I’m told by a broadcast journalist friend that Jim Traynor, of PR company Level5, started Newco Rangers broadcast media conference yesterday with a warning to journalists that discussion about title stripping was off limits.
The law was that if manager Mark Warburton was asked about the proposed sanction for Oldco Rangers financial doping the conference would be stopped.
Say what you like about journalists, but they regard being told what to ask, or not to ask, as a line in the sand issue. Traynor, a journalist for decades, should have known better than to make such a rookie mistake.
He was told that attempts to subvert discussion about Oldco being stripped of titles is not something that would be accommodated. By the broadcast media, anyway.
Warburton was subsequently asked about title stripping and although he was happy to answer, I’m told, this angered the would-be news-denier, whereupon he “lost his temper”.
Post-conference there was a bit of chat about how they would be able to appropriately report on less-partisan issues, like the Level5 PR-controlled Ladbrokes SPFL, although there was a consensus that “He’ll fall out with everyone soon enough. He always does”.

Earl Haig and his fund can go and fling excrement at the moon…..
I don’t know too much but him and his fund but it will live long in my memory as a youngster, what I know is enough for my opinion, as a very young bhoy am writing begging letters for a cheque from some Earl…. I just wish my Da was still here as I would write a strongly worded letter to said Earl and tell him to “go,away and fling shoite at the moon”

They won’t pay out if the hun goes bust, can’t recall offhand without googling it what the rule is, I contacted 365 last week about it, they told me no payout if a team doesn’t fulfill their fixtures, bets are void and you will get your stake back.

Simply put, two guys in the box, twice as likely to score ? Yes or No ?
How often do you watch Celtic cross into the box with only Griffiths in there, often, never….
———-
But we have 5 in the box and cant score so why would reducing that to 2 in the box mean we score more?

Sounds magic in the cave. :)

Maybe you father in law was lucky to get his demob suit and five bob.
I worked with a guy who as an eighteen year old was captured at Dunkirk and like your father in law spent the rest of the war in camps in various parts of Europe.
On his release, he was rewarded by having the price of the rifle the Germans took off him, deducted from the pay the army owed him.
Without success he fought the above until the day he died about seven or eight years ago.
Personally I blame much of what you describe as the current poppy hysteria on Gordon Brown who, knowing the gig was up,resorted to jingoism such as Armed Forces Day in a desperate attempt to curry favour amongst the English electorate.
And I say, what the hell am I doing drinking in Wishhaaaaaa
Oh the blue room is bare there are no trophies there. Can they be destarred ?

Your stats are very hard for anyone to argue against, IMO.
We are changing everything, and I believe this to be a good thing because it is, Football, an enjoyment.
Patience is mos def required, I cannae wait until I see Ronny’s team out there and not Lenny’s. Lenny was totally different from Ronny, though both want the very best for Celtic.

Hello again all you young rebels.
As you all no i don’t post after a horrible defeat, i usually let it lie
for a few days to let the anger subside but its Sunday now here
in Oz and I’m still livid about some of those impostors in a Celtic
strip. i usually make excuses for our players when they have a
mare but to watch big 6 ft odd guys ducking when their opponent
is having a shot at goal, well thats not my team, me I’ve got a face
like a bashed tomato trying to stop other teams scoring against
whichever club i was playing for and then we have wee jamesie as
we call him , bigger than me but why play him and then don’t give
him the ball? or did he want the ball? big Jock used to say give
wee Jinky the ball the rest of you take a rest and regroup, the
difference was the wee mhan demanded the ball.
I was on a rant there and wanted to name players that shouldn’t be
near our team but I’ve seen it all before and i just think for our
support we deserve better.
Off down the peninsula now to meet Paddymacoz and some other
disgruntled tims no doubt we will argue all day about the the Celtic
but hey, were all still supporters of the finest club in the world and
thats what keeps us sane.

we only have one when it matters, early in an attack and there is some disorganisation.
The oldco had 54 league titles. Now 49.

Brown might be the highest paid player on the books but a real genuine holding player he isn’t
Nor ever will be because he lacks the footballing intelligence to play that role.
He was brought up as a box to box midfielder and even now for both club and country will chase the ball instead of sitting and protecting the space in front of the back 4.
We get away with this in Scotland because the opposition is so poor but good team will exploit it.
Even the exHun Alex Rae pointed out on the radio today that this CFC side is too soft especially when Brown is missing.
One tiny example – Ronnie through his lack of hard edged professionalism – told the world about About Simonuvic’s injury and then played him. Molde did the professional thing and tested him early doors with the predictable result that we lost one substitution to a known injury in less than 5 minutes! Does anyone on here really think that had that been reversed Ronnie would have told his team to do the same?
Nice guy perhaps but manager – never in a month of Sundays!

If my first sentence seemed in any way facetious, I apologise profusely.
I have never worn a poppy and never sing the National Anthem because I simply do not know, and never bothered to learn the words.
I have however, spent my life in pursuit of fairness and justice, even publicly advocating better war widow’s pensions etc., which in my opinion makes me a better patriot than many who once a year throw a couple of bob into a collection tin.

I saw your post TET but I’m still unsure why the drastic reduction on the odds!
Suppose we will find out what’s best when Cole plays alongside Griffiths.

True but I dont think another striker solves the age old Celtic problem of how to score against packed defences.
You either have a world class striker or you hope to wear down the opposition. It’s only pretty if you have a world class striker

I’m going to make a prediction; the titles will be stripped, no other outcome.
I’m normally a glass half empty, with regards these shysters that run our game, this feels different, no more can be done, the Ibrox club is a basket case.
*absolutely sid on both counts.
I posted earlier about our absentee landlord and his friendship with Joe ENIC Lewis which may be the reason for our low key approach to all things zombie/sevco, give them enough room etc and rely on karma.
This had me thinking about clarence and his involvement with them. Now he may be a business man but not in the same league as DD and Joe or even Mash, more in line with bader in that their main attributes is in parting people, aye even smart ones, from their money.
He glibbily talked about the hun heritage and standing on the slopes of the EBT Dome with his da, horse manure as his da was against them and us.
You never hear of anyone being pally with him up the ‘mulk, he sounds like a “billy nae pals” as opposed tae a “billy boy”.
My feeling is that the while the rag and bone man talked him out of his money, he on the other hand was thinking about how much he also could take the mugs for.
It backfired and he ended up being sloped by the barren knight, so he now wants his money back and the best chance was for the mugs tae hand it over again. Mash has put a dent in that idea and now EBTgate could be the straw that broke this humphy backed camel.

We have just won the 2003, 2005, 2009, 20210 and 2011 league championships on the basis that the team ahead of us have been found guilty of cheating. 5 championships in one night. Not bad. Here we go to 14 in a row. And well done Queen of the south Scottish cup winners.

I got the Hibs at 16s they are now 10s.

Simunovic went off injured against Aberdeen and missed the first leg against Molde. It was hardly a secret that he was struggling to make the game. I’m sure Ronny took advice from the Physio and spoke to Jozo before playing him.
I see that Pigotts Bullets FC are winning 2-1 away from home at half time tonight :-)

I’d rather the trophies were scratched in those years. A wee dignified asterisk* against those titles would be great………lest they forget what happened.
* see what I did there……perhaps an asterisk could replace one of thr stars ?

No offence taken and I concur with your post.
I’m 67 and like many in my age group – I can never recall my parents, uncles and grandparents (the foot-soldiers) speaking fondly of the EHF and the poppy.
All got on with rebuilding their lives and brought-up their families as best they could given the circumstances post-war.
Dixiedeans…
If anyone knows something is going down it’ll be the bookies, all loan players will need to go if administration comes in, the angles are getting covered.HH
TTR,
That Simunovic laddie, he sounds CONFIDENT in his ability.
A Capitano type.
He will be.
Sipsini
Prob cos the bookies see that Hibs are a serious challenge, they know like everyone else that they should be dead and buried, but somehow they are still breathing, and they may well stumble along to the end of the season, they prob will, so the bookie is covering his ass, there will have been a few bob punted on them in the past week or so I reckon, so the odds for that alone will tumble.
