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……

You Awe_Nawed_it from…… In comparison to Sir David Murray´s jet which he used to use to regularly fly in proper top class signings it is a bit of a banger but airworthy.
Nicely Done CSC
Re The Green Brigade Demo. Pre-match I was opposed to it, when I saw it on telly, I was never so proud to be a Tim. I was wrong pre-match and I feel bad about it.
This demo could be a catalyst for change, Football Supporters in Clubs all over the world are hearing about this and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some support from other Club Supporters at the various other European venues this week. If enough Club’s Supporters get on board it might force UEFA to reconsider what is acceptable and what is not.
Having said all that I totally accept that Tony Donnelly and other top Tims here who still disagree with what happened are totally within their rights to hold & express their views. Nothing is ever totally black or white, there is a case to be made for either side of debate.
Personally I would like the debate to be shelved until after the game tomorrow but if it is to continue can I plead for mutual respect from either side.
Re Tomorrow’s game if we were meeting these lads in a one off game over there starting at zero I would back our Bhoys to win so why the Hell do I feel so nervous when we are starting with a 3 goal lead. With the obvious exception of sending too many up for corners or free kicks, I feel we should play our own natural attacking game & go out with the plan to win the game out there.
Given Brendan’s comments re the need to press and defend, one would conclude that the Celtic careers of Muldini and Kris are at an end.
Not good enoughs would include efe, Joe hansen and Cifti
To be reviewed once fit would be Boyata, Jozo, Erik and GMS.
One keeper must go, Fasan?
Jury out, Christie, Henderson and Armstrong, all because of the competition they face for places in their preferred positions.The others are better.
8 – 12 out if possible.
So,
CG, DDV, LB
Lustig, Janko, new signing
Kolo, O O’C, Erik, Jozo
KT, Izzy
Broonie, Bitton, McGregor, new signing
Paddy, Jamesie, Tom R, SS
Griff, Dembele, new signing
Plus one or two from Christie, Armstong, (my picks), GMS and Liam.
Too much time on my hands waiting for tomorrow night’s match. Bricking it though I fancy a score draw.

BOURNESOUPRECIPE. Fella no I dont see myself as the prophet of doom I assume I am like most other CQN posters and that is cautious about tomorrows game and when a team loses daft goals I think I am right to be cautious.I sincerely hope we get any kind of result that qualifies us for the group stages of the C.L.I am also genuinely concerned that the away support get drawn into conflict and I think that is a sensible concern.On the Sparky post I was corrected by other posters which was fine so your prophet of doom is well wide of the mark but if it is how you see me be my guest .

Don’t really have time to get into the ins and outs
However, I’d just point out that every manager since O’Neill has been appointed by DD.
PL interviews the candidates and negotiates their deal but the decision falls on the board. DD is the kingmaker.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Thanks for coming back,
So the Board/DD, accept/reject the recommendation of PL regarding our Manager.
That’s quite a lot of responsibility, especially given PL’s role in negotiating the financial package etc.
1)WGS wasn’t MoN still around when Gordon got the job?
2)Tony Mowbray ??
3) NFL, stepped up as a rookie on Mowbray’s departure. Did well.
4)RD, Wasn’t Roy Keane offered the role?
BR, something had to change.

HAIL HAIL and WELCOME to
GRACE.
Latest addition to the Celtic fold.
Welcome into the world, Baby Grace. You have started life well, a beautiful poignant name, a legendary Granddad & a Celtic heritage to be proud of.
May God keep you safe & well.
BOURNESOUPRECIPE at 6.47pm
Amen to that. A life taken too soon. But, the arrival of little Grace will be a joy to the family.
HH
Welcome Wee Grace, may happy times and strong vibes from your family be with you all of your life..
Granda will be watching over you…

How dare you post about soccer 24 hours from the biggest game
of the season.
Bit presumtious on Kris Commons and the Charlie Mulgrew situation is bizarre IMHO.
Really don’t know what he’s thinking about unless the contract offer has been withdrawn.
You forgot about GMS but I reckon he’s out along with his DU pals. Christie and Henderson I’d keep.
HH
p.s. and your new signing would be like a new signing
A wee tune for the new baby

Kitty,naw. You just see people with emptyish glasses and do the biz.
Of course,this glass-half-empty nonsense should now be a thing of the past so I’m expecting a cheap dayooooot.

I take your point with regards opposing views on the blog. But while posters such as TD67 repeatedly attack sections of the support with phrases including “grooming of kids” etc. or in Macjays case, plagiarise copy from Wiki but only extracting the parts of the potential non-factual articles/references that suit their agenda they will receive little/no respect from me.
Then there is Mats Nilocs (enough said).
They are dicks!

Who is wee Grace?
BMCUWP happy birthday to your mammy.
MWD
Favourite Uncle,
I do not know why I am bothering to reply to you. You clearly have a lot of growing up to do.
You do not know me nor what charitable causes I am involved in and yet you feel you can make a judgement on my humanity?
Try and calm down and engage your brain, if possible.

Good evening, friends. One more sleep ;-)

Thanks for that link to the beautiful song “Grace”. I always find hearing it sung very moving and poignant just as I do when visiting the little chapel in Kilmainham.
I asked a few days ago whether anyone has a link to the song being sung in Gaelic or know if a recording exists. Any response gratefully received. HH
BMCUWP
You make sue H does the biz for Bobby. It`s H´s memory I am concerned about. Nothing else.
I will fortunately be in Thailand
HH
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.

Do you guys deliberately wear shoes too wee for you?
————————
Ha, only last week some were accused of wearing big mad oversized shoes, accompanied by a red nose and an even madder multi coloured curly wig.
Some people can never make their minds up.

Found this version though and it’s stunning.Enjoy,my friend.
