You and I have been through a few close seasons together, so it’s no surprise we have this uncomfortable feeling as we look ahead to (hopefully) four hugely important Champions League qualifiers while contemplating how ring-rusty Celtic have looked preseason. These games really don’t matter, of course, they are there to allow us to experiment and build fitness for the real challenges ahead, but you would rather we were turning teams over 4-0 than being on the receiving end. Evidence, perhaps, that the experiments were leading somewhere.
Lots of coverage today of the fall-out from Friday’s meeting between the SFA and Sevco, some of it informed. Huge issues clearly still remain before they will be granted permission to join the SFA but they would not be helped by their prospective manager, Ally McCoist, walking away this week. Sevco have not sold many season tickets but if McCoist goes their chances of doing to will become increasingly scarce. Friday’s comment from McCoist sounded like a scene-setter for a resignation letter.

I argued with a hun that FPLG got them liquidated. If the man who does not do walking away had not got them humped out of Europe they probably would have survived to the end of the season without administration.
Aunt Sally is the greatest rangers manager EVER in my opinion…
I hope our hero Craigey Whyte gets to light the Olympic flame after Paul Baxendale-Walker takes the torch around the stadium.

Ironical. (thumbsup)

I remember seeing a skip with the proprietary legend “WIMPEY WASTE MANAGEMENT” on it.
Underneath was scrawled “SO DO BALFOUR BEATTY”

The Late Mr. Smith never gets the credit he deserves for taking the Huns towards oblivion.

Comment-
“What is apparent in all the point-by-point resistance to the consequences and impending penalties incurred by the oldco, and the intricate difficulties in accommodating the newco, is that this isn’t about sport. It’s about a group of people with a desperate psychological need to be associated with a football team which is dominant and successful and thus makes them feel successful too: a team to which they can also attach their sub-culture of religious and political sectarianism which, however shallow and ignorant, satisfies personal inadequacy. Thus the lack of remorse; thus the outrage at the legitimate actions of the football authorities, and the opinions of other clubs and their supporters; thus the complaints about ‘having been punished enough’. For them, a ‘fair’ treatment of the oldco/newco predicament would be exceptional, special treatment, to allow swift restoration of the warm glow of success, the weekly opportunities to sing the songs of hate and feel part of something big and important. The crisis has revealed the real magnitude of this sickness, this cancer in Scottish society: it is to be hoped that it will be removed and forever discouraged from return. “
I agree that Wattie doesn’t get the credit he deserved for leading the forces of darkness into oblivion. When they were stoney broke and got dumped out of Europe by Kaunas but still spent £12m on Mendes, Jelavic, Lafferty et al I knew for certain the writing was on the wall.
I have got to say that I am fed up to the back teeth reading about Brian Kennedy and a new ragers bid, how many is that now, more bids than the TFPLG has had pies(mibbe no)
Are the huns themselves not embarrassed by this man,
Imagine if it was Celtic that he was bidding on, he would have been so ridiculed and vilified by the MSM that he would be living in a cave in Afghanistan
He has made that much of a erse of himself that I would love to see the mental, attention seeking,same T shirt wearing prat, get control of them

Anyone think he will have a positive impact this season? He had a horrendous time with injury but I honestly do not see what his strengths are. Hope I am proved wrong, especially if we did in fact spend £2 Million on him.
AsonofDan @ 15.20.
I concur wholeheartedly, Sally’s managerial abilities are, thankfully, pure p**h. I hope he gets a testimonial. Those deluded huns can only see a “brother”, and that’s more important than anything else.
To steal someone else’s line, stupid, stupid huns!

Don’t forget his famous 4 4 2,
First British team to lose all 3 Champions league home games losing 4 goals twice, and finally 2 goals….
Lyon, Stuttgart , ………….., – can’t remember
South Of Tunis
I thought they were ranked 210th?
If we have a good crowd backing the team next week, I expect us to take 3 or 4 off them next week
KOJO 1518
With the greatest respect,what you suggest is the route which The Senile F++k followfollowed in 2007-2008
I never want to see a Celtic team playing like that against a team from Finland.
Eeeehhhhh… If you did not realise, we play HJK next week.
Got carried away there on that last post. :0)
Afternoon Hoops, 83 Euro’s from Sofia “direct” to Helsinki.
Whats not to like ?
Does anyone know how to take ‘predictive spelling’ off an iPad…?
Thanks Kojo,
I’m not saying Neil shouldn’t be careful, just I wouldn’t exagerate Smith’s tactical genius. For me, he got desperately luck one season.
He was rubbish at Everton – compare Moyes – and was papped out of Rangers first time round for his poor European record.
HAs anyone in the media attacked fplg’s comments yet?
Has someone pointed out yet that rangrs have not yet been punished. they have simply faced the same sanctions all teams in their situation have received, put down to bottomleague, ask livi and gretna fans. 10 point deduction last season? thats not punishment, thats the sanction ALL teams receive for going into admin. Nobody is picking on them, in fact I dont recall teams having to vote if gretna airdire livi would go all the way down or just to the 1st div.
The thing is all these teams were poorly run and went to wall or as good as ( as Dundee have proved if you simply take your medicine and get on with it you can recover) however to my knowledge they did not do anything illegal or bring game into disreptue. (for example they paid their PAYE)
Now we have to wait for FTT and we have to wait for SFA/SPL whoever the hell it is enquiry into the shenanigans over the last decade or so. Once these come to pass then the team formerly known as rangers need to be punished for these guilty acts. Who knows some of the guilty punishments may not just be on the football side of things.
So dont let anyone tell you enough is enough and they have been punished enough, they havent been punished at all yet.
Had to explain this to an elderly dundee utd fan yesterday who thought that they had been punished and people were now just out for blood – had to put him right on that!
They were Rangers, no one liked them – and now it is coming back to bite them!

We all did. Which makes their greetin about ‘the fans shouldn’t be punished, we didn’t know about any of this’ all the funnier.
They spent that money because the Huns were threatening to become even more unpleasant than usual as a result of the Kaunas defeat.

Aye,they didnae take too kindly to us laughing at them!
Not being pedantic,but I’m pretty sure that the post-Kaunas splurge,which was effectively a monumental mason doing a wee bit of engraving on a tombstone,was a fair bit more than £12m,was it not?
Disnae matter,tbh. Just curious.
Have sevco demanded an extension to the division 3 season yet to accomodate the Kelty Hearts game?
