BBC’s series, Scotland’s Game, has become compulsive viewing. Tales of redemption for Celtic, Hearts and others, and tales of woe for some. Last night’s episode had a few remarkably frank admissions.
One which caught the eye was former-Rangers former-manager, Alex McLeish, who admitted his title winning team “would’ve been behind [Celtic]” had they not funded their squad through EBTs. We should all take note for when the Big Tax Case reaches the Supreme Court.
Pleased to see the appropriate amount of damage done to Rangers by majority owner and chairman, David Murray, was correctly attributed, with one or two character defects throw in for good measure by contributing journalist, Tom English.
Aberdeen have nailed their proverbial flag to the mast this week with the word, “No previous meeting found” on their fixture list comment on a forthcoming game against Newco. It’s a simple comment, it’s accurate, has been confirmed in writing by Uefa and will position the club shoulder-to-shoulder with their fans.
Get it right, Celtic.

I reckon HMRC know they will get peanuts from any incarnation from Ibrox. But if they get a legally-binding result,they can go after other companies. Including a fair few clubs down south.
Think of clubs who have signed a player in,say,the last twenty years,who made you go-how can they afford him?
They’re the target.
Good afternoon from a very hot and sunny East Lothian, just of the phone to my mother who informs me it’s not raining in Killie. Must be an Indian summer!

HMRC aren’t interested in the money,they know it’s gone, this was always a “test case” they need the rule of law on the ebt’s for the tax evaders (not avoiders :-)
Aye BMCUWP,
It’s a test case…..when HMRC wins…..the English Leagues floodgates open…..

Has your daughter considered the Carnegie Trust? They have in the past contributed to Scots who are doing postgrad courses in England.
Got word for Cotillion 4.10 York ( each way)
TGM,
Masons before circa 800 AD( CE ) am not convinced…..Scots history goes way back….too bad for the Dark Ages…..or was it that French dude…..who changed all the calanders( no not Santa) so he could live through the millennium……;-))

Recently….Scots historians…Ulster Scots historians, have been trying to convince themselves, that those terrible Scoti/Irish were never in Scotland….There was no Dalriada.
Scoddland has always been purely Scoddish.
Nae borra.

Blinkin’ flip.
Plugged my phone in last night before I hit ma cot,started it up five minutes ago.
89% battery. Rapidly declined to 52%.
And counting…
Barely used in comparison wi my trusty 10yo Nokia that I charge once a week.
Apple make some great products but marketing is their main tool. How can it be a mobile phone if it’s attached to a wall socket all the time?
Technology might march ever oneards,but battery technology is still stuck in the dark ages.
What time are the Huns playing Malta?
HH
Tipperary and Kilkenny about to start in the all Ireland Hurling Final
Live on Sky Sports 3 and RTE of course
should be a cracker

To name but a few.
Bobby ye have to shut all the apps and programmes. Double click on the Home button and swipe them away.
Hi Friends
I am looking for tickets Borussia munchengladbach game away tie , any info would be appreciated, aff oot , will scroll back later ! Thanks
BMCUWP’s, re the iPhone battery, make sure you don’t have too many background Apps working, it drains the battery.
To switch them off double click on the home button and close the apps by swiping up on them.
Saves on memory too.
Knapdale,in Argyll is “allegedly”where all the ancient kings of Scotland and Dalriada were crowned.The stone of destiny is “allegedly”tied in with this but who knows,I,m sure there would have been an equivalent to our msm in these ancient times too?
Eh, no Dalriada…..revisionist pish…..next you’ll be saying that Greek Tyrants were never elected…..and that Tyrants as a word had no other historical meaning…..bahhh ;-))

I have never been into international football as for Scotland tonight am afraid am a Gordon Strachan fan and wish only good things for a very good ex-Celt :-)

I suppose it depends on what kind of history you read.
Scottish Historical Analysis has its own MSM, i assure you.
Ive been clattered by these er..’fellows’, more than a few times.
Its rife.
The crux…The Protestant and Hanoverian Succession 1701.

If the Tartan Army want to boo Celtic players.
Then imo, they can GTF.
I hope they get battered.
Like wee Gordon, however, dont like the Huns that run it.

Aye, maybe he did, followed by ‘still, it’s a new club now, so not its problem’.
But what he said, brief as it was, was the second welcome truth of the week regarding Rangers(1872-2012) and its tribute act.

Another to add to my autumn reading list then following Rubicon’s post this morning.
Thanks.
Just bought my ticket for the Murderwell game on 15th October, surprisingly there aren’t that many left.
Don’t care about international football, should be banned, how many caps did the Lisbon Lions win? I rest my case.
Hail! Hail!
Thanks,fellas
As far as I know,none of the apps are operative. Never downloaded any and barely use the pre-loaded ones.
Only three tabs currently open too.
New battery in March so that it didn’t fail me over in Dublin at Easter. That worked a treat. 3 told me no roaming charges while I was there and supplied me with “No service” just to be shooor.
B…..ds!
Probably just a glitch. But an annoying one in a long history of this worst ever purchase of mine.
I’m defo never buying another one,and if I could find my iPod Touch I’d have binned it by now.
This post was NOT brought to you by the marketing department of a technological tax-avoiding bunch of sociopaths.

True story.
When my Mum went up to St Wining’s Primary to register me,she was talking to Mrs McArdle,my future P1 and P2 teacher.
Oh dear,another Michael,she said. That’s five so far. I’ve decided to use their middle names too,so they know which one I’m speaking to.
There’s M Joseph,M John,M Patrick,M James,and M Ignatius.
Ignatius,said my Mum. Tut,some parents don’t half land their kids.
Actually,replied Mrs M-that one’s mine!
Enjoy yer trip,pal. Hope it goes down a treat.

Dalriada, what a pub that was ! My first away game was on the Dal bus.
