Media placeholders ahead of more foreboding news

408

I have lost track of who each of the newspapers back in the battle over the bones of Newco.  Have the Record always been so critical of Dave King or is this a new phenomenon?  Yesterday’s piece in that ‘paper, which left responsibility for Newco’s plight at the door of chairman King, read like a placeholder ahead of more foreboding news.

You and I knew how King’s tenure would play out.  We rooted for him as he rallied fans and all pliable outlets to subvert the club into a position he would be able to buy a controlling interest. We want him to stay forever (which in a corporate sense may not be that long).

Now the future is writ so large even those previously sceptical can see it.  Towards the end of next month the Scottish Cup semi-finals will take place and season book renewal forms will arrive across the country.  A similar scenario convinced the Easdales to give up the fight three years ago; ultimately, they were pragmatic.  From what we know about King, I don’t expect a similar abdication.  He will stay until it is impossible for him to do otherwise, irrespective of the best interests of the club.

Which is a good thing.  His team is so much fun to watch.

    Bishopton is a strange place.

     

     

    I did stop drinking in the pub’s when my daughter came along as I couldn’t risk the trouble. The local zombies hate me. Been told it often by tims who grew up here.its being an incomer from the port.

     

     

    The big new housing developments are great. So many celtic tops appearing.

    Don’t know you (I think) Lionsroars67, but that’s only temporary – a BIG Hail Hail from me and Wee BGFC.

     

     

    I work in Sunny Monklands Hospital – it’s the best hospital in Lanarkshire (I know not everyone will have a great experience!!), so I hope they treat you well.

     

     

    I’m not about this week – I do hope you are out before I’m back at work – however, if not, me and Wee BGFC would be delighted to pop in to say hello :))))

    It’s been my jaundiced belief, throughout the twenty three years I’ve lived in the village, that if any of those protected plant species in the Saltings had a market value, they’d be long gone.

     

     

    Nevertheless, I hope it continues to entrance the local primary school kids.

    My mate lives in the new houses. He hates Bishopton though. If you are from Dalmuir which is a fenian scheme Bishopton is hunhellhole.

    BRTH – Marspapa had an idea of a CD last night. Happy to get in contact to set something up – we do Irish and Scottish folk – nae Rebs (in public) due to bloody mobile phones and YouTube!!!!

     

     

    Anyway – here is a wee snipit of the St Pats festival in Coatbridge on Saturday – excuse the wind and iPhone microphone – we sound better live (honest!!!) – I’m singing and Wee BGFC is on the accordion at the back… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of0Wfm68FWw,

     

     

    Don’t let this put you off the idea :-)))

    it’s not just Scottish refs that are crap

     

    ————————-

     

    With some refs, it is indeed just being crap.

     

     

    Also, however, in other countries some refs cheat for money – here some just do it for their hatred of us.

     

     

    Don’t know what’s morally worse.

     

     

    I actually think they don’t consistently favour the dead team’s reincarnation as much as they used to do for the original Rangers – some still hate us just as much, though (although most are just crap).

    The blacker documentary was brilliant. How did you know of jazz ?

     

     

    I might be getting mixed up , but i thought Jazz was the armed robber full of bullet holes , he just took what life through at him , in and out of jail most his life .

    i did work there on a new site the road alongside the airport take a left down a single track road and there was a little development run by man and wife , cant remember the name of the company might have been Drum or something like that .
