Scottish football against corruption

1216

The world looked so different for Scottish Football League chief executive, David Longmuir, back in March.  He convinced half of the member clubs to reject a deal which would earn them considerably more money next season, while enjoying the accolades of Rangers International chief exec, Charles Green.

Green remains a controlling director of Rangers International, but Longmuir’s actions infuriated First Division clubs, who have now applied to join the SPL, furious at his attempts to subvert them earning what many see as crucial income next season.

To suggest Longmuir acted in the interests of one Third Division club to the considerable detriment of all First Division clubs would be stating the obvious.  These shenanigans still go on in Scottish football, even now, after all that happened last year, but it is reassuring that the overwhelming majority of voices have, again, said, ‘On your (boardroom) bike’.  We are rapidly becoming one of the least corrupt countries football is played in the world.  Good luck to all in the First Division.

I read the leaked document, Rangers (sic): the way forward, yesterday afternoon.  It was so ludicrously lacking in anything which remotely resembled substance I assumed the leak was an attempt to discredit Charles Green.  Then I heard BBC’s Chris McLaughlin say it was Green himself behind the leak.  The fact that the Rangers International director categorically recognised the club is lumbered with a lame manager hardly passes for insight. The document was embarrassingly inept.

“The team will work for each other and press the opponents when not in possession.

“Most of all, players will come off the park knowing that they have done their best.”

In a high-level policy document this is cringeworthy.

    True story.

     

     

    The guy that does the in-house /directors catering at Cowdenbeath FC told that it would bother him if The Rangers swallowed up his club.

     

     

    He said ” We were called Cowdenbeath Rangers to start with.”

     

     

    There are no words.

    The chapel will have wifi and the weans will have smart phones.

     

    Sounds as if you are still living in the biblical ages, worrying about printers.

    As I said,not trying to start an argument.

     

     

    However that has to be the worst analogy in a long time

     

     

    I did not suggest that Tommy is demeaned by their presence-in fact if anything I believe Smith and Sally gained undeserved kudos.

     

     

    And I very much doubt I need a lesson in Christianity from either,thank you…..

    Love the young Didia Agath at about 4.20 just kicking the ball ahead and running with no apparent purpose to no real destination (game against Ajax excepted if course)

  9. Somebody help me!!

     

     

    I’ve never liked roasted cheese,

     

    i don’t even like toast,

     

    give me a plain outsider with square sausage (steak) and red sauce.

     

     

    Am i banned from the blog?

  10. The best toasted cheese

     

    Plain bread, red cheese, salt and pepper

     

    and a touch of worcester sauce.

     

    It’s all in the timing of toasting the cheese imo.

    imho Tommy was a giant among men

     

    who saw the goodness in everyone he met.

     

    WS and AM have to live with themselves.

     

    They will be lucky to be half the man that

     

    Tommy Burns was.

     

    A great human being.

    Toasted cheese:

     

    Plain bread ( outsider preferably )

     

    Toast one side

     

    Apply white mature cheddar on other side ( make sure no bread is visible )

     

    Toast until cheese starts to melt

     

    Take from grill, apply Worcester sauce.

     

    Put back under grill until cheese starts to bubble and reaches the perfect temperature for roof of the mouth burning.

     

    Remove from grill, apply black pepper from a grinder.

     

    Eat

     

     

    Top tip 1 : cut more cheese than is required, whilst your cheese bread combo is toasting, eat extra cheese.

     

    Top tip 2 : ( for lurking Huns ) do not do the above in a toaster!!
