It is one thing for football fans and administrators to be embroiled in the politics of the game but it’s no wonder that Neil Lennon tires of such subjects. His team are top of the SPL and in the knockout stages of the Champions League but he is being distracted by references to his club emanating from the lower leagues. Maybe he should limit his comments on this subject to those of Walter Smith, “We wish the new Rangers Football Club every good fortune.” Every “new” club deserves the same courtesy.
Can you imagine the reaction if Neil said the same!
Speaking of which, I see the man who has avoided trying to win friends among other clubs since his arrival in the game last year is now trying to influence people on league reconstruction. Good luck with that.
We spoke over the weekend about well-run clubs in the SPL (Inverness, St Johnstone, Ross County, Motherwell), where managers come and go but results tend to remain buoyant. Notably absent from this list was Dundee United, who have underachieved for years, but whose manager, Peter Houston, was today given permission to speak to English Championship side, Blackpool. Houston has been unable to sprinkle magic dust over Tannadice so, if offered the Blackpool job, I expect him to accept.
United need to ask some fundamental questions should they be forced to replace their manager, like why they have vastly more resources than Motherwell, and appear to be able to produce prodigious young talent, but consistently fail to match the Lanarkshire side the in the league table. They are a club in need of vision.

Gordy64,
Just ask for a phal supposed to be hotter than a vindaloo.
Summa, do you really believe this?
” I believe Thatcher knew that to Make the Industry safe You would have needed to Flatten it and Start Again..”
Do you think Thatcher did what she did “to make the industry safe”?
Are you daft?

gordy – we were in Cafe India in the Merchant City and a certain maniac decided to go for something called a Chicken Tikka Chance.
I assume the name came from the fact that there was always the chance of an ambulance being called…! It was looking that way when The Token Tim decided to try a bit! :-0
T4
Summa.
Thatcher had no feeling
this week: #OperationHushHush
Please do not mention anything about the liquidation of a company that bought a company that sold the assets
#OperationHushHush
If a company liquidates without producing any accounts no-one knows what the business dealings of that company were..
#OperationHushHush
Nothing strange in that, unless it is 3 consecutive companies involved in the purchase of a debt stricken football club
#OperationHushHush
Wavetower who bought RFC(1872)plc, became RFC Group, assets were hived off to Sevco5088 – ALL 3 bring liquidated
#OperationHushHush
Who bought what, from whom, for how much and with what, remains unknown.
All traces of loans from Ticketus erased.
#OperationHushHush
All deals / funding between Minty, WhyteKnight & Chuckles remain undisclosed
Canamalar,
I am sure he has had that,, he gets a vindaloo and asks the waiter to make
it hotter for him, seen some hot sauces on eBay that I might get for him
CANAMALAR
Nae kidding,I took a phal back to a restaurant in St Albans years ago.
Wasn’t stupid enough to ask for a replacement though.
My post at 23:49 is from Propa_Gander via twitter.

If you ever have the pleasure of Mrs TeT’s curry’s. you can ask for what you want, she makes the best I have ever tasted, seriously, from a Korma to a Phal, and as authentic as they come.
In saying that, I had the best chino ribs tonight, sweet honey, superb….blessed so I am >}
BMCUW,
Never heard of it till Berwick, had a bet for the beer for the rest of the night and the price of the meal, never even broke sweat, boy was scunnered, I babbled all the way through it and never missed a pick :o) Berwick curries are no very hot.
Cheers TET, You are a good man, I’m off to bed now, heading off for a week in Lanzarote tomorrow night. Will be about most of tomorrow, so no doubt will drop in and join the chat. Goodnight all from An Unrepentant Fenian Barsteward.

I find it difficult to see how you could paint a more damning picture of anyone else – Hitler, Stalin , Mao, etc.
This kind of hysterical exaggeration does no one any favours, and makes you look ridiculous.
_______________________________________________________________
Exaggeration? Maybes aye, maybes naw.
Certainly Mrs Thatcher did not slaughter her own people but then again she didn’t have the power to do so. She did have a kind of low contempt for the democratic process witnessed when she told her intimates that she could run the country much better with ‘a few good men.’
The Thatcher project was conceived as a much more right wing experiment than she managed to deliver. Her earliest advisers, including Airey Neave, were a fairly exotic bunch including apartheid sympathisers and anti-union activists spoiling for a fight.
I could go on but you’re losing the will to live.
Oops.
As i was going to say..
Thatcher has shown no remorse for the destruction that she slew on the working class.
Her prerogative was to wipe out the unions and to line the pockets of the white collar.
I hold no pity for her as i saw men weep as they saw their income disappear and thrown on the scrap heap.hh
