Snout in trough required, Champions League frustrations

768
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

The frustration at the news Derk Boerrigter is injured, again, and will miss another important Champions League game, is enormous.  Derk was a big part of our summer signing strategy but he came with a caveat concerning his propensity to suffer injury.

We have seen only flashes of him since he joined from Ajax in the summer.  His opportunities to exploit his undoubted speed in SPFL games will be limited by opponents tendency to defend deep, denying him space to run into, making Champions League games all the more important to his season.

Our other pace player, James Forrest, will surely come into sharp focus for the visit of Ajax on Tuesday.

I see Alasdair Johnston is expressing concern that Our Hero is still pulling the strings at Ibrox!  I never thought of that!

Let’s see…. He is a director of Sevco 5088 Ltd, the firm which had an irrevocable right to buy the assets of liquidated Rangers, he issued a pre-action letter to exercise those rights, there was in independent ‘inquiry’ which completely failed to investigate control of Sevco 5088 Ltd, then he went quiet. Why are we always a day behind the news?

Does that mean he got bored and went away, or is he conducting his business in private?  I am sure it’s the latter but Craig Whyte is the least of Johnston’s concerns when it comes to who is able to pull strings at Ibrox.  All the action is offstage.

Speaking about what is happening offstage, whenever Rangers International’s advisers confirm how the company can appoint sufficient executives to be compliant with AIM requirements, they will need a new chief executive.

Going by recent (and not so recent) trends they will need someone with their snout constantly in the trough, with impeccable Rangers credentials, with their snout constantly in the trough, who is currently available for work, with their snout constantly in the trough, who has previously worked in the game and with their snout constantly in the trough.

If only they could find another genuine fan who would be prepared to do whatever necessary in return for a remarkable contract.  Can’t think of anyone.

Wait a minute………

Thanks to everyone who participated in Show Your Hand yesterday.

    bmcd48,

     

     

    Don’t blame the Police.

     

     

    They were all having their tea, therefore they saw and heard nothing!

    I thought there was a standard punishment for red cards in the CL, eg 1 game ban for first offence, 2 games second offence etc. All along I assumed Scott would miss next week’s visit of Ajax and that would be it.

     

     

    Why did UEFA have to convene a disciplinary meeting to decide on a punishment? Does every red card have to be decided by committee?

    ……………………….

     

    It came along well today and sits at 2,287 from 34 countries with 12 days to go.

     

     

    The Celtic Trust gave it a good Tweet and many took heed.

     

     

    We can but try and yes that was a nice number from a singer I have never heard of. The German lad came across as a nice bloke with a real love of Celtic.

     

     

    Worth a listen. http://billynowell.com/category/desert-island-tims/

     

     

    I’m on next week so might get a few more supporters depending on how I come across, I suppose.

     

     

    We shall see.

     

     

    Off now.

    Kathleen Largey did a truly haunting version of The Dying Rebel. Irrespective of anyone’s views on politics or history, it would be a hard heart that did not feel for the “grey-haired father” mourning the loss of his only son in the song. Really simple but emotional storytelling.

     

     

    Hard to sing along to it with without crying.

    ACGR – tears in my eyes by the time I got to O’Connell Street – thanks mate.

     

     

    Understand some folks might not appreciate rebel songs, but this is a fundamentally sad personal story told by a real, simple, but deeply emotional voice – wonderfully expressive singer

    BGFC, I’d never heard that before but it’s a great song.

     

     

    Try this one, first posted months ago by shady before he moved to Aus and reposted by me on a few occasions. This would bring a tear to a glass eye.

     

     

    Once again, thankyou shady.

    ACGR – thanks. That’s me away again!

     

     

    Very sad story; what an unbelievably, and unremittingly hard life people back then had. You hear yourself complain about not having enough of this or that – makes you ashamed when you think of the life that millions had, and still have, to live.

     

    Good song – thanks.

    VP, thanks. I’m not a religious man but I like your prayer. The the anger I have right now would not be satisfied without including torture and breaking of heads of the scum who wrecked my two weeks.

     

     

    I’ll get over this in time and might remove the torture part.

     

     

    Hail Hail bruv.

    ACGR – Can’t find a link to it, but try to hear The West’s Awake as sung by Dermot O’Brien – if you haven’t heard it before, I think you may like it.

    As the World is Darkened further and enslaved Further by the Love of Money that the Social Engineers play on, religiously, debt has been put on so many people, there is no way out, frae debt.

     

     

    Arsenal get slaughtered by the debt loving press down sarf.

     

     

    Arsene Wenger is an absolute LEGEND as he is never forced into spending Money. He is crucially, not a Lover of Money. Massive difference.
