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.

Seconded.
MacJay
Cant say i blame Oz for that one.
Seems like a good choice overall, although recent spats between yer man who disnae mince his words, and Trump…might cause some ructions.
You can beat a beat of Oz politico straight-talking eh:)
Bring back my personal laughter generator, the crazed Tony Abbot…..Russ Abbot’s brother:)

Agreed.
Smart choice re. USA.
Our current PM is a wimp who doesn`t know whether he is Arthur or Martha.
He and Obama tried to stiff the Donald by hiving off ” refugees ‘” after Trump`s election , but before Obama was out of office. Obama agreed.
The Donald , quite rightly , recognised the attempt to blindside him and gave Turnbull a piece of his mind.
Floating-Even just looking at the list,I can see it is mostly video clips that is taking up space,i will copy them and then delete,thank you HH
My friend Dave can make $000’s just by making a few phone calls.
He always travels first class, and never picks up the tab.
He has dozens of happy, loyal employees who appreciate him so much that several of them offer their services for free.

Is the beauty of the huns malpractice/cheating/skullduggery that-
It originated, conceived and was rolled out as club policy by Sir Cheat of the realm ably assisted by rented peepill in the meeja..
Thought of and made at ibrokes only.
Celtic were not involved then and they certainly are not involved in the toxic turd since their cva failed.
Why would they be involved?
The hun knows the historical signifigance of the cva being toileted
on 14th june 2012.Celtic, us and the rest know this too.
They crave authentication from the rest of Scottish football the very people they cheated
I stand by our stand alone policy, first hinted at on admin day when the meeja were told our operation was independent of the cheat augmented by the stand alone statement on cva day.
Long may it continue.
Canman I know for girfuy purposes it would be great to drive those coffin nails in,,but we are not involved.they brought it on themselves and done a grand job in ending their self harm.
We have been victims of a shyster, which I hope is corrected when SC verdictmeans lns is looked at.
Re the juninho ebt
The main difference here was the ebt was live when juninho came to us from Middlesbrough.
Celtic ENGAGED with hmrc, they sought direction and guidance from the taxman and followed it.
No raids on Celtic, no obfuscation
And as the royal knight said as mr black we were not doing it to gain an advantage we would not have!!!
Hail hail one and all
One Celtic
One history
One future
MacJay
I think the best solution for all concerned.
Would be, my election as POTUS and PM of Oz, in the same week, to save on time and expense.
Id bring back Tony Abbot, and pair him with Alan Partridge….my new intelligence team, and id send a few agents to North Korea, to give yer man KIM a decent haircut for starters:)

I used to get told at work not to bring my moods in with me – as often happened in the asterix years. Nowadays – I should not bring my work moods onto the blog!

Jim, you are like a wee fluffy kitten in comparison to some of the posters on CQN in the past:)
The multiple-poster scenarios and hunfiltrations have been epic.
At the moment, there are some talented ranters on CQN, thats for sure:)
Im sure one will be along in a moment to give me stick:)

Keep an eye on that Green Man, an undercover sticky for sure…

You know, Marx was rather fond of saying things like, ‘ If anything is certain, it is that I myself am not a Marxist’
But Starry, he would say that wouldnt he:)

The assassination of Kim`s ” half brother ‘ yesterday suggests a wee bit of insecurity on his part.
We`ll see.
Tony Abbott is a good and decent man who stopped the boats and the people smugglers .
The Northern Med. could and should have learned.
MacJay
Maybe Kim’s half brother, slagged his haircut:)

Anytime I hear the name Marx I am reminded of many happy days I spent wandering round Highgate Village on my days off in London. It was like an away day from the bump and grind of normal Finsbury Park living:))

You can bet your house on Number 1.
All will flow from SC decision on ebts iro LNS and what is revealed after CW trial iro Res12.
There is no point jumping the gun if both produce unassailable arguments for action.
The weight of evidence so far leans towards that being so, but remember that was the case with the original FTT so more patience required.
However its good to see folk are not willing to let bygones to be bygones until the full nature of those bygones is revealed and addressed.

Random one.
‘DynCorp Harvest’
Shhhh:)

South of Tunis, great comment by Varrati. Busquets, Rakitic can dish it out.
The level of cheating Rubentus did and were eventually caught gives me a wee glimmer of hope the now defunct club’s cheating can be dealt with properly but I’m not holding out to much hope
Joe Fillipi, I hope your wife’s operation went well.
So another defeat for Vale last night, onwards and downwards – the only positive is that Leo Fasan saved another penalty – centre half off with a suspected fracture. Game against Bristol Rovers on Saturday now a must win. However I will be sitting in section 443 cheering on the Bhoys – can’t wait.
100% correct.

If ever there is going to be an overhaul of the SFA it will have to be externally imposed.
Lots of good reasons why in this E Tims article.

But they want to dodge both:)
It cannot happen.

Real investigative Journalism.
If only half of it is true, its astounding.
Nobody in the mainstream will touch it.
I wonder why eh:)

Shocking stuff – never knew – is there a way to bring this scandal into the open?
DALLAS DALLAS .
Used to watch Serie B on the tele for the pure pleasure of watching the teenage Marco Verratti playing for Pescara . I remember him saying that the Del Piero comparisons were wrong because he lacked Del Piero’s pace and therefore he was happy to settle for being the next Pirlo .. Busquets assaulted him three times last night .
