For three months a charade took place, where Craig Whyte – who is and will remain owner of Rangers until they are finally ‘flushed away’, Duff and Phelps, The Blue Knight(s), Bill Miller, Charles Green, several members of the accountancy profession who should have known better, and some of the Fourth Estate, who clearly didn’t know better, all told you Rangers were likely to achieve a CVA.
As we (and several others) told you, a CVA was never, ever, going to be accepted by HMRC. A cursory glance at the HMRC web site would confirm that. Once Alex Salmond had his wings clipped, that debate was over.
The charade was a distraction. There are many other distractions available today and they will multiply in the days to come, but I reckon if you’re looking for the critical path on this one you should keep an eye on Lord Carloway. The chair of the SFA Appellate Panel is worth listening out for. Say his name in hushed tones, better still, abbreviate. Even the mention of LC will cause anxiety and distress, for some.

Sorry to hear what you’re going through. 2012 seems to be a really bad year for lots of people I know.
Try to keep your head up,and keep posting on CQN. Lots of good yins on here : they’ll do their best to help you through.
They’ve done it for me,and most of the time they don’t even realise how uplifting to the spirit they can be.
Take care. HH.
Saint Stivs – what happened to the rockets? Have we changed to Chinese lanterns cos i said i didnae have any rockets and would ma lanterns dae?
If so count me in, but like I said i’ll be blasting out The Ride of the Valkyries.
Should be a sight!

Euro 2012 – Celtic Related .
Today’s La Gazzetta dello Sport [ the fitba pink ] – Italy’s biggest selling daily newspaper.
Devotes a page to last night’s Czech Republic 2 Greece 1 match .
Wee feature rating the players [ out of ten ] and then some words on each player
I quote-
Samaras 4 —- A statue .
I didn’t see the came so can’t comment ..
Another run of the mill low 90s day — work and sweat till noon and then head for the beach —– summertime -way down south.
Thanks, lads, for all your good advice and kind words….
Torontony …. cheers, pal…. this past year has really knocked the stuffing out of me, so when I wasn’t trying to take care of Luc,I have been a bit of a recluse … but, need to get on with things/get out a bit more, so, will definitely get up to the club a bit more often …. who knows…. I might even take you up on that beer …. I even had a glass of wine in his memory last week! Okay, half a glass … then felt a bit tipsy … I’m a lightweight when it comes to that stuff.
wish I had brought dad to the club at Xmas like we planned … I know that you guys would have really liked each other.
Honest mistake …. good shout … my brother and I were talking about that this week
Sitting here reading emails from friends …. crying like a baby …. my partner at the office keeps walking by …. doesn’t know what to do! Making me smile a wee bit!
Cheers, lads.
Agent “Green and” Whyte!!@15:30
It is FFs agent who is turning his head with all sorts of nonsense regards wages
I sincerely hope FF has had some better advice from his family, and tells his agent to conclude the deal this week
Saint Stivs- is it not that the sky’s going to fall on the big hoose?
Oh i forgot they sell lanterns in the Poundstore on Sauchiehall St………….for a £1!
..and the bookstore along fae it!
Mike in Toronto
So sorry buddy

Apparently in their wisdom the SPL decreed that they still had their share until it was allocated to another team.
……………..
But how can a company that doesn’t exist have a vote. Someone who claims to represent RFC at the vote will be commiting fraud as they would no longer exist. What if I turn up and say I represent them? After all I would have as much claim as green or Duff n Dummer
“Mike in Toronto”
I lost my mother the day Celtic won the League.
I shared this on another blog.
Another poster left me the simple msg,
“You’ll never walk alone”
made me feel a whole lot better.
I can only repeat the sentiment to you pal.
You’ll never walk alone.
Hail Hail
Mike,
It’s a bad time just now, can’t get much worse than losing your best friends, especially if they’re family.
My wife left my son and I 18 months ago, for her own reasons which I still dont understand, and although she
came back for us to sell the house she is now set up in her own place.
My Dad died at 69 , 30 years ago now . There still aren’t many days I dont think about him.
Things do get easier.Keep yourself busy mate and enjoy the fantastic memories.
What’s happening on the south side will only be a minor distraction , welcome nonetheless.
Thoughts are with you.

Wrecking ball is a brilliant Album and has a very “Celtic” feel right enough.
You will love the opening…… very Celtic indeed…… in fact… Henrikesque!!!

”Interesting article about Celtic and the Palestinian cause”
The Green Brigade weren’t quite so vocal on the issue at the Hapoel Tel Aviv game when a protest might actually have had some impact in Israel.
The expression Strong Opinions Weakly Held comes to mind.
The parallels between Israel and Norn Irn were mooted even before the state was formed.
‘Sir Ronald Storrs, the first British military governor of Jerusalem, explained that the Zionist “enterprise was one that blessed him that gave as well as him that took, by forming for England ‘a little loyal Jewish Ulster’ in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism.” The Zionists would be the Orangemen of Palestine.’

I started with Fireworks, but the Lanterns is a good addition as well, so thats for the idea.
Use anything.
Light it up.
If I had a beacon I would set that up as well.
Lets see iy anyone in Gourock can get up to Lyle Hill and do it there.
as Smashy says, lets just do it.
S of Tunis- the statuesque Giorgios did allright, messed up his hair winning a few headers but being played in the wrong position , ie as a target man instead of running from deep.
If he’d been playing at CP like he has played in the Euros he’d be gettin’ pelters from the ole customers.
Well that’s ,that, the old ragers are deed ,no more ,kapoot ,extinct ,gone .
I wonder if auld Minty has any advice for wee fergus on how to run a football team now .
Oh how I have longed for this day ,when Minty’s jibes would come back to haunt him and haunt him they have eh vineyard Dave ,hope there’s no sour grapes old boy .
Yet still the LL in the MSM try to deflect blame from the real culprit in all this
The mintmyster,casino loyale,metal minty ,the loadsamoney del boy of Scottish football .
I could swear the air in Glasgow this morning was fresher but spare a thought for all the ludges that worked so hard on the bunting and the street parties to celebrate Lizzies jubilee only for her tallymen to kill the ragers stone deed a week later ,
Gone yersel Lizzie old gal ,what a bloody jubilee

Unfortunately there is a difference between a liquidator being appointed and an entity being liquidated so strictly speaking it is unlikely they will be liquidated when a vote is taken.

I read that with great interest. I remember reading that Hamas based their social principles on S.F.
The Palestinians are right up against it. A gigantic war machine despises them.
That shoud be familiar to all with antecedents in the Irish diaspora.
HH!
Was going to post some more thoughts on Rangers liquidation but reading about “Mike in Toronto” I realised that there are many things more important than the trivial footballing issues.
Best wishes Mike, hope there are better days ahead for you.

Hearing rumours that start of SPL may be delay for between 2-4 weeks.

Thanks !
Word of warning A lanterns and booze mixture can be dangerous,
I almost set light to the kids while trying to be the responsible adult :)
Be safe H.H
10pm, I’m up for that, just texted a dozen other tims with the idea as well!
Q. Where to get a chinese lantern?
Probably old hat by now.
At a hastily convened press conference, sir David has said that for every five years Craigie does, he will happily do ten.
Ten Men Won The League
That’ll be because those damn Tims want to go on Tour again.
Oh, and Sevco FC will take the place of Rangers FC(deid)

Chris McLaughlin or whoever it was ….. talking complete and utter nonsense on Radio Scotland earlier on.
His take on Green sale going through because he was the only one who put money on the table is just complete and total hogwash and sheepdip.
A three year old with Diarreah, The Mumps, and sucking a gobstopper while talking Swahili with a bucket over their head would make more sense

I’m pretty sure the GB did make some sort of protest but I also recall there being an issue with Celtic supporters being used by ‘groups’ who had done little or nothing to back us in past issues.
LANTERNS – SEMICHEM £4.99, POUNDLAND £1.
FIREWORKS – ASDA

No point in setting of Chinese Lanterns down in the badlands of D&G……..they won’t get any higher than the ole wind turbines.
KDC – Poundstore on Sauchiehall St and the Bookstore along from it! £1 each.
Saint Stivs – High Park in Knightswood will be my locale as you can see for miles. Great idea. Light them up! (was that not from some film?)
I wondered when that particular suggestion would rear it’s ugly head.
I have been expecting that to be mooted for weeks. And it’s not on. That will impact on our preparations for Europe, knock the entire schedule off kilter and have adverse affects on everything from fans travel arrangements to TV games.
When are the authorities in this country going to grow a pair?
That we have come this close – seven weeks to go – until the season starts, when liquidation has been inevitable from the word go without this being resolved is bad enough. If we’re now putting the whole SEASON on hold just to enable Rangers to scrape up the necessary … not on.
And yet, as I say, I have been expecting this. It is an obvious move.
Off topic I know, but does anyone still think we’ll get £3m for Sammi? I dont.
can’t see the Other 10 delaying the start of the SPL, their cashflow is bad enough. late start would mean more midweek games and their fans would be fair hacked off.

Thanks for those replies, still can’t grasp the logic or sense in that though!!
Can some bright chap forward on the Chinese Lantern celebration to other Celtic sites?
FRIDAY 15/06/2012 @ 22.00 LIGHT A CHINESE LANTERN AND CELEBRATE THE DEMISE OF JOBBY FC WITH TIMS AROUND THE GLOBE!
Apparently FPLG was with Green from 07:30 yesterday morning and sat in on every meeting.
According to Green that is, funny how there has not been one quote from FPLG…
