Do you like our new lightweight template? There’s a lot less green and tons more whyte. Like it or not, the whyte template will be here for a wee while, so try to enjoy it.
Ticket arrangements for our game at Ibrox next month were always going to be tasty. With rumour that Rangers were heading for administration, Celtic refused to forward their rivals tickets for the game on 28 December on credit, demanding payment in advance. Rangers found the money after a failed appeal to the better nature of the Celtic board. This proved to be a wise move as only a few weeks later Rangers were in administration leaving a trail of unpaid debts to other clubs in their wake, but an awkward situation was likely to follow with Rangers (in administration) looking to reciprocate with payment terms.
Celtic are good for the credit, but if they pay for tickets, what’s the chance Rangers will survive long enough to fulfil the fixture?
None of us are in a position to tell, but Celtic cannot sell tickets to their own supporters in the chance that Rangers will not honour them. If Rangers are still in business, I expect a busy few days leading up to the fixture as cash and tickets are transferred.
And to think we’ve listened to all the ‘Old Firm conspiracy’ theories all these years….. didn’t turn out that way after all.
Really pleased to see STV picked up on our story of last week on the potential improper registration of players and managed to get an anonymous quote from the SFA suggesting “that if conclusive evidence can be produced, the Scottish FA could launch a wider investigation into the conduct of the club”.
“Could”! This story has now been reported by several mainstream media outlets. It looks like the SFA will have to be dragged into examining this by Uefa. Embarrassingly, they are likely to conclude an inquiry into Rangers next week without reference to the 10,000lb gorilla (as No Surrender Johnston would say) in the room.
There are now serious questions of corporate governance at the association, something the chief exec was keen to avoid. If the SFA do initiate an inquiry into the multiple contract allegation, they should start by asking some of the guys who have arrived at Ibrox from continental Europe. I hear Joachim Bjorklund, a decent defender who signed his only Rangers contract in 1996, is still working in the game.

I’ve posted on this a number of times after games, especially after the games agin the Administrators’ Eleven. Itr makes such a difference to focus on the ball! Even last Saturday, the players made it clear to the Man-in-the-middle that they weren’t happy with their colleagues getting kicked stupid and putting pressure on him to do something. Until the Stephen McLean debacle a couple of weeks ago I actually thought the worst of the crap, biased refereeing was behind us.

Its brilliant but remember and take rest breaks! Very addictive, very funny.
Jobo.
I got season 3 off of eBay.
Djbee. You can’t get season 4 legally yet. I think in march it’s released in Australia. You’ll be able to get it on eBay after that.
Another terrific piece by you Vogue. Really splendid.
It’s surely only a matter of time before the Washington Post calls.

I’d say after 45 years she knows exactly what she’s doing! Have you been leaving the toilet seat up or snoring at night?

That’s what i was wondering about, i think Celtic complained (to SFA, police?) about it.
Re LC final tickets.
Thanks for the replies regarding the sections being sold one at a time. You are correct!
To be honest, I’ve had a bee in my bonnet about the corporate tickets, and I was looking for an excuse to find a way of attacking it. I know they need the money, but where are the ‘corporate’ fans every other week???

It’s like ‘Green Toothbrushes Anonymous’ on here tonight!

I just put my teeth into a Celtic mug.
Still trying to find green cleaner though, they all have a bloo tint to them :<(
Was it some evil hun voodoo what caused it?
There are plenty of nazi like black magicians on the dark side. I know from bitter experience. One of them stole my good jacket years ago and used it in a necrological ritual- i had a hun hex put on me just before they won 3in a row. I personally blame that curse for those fallow years…
Or was it just a virus?
Cheers Honest
Looks like March could be a very interesting month

In that same season, 2000/2001, Dun. Utd. put the orcs out of the Scottish Cup…another Omen!
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

I get caught up pretty quick if I like stuff. Watched 5 seasons of dexter in last 12 weeks!
Djbee.
I lie, you can get season 4 from the states
DJBEE / The Honest Mistake –
I thought that DVDs will only play here if they’re ‘released’ here or am I completely off the mark? Dying to obtain Season 3 after watching Seasons 1 and 2 in the space of 3 weeks.
Jobo
Bada you know I will never forgive you,for

One other thing,i,m near certain that duffandphelps is an anagram of hunskelpers.Well near enough,although i do know that near enough never bucked the goat. HH Beckerfagancsc
Breaking bad season 4.
£40 on eBay.
Think I’ll wait a few months for the price to come down.
Anyhoo – has anyone heard from the SFA regarding the involvement of politicians in Scottish fitba affairs or indeed from them on the SFA inquiry?
I know I haven’t.
These people only respond to being put under pressure. I know it from my Union activities when dealing with management types you have to be a persistent pain in the neck. You don’t need to be rude, you don’t need to shout (most of the time) you just need to keep at them and keep at them and keep at them. Ask the right questions. When they make out that your questions are stupid ask them some more and ask the same thing in a different way. Make clear you are also asking others the same questions and that others know they haven’t answered them. Find someone they work with that they have issues with and let them know subtly that you can’t get answers from his colleague – professional rivalries among these people are a very handy tool! Pressure is all they respond to and it gets results.
I urge you all to apply some to Regan and co.
SFFS – It’s Season 3 I need first ;-)
Jobo
Onfanti, glad you enjoyed season4 of BB. stunning is the word to describe it.
SffS
If anyone gets season 4 from states try it on your computer. My laptop lets me change the viewing region 5 times before it locks.
And what’s this about Jocky Bjorkland?
Was he one of the first to ‘benefit’??
Paul, on 2nd thoughts, I think the posters’ names are wee bit too small for my old eyes ( a 1949’er)!!
Hail Hail

Jobo. Depends if your DVD player is a multiple region player.
Thanks the ever loving lord!
You’re back!
Anyone getting (ww.searchnu.com/406) (I’ve left out a w at the beginning) coming up on their search engines?
Don’t know how it has latched itself on as default search engine for IE, Chrome and Firefox. I’ve managed to change the default on IE but not the others.
Could this be due to the problems yesterday?
JOBO
I got season 2 on Amazon for a tenner (sale) but season 3 was £18 i think
Worth every penny

Scene in Breaking Bad that I just can’t get out of my head is this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhPeAekdnfk
BB vets will know what I mean when I say that one was chilling! And for any newbies to BB, that scene alone should get you watching it from the start to see just how it comes to that!
Ha!
