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.

From an excellent source (to paraphrase) from the Royal Mile:
Bunch of workers (Hibee fans) working near High Court spot Donald QC (of the sideburns and pipe) heading to/ from the High Court.
“Hey Donald what’s the latest news on the rankers?”
Donald – removes pipe and answers: “they’re f@@ked!” and continues walking.
“Hey Donald that’s what happens when guys like you made fortunes out of it, private jets and all the rest!”
He about turns and marches back to them, takes the pipe out his mouth and points it at them shouting: “It’s nothing to do with me, I didn’t take anything and you can print that!”
And with that – he marched away.

Jobs?
It seems we need companies and individuals to pay taxes to subsidise TESCO wage costs.

Just Can’t Get Enough…
Paul, probably your finest yet, and that my friend is really something. And before I forget, thanks for all your sterling efforts, it really is appreciated.
Salmond is sadly a typical politician, a bloody wind-bag and is so up his own backside I think the man must be seriously contipated. My advice, pay no attention to him and all us CELTIC fans get a petition going to be presented to him, not forgetting his most important thing, his voting public. Does he seriously think that all us CELTIC minded people will give him our vote? Don’t think so mister!!
What would help in the petition would be for our club to take the lead on this. I hate to use it but we need the hun like a hole in the head, or as my good lady wife, QUEENLuBO would say, we need hun like a fish needs a bike!!
On a lighter note and apologies if it;s been said before but , What has four legs and is wealthier than Rangers– Harry Rednapps dug
Hail Hail and Hail again

Where is that money, Mister Whyte?
Wee King knows something and is itching to spill the beans …. something along the lines that Whyte’s takeover was illegal and as such, is no longer the legal owner of RFC …. how that helps them, i’m completely unsure ?

Brilliant Joe…
These are the days we thought we would never live to see..
No wonder those animals rely on sugar daddies,there’s not a brain between the rancid cabbages,I like to read their rubbish when their hurting not when they think they are making rallying calls.

Sho, Goldfinger, you expect me to talk?
No, hun, I expect you to die!
Sent the letter below to The Herald and The Times. Let’s see if it gets published. Didn’t put my full name and address for publication! No petrol bombs thanks. Struggled not to say “Act of Ghod”!
Dear Editor,
So the race to rehabilitate Rangers has begun, before the ink has even dried on their many bounced cheques. It even provoked an outbreak of agreement between these renowned experts on Scottish football, Messrs Cameron and Salmond. While I feel a certain sympathy for any football fan facing the prospect of losing their beloved club there are certain key facts in this case that are being neglected or ignored with unseemly haste. Rangers’ predicament is not due to some unforeseeable natural disaster or act of God. And the only conspiracy that seems to exist is that of non-payment of tax by the club’s owners. The on-field consequence of this policy has been a string of stolen honours stretching back over a generation. The off-field consequences are arguably still more dishonourable as small clubs that have struggled to survive over the last decade are deprived of precious income last seen somewhere between Govan and Monaco. Officials working for the Scottish Government are expected to uphold four core values in the approach to public life – integrity honesty objectivity and impartiality. It will be interesting to see if such high standards are adopted by the Scottish Government and football’s governing bodies in their handling of this issue. A poor start, but perhaps it will prove to be the proverbial ‘game of two halves’.

Only going by what I was told mate. However, did the mbb know this?!
Ranjurs going into admin really is good for Scottish football. 50000+ due at Ibrox on Saturday. They must be pleased at that, no?
However, should they lose the game….tumbleweeds next time!
and now, a pretend-realist hun

I’m getting a bad rep from somewhere :O)
Oh the rankers are GONE
Rankers have crumbled and the show’s just begun
But even Fergie and DJ are still backing the HUN
They stole their trophies and duped our old queen,
If they had only played fair what would it mean?
All trophies and medals should be returned no doubt,
As cheaters in the game should definately be kicked out
Their building will be sold, their silverware returned,
But will we see huns scarves at ipox being burned?
They believe in their history and it goes to show,
They have faith in the RANKERS but alas they’re a NO GO!
So cheer up fat ally yur a sad wee hun shite
Your fans and the team are in an awful plight!!
hail hail
Hamiltontim. Fair enough. Maybe he didn’t and to be fair things are a little to in the air there as a 550 house Milne/Cala development which would have been the last for the area is currently in hold. Maybe he thought there was some way if getting into that.
