I am no lover of Celtic but fail to see how anything they do can be classed as sectarian.
And there was me thinking that singing IRA songs was sectarian. Have they changed the definition of sectarian?Quote:

The truth will out - it always does. Makes denying them their first ever trophy on 21/5 that little bit sweeter when the MSM tell the truth about sevco 5088:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...-football.html
"Celtic and Rangers have not played each other in Scotland's top flight since the latter entered liquidation in 2012.
"Rangers were forced to reconstitute as a new club placed in the third division and have subsequently risen through the ranks to re-join the Premiership this season."

Of course bein telt yer a ton out of date, well cannae be that bad when what your held up against are so firmly stuck in their "1690" glory- But really huns & traynor & daily rangers, it ISNAE just us who you play against who see you as neanderthals. Really, the WORLD sees you as neanderthals- & not likeable cuddly neanderthals. when you embarressments die, the whole of Scotland, will be a much richer country for it.Quote:

Anybody serious about sorting out that club knows it needs administration to get rid of all the dodgy deals that have been done and also lose the debt that is already been built up. The only way to avoid that is to put a lot of money in.

Chris Sutton on Warburton today :
But Warburton first hit out at the "negativity" in Thursday’s media conference then attempted to put a positive spin on the County draw on Saturday – much to Sutton’s disgust.
Analysing Inverness v Celtic today for BT Sport, the Record Sport columnist said: "Bad management on the pitch, bad management off it.
Rangers boss Mark Warburton staggered by negativity after 5-1 Celtic thrashing as he blasts: 'Nobody died'
"They’ve just had their pants pulled down by their biggest rivals and he’s coming out moaning about negativity?
"The job’s too big for him in my view. This isn’t Brentford. This isn’t the City. And he’s coming out with "it’s the best performance of the season? Do me a favour!"
Kennedy has talked his talk for years. Ask Stockport fans, after taking over them the only walk for Stockport was off the end of the plank! A shyster who I really hope gets involved wi the huns. What is it about that club that they seem to attract the biggest cowboys going? Could it be the biggest crooks looking for the easiest targets, spot something in the huns, that us mere mortals cant?Quote:

Unless they are owe the tax man again then they are likely to get a CVA. Although that may not be the preferred option for them to make a clean break from the dodgy contracts.Quote:

OK, they'd be able to get rid of Barton, Senderos and Krancjar - a trio they obviously wish they'd never signed - but could see their better players walking also. That, and the points deduction will see them more likely to get relegated than win their, ahem, 55th title (!)Quote:

The season ticket money will last them until December and after that, the pot is empty. Ashley has effectively turned their usual (and not insignificant) merchandising revenue into an income stream for Sports Direct.
Nearly time to break out the popcorn again.

It all went a bit quieter on their problems for a bit so I assumed they were out of the woods. The main sticking point that I see them having going forward is keeping "the hordes" onside when they are clearly and palpably unable to compete with Celtic. This will probably play out next year when they can't sell enough season tickets.Whilst they might moan about their time in the lower leagues, they were still able to win every week. If they'd been parachuted straight back into the Premier and had to play with the guff that was left behind after their previous insolvency event then they'd have been pumped every week. Instead of having the fans rallying behind their club and their perceived injustice I reckon the new club would have already withered away and died (again).
It could have been us!! Lucky escape I think? From what I recall his entire business case for Hibs involved re-signing Darren Jackson...Quote:

Good question, and I don't have the specifics either. I do know, though, that a number of individuals (various Celtc bloggers - twats like Phil Wotsisname, etc.) but also actual media organisations have contacted the hun press office (basically Mangetout Traynor) looking for details and answer there came none. I'm also led to believe that Glasgow City Council have expressed concern about the three stands that went up in the early 1980s from a safety perspective, and that that concern is still 'live'.Quote:

Looking at Glasgow City portal it refers to the application in relation to a Football Match.
https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=17341
maybe it's because they have not got a completion certificate for the stand repair work. :confused:
https://publicaccess.glasgow.gov.uk/...=ODLE5LEX09500
that is the application.
Were the rangers fans not moved out a particular part of the ground a year or two back because there were parts of the stand at risk of falling?
Was a midweek game I think
There have been 3 Section 89s in the past year!!Quote:

Don't think so. All broadcasters have been using the same gantry in the main stand for, literally, decades. There's no reason I can think of why they would want to build a new gantry in the Govan stand (or at either end for that matter), especially as this would probably cause the whole lot to come crashing down around them.Quote:

He made his money in double glazing (Weatherseal), supposedly was a boyhood Hibby (but as I said, more rugby) and has Hun leanings through his brother in law (and doubtless the quantum of his ego :rolleyes: ).
Ibrox is certainly in disrepair and needs big money spending on it, which the glib and shameless liar clearly doesn't have.Quote:

Brian Kennedy was at the heart of this collapse. Remember that Hands-on-Hibs were chomping at the bit for Kennedy to take over Hibs,
His interests were always in Rugby Union and I was convinced that he was looking to buy Hibs to get his hands on Easter Road and use it for a new professional Rugby Union side which he hoped to put in the English Premier League. He did much the same with Stockport bringing in Sale Sharks. It never quite worked for Sale and they have since relocated to share with Salford Reds Rugby League.
Any truth in the rumor Kenny Miller has been arrested for assault? Looks to have been a scuffle after the 5-1 game.

Both JohnJames and Phil Mac are also reporting on the essential repair works needed to three of the stands at Ibrox. Rumours that Celtic are refusing to sell tickets to their fans for the next derby in Govan unless they receive guarantees from an independent engineer that the stadium roof is fit for purpose, apparently the mechanical joints that secure the roof are past their sell by date and require replacements at a prohibitive cost. There are suggestions that Hampden may be used as a temporary home for the Scottish cup runners up while the repair works are carried out. Glasgow City Council are also aware of this issue and may have a problem granting a safety certificate if their concerns are not addressed. Also reading from multiple sources that VAT payments from the first two quarters of the year are being demanded by the tax man but the money has all been spent on the new arrivals at the training ground now known as Jurassic Park. Great entertainment being provided again by the bloggers as the lessons of 2012 seem to be getting ignored while the methods of Murray, Whyte and Green appear to be on a loop. Loving it.
