Old Lumley-troubled used a classic rhetorical technique yesterday. Give your target audience lots of points to consider which you know they will agree with; build empathy, get heads nodding, fists banging on tables, then slip in the line you are trying to sell. As a piece of prose, you have to respect the statement. This guy, or his writer, has not only read the Greeks, he’s understood their importance.
If Sir David is right, Rangers issued no side contracts, all non-discretionary payments to players in connection to football were registered, if the redacted contract which appeared in The Sun in March was a piece of fiction, if the prima facie evidence presented by Duff and Phelps was an error, he and his soon to be liquidated former club have nothing to worry about.

Ireland not so much in the sitty-down sports – women standing up and hitting each other should be golden though.
Great photo of Kevin Kyle doing the rounds on FB with Stranraer bhoys, ‘rebel songs flying out of him’ apparently!
Newco will love that one.

BBC cycling panel doing their best not to use the German word ‘bau-herr’ to describe Pendleton’s marginal victory.

I would only be interested if they changed it to gazebo steaks!
I know a guy who absolutely hates Kevin Kyle because he was and is a total donkey.
It will be funny to hear from that guy (sevco fan) now.
Victoria Pendleton relegated in the race.
Fat Sally wants the names of the officials.
Have to disagree James.
Do you honestly believe that the sfa/spl will just dissapear like their beloved club ?
Their beloved club are still hanging around BTW.
The sfa/spl are as bent as nine bob notes, how do you think they have held on to their power ? aye cos they are bent.
I remember saying to you a couple of years ago that things would get into the realms of politics, you discounted that notion pretty quickly, I think on that ocassion I was proven right.
There are powers in scotland that we all know about, but yet we know nothing about, these powers will never relinquish the power they have, never.
We even have a couple of suits on the board of these self same powers, they have done nothing to challenge the power of the match fixers, why would that be then ?
What changes have happened since Regan took over ???
A knew superduper fastrack system that is abit of a waste of time imo, nothing that matters has changed
Their president still holds office,the same president who was in receipt of an EBT.
They will never go away, and anyone who believes they will, are deluding themselfs.
Aye, they may well be hamstringed for a time, but they will be back, more rabid than they are, they will need someone to blame, who are the easy targets, aye Timmy.
I don’t believe that the will to exclude them again will be there, the majority of supporters, bar Celtic will see that enough has been done to them.
Just my opinion mind, delighted to be proven wrong, but I doubt it.
Has something just happened to the blog in the last few minutes it’s gone all weird for me?

The fonts have changed. The format also.
Are we on the other side?? Are we the only SPL team in Glasgow?

You exect there to be a SPL next season? Really?
How many pople on here said thems won,t be playing at all next season? Wrong.
How many people on here said they would not have a team?Wrong
How many people on here said they would not be able to sign players?Wrong
How many people on here said their history would be lost? Under construction.
Are you waiting for a punishment of ANY kind? Not happened.
They are being fully assited to survive and return asap! That is the evidence based on the facts so far.
I want them dead. That seems a long shot now.

I am on iPhone too. Much better.

“Bombastic martial metaphors are as quintessentially Rangers as hiding in the shipyards during WW2, or ostentatiously inviting uniformed service personnel to your stadium while refusing to pay taxes that contribute to their wages, weapons and life-saving equipment. (thumbsup)”
Whilst I wouldn’t want to replicate their invites the focussed withholding of tax payments which fund the British Army are commendable and of great interest. If you know how its done please tell me which form to complete…
HT
Na. It’s just you that’s weird.
Blog is fine.
MWD :-)))
Appointment made for optician
Couldn’t believe what the man has come away with, this is gonna be fun over the next few months!! LOVE IT!!!
On a more pressing note, can anyone on CQN suggest a bar as close to Glasgow airport as possible to watch the game tomorrow? I’m stayin at the holiday inn there and they definitely don’t have it, I get off my train at 17:20 and will have to check in before making my way to any pub and I am really struggling here!
Thanks in advance bhoys.

Ice cool new layout Paul, looks great on the Galaxy Note.
Will it also solve the sporadic scrolling issues on a Mac?

Read James Forrest’s posts earlier. Further, you’re looking, as I am, at a snapshot. The movie’s not finished yet.
Anyone know anywhere in Glasgow that will be showing the game tomorrow
Very swish new font. Very clear on iPad. Must check out phone…
Hearing that the game is on in Harry Hood’s in Blantyre tomorrow. Hope I’m allowed out to play!
