Speak his name in hushed tones

1566

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.

  1. Live coverage from Ipox on Sky. Nobody there. If that was Celtic there would be thousands outside Celtic Park. These people put their poisonous bigoted dogma before their club. They appear to have given up on that vehicle. Orange Halls will, no doubt, get a roaring increase in business with the huns looking for new places to spout their bile.

  2. Fortunes Favour Mibbes on

    Another wee welcome side-effect should be the quick demise of the odious DR – unless it increases its cartoons and picture content in its Saturday editions for the bored huns.

    BBC: Rangers tight-lipped on McCoist

     

     

    I fully expect complete transparency!!

  4. OK – I’ll have top tear myself away from the celebrations – see you all at 7 for Yub Nub.

  5. stvdavidc: Administration to last another 6 to 10 weeks, cva meeting told. Charles green appealed for “unity.” McCoist in audience.

     

     

    So do the other SPL clubs need to vote now on Newclub or in 10 weeks?

  13. RE : LANTERNS & FIREWORKS.

     

     

    A couple of nights ago I posted a wee comment ,

     

     

    FIREWORKS 10PM Friday.

     

     

    since then its grown a wee bit, someone I think Arty maybe suggested we do Chinese Lanterns instead.

     

    There were many comments from others about our dearly departed, and how they would have felt if still here.

     

    Friday night, if you want let a lantern into the sky and remember them.

     

    If you feel like some firworks do that instead.

     

     

    Ive got comments from as far a field as Newcastle and Liverpool. all over scotland and ireland.

     

     

    SEMICHEM £4.99 for a decent quality lantern.

     

     

    I suggested 10pm , just as the dusk comes on, but if you want to do it any other time go ahead. Do what suits yourself.

     

     

    I like the thought of seeing a lantern in the sky and thinking one of our bhoys is thinking about hid dad, uncle, granda, friends.

    I wish Tommy Burns could have seen this

     

     

     

    Tommy will be looking down with a wry smile. Soon he will be celebrating the fact that he did actually win a title once the powers that be have the balls to strip the Hxxs of the leagues they cheated to gain. I want that to happen more than anything. Give Tommy his title!

  21. A truly memorable day in a series of memorable days.

     

     

    St Stivs, word is being spread here on Tyneside. On the day that the Olympic Torch arrives in Newcastle, the skies above the River Tyne and surrounding areas will see the skies lit as wee groups of lanterns heading to the Heavens.

     

     

    On Saturday, the Mother of all wakes will take place at our Champions Party, complete with the SPL Trophy (Thank you Celtic!). All are welcome but don’t be late, it’s going to be a very full house!

  22. Live on SSN…

     

    Fat sally leaving ibrokes, surrounded by journos asking for something for the fans.

     

    Sally said nothing. Not even a word for his fans.

     

    He didn’t look happy, I wonder if he got some bad news.

    Don’t you think there’s something very cheap,amateur and common about the name-

     

     

    The Rangers F.C 2012

     

     

    It’s almost like a nickname.
