So why go to court when you know you have signed up to a rule (literally) that forbids you from going to court and that will almost certainly lead to your expulsion from football?
Because almost certainly being expelled from football is a better option than the alternative.
As Bob said: “When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose”.
They have nothing. Nothing.

It’s been great to catch up. I was travelling all week and had very limited internet access. Seems Apple might have been a wee bit precipitous in removing the ability to connect the MacBook to the internet via a cable.
It was like there had been a massive party and that I was the only guy not invited. It felt like 1979 again.
Chic Young, seriously? As if he couldn’t become more of an embarrassment
It’s performances like that which is why sites like CQN, RTC, Celtic Underground et al exist. No faith at all in the MSM to ask the questions that need to be asked? Ask them yourselves!
Daly sounded utterly astounded when Chic was advocating the Huns hiding evidence lol
AndyGoram is undoubtedly a Grade A moron.
ranjurz at CoS on tuesdsay:
Goram on now: ‘Mr Struth….as long as we get the tranfer embargo lifted..it can’t get any worse…we’ve taken our punishment…I’ve no idea what’s going on there…nobody knows what’s going on’
‘I was that bitter a few months ago….’ SKY, blah blah blah!
interview with a moron!
Can someone ask Sky a straight question.
Will there be a tv deal on the table with no huns and if so how much?
Then we can talk about perhaps reshaping the distribution and get a realistic figure for what the change would mean to clubs.
But I would still argue that sporting integrity comes first and losing money may be the price to pay. Otherwise you are condoning cheating – and purely because you indirectly benefit from it.
Andy Goram was sinister. All the threats of retribution against anyone who is instrumental in Rangers getting their just desserts. What a dreadful, dreadful club.
Celtic_First – you need one of these…?

Does anyone know how many subscriptions Sky has in Scotland at the present time? What kind of numbers do they get?
What would the practical consequences be if Celtic supporters – every Celtic fan – who has a subscription, threatened to cancel it unless this situation was clarified?
Please note, this is simply threatening to cancel unless there is a statement from Sky clarifying their intentions vis-a-vis Scottish football, with or without Rangers.
Does an idea like that have mileage? Would that force other club’s fans to the same action? Would that get us clarity?
Can I bring up the night 3 mounted police charged down Janfield St battering us Celtic fans with their batons when there was no trouble.
Always wanted to meet and shake the hand of the guy who thru the screw tap!! lol
Goram is a moron.
However, he makes Chick Young look like a frickin’ genius.

Yup, Jim Spence seems to know that the SPL can no longer hold the line.
Somebody said the SFA were incandescent at Rangers going to civil court and I get the impression that football is now fed up with Rangers and the end is nigh.
Just a wee push asking questions of the SFA might be enough to draw the curtain.

I had thought of that as well James, however I think SKY will want to avoid making any statements which could be seen as coming down on either side of the argument, they could potentially face a boycott either way, by staying neutral they can justifiably avoid risk – don’t know if trying to force their hand would work.
Irrespective of that, the Huns are about to die, there is more bad news coming for them, there is a chance there will won’t even be a newco next year, if there is there is the potential for so much litigation they can’t play at Ibrox and in all likelihood won’t be in the SPL. Why would sky risk getting involved at this point?

Emdae hear anything abt Wee Oscar today?
Marrakesh Express at 10.13
“A month after the Lisbon game I went to Belgium with the school.”
I don’t know your real identity on here but I was on the same trip to Wenduine with St. Dominic’s- my first ever trip outside of Scotland or Ireland. My first ever taste of real Coffee and Continental Rolls.
The guard on the train was a Crewe Alexandra supporter who tried to convince us that Crewe were better than Celtic.
Wenduine was Belgium’s equivalent of Blackpool or Saltcoats but it seemed unbelievably sophisticated to me. Still managed to be quite gallus about it all because we travelled as supporters of the club that was European Champions.
Also got a book for a school prize presented by Jim Craig that June. I was too tongue tied to say anything to him.
Out to get some rays now. HaiL HaiL
bill struth and his ilk will be looking down and shaking their heads in disbelief
according to super hun goram, must of done that interview when he was hanging upside down.
RFCIA are a toxic organisation.
Thus they easily corrupt those around them.
I look forward to the remaining 90% that the BBC say lies beneath.
I look forward to the exposure of all that Barcabhoy promises.
Young, Goram and their ilk are an irrelevance, except that they pander to those other eejits who want to believe that this isn’t happenning to their club.
The remainder of the sane world know that this is bad, and suspect that worse is to come.
Some even know that worse is to come.
Where’s that Honorary Degree in Bampottery for Paul?

I don’t believe that SKY making a statement or declaring subscriptions in Scotland would make a blind bit of difference. Currently some SPL chairmen are able to use the SKY deal as an excuse for arguing in favour of a new hun being admitted directly back into the top tier, however, I think if SKY were to reveal such figures, these greedy self serving idiots would simply find another excuse to permit them in.

A couple of paras down.
Sky cannot insist on deals that take feet away from sporting integrity in the penalty box.
The BBC shouldn’t be giving the loyalist sympathiser Goram airtime, a complete and utter fool that represents everything that is wrong with them.
Chico still peddling the myth the old board were getting the debt down and not signing players, he must tell himself that classic in the mirror every night.
Really warming to Jim Spence though.

If that’s St Dominic’s in Castlemilk, was Mr Murphy still the head?
My teacher before your time was Miss Graham, and we had Mr Chalmers.
The Janitor (Mr Coyle?) ran the football teams.
Off out with grandchildren, ice cream, jelly and smiles.

Ah I know where it is now! Are you local?
Just drove my mother home having skirted round the large Bigotfest in Cambuslang today. Only realised I was wearing my Celtic top when I got halted at a crossing (no, not that kind).
Some eye catching sights. A lassie matching her new replica 1972 top with bright red Capri pants and, astoundingly, a fat guy in a Motherwell top which he matched clashingly with Union Jack long shorts.
Think I spotted Jean Paul Gaultier and Vivienne Westwood taking fashion notes.
BSM71 @ 14.29,
Spot on! Mind you, KL didn’t say that the USA is run by Jews: might have been a bit obvious.
Hi all,
I posted the following yesterday but was foiled again by Paul67 and a new article on more important matters, so hopefully you won’t mind the re-post:
I wasn’t even a twinkle in my Mammy’s eye in 1967 but the names of those Lions were as familiar to me in my childhood as those of any contemporary footballers were, thanks to my Granda’s stories.
A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to play on the hallowed surface of the Estadio Nacional, as a match was arranged by a UEFA lawyer between our team of mainly British ex-pats and his Swiss team.
Fate can be a strange thing though and is often delivered with cruel irony and that is certainly how mine arrived. On the morning of the match my excitement turned to horror as I learned that some eejit had decreed we should line out in the full England strip!!!!
Imagine my predicament. Here I was faced with the choice of playing on the ground where legends were born in the colours of the auld enemy..or not at all.
The other non English on the team hailed from Holland, Greece, Norway, Zimbabwe and Canada and, although a little perplexed at being asked to don the three lions, really weren’t all that bothered. Nobody understood my plight.
Anyway, a compromise was reached when I agreed to tog out with a crest cut from a retro Ireland tracksuit glued over the badge.
After the game I got to stand where Big Billy lifted the cup complete in my retro 67 hoops. The photo has pride of place on my Granda’s mantlepiece.
Just thought I’d share that wee tale today.

Any sign of Lumley and Prince Albert?

Re: The Sky Deal
I know for certain there is a clause regarding financial adjustment to the deal if there are not four Glasgow derbies every season. There is definitely no clause about Sky pulling out of the deal though.
Sky will not make any statement on this matter because they want the Huns in the league. This has nothing to do with Jim White working there or anything particularly underhand! It’s just, like almost everyone else in England the people at Sky are wrongly under the impression that the world will end if Rangers ((in any form) don’t exist.
So that is it. Less money on the table if no form of the Hun is involved.
RWE
Yes, the same St. Dominic’s. I was taught by Miss Graham who ran the netball teams at the school. I think Mr. Chalmers (no relation) went on the Belgium trip but I was not taught by him.
The janny that ran the school teams was Mr. Kelly. His boy Gerry was in my year. I played in the 3rd team who played in blue tops. But, in my defence, I was the youngest in my year group.
St. Dominics First and Second teams both won their leagues and cups while we finished 2nd in ours and lost our Cup Final. The school felt they were the Celtic of Glasgow primary schools, with all conquering teams. I have a picture somewhere of the 1967 St. dominics first team with the father of the recently freed Dunfermline player, Steven Bell, featuring alongside Peter McGoldrick who was in the same room as me on that Belgium trip.
Auldheid..,
no so long ago someone put up the sky deals with countries comparible with scotland in size.
Just about every other country had far better deals.
Sky already know they are broadcasting a corrupt competition, that reflects in the price.
Without the rotten mob, is new territory for both broadcasting rights and fair competition in scotland, back to the table.
chico reckons craig levein should get ‘two strikes and you’re out’. If Walter Smith was available….Jeeeeeeesuuuuus!
on chico’s logic how can he justify WFPLG? He’s hade more strikes than Linwood Chrysler!

They’ve been all over Cambuslang today, have never seen so many fat people in one place.I wouldn’t be surprised if the earth has moved off it’s axis and is travelling in a different orbit due to their excessive weight.
