    Despite desperately trying to hide it, Shug is beelin' with jealousy. He just can't deal with Black having a Bentley. LOL.

    McLean moves to Blackburn, all Scotland wishes him well. McLean moves to Rangers, all Scotland denounces Rangers for stealing talent from other clubs, and for living beyond the means of a Championship side.

    Ticket allocation has got nothing to with us mate. For these purposes, Ibrox is a neutral stadium, and ticket allocation, policing and compensation for damages etc are the responsibility of the good old SFA.

    It's unedifying, and in some wee sleekit corners of the Timmy world and the hacks' world they'll be giggling away like mad. I don't appreciate being tarred with the same brush.

    Celtic want more. More seats of influence. More power. More media influence. More titles no matter how it is achieved. So why not more tickets too?

    Andy, it may very well be that you're right, and we're watching the twilight years - or the death spasms - depending on how much of a pessimist we want to be. I'm not sure that it's only the fans to blame. However, in recent times, they do seem to have played a large part in being preoccupied in hateful politics as opposed to the attractions of the game itself. I assume that a sizeable part of the online community - who are the noisy ones - are young, and as such, we have probably bypassed a couple of generations of wisdom and experience, leaving it all to the angry young men. The hacks can't be left out of this though. We have engendered a shoal of self interested parasites whose knowledge of the game borders on a seven year old's, the common motivator being what is perceived as popularism (currently anti-Rangers) with a large twist of provocation that rekindles that popularism for their media outlet. My fear is that their behaviour is more akin to self cannibalism. With a total dearth of visionaries at the top level of the game, and dare I say only closeted self interest or gross incompetence to separate the factions, Scottish football has no longer any leaders. So yes, let's pull up a chair and watch it spasm while it's lifeblood drains away into its grassless muddy pitches.

    Although I note the naivety of your second question, I completely fail to see its relevance to, well actually, anything. And I fail to see what any kind of answer would add to the common wisdom.

    I can't help but feel a little saddened by it all. By the hacks who feed on it believing that they're big-time intellectual journalists. By those within the game who feed on it to bolster ticket sales and their own self-aggrandizement. And by those who have spun it as a mirage to fleece us. I just believe that there should be a better world out there trying to escape from within the present one.

    Is this a sustainable way for Scottish football to exist. By that, I mean being built on a platform of mutual hatred.
  10. bluebear54
    Don't hold your breath, mate. Not with this bunch we have. They're more interested in briefing against us.

    If the Board's watching, they've got a new cracker for an excuse.

    Words It's only words. Nothing there that's legally binding.

    Easdales do the taxis and Stockdale does the video.

    Aye - Scottish football stinks to high heavens. Still, no need for it to reek even more by Thompson deliberately letting a belter go.

    Have to go along with you there, Zappa. There's very little this lot do that's not premeditated.

    It'll save him making up stories about being gobbed on and having insults thrown at him. The laughable thing is that it's eejits like him and Hutton that are inflaming the opinions of fans. Its not us. This lot are perpetuating the myth. Shame on them.

    I haven't renewed for 2 seasons now. When I go (on a one on one basis) invariably I've been able to get my traditional seat in the CD. I've also taken the opportunity to sit in a few other areas. However, I agree with rbr that there are parts that certain fans might not appreciate. I, for example, don't like watching football played towards or away from me, so don't appreciate the Copland or the Broomloan, although I would even consider sitting on the roof of the Main Stand if I really wanted to be at a game. I do think that wanting to retain a certain seat should come secondary to the sustainable survival of our Club.

    Don't ask me to get you a drink then, son!

    I'm not quite sure if your post is an attempt to criticise the DPA (1998) or something else altogether. I am tempted to think the latter. I find it extraordinary, as a professional, that you haven't heard of the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG), and aren't fully aware of its ramifications and implications for amongst others, companies and public bodies. Every one of your countrymen that I deal with is totally aware of this legal framework and are extremely au fait with its workings. You may, or may not be aware that Germany led the way in legislation of this kind for the European Union and was one of the driving forces in the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament adopting a general data protection directive in 1995 (Directive 95/46/EC) that had to be implemented in the law of the Member States by the end of 1998. To my knowledge, only Ireland and France have not implemented it. I have heard that, in the case of Ireland, there are multiple reasons (such as the Magdalene scandal) for them dragging their feet as long as possible. Back to my point, as such, Data Protection legislation is fairly consistent throughout the EU, and seminars on its application are a staple diet for new inductees to companies, public bodies and in fact anyone who holds data belonging to a third party. Despite your wish to argue otherwise, I can categorically assure you - if Craig's account is true - that there have been multiple breaches of the DPA (1998) in this instance. The prime reason being that Sandy Easdale apparently used data that was in the control of the Club for personal purposes . Furthermore, that data would appear to have been passed to Sandy Easdale's lawyers, which certainly aggravates the situation. If true, I can't for the life of me understand why his lawyers went along with this, because they will be caught up in DPA breaches too. Everyone who has anything to do with that data will be caught up in it. If Sandy Easdale is named as the data controller at the Club, he is facing pretty serious charges and his position would appear to be untenable. Furthermore, the gravity of the situation would appear to be gravely enhanced by the online comments of Jack Irvine who made comment (that Mr Houston) "tell your pals that soon we will take everything off one of them, someone's going to lose their house, savings, cars the lot." May I remind everyone that Mr Irvine was in the employ of the Club at that time and is certainly caught up in all of this. It may well be that those comments were responsible for his and his company's removal a few days later. If charged, Sandy Easdale may well ask to be exonerated on your "telephone book" principle, but I would imagine the legal world would wait with baited breath on Mr Easdale's explanation as to how - as a private individual - he eliminated every other Houston in every UK telephone book, given that he should not have known Mr Houston's mother's first name in the first place - or that they were even related, or even if she lived in Castlemilk or Catalonia. As previously mentioned, I am merely a layman, and the thoughts above should be construed as my own, and not as legal advice or interpretation in any way. They are, however, more convincing to me than the "telephone book" concept.

    I tire of having our dirty linen washed in public for the benefit of newspaper sales and the gleeful entertainment of our haters. We have been the driving force in media sales for over 2 years now.

    There's a long way to go yet, and a lot to pan out.

    It'll most likely be a great evening with the present numbers.
  23. bluebear54
    Twist things however you want, I'll get back to the thread.
  24. bluebear54
    So, how many are we to date? 7?
  25. bluebear54
    And where do you get this wisdom from?
