Raith, what can go wrong? Newco back at court

93

Raith Rovers in the League Cup, what can go wrong?  Rovers are nine points off the top of the Championship but have already ejected Livingston and Aberdeen from this season’s League Cup, performing far better at the Tony Macaroni than some of us did

If my memory serves correct, they were just as far off the pace in the second tier that fateful day we try not to recall too often.  For Celtic, this is an opportunity to get back on track, for Raith Rovers, this is a chance to reach a Hampden semi-final, with all the money and prestige that brings.  Whatever ills them in the league, they found the ability to frustrate and dispose of two Premiership clubs this season.  I will be happy to see Celtic take a two goal lead.

Scotland’s favourite litigants’ representatives were back in court yesterday in their dispute with the SPFL.  The League have entered a sponsorship deal with online car dealer, cinch.  Newco refuse to comply with sponsorship terms, claiming a prior deal with Parks Motor Group (of Newco chairman, Douglas Park fame), prohibits them from doing so.

Newco provided a redacted document from May this year to substantiate their claim, however, Lord Keen, acting for the SPFL, informed the court the document revealed Newco and cinch were in talks as late as 7 June this year to rename Ibrox Stadium.

Sheer self-respect would prevent you, wouldn’t it?

    Thanks for the reference.

     

     

    As noted previously — you don’t quite get irony.

     

    My old egg chasing captain did — and the name stuck.

     

     

    Not sure about the Irish angle you put forward.

    As the blog becomes more confrontational than conversational I feel like I’m often caught in crossfire.

     

     

    I’m also losing track of the cliques, shared position groups and stances of individuals.

     

     

    A favour?

     

     

    Can all posters provide a list all the other posters they despise, disagree with or just routinely insult?

     

     

    Just to keep me right.

     

    (I confess to being intrigued about how many times my moniker might appear)

     

     

    Respectful suggestion to a few ……

     

     

    Relax, chill, unwind, have a dram or a hot chocolate, smoke a joint, watch something funny on YouTube, go hug a loved one.

     

     

    It’s only a blog 🤔🙂

    I thought Godley was a big fan of Thatcher.

    The main fault line seems to be over whether you support the cult or not.

     

     

    That seems to be the defining one, but there are others. Attitude towards the board and covid being the two that spring to mind.

     

     

    It would be an interesting Venn diagram.

    30 million for Glen Kamara.

     

    Somebody, anybody.

     

    Oh ma sides…☘

    Depends, 30 million what?

  10. My I-phone used to work on Celtic’s stadium wi-fi until recently. Now, when it blocks out my own roaming data, and I try to log into Celtic Park wi-fi, I get the message- Unreliable network. When I try to persist, I get “please reconfigure WAP(??) settings to enable. Either way- I can’t use my own phone or log into Celtic’s wi-fi, whilst I am at the ground.

     

    Nobody at the O2 shop could help me (probably all huns) – does anyone have any advice?

    Agree – would be nice if everyone was just a wee bit more chilled, and a wee bit less nasty. Doesn’t make you a lesser person…

     

     

    Good night in store this evening – me and Wee BGFC at the Hamilton Palace Grounds for a game of 5-a-sides (I’ll be sweeper, spraying immaculate (ahem) passes from the back, with occasional forays into deep-lying midfield – WeeBGFC buzzes up and down like maniacle Dervish, and smiting all before him).

     

     

    Then – swift change in the car and off to Celtic Park – buzzing to see Ange’s team again…I was at that 1994 game too – had forgotten that Paul missed the penalty – always had it in my head that it was Nicholas. But I now remember (having consulted Wiki) that he scored what we thought was the winner before we had to endure extra time and penalties.

     

     

    Anyway – confident tonight.

    There are at least three that I attempt to scroll past and avoid discussion with. I sometimes find it difficult to do so due to the varying characteristics of each.

     

     

    Life is too short for expending animosity and negative energy on people who I will never meet.

  15. TIMMY7_NOTED on 23RD SEPTEMBER 2021 4:30 PM

     

     

    So are you denying that there are ‘cliques, shared position groups and stances of individuals’?

     

     

    Or that the main delineation between them is whether or not you support the cult?

    I smell regurgitated shite.

    Then I suggest you review your personal hygiene regime.

    Don’t mind me intruding on a private argument.

     

     

    I would dispute the idea the main fault line on here is Scottish independence

     

     

    For me the main fault line is the traditional Lawwellites/PLC apologists v sceptics.

  18. Surely ange will play James McCarthy , the guy needs games to get up to scratch , he is a top player and a hardy one something we don’t have an abundance off . We have good tidy midfielders in rogic, turnbull but when the going is tough as the sevco and livingstone game these two went awol . McGregor although he is undoubtedly a top player wanders from these game too . This game tonight should be comfortable so I hope ange plays guys who are in our top pool we need grafters in . H H

    But division over that issue tends not to colour posters’ attitudes towards others more generally in the way that the cult thing does. But then I suppose that is part and parcel of the cult mindset.

  20. Folks, don’t engage with trolls, they only go away when ignored. I know it seems like a response is necessary, it really isn’t, ignore and move on. Think about the futility of trying to tell a narcissist they’re wrong.

  21. You may not agree with what Mad Mitch and Ernie Lynch are posting – but in my opinion they certainly make the blog much more interesting than it otherwise would be,.

     

     

    Most of the posters do to be fair, it’s only the pretend Celtic supporters who muck up the blog – Sevco fans pretending to be Celtic fans, if we could I’d like to get rid of them but no one else.
