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.

Aye they’re running out of possibilities of a “real rangers man(boak) riding in on a big white horse, 50 mil is a lot of money to chuck down a stank for any orc…
It’s with a great sense of disappointment that we wave Charles Green away Fon RFC… Who knows what damage he may have caused had he been able to deliver a few more ‘Charles Green Promises’.. The strategic document sounds hilarious.. On the upside he has left McCoist in charge … Oooft!
As a successful businessman I sometimes wonder what Dermot Desmond thinks of the hun ways of running a business.
Murray is to blame for their mess. Had he kept things at least on an even keel, meaning far less league titles, fancy dan players etc. then Whyte and Green wouldn’t have happened.

Wow!! Delusion of the highest order!
In relation to your use of the word anthropology. What would an equivalent study of the Sevconians be? Sevcopology? Now that would be a mind boggling analysis…

They’re an odd bunch.
They really hate Linfield for their Super-Prod Shankill Road swagger though they are no Fenian lovers either. The Famine Song was written by one of their number
EDB – totally correct re our secret weapon, Sir Minty Moonbeams!
Even after it was revealed that he was the biggest EBT recipient, on top of his companies filtering £4M per season, the stupid stupid Orcs still don’t believe that he was a con man.
Stupid stupid Orcs!

Talking about the EBT’s , has any of the recipient’s said when they will pay them back ?

They’ve been told if they’re not paid back shortly their membership to the super casino will be held back, and they won’t be allowed to swim with the dolphins in the pool of the 7* hotel either.

I have only posted 3 times on the site as you guys have it all covered. But I think you have got this 100% absolutely right and thank you sir for bringing this to the site. That is exactly what Tommy and his family stood for and as much as the young pretender and his sponsor were not fit and proper humans to to carry oor Tommy, it was a sacrifice at the end. Well said you sir.
The decision of Tommy Burns’ family to include Ally & Wattie in the funeral was an example of true Christianity.
It was Christ-like.
It showed what the essence of these truly Christian people is.
The subsequent actions of the recipients of such generosity of spirit should not in any way deflect from the magnificence of the gesture.
Tommy was not ‘THE PEEPUL’.
Tommy was genuinely a man OF the people.
Huge difference.

You would like to think that the BBC might just use this juncture to rethink its policy of being the publicly funded wing of the new club’s communication department. The cross hiring from other media cannot possibly be justified either under the BBC Charter. I don’t think cheerleaders are mentioned in there.

There’s more chance of the EBT’s being repaid than one of the Zombies winning the crossbar challenge .
( I think )
Tooting Tim
Brilliant! But would even a hippo try to eat a whole one?
palacio67
Hear the guy didn’t even hit the 6 yard line!
Next year’s comp – hit the crossbar and get an all expenses paid trip to one of their European away games – only problem is that the contestant needs to hit the crossbar at the away ground in order to get his return flight back. :-)
