You all think you’re so smart, smugly laughing at the outcome of a game in a tournament you didn’t even know existed until recently. Let me tell you, yesterday’s defeat of Newco Rangers was nothing short of calamitous for the road I hoped the club would take.
Ally McCoist is crucial to all the things I hope happens to Newco in the years to come. He alone can deliver the hilarity waiting for when his team face full time footballers every week. Who else could spend so much yet produce so little? Who else would have the sheer brass neck to demand such a salary, even if partially deferred, in order to endorse the spivs as suitable recipients of season ticket money? This guy is unique and of immeasurable value.
Yesterday’s defeat fundamentally weakens his position. What now when, in true Rangers tradition, he stands in front of this year’s AGM thanking ‘yous’ for being the cream in his doughnut? Will they still cheer at being patronised like applauding seals completely lacking in self-awareness?
Mark my words, anything which undermines McCoist is unwelcome. A Ramsden’s Cup win would allow him to claim as much credit as he could waddle off with and would have upset no one. They had a party at Ibrox planned, like it was 1975 all over again. The humiliation must be significant.
The way forward for Newco Rangers is to put pressure on their board to release badly needed funds for the manager to spend in the hope of winning promotion from the Championship next season.
A word for Raith Rovers and their chairman Turnbull Hutton. It was a Raith Rovers director who sat across the table from one of the Rangers clubs (I’ve lost track) to judge their failure to dispense their tax and other duties during season 2011-12. McCoist then publicly demanded to know the names of the panel members.
It was Raith’s Starks Park ground which needed 24 hour security after receiving a threat to burn it to the ground following McCoist’s outburst. Turnbull Hutton stood firm and was one of the voices which ensured the rules were applied as they stood.
Seville – The Celtic Movement
“Going into the second leg, it was all in Liverpool’s favour and on paper it was Celtic’s toughest test. That wasn’t to be the case though as Celtic achieved a very comfortable 2-0 at Anfield. Both goals were superb to top a fantastic victory. A low free kick from Alan Thompson and a wonderful strike from John Hartson were the difference in this game. Celtic went through to the semi-final 3-1 on aggregate.”

A win on Saturday will bring sevco in £400k of the £700kthey need to pay this months wages.
The more I read and see with Madden & his crew the fix is in for Sat (IMHO) then again I could just be Paranoid

I could be wrong but I think you could be relatively new on here.
I don’t know Parkheadcumsalford but I’ve read enough of his posts to know he’s certainly not a Hun.
With all the talk of bad Bhoy Leigh Griffiths today, and now the meeja trying to persuade Neil Lennon to take over at Norwich City, I got to thinking about the last Celt to make that particular journey, the one and only 5 goals in 28 appearances Gary Hooper.
Perhaps we could entice him back north to the good life?
What a strike pairing that would be!

If it was down to football being played on the park I would put a heavy amount on Dundee Utd, sadly, I fear it won’t be and I’ll probably keep my money in my pocket…then again :)

Fact are as follows….Facts….Not the Tory propaganda that you lot are spouting. Please get facts right prior to calling me stupid or a liar. Language I would never ever use against a fellow blogger because I disagree with their point.
The line put out by Tories, year’s after the event, that Scottish Tory Ministers ‘requested’ Scotland get the Poll Tax a year ahead of England in no way changes the fact that Scotland was the testing ground and Scots suffered longer. The Tories did not care about people in Scotland suffering because of the Poll Tax. They only moved to repeal it when there riots on their doorstep in Westminster and they feared for their English seats.
These are the facts!
Can anyone give me the (short) odds on a Dundee Utd player being red carded and sevco getting a penalty from brother madden on Sat?
Just voted yes for supersized Sally staying at ibroke.
The only yes vote Frankie bhoy will be casting this year. :-)
And for the avoidance of doubt ‘NO’ I do not hate Scotland, Scots, haggis or the ever elusive Nessie. I do however fecking hate black pudding.

The Club have just issued a statement re: the LG saga.
Why don’t we DROP THE SUBJECT and let the Club deal with it?
All we are succeeding in doing is fueling the debate (without benefit of the full facts) – we are keeping the topic live for the trawling MSM scum.
Why don’t we wait to see how the Club assess; legal implications, employment law, footballing considerations and any ethical redress?
As TET and a few other have pointed out over these past few days – God help me if some of the self-righteous on this blog had been my Judge & Jury when I committed an indiscretion in younger life.
Let he without sin – chuck the first brick!

Given no tax or NI contributions will be deducted then this is a very desent rate for the work. Also if the people involved distribute their leaflets in under the 3 hrs then their hourly rate shoots up.
A quick question to all……..with EVERYTHING that’s happened over the past few weeks…….has the blog EVER EVER had so many “precious” posters…..some people really need to grow a pair…..
Tech guys, I’m having the having to login every time I post problem?
Just so you know…
There are many at Murray Park who would not be at all sorry to see the back of Super Salary. Some names might surprise you. Or maybe not?

Yup. Public life in NI is hardly the most savoury.
On the plus side. In my lifetime I can remember when there would have been no government funding for the Irish language let alone additional funding.
One of the biggest problems relating to your part of the world is that too many, perhaps conveniently, have bought into the idea that everything has been hunky dory since the Good Friday Agreement.
Mind you it doesn’t help when people like Adams and McGuiness give it the old ‘we knew nothin’ line’.

Not if its the fried variety. For an Ulaidh man (Ulster ; 9 county ulster that is) I have a strange aversion to fried foods much to the disdain of my family who love an oul Ulster fry up. Or Ulcer fry up as I refer to it. Strangely for them I love haggis and they hate it, don’t figure!
See that SDM regrets selling THEM to wee Craigie for a pound.

BillyBhoy05 – Can I ask you a question? Why do you rarely talk about football on this blog?
Of all the football subjects we could talk about – Sammi’s performance on Sat, Broonies performance on Sat, will we reach 100 points and goals, player of the year etc….you continually choose to talk about politics and not just your normal politics but the referendum.
If you really want to talk about politics find a political forum – there are a few out there.
Me – I come here to read and talk about football.

Well, maybe its time he stopped acting like it with his 4 word attacks.
For a teacher, you really should know better!
The back slapping on here at times is as childish as the songs in the LG video.

Offshore Egypt so no streaming video. All I can see is LG dancing on a table? If he cannot be DEFINiTIVELY identified as saying or uttering anything then he has no case to answer IMO. It’s why we have a legal system……..so people don’t get burned at the stake or drowned in village ponds.
He needs a serious lawyer and a serious talking to.
If he has no case to answer them the smm and more than a few on here to take a hard look at themselves really?
