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.

Breaking News
In a fantastic show of generosity Challes Green has extended the olive branch to the creditors of the previous discredited regime of this famous club. “We have sympathy with their plight, of course we do, but we would like to make this discounted offer as a show of our support and empathy. We are offering this once in a lifetime opportunity to each and every one of these creditors, their chance to put the names of their business on one of our track side horedings.
Obviously this 50% discount is only open for a limited time and these companies will need to be vetted to see if they are liable to last the entire season. This scheme will operate on a first come first serve basis and will operate on a rotational system for each season until all creditors have taken up this fantastic sponsorship opportunity.
Please note: Prices will rise as we progress through the leagues.
Off to ma cot before my Mum tells me off for staying up too late!

No, it’s on the to do list !!!
Spoke to an old friend today who for his sins now works for Daily Record and Sunday Mail. Things grim there etc, tough all round. Asked him about Traynor’s move to Govan. Said he played a blinder in there as he led them to believe that he was emigrating! It is recognised that there has been serious damage caused by this. In another matter why has revenue dropped for the first time in years at Glasgow’s subway? Heard it is down to less folk going to Ibrox- so must be less games ie no Europe, out of cups early last season etc?
Thank God that Airdrie’s version of Slaverin’s Mounted Fut’n’mouth are guarding my rights.
I knew that drones were being deployed in the War against Terror. They’re very effective drones- I feel sleepy already.
Macjay- now, you should know better, Female Genital mutilation is wrong. You gonna condemn a whole religion with all its varied sects on the basis of that? I heard tell some Irish Catholics don’t wash- maybe we should be down on that sort of thing.
So it appears that the magnificent Green Brigade are about to be infiltrated by undesirable rabble rousers, thugs and malcontents. I can in fact confirm this to be absolutely de-facto correct.
Next Saturday, myself and young ACGR will agitate and raise merry hell as we take our seats among them after a light lunch and a couple of fine italian beers (water for the bhoy of course). Ha ha ha.
After reading that piece, or should I say pish I would concur that our support are indeed under attack from somewhere. Is it from within? I don’t know. But, that was one sinister work from a blogger who started by saying he/she was not a writer.
I’m leaving my pyro’s at home next week, I’ll save them till I’m back in the sanctuary of area 402.

Could Challs not get the support of SPT Underground to argue for Sevco to be fast tracked?
pst,
me and three mates that are scared to go into a blackpool pub want to have a ruck somewhere with other like minded (soft) lads.
plan is we meet at an estate close to a footbal club, charge each other , then run away, then post it on line.
dont tell the rozzera.

A close friend recently told me the details of Traynor leaving the Daily Record and his contract at Ibrox. I can’t divulge the information on here as I don’t want to drop my friend in it. However, if what he says is in any way accurate, the DR is in big, big trouble with hacks being offered new contracts on greatly reduced salaries.

Tis the manana thing, sort of get waylaid now and again, but Mrs TeT assures me it has to get fixed before the sun makes it’s inevitable return.

I appreciate what you are saying, I think the hour is late.
I remember listening to Futurequake when they were posting their weekly podcast that God was making it even easier to preach the Good News and Oh My God, how good was that commentary. Muslims coming to the West, probably very open to welcoming people, probably very wary of hateful people.
When people are aware of the control mechanisms they can then BREAK them down.
Far too many are unaware, unfortunately and I include you in that Kojo my Friend.

TET, I’m coming your way 18th – 22nd Feb, I booked flights last night. So pick your sclaff baw day from Tuesday to Thursday of that week and I’ll get it booked (I’m easy for any of these three).
I’ll try to get a time between 11.00 and 13.00. As before, the beers are on you. In the words of the late great Jean Luc Piccard. “make it so Mr TET”

Izzy,
You get a job yet ?

Yes, that’s happening -and more to follow. Real Radio taken over by new masters from London who wanted shot of the phone in nonsense. Rumours of Herald and Scotsman merging to survive and with Capital now controlling more listeners than Clyde in Glasgow – Capital, Smooth and Real Radio – all football free, pressure on them too from their foreign masters. Poor old MSM!

How did you know I was wee? :-)
Izzy, I’ve not seen you on the blog for a wee while. Last week my young bro Pedcaranchiano67 left a message for you to get in touch him re your work situation. He’s a regional manager for a major electrical supplier and can put you in touch with people who can maybe assist you.
Get his details from Paul67 or get mine and I can put you in touch with him. His offer was genuine and he will help if he can.
Neil Canamalar also asked you contact him as he had a contact for you.
Hope you take up these offers as you never know where opportunity knocks and there are some great people on this site.
Hail Hail

I’ve always enjoyed working with guys right at the end of their careers, they are invariably characters and have loads of brilliant stories to tell and most of all have excellent values that were drummed into them obviously.

Once I get a few more things up on the page I will post a link, it’s a bit sparse at the moment, first try n all that, and it takes for ever to download pics, a drawback of living in the sticks where the interweb is a thing for the townies.
I am also getting shot of a massive amount of stones and related stuff, going cheap, very cheap, enough to start a business.
I’m going to concentrate on the collars and belts.
