Neil Lennon, his goalkeeper and defenders will not be too concerned at the loss of their first goal in domestic football yesterday since Noah was a boy. John Rankin’s pot-shot from 20-odd yards clipped the post on its way in but the Dundee United player scored from an area of the field that is usually vigorously monitored by Beram Kayal.
We’re going to miss that guy……

Absolutley spot on about the bunnett. I can vouch for the 18+ hour days.The wife and I took my Ma and Da for a meal in the Walfrid and as we approached the entrance Fergus was just leaving and took the time to speak to us, he finished by saying he hoped we enjoyed the meal.
The doorman then told us that he had been in at 5 o’clock that morning as he was every morning and that he had actually left the ground early that night. Early I said it’s 8 o’clock at night.
God bless the wee man, I just wish he was around just now as he certainly had the balls to fight our corner, unlike the present day lot, I’m sorry to say.
To all those who think that the Hun demise means eternal ta ta please think again.
The Scottish Masonic Lodge,biggest in the world per head of population,will absolutely ensure they do not go to to the wall.
Not a chance in the provebial million years.
We have to do them-on the park.

The battle for justice has only begun..
Stuart Bathgate: Rangers’ tax case is the only game in town
Published on Monday 16 January 2012 00:50
POTENTIALLY the most important event of the season begins today. It won’t take place on a pitch, it won’t be screened live on Sky, but it could nonetheless decide the outcome of the championship and a whole lot more besides.
Yes, it’s the Rangers tax case, to be heard at a tribunal in Edinburgh over the next three days, although a decision may not be forthcoming for weeks or even months.
At stake is the small matter of £49 million – plus unpaid interest and penalties – which Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs argue the club is due to pay.
Rangers owner Craig Whyte, who inherited the potential liability from Sir David Murray, has proclaimed his confidence that the outcome will be favourable for the club. HMRC appear equally confident. This one doesn’t look like ending in a score draw.
If Rangers win outright or are ordered to pay a vastly reduced sum, the case will come to be regarded as the most illusory of threats: something that spooked the Ibrox club’s supporters and provoked an epidemic of Schadenfreude in others. Conversely, if the Revenue win the day, the face of Scottish football will be changed.
Whyte has accepted that his club risk going into administration if they lose the case. That would trigger a points-deduction penalty from the SPL, which would surely be decisive in the race for the championship.
What is more, given that Rangers could sell their entire first-team squad and still not come close to breaking even if they have a £49m debt hanging over them, it is likely to take far longer than this season before they are out of the woods. That would leave a clear run to the title for Celtic, and an extra place in Europe for the rest of the top six to chase. Somehow, if the case were to be screened live, you get the feeling it would command the biggest viewing figures seen in Scottish football for some time.

Have The Celtic bored ever asked the SFA or the SPL on the “rumours” of Ranger’s tax debacle
and the serious impact implications thereof? And if not? why not?
—————————–
There are a number of scenarios that might emerge and until they do any discussions will be kept private. The SFA/SPL will also be canvassing views but again will be waiting to see which scenario to comment against.
For example, whilst HMRC do not do payment arrangements, what they do will affect not just one club but the Scottish football industry and all that earn from it and pay taxes on those earnings. They could also get nothing if the go for immediate payment and are dealing with an organisation that could repay their debt and still remain a viable if a slightly less competitive club in the SPL.
If that scenario were to emerge all the obvious questons and criticisms would evaporate although I have concerns about how the desperation to earn more from the CL/EL to make repayment easier by a crippled club would again be a corrupting influence on our game. I would like to see at least a one year bar from Europe in the case of an arrangement being made with HMRC or any UEFA money earned redirected to development of the game for a period.
Auld Neil Lennon heid:
Nope, definitely not.
Just amazed that the MSM journos seem to have first-hand knowledge of the details of a Sky TV broadcasting contract?
Surely any points deduction could lead to Rangers finishing in the bottom half of the table at the time of the split therefore voiding any fourth Celtic/Rangers game (which is supposedly a stipulation in this contract)?

I would be even more amazed if the MSM have sat down and actually tried to calculate the actual loss and options for dealing with it, rather than saying it is a bad thing.
The alternative, total loss of credibility in the integrity of football is also a bad thing.
How is a decision reached without data?

No really

Make no mistake Maggie the fight for justice is only gathering pace.
From 1972 until 2011 the people not only from Derry but from throughout the world,especially the people from Scotland carried out a relentless
campaign to achieve justice for those murdered on Bloody Sunday.Victory was ours,
The people of Ballymurphy deserve the same.Justice will be done.
The soldiers who murdered in Norn Irn will all die of old age before there is any justice. Anything less would be to admit political culpability and responsibility. Its a bit like hun liquidation. Never happen.
Hey Teuchter can ye ever foresee a trip tae Glesga imminent?
TCR
Hopefully a final in May….Mibbees.
TAL
Maggie yer right as regards the murdering Brits.But the day is coming.Not on an an indivdual basis,
But,the British Army collectively will be exposed as a dirty murdering shower of scum who shot our innocent people to death and butchered a priest to death as he tried to admnister the Last Rites.
