Aye, sure, Dick Advocaat would like to sign Virgil van Dijk for Sunderland. Of course he would, but Virgil is very unlikely to go to Sunderland for a host of reasons. Many clubs have made inquiries about Virgil but the player has an understanding with the club.
For a start, he’s going nowhere until after the Champions League qualifiers are over with, and even then, player and club have agreed that only approaches from tier-one clubs will be considered. No disrespect intended for Sunderland, but a haul of one cup in 79 years leaves them well off the pace.
The prospect of Celtic being interested in Steven Fletcher, as reported in The Herald this morning, is unlikely to make any difference. If Fletcher is wanted it will be for the qualifiers, there will be no quid pro quo.
Virgil has two years left on his contract and there’s little prospect of him extending his stay in Scotland, so if Celtic decide to listen to offers in late August it’ll do no harm having as many English clubs as possible bidding portions of their TV bounty for the player. So let Sunderland bid away.
You and I have been working on the whole Mary’s Meals project for a couple of years now. It’s not a big part of any of our lives, but what we’ve done is a big part in the lives of thousands of kids we’ll never know.
Reaching the 1 million kids fed each day figure last month has reinvigorated the charity. It’s a worldwide phenomenon but incredibly started here in Scotland.
At midnight tonight a couple of guys will start to walk the West Highland Way, 96 miles, a 17 thousand feet ascent. They hope to complete the journey within 24 hours.
You and I know that not every journey is completed on time, some, sadly, will never be completed……… but these two are close to hitting their £6k target figure for Mary’s Meals before they set off. Go and give them a a couple of pounds, help drive them on to complete the task. Every £1 you give will feed a child for a month. A month! Tell me you’re going to do something better today and I’ll not believe you.

Agreed that was the glib and shamless liars plan ,Get sleekit tae crash tham into the wall,use jar jar binks and the union of fanjitas to boycott and starve the club of money relulting in the old board having to pull the plug leaving football coupon eyes King to pick up the carcass for a pittance, they never dreamed charlie boy green would get Ashley on board to maintain the cashflow for them due to onerus contracts:))))))))))))))).
As Paul hinted the other day if they start again it will be as 1st whatever and will have to cut a deal wae Ashley to use the name Rankers ,
AKA GUBBED :))))
get yer monkey workmate to put the wager in a sealed envelope up front :)))))))))))))))

Have the SNP ever apologised for or even admitted to their questionable origins?
Because I’ve missed it if they have.

67 heaven…
I reckon Michael Ashley has that corner covered…. Only liquidation can kill his contracts.

It wouldn’t kill the club though, would it?
That’s immortal.
Not sure what happens to all the hun IP rights that MASH have if they’re liquidated. I suspect MASH will still control them.
Quite a few empty seat at the tennis.
The French Open NEEDS a strong Rangers.
What a feckin place
2 gambling sites one cruise and a aftershave to read the blog

Apparently Sturgeon told the French Ambassador she wanted Djokovic to win.

He still owns them.
However, the demographic of Scotland is such that another club would start up calling itself some permutation of Rangers/Glasgow/The/Club/Football and the huns would follow that. They will tell you it’s the same club because the club can never die. That’s the situation we’re currently in.

As I posted here previously. One of the founders of the SNP was Cunningham Graham,reputed to be the first even remotely socialist to sit at Westminster. A promoter of women’s lib before it became trendy and an advocate of paying mps thus opening the doors to the lower classes being able to afford participating in politics at the highest level.
A right bastard he wiz, wizn’t he no.!
I wonder in its early days how well Scottish Labour’s credentials would stand up in the anti Catholic stakes?

Can’t see how that would benefit the SNP.
A Tory government though obviously benefits them.
And after all, for all we go on about the Tories, we didn’t mind so much about the economic side of Thatcherism, did we?

Just looking at the weather forecast for Glasgow tomorrow. My God, my God – I’m beginning to think there’s something in this Unseen Fenian Hand business.
But it doesn’t half make your jaw ache from perma-grin.
This wonderful place never ceases to amaze..
Now we’re discussing DNA sequence variations…SNP
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism
Apparently, “SNP density can be predicted by the presence of microsatellites.”
Makes you think

See if that other mob had season ticket money in
And they refuse to pay big Mash his £5m
A wee court action to ring fence this money for his loan,
What do they do next ?
Admin, big Mash is main creditor, so he is in control
Liquidate, he owns the IP, so they never ever ever return under this incubator they claim worked this time
Big Mash in control here, he owns everything, with only the stadium ownership still to be announced
Enjoy

Did Labour ever apologise for ending POW status in Ireland in 1976 which ultimately led to the deaths of 10 men on hunger strike?

Not that it matters to you but I have been impressed with many of your recent statements on here. However when you are talking about ” questionable origins”. Where do you want to take that? we were all born equal, our upbringing form us and our decisions define us, I believe that to be the case for political and social groups also.
You will probably scroll past but I question what pleasure you derive from constantly asking questions merely to be confrontational. Like you I despair where the Labour Party in Scotland has fallen to, big but…..they and others could see it happening, maybe they just didn’t care enough.

Hi Jobo, your recent comment about a 1 in 10 response rate seemed impressive to me. Anyway, if I can bear to stretch two feet as I pass in way to fridge I will pick up remote control and switch from Simpsons to Scotland game. Is it an 8pm kick of f?
