“My father wasn’t at all keen on me becoming a Rangers supporter. He was a Glasgow policeman and because of that he resented the whole football scene in Glasgow. ‘He was actually very anti-football. When we were kids growing up he was very vocal on his dislike of the bigotry in football. The police in Glasgow at that time saw it as a basis for thuggery.
“My father took me to that first game reluctantly…”
Dave King, shooting the breeze with the Daily Mail in March last year.
“Like all of you who read this letter, I have always taken pride in being a Rangers supporter. It is something I inherited from my father who, in turn, inherited the legacy from my grandfather. This is what Rangers fans do. We pass on our pride and belief in Rangers to our children.”
Dave King’s letter to the season ticket marketing database last week.
One of the two statements is probably true, although with Dave, who knows? South African judge, Brian Southwood, referred to King as a “glib and shameless liar”. Despite this, the SFA decided he was an appropriate person to run a football club, free to send out messages like this, with the objective of relieving fans of an average of £411 per person. This is what happens when you enable people already branded a shameless liar, what do you expect?
I hope the SFA and Trading Standards are alerted to what’s going on, don’t leave it until it’s too late.
I’m waiting for new of the Ben Nevis Huddle, which should have taken place at the peak of the mountain in the last hour. Over 80 people set out on the climb this morning to raise funds for the Celtic Foundation – to feed the hungry, provide shelter for the homeless and help others in need.
It’s a magnificent Celtic effort. My wee brother’s up there, you can give his fundraising a pound or two here. Thank you.

King and John Bennett were appointed as RIFC Directors on 30th May.
Neither are Directors of TRFC Ltd.

Just knew it would be Dead Kennedys before I clicked your link. Class act! Thanks. :)
Battered what is the source of your statistics?
Right!
CQN Open tees off next month.
Time to dig out the clubs and hit the driving range.
Problem is, trouble enough finding the clubs, but damned if I can remember where the driving range is…
£411 X 50,000 equals £20 odd mill ,the glib ones money back??
Wee Aidan McClean and Coleman to score.
Just keeping it local.
Come on you Boys in Green
Mon the Brig!!!!
Oh NegAnon
She was asked and answered quite clearly. You needn’t put any money on it.

Like yourself Celtic is all that matters football wise, although this game definitely catching my interest due to a lot of Celtic connections….. As for the CL if Scotland get a positive result, maybe even a win do you not think Gordon, Mulgrew, Broony, Griff, wee Jamesy and others near the squad (GMS & SA) could get a massive lift, I realise as professional footballers it shouldn’t matter but for me winning breeds winning and we do have a big involvement with the Scotland team
TBB @ 14:48,
Thanks for that, it looks like he was just avoiding the EGM then.
Hail Hail
Hopefully Ireland get a much needed 3pts tonight.
Aiden mcgeady double and James McCarthy bicycle kick will do me
:-)
Has the big RRRRTICK been move yet? I just love that guy Ashley!!!!
Was she battered? What did she say?
GFTB
Totally agree bud. Think Stuart Armstrong will be playing regularly for Scotland too. Scottish success is better for us than Irish success.
Be interesting to see the Ireland line up
Robbin Brady and James McClean are 2 players I think would improve Celtic ..good hard working wingers who get the ball into the box quickly.
Brady played left back last week thou against England so not sure how line up is gonna go .

Includes the so-called “lost” data btw.
Must dash NegAnon, but you’ll catch it on the podcast/iPlayer.

Mon the Josh !
Hopefully in a few years he could be involved in games like today
delaneys dunky
Exactly, anything that is good for Celtic is good for us, enjoy your refreshments I& the fitba
Scotland’s international wins and rankings affect celtic’s champions league rankings. As if it’s not biased enough towards Spain, germany, ingerland..
Proudbhoy
Brady is a great player who has caught my eye every time I have seen him play for club or country.
DELANEYSDUNKY
He’s taking ‘The Fleg’
I should have a passport like The Fleg-it’s been everywhere.
Including my living-room wall,behind the telly and right next to my Lisbon Lions muriel. Much to the annoyance of my hun flatmate.
Tough titty,mate.

Thanks bud. Anyone near Chandlers, Clydebank is welcome to join us for the game later.
Hail Hail
Morning all from a sun soaked Seaside Florida.
I woke up this morning (after a long drive) in the quaintest little town. Have you seen the Truman Show? This is where it was filmed.
Appropriate article today considering my location. Seems (re: King differing statements above) that the Sevco fans are somehow living their own Truman Show out. Big difference is they still fail to realise, even after repeated endings, that they are just part of one big lie.

Life is a beach! Then you die!
Canny wait for my Spanish beach in five weeks. :)
Portishead bliss. Public Enemy, The Prodigy, Blur and Noel Gallagher mayhem in Spain.
Dave Grohl is a hobbling Living Legend. Broken leg and the show went on in Sweden. Class!

Winning when playing for Celtic is all that matters for me
I once went to a Scotland game, early eighties I think it was ? never ever, ever will I go to one again – or ever show any interest in International football
C E L T I C only for me :-)
I saw a post from TD from Vegas the other day, sounds like he was enjoying things in sin city.
Should have been there also, but life got in the way.
If your up TD, hope you are enjoying yersel

GSM came from Drakemire where the Polis were given houses back in the 60s.
My mate’s wife sat next to him in Netherton primary till he got transferred to Alan Glenn’s at 11. She said his intelligence level was well beyond the rest. Like many others, his gift didn’t stop him being a crook.
Continuing the occasional review of our victorious season

Totally concur, Celtic for me also, don’t let the 80s cloud your judgement these days, times are a changing
Jude…. Good stuff, hope he tops scoring in a cup final for you in the season to come and keeps progressing
Yep. That letter from King to the Sevco fans was extraordinary stuff.
https://theclumpany.wordpress.com/2015/06/12/tugged-forelocks-and-tugged-heartstrings/
The most remarkable line was “The wrong types have been removed from the Club”.
“Wrong types”?!
What are you trying to say Mr King?
That letter is yet another example of the bluster which is passing as ‘leadership’ around Sevco at the moment.
https://theclumpany.wordpress.com/2015/06/13/ethereal-leadership/
Having seen all this, I have now made up my mind.
I won’t be buying a Sevco season ticket.
Nae luck Dave!
delaneys dunky @ 15:16,
Life is a beach! Then you die!
Enjoy! One piece of advice…
Don’t get Spanish Bliss and Portishead Beach mixed up:-)
Ireland 1-2 Scotland
Compare and contrast a Keltfest of Football with the Anglosaxon snoozzfest last week!
Hail Hail
