Sterling work by Chris McLaughlin at the BBC who brought us the news that Duff and Phelps have rejected a bid for Rangers from Brian Kennedy, the owner English rugby club, Sale Sharks. Earlier today Kennedy suggested the administrators get their act together and move towards appointing a preferred bidder.
A preferred bidder may now be identified, if not yet publicly announced.
I can imagine the process to whittle bidders down:
‘Tell me, do you own Ibrox Stadium or security and floating charge over it?’
‘No? Ah, that’s a problem, as we don’t have it either. Where do you propose to play matches?’
‘Forget that one, someone tipped off St Mirren.’
‘Don’t take that tone with me, we’re doing our best in difficult circumstances and we’ve not been paid a pound. Yet.’
Craig Whyte controls the security and floating charge over Ibrox. He provided Ticketus with security for the money they due on the season tickets they purchased, worth in the region of £40m.
Mr Whyte and Ticketus, or a proxy, are the only show in town – and that show is not a CVA. Everything else is just shooting the breeze at £600 per hour.

Good Morning Campers! Off up Glastonbury Tor and forget all hunnish garbage for a day. Felicitations and fraternal greetings to all bhoys & ghirls!
Hail ! Hail !
I must confess that I loved watching Chalie Nick in the early 80s.
Like many talented footballers, however, he suffers from the malaise of having all his brains in his feet.
“Pariah”
Etymology: From Tamil பறையர் (paṟaiyar), from பறையன் (paṟaiyaṉ, “drummer”), from பறை (paṟai, “drum”). Parai refers in Tamil to a type of large drum designed to announce the king’s notices to the public. The people who made a living using the parai were called paraiyar; in the caste-ridden society they were in the lower strata, hence the derisive paraiah and pariah. Now the term is used to describe an outcast in English.
Although the above definition is perhaps crying out to be Awe_Nawed, it kinda fits anyway …

On the eve of the weekend when Celtic may well lift the title, The Herald has FOUR articles about this evening’s tainted friendly at Ibrox. An unsurprising end to a quite shocking week.
Charlie Nick rhymes with……….?
Listen to James Richardson’s most recent Guardian Football Weekly podcast make fun of Rangers’ imminent demise.
The podcast panelists all laugh uproariously at the huns when it’s suggested that Rangers fans read Kevin McCarra’s new Celtic book – because they’ll need a new club to support soon.
At 31.23 minutes in.
Is today Extinction Level Event day for the orcs?

(This is a rhetorical question): Why do we still get annoyed at this sort of coverage?
I get past my own annoyance by thinking of the band aboard the Titanic …

Morning bhoys,
So Kilmarnock chairman Michael Johnston wants to cash in on Celtic fans hard earned cash whilst his club actively support a Rangers newco into the SPL!
This would be the perfect time for Celtic fans to send out a message of intent and stage a bhoycott on the day they win the league.
This would get worldwide coverage.
We could all celebrate back at Celtic Park after the game.

so brightly
it will blind you cos theres…..

…as Chomsky said, “propaganda is to democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state”…
Boys heading up golfie for some practice, the establishment will be trying to use all their powers to STOP Alex Thomson’s programme going out.
Stand strong Alex, as Phil said it’s the smoking gun we need to show once and for all what a corrupt organisation they are and that includes the media the SFA/SPL the lot.
Just read the drivel from Kenny Clark and Charlie Nicholas, disgusting stuff.
Fair enough we expect it from Clark; who the hell does he think he is speaking for the “silent majority” of celtic fans “embarrassed” by Neil? Personally, I couldn’t be more delighted with Neil and look forward to many years of success under him.
As for Charlie Nic, hard to believe this guy ever played for us; he sold his soul a long time ago and like Clark speaks for no one but himself, that big Arsenal fan that he is.
NEIL LENNON IS GOING NOWHERE. DEAL WITH IT SCOTLAND.
new article posted.

I finished reading Mc.Carra’s book last week and recommended it as a worthy addition to the Celtic lexicon.
It deals with the history of the club from the beginning to the present, through periods defined by nine significant Celtic people.
It hits the shops on the 6th. April,I think.
Worth buying, even though SFTB is struggling to get through Toy Story……sorry, Tolstoy!
Wouldn’t you pay ‘good cash money’ to be a fly on the wall the first time that Super Lenny comes face to two faces with Souper Nick ?
George Galloway – assaulted at an airport. Intimidated on a regular basis.
Alex Thompson – threatened with physical violence. Intimidated on Twitter.
Cardinal O’Brien – bullet sent to him by post. Threatening letters sent on regular basis.
Paul McBride QC – parcel bomb sent by post. Intimidated regularly.
Neil Lennon – assaulted, sent bullet (s), sent parcel bomb.
Let us also not forget those who have actually lost their lives. We even had the outrageous situation where a hun slit a young Celtic fan’s throat and then applied to serve his time in a Northern Irish jail as he considered himself a political prisoner!!
The list is much longer, but that will suffice for the moment.
Anyone who in any way challenges the superiority of the hun culture (fabric) in Scotland will very quickly become the object of derision, intimidation and physical violence – even murder. The animals who perpetrate this violence are the footsoldiers of the Masonic riddled RFC(IA), the MSM, the SFA/SPL, the Judiciary, the Police, the Business ‘Community’ and the Political Establishment.
Everyone of them has their part to play. They dont have to have meetings to organise themselves. They ‘KNOW’ what is expected of them. They are all members of the club – and you aint invited.
Some on here have compared the situation to the years of apartheid in South Africa. I remember those years and I remember a pivotal moment which changed everything forever in that country.
It was in a car park when a group of Dutch speaking, fat, bearded white supremacists were giving out to a young, black policeman. The policeman arrested one of them and put him face down on the ground. The others began to scream at the policeman and threaten him. The arrested man made as if to get up, as if, how dare you, I am not subject to the law. The young policeman shot him through the back of the head.
I remember the look of horror and shock on the faces of the dead man’s fascist friends. The incident sent shockwaves throughout South Africa and far beyond. The message was clear – you dont get to treat people like this any more, apartheid is over!
The enormity of the task which lies ahead for Scotland – dragging this cancerous society into an enlightened state – hasn’t dawned on most yet. I am not even sure that the cataclysmic demise of RFC (IA) will achieve what we hope it will.
Before we can even begin the debate on independence, a sea change needs to take place in our country. I am not optimistic that Scotland has the leadership or the will to even begin the debate.
I was recently introduced to a philosopher named Slavoj Zizek. He addressed a university in the US and began his speech by telling a joke. It was a joke about a serf husband and wife working on the land for a rich landowner. One day the landowner comes riding by and tells the man that he is going to rape his wife. But since it is muddy he tells the husband to put his hands over his balls so that they dont get muddy – while he is raping his wife. When he eventually leaves, the husband is creasing himself laughing. The wife is rightfully outraged and asks why her husband is laughing. The husband replies, “While he was raping you, I took my hands away. His balls are covered in mud!”
The university audience fall about laughing. But Zizek turns on them. “You see, this is the problem. To laugh at our oppressors is not an appropriate response. The appropriate response would be to take a rusty knife and cut that b*stard’s balls off!”
Here is a link to Zizek explaining the joke to another audience.

All the jelly and icecream stuff (and I am as guilty as anyone else) might be enjoyable and feel like a little victory. But we must also challenge loudly and clearly every single injustice perpetrated against us by these sick people.
Apart from driving a double decker bus through the ideology served up on here by Philsilvs and co, Zizek also provides a framework for challenging the present anti-Irish, anti-Catholic, anti-Celtic culture which exists in our country. He is well worth listening to.
For an extended version of Zizek’s views on the joke (40 minutes), see:
