The Rangers International share prospectus contained references about league reconstruction possibly expediting the club’s ascent to the Scottish Premier League for the first time. This was never on anyone else’s agenda and was merely the latest manifestation of the train of thought that Scottish football could not, and would not, consider life without ‘Rangers’ in the top flight, or perhaps one division below. We can only hope that the company’s budgeting was not dependent on this aspiration.
Even the most ardent advocates of the belief structure that a ‘Rangers’ branded company is wanted and needed by the rest of the game must now accept ample evidence exists that their flat earth claims are folly. For the record, Scottish football no more needs Celtic than it did Rangers, we are a lumbering albatross around their necks.
The Rangers chief executive, Charles Green, makes a valid point about the remainder of his club’s season, “If this [12-12-18 reconstruction] does happen, what is the point of us finishing the season?
“We might as well have a winter break from now until August. I can’t see any point in carrying on with meaningless matches.”
Crap club
As many have pointed out, his is the same purpose as the teams in each division who are free of relegation threats and already out of title/promotion contention – it’s called sport, but all teams in the SFL Third Division are effectively now playing for the joy of the game itself, which is pretty much what most of the do anyway. Let’s hope Mr Green’s comments are not widely reported to those he is trying to sell tickets to. It was astutely reported that Green has the makings of a PT Barnum about him, but rubbishing your own product is more Gerald Ratner than Barnum.
Roll up, roll up
By contrast, PT Lawwell’s comments on the proposed reorganisation, “To be fair, it is one of the very infrequent times when the greater good of the game has been taken into account”, could be taken straight from the consensus-builder’s manual. It remains to be seen how best to serve the greater good, but any solution has to work for every club, not just one or two.
Delighted Terry Butcher is staying in the Highlands. Great news for Inverness and the SPL. I’m enjoying this season; more please.

SKY NEWS: Charles Green is watching Celeb Big Bro. In other news, Scotland has been wiped from the face of planet earth in freak explosion.

that’s the idea I’m afraid
chip…chip…chip with the negative propaganda
Last week Phil Mac with his ‘summoned’ lie
Now it’s bogey men infiltrating the nice Green Brigade, which basically amounts to the same thing as the Green Brigade are the bogey men.
A wee plain clothes kamikaze polis with a flare at Parkhead, slap bang in the middle of 111 and it’s curtains.
The seeds are being sown.

Here is how the conversation goes.
Gordon Chree wonders why Doncaster is interested in “facilitating a place” for Sevco in division three. The phrase is Doncaster’s.
Chree: This is a newco. It’s not been a member of the SPL and on the face of it, it’s not really a matter for the SPL.
Doncaster: No, but it is an existing club even though it is a new company and clearly we have a part to play along with the SFL and the SFA in making that happen smoothly. It’s not a question of simply stepping back. The fact is that the share in the SPL is held by Rangers oldco so we do have a part to play in facilitating Rangers taking their place in division three.”
The interesting bit is Doncaster’s first word. “No.”
He agrees with Gordon Chree that this is a newco that has not been a member of the SPL. The member of the SPL is about to be liquidated and Doncaster’s job is to “facilitate” (he likes that word) the passing of its share in his organisation, the SPL, to Dundee.
Yes, yes. Chree could have sought to clarify it. Yes it’s lawyer’s double-speak and if you want to take part of the quote out of that context, it could suggest he is saying Sevco is Rangers. But he is actually quite careful not to say that.
Sevco was an existing club on July 16. It didn’t have a league to play in and had never taken part in a competitive match. It had sold 250 season tickets. But it was an existing club. So was oldco. It was in admin, its players had left and it was being liquidated, but it still held an SPL share and it was still an existing club, Rangers.

They think we are after thir culturally superior wummin.
Had a look at rm.
From what i read on a thread they’re not that bothered about the reconstruction of the leagues.
Maybe they realise there’s nothing they can do about it and it doesn’t really affect their circumstances.
What i find hard to understand is why when green reacted to the announcement the alarm bells having started ringing amongst thems.
Surely they see the panic in his eyes appear as he thought they were going to jump a league.

Jobo – when are you looking to go. I have a friend that works in the Vatican and can give some good advice about Papal Audiences and may be able to help with tickets and best vantage points etc. He helped me a few years back and the wife and I managed to shake Pope Benedict’s hand as he made his way through the crowds….. was greeting like a baby after it and have the photos to prove it. Cheers
Doc – if your still about, apologies didn’t respond last night, IT issues with both network and laptop constantly crashing.
Jobo and Midfield Maestro, can’t comment on Rome, but done Maldives, and from personal perspective have found Carribean to be much better value for money, particularly for Special occassions.
Sandals (Grande) in St Lucia for silver anniversary in 2009, and was brilliant. Doing another Sandals in Carribean shortly for another special occassion, and will be considering Sandals “Emerald Bay” next year – cause I like the name

Glad we have BT CEO on our board then ? (or bored for those that prefer)
Paul67,
I have really enjoyed and had a few chuckles at your articles over the last couple of days. ;)
Celtic are going from Strength to Strength and I feel strongly it is because this site and others, even when we were getting beat by the cheats, were redoubling efforts towards helping others.
It seems like Pete the Powa Lawwell is toying with Chuckles the Knuckles Green. The huns are now adoring Green. ;))
They will wake up soon surely? ;))

A bit of gaffer tape around the bracket is likely to hold it in place. The ball hitting it may have moved the dish off the signal,though.
Also,if you know anyone locally who has cancelled their Sky,ask for their LNB,inc bracket.
Or stop an engineer if you see one.
Cheers B… Your last line reminded me of one I know doon south who is kindly posting one up tomorrow.

It would be interesting if BT, not from Blantyre though, were to get involved in Scottish football, shame we have a contract for the next few years.

Spoke to TW on 2nd, he was aware, and would discuss with others
With apologies to Leo Sayer
They speak to each other at the same time every night
At the CQN nightshift
Kojo gives him french kisses
TSD gives her french cigarettes
They spin the same stuff every time
The facts are thin
But their eyes shine
Just digging the thrill from those dark skinned others
She gets him inta fights
Holds on to his hand
He whispers slowly “Sharia Law”
Seconds of planning so it’s gotta be right
Under the table her bag is busting at the seams
She made sure to bring grenades
Moonhowling
They’re scared of everything
Moonhowling
They’ve lost all their white friends
Moonhowling
It’s the only way
It’s frighening
But it means they’ll stay
Together
They’re gonna make it together
CowieBhoy, that would be a good night, I mentioned it to Auld Doc, he was more positive than I thought he would be, BT, the Blantyre version, has been in touch. A couple of special guests will come, Auld Doc got more interested when I told him that.

I noticed that Confucius’s most famous saying, and the one that describes Chuckles best appears to have been omitted :
