McCall was probably the best we could get in the circumstances at the time he was appointed.

I quite like it...but I'd like to think it's not something that would affect us ie we'd never be involved in the middle section!

And also to be fair to McCoist, Green was always on about how much money we had, so his salary wasn't an issue for the first year or so.

It was an agreement that got them all out of a hole, the SA authorities didn't need to continue with the more serious charges which after 10+ years they hadn't proved, despite all the time and money spent, and King could move on and get on with business. There was no way he was ever going to jail.

Judges often say things that are nonsense and which then get contradicted by a higher court. Just because a judge called King something, doesn't mean it was the final verdict of the SA court system.

But were the charges serious? The joint statement with SARS described them as lesser counts....including failure to disclose information and failure to provide correct information. There are no overtones of dishonesty in either the statement or the charges. In particular he was not convicted of fraud or tax evasion or dishonesty. As regards his position on the board and the sale to Whyte...it was Murray who sold his shares to Whyte, not the Company itself. In a sense King was nothing more than an unwelcome sitting tenant

According to my boss who is a Motherwell season ticket holder McCall was very guilty of throwing on defenders and trying to hold on to a lead...just like he did yesterday.

Maybe they should send it to Green to adorn the drawing room of his château?

Auditioning for a follow up of Breaking Bad?

You could end up in jail for singing the Billy Boys under the old law.

It's to make up for the embarrassment of having to go to play off games!

I'm always a bit bemused as to why anyone would pay attention to anything DJ says...he doesn't come across as very knowledgeable.

That's more down to the fact that we share a tv networks with them and know that if they do win we're going to have to suffer their gloating for months or years to come. Besides don't we usually hope the opposition will win when Celtic are playing,? that's just part of sporting rivalry...

It's all very well playing young players..but they need to be coached as well.

There's a fair amount of competition for that accolade!

He wasn't done for tax evasion..he was done for not providing the Tax Authorities with information regarding his income. If I remember his basic argument was that the monies concerned weren't his but belonged to various trusts and other entities. It also appears that the original section has been repealed and new provisions brought in where by the Tax Authorities can now levy administrative penalties ie non criminal for these matters.

It won't be a problem..just have Borat for the in flight movie and nothing can go wrong

This all sounds a bit vindictive...shouldn't the right of referral be restricted to cases of serious foul play?

sufficient unto the day are the troubles thereof... I'll worry about that when the time comes.

lighten up for a minute...part of the fun of football is laughing at teams your own team can't beat losing in a competition your own team has already been knocked out of...it's nonsensical, but it's fun. Besides most of us are laughing at their reaction to the defeat, rather than the defeat itself.

When I first saw Rangers in the late 60's they had red socks with white tops...so for me those were always the real Rangers socks!

So thousands of supporters have their weekends mucked up all for the sake of television!

I hope this isn't what Jackson was hinting about in his tweet

It really irritates me the way clubs attend meetings pass rules and regulations and set down procedures and then bitch about them months or years later when they discover that a particular rule causes them a problem.

He said the Pope thing twice, once to Hartley and before that to the rest of the broadcasting team. It was all rather odd
