None of you will be surprised at today’s opinion from the Court of Session in Edinburgh that Rangers’ deal with Ticketus cannot be set aside, despite some absolutely pitiful reporting to the contrary. It’s fine to get things wrong every now and then, we all get Duff information on occasion, but please….
It’s worth recording, Ticketus may only have paid £20m + vat but the tickets they own are worth in the region of £40m. High risk investments require a high return.
Rangers’ administrators argued that the deal inhibited their ability to rescue the company but the heroic Blue Knights submitted a bid accommodating Ticketus, undermining the administrators’ argument. If only the Blue Knights were in a position to strike a deal with Craig Whyte they could be regarded as helping the situation instead of being hapless fools.
Next up is HMRC, who have not capitulated and agreed to accept a few pennies in the pound. They have not agreed to accept anything less than all monies owed. Soon after that we will hear that no court has been able to set aside Craig Whyte’s security over Ibrox. The most underappreciated man no longer in Scotland remains the only person with a reasonable chance of phoenix-ing Rangers.
The first 26,000 (approx.) tickets sold to each Rangers game for the next three years are owned by Ticketus. In the event a phoenix occurs, Rangers will have to revert back to budgets from their glory days of the 1950s – we will soon be told this is a great omen.
If you are going to Ibrox on Sunday, take care and enjoy your visit. Take photographs of the occasion and send them in, we’ll perhaps use them on a future edition of CQN Magazine. It may prove to be the end of an era.

SaintLubo,
Poor old Murray, businessman extraordinaire, was duped, remember!
Whyte had confirmation from his solicitors that he would have money (from Ticketus) if he bought the club.

Accurate and to the point brother.
I can honestly say that even after 50 years of life in this country, I still managed to underestimate the hatred towards us (us being ..of Irish Catholic origin and supporting Celtic Football Club). I am convinced that if the huns were in this crisis, but without the existance of CFC, the msm and governing bodies would feel relaxed about Aberdeen or Hearts gaining dominance. Its purely hypothetical of course but I only make the point to underline another example of the institutionalised discrimination that still exists in Scotland. They are mortified at the thought of the ‘tarrier’ club dominating the national sport for a long time.

seems a butcher in Bridgeton is donating the cost of a sausage to the helping orcs fund..
can’t do the link as P67 gets into trouble for illegal links…
The 2 quid flags are a pathetic attempt to gain support from those watching the game outside Scotland,that’s all it is,if any of them really believed in the flag they flag they would be ashamed of the club they support for avoiding its responsibility to the nation,non Scots adults watching tomorrow on this island are sensible enough to see the pitiful irony in the flag waiving PR exercise in the midden tomorrow.
Be nice to see one big tri colour saying ‘ tax paid’ to offset the opportunistic vulgarity from the other 3 sides of the dereliction.

Some mother’s son
Some Mother’s Son
is a 1996 film written and directed by Irish filmmaker Terry George, co-written by Jim Sheridan, and based on the true story of the 1981 hunger strike in the Maze Prison, in Northern Ireland. Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) prisoner Bobby Sands (played by John Lynch) led a protest against the treatment of IRA prisoners, claiming that they should be treated as prisoners of war rather than criminals. The mothers of two of the strikers, played by Helen Mirren and Fionnula Flanagan, fight to save their sons’ lives.

Just for you. From FF:
Donate a Cox Butchers sausage to The Rangers
Right bare with me here as this could be a stroke of genius.
We at David Cox Butchers, Main St Bridgeton are going to try this whacky way to raise some more money for the club through the method below.
All money raised will goto ticket sales for a local BB to get along to Ibrox and watch The Rangers.
Step One.
Assistant weighs up one slice of square sausage.
Step Two.
Assistant informs punter of price of aforementioned sausage.
Step Three.
Cistomer donates the price of the sausage.
Step Four.
Tickets bought for local kids to go watch The Rangers.
Seems great idea to me
Started this morning and have had a few hits already. Ill keep this thread updated as we go but its a bit of fun and every penny to the club counts.

I genuinely bet (that’s a McCoistism for you) it’s the same bit of sausage they keep using – some rancid, putrid bit of auld meat thats been lying about since god knows when. If the huns don’t come out of admin or go into liquidation soon, the whole place will be totally minging…
Just ask anyone selling a wee flag if you can see his street traders permit. They only cost £61 and I’m sure they will all have paid
this whole rangers thing is a laugh. CW bought rangers for £1. DM said he had no way of forcing CW to leave, my reading is there was no legally binding guarantees about how the club would be financed. CW decided, as the owner of rangers, to finances his club the way be wanted to = his right as owner, has preferred creditor status, is it really that hard to figure out.
CW will go to court to challenge if they try to force him out of the picture and his money.
judge refused to make ruling on the administrators challenge to ticketus i.e breach the contract
pro-rangers view = happy as Larry, we’ve got £24 million for nothing and we dont need to pay it back (WATB) hahaha
ticketus = breach the deal and we’ll challenge you until you die, liquidate and we’ll seek, via court, our money from any newco, we own seats at ibrox for next four year or upwards of £40 million.
but look at these other SPL clubs now talking up changing the rules to allow a newco to walk straight back into the SPL, demanding changes to the voting system etc… so they can push through any rules they wish to so long as they get what they want. now i know celtic and rangers have done this in the past, but if we are looking a a bright new start for scottish football surely it should not start with exclusion
i kind of think celtic are stuck between a rock and a hard place with regards all this stuff
There’ll be moonbeams over

(Children) So long, farewell Auf Wiedersehen, adieu (Fredrick) Adieu, adieu To you and you and you

Gonna smash it up til theres nothing left

Oooh ooh smash it up, smash it up, smash it up
Oooh ooh smash it up, smash it up, smash it up
People call me villain oh it’s such a shame
Maybe it’s my clothes must be to blame
I don’t even care if I look a mess
Don’t wanna be a sucker like all the rest

Smash it up (x5)
Smash it up, you can keep your krishna burgers
Smash it up, and your glastonbury hippies
Smash it up, you can stick your frothy lager
Smash it up, and your blow wave hairstyles

And everybodys smashing things now

I think they are selling them after the turnstiles.
Not getting the square sausage thing.
Is it not like going in to a pub, and the barman shows you a pint, and you give him three quid?
Or you go to the lap dancing, the bouncer describes some girls, and you give him twenty quid?
9-2 Broonie to score anytime in the game. Anybody fancy a Penalty tomorrow.

Ken Loach used some people from my area as extras in that film and at the premier screening in London he brought a few of them over where he made sure they were treated with the same courtesy and respect as the main actors

This 2 quid flag thing….
They keep making arses of themselves and just don’t get it. This is a blatant last gasp attempt to play the”Them and us” “Old Firm” angle.
Just like the poppy nonsense where instead of donating to the Scottish Poppy Fund they sold a poppy shirt and had collections at the gate for said fund. Rangers raised 6,500 pounds total.
Celtic donated 10,000 pounds total.
Who copped the flak?

falkirkbhoy,
Oh well, they won’t need a permit then as they are not on public land. I suppose the administrators can give them permission

Tiger, Tiger, burning bright …
February 19, 2010 by localnews
Cheerful symmetry: Singapore-based brewer Tiger Beer has included Glasgow in its Chinese New Year arts and advertising campaign with a wall mural near the South Portland Street suspension bridge. The huge painting, which celebrates the Year of the Tiger, is one of five works inspired by the Chinese elements of the zodiac – Earth, wood, metal, water and fire. The Glasgow mural depicts the element fire. The Glasgow work, which took two days to complete, was carried out by artists from the studio of John McFaul, a Liverpudlian painter with Glasgow family connections.
