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”.

‘2 disallowed goals’
###
They weren’t goals, they were both offside.
Questions should be asked about why the player was offside on both occasions.
Rummybhoy…
Don’t you think having a defence in front of him that don’t have a clue might be the reason CG’s game has dropped since last season? HH
Question,
Would either GS or NL have stated Ciftci was their main signing target? Doubt if he’d have made the 1st squad team in Gordon or Lenny’s teams
We are where we are. Miles ahead of every other club domestically yet miles behind the top clubs in Europe. Scottish football is in termminal deiine through not fault of ours yet we are paying the price. Let’s enjoy the good times and roll with the bad ones. We’ll come again once we get someone at the helm with a modicum of ambition but until then more of the same I’m afraid. Imho.
Evening All ( as Jack warner used to say)

Re my earlier post i’m afraid that that was all my on work and I have to carry the responsibility for anyone liking it or thinking it is a lot of tosh.
Re the Celtic Trust – like virtually every other organisation – I am not a member.
Personally, I am much more of a pure loaner – there’s my opinion and you can like it or otherwise – that’s why I never join organisations. I just go my own wee way into the night.
Now, for anyone who likes a long read about non footballing matters I have been penning a wee Strandsky Tale about three men and maybe a common principle or two.
Here is the tale of Paul Robeson, Ed Murrow and The lucky number seven!
Just the odd 10,000 words but it will help you sleep!

Well night all thanks for the chat. H.H.

Hail hail brother
Let’s look on the bright side.
We won’t have to worry that Johansen is running about like a headless chicken against Ajax. Every cloud…
Of our squad I’d keep:
Gordon
Tierney
Broon
Commons
Bitton
Griff
Cole?
The rest aren’t good enough.
Major rebuilding required over the next two windows and Ronny isn’t the man to do it.
He’s like the bullshitter boss who knows all the jargon and can sound so plausible but you just know it’s all shite designed to make him look good and justify his position but, meanwhile, the place is falling apart.
My god that Raquel Welch is stunning for her age…hope for you yet TBB :)

Glass…. apologies
Tom English said he thought the defunc club had a sporting advantage and ENT Rea was used to say ‘na …I would have walked all the way back tae hundome’
This may have been posted since
Of course Loaner should be loner — going cross eyed now – wine called for!
Sipsini,
The games a bogey if they do nothing. For everyone. Choreographed sport like WWF. Entertainment for imbeciles. If that is what makes the most money that is what they will do. We need to be thankful that our plc is not David Murray. Pantomime stuff you know aimed at delinquents. The only question is. Us that approach sustainable. I believe tbat is what they think of us and the regard they have for us.
Now it csn be argued that they are no different from previous Celtic boards but previous Celtic boards never had this opportunity.

Some fabulous posts in the last 45 minutes.
BRTH, Latchford and Dena take a bow.
Some times I become Fed up with CQN with the trolls, and of course Celtic fans can be trolls too, and then I read posts like yours and my interest is stimulated again.
In August I posted I had an anaphylactic shock and had been taken to hospital. I received some really kind comments and a bit of enjoyable Mickey taking as I had been eating Caramel Wafers at the time. Anyway I was at the Western today and it transpires I have a medicine allergy. Anadin, Diclofenic, Naproxen and a good few more. So nothing to do with the Caramel Wafers.
===========================================================
So you had been dipping the Caramel Wafers in medicine?
Generally, I would just use a cup of tea.
But, Wow, that’s pretty hardcore.

Would have been my choice.

I was at ayr last April for the Scottish grand national. Enjoyed the day. Was at Wetherby last Saturday.
Navan next in a couple of weeks. Definitely next time I am over try and meet
Sipsini…agreed a poor defence doesn’t help Gordon, but in Europe last year it was the same even though the great VVD was in situ (I did rate Denayer though).
BGX uch your great tae.hope you enjoyed curry and wine.now get studyi ng or is it stoodying for tomorrows coupon..

Proviso..As long as he Wins the League…
Jupp Heynckes
That is all

I’m sure you’re right, Ronny will be here. Sadly, I also think we will see more of the same next season if he is.
Hope I’m wrong though.
So if sack Ronny how long does the replacement get?
God forbid if we get turned over up at Dingwall on Sunday or even draw that will be the end for Delia.Collins .Kennedy
and even Stumpy who looks after the ball boys and girls who with him in charge of them are another disaster
Will bite the Bullet.

Denial : An unconscious defence mechanism characterised by a refusal to accept painful reality.
Thats doesn’t quite fit the Hun as they are conscious (aren’t they?), if somewhat deluded.
Wilfull Ignorance : (look it up ) Now that describes them perfectly.
I keep it short and sweet when the ocassion calls. ‘You were caught cheating and died’ (with a smile).
Hits the spot.
