SFL is over but still busy times

921

The Scottish Football League programme is now finished with only play-offs still to complete but there is still a great deal of business to complete.  The remarkable persistence of First Division clubs to find a financial model which will allow them to retain full time football shows no sign of ending, despite the difficulties presented from a couple of quarters.

Meanwhile the Third Division champions have even more pressing matters.  They have now finished their league programme and can now officially be told what they have perhaps unofficially suspected for some weeks.  Charles Green has agreed to remain a director until the end of this month.  Before he goes the ownership of Ibrox, as well as the appropriateness of the club’s IPO in December, will need to be established.  They have a three week window but nothing happens until the lawyers report, which I expect this week.

It was two years ago today Sir David Murray took a £1 payment and relieved himself of outstanding commitments to Lloyds Banking Group, the legacy of his time at Rangers.  The support Craig Whyte received at critical times in the months which followed was breath-taking.  Every hack, side-kick, and numpty ‘fan’ who told the rest to set aside all common sense deserve a medal for what they did to that club.

They don’t even understand the mock-worship Celtic fans offer Whyte is a parody on where they were 2011-12.

    Who gives?

     

     

    The Cup those Legneds couldn’t win.is.being won by us on their other channel!

     

     

    Booooo! Penalty to Inter!

  2. Happy Birthday Paul.

     

    Having a schooner of X!XX in sunny Brisbane to send you a toast through

     

    the ether.

     

    Remember that birthdays are good for you – statistics prove that the more you have,

     

    the longer you live!

     

     

    Hail! Hail!

  3. Nacho Novo and Legend in the same sentence?

     

     

    The word Legend obviously shrinks with the passage of time at roughly the same speed as their share price!

    Agree. And Gemmell not much of a threat going forward. Tell him to stay back in the 2nd half.

     

     

    D’oh!!!!

    A birthday treat for Paul67

     

     

    Just starting on ESPN Classic

     

     

    Inter v Celtic 1967

     

     

    They must have known, Paul!

    How refreshing is it NOT to here Burley and his absurd comments during a Celtic game on ESPN!

     

     

    I’m the heat of Lisbon….

     

     

    …. Also how much does Jinkys fast school bhoy like football remind you of Aiden McGeady?

     

     

    I hope one day Aiden returns to paradise.

  6. Happy birthday Paul67, and thanks for the site.My eldest lad’s birthday was last Saturday. Mine is 21st. I don’t know if I’m Taurus or Gemini. Bit like Sevco really–they don’t know either.

    Or I can take that twenty minute trip from Euston-I’ll have a zone card anyway.

     

     

    Your call and no rush as meeting up ain’t a problem some other time if you prefer.

     

     

    Mail me if you get a chance on

    Cheers,bud.

    Just looking at the Keech Jacksie piece in the DR where completely without irony he says: “MAYBE one day we’ll look back and laugh at ourselves. Hopefully, in the distant future, we’ll reflect on season 2012/13 and wonder how on earth we managed to get into such a state.

     

     

    ——–

     

    And then:

     

    “Seriously, take a step back and look at the carnage that has been created around us. But be warned, it’s not pretty. In fact, it may make some feel utterly ashamed.”

     

     

    From the man who gave us: ‘billionaire, whose wealth is off the scale’ and who tirelessly harped on about a ‘successful share issue’ until very recently.

     

     

    ———-

     

    Follow followed by:

     

    “Yesterday, for example, we offered the watching world Kilmarnock versus Hibs … And doesn’t that just say it all about this game of ours and this utter abomination of a campaign?”

     

     

    No. It speaks volumes for the people who cover Scottish football though. In fairness to the TV company, they couldn’t expect Sevco to play two games this weekend.

    The Boy Jinky/Bobby Murdoch

     

     

    I sit in 111 and could unfortunately see not just the incident unfolding but hear the disgraceful chanting of the Hearts fans. Pretty disturbing experience for everyone nearby I imagine. I personally had never seen something like that happen at the football before and was pretty shocked.

     

     

    Its funny how there are never any microphones or SFA/SPL reps in the stands at times such as that.

     

     

    HAIL HAIL

    Aye, ESPN without Burley, how refreshing indeed.

     

     

    Commentary team of Kenneth Wolstenholme and Archie MacPherson probably the best ever on TV.

     

     

    Always thought a Celtic match on telltale with an English commentator lends it a touch more gravitas than some Cabbage headed Scottish buffoon, Archie excepted.

    Mr S of T received a text telling her the news ,.

     

     

    She opened a bottle of Prosecco , poured herself a glass and said .–

     

     

    Ciao Belzebu .

     

     

    Il Divo is a mighty fine film.

    Mine is also the 21st ,we are Taurus,take my word for it.

     

    Happy Birthday Paul 67 all the best people are born in the lovely month of May.

  13. New proverb coined by the Orcs on hearing rumours of a possible new ‘saviour’.

     

     

    Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me!

     

     

    Fool me three times, Follow, Follow. . . . . .

     

     

    Hail! Hail!

    Sure if you’re in London that night I can make the effort to hook up to watch the game on the telly somewhere.

     

     

    I’ll drop you an email nearer the time.

  15. fanad–if we’re Taurus how come Mrs Ghadaffi tells me I’m like a different person when Celtic are on the box? She says you wouldn’t hear language like it inn a brothel. Mind you, I don’t know how she knows that.

    It was shocking,mate.

     

     

    The emergency services did a blinding job-as did the stewards btw-but a fair amount of disquiet at the reaction of the minibus-load of minihuns who were there.

     

     

    Next time yer to the right of the GB-insert joke of your choice- as you look at the game,just look fora white haired fella and two dark haired lasses in their forties hurling abuse at the officials

     

     

    That will be my lot ……

    Paul67, Birthday wishes

     

     

    tim Horton, you in Mississauga? I lived there for ages… we may have crossed paths, or know some of the same people

     

     

    Torontony, did I miss your birthday? Belated birthday wishes… I’m buying tomorrow.

    TORONTONY

     

     

    Enjoy your celebrations.

     

     

    I think I’ll just ignore mine this year…..

  19. Thinking about the killie fan who sadly passed away at the match yesterday.

     

     

    I totally agree that the match should be stopped … just wondering why ours wasnt stopped a couple of seasons back when we played the hertz at celtic park

     

     

    The paramedics were working on the guy in section 112 … the fans were silent and focused on the battle to save the guy.

     

     

    Play went on regardless .. oh … and those nice fans from Gorgie spat their disgraceful wishes to the poor guy

     

    ……………..

     

    I remember it well, the bhoy was in 110 right next to where Daniel and I were seated, the hertz support were at their ugly worst that night.

    Andreotti dead?

    Hit & run off Craigton Rd on Saturday after Rangers game. I’m hearing a man has been charged with murder. Coverage of this strangely quiet.

    Or was that a city cash make:-)

    2-1 to the Lions

     

    I wonder will Lady Mac let me tear up a nice new pillow case and with the aid of a couple of fat school crayons (remember them?) fashion a home-made tri colour and run round the district like a maniac just as my old ma did 46years ago?
