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. Philbhoy - It's just the beginning! on

    I don’t post very often but having caught up on the last couple of days posts I have to say I am very disappointed , especially on a wonderful site like this, at the amount of gloating and enjoyment being expressed by would be Celtic supporters at the the death of the vile, biggotted, depraved, cheating, arrogant, anti catholic, stinking sons of orange bitches from the south side.

     

     

    We are surely above that.

    So true Barcabhoy the record are in panic mode all you have to do is count their press releases on Google since liquidation was announced they are in overdrive

     

     

    RFCdeid spells the end of these succulent lambers its takeaway kebabs for them in the 3rd div

    just seen this on kds.

    I think David Potter is a journalist/Author who writes Celtic books. Maybe should have read a Celtic Club historian.

     

     

    Anyways, all states have fairly artificially created boundaries.

  5. What’s all this I hear about Seb Coe wanting to take over Rangers? Does this mean they’ll just be playing (sorry, cheating) in the olympics instead of Scottish Football?

     

     

    Or have I got this wrong …?

     

     

    Keeping the faith stronger than ever.

    For “Denmark” insert any word you like for the slo-mo car crash that rfc (dead) has set in motion.

  8. Colleague: Anyone want anything from Home Bargains (like Semi-Chem, but better)?

     

     

    Me: Aye. You know those lanterns Chinese people light at New Year and send up into the sky? Can you get us one of them please?

  9. Just been sent this, belter:

     

     

    They had their parties to honour their queen, the bunting was out, fat uglies were seen. Long may she reign n all that trash, a few ciders later they were singing the sash. They forgot for a while they owed the bun money, an amount so large, she didnt find funny. They hoped and prayed she’d turn a blind eye, she wouldnt let the ranjurs die. But the old battle axe said your loyalty means nowt, i dont care what u sing, dont care what u shout. Pay me in full or u will feel the wrath, you manky swines need more than a bath. Off with your heads and yer five star tattoos, yer aye ready slogan and funny brown shoes. U will cease to exist, the establishment team, hanged for treason-long live the queen.

    The history of Palestine is,as you know, complex and not to be explained in wee soundbites.

     

    I`m no expert ,but at least use facts when you express opinions.

  11. Serious question.

     

     

    What are the plans for lanterns/fireworks so that I might get my pyrotechnic supplies ready?

  13. I love all the huns giving it ‘lets go to Division 3 and the SPL will be screwed’.

     

     

    How exactly will rangers pay it’s overheads with only income from Division 3?

     

     

    Stupid, Stupid, huns…

  14. I’m absolutely amazed about how supine the huns fans have been in accepting their demise. In 1994 we were organising meetings, getting wallets ready to be open to buy shares….God, my share certificates look even more beautiful today than ever.

     

    They, on the other hand, come out with bile and bullying….nothing at all positive or productive.

     

    My only regret is that my late dad, RIP, and countless others like him, are not with us to enjoy this day of days.

     

    Finally memo to PL and the Board. Get wee Fergus back to raise the flag this year. Bet he would bring the house down and, truly, we owe the wee man one!

  15. Fandandy Grey on TalkPi55 stated that the FPLG has not walked away.

     

    He didn’t read a statement or any quotes just said the Sally wouldn’t do that.

     

     

    The next moment his sidekick statrs to spout on about the renaming of the newco and Fandandy starts get all upity about the name must be Rankers,

     

     

    And they are suppose to be the ones in the know!

     

     

    LMFAO and enjoying the ice cream and jelly!

    Any clubs interested in RFC’s disputed titles must put in an Application before liquidation occurs.

  18. So, another 6 to 10 weeks of uncertainty, is it?

     

     

    “Mr Admin, can you guarantee that, having started the season, Rangers will be in a position to complete their fixtures?”

     

     

    “Erm, aye, but if der orkenkind go bust, we’ll need to be voted back in to the SPL as a NewClub.”

     

     

    “Mr Admin, is that a naw then?”

     

     

    “Not at all, we’ll just get voted back in and complete the fixtures as a NewClub.”

     

     

    “Mr Admin, that’s a new club and you can’t guarantee that you’ll carry the vote.”

     

     

    “Aye, but if we start the new season then everyone will have to vote us back i…baws, I wisnae meant to say that. Sky deal? Crowds? Erm”

     

     

    “Mr Admin, your club is the missing link, goodbye”

  19. They are defunct,dead,gone,finito,terminated. Sliced and diced. Liquidised.

     

    All the upcoming wrangles and legal jigging will simply amount to the 21st. Century equvalent of “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin”. There will be a convocation of fools.

     

    And what is the collective re. vultures?

     

    Anyway,”to sleep,perchance to dream” for me,now that the party’s over,the lights are raised and the rubbish strewn ballroom is exposed for the tawdry,slightly sad memory of past times that never really existed at all.

  20. Good afternoon to all in the Celtic family. Just to confirm, was it 10 o’clock for the lantern let off tomorrow? What a great idea… are other Celtic sites spreading the word on this too?

    Barcabhoy – Also, Sky isn’t the only broadcaster out there.

     

     

    BT just picked up English Premier League rights for the first time. They have ambitious plans to expand their audience.

     

     

    (thumbsup)

     

     

    …………..

     

     

    ESPN don’t have any rights to the EPL now, so they might want to throw their money at the SPL with the biggest club in the UK.

    YES.

     

     

    Theres not a team like the Glasgow rangers, no not one…

    14th June 2012 – One of Thee greatest days in Scottish football history and Scottish history, the day a rancid football club officially died, deid, kaput, finito and their 140 years of tainted history became just that, history, a murkey embarassing history of cheating, theiving, bigotry, racism and tax dodging. Fan freeekin tastic.

  23. Is Thompson asking for time to try to persuade his supporters of the need to accept newco into SPL??

     

     

    Chairman Stephen Thompson today issued the following statement: “Whilst we now have greater clarity on the current situation at Rangers, we are at a major crossroad for Scottish Football and, significantly, the future of many clubs.

     

    “It is appropriate that the SPL shareholders and the individual boards are allowed time to reflect and privately discuss this matter in the best interests of Scottish football and each SPL member club.

     

    “Before making any decisions, Dundee United will continue our dialogue with our supporters’ representative groups and listen to our customers’ views.

     

    “The Club will be making no further statements regarding the current situation at Rangers until the aforementioned discussions have taken place.”

    Like you. Reflection before celebration.

     

    At least we are here in their stead and watching over the legacy we were lucky enough to inherit.

     

     

    Wee Fergus? Yes,please.
