The document from Uefa to the Resolution 12 team, which emerged online over the weekend, is genuine. The headline part of this correspondence was always going to be Uefa confirming that whatever errors or omissions on the part of Old Rangers and the SFA’s Uefa vetting process, no further action was possible as New Rangers are a “new club/new company”.
Priceless, I know, but a delightful wee surprise, though it was, the status of Newco Rangers wasn’t the purpose of Resolution 12. Res 12 was about SFA process and accountability.
There was a great deal of correspondence with media figures since the letter was produced. It’s probably worthwhile noting the chronology of correspondence:
Uefa wrote to the Res 12 team on 6 June, copying the SFA and Celtic. After this date Grant Russell at STV asked Uefa for an update and received pretty much the same information that was sent to the Res 12 guys, without the supporting “new club/new company” line.
You may be of the view that after receiving the 6 June letter, the SFA could have asked Uefa not to offer such information in future (the layers of this story are endless). We’ll never know, but the horse had already bolted.
As correspondence on Res 12 continues, the team decided not to attempt private conversations with Uefa while making correspondence public, which is why this leak didn’t come from the Res 12 team. But I’m glad it’s out. It’s the definitive and irrefutable reference point on the status of Newco Rangers, and it’s on Uefa headed notepaper.
I don’t expect I’ll be goaded about Res 12 online as often going forward.
While we’re on the subject of the SFA: Craig Thomson, take a look at yourself. You know this is not good enough. Your decision-making this season has been atrocious. James Forrest booking, for staying several yards away from the crowd after scoring a goal, was ludicrous, capping a multitude of errors this month.
If only people at the SFA were accountable. Which brings us back to the point above.
Getting nervous about tomorrow. So much on the line……

It just disny let up whatever it is.
Praising hun refs, condeming Celtic supporters, one thing for sure, it’s never in a month of Sundays a Celtic supporter, never.
I wonder how much the pay is ?
Must be worth it cos it’s relentless.
An Teach Solais: I checked for a recording as Gaeilge and could not find one. I found a translation but tbh I didn’t think it was very good.
I think we should lose the game tomorrow by 3-0.
This would guarantee Beer Sheva 3 more away games against top European teams.
The home sides could then organise a pro Palestine Flag display followed by a Green Brigade type Match the fine for Palestine fund raiser.
More worldwide recognition for the Palestinians and much more money to a very needy cause.
Imagine how much Barcelona fans would raise! Imagine the publicity.
Yes I will happlily agree to Celtic throwing the game.
Some things are more important than a football match.

Further to my point re. TD67 and the grooming of kids. His infatuation with this days more about him and his relationship with kids than it does anyone else. Sad little no mark.
But hey that is just my opinion.
MWD
Disgraceful hunnish comment to make.”Only your opinion”.Says a lot for your thoughts.Everyone knows what TD was meaning when he said”Grooming”Only the snidey bloggers used the term to mean what you are implying,You are a disgrace to this blog with that comment,but you are so far up your own jacksy you probably think “I done well there.Take those vile comments over to Hun Media.They love twats like you over there.

Pathetic, you’re bitterness is cringeworthy.
CORKCELT@8:17
Surely someone of your intelligence cannot support that arguement.
9/11, 7/7, Paris, Nice – these acts were overwhelmingly popular on almost every Islamic website in the world – does that make them right?
Surely the debate has got to be more cerebral than that.
Did someone fart?
MWD,
i would quite like to reply to Mats last post,
but i just wanted to check if you have copyright on using the word Dick for him,
not wanting to step on your toes like ;-))
Matts,
When you start something special it creates it’s own dynamic, it’s not about cobbling something together, an idea, a thought an action takes on a life of it’s own. Questioning people’s motivation is a fools game, it is pure conjecture and can’t be proved either way.
Pre-match I was against the demo, I was wrong.
It has given a huge lift to a beleaguered Community, now it has raised a fantastic amount of money to make a real difference in Aida. It has sent out a powerful message that football Supporters can be a powerful force for change. By their affiliations to Clubs Football Supporters are potentially more organised than most other segments of the Community.
I was always proud of The Green Brigade but this may have been their finest moment,
Please excuse the Pun.

ALMORE @ 8.28pm
Thank you. I managed to download, from where I do not remember, a translation into Irish. That was what made me think in the Commemoration Year that some artist might have recorded it as Gaelige.
Thanks for your reply and for all your hard work in facilitating that memorable trip to Dublin 2016.
Go raibh maith agat aris. Adh mor. HH

That’s a great idea. Only one with your foresight could dream that up!
And then Celtic might be dran against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League!

Tomorrows game has a huge bearing on our future.
Recent defensive lapses and recent history have me more nervous than i should be with a three goal lead.
Brendan is savvy so hopefully he has a formula to fix.
If we get through then a central mid should be our priority.
We should stay compact and use our speed to counter.
Mc Gregor lacks defensive positioning and Bitton prone to giving away fouls in dangerous areas and Liam still rash in tackle so central area is a worry.
Hopefully we can keep them higher up the field and retain possession .
TURKEYBHOY@8:29
Well said – I cannot believe that the best majority on here tonight can not bring themselves to condemn it.
and before the boringly repetitive GM buts in – I DID NOT call Celtic supporters a cancer and parasites – I did call the GB/TRUSS, a cancer and parasite on the body of Celtic – their behaviour is there for all to see.
SAOR ULADH….
Evening to you…I know your a great believer in self education….but I don’t,t trust Google translate….got into terrible bother the other week with their Zulu….so could you translate ‘braw’ and awfy braw into you good mothers tongue for me….many thanks in advance….
Braw.
Watching RT news and the Celts are getting regular mentions for their fund raising. Well done the GB, this is one of those times when you are reminded of your pride in being a Tim. L5 dobbers, gtf.
I’ve just passed my sigmoid and heading for the small intestine.
Didn’t realise how good a contortionist I am.
I’ll congratulate me. You can all join in now before I join Turkey over on his Vanguard site.

They get paid in Bitter oranges.
Mats. If you are equating a murderous atrocity to an event such as took place in Celtic Park then there is no point whatever in exchanging views. There are good & bad people in every Country and in every Community.
I just found it whimsical that some guy thousands of miles away who probably never heard of Celtic up to a few days ago made a post imploring Allah to give us victory tomorrow night. That is the only reason I posted about it, no ulterior motivation whatsoever.
Awe naw.
Thanks for sharing the good news. Grace, beautiful name, beautiful song and as you say beautiful baby. What’s not to like.

Glad your on. Thanks for your message. Genuinely appreciated.

Their pitch looks in good nick, so not a leveller, they’d need something like that to beat us.
They were good going forward last week, not so great in defence. I wonder if Brendan will play with that in mind.
JIMMYNOTPAUL
Hope your results are good.
I will remember you in my prayers.
Mats Nilloc,
i am amazed that not only do you know the % of people upset by the flag display,
but you also know what is popular on almost every Islamic website in the world,
you are indeed just a five carder

Your shit attempt at patter does not cover up for you being a fekin snide.Disgraceful comments I see not picked up on by “Your mates”on here.As I said,more suited to Hun Media.Now fekin do one.
Something must be brewing cos the intensity of the L5 contributions is now almost manic. Are they scared of the CL money coming our way or is it to deflect from the release of the `they are dead` letter? Somebody is paying them well for this.
Neustadt-Braw on 22nd August 2016 8:38 pm
Good evening sir,
I would be more than happy to attempt to.
As you may know translating words from English to Gaeilge is somewhat fraught with difficulties – for example we do not have a direct translation for the phrase F**k Off, it is the most popular one i am asked to translate. And although we have swear words they are not as acerbic as those found in the English language. And translating phrases verbatim is rarely successful.
But the word you have asked about, i would be quite confident that it’s origins are in the Gaeilge language.
Braw = Breá in Gaeilge
Breá:
Fine, excellent. 1. (Of condition, quality) Aimsir bhreá, fine weather. Lá ~ gréine, fine sunny day. Áit bhreá chónaithe, fine place to live. Obair bhreá, excellent work. Béile ~, excellent meal. Culaith bhreá éadaigh, good suit of clothes. Is ~ an t-ainm é, it is a fine name.
Awfy Braw:
You would just stick Go h-iontach before the word Breá and there you would have it.
I reckon Braw is a bastardisation of Breá, but i could be wrong…
Hope this was of assistance to you good sir.
Breá
:D
I really must be thicker than I thought, I was under the impression that the GB and the Trust were Celtic supporters, but obviously not according to our hun troll, they are the cancerous parasitic wing of the support.
I wonder what that makes the torys who are in situ in the boardroom, I dread to think.
Remember lads, its no use engaging with the dobber, they are probably on commission related to the number of answers they get. I also share the disquiet about TDs continued reference to grooming when talking about the group he hates. In my view that’s a Hunnish use of language.
Good Evening.
Here (if anyone cares!) is my latest “The Men Who Stare At Shoes”. It’s about the media REALLY not wanting to talk about that UEFA letter. https://theclumpany.wordpress.com/2016/08/22/the-men-who-stare-at-shoes/
And here is this morning’s offering. About Sevco being linked to Messi. No, really…

Thanks for your considered opinion, I’ll file that. It’ll be in the just another dick section.
Now have a lovely evening.
