Rosenborg went five years without winning the Norwegian title before Kare Ingebrigtsen turned things around. Under him, they were champions the last three seasons – back on the pertch. A mere two points off the pace, having scraped a win against Valur, he was sacked, just six days before his former team face Celtic.
It seems harsh. This is a club burdened by their Champions League history. Until 2004, when money replaced meritocracy, they held the record for the number of consecutive appearances in the group stage (8). But they never turned the lights off. They see clubs from other small nations reach the group stage of the Europa League and, to a lesser extent, the Champions League, and know they could do the same.
If they thought Ingebrigtsen’s team would have beaten Celtic he would still be in a job. Instead, they have thrown the dice in the hope of giving players an edge. The new interim boss’s only managerial gig in the last seven years was six weeks in charge of the Aruba national team. Since then he’s kicked around as a youth coach and been an assistant in Dubai. It’s a strange one.
Sacking a manager often leads to a short-term boost in results, which is all that is required for European qualification. Expect this tie to be competitive. That’s good, I prefer Celtic to play in games with a visible edge, than against unknowns with fire in their belly. Cool heads will be needed. On that subject, we’ll discuss Jozo later.
Newco, having successfully argued the SFA should refer the matter of Rangers’ eligibility for Uefa competition in 2011 to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), now request the SFA do not take the matter to CAS. It’s a kind of Newco logic; any victory in a storm.
They argue this procedural guidance establishes the complaint has no merit, whereas the SFA Judicial Panel Disciplinary Tribunal did not address the complaint, only their competency to examine it.
The Judicial Panel ruled “the Notice of Complaint must be determined by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.” The word “must” has been overlooked by Newco. The SFA must act accordingly. Taking the whole thing to Lausanne will make sure we don’t need to go through another round of “Who are these people” type witch-hunts. I know what you are thinking, Dave King has been making friend with the SFA on a weekly basis for months now, surely they will do his bidding.
I’m not sure Dave’s that clever.

Anyone notice the name of Swiss Referee Observer for Rosenborg game (above)?
It’s Markus Nobs …
Surely destined for an SFA / SPFL gig .
As for Celtic calling out Sevco , Ranger’s,or whatever name they go with,I know one thing for sure,that mob will never die,as for my own Club,they will hope that something,or somebody,will eventually take them out,but not of a Celtic Persuasion,
Timbhoy2,
Rangers died. The Rangers are what happened after liquidation.
As long as people like you are prepared to accept the continuity myth, the huns will chuckle and whisper to each other about getting away with it.
Accept it. Rangers died.

Aw,Ffs,is he one of them ned Ajax hooligans?

Tammo the Ajax bammo?
DELANEYSDUNKY
Aye,good spot. He even sounds like a ned!
Sevco loan signing on the SSN yellow ticker, seriously, still think they are a big club…
Malone Bhoy 10:02
Agree about McInroy. Thought he was excellent.
Broke up play in front of the defence and got forward to support the attack.
Didn’t waste a ball.
Bada Bing – cheers for the tip about the game. Really enjoyed it.
!!BADA BING!!
We will have to sew a bigger pocket into Kieran’s shorts.
GO TELL THE SPARTIM on 22ND JULY 2018 1:12 PM
A couple of CHs lined up but no names. I hear we expect both Boyata and Jozo to move on. Brendan I hear was impressed with a CH that played against us for Anderlecht but can’t remember his name.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
FFin’ CAS, conspiracy and working groups:
“Surely the rank and file ‘non-OF’ supporters recognise the futile and profligate misuse of SFA cash reserves at play here?
Surely they will be exerting pressures on their respective club boards/Chairmen to have the SFA desist in this wasteful venture to harm a member club? They’ve coerced their clubs to act before and succeeded.
Surely they cannot stand by and watch funds that should be invested in improving our game being diverted because of an agenda that’s being driven by celtc resolution 12 campaigning moon howlers?
Surely they will be requesting their Club stands with Dave King in ridding the rot that has set in to our governing bodies?
Surely someone will back us up?
It’s a scandal that’s being accepted/ignored/encouraged by an entire cesspit of a country.”
————
“They are decades Infront of us mate. They are a well oiled machine, mobilised in seconds to quash celtc negativity and create Rangers bad in every corner of the internet, all over the planet.
Their dark web controls search engine output with over arching knowledge of the algorithms that drive the output on the internet.
They have posters that are established with massive post counts and contributors that are well respected in every football clubs forum up and down the country (for clarity – not for a minute am I suggesting this is the case on FF).
These posters have been demonising Rangers and feeding the hatred of our club for over a decade.”
————
“Some posters may recall in East Germany, one football team always got a helping hand when neeed. That team was Dynamo Berlin. This club was owned by the Stasi
Brings to mind another club based in the east of the city.”
————
“These f[ellows] need sacked, our governing bodies hunting us constantly. Where anywhere else does this happen. We as fans need to take them on, they are hindering our club and business which we pay good money too to watch our team.
That is exactly what the Fighting Fund is for. We should engage a lawyer and get professional advice on how the fans might be able to proceed, if at all.”
————
“The Fighting Fund… was to help with the operational costs of running the Club.
In any case, the money has now been committed to help fund the new changing room and facilities at Auchenhowie.”
————
“Haven’t Hummel taken over responsibility for the training centre now?”
————
“They sweetened the pot for the media to invent positive stories about them with the promise of exclusives but surely it’s illegal to actively encourage the media to invent Pish negative stuff about a rival club.”
————
“Fake News nearly killed our Club. We were responsible for destroying face painters and shutting down hospitals……and willingly defrauding every tax payer in the land.
All happening while a club…was winning the most ‘tainted titles’ in the history of football.
Hiding in plain sight is their mantra.”
————
“To quote frederick the great he who defends every thing defends nothing .we need to pick one target at a time.no scatter gun approach to this.we organise even if its only a small group of us to start with.with each success the group will grow and the infulance will spread..
But at the same time the club also need to do its part.
So whos up for it.”
————
“The best way of going about this group would be to monitor there lies from bloggs to mainstream media.for every lie and negative story,wee counter it with the truth”
————
“They created working groups made up by people who could all bring something to the table in the effort to make Celtic Scotland’s number one club and with it bringing down Rangers.”
————
“So when do you think these working groups started?”
————
“I know of one that’s been going since at least 2008/09, that’s when I found out about it, it could have been going longer, and I’m sure there will have been (and still are) others.”
————
“Then we need to fight fire with fire .there biggest advantage is that they are organised…
Until we organise ourselfs and start singing from the same hymn sheet then we will get nowhere.
Who we need to target are there palce men.get any influence thet have out of the sfa/spfl
The smaller clubs follow celtics lead as they look at them as being top dogs change that position and they ll fall into place.
But to acive any of this we need to organise.
Whos up for it.”
The Huns are like Lazarus, anyone that says otherwise,are living in Cuckoo land.
MONAGHAN1900
You can blame their blind bigotry for much of their mindset,but who do you blame for the shocking spelling?
Just as well we have Catholic schools,eh?
TIMBHOY2
Lazarus died too,mate. It just wasn’t deemed newsworthy at the time.
Monaghan
I agree with some of their points. The spelling and grammar is a riddy though.
Whilst huns were drinking,
Tims were thinking CSC
£35m for Jack Grealish,£65m for Harry Maguire.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/index.html
Shakes head.
Monkey hun…” there (sic) biggest advantage is that they are organised……………..until we organise ourselfs (sic)….blah blah blah.”
No mate……………. our biggest advantage is that we’re educated and much more intelligent.
No contest.
Watford striker Richarlison set for £50m move to Everton.
Scored five goals last season.

Who am I ?
I was offered the chance for a 1-2-1 with Peter Lawwell but declined.

Stormy Daniels??
;-))))
Who would win between……
£49 Rangers FC
Or,
£49 Sevco FC ?
Asking for a friend.
HH
what was the official attendance for the alashkert game ?
anyone got a link
Monaghan
Cheers, your copy n pastes from the dark side fair make me smile, am away to look up “Frederick the Great” maybe he could help solve our so-called defensive problems :-)
Man without a shadow refers to someone unable to store new experiences or to retrieve the old.
Seems wholly inappropriate.
And then they came for the Shareholders….
But I did not speak out…..
Because I was not a Shareholder
‘Knob of the week’ on ETims yesterday suggests they are none too bright and certainly not very loyal even to their own family.
Timbhoy
I was taught at school, church and home, that Lazarus was the brother of Mary and Martha, and Jesus’ uncle. Lazarus died when he was 30, and was brought back to life after 4 days by his nephew Jesus. He lived until he was 60. So if the huns are Lazarus, we only need to wait another 24 years till they are deid for good.
TIMBHOY2 – Liquidated 2012.
Insolvent.
Listen brother, I’m no financial expert but I googled the words, and it basically means that the old club is gone.
Finito, over, defunct.
Dead as the last dodo.
Administration was announced on Valentines day 2012, liquidation was Halloween 2012.
Halloween eh? How significant/ironic is that. The zombies began to creep forward. ?♂️
HH. ?
The huns make money for our club, in every carnation, they are the dafties that think they are a big club and as long as we keep beating them everyone is happy, especially our board. This is their punishment hence the club saying nothing. these good times are their death. suck it up huns and hangers on, you are only here to let us dance on your ashes. Long live the king and his brethern. The war is over, UEFA will do nothing, this is their punishment.
Hail Hail

Glad someone noticed how excellent McInroy was.
His pass to Henderson for our second was sublime and showed his vision and the one for the third was not to shabby either.
His movement was excellent as was the entire teams.
KEVINLASVEGAS
Had rules been applied properly,they wouldn’t even be around to claim their “history”
Everyone with the power to enforce those rules-which for sure would have,and have been,applied to every other club-shat themselves.
The minute Salmond referred to civil unrest,those basturts knew they would persevere. Friends in high places,aye.
And too many cowards elsewhere.

KLV 3.13pm
Everybody has their own opinion but can’t understand some who think the huns/sevs/Gers got away with it, the new Klub has never one a major trophy :-)
Long may that continue but even wee teams have their day in the Hampden sun we are very very lucky to witness these days
One should be won
I blame my schooling :-)
The new club thought that they were the same club as the old dead one.
Instant success the zombies ?♂️ demanded.
Supremacism.
Not realising that when they did defeat Timothy it was only due to cheating,that led ultimately to their own demise.
They even had the cheek to boast about their nefarious ways.
Good riddance to the dastardly cheats.
HH. ?
Monaghan1900,
“The infulance will spread…”!! rofl HH
Totally Agree Bobby, But for us as fans this will be as good as it gets. They have escaped the hang mans noose far too many times. I have no doubt that King will get his come up pence but the club will still be there in all it horrid glory. Just now the constant defeats and false sense of an old club will be enough to let these jokers soak in their pish. They were never anything without cheating and they will go back to that. I don’t want to hear about our club not spending, they are looking long term and investing the rest is just noise.

Yes the referees, they are the key to honesty and transparency, sort them and it’s sorted. During the huns niar, the smsm were all there is no competition in scotland and that’s how the huns were papped out of europe each season, when in reality they were papped out of europe because there was honest and fair referees in charge of their games
*not anymore now that the bonkle beelzebub has a say in them, it’s just their urine now.
