The SFA today confirmed that they have been able to confirm Paul Murray Fit and Proper to run a football club. After Mr Murray’s previous tenure as a football club director, I’m absolutely delighted he will again be working his magic. At Ibrox.
The SFA Professional Game Board specifically considered Murray’s “intentions as a Director to avoid a repetition of the mistakes of the past”, which presumably involved some kind of commitment to keep his new club spending within its income parameters. This will be a challenge.
Some will be surprised that Murray has been given the green light, specifically after the opinion Lord Nimmo Smith expressed on directors of Rangers (in liquidation), but I’m happy this conclusion was arrived at correctly.
I searched and searched the SFA statement for news on ‘Glib and Shameless’, but they’ve clearly been unable to accept whatever assurances he’s been able to provide them, so far. Few will be surprised at this.
There’s a fine line between legitimate sporting rivalry and over-stepping the mark; the John Guidetti case illustrates this. If during a TV interview John had said Rangers (sic) are “an embarrassment of a football company”, he may have legitimacy on his side, but it’s rude to say so.
Anyone saying this on TV about any club would be asked not to by the SFA. The Association clearly believe whole “dead huns” thing falls into the same category, and have asked John to desist from such comment on TV in future, without censure.
You can’t offend the dead!
Fair enough.
I’m in a good mood, it’s as though we’re going to win the league, or something.

I do mate. Don’t know him well but know who he is.
……..
Used to work with him for short period in JBE.
Still think I might know you..;-)
In between slabbering over the thought of the fight tomorrow night,and the Hoops game tonight,I have just popped on to say a big thank you to the SFA for letting Mini Murray stay in charge of the Huns.Our gratitude should show no bounds.If you dont believe me,go onto the Hun Media,see what they think of Mini.An absolute buffoon of a man,full of wind and empty promises.
The future is looking brighter by the minute.Anyway,on to more serious stuff.A good win,(1-0)will do me tonight,but a show for the ,hopefully large attendance,would be nice.
Onto the fight.I got 6-1 on Manny winning on points.Going by the number of punches he lands,and avoiding being knocked out,I think this is a bumper bet.On the downside,I regard Mayweather as one of the greats.As is Manny.
Drooling.

I’m looking for a dodgy sausage for this evening. I owe Rupert murdoch some lost revenue.
Sky ditched.
When in trouble,I have always found a “Front Row”seat the most advisable.Providing you have the proper “Utensils”that they ask for,the service is quite good.

There’s a fair chance. If ye know some Drum Bhoys. I have been a permanent fixture for many a year.

Definitely a joint podium
Offski to the boozer to watch the champs and probably argue in a good way about everything Celtic, if I appear back around midnight please scroll by if you dont already do, enjoy the game fellow hoops fans we honestly don’t realise how lucky we are
Hail Hail
Good Evening.
I recall that when Bob Champion and Aldiniti won the Grand National my old Grandfather said that going by the form book both the jockey and the horse should be dead!
Given that the SFA have seen fit to approve Mr Paul Murray – a man who has admitted that he has no personal money to invest in The Rangers International Football Club PLC, or any of its subsidieries, and who was severely criticised by Lord Nimmo Smith but who promises that there will be no repeat of his past failings as a non executive Director ( such as failing to ask for legal advice, faiing to ensure the company lived within its means, failed to insure that co directors did not lie to HMRC about the existence of documents, failed to ensure that the tax returns submitted to the revenue were accurate and so on ) and so everyone down Ibrox way can sleep soundly in their bed tonight knowing that at long last they have a proper professional at the helm.
This is good news. It is news worth rejoicing at and we can all look forward to Mr Murray taking brave steps, making brave decisions, and not just sitting there in his blazer, tie and brogues with a big grin on his face because he has a seat in the box.
Oh no.
Mr Murray will look at the books, spot the available cash, operate a budget properly and be an agent of innovation and change as they say in management land.
However, back to my old Grandad.
He contacted me from heaven by way of a medium and advised that he too had a look at the club concerned, has studied its books and now considered the track record of the newly approved Chairman.
Apparently, he has reached a conclusion which I think is in keeping with the thoughts of most sensible people.
It is best summed up here:

Good evening CQN, just back from the balik ekmek boat full as a puggy, i had 2 tonight :))
Few early tourists about the place, internet speed as fast as a bullet the night, so CTV should be shooty-in.

Herbo,
Hahaha.
My recollections of Drum Bhoys are not favourable ..
Bully boys on the train who got their comeuppance all the time.
You’ll definitely know who I am on about..

I collected my new car yesterday, chuffed…went out this morning and birds shit all over it, I’m not sure if that is goodluck:((
That will be Caesar denied food until he wipes the birds out :)
Could be classed as good luck,but not in my case,as the “Bird”that done the dirty on my brand new Z4 was a gorgeous,5ft 9 blonde.
Oh ,I was black affronted when a neighbour reported it to me.
As the Angelus bells ring out over Doire..
Ave Maria.
Re Sausages, recently I have changed my supplier to Iraq, Goals there are easier to come by.

mike in toronto…
If the huns don’t get promoted I wouldn’t be surprised if the goalposts are moved to accommodate them.
I know there is rules in stat that says it can’t happen, nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to them. Ie…murray being found fit and proper!
Have they even paid the fines from the sfa?
Still, it’s good taking the piss out of them in a daily manner:))
What goalposts will be moved?.Stop thinking the worst when it is pure nonsense.Yes,there might be league reconstruction,but it wont be be for three years.
Please,enough.Dont encourage the idiots.
Is the match on TV?

For the poster with my favourite blog name, a song I used to sing regularly many years ago. I must resurrect it at the next session.
I had a true love if ever a girl had one
I had a true love a brave lad was he
And one fine Easter Monday with his gallant comrades
He started away for to make Ireland free
Chorus
So all around me hat I wear a tricolour ribbon
All around me hat untill death comes to me
And if anybody’s asking why do I wear it
It’s all for my own true love I never more will see.
He whispered goodbye love old Ireland is calling
High over Dublin our tricolour flies
In the streets of our city the foeman is calling
The wee birds are whistling old Ireland arise
His bandolier around him his bright bayonet shining
His short service rifle a beauty to see
There was joy in his eyes though he left me repining
And started away for to make Ireland free
In praying and waiting the dark days passed over
The roar of the guns brought no message to me
I prayed for old Ireland I prayed for my lover
That he might be saved and old Ireland be free
The struggle was ended they brought me the story
The last whispered message he sent on to me
I was true to the land love I fought for her glory
And gave up my life for to make Ireland free.

And that french and italian delicacy.. trojan horses :)
OK I’m off for an Indian, think I’ll have a stuffed pepper followed by Chiken Tika Masalla back home in time for the game. Recored as a saftey measure in case of delay.
Robert Tressell—everybody I know who likes sport would love a VIP seat in the first row. Still at the painting?
To put the significance of what may happen to tomorrow in perspective:-
Celtic last won 4 in a row in 1969 when this bouncing baby landed in Linthouse.
Don’t think we are bigging this up enough. 4 in a row is huge!
I clicked on one them illegal links once :))) computer went into meltdown !
All sort of things popping up everywhere, and finally when the picture came on it froze every 5 seconds.

The Scottish Professional Football League will refuse to let Rangers to allow their season ticket holders in for free to the Premiership play-offs.
STV understands the league’s board have taken the stance that the clubs must abide by rules, which the SPFL believes prevents free admission being given.
