Football clubs tie themselves in knots sometimes. Newco Rangers fired off with an incorrect rant on the same club/new club debate yesterday, only to be told to withdraw it a couple of hours later – which they promptly did. Dundee United signed Charlie Telfer on a free contract and were due to pay Training Compensation to his previous club, for the player’s development from when he was 13-years-old.
Football operates a Training Compensation system whereby clubs signing players up to 23-years-old have to make a payment for the development of the player since they were 13. The payment is made in its entirety to the club which previously held the player’s registration. The receiving club is then obliged to pay any previous clubs for their portion of the player’s development.
Dundee United contested the rate at which they had to pay for Charlie Telfer, incorrectly, as it turned out. They did not contest that they were due to pay the entirety of Telfer’s development to the preceding club. No mechanism exists to forgive Training Compensation obligations in the event a preceding club no longer exist. Any monies due remain payable, ultimately to the club’s creditors.
Those at Newco who fired off the statement in haste yesterday will now consider that they have collected payment for services fulfilled by oldco. It is up to Rangers’ liquidators, BDO, to recover their portion of the money from Dundee United on behalf of creditors.
A condition which Newco signed up to, to gain membership of the SFA, was that they become responsible for all Rangers’ football financial obligations. This includes paying down Training Compensation, as well as the still-uncollected £250k fine levied by the Nimmo Smith Inquiry.
That £250k fine has become something of a football ‘football’. It is a football debt due to the SPL, which has since folded its liabilities and obligations onto the SPFL. The SPL was not in a position to enforce payment as newco never played top flight football, so the matter was parked until it became actionable. I don’t know the current position of the Nimmo Smith £250k debt but faux bravado can only encourage others to ask the question, “Where’s our £250k?”

Bada..,
Surprised they havnt released him rather than pay
People posting chemistry jokes are just trying to get a reaction.

canamalar-well and truly stitched up,for an untried youngster,a fait acompli..
Celtic- a club that is open to alkynes.
Bada,
I disagree. I think it’s a fair fee.
Its only 204k more than they got for Kane hemmings. ;p
I wonder how much the undisclosed fee was they got for Rory Loy was?
Damn cross border thingy
There used to be a butcher in Barrhead called Morrow who had a sign above his shop which read:
“Come to Morrow for today’s dinner!”
Now, I don’t want to be BORON on the blog but why don’t we just get IRIDIUM by calling in the COPPERs and getting them to ACTINIUM on the widely known fact that their club has been run by series of BERKELIUMS who are about as straight as Ronnie Biggs and who have ran of with nearly every last NICKEL and all the GOLD and SILVER that the poor folk had.
Now they constantly have to put the TIN around via the stock market.
Not only that, it should never be forgotten that David Murray was trying to SELENIUM for four years but he couldn’y DYSPROSIUM.
Then we Craigy came along and made sure that they were bumped out of EUROPIUM for the foreseeable future and HAFNIUM have never turned up for a game since.
All of this comes about because of a RADON Ibrox when the Police discovered undisclosed side letters which HASSIUM bang to rights with the tax man.
Bringing in Alistair Johnstone from CALIFORNIUM and AMERICIUM didn’y CURIUM the failings of the board, although it has to be said that big Alistair was hardly EINSTEINIUM!
They LEAD Scottish football right up the garden path and there is every possibility that the new club will ZINC without trace in the near future when they finally run out of financial OXYGEN.
The whole thing has just been a SILICON perpetrated by crooks and it has caused many people to SULPHUR.
The SFA need to IRON the whole thing out but that organisation is ran by a shower of ARSENICS.
If their tribute team do run out at Hampden Celtic should just get INDIUM and knock about 6 past them.
That would be BERYLLIUM and would no doubt RUBIDIUM up the wrong way and be almost to much – in might in fact BARIUM!
Anyway, I must go and do some work I can’t stay here making this stuff up all day I have better things to do with my time.
Of course all of this is written with my TUNGSTEN firmly in my cheek and the other lot can go and get it RHENIUM.
Yours

Noticeable that JC is talking to the press a bit more these days. I think after a number of months in charge Ronny & John now have their minds thinking the same way and John takes on some of the press duties when required. Everything at the club now seems to be settling down. I think Ronny is now settled into the role and the results in the main are positively reflecting that. January ins and outs are huge for me as I stated previously.

I just hope the right moves in and out are made in the window. The treble is within our grasp this season. I have not seen one side in this country who can come anywhere near Celtic at their best. I think we have yet to see the best of Ronny’s Celtic.
Good times ahead.

With that composition, just as well they have Super Alkally in charge
BRTH,
Could you please tell me where this butcher, Morrow, was located? I’m b&b Barrhead and have never heard of him.
Thanks,

I don’t know the answer to your question as it was a pal from Barrhead who told me.

Damn – 10 years in Industrial Chemistry and missed an afternoon of chemistry jokes ! Well it was a while ago Merlin taught me Alchemy actually – easier then, as only 4 elements (earth, wind, fire and water) , but did come across this one ….
Administratium; (Ad)
A major research institute has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. This new element, which has been tentatively named “Administratium”, (Ad), has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0.
Administratium has 1 neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 111 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson like particles called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Weak interactions between neutrons and morons are mediated by Intermediate Vector Boson W and Z like particles, the bureaucratite heavy particles called the inactive Wanker and Zhyster type Bozos.
Some idlers in this field believe that bureaucraticle heavies (bureaucratite particle (peon+)) are only inactive Wanker boZos. Peon_ bureaucraticle heavies do not exist as there is nothing for these control freaks to do and they therefore move in ever decreasing circles until they disappear into a mini black hole in the back office (or orifice according to some authorities).
Since Administratium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact: i.e. a minute amount of Administratium causes one reaction to take over 4 days to complete, when it would normally take less than a second. Administratium has a normal half-life of 3 years; it does not decay however, but instead undergoes a reorganization, in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons and assistant deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Administratium’s mass will actually increase over time since each reorganization causes some morons to become neutrons forming isodopes one of which undergoes decay downsizing to the small element called Bureaucratium, also thought to become dense with Administratium to form a complex that inhibits all reactions totally by forming an impervious networking barrier. This is notable as the only fast reaction in which Administratium participates.
This characteristic of moron-promotion (isodope formation) leads some scientists to speculate that Administratium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as “Critical Morass.”
Researchers at other laboratories indicated that Administratium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points such as universities, government agencies, large corporations, and schools. The element can be found in the newest, best-appointed and best-maintained buildings

BDO are, of course, the liquidators of Rangers (1872) and I had good reason to be contacting them.
Good evening friends
What do you do with a sick Sevconian?
Ifyou can’t helium, and you can’t curium, then you might as well barium.
Hi
The Morrow butcher was in Garthamlock.
I was reading a book about helium,couldn’t put it down.
BTW don’t trust Atoms, they make up everything ;)

Heavens no! Let him continue to his heart’s content.
See that wee rat Walker ruminating in one of the links to newsnow that he is not sure whether VVD good enough to play for Arsenal or Tottenham.
Good in some ways in that ,given the sage that Andy is, it might put them off.
Irony obviously lost on him in that Du Wei could star in the Arsenal defence at the minute.

No comment. No denial.

I have no idea who puts material up onto the Sevco website.
However I understand that Mr Derek Llambias had something taken down rather sharpish yesterday.
Today I contacted the BDO Press Office about the change in the statement on the Rangers International Football Club (RIFC) website regarding the Telfer case.
BDO are, of course, the liquidators of Rangers (1872) and I had good reason to be contacting them.
I told BDO that I was in possession of information that a letter had been served on RIFC yesterday by them apropos the original statement on the website of RIFC/TRFC.
Moreover I told BDO that my sources informed me that the terms of said missive was that it instructed the two year old club to cease and desist making references to Rangers prior to the liquidation.
I then put the following questions to BDO in writing:
I understand that BDO, or legal representatives acting for BDO, communicated with Rangers International Football Club apropos this matter yesterday.
Did Dundee United FC or their legal representatives contact BDO apropos this matter?
A BDO spokesperson replied that:
“On this occasion, BDO does not wish to make any comment.”
You will note dear reader that a denial was not issued.
An old saying. Give them too much rope and they will hang themselves.

It certainly does and at some stage he may leave (indeed if he would rather be elsewhere then so be it).
What really annoys me is Walker talking VVD’s abilities down. As someone on here has remarked ex Tim’s cannot get a media gig unless they are scathing in their analysis of Celtic. Whereas ex players of the dead team are fulsome in their praise of the tribute act.(It must be a condition of their EBT’s).
Should be tight games tonight.
Barca don’t have a great record v PSG,
P6, W 1 D3 , L2.
Might go 1- 0, 1 -1.
Vital game for Citeh.who might struggle without Aguerro, as they did v Everton.
Roma were trounced at home by
Bayern. Don’t think they can be as bad again. Might go for the draw.

Nir ‘Biton’ Bitton joins a small list of Celtic men who seemed to have their name altered after they arrived.
Mark ‘Marko’ Viduka is probably one of the better known and nobody will ever forget the departure of Lou ‘Luigi’ Macari.
Any others?
