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.

As a youth I watched the Souness ‘revolution’, lauded by all corners of the Scottish media.
It was a painful, tough time to be a Celtic fan.
For nine seasons I watched the likes of McStay – for me the Scottish if not British player of his generation – labour against a team heavily funded by someone soon to be confined to the history books as a tax evader (allegedly).
We now sit on the precipice of glory, and I ask myself – is this joy worth the torment of almost 20 years of lies, financial doping and press manipulation?
We as a society have three options:
1. Reward those that evade tax
2. Seek financial recompense in full – every last dime – paid over 15 years @ £10 million a year – that figure includes interest!
3. An end to an ‘institution’ that is clearly rotten to the core – remember the Inter away game (all Rangers fans banned) and all Rangers officialdom singing that they “were up to their knees in fenian blood” – 7 years ago
I don’t believe in Karma, but if I did, this would be my point of reference. Twenty years of hate = option 3 please.
If we’re complacent, the establishment and media (already afraid of their already dwindling sales) will win and box number 1 will be chosen.
Lest we forget. Lest we forget.
Paul67, Phil, & RTC – you must ramp up the pressure. Sensible, reasoned pressure based on cerebral cohesive opinion.
Alex Salmon has just jumped out of the water into the mouth of political suicide.

However, the team struggled badly in the SPL and the club were placed in administration after Mileson withdrew his support due to illness.[2] At the end of the season, all of the club’s staff were made redundant and the club were initially relegated to the Third Division due to their inability to guarantee fulfilment of their forthcoming fixtures.
DK, AW, and JD punting the ‘…we can’t do without THEM…’ my erse!!!!! DK has said that a number of newspapers reported on the ‘Four Old Firm Games’ clause in SKY contract, therefore it’s true! The implication is that SKY have decided that neither Celtic or Ranjurz can finish outwith the top six. THAT’S ILLEGAL!!!!!!!
Well Paul……waiting…..lol
So Dwaryl tells us that for newco to be let back into SPL ,it would not be up to the other SPL clubs but a 5 man panel .
Well that seems to put to bed any notion of Celtic voting them in .That would leave it in the hands of the 5 man panel .
If these guys vote them back in I fully expect my club to formally resign from the SPL with immediate effect .
In fact I hope we are actively seeking a new league to admit us .
hail hail
“rangers must continue for the fabric of our country.”
Any bams out there still going to vote SNP or even worse an independent Scotland.
Might as well shut the RC schools and burn the Chapels right now if you are…

Why is it that the majority of callers to SNYDE are Celtic fans????? Is it not ranjurz that are picking up pencils with their schucks?
Do all administrators look as shifty as that then?
What a fiasco. Half and hour late and then the first five minutes spent reading out a statement about how they are not in a conflict of interest!
If I were HMRC, I’d be furious. These guys haven’t got 2 thoughts for the creditors at all. And as for where the Ticketus money went… isn’t this known as the “switcheroo”?
Money goes to secret new company controlled by Whyte, as do Ibrox and Murray Park. Administrators plough on regardless, plunging club into liquidation.
Hey presto, out of the shadows emerges Whyte with his crap hairdo, cheap suit, ridiculous accent, and ready-made club.
Cue Salmond bullying the SPL to let them in – “blood of our bone” and ither sich Ul-STAR- Scots rubbish….
What a fix.
The most corrupt little country in the world, right enough.
Listen to Good Morning Scotland tomorrow at 8.10.
They have booked a head hun from Ardoyne no less.
It will be worth a wee chuckle.
Vanguard Burz gonna back Paul Murray?????
Seriously..what is is going to take?

Re: Tomorrow
IF Rangers Football Club 1872 come out of this debt free and with new owners willing to invest then Craig Whyte must be seen as the man who saved the Rangers by having the balls to drag them through turmoil when no1 else did!!!
I see Dwaryl is now trumpeting paul murray and the blue Knights campaign
Is this the latest piece of the dirty business jigsaw .
hail hail

I grew up in Ardoyne and i can categorically state it was and is a Hun free area. Is this muppet from the periphery those fine up standing British citizens that threw bombs at children trying to go to School. Away and raffle yourself Hun from Ardoyne FFS.

Exactly only this time he’s bringing 100 mil with him, phew bet the huns are relieved..
Oh ma heid Oh Mammy
What is this five man panel that was referred to on the radio?
I don’t understand why they have booked this Ardoyne fella, it is a given that he will be a muppet.
Paddy G – I was genuinely wondering. Was a crossword clue in my Daily Sport today……………..
too crude for CQN?

The old switcharoo is against the law. Jail time if that’s the plan.

Who is this Paul Murray dude?
If the game gets rigged and Newco get straight into spl to save sky deal. Celtic should withdraw instantly and embark on a harlem globetrotters style world tour. How would scottish football survive then??
Blue Knights sounds like the title of a gay porno DVD.

It was a tough one today. Didn’t get 3 down. 4 letters. Found at bottom of bird cage. i and t are the last two letters. Must have 1 across wrong because it makes the answer begin with G and I’m sure it begins with S……….
Paddy G – wasn’t directed at you! It was me that posted the joke! Probably on the edge of good taste but with all the tax stuff going on I couldn’t resist!
Now Ken Dodd…….
Our politicians don`t seem to believe in a clean hands policy. Disappointing, isn`t it?
Oh and Paddy – the Daily Sport crossword thing – honest I don’t do it. it’s too difficult.
Shifty & Swifty (independent of CW since last week) reminded me of a story:
1973, Miami decide to bring back the death penalty. The chosen method is ‘Old Sparky’ an electric chair which was designed and built by penetentiary inmantes in the 1930s. When they came to examine the chair no-one knew how it worked or if it was wired correctly. An electrician was employed to examine the chair, he concluded that the wiring was corroded, the contacts were rusted and a lot of the insulation had been eaten by rats. ‘In short’ said the electrician, ‘it’s a good job you ‘phoned me, this could have killed some c4nt!’
