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……

Your commas may be in the wrong place but I’m sure your girlfriend isn’t! Your sense of humour hasn’t gone unnoticed by me…. my kinda wit ;-)
Still, I’d rather be seated when watching this game with you boys! Hahaa!

Yogi’s sannies were actually Big Billy’s.

The newspapers called them ” baseball boots ‘” at the time.
If my memory serves me well.
Might nip down to Brendan’s Bar on Saturday when it opens for the first time before the Don’s game.

There was some debate on it over on Twitter the other day, and the main protaganists from our side seemed satisfied that STVGrant at least was quoting from a different response to the one they had.
Semantic irrelevance `R us.
Jeez.

That’s probably wise, with some people You Never Can Tell.
But that’s me mixing my Smiths with Chuck Berry, so I’ll stop there before people start going on about ding-a-lings…
Hail hail.

Is that a line from the Ibrox version of “Teddy Bears’ Picnic”?

PMSL! Though, if anyone is going to know it would be one of our resident huns… ;-)))
Is it sneaky bum time yet???
Obviously we where the better team last Wednasday with a couple of Wee hick ups early on in the second half, but we got out of it and went on to win con vincingly that little wake up call in those few minutes was probably a good thing and will serve us well tonight, I see a draw, hopefully I’m right.
Saor…,
don’t forget to take a tin of carnation milk with you so everyone recognises you, keep it in your button hole oh wait, I’m sure its something like that. maybe you pour the carnation milk through your button hole, then everyone will notice you, aye that makes sense, that’s it, do that.

Afore your time.
Our defeat to Jock Stein`s Dunfermline in the cup final was the hardest defeat I can remember.
Bearing in mind the lack of success for many years before it.

I don’t disagree with that, but I would look at horses for courses tonight.
As far as the debate over speed, IMHO, it’s all about the first 3 to 5 yards. I don’t care who is faster over 100 yards (or metres) because it’s unlikely that 100 yard speed will ever be needed during a game!

‘Who was the fastest player in Jock Stein`s team ?
Over 100 yards , it was big Yogi.’

Only because he wore sannies.

I recall a game in the late 60’s (Boghead Park I think) where it was a feckin’ swamp and big Yogi had a pair of sannies on and played an absolute blinder!
Were they not called ” baseball boots ” at the time?
Any GB on ? Could you ask the gb to donate to a cross community project if they have any surplus from the current project?
The way to expose CT and other refs as hostile to Celtic is through stats and signicance tests. It would be possible to compare leagues of a similar size. Is it just the one club that gets penalties as and when they need them? How many free kicks are awarded around the box and such like. We all know the SFA and SFL are not friends of Celtic. I believe, through the use of stats , that bias can be proved. It would be a lot of work and a mind boggling amount of numbers. The actions of the ref could be used to condem him, Hail Hail
What say you? Yay or nay
