There are not words powerful enough to describe today’s news. The English language is insufficient and I have no Greek or Latin. Rangers Football Club have today asked the Court of Session to appoint an administrator, unable to service their creditors. The freight train of their tax tribunal has yet to hit, these events relate exclusively to how the club has operated in other areas.
Scottish Premier League rules state that clubs are deducted 10 points on going into administration, which will give Celtic a 14 point lead at the top of the table once in effect.
This is a day we have predicted will come for over three years. It has been inevitable for that long. Now the really interesting events will happen.
We don’t need no stinkin’ Rangers.
Up the Celts!

What would be an appropriate first post on this news-
CAN YOU HEAR THE RANGERS SING?
“For every 5 administrators Celtic appoint we will appoint 10” por cierto
Is this really happening or am I asleep?

Im I overly sentimental to think of my Dad (RIP) at this exact moment?
No M8; I’m in exactly the same position as your good self. This is just the first down payment on all the slurs that they had to suffer.
Thinking on many great Tims tonight. However, THEY are maybe playing an attempted escapology tactic with this announcement; hoping to get away with the BIG TAX case. Hell mend them and I’ll leave to our CQN legal eagles to opine on that.
Much more to come I’m sure.
God Bless the Celtic Football Club.
Hail Hail….. Gerry

From jelavic to gelatine.
From smoke screen to ice cream
From souness years to bottle of beers
From religious hate to celebrate
From Jamie ness to happiness
From Nine in a row to what a show
From years of pain to champagne
From Craig whyte to the futures bright.
We need you not.
Did anyone catch the Talksport headlines on the hour?
Mentioned that Cousin was signing for them but that some other player wasn’t signing for them but instead was coming to us!

It’ll sort itself out.

Paul67 – well done for your (& others) input on this story.
You know those tear-off calendars – each day has a little quote/ proverb? Read this one as the judgement was passed on the MBB.
Thought it appropriate – it sums up the difference between informative internet journalism on this and other sites such as; Phil and RTC when compared to the laptop loyal dinosaurs.
Once a newspaper touches a story, the facts are lost forever, even to the protagonists!
How apt – H! H!
charlie nic. 10 mill down a year so lets see what happening.lol

I have just put on a cap, which I will dof to you.
Many, many thanks for all your hard work.
Enjoy the day mi amigo.

They don’t come much better than this mi hermano :>))))))
Well the devil’s nipping at your heels and this time it’s for real
A lonely hunger starts to gnaw as you wash away the pain
Of another desperate dead end day forever filled with sadness
To forget about the pain you take your bottle, drink your grain
[Chorus:]
Singing Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here.
Leave your worries at the door boy, they’re not going anywhere
Hail, hail the gang’s all here
When the going gets tough, I know my friends will still be there
Well you’re walking down the road and the wind is in your face
You’re down and out and the unemployment line’s a mile long
The money in your pocket may not get you through the day
But cheer up son I know a place where mugs like us belong
[Chorus]
Pick your heart up off the ground though I’m sure it weights a ton
You’re no better or no worse than any mothers son
Though you’re up against all odds and you’re backed against the wall
You recall the cheer, “The Gang’s All Here” and shout!
[Chorus]

Laudrup interviews Jim White ”Jim – why are you soooo Sick?’…
Thanks to all of the tims out there in the timternet who got its so right – Step forward one and all
A big hand for Paul 67, For Phil and for Rangers tax case.com and the many volunteers who have kept the issue burning, The timternet sites have changed the way we get the news. Shame on those in Scotland who are paid professionally to do that. They are beneath contempt.
I think we need an emergency phone in
Gordon_J:
I was just thinking that mate. God Rest Him.
He is sitting in Heaven right now going through his playlist fella.
He’s one of a number of people I wish were here to see it though.
