It took a late goal from Anthony Stokes to secure Celtic’s win at Tannadice in August. That led to a five match unbeaten run for Dundee United, which ended two weeks ago at Pittodrie before Inverness knocked 10-man United out of the League Cup on Tuesday with a 120th minute goal.
Jackie McNamara has stabilised his team and they are likely to finish in the top three this season, but the defeat on Tuesday, which led to a storm of controversy over the behaviour of Nadir Ciftci, will be a major challenge ahead of United’s trip to Celtic Park. The champions should win comfortably.
There was little glibness evident in The Herald’s sombre interview with Dave King, published this morning. Despite apparently getting along famously with antagonists on either of Rangers International shareholding, he was unable to reach a deal, perhaps because he didn’t speak to the Organ Grinder behind the club playing in Rangers colours.
Indeed, neither King, nor anyone else trying to oust, or do a deal with, the current board, knows the ultimate beneficiary behind Blue Pitch Holdings et al. Is it you? It’s not me, but I suppose that’s what everyone is saying right now.
That question, is the only show in town.
King wrapped up his comments to The Herald by saying “Over the last two years we have all witnessed the destructive value when individuals, who should be putting the club first, advance personal agendas through the media in an attempt to influence the most important stakeholder in Rangers Football Club – the fans”.
Self-awareness is a rare thing.
Mr King is 100% correct on the destructive influence those who have divided his new favourite club have had. Without the modestly self-named Blue Knights causing ultimately unproductive havoc, Charles Green’s consortium would surely not have over-paid and under-charged, leading to the situation King believes could lead to administration. The question now for those on the outside is, do they have the votes, or are they just peeing on the Broxy Bear Burgers?

You could score as many as daly at that level of ‘football’. The guys the Huns are playing week in week out are grafting all week so come Friday/Saturday they’ll be shattered and if you look at there stats they will proberly be beating these teams in the second half ( guess ).

Taurangabhoy –
I have a cousin who is in her 40s. When she was 13 she was raped several times by her stepfather. This resulted in her falling pregnant. She had an abortion and 2 years later tried to take her own life. She was never the same again.
I’m out of here.

Agreed mate it’s too emotive a subject to be discussed over a keyboard.

ONE of the main Protestant Loyal Orders faces a parade being banned from passing through an area of Glasgow’s east end on Remembrance Day. Fears of potential disorder have forced Police Scotland to step in to try to stop a loyalist parade passing through the Gallowgate area for the second time in three months. Glasgow City Council is now expected to prevent an Apprentice Boys of Derry event through the area. The organisation has refused an offer of an alternative route, with a crucial meeting on the topic scheduled for next week. Apprentice Boys want the route to pass down the area’s Bain Street on November 10. However, this will take them past pubs described as having an Irish Republican-supporting clientele. The police want to avoid any potential flashpoints by directing them along nearby Moir Street. It is a return procession following a Remembrance Day service at Glasgow Cathedral. Council officials will make a final decision on whether the parade can take the route through the Gallowgate to Bridgeton. But they are thought to be puzzled as to why the Apprentice Boys insist on the contentious route. Sources claim the group, set up to commemorate the 1689 Siege of Derry, has never before been in front of the public processions committee. This is the last resort in breaking deadlock over contentious marches, and is one of the most flexible organisations when in discussions with the council. There is also no tradition or previous experience of the submitted route being used by the organisation, with council sources claiming the stance suggests a hardening of attitudes. The same parade last year bypassed the Gallowgate and Barras market area due in part to Celtic playing a home fixture at Celtic Park. A council report states: “Police Scotland outlined their observations on the proposed procession and indicated their objection to the procession taking place as submitted. Police Scotland requested a rerouting of the parade via Moir Street rather than Bain Street, as submitted. “Their concerns were that should this parade take place, there would be a high risk of public disorder and a high risk of disruption to the life of the community. “This was on the basis that the parade would pass a number of licensed premises in Gallowgate frequented by patrons with republican sympathies and, further, that the parade would pass through the Barras market at a busy time of day causing disruption to traders, shoppers and traffic passing through the area.” In September organisers of a Loyalist parade who wanted to march through a section of Glasgow’s east end “to put a burning stick into the nest” were ordered by the council to re-route their event and change the date. The Regimental Blues, a group formed just this year, said it wanted to march through the Gallowgate as the area had become a “no-go area” for Loyalists. In August 2009 a small parade by the Royal Black Chapter sparked a riot on the Gallowgate on its way to Bridgeton as supporters and bandsmen clashed with Republican protesters. Talks with the council, Police Scotland and the Apprentice Boys have broken down in the past week. A council spokesman said: “This particular parade has traditionally followed the route that Police Scotland has requested. Moir Street was the route used in 2010 and 2011. It was the route applied for in 2012 and would, in all probability, have been followed had Celtic not been playing at Celtic Park. “There is no tradition or previous experience of the submitted route being used by the organisation.” No-one was available for comment from the Apprentice Boys Scottish Amalgamated Committee.
Hope ally doesn’t see this.
Will ruin his gigantic breakfast.
Will we read any “rangers target manager who isnt a fat tramp shock” headlines?

Interesting comments from the would be marchers
Here was me thinking it was all about history and culture
Tom, thats is very personal, and sad for her, she had a very difficult hand, what to do, many other have the same decision to make and I for one would not be in any position to support or condemn, would we live in other shoes. thank you for sharing. I understand why you would have a strong view. I think you are better than asking for someone else to chnage there view based on your life. Hope you are keeping well and looking forward to good times. Hail Hail.
