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.

SPFL to reject Rangers’ free season ticket play-off entry plan

The Scottish Professional Football League will tell Rangers they will not permit them to let Ibrox season ticket holders into the play-offs for free.
Rangers and Motherwell have both stated their intention to follow Hibs’ lead from their home play-off last season.
Championship Rangers believe that has set a precedent, meaning they cannot be punished for taking a similar stance.
With 50% of gate money from each play-off game due to the SPFL, up to three home ties at Ibrox would generate hundreds of thousands of pounds to be shared out among all member clubs.

I wonder what they could do to stop them letting SB holders in for rock-all?
Fine them ……………well they’ve tried that one and it didn’t work :)
BGFC: Condolences to you on the death of your mother
Power in a union – Billy Bragg on the ipod right now, on May Day, great timing!
Zero hour contracts, tory government, Scottish splitters, how we need Billy’s energy now
Ballsy move by Ed last night. Might flip enough seats on England to win a majority.
The smugness of the SNP is a big turn off in England. If Ed had cosied up to Nicola, the Tories were in.
Clever man
Keep the red flag flying
Just back in and scrolled back.

This could get interesting. The new huns have been used to getting things their own way, just like the old version.
I’ve still not decided labour/snp btw.
