Loved the statement issued by the ‘3 Bears’ last night. They protest that their offer to Rangers International was superior to the offer from Sports Direct, which was accepted. What the sharp-eyed PR wizard didn’t figure when delivering the statement, though, is:
The board need 75% shareholder permission to dis-apply shareholder pre-emptive rights and create sufficient shares to allow the 3 Bears to fund their proposed share issue.
Support of the Easdale proxy block is needed to pass this dis-application.
Knowing they needed Easdale support, when the board asked if they would drop the EGM resolution to remove James Easdale from the board in order to make their proposal viable, the 3 Bears declined.
Consider the conversation:
A. “We’ll fund a share issue.”
B. “That needs Jimmy’s agreement. Will you drop your plans to sack him?”
A. “No. We’re still going to sack him.”
B. “Can’t do, Jimmy’s not going to vote for that.”
A. “It’s all your fault for not accepting our perfectly well thought-out proposal.”
It’s astonishing how shoddy an operation these clowns have. I know no one in the media will explain the reality to fans, nor will they believe anything they read here. When populist instigators for change have no viable plan, a club is deader than Rangers (mark I).

Early musical experiences at CP
So You Win Again – Hot chocolate
The Wild Side of Life – Quo
Anyone remember the home game in 1978-9 season when the DJ played the Grease tune You’re the One that I want about 5 times one after the other
The Jungle was in uproar ha ha
——————————————————————————————————————–
I have a vivid recollection of Cliff Richard’s Eurovision song entry “Congratulations” being played on the PA systems at the end of the match versus Morton when Bobby Lennox scored a last minute winner to clinch the title during the original NIAR. The whole stadium was bouncing to this classic even hardened heavy rock aficionados such as myself and my mates.
The next day the Sunday Mail reported that the huns had been doing premature jigs of delight at Rugby Park cos sumdy wi’ a tranny told them we’d had drawn 1-1 and they had won the league. I’m told quite a few didn’t find out till they spewed aff their supporters’ special trains at Glasgow Central. If I could travel back in time that would be the time and place for me.
Oh, oh, oh it’s Magic, ye know….
Bada..,

Evening folks,
Early musical experiences at CP
Pretty sure at one of my first old firm games, our fans were singing along to Mull of Kintyre at half time. The huns fans did not know what to do.
Any other old codgers on here remember when it was?

“King” Kenny?
Loved him as a player. Loved him.
He now lives in ComfortableGolfKlubJumperland, a place far removed from the slopes of Celtic Park.
It’s a shame, I always thought he was more savvy than this.
Regicide looks likely.
San Diego Bhoy,
I don’t know if the events surrounding the plaucky, cash strapped Ibrox side” are so much a microcosm of wider events in capitalist society, banking etc so much as maybe a template for them. As Canamalar pointed, at the last G20 mtg, banks were authorised to use their customer’s deposits as assets instead of liabilities, by means of “resolution proceeding”. Did the deadclub not effectively do much the same with taxpayers’ money, directly and through the bank?
However, in saying that, I will probably have my understanding of the G20 events the wrong way round or something, thus invalifating my whole theory.

Sorry again from DR……..last time honest.
SONGS ALLOWED
The Sash
A song about the “Glorious Revolution” of 1688. It celebrates successes of the Protestant Crown in Irish battles against forces of the deposed Catholic King James VII of Scotland and II of England and Ireland. The lyrics are not deemed offensive in the eyes of the law.
The Fields Of Athenry
A song which refers to rebellion against the “Famine and the Crown”. A folk ballad lamenting the Irish famine of the 1840s and the harsh punishment – transportation – for petty food theft. The song would not be proscribed under the new law.
The Cry Is No Surrender
Another song about William and Mary’s accession to the throne of Scotland, England and Ireland. It commemorates the Siege of Derry in 1689 during the Williamite War in Ireland. Again, it would not be proscribed under any new legislation.
The Soldiers’ Song
The national anthem of the Republic of Ireland. Allowed under the legislation the same way Flower Of Scotland would be allowed.
SONGS BANNED
Billy Boys
This song originated in the 1920s and celebrates the “Brigton” (Bridgeton, Glasgow) Protestant gang led by Billy Fullerton who often clashed with Catholic gangs. Lyrics such as “Up to our knees in F****n blood” mean it is classed as offensive.
Glasgow Celtic IRA
A chant which is offensive because of its terrorist reference. Celtic have said numerous times that there is no place for IRA references among the Celtic support.
The Famine Song
A chant which gloats about the Irish Famine of the 1840s. Proscribed as not only sectarian but also racist since it contains the lyrics “Why Don’t You Go Home?”
Ibrox Disaster Song
Offensive for obvious reasons.
Songs about deceased players
Various versions of sick and offensive songs have done the rounds with yobs singing about the death of Celtic winger Johnny Doyle, Rangers legend Davie Cooper and Dunfermline’s Norrie McCathie.
JURY’S OUT
The Boys Of The Old Brigade
The song is a pro-IRA anthem relating to the Irish War of Independence. Some Celtic fans claim it is not sectarian but the BBC refused to apologise for branding it as sectarian.
Follow Follow
The correct lyrics of this song would not be deemed offensive under the law. But the corrupted version includes “F*** the Pope and the Vatican”.
The Merry Ploughboy
This song includes references to joining the IRA and Ireland’s struggle for freedom.
The IRA referred to are the early 20th century version and not the late 20th century terrorist group.
It was banned on TV for many years in the Republic of Ireland because of a line changed by many to say “the land De Valera sold”, interpreted as a reference to Ulster.

As you were saying,4 yellow card tackles on Messi, and as bad a penalty as the ones at Poundland.

The guy was just frustrated,his cousin/brother/faither fae the Southern states of the good ole
USofA…could dae whit he liked with the non Klan members.
Why are old hun players always referred to as ” legends ” whereas for example John Doyle is referred to as a ” winger ” in that DR piece?
Does the mere fact that they played for the old club automatically confer legendary status?
VP,
Poor fella, can’t imagine he’d have went looking for gangs then, probably individual victims would be his style.
ray winstone’s big disembodied heid-scanned the rags in Morrisons, Ratcho was actually classed as ‘legendary’,I kid you not……

I would class myself as an old codger and was a regular at CP when Mull of Kintyre was in the charts but I can’t remember it being sung by us. I do however, remember, Sean South of Garryowen being sung to the tune of Amazing Grace which was a chart hit in 1972 by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. The irony was totally lost on me at the time.
Is it tomorrow Kris signs his new contract?

They should be allowed to belt out their sectarian and anti-irish bile. I hate then with a vengeance but I always knew that as soon as we went down the road of proscribed songs, it would became a totting up exercise and we would suffer as much if not more than them.
Bada Bing
If that wee rat is a hun legend….shooooorly ole Kirkie Broadfoot must be up there too?
bada bing. Aye it kind of devalues the term when wee no talent rat fuds like ratso are called legends.
BB
Sure it never said legendary ned about the wee sewer rat?
m6bhoy
The old memory might be playing tricks on me, but I think it was just the one time at half time against them at Parkhead we sang it.
Did not go regularly until about 74, so 72 just outside my time period. :0)
HH Dan
M6bhoy
Incredible but true that story. The hun game was on radio and it finished 5 mins before our game.
In that period we knew a goal would win Celtic the league. Meanwhile the huns assumed it was all over at CP too and were celebrating on the pitch at Rugby Park. Parkhead went mental when Lennox scored in 92 but the 1872 club fans continued to celebrate, some all the way back to Glasgow.
I’d a few mates at Kilmarnock that day and I recall them telling me that the word devastated didn’t cover how they felt.
Great memory.
Now urban legends I would concede when applied to the munters.
Like the whole with diarrhoea.

I remember Mull of Kintyre sang by the Jungle at a Christmas game v Aberdeen.
Late 70s
whore!
Much as I disagree with Dalglish`s opinions (if ,indeed they are), it is not his fault that hero status was bestowed upon him by Celtic supporters. No doubt he was a great player; many doubts that he was, or is, a great man. As football fans, too many are too keen to bequeath human greatness to players simply because of their skill. I really don`t know what Henrik Larsson`s views are on world issues and whether or not he holds political views with which I agree. It is sufficient for me that he was a wonderful player and conducted himself in a way that did not allow the media to demonise him and our club.If he was asked about the upcoming semi-final,would supporters think less of him if he called the opposition Rangers? Those of you attacking `King Kenny` must take some responsibility for your disappointment as a result your adulation of the man as opposed to the player. Attack the view not the speaker.

Incidentally, I heard the Mull of Kintyre sung at Celtic Park and as I only went around Christmas time ( when I made my annual visit from England), I can concur with Delanys Dunky.

“Attack the view not the speaker.” That’s just silly
