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……

Sectarian vandals strike at St Aloysius school
Police were called, after anti-Irish graffiti was sprayed on the wall of leading Catholic private school in Glasgow.
The vandals used red spray paint to write the anti-Irish message, ‘the famine is over, it’s time to go home’ on the wall of the school.
Police were called to the school at 9pm last night. The graffiti was cleaned off the wall this morning.
A police spokesman said: “At around 9pm yesterday, August 21, the police received a report of vandalism outside the school on Hill Street. The incident is being treated as a hate crime and enquiries are ongoing.”
A spokesperson for St Aloysius’ College (above) added: ‘Graffiti was discovered on the Dalhousie Street side of the main building on the morning of Monday, August 22, following the weekend. The matter was reported to police and enquiries are ongoing.The graffiti has now been removed.”

The Exiled Tim.
That sums you up. Your wife is not in the best of health yet you take time out to send me good wishes.
I hope if an operation is necessary that it all works out well and that she can enjoy a long and happy life with your good self.
Hail Hail
A wee prayer offered for all CQNers with a medical condition and for any members of their families battling illness.
Hope El Diego Bhoy is doing well in his battle for health.
Hope blog spends the rest of the night on football related topic and the Bhoys do us proud tomorrow night. Signing off for the night. HH

Maybe other Tims are following suit…..Be`er Shiva have come in from 10/1 to 8/1 with William Hill ( To Qualify).
Goodnight all.

Attend you gallant Irishmen and listen for a while,
I’ll sing to you the praises of the sons of Erins Isle,
It;s of those gallant heroes who voluntary ran
To release two Irish Fenians from an English prison van,
The first Irish Rebel Song I ever learned.
Still love it and it still brings me to tears.
I’d be happy with the dullest 0-0 draw tomorrow… I’d still be nervous in injury time
For those that go by the mantra that the bookie is seldom wrong,
best price available on Celtic to qualify is 1/14,
you can get 17/2 for the Israelis
JJ
Is CQN not real life?
An OASIS in a desert of Hunnery.
No.
I must be in the wrong place.
Oh well. Seems the Trolls and cretins have their place with their innuendo and slurs.
Still. I’m here to shine some dark on their light.

Hrvatski Jim,
The vile graffiti was removed almost immediately. That isolated incident is a measure how far Glasgow has come, compared to years ago when sectarian graffiti was common place and stayed for years.
On another note: Following a discussion a week while back: Does the end everything justify the means?
HH.
If anyone looking in is in contact with Mountblow Tim, could you pass on the message I was asking for him.
I sincerely trust he will have a celebratory evening tomorrow night watching some professional, champagne football.

Trying to drag the blog back to football less than 24 hours before possibly the most important game of the season…
It’s a strange one. When we were doing shoite under Ronny there was far more fitba talk on here ,albeit of the negative variety, but at least it was fitba talk.
Now it’s Trolls trolling and genuine tims getting dragged in, the end result being a shift of focus away from the amazing things taking shape at CFC.
Welcome to the world lovely baby Grace.
Surely a better omen for tomorrow we could not have asked for.
Apologies guys, predictive text running riot.
Should have checked it though.
HH.

Cracking, accurate post.
This time tomorrow. We will be pulling out of the qualifying station and looking at a pot full of spondoolicks we can spend on wee Paddy….
Oh hoopy days ….

If Rangers were to match a fine for singing the Billy Boys who would they donate to?

I don’t drink during the week, usually.
I have a wee selection of beers in my garden shed fridge. I pick up a couple of different beers, lagers, real ales, every now and again.
Tomorrow night I will be having a wee bevvy.
Not to calm my nerves or anything.
Just because I want too.

You’ve probably given them an idea there. It’s about the only thing they haven’t used to fleece their adherents.

Totally agree, you expect during the close season for the blog to talk about other subjects and to be honest it can be enjoyable reading different stuff. The problem at the moment is the total lack of civility from posters which causes more bitterness and name calling. It’s like being back in school.
WITS
Thank you for that.
I’m crying now as I type this!
God bless the Rebels!

Perfect reason.

Themselves….
Just hung up the dog and bone, work appointment cancelled tomorrow afternoon.
Decided time will be better spent in the company of two mad, nutter Albanians who have cause recently to, out of the blue, declare themselves “Fenians” in a broad accent.
Spirits shall be consumed.

TET-JNP-EDB- Good luck to you all, good health to baby Grace and mum HH
Huge game. Win it and we will, I think, invest. That should give the support a further injection of motivation. Think we will be fine over in Israel. About time we propel ourselves forward after some inept years. I am actually getting excited about the club again.
Do the wash hand basins not contribute to charity. ( not got a clue what ones)
Does that make them good guys?
