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.

When one fights against oppression like the IRA against British imperialism or the Cubans against American imperialism it is going to get murderous and ugly. Che Guevera and Michael Collins are heroes in my book. Dont forget Cuba was no more than any other cess pit in America’s back yard. What’s that about cardinal Romero?
Oh yeah and dont believe the Venezuelan “ex-pats” either that tell you Chavez is a criminal.

Well Coronation time was here,
Fifty three, that was the year,
Another four from England met their doom.
They said we’ll have to try again,
But like before it was in vain,
Because the Cup is in the Parkhead trophy room.
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay,
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay,
And most of the football greats,
Have passed through Parkhead’s gates,
All to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.
And then in 1957
We faced a guy called Georgie Niven
The game is etched on every Celtic fan,
Wilson, Mochan and McPhail.
And Willie Fernie scored as well,
As Celtic beat the Rangers 7-1.
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay,
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay,
And most of the football greats,
Have passed through Parkhead’s gates,
All to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.

Keep doing what you are doing.

Bhoys,
RE employment in the oil industry offshore. I have worked in the oil industry for 20 years and dependant on your chosen role within the industry you could end up with basically no life at all. I started working as a junior field engineer for one of the major service companies – 21 days offshore with a break onshore of 2 or 3 days then another 21 days offshore was fairly common for service company personnel. Things have changed somewhat with the introduction of a tracking system that is supposed to limit the amount of days an individual can spend offshore in the UK however this is easily circumvented by the service companies. Long periods away from home are still common. Another issue was long working hours, still widespread. Not supposed to happen but again the poor UK legislation intended to prevent this is easily circumvented. I regularly spent long hours on the rig floor grabbing a couple of hours sleep when I could and this could go on for days at a time.
It is true that if you are employed as a welder or similar trade the chances are you will work a fixed 14 days on /14 days off rotation working 12 hour shifts
If you want to work offshore in a personnel friendly environment where the welfare of personnel takes precedent over oil company profit look no further than Norway. Personnel rights and working conditions are protected by both the Law and a very strong union. Excellent salary structures along with a maximum allowable amount of days allowed offshore per year.
My advice would be not to work in the UK sector – generally crap poor conditions with little employment protection. It is also full of dodgy handshaking H*Ns. I know of one major operator whose entire well service supervisory staff are H*Ns – coincidence? –nah they are all Masons also.
Petec thanks for noticing re the Willie Malley song (thumbs up)

Interesting posts last night re working offshore on the North Sea oil rigs, I enjoyed reading it.

Good morning Celticdom, in the Kingdom of Carmyllie (where I reign supreme) the huns are deid and remain so on this cold dank morning.
Izzy,I got your email buddy, loud and clear and will forward it on to PC67 and distribute your attachment far and wide. You just never know, the Tim moves in mysterious ways.
I hope you also contacted Neil Canamalar.

I am very lucky that I have people that come into my life when I really need them to enter into my life. Guardian Angel as Bobby suggests? I’m not so sure.
Prevent Cancer by delving deep into the Apricot “Nut”, and seed. You will have to batter it to get to the real substance. More evidence for God is the fact that, when you FIGHT hard to get through the protective shell, even when you lose the inner contents by sheer hard graft…..

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same,
There’s a pink one and a green one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same
And there’s doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same,
There’s a pink one and a green one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

Morning,
Very disappointed in Billy McNeil fueling the Sevco propaganda machine.

I would take a fit Stokes any day over a new Striker.
AsonofDan
Unfortunately for a variety of reasons that one is up in the air right now.
A fit Stokes with the nut screwed is a match winner and an asset. When he is injured and out of contract at the end of the season we have a problem.
Forget the personal life stuff. That will resolve itself one way or another.
Keep it in your mind and don’t forget,
that it ain’t he ,or she, or them, or it, that you belong to !
It’s alright, ma(i’m only bleeding)

I worked offshore for 27 years had some great times
Met a few good lads and had some fun times

I’m a big fan of the poet laureate to the Worthless Williams. As luck would have it his name is William Worthless. Now is that merely coincidence, or just a stroke of great great luck:-)
Sleepy Mole, by William Worthless.
there was a little mole a lovely chap was he
he lived in a hole beneath a great big tree
he like digging tunnels he would dig all day
kicking up the soil while going on his way
he left little hills scattered all around
where he had been digging while going underground
then when he got tired digging holes so deep
back to his little hole an then fall fast asleep
HAW Haw Haw!!
