I long ago promised to take nothing for granted regarding the Rangers Tax Case, as it confounded my predictions from the off, but with the matter underway today with its final arbiter, The Supreme Court, I’m prepared to go as far as to say: so far, so good.
There is a long way to go – so no one should be out celebrating a draw. The matter will not be settled by the performance of a QC on his feet, rather the finer points of law. Today has been interesting, so far, but we will hopefully be well into our next Champions League group stage games before we hear the outcome.
Alzheimer Scotland were in touch yesterday and asked me to send you this message:
I know they were enormously appreciative that Billy McNeill’s family decided to go public with his situation two weeks ago. The encouragement they have had since has fortified their efforts. Your donation of £3264 blew them away.
Thank you.

I will still feel a sense of justice when they, the EBTers, cop for their just `rewards`.

Of that I have no doubt, right I’m off to court to watch this Hun skelping.
Lurking Huns and SMSM GIRFUYs
Morning Bhoys from a very windy Central Scotland.No wonder Scottish football is a financial mess when clubs like Dundee get the chance to sell several thousand tickets for a match to Celtic fans which would bring them in a much needed income boost they refuse to do so.There will be many empty seats at Dens amongst the very small Dundee support but of course they dont need or want our money they are happy to struggle along on the park and financialy as I said no wonder Scottish football is a financial mess with plonkers like the Dundee board running the football club.

Well, looks like I stand corrected! :>}

Crikey, Thornhill just rambled on for 10 mins, Lord says to him ‘nothing particularly relevant there’, Thornhill ‘yes’ Lord ‘well tell us when you have something then’, *shakes head. Oooft.
That’s not Thornhill. It’s the second HMRC lawyer, Herbert I think.

BBC 6 onthe BBC Radio website has Jim Reid playing and talking about some of his favourite records . I was disappointed with his selection but old grumpy git me has finally accepted that other people rarely share my great taste in music !!!!.

Nobody with the slightest bit of tech savvy needs to pay to watch footie anymore.
I agree with you 100% that tv is an evil for the match going supporter.
Clubs need to prioritise the fans who make the effort to actually attend games. IMO , no game should be televised in the normal manner unless 80% of available tickets are sold. Contracts should reflect that or similar proposals. Football without fans has never been a more pertinent quotation.
In saying that, I will be in the pub to watch Celtic at Dundee.

SFTB, I will add in my defence that I was quoting Souness in response to Barney67 on 16th March 2017 2:11 am who had posted something similar but wasn’t sure who had said it!

I’m a bit of an insomniac, I struggle with my faith too, as well as being dyslexic.
I sat up half the night last night wondering if there really is a dog.

Just watched a minute of the Court Case. That was all I could manage. Bring in Judge John Deed !!

No, it appeared to me to last night that you responded poorly to Neganon, without addressing him directly, because he disagrees with the prevailing mood of CQN, as he sees it.
You equated this with ‘Big Brother’ watching you from ‘1984’.
Ironic, given some of your recent posts, as I said.
Your overreaction to Neg’s post suggests it’s you who has the problem with free speech, not me.
I reserve the right to criticise anyone calling Sevco ‘Rangers’.
However, I’m not asking for the mods to intervene or anything!
I’m just using my right to disagree, a right I’m delighted you have too.
Now, where’s me jackboots?

In response to his comment , without addressing me directly , about a post I had made.
Or did that escape your antennae ?
” I reserve the right to criticise anyone calling Sevco ‘Rangers’. ”
Who said you couldn`t ?
Self delusion is a choice which everyone has the right to make.

Wowww… a fantastic Cheltenham day for me personally, as I backed 3 of the Team Mullins-Walsh winners in a handy wee patent… but I was totally trumped by the outstanding efforts of Zihuatanejo who put up a 40/1 winning selection in the Kim Muir chase (Domesday Book).
I hope you backed it, sir !
