    SFA Compliance Notice, Updates August 2013 18a: Any employee of a member club who uses a figure of speech shall, at the discretion of the association, be charged with actually meaning it and given a damn good thrashing...metaphorically and financially speaking, of course. 18b: Pursuant to this, it should be made clear that this does not apply to intelligent, articulate managers such as Mr Lennon, but only thick Hun ones, such as Mr Brown.

    Previously it was his politics. Been told to calm that one down, have we? Fair enough, if you think the Easdales are going to bring stability you are entitled to your opinion. Quite why you think the kind of people we need on board, in both senses of the phrase, will be as impressed as you are by local transport tycoons with murky pasts eludes me at the moment. Ironically, coming from such an uber-Brit, this could come straight from a Communist Party manifesto.

    I don't believe MH & the current board have much chance when there are articles like that to tear them apart. Well said, indeed.

    Look at it this way Rab, every penny Jig gets is one penny less for Mr Irvine.

    No-one has laid a finger on Whyte yet, have they? Be a bit harsh on two guys who have actually put some cash in as well as buying shares if they got a malky while googly eyes remains free to stroll bandy legged around the departure desks of British airports unmolested.

    My first day working at B&Q in Paisley, the old one that got demolished. I saw the score on the TV's in Comet window a few doors along at teatime. Fucking lousy job, but that certainly cheered me up.

    This is true. When a certain kind of post comes up, my mind is irresistibly drawn toward mental images of big smelly piles of jobby, which inevitably make their way, via the sewer that is my imagination, into a reply. Although unlike Julia Kristeva and, presumably, you, I don't see bits of the human body as unhealthy, nor the occasional mention of them as an obsession. The arse is every bit as important as the heart, say. Now wash your hands.

    I would assume he is a Bluenose, but not of the fanatical variety?

    I don't see why any shareholder wouldn't have the right to have an opinion, which is what he has put forward. He's looking for a vote - hardly the actions of a dictator. Contributing to Scotland/UK? Aside from employing people I suppose. Perhaps he diverts their tax to his secret island in the Indian Ocean somewhere instead of the Treasury. And how do you get a ticket for this independance? Petty and proud. There's too much at stake for half-arsed effluence (there's two more for you) to stand unchallenged.

    Hurrah! Then I can reply with a message of hope & good cheer which will allow you to rest your sphincter. McColl is not trying to control the direction of our club. He's trying to get professional corporate accountancy inside Ibrox, to ensure the money that comes in & out is on the level and on the books. To be honest anyone who objects to that has to be the object of some suspicion, given what's been going on.

    The blog on Bill's professional homepage above is awesome. It's like a cross between Kim Il-Jung and Jack Glass.

    Just another point of clarification...bollocks.

    As much as I'd like that to be true the facts don't back it up. Bears buy the Record just as they always have done. It's us of the online community who are out of touch with the everyday fan, I think. I also think that those of us who are getting het up about the Record or Paul Murray are to a degree looking to be annoyed. Someone earlier on again accused McColl of shouting his mouth off, when the reverse is more accurate; having come to a compromise with the board, and then seeing that board's feeble attempt at shit stirring, he was obliged to respond. Failure to do so would have people worried about lack of transparency.

    Seems an odd target. Guidi is, even by the standards of Scottish football reporting, a nobody. All this does is give him a status on which he will, no doubt, earn a good living for decades to come. I'll wait and see what the rationale is - if there is one - but its going to have to be good to convince me this is the right way to go about bringing the media to heel.

    Meh, they always do. That's their sad lookout. If we ever get anyone on the board who supported the legal entity, perhaps they can deal with cretinous Tims. Interesting take on the IPO in that this dude seems to think it was at least as much Malcolm Murray as it was Charles who got the IPO money from the City types.

    Paul Murray on the board wouldn't bother me at all, and I think he did himself a lot of good with the report on Whyte. But apart from any other considerations, it would annoy the SFA and Timothy no end to have a - Christ, I've forgotten what they were called, those loan letter things - associated person on the board.

    Childish and desperate.

    Be fair, they also have "a extraordinary" and although I dunno for sure it looks like Mr Robertson's name is also misspelled. I don't know anyone called 'Roberton'. Add to that the awful, Sun-like language and you can probably put it down to someone at the Herald just being a shite writer. Or drunk. Or both.

    Because the superb digging work is spoiled by the swivel eyed religious stuff at the end.

    I hate to sound paranoid, but the writer of that piece is a chronic celtc apologist and about as objective on our future as Jim Spence. I'll take anything he says with a big old bag of Saxa. Added to which, it's all been said (and better) on here already. No need for this kind of parasite these days.

    You don't have to be a genius to work out some kind of pay off for the shares is needed, though.

    'We'll take Blin and McColl....but we don't want Murray!' Only a matter of time before Mather is heard muttering 'Aw, prairie shit! Everybody!'

    Kevin Kyle was superb on this subject on the radio tonight. No doubt it will be up soon. I grant you the voice of that wretched creature Spiers intrudes from time to time, but mostly it is Kyle lambasting the whole culture of gambling in the game; a culture which, he notes, the SFA are happy to embrace when it comes to trophy sponsorship & advertising. Apart from that, it's worth listening to just to hear Spiers pronounce 'coupon'. I swear he did it with a French accent. One man's complete alienation from the culture he feels qualified to pontificate on summed up in one little word.

    Might not be so bad if all that can be achieved is a wary toleration of each other (I should add that in my book, 'the governing bodies' = Timothy). Add a bit of spice! I know that, as weary as you rightfully point out we all are, when we get back on the front foot I will be ready to tear their throats out. As Bluedell has it, 'Never Forget, Never Forgive', and that goes for Regan and Doncaster as much as it does for Whyte and SDM.
