I caught a bit of yesterday’s newspapers; the contrast between an article in The Herald, linked from the Quick News section, and one elsewhere was stark. It brought to mind a very politically incorrect cartoon depicting a conversation someone trying to explain the consequences of a football club getting into vast amounts of debt. “You don’t have the intellect to understand what is happening” was the active line.
This far into actual news [def: hard information about a subject] on how Rangers were being run by the board in charge prior to Craig Whyte’s takeover, some are still flogging “EBTs were legal”, “No one complained about EBTs at the time”, “Juninho had an EBT”, as though somehow any of this was in doubt or relevant to the question.
The only show in town, to use our favourite phrase from last season, is ‘Were players illegally registered?’ You can pay them in cash, by EBTs or by boatloads of bananas, you can pay them when they were playing, before they were playing or after, the timing makes no difference whatsoever, but did you record all contracts or did you hide dozens of contracts from oversight?
Anyone who, this late in the debate, is blabbering on about EBTs being noted in Rangers annual accounts either doesn’t have the grey stuff to grasp the point, or somehow believes they can knowledge manage their readership. “You don’t have the intellect to understand what is happening”, is perhaps the message they are sending out.

Did someone mention tomorrow?
Setting off from Leeds at about noon and intend to be having a pint in Whiteinch by 4pm.
Really looking forward to seeing the hoops compete at the top level in front of a full house. Magic memories are made of that kind of stuff.

for you ?
Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
Well you wouldn’t even know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I can’t understand
CHORUS:
Are you reelin’ in the years
Stowin’ away the time
Are you gatherin’ up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
You been tellin’ me you’re a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time I’ve known you
I still don’t know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didn’t turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can’t understand
CHORUS
I spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made to Hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things we’ve done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I can’t understand
CHORUS
Bears are genetically related to dogs. Now that Green has them eating out of his mitts it would appear they have morphed into poodles.
Oooops
Looks like Philvis’ Gentleman’s Gentleman is in trouble again for not refreshing the young master’s page…..
Latest Loony Post from RM:
The BBC, STV, Daily Rhebel, the Scum, the SuperScoreBoard, Radio Taig, and in particular the Hherald are all part of the one gigantic fenian machine of lies. You have McNaly’s, MacGiollabhains, Thomsons, Haggerty’s, Braiden’s, DUffy’s etc…all suspiciously Irish names- and the question that needs to be asked is: where does it end? The republican mafia have infiltrated every nook and cranny of our once great Scottish institutions. This used to be a country I was proud of but not now. We have become polluted by outsiders with funny names. I for one hate the dirty b******s!
What about all this hatred and bigotry towards us, the only truly innocent party in all this sick and bigoted campaign? They have hit us with bottles and poured vinegar into our open wounds as we lay in an Olympic sized swimming pool of blood. All this talk of zombies, that we are zombies- some of my best friends are zombies! Mutants have feelings too. One man’s meat is another man’s feet.
After my brain transplant op I have been seeing things much clearer: All this talk of paying taxes- some of the worlds most important and richest people avoid tax. Why are The Rangers any different? God is the only candidate for the role of lawmaker. Therefore Rangers are subject only to God. The Rangers are Gods team as Bill McMurdo says. He is in his heaven, which means that The Rangers can do whatever they like.
As JS MIll said: Actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness.
Therefore spending all that money during the Murray years made The Rangers fans happy so it must be good- ditching all the debt without any consequences also made the fans happy and so that too must be good. It really is that simple. Anyone who says anything different is either a bitter Tim or a bigot.
That Roy Greenslade is a lovely, intelligent and erudite journalist.
Would never get a job in Scotland.

Always loved STEELY DAN,and IMO the album from which that is the title track is one of the best ever debuts.
Whither the cash strapped scrofulous hillbillies the day?
Philvis must be off having his tuxedo altered for the imminent tory party conference.
In the spirit of Steely Dan:
” Showbiz kids makin’ movies of themselves
You know they don’t give a ****
‘Bout anybody else.”

And by the way,it’s now forty years old.
Reeling in the years indeedy…..

wonkyradar – Re: McMurdo
In my learned opinion he looks like a jakey and it seems he’s taken writing tips from the Harpic guzzling delusional dipsomaniac over at Leggo town.
Re: angry bears, unhappy huns, and irascible daleks.
It’s like the cockroach version of Kim Jong-Il from Team America issuing threats before flying off in his tiny spaceship.
It’s like a shoplifter haughtily threatening to take his light fingers elsewhere.
This howling at the moon stuff always goes down well with the Scotsmac Loyal, and might help keep McMurdo in demand for Sevco Supporters events and sportsman’s dinners down the ludge, but normal people, HMRC, and senior legal professionals like the chaps on the independent commission aren’t impressed with this nonsense.
Also, the more you hun the place up with your hunnish threats, the more the rest of Scottish football will rightly laugh at you and point out that you are huns.

‘That Roy Greenslade is a lovely, intelligent and erudite journalist.’
Did he not get ripped a new one over Hillsborough and The Sun?
If the rumored Benfica line up is accurate -then —
There is —– 1 Portuguese player / 2 Brazilians /4 Argentinians/ 1 Serb / 2 Paraguayans and 1 Spaniard.
Don’t think he was at the Sun then,Ernie.
Woke up this morning feeling pretty rough.
Had been up two or three times through the night as the two wee yins have really bad colds and coughing which kept waking each other up.
Added to that the wife also has the dreaded lurgy too so every time I rolled over I seem to get a face full of flem, not good.
Alarm went aff at 6am as usual for my morning run which I nearly slept thru. Managed to get out for a the four odd miles run which actually helped.
Made the breakfasts and got myself out the door in pretty good time I thought only to get stuck in a traffic jam for 20 minutes making me late for my first call of the day.
Then my system crashed right at the end of a 2 hour piece of work.
So I as you might understand I didin’t think I’d crack a smile today, but then my mates dad called to say he had a spare ticket for tomorrow night if I wanted it.
I tell you this, the thought of seeing the mighty hoops on a European night sure can brighten even the crappiest of days!
Hail Hail

Afternoon bhoys from a warm hun free mountain.
Antihistamines, don’t know if they are illegal or not.
They are in some sports for sure, so I would imagine football might not be too disimilar.
It reminds me of something Neil Mc Cann said on Sky a few weeks ago, when asked about EBT’s,
He said something like…..It’s not as if we were talking performance enhancing drugs….
Now why would he mention that, if it was not in his mind that they were talikng performance enhancing drugs. ????????
Me thinks he let something slip.

I’ve just had my wee lunchtime read of CQN (brightest spot in my working day)and I have to say I am astonished of forehead.
Firstly can someone please confirm the story about Rangers claiming money from Annan and the Sandaza story are actually true?
I say this because awe naw is a master at writing fake newspaper stories and it is becoming increasingly difficult to tell fact from fiction.
Please someone tell me what newspaper they are in.
Assuming it is true Sevco are clearly already doing a fab job in making friends in Div 3 and Sandaza clearly has faith in the referees to ante up and let Sevco win.
It must be made up though – have I just joined a parallel universe?
Then there is the stories emerging about the Sun and Phil’s book. It is becoming clearer by the day that intimidation is allowed to rule the roost in Scotland and our media, politicians etc are scared to upset Sevco’s fans. We are witnessing the collapse of any credible journalism in Scotland.
But actually I think you lot are making it all up – cos it cant be true.
Can it?

Haven’t looked through previous, but we should remember Roy Greenslade’s own role in peddling shit about people identified by the government as the enemy within. He published complete and utter bollocks about Arthur Scargill being a foreign agent or some such. Later, he apologised. Jeez, how much crap do we have to put up with from these people?’
ernie lynch
According to his Wiki entry Greenslade was assistant editor of ‘The S*n’ between 1981-86, when he left to join ‘The Sunday Times’ (!!) – 3 years before Hillsborough.
