Either way, I hope we've heard the last of him. Obviously he upsets the hun, which is no bad thing, but Cetlc fans are embarrassed. The comments are hilarious - 70/80% socks?
The only one worth reading now is thecelticblog - at least that author doesn't come across as some kind of self-appointed minor deity.
Phil Madeupname needs a spell checker. He also would have us believe he actually has a mole on the hun board. Aye. so you do.
Reminds me of when I worked at TEAMtalk.com at the start of my foray into journalism. I was struggling for a story to make up the numbers and my editor literally told me to 'make something up'. I did as I was told and it didn't feel good. PM and JJ have been doing it so long now that I don't think they realise they're doing it any more.
Terrible, especially as we have all been assured they are still the same club.Quote:

Gotta love the logic of 'the fans didn't like it so we tore them up'
Hearts will be looking at the outcome of this case with interest hoping they can do the same with a few coaching and playing staff contracts signed in the last 6 months.Quote:

Craftily omitting they were also 30 (yup - THIRTY !!) points behind Septic which, as everyone knows, the ONLY single solitary issue that matters to the Hun
St Johnstone are fair reeling them in now. Just three points the difference now and most likely stay that was after hun lose at Pittodrie tomorrow. How good would that be, given that it seems to be a given that hun were going to be allowed to play in Europe despite being in breach of just about every FFP regulation you can imagine.Quote:

Am I right in thinking that Sevco officially have a co-efficient of zero anyway?
Chance are that, at that point, NA meant "not applied". Given that both Rangers and Hibs were still in the same league, albeit still in the Cup, there was no need to apply.Quote:

WHYTE IN COURT Jury at ex-Rangers owner Craig Whyte’s trial has been asked if they are Gers supporters ahead of the case
The businessman faces two allegations relating to the 2011 acquisition of Rangers and arrived at the High Court in Glasgow this morning
THE jury at Craig Whyte’s trial has been asked if they are Rangers supporters ahead of the case.
A panel of eight men and seven women were chosen from potential jurors yesterday (Thursday).
After selection they were read the two charges against 46-year-old before being sworn in.
Whyte faces a fraud allegation over his 2011 takeover as well as a charge under the Companies Act.
But before evidence was heard Judge Lady Stacey asked jurors to consider any connections to the club
She said: “First of all do you know Mr Whyte personally or do you know anyone personally who you think is going to be a witness in this case?
“At the time between 2010 and 2011 were you a shareholder, a bond holder or a season ticket holder in Rangers?”
She said any juror who found themselves “in difficulty” could tell her clerk. Following a short break it was confirmed no jurors had to be replaced.
No witnesses were called to give evidence today and a joint minute – agreed facts between the prosecution and defence – was instead read out to jurors.
This contained 19 points mainly consisting of details of organisations – including Rangers, banks and law firms – mentioned in the charges.
The first witness is expected to take to the stand tomorrow.
It is alleged Whyte pretended to then Rangers owner Sir David Murray, and others, that funds were available to make all required payments to acquire a “controlling and majority stake” in the club – including clearing an £18million bank debt, £2.8million for the “small tax case” liability, a £1.7million health-and-safety liability and £5million for the playing squad.
The Crown alleges Whyte had only £4million available from two sources at the time but took out a £24million loan from Ticketus against three years of future season ticket sales “which was held subject to an agreement or agreements being entered into between the club and Ticketus after said acquisition”.
The second charge under the Companies Act centres on the £18million payment between Whyte’s Wavetower company and Rangers to clear a Bank of Scotland debt.
Wearing a dark suit and red tie, a clean shaven Whyte listened to the proceedings from the dock.
He is being represented by Donald Finlay QC at the trial at the High Court in Glasgow, which is expected to last 12 weeks.
The Crown, led by Alex Prentice QC, are expected to open their case this morning.
Surprised he didn't ask if any of them were Celtic supporters, or do you think that would have no bearing on proceedings?Quote:
