News that a new company, “Glasgow Rangers Limited”, has been registered today with an address matching a waste management company in Buckinghamshire, has delicious irony but in itself means little. After Rangers owner, Craig Whyte, laid out all sorts of medium-term scenarios for the club in media interviews last week a land-rush for fresh rangers intellectual property, including a company name, should be expected.
If those with secured property rights over Ibrox are busy forming a new company, they are unlikely to be the only ones.
Still, waste management. It’s perfectly scripted.

Counter tenners eh BrogoRogoTrevogoHogo?
I’ve just advised my lawyers, whom I can’t name because… Just because, to triple fiver sue you. I should be being away somewhere being private and rich instead of having to defend my pristine, unblemished yet undefined character. If it wasn’t for the fact I don’t like people to know things about me, I would let you know a thing or two about me. Not least of all how I’m so rich, although I don’t like to share that information or give rise to rumours or certainty to the notion that I’m a bongdillionaire. Which I am. Only I’m not confirming I am. But I am really. So there.
And if you even begin to think that I’m not worth bongdillions then I’ll sue your mind for the intellectual rights to the intellectual thoughts you might have about me. Or my bongdillions. And then I’ll know if you’ve ever watched the BBC.
And if you have?
KABLAMMO!
Sued!

Aye but becoming a hippy once you’ve acquired the bat cave doesn’t really count :)
HamiltonTim ,
surely TET is living the ‘flower-child’ life ? – thermal heating , solar energy , celtic crest on the floor of his pool , attentive wife serving cold cerveza on request (it would be ‘on demand’ but he’s chillin’ ) .

Lucky you. I am looking to invest in a panic room to keep the Bovril household safe from the Walking Dead should the bomb drop. Saw one going cheap on the South Side that apparently doubles as a war chest, but the ad has been pulled. Perhaps the owner realised he may still need it.

Reflective serenity doth not a hippy make :)
However, had that been a big dooby the good lady was delivering, I may have reconsidered.
Personally, give me a beer :)
HT
If only, for my sins, was an old hippy long before the bat cave.
That is the reason I live in a cave :>)
Many years ago I had a wee prob with the family, re the hippy thing,the only wan who understood was my Da, never let me down, I moved away, never saw the family for many years, and me da was the only wan who I kept in touch with, he was a diamond, a true gent and a true man, never had an inclination for football, he always told me he had eough trouble supporting his family, not enough time or energy to support a football club,for that I admired him, and if the truth be told, I should never, ever have become a Tim.
Brought up in te north east, sheep land, but my Da never ever hindered me, and he gave me my life that I now live.
Sorry for the rant, Da’s are special, mine was, just like your was.
Sanna
Aye got me sussed :>)
HT , dooby ?
must be geographical
Bong !

Started posting tonight thinking that I would get away from the horrors of the last few days. This is a Celtic site and most of the time we come on here to talk about a special thing that binds us all.
Listen do you have a minute or are you off to the cave?
If you have the time, I’ll tell a tale.
TET ,
I just imagined how I would like to live my life and indulged in a spot of transference (transcendental obviously).

Heh
I just registered 2 companies online and it cost me a fiver thereabouts.
Huns R Us Limited
and

A combined value 5 times that of Rangers.
Mark my words. One day these names will be worth a MILLION pounds.
Wee Bridie, my mother, has just announced that she liked Harold Wilsson.
She has no time for Blair or Cameron.
Gordon Brown was one of her favourites.
More news as I get it…
After a couple of posts from earlier I had visions, (they help block out the voices) of torches and pitchfork bearing Hun hordes storming Castle Grant to tear the owner apart.
Wanting to find out where the keep was I looked it up in Wiki and found the following:
The original tower was built in the 14th century by the Clan Comyn of Badenoch. Originally a Comyn Clan stronghold, clan traditions tell us that the castle was taken from the Comyns by a combined force of the Clan Grant and the Clan MacGregor. The Grants and MacGregors stormed the castle and in the process slew the Comyn Chief – and kept the Chief’s skull as a trophy of this victory. The skull of the Comyn was taken as a macabre trophy and was kept in Castle Grant and became an heirloom of the Clan Grant. (In the late Lord Strathspey’s book on the Clan, he mentions that the top of the cranium was hinged, and that he saw documents kept in it.) Clan tradition predicts grave things if the skull ever leaves the hands of the family – prophesying that the Clan would lose all of its lands in Strathspey.
Is it possible history will repeat itself?
‘GG
Wee Bridie on the death of Rangers…
She doesn’t like it.
Like when King George VI died.
And Pope Pius IV is dead.
Now Rangers are dead.
She doesn’t like her old certainties being gone, but they are.
What will she see tomorrow?
By the way, she HATES remembrance Sunday.
She hates all the war stuff.

Yeah, that’s exactly what it is.

It is not often I find the time to go back and look for a response, in this case I made the time becasue I think it was important and worth it.
I personally take a lot from your posts and tend to agree – with more – rather than less of what you have to say. You often articulate well the more ‘unsavoury’ issues that are a part of, or associated with, the Celtic club in particular and the Celtic demographic in general. Warts, boils plukes and all are often part of your content and I value that; however for me, just for me, I didn’t like it when you attached a quantifiable level of intellect as a prerequisite to the value (and subsequent credence) of individual posts and/or posters. Those posts which had that degree of snobbery running in their veins were the ones that I found grating.
Other than that I find your perception and angle of approach a tonic. Lacking your diverse input and willingness to grasp the nettle (and that of others too) – the blog is the poorer.
As I said, if it means anything, I’d rather you posted than not, whether I agree with what you had to say or not. I read the blog much quicker without you posting, that is not a good thing to my mind. Most important of all you should not deny others your intrepid bottle… the demographic needs that more than anything whether it comes wrapped in sackcloth or silken robes, whether the message is popular or not, the courage of an unprejudiced voice is priceless.

So what you are articulating in a fluent, sophisticated, erudite and voluminous way is “quit being a pansy” ?
With 7 billion people now, together with modern communications we need to get the verbality
down to sign language. Otherwise with smartphones,ipads, email, spam, facebook, twitter, TV
and people either knocking or pissin on you’re door its going to be hell.
I dont have the bandwidth as it is.
Yes no maybe bring a friend next.

was sorry to read of your loss mate.May he rest in peace. Dread the day my rock passes on.

Margaret,
Good to see you safe home and back to doing what you do best… unique and original posting.
I think he has a lot to offer and if he takes a wee bit of abuse along the way he should take strength in his conviction.
This league is our league.
Good morning friends from a dark and drizzly East Kilbride. Metaphorical rumblings of thunder in the distance though.

Good morning from a dark and chilly Rebel County…
Good luck to the Bhoys tonight. Any old win will do this Tim fine.
Off to Wesht Kark….

COUNCIL STAFF FACE SECTARIAN ABUSE INQUIRY
by GERRY BRAIDEN
The Herald
TWO council workers are being investigated by the police and their employers over allegedly posting sectarian comments on social media sites.
Both men are employed at Stirling Council and are understood to have posted anti-Catholic comments on Facebook.
The pair, both employed in the building services department and in their mid-20s, were brought to the attention of Stirling Council after a complaint. It is understood the sites mentioned they worked for Stirling Council and carried the authority’s livery.
The matter was also referred to Central Scotland Police, which is now also investigating the incident.
Neither the police nor Stirling Council would confirm the pair’s names but on one social media site one of the men is seen singing the anti-Irish ‘The Famine Song’ at Ibrox, now banned at the stadium.
A spokeswoman for the council said: “A complaint was received concerning the alleged misuse of social media by two members of staff. This is being dealt with using the council’s normal HR processes.”
Central Scotland Police said: “Two men aged 24 and 25 are the subject of an ongoing police inquiry and it would be inappropriate to comment further.”

When it comes to fire-fighting, the SFA have had plenty of practice recently. Reading Brogan and Auldheid’s latest articles, there’s another shedload of trouble on its way.
Huge game tonight, especially given our injury crisis and poor LC record at Easter Road.
Izzy, Loovens, Mulgrew, K.Wilson, Brown, Commons, Samaras, and Bangura all out.

Any kind of win will do, win tonight and we’ll have as good as won the cup.
Dear Mr Whyte
A number of years ago I purchased on behalf of a friend one of your bricks for his 40th birthday. My question is simply if you intend to close Rangers FC and turn Ibrox into a Lidl do you think it would be possible for me to collect said brick as I firmly believe that for sentemental reasons the brick my serve the purpose of reminding my friend that at least he’s got a friend. A friend who never liked his club but never shut it down.
Your early response is appreciated.
Morning all from gay Paree, weather is pleasant enough: 14C with a chance of a shower or two.
Obviously, hoping for a win tonight to push us another wee step forward in our quest for the quadruple.
;o)
One for the financial chaps.
Morning all from a dreary North Ayrshire.
Have they gone to the wall yet? Please Ghod, let it be today.
Yet another superb piece from RTC.

Re you’re post last night at about 9:45pm and on the following page:
No mate, anybody that knows me on here will confirm that I’m not a bully, but you’re post which informs of rumours about our management team, is no more than the work of the laptop loyal.
My point was that if you firmly believe the rumours to be true then speak to you’re friends about it, don’t publicise on a Celtic internet forum…… that’s what I posted, any reference to bullying by me …. Yir joking pal!
I’ve been a member of the Celtic club, London rd since I moved to Blackpool in 2001, I was in there first game of the season with the GB and was in the office for a chat with Eddie Tonner of the CSA. I’ve made other arrangements for Sat. but happy to meet any other time, always look to meet good tims :>)

I see the huns have got themselves a big strong lad to play up front.
Meanwhile, we got **ck all !
Totally useless management from top to bottom.
In work a bit earlier this morning. Yesterday, a guy blagged his way into my block of flats, saying he was a workman. He went into the basement and ripped out all the copper piping, which has deprived all the residents of any water supply till later today.
A suspicious looking man with a rather glaikit, pasty looking face and brown brogues was seen acting suspiciously in the area at the time.
