On Saturday my mind wandered, as it does, to the demise of Gretna in 2008. The village team were bankrolled through the Scottish league system until promotion to the SPL in 2007 but then the cash ran out. The club went into liquidation a few weeks from the end of the season but while most of the first team squad were made redundant, a few remained on a week-to-week basis to see out the remaining league programme, assisted considerably by the SPL and Livingston FC, who made their ground available.
Should Rangers fail around the same time, I thought, how apt it would be for us to meet them in the Scottish Cup final. We would be there at the end to wave goodbye to a unique institution. Witnesses to the final whistle on a club with an enormously controversial history.
Unfortunately, my hopes were dashed by Dundee United at Ibrox yesterday, who Flushed Away the opposition and won their first game against an SPL team in 2012. We will have to scramble for tickets for the prospective event at another venue.
United seem set to try their hardest to spoil my enjoyment of the Cup. Our quarter final draw against them next month will be one of the toughest games of the season.

Any further news re this mornings meeting??
Zbyszek- my son and his pals are going to Wroclaw next month [flying into Lodz]
Any advice on what they should see when they’re there?
Many thanks.
Zbyszek says:
Thanks for posting that interview with Pawel, it was a good read. I dd note Neil saying he was trying to get his fitness up for the Hearts game, so it may be possible he sees this game as ideal for Pawel. at least playing some part.

Whyte’s modus operandi was always bog standard Pump and Dump stuff.
Pump and Dump requires people to be deceived .
When he wasn’t Pumping and Dumping he was Asset Stripping — that requires people to weak and desperate . Vulture stuff..
He has no reputation to protect . He is not part of the Scottish Establishment —– way too obvious, way too vulgar.
Minty conned his way into the Scottish Establishment——— Edinburgh Bankers, big cheese financial people, politicians and the media all swallowed his schtick. Minty will not be exposed because any exposure of Minty will cast a big light on the Scottish Establishment..They will protect themselves.
Having filched a few million , Whyte will cut and run.
Yes to Liquidation . No to Newco. Yes to Sircumcision. No to hubris [ it is way too early.]
Beat Hertz – one more turn of the screw.
Lovely sunny day —- cold Siberian wind -way down south.

Tell them to check Wroclaw-life.com website first. Paul has my email address and telephone number. I will speak to my friend who lives near Wroclaw and will ask him to make suggestions. Lodz is not very interesting place for the tourists. It was very industrial city with big Jewish diaspora before war. Wroclaw is better place to see.
