made for them and debt waived would destroy forever the sporting integrity of Scottish football. The financial delinquency won them football honours, that’s a fact. The consequences of that should be imposed to the full, and naturally the sporting balance will be restored. Anything less is death to Scottish football.
The natural outcome should be repayment of the debts in full over a period no longer than the period accrued (£7m a year, index linked, for 10 years) or liquidation and expulsion from the league. Let anyone or newco apply for membership on the same terms as Elgin etc.
It is that simple.
yum yum, a beelin’ hun now!
“There are jobs involved”
How many jobs? 100? 200?
£75m would pay 6250 youngsters £12k per annum.
can a mod please remove the vile ff filth posts thanks
Fit and proper Darren Mate, ask yer Pal’s at the SFA..

John,God rest him,was Jock Stein’s most expensive signing.
At a whopping £90,000!
I can still remember him scoring the header v Real at the huns end,kicking a hun in the 4-2 game as the ref stood alongside,taking aim at the ref against Ayr,haha.
Many good memories of the wee man. A tragic loss.
I guarantee they are going to sing the BB on Saturday.
How ugly.
Henrik
don’t be fretting any more mate. Your apology should be enough. I’m sure Paul will remove them for you.
and now, a whining hun!
life is good!
it’s pure unfair so it is
