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.

    If CQN had been around in ’67 ….

     

     

    Those strikers were hiding for much of the match. And what did Johnstone contribute? Stein should have hooked him at half time.

    good comments, but no subs in 67.

    Willie Wallace was one of two small, centre-forwards who always gave Billy McNeill a very hard time.

     

    _________

     

     

    Remember Joe McBride giving big Billy a roasting at Easter Road (mid-week) – think he scored both in a 2-1 win. :-(

    Rather than Gordon Wallace, I always fancied Jockie Scott of Dundee. Wee, quick centre-forwards frequently gave Billy a hard time. Joe McBride also fell into that category.

    was the twelfth man thing , not a goalie only option in those days ?

     

     

    i mean, if it wasnt Internazionale could have brought on their 2nd goalkeeper and played both in goals, still wouldnt have stopped gemmells shot.

    We can laugh now…they will be back and unless we bury them now. thems will become a force to deal with.

    I think its the same one.

     

    fathers name is john who I am good friends with also his uncle jim.

     

    were you over for kevin sisters wedding?

  18. My favourite Willie Wallace memory was him running on to a Tommy Gemmel blooter up the park to slot the ball home v Dukla Prague in 1967 semi final.

     

     

    It sticks out because ma da had shouted ” blooter it Tommy” as the ball reached Gemmel and thereafter claimed credit for that goal.

     

     

    Is that in the book? Dukla Prague- My Part In Their Downfall by Auldheid’s auldman?

     

     

    Another memory is his answer on a BBC sportsquiz that a Garry Own was a Daily Record tipster. Well he was but the answer had more to do with rugby than horse racing. Is that why he emigrated? :)

    Interesting stuff,and it only took someone without any journalism to ask one simple question,eh?

     

     

    Imagine what we may discover if such professionals did their job?

  21. In Orc cyberland they have a thread going, claiming that this interim report re Green/Whyte connections has been received and it has found no fresh evidence of links between the pair. They are claiming the report exonerates Green and some are calling for his return.
