Rangers relax BBC ban when cash is at stake

953

Rangers today relaxed their ban on the BBC, issued after a documentary with contributions from two former Rangers directors was screened last month.  The BBC booked a paying gig at Ibrox for this afternoon’s game against Dundee United, if Rangers stuck to their principles they would have missed a media payment from the SPL.

Tune in to BBC Scotland this afternoon and listen to the sound of licence payers’ money strut its stuff from Ibrox.

  1. Maybe it’s a typo

     

     

    Parity of this team?

     

     

    Party of the teens?

     

     

     

    Maybe it’s Gallic. Translation to english reads “trying to hard to appear clever”.

     

     

    They are an odd bunch.

    the Bangura/Diawarra debacle was this years Willo Flood debacle……wasting money on the cheap option, the pennywise,pound foolish phrase has never been more apt.

    That’s why the humble paperback will never fade away mate. As long as they have books and toilets we will never give in.

     

     

    Is the x factor on there too?

    Yeah, ’cause the hun faithful are so hard done by aint they.

     

     

    Imagine a BBC journo telling the slightest bit of truth regarding CW, outrageous behaviour.

     

     

    Someone posted earlier Phil’s latest article, gets ripped into the LL again, good stuff.

    Ye indeedy.

     

     

    I think its called selective memory.

     

     

    Ther are so many just love to bash Neil Lennon, Peter Lawwell or anyone within striking distance. And in that criticism they deliberately fotget the many many “honest mistakes” which robbed us of points certainly and titles arguably.

     

     

    However – when it comes to bashing Rangers (no bad thing of course) the SPL and anyone within striking distance these “honest mistakes” are trotted out to suit a purpose.

     

     

    You can’t have it both ways. Or at least that’s what you tell spoilt children

  7. While searching through my old emails for the one I posted earlier, I also came across this one:

     

     

    CUSTOMER SERVICE

     

    I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired.

     

    This is a true story from the “WordPerfect Helpline” which was transcribed

     

    from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say,

     

    the Help Desk employee was fired however, he is currently suing the

     

    WordPerfect organization for “Termination without cause.” This is the

     

    actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee.

     

     

    Now I know why they record these conversations……….

     

     

    Helpline: “Rich Hall computer assistance; may I help you?”

     

    Customer: “Yes, well, I’m having trouble with WordPerfect.”

     

    Helpline: “What sort of trouble?”

     

    Customer: “Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words

     

    went

     

    away.”

     

    Helpline: “Went away?”

     

    Customer: “They disappeared.”

     

    Helpline: “Hmmm. So what does your screen look like now?”

     

    Customer: “Nothing.”

     

    Helpline: “Nothing?”

     

    Customer: “It’s a blank; it won’t accept anything when I type.”

     

    Helpline” “Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?”

     

    Customer: “How do I tell?”

     

    Helpline: “Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?”

     

    Customer: “What’s a sea-prompt?”

     

    Helpline: “Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?”

     

    Customer: “There isn’t any cursor: I told you, it won’t accept anything I

     

    type.”

     

    Helpline: “Does your monitor have a power indicator?”

     

    Customer: “What’s a monitor?”

     

    Helpline: “It’s the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV.

     

    Does it have a little light that tells you when it’s on?”

     

    Customer: “I don’t know.”

     

    Helpline: “Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the

     

    power cord goes into it. Can you see that?”

     

    Customer: “Yes, I think so.”

     

    Helpline: “Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it’s plugged

     

    into the wall.”

     

    Customer: “Yes, it is.”

     

    Helpline: “When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were

     

    two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?”

     

    Customer “No.”

     

    Helpline: “Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find

     

    the

     

    other cable.”

     

    Customer: “Okay, here it is.”

     

    Helpline: “Follow it for me, and tell me if it’s plugged securely into the

     

    back of your computer.”

     

    Customer: “I can’t reach.”

     

    Helpline: “Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?”

     

    Customer: “No.”

     

    Helpline: “Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?”

     

    Customer: “Oh, it’s not because I don’t have the right angle it’s because

     

    it’s dark.”

     

    Helpline: “Dark?”

     

    Customer: “Yes – the office light is off, and the only light I have is

     

    coming in from the window.”

     

    Helpline: “Well, turn on the office light then.”

     

    Customer: “I can’t.”

     

    Helpline: “No? Why not?”

     

    Customer: “Because there’s a power failure.”

     

    Helpline: “A power…….a power failure…Aha, Okay, we’ve got it sorted

     

    now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your

     

    computer

     

    came in?”

     

    Customer: “Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.”

     

    Helpline: “Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just

     

    like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it

     

    from.”

     

    Customer: “Really? Is it that bad?”

     

    Helpline: “Yes, I’m afraid it is.”

     

    Customer” “Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?”

     

    Helpline: “Tell them you’re too f……… stupid to own a computer.”

    agree ..yes chemistry was vital v Rennes on Thursday night

     

     

    we also saw it in part against Udinese and over in Rennes

     

     

    and against Hibees in the league cup

     

     

    seems the cup competitions are the catalyst?

     

     

    we need to get it going in the league..again

  9. read the latest instalment on the RTC blog this morning……..if that excerpt from the internal communications is true then it truly is dynamite….especially the bit about Bryan Jackson of PKF to advise on wrongful trading provisions under the insolvency act 1986.

     

     

    Is this because they have failed to account for the tax liability in their accounts?

     

     

    I admit to being a bit confused about the tax case and their lurch towards administration…the general concensus seems to be that if they go into administration before the tax case result is known then the big bill doesnt count but the above bit from the internal communications seems to suggest that they have accounted wrongly for it and surely to appeal a bill then they have to have been served with it in the first place?

    ‘Parity of esteem’ was Sinn Féin’s slogan after the ceasefire in the 90s.

    Ahhhh the penny has dropped, I knew I’d came across that phrase before!!

  11. Lurgan. Dies not matter if you have 1 or 100 honest mistakes

  13. Big Packie's Accent on

    So, ‘parity of esteem’ is a commonly used political term,

     

    but the hun still looks foolish using it,

     

    as its not really appropriate/misunderstood by thems.

     

     

     

    Thanks all for the informative feedback.

    It’s a loyalist mural, but the bottom bit is their counter-argument to what Sinn Féin

     

     

    were campaigning for i.e equality and ‘parity of esteem’.

    I’d need “clarification” on that.

    BTW

     

     

     

    Next Sunday in Casement.

     

     

    Eire Og play in the Ulster Club Intermediate semis followed by The Cross in the Senior Semis.

     

     

    That’d be a good day for a Moyraverty exile.

  17. Last one, promise ;-p

     

     

    THINGS THAT MAKE YOU A MAN

     

     

    1. OPENING JARS – She’s struggling. You take it from her hands, open it effortlessly and pretend she loosened it for you. She didn’t. Jars are men’s work.

     

    >

     

    >2. CALLING SOMEONE ‘SON’ – Especially policemen, but even saying it to kids makes you the man.

     

    >

     

    >3. DOING A PROPER TACKLE – Another free kick for Scott West? A Vinny Jones tackle is the pinnacle of the game, simultaneously winning the ball and crippling the man. Magic.

     

    >

     

    >4. SHARPENING A PENCIL WITH A STANLEY KNIFE – Blunt, is it? Hand it here love. No, I don’t need a sharpener, you think I can’t whittle?

     

    >

     

    >5. GOING TO THE TIP – A manly act which combines driving and lifting as you thrillingly drop your rubbish into another huge pile of other rubbish.

     

    >

     

    >6. DRINKING UP – Specifically, rising from the table, slinging your coat on and downing two thirds of a pint in one fluid movement. Then nodding towards the door, saying, “Let’s go,” and striding out while everyone else struggles to catch up with you. God, you’re hard.

     

    >

     

    >7. HAVING A THIN BIT OF WOOD – in the shed, solely to stir paint with.

     

    >

     

    >8. HAVING A SCAR – Ideally it’ll be a facial knife wound, but even an iron burn on the wrist is good. “Ooh, did it hurt??” “Nahhhh.”

     

    >

     

    >9. HAVING A HANGOVER AND THICK STUBBLE – When birds have been partying they just whinge. You, on the other hand have physical evidence of your hardness, sprouting from your face. “Big night?” “Grrrrr, what does It look like?”

     

    >

     

    >10. NODDING AT COPPERS – A moments eye contact is all it takes for you to share the unspoken bond. “We’ve not seen eye to eye in the past,” it says, “but someone’s got to keep the chavs in line”.

     

    >

     

    >11. USING POWER TOOLS – especially ones slightly more powerful than you Need or can safely handle. Pneumatic drilling while smoking a fag? Superb.

     

    >

     

    >12. KICKING A FOOTY AGAINST A GARAGE DOOR – Clang-g-g-g-g-g-! “How about that Stewy? I kick so hard I set off car alarms.”

     

    >

     

    >13. ARRIVING IN A PUB LATE… and everyone cheers you. It doesn’t mean you’re popular, it just means your mates are pissed. However, the rest of the pub doesn’t know that.

     

    >

     

    >14. NOT WATCHING YOUR WEIGHT – fat is a feminist issue, apparently. Brilliant. Pass the pork crackling.

     

    >

     

    >15. CARVING THE ROAST – and saying “are you a leg or breast man” to the blokes and “do you want stuffing” to the women. Congratulations, you are Now your dad.

     

    >

     

    >16. WINKING – turns women to putty. Doesn’t it?

     

    >

     

    >17. TEST SWINGING HAMMERS – ideally, Mitre 10 would have little changing rooms with mirrors so you could see how rugged you look with any DIY item. Until then, we’ll make do with the aisles.

     

    >

     

    >18. TAKING OUT £250 FROM AN ATM – okay, so it’s for paying the plumber Later but with that much cash you feel like a mafia don. The only thing better is peeling notes off the roll later.

     

    >

     

    >19. PHONE CALLS THAT LAST LESS THAN A MINUTE – unlike birds, we get straight to the point. “Alright? Yep. Drink? Bar67 it is then. Seven. See ya.”

     

    >

     

    >20. PARALLEL PARKING – bosh, straight in. First time. Can Schumacher do that? No, because his car’s got no reverse gear which, technically, makes you the world’s best driver.

     

    >

     

    >21. HAVING EARNED THAT PINT – Since the dawn of time, men have toiled in The fields in blistering heat. Why? So, when it’s over we can stand there in silence, surveying our work with one hand resting on the beer gut while the other nurses a foaming jug of ale. Aaaah.

     

    >

     

    >22. HAVING SOMETHING PROPERLY WRONG WITH YOU – especially if you didn’t make a fuss. “Why was I off? Oh nothing much, just a brain haemorrhage”.

     

    >

     

    >23. KNOWING WHICH SCREWDRIVER IS WHICH – “A Phillips? For that? Are you mad, woman?”

    Spare a thought tonight for a true sporting great, Smokin Joe Frazier who is currently in hospice care with liver cancer.

     

    An undisputed world heavyweight champion from an era where it really meant something. Great memories from a great boxer.

    where we demonstably were jist oozin’ wi

     

     

    “Chemistry”

     

     

    And ,therefore , won Those….in a Very CONVINCING MANNER.

     

     

    Noo. Ah may be mistaken, but Ah seem tae recall..

     

     

    THAT LENNY CHANGED his Team Selection, in the Game

     

    Following , EACH… of those Excellent Results..

     

     

    And ..

     

     

    Well..

     

     

    Thereby..

     

     

    LOAST THE “CHEMISTRY”

     

     

    Ah am afraid that Lenny is Liable tae Repeat those Mistakes,

     

    (In Ma Opinion, that is) once Again… in his Team Selection for

     

    the Motherwell encounter.

     

     

    It will be interesting to find oot.. The Morra…if he Does thatll

     

    or.. if… He retains his Winning Selection which he fielded Agin the French..

     

     

    Ah am looking forward tae finding that oot.
