A big well done to everyone who participated in the efforts to send Vanessa Riddle to Philadelphia for crucial medical treatment. The £500k required was raised yesterday.
Brogan Rogan’ brought the issue to the blog and Taggsybhoy arranged the CQN Music Quiz earlier this month, our first formal activity for Vanessa. Penfold gave us a signed Celtic top at the quiz which raised an incredible £5000 on eBay (plus gift aid) from a Celtic fan who, quite simply, gets what following this club is all about.
Not only did he pay £5000 but he told us to keep the shirt and use it again! We then raffled the shirt on eBay and raised almost £1400. You are all part of an incredible story by an incredible support.
The draw for the signed shirt took place at Uefa headquarters in Nyon, you can watch the video of below and find out if you won.
Our thanks again to Andrew in Belfast for his tireless help with the site this week. The new ‘whyte’ template is in place and we’ll continue to restore functionality.

If I was cynical and paranoid, I’d expect hunmageddon to arrive at the time of the next Celtic v Evils game. The tickets issue will be used to blame Celtic for their failed finance.
FFM, I wouldn’t blame Celtic, I would thank them, sure you would too.
WG, Cheers, all is well today. MWD, you know fine well I did. Aipple, will do at some point.
I don’t know much about how administration works, but shouldn’t there be some sort of movement from Ibrokes, so far discounting the (no great) loss of Gordon Smith and Ali Russell all they seem to have done is try to sign up another player in Daniel Cousin. Maybe it’s just me.

Agree.. Re redundancies.. Why wait?
I’m reckoning Papac, Davis , McGregor , Aluko, Naismith, Whittaker all saleable.. A factor in dispensing with contracts will be ones who could bring in a few bob..?
….allegedly ‘Schnozzle’ has left the Big Hoose……
sumbdy please tell me that ‘Sondy’ is awrite…

Players being away on international duty may well be why no redundancies are being announced today. Papac has already said today he doesn’t expect a new contract. I thought the 14 day rule meant the redundancies have to happen today, but I doubt there is any requirement they have to be announced.
Doc @ 13:20
Nope, I want our name kept out of this. The whole of the hunnannigans to date has been their own doing.
If this “event” happens when we “play” them next, they will do their best to drag our name down with them. It’s what they do.

Is Craig Whyte coaching now? Or is he trying to put Hibs out of business too?? ;-)
MWD, more likely to be Healy and Papac IMO

P67 has had the decorators in, nice!
Don’t know if anybody has commented already, but anyone see the photaes o Greegs this morning? Looked distinctly uncomfy wearing his green strip that will be paraded tonight during the Scotland match!!

Are we there yet? How much farther to go? Why haven’t they bladdered half their squad yet? We want more wailing and gnashing of teeth by the peepul, another demo at Ibrox would also be welcome, cmon Admin guys, hurry up and get on wi it.

Re Davis and McGregor
How do the administrators go about making redundancies at the parent group that isn’t in administration?
FFM@13:24
Fair point, maybe watching from a distance is best.
I’m not sure how much flack Rangers took for putting Airdrie out of business though. I think I’d quite enjoy it if we put them down

i have “the big house must stay open” sound clip set as my ringtone. never fails to make me smile when i get a call…
mrob1967 @ 13:22
Well observed imo.
The hunnaniigans are being kept under wraps.
But I don’t blame them. There are people there just trying to do a job.
Any news needs a name with this crowd, and that name will be first on their “envelopes with nails sticking out” list.
I want to see Donald Findlay QC being lifted and interrogated about this anyway, He’s just so…charming…and quintessential.
Afternoon….
Have they sacked the old bigoted dwarf with the ridiculous black hair yet?
LET THE PEOPLE SACK RA KITMAN!!
Cultsbhoy, aluko and papac saleable? They are both out if contract in summer. Both aren’t assets and should be let go. Naismith won’t be fit until October so earliest a team will buy him will be January 2013.

Doc @ 13:28
The beauty of this “situation” is it’s all their own doing.
It really is a case of sitting back and letting them fall apart….SFA included.
Get yer Walls Ice Cream, Rowntrees Jelly and Blossom Hill Zinfandel on the ready :))
“Rangers know all about their troubles”

Tis the best ringtone in yrs, and will last for yrs :)))
“Sorry Farquhar, gonnae get that for me….”
ASonofDan,
Financial know nothing here. Would the failure to make any cuts be an attempt to drain the remaining cash reserves ASAP and so speed up liquidation for Our Hero?

Dont pay any attention to TheOriginalSadiesBhoy, I’m sure he had us playing in a Hearts strip at one time as kids, I say kids, thinking back he couldn’t have been much older .
TheOriginalSadiesBhoy if you click on my facebook sign thing on here, I think/hope it takes you to a picture of some guys you might remember ?

Great to see that photo of St. Bridget’s. I remember you, Tommy and Tommy Johnston well. I also recognise the other two boys but I’m struggling to remember their names. Do you know them?
You’re looking very well in your photograph – healthy and fit! I’m amazed to see you’re down in Marlow area. My brother-in-law lives in Maidenhead and when my wife and I visit we often go into Marlow for a walk along the banks of the Thames. We went down last summer for their 30th Wedding anniversary and stayed in Cookham for a few days. Lovely part of the world. I believe another one of the ex St. Bridget’s team lives in Maidenhead – Raymond Brown.
The Honest Cover-up
Agent Whyte’s hasty exit would suggest that this is all going to be over sooner rather than later.
Phil Mac some of this out several weeks ago.
There is no motivation to fight for their cashflow. They have no regard for their creditors. They’re just waiting for the right moment.
SSN reporting Hun administrators have uncovered £6 million residing in a London solicitors’ client account belonging to Craig Whyte.
Hector warms up the S.W.A.T team.
A quintessential ice-cream van tune would make a good ring-tone

There’s a peculiar article on the Evening Times online by a Rachel Loxton claiming that Smith had no hesitation in managing a Rangers side when he heard it would help raise money in their hour of need, although to my knowledge he was in line to do this anyway for charity. There are some excellent comments on the money being diverted from charities and the ‘Gers position on this. However, some guy from Bearsden thinks it might be “a bit immoral.”
A bit immoral! Help ma boab, as Thompson’s Post might say.
why would Whyte leave the money in the lawyers account ? would it not make more sense for them to have moved it into one of his no doubt myriad of accounts/companies ?
Imagine if 2000 phones armed with said quintessential ice-cream van tune ring-tone were to go off simultaneously at a football match

Great updates.
Any news on how the inflatable signs are doing?
Just watched the Korean Republic game, good news that Ki came through the game without an injury.
Korea won the game 2 – 0 against Kuwait, and qualify for the 4th qualifying round of the WC.

Well done to everyone involved in Vanessa’s appeal – an extraordinary achievement.

I’m getting fat on jelly and ice cream now.
I’ll wait for the event, however it comes about and enjoy it with a bottle of bubbly, followed by the best malt, Cardhu for me.
Good to be back!
Love the layout,though will we have the “link creator” back?
Last week a few posters were discussing John Beattie and his astonishment at the antics on the hun hordes.
Well this is not the first time he has been outspoken regarding “them”. Did have an article about the “old firm masters” charity game but can’t find it (or the missing money)
Though have a look at this http://i40.tinypic.com/64hrv7.jpg
ICE CREAM!!!!!!

No idea why! :oD

To be fair, the jelly and ice-cream thing was ill-advised.
Given the timescale of this situation.
The person responsible should be made to stand on a 3000ft high cherry picker, and eat his ice cream and jelly in front of a “packed” Ibrox stadium on the day they experience their “exstinction event”, shouting down a radio mic, ” The big house MUST stay open” Tis the bottom line don’t you know. :)))))))))))))))))
Was ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are there any other fans in world fitba wae such connoisseur taste for ice cream?
We have a whole army of ice cream aficionados expert in the bewildering variety of flavours, brands, recipes, Sorbets, gelatos, cones etc…this past month has been a crash course education on the subject of ice cream…but the proof is in the tasting.
Should the cherry picker be adorned in the Celtic away strip, or the good auld Hoops?…..mmm
