News that Dundee United will vote against allocating a place in next season’s SPL to Sevco confirms what we suggested yesterday, that sentiment has swung against the notion. Motherwell’s innovative idea of allowing fans (who have already expressed overwhelming opposition to the idea) a vote is further evidence that even hard-pressed clubs are prepared to make financially difficult decisions. Suggestions that the Motherwell board should grow a pair and take responsibility themselves have some merit.
Stewart Milne has denied BBC reports that Aberdeen have decided to vote against but I expect this is a matter of due process more than any genuine indecision.
There was a feeling this morning that matters could be brought to a head sooner than 4 July if enough clubs publicly declared against Sevco. This would suit Charles Green’s company as they would be able to prepare offers to Rangers players (who they are able to sign) knowing where they are likely to end up. If they are forced to wait until 4 July, Sevco will not know what squad requirements they will need for next season before making a decision on what Rangers players to offer employment to.
More than SPL football, Sevco need clarity. A rush to declare against them might seem harsh but it would be enormously beneficial rather than being forced to wait a further 12 days.

”Saw two so called Bears walking into McDonalds earlier. Taps on so obviously fans.
Waited outside and chinned them about the boycott. The fat one claimed he didn’t know. Doubt he gave a shit. Just wanted to feed his fat face.
The point of my story is to.remind us we boycott SPL sponsor scum.

Cheezus! took his life in hands getting between a paris bun and his supersized double half-pounder, fries, onion rings, chicken nuggets and diet fanta.
A boycott’s wan thing, but ah’m no a fanatic!!!
Spencey gives CQN a mention. I’m really getting to like his style.

Do we want to start re-writing the Mowbray era as one defined by dodgy refereeing as opposed to dodgy management (taking off N’Guemo for Ki at Pittodrie thus surrendering the midfield and the game)?
It was obvious to anybody that saw Tony manage in England before coming to Parkhead that he had absolutely no managerial skill. He lacked oomph, punch, enthusiasm or even annoyance. He rarely reacted on the touchline never mind do a Lenny. How can you motivate with that approach. Every interview he did was ‘our fault, need to do better’. No, sometimes that is not so. Sometimes you have been DONE and don’t we know it. By the way he dragged West Brom back into the Championship with his ‘classy fitba’. As for his current record at Middlesbrough, the less said the better though I fear by the end of the season coming the fans will have a heck of a lot to say. I cringed beyond cringability (well Paul makes them up too) when i heard Celtic had him. I predicted total disaster and if we are totally honest that is what that season was. I know many who thought it could be years before we recovered but little did we know that Hector was looking to play at Ibrox the following year. By the way, and do mean this, I think Tony is a great GUY and have all the time in the world for him especially after the way he dealt with his wife – exemplary. But honesty demands that he is a hopeless manger. Perhaps he is ideal for an assistant or coach but running the show is so not his forte.

Don’t know who the ‘journalist’ is on BBC, but he clearly used to be a Rangers supporter.
Two words only to describe the hun… Neanderthal and hubristic
You know, in a world with strong minded independent journalists….
Well anyway, someone should really take the obese Paul LeGuen to task on his latest bathos laden opus.
The cult of himself continues.
‘The players would be playing for the same club – Rangers – in front of the same fans.’
Ehmm, excuse me chubbalicious, but, NAW THEY WIDNAE!!!
‘At all times during my first year as manager, I strived to show players respect and in return would have hoped they would have shown me, and more importantly the club, respect by notifying us of their intentions before making it known elsewhere.’
Ehmm, just hold on there a goldarned minute Chubby Chubbington, could you maybe decide what that paragraph is all about – Is it – You, Your first year as manager, You striving (Which indicates non completion), respect, respect shown, respect being returned, the expectation of respect, the expectation of the return of respect, you again, but more importantly the club, respect, notification of intentions, declaring intentions elsewhere…?
“If players want to leave and play somewhere else then they should be honest with the Rangers supporters.”
Oh make your mind up Lard Lover – they can do that by going to the press.
Bain was lot better at the triumphalist mince your lot usually came out with – and that is me saying something there.
Ally, you are without doubt one of the daftest, dumbest, class-bereft, mouthpieces it has been my misfortune to come across.
I give you – Craig Whyte has a plan for everything.
I give you – I’ve spoken to Bill Miller twice now on conference call and I like what he’s got to say.
I give you – leaving Ibrox with Dave King
I give you – Getting a visit from Mister Sir David (Ah wis duped ah tell thee!) Murray at your old club’s training ground.
I give you – they’ll have to sack me, when there’s a sniff of Uncle Wattie hanging about.
Your a big, daft, unintelligent foghorn – you’re the fellow at the front of the band twirling the stick too pre-occupied to see the band took a right turn three or four streets ago.
A Question Of Sporting Integrity?
And you’re calling your players out in the street, your cowardly wretch…
Your club, and your old club, have they manager they’ve always deserved and the future you’ve all strived so hard to attain…
Enjoy.

Whats upsetting ally now??
After the talks with Green, McCoist said: ‘I’ve reassessed my position and taken a step back from the brink. As things stand at the moment I am still manager.’
Not so long since McCoist was on the verge of walking away. I do not recall him talking it over with the players.
wee hun, big hun

wee brain, big Richard
“big football institution” ……. Hello, they don’t exist any more …… They are go-oone ……. ,!!!!!!
3 things I remember about BTM’s season.
One was how depressed he looked from early on. I had always thought of him berfore as a can-do, up-for-it guy.
Celtic seemed to hit the woodwork more than they scored. Can’t really blame that on anybody.
The Ibrox game where Broony was sent off and Robbie Keane kicked from pillar to post. I don’t think the MIB needed to cheat so much as Rangers were already sure to win the league. Maybe they wanted to keep in practice.

It is amazing, and concerning, the images that wee word evokes.
Mcmoist is useless please keep him!!!
Can anyone tell me the name of the guest on Sportsound just now, alongside Shortbread’s resident expert in sectarian singing, Rob McLean, and Jim Spence …?

As Scotland is part of Europe, this season ‘No Huns in Europe’ will be correct for once.
So Duff & Duffer issued a statement saying amongst other things…
“Since the BBC documentary we have met Mr Roger Isaacs who appeared on the programme and was asked for his professional opinion as a forensic accountant.
“Mr Isaacs informed us that he was not shown relevant documentation by the BBC and now, having reviewed the documentation, has told us that he is satisfied that our firm did not have knowledge of Ticketus funding being used to acquire Rangers in 2011, prior to the transaction being completed.
“We are also co-operating fully with the investigation announced by the Insolvency Practitioners Association and we look forward to that inquiry been concluded as soon as possible.
“We have also referred the BBC allegations to our solicitors.”
However a letter from Mr Issacs has just been read out on BBC rubbishing their claims………Nice!

Splendid stuff.

And has he talked over with the players the proposed transfer of their contracts from The Huns to Sevco?

Don’t wish to be pedantic, ulysses, and with a name like yours, I most certainly do not want to challenge you, but maybe we can talk of his ‘old club’ but he ain’t got any club at the moment. Newco, peuko, sucko sedocu do not as yet exist as a football club. Sevco blah, blah, blah…..are a company trying to set up a football club but as yet have not managed to do so in spite ‘Bonnie Prince Charlie’s’ claims to have ‘The’! Just a wee bit of clarity. I didn’t want anyone pulling you up about it. Ta, ta – ma da’s bigger than your da mind!

Dougie Alexander??
perhaps he would’ve made a better coach but running the show was not his forte.
I suppose a hun told you that about Tommy Burns too,I’ve heard it often enough.
The WBA fans wanted to keep Mowbray after relegation as they could see he needed time,very unfair to paint the ghuy as never showing emotion in his career or at Celtic.
regardless of what happened elsewhere I still contend,all things considered,Mowbray would have done his job at Celtic.
I was never his biggest fan but it should be recognised he was one of the biggest victims of the fraud in Scottish football.
last word on it.

Rangers? Who they?
Jude – exactly !!!
they are brown bread = dead
Oh Alastair, finding it hard to let go of the past it seems?
Your pathetic attempt at pretending Sevco is Rangers is fooling no one ya fat pie.
Has anyone asked all these so-called experts, would we be having this debate if it was any other club in Scotland?
I don’t mean, would there be a debate if it was Celtic, I mean ANY other club.
All of this stuff is just because it is THEM.
Last night during my pre bed trawl of Newsnow, I came upon an article headed below.
It concerned charges against a priest in America.
I contacted the site and their reply is below my questions.
I have acknowledged this and asked who is the Michael Miller who plays for Celtic.
ttt.
“New Charges for Berlin Priest NBC Connecticut 01:35”
Why was this item posted on a Newsnow Celtic page?
What was the motivation of the person who did this?
Dear thomthethim,
Thank you for your feedback. We have now removed this article from the Celtic page. Our system is highly automated, and unfortunately confused the references to the priest Michael Miller with the Celtic team player of the same name. This is an unfortunate technical error, and we will be looking at how we can prevent it from happening again. I’d like to thank you for your understanding.
Kind regards

Thanks, Roy.
Whoever he is, his grasp of reality is ‘somewhat lacking’.
‘Clutching at straws’ would just about describe it.
Like many MSM journos over the last couple of days, he seems eager to support the assertion that Green’s Newco will have little problem securing a place in the SFL.
Can’t see it myself …
On 4 July, if the SPL chairmen vote the way it seems they will and knock back the Newco, I think the pressure felt by their SPL counterparts will simply transfer to the SFL chairs with a similar outcome being my forecast …
