I see a bit of ‘It was five years ago, get over it’ going around today. Let’s be clear, our football was corrupted for over a decade as a dependency on spending money you don’t have took hold at Ibrox, infected many other clubs, before sending Rangers into administration and liquidation. And that’s not touching side letters hidden from HMRC, shredded correspondence and hundreds of games undertaken with incorrectly registered players. It was a very human tale of avarice and a desire to be seen as top dog in the social pecking order.
For 8 years before Administration Day the Cassandras on here who predicted what was to come, were also told to get over themselves, that as club as big and powerful as Rangers would always find someone to bail them out. Some of us were predicting the crash and burn a lot longer than that.
What I don’t read is ‘Get over it, the lessons have been learned’, because it is painfully obvious that at Ibrox, with the same directors in charge as before liquidation, prioritising financial security (for the club, that is) hasn’t happened. Every passing transfer window it’s also plain that we have more than a few adherents to David Murray’s ‘speculate to accumulate’ policy in the comments section.
So until the lesson has been learned (and a long time thereafter), I’ll reserve the right to recall the facts and financial reality, and to celebrate that great day: 14 February 2012, the first Administration Day at Ibrox. If one day you read Newco statements that say, “We’re going to match expenditure to income, and be happy with who we are”, it could be the last admin there, but don’t hold your breath, this turkey has another turd to drop.

Care to relate.

Mags,
Sometimes feel like I’m being treated like the Dunning Kruger delegate.

http://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/whistleblower-timeline-a-decade-plus-struggle-for-maurice-mccabe-1.2972451
That link might help,but in a nutshell
Irish Police are known as Garda ( Gaelic Term)
Several years ago a Police Sergeant wasnt happy with the activities of some of his colleagues ( squashing penalty points was a main one but several other issues)
After complaining ( foolishly) to Garda Management he found that not alone were his complaints not followed up but he himself was hounded by his colleagues and superior officers.
Eventually some sympathetic left wing independent politicians raised the matter in Parliament ( and guess what,found themselves subject to police harrassment)
It gets worse,a couple of years ago the then Garda Commissioner and Minister for Justice had to resign
The new Garda Commissioner set about trying to discredit the whistleblower.
A file was opened by the Child Protection Agency making false allegations that the whistleblower had sexually abused the daughter of a colleague…it gets worse
ALMORE
Hope you enjoyed your romantic meal with your good lady ! It was good to meet you at weekend , hopefully see you soon HH !

I`ve been following this the past few weeks. Lots more to come out of this, I think.
You are encouraging Suspicion and trying to suppress a voice that is in the Wilderness.
The Truth is Left @ the End.
You Told me your Hardcore stuff when drunk – Celtic Wise – it didn’t impress me one wee iota.
You had contacts in Belfast just in case.
What about Leaving it to Christ – 00ps.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
If I controlled things I’d Loan Rangers £15Mill and Let the World know it. Obviously the hardcore new Rangers Support Wouldn’t ever let that happen…. or would they, maybe they are tired of being haters?
I’d, as a consequence, get Every bowling Ckkkub dude out as a prerequisite.
Anything to stop Hatred.

Yes thoroughly enjoyed Dublin trip as always , thanks again for hospitality !
Bayern helped Borussia.

I’d suggest Yeshua had a hand in Bayern and Borussia
I Loved wee Andrew coming round for Sunday Dinner and hearing the Brilliant patter from my Dad about him wearing Blue in the Hoose.
FFS. They can’t ever beat us now, Never.
Allow us all to sit together and enjoy fitba together…. No?
Green Man/Aburntout case/Park road
Its a farce
The Taoiseach ( Prime Minister),Minister for Justice and various senior politicians have lied,been caught lying and admitted they lied about what they knew.
Mary Lou McDonald is now claiming that the Taoiseach was made aware of the false sexual abuse allegations back in 2014.
He claims he only heard last week
But thats all smoke and mirrors,
The real issue is the Police when accused of mal practice have ( rather than investigate and correct the mal practice) organised a smear campaign against the whistle blower and anyone who helped him
This smear campaign somehow involved getting a different Government Agency to open a file on him and his family (containing the false allegations of sexual abuse)
Its outrageous
I smell masons

The above are accounts of what happened to Clare Daly ( left wing independen TD) after she raised the matters in Parliament
Every game was fine going down Springfield Road to the car all Season.
The Aberdeen game had a lot more Buses but since the red and white scarved ones we were walking with were cool (as it should be) going back to the car, me and Aidan decided to stay on that side, car parked that side, then deeper into the buses, the nastiness started to happen…. That disappointed me.
It was Hun chants.
Young kid on hard men making the usual hun comment to get a Celt to react.

That seems to be the way the state operates, always has.
It gets back to the old political problem, how can a small group of people take control of the state when they have no political mandate.
This is where the dark arts come in.
The Americans call it a Brownstone operation; you set up a Brownstone, fill it with, er….ladies, and introduce your powerful local politicians, cops etc.
Voila!
Controlled.
Its an old one, but works every time.
Connect the dots.
Kincora, Jersey etc, and so on.

I would imagine that the Police probably have embarrassing info on senior politicians.
Gives them a bit of leverage
Its truly an appalling vista
My Nephew is a Rangers Supporter, he is a great wee guy. He could do with a break in life to get a decent job. He has been a Waiter and his Mum utilises him @ Christmas, he disnae wear the Rangers Top Anymore.
Oops, just realised I typed Andrew and not Allan.
Obviously Allan.

Its the criminal tendencies of the state actors that concern me.
Those that control the narrative.
Its psychedelia in digital form:)
Those who control the past, control the future….didnt someone once say that:)

General question.
When did Scottish football start being corrupt? Before David Murray, or was he the instigator?
*No it was when primrose ure pledged them tae the craft and willie wilton went for a boat ride doon the watter.

Boom, nothing like a short, sharp, and correct answer:)

i would imagine most police forces have a degree of corruption/laziness/incompetence
But to see stark evidence of how bad the malaise is..well its frightening really
The Penalty Points issue was a relatively minor thing ( although it allowed drunk drivers back on the road) but allegations of non prosecution of cases,malicious prosecution of cases/bribes to drug dealers/planting evidence etc etc also surfaced.

Tontine,
You’re a star.
Talking of which,
WITS,
Kenny can not survive another removed Commissioner.
I agree this Government should fall and FF will have to tread very carefully.
It is a very dangeroud time in Irish politics, not helped by the perception that FG/FF seem to be more in the Brexit camp, rather than bolstering the EU’s position.
Hello, Mary Lou.

Obviously FF dont think the time is right
But Maybe Noirin has a file on Enda…..and others

State police forces will soon become private entities. Corporations will be responsible for law and order. Its happening now.
Lobbyists will accuse state police of being unable to provide protection to the community, etc, blah. blah.
Why shouldn’t private companies be allowed to HELP the community, wouldnt that be public spirited:)
You get my drift:)
