City buggered about too much. Serves them right.

 

I wonder if Kane would fit into a Guardiola team. He’d be better off at United.

Made eight changes from their previous game far to many against a decent team like Chelsea 

So far so good another couple of goals to remind that clown who's the best team , mon the gers 

Hullaw, Hullaw,  Hullaw ????????

I think every manager has his shelf life I remember at the end of the other lots nine championships Stein was bringing in players that just weren't good enough I doubt if they would have got a game in the reserve team of five or six years earlier others have lost there way as well look at Wenger's early teams and later sides

Stein is a classic example. Won a cup at Dunfermline, changed Hibs into a football team and transformed a bunch of also-rans in the east end. Failed at Leeds but that wasn’t surprising in the circumstances. 
 

I wonder what Hibs would have achieved if he had stayed.

Aye makes you wonder 

Wasn't impressed with the germans wonder boy Haaland reminded me of Roger Hynd with a blond wig on his head .

UEFA like Fifa both organisations run on corruption

The Fringe continues, the Rangers' Case Revue moving seamlessly from comedy to cabaret: 

first the 'Big Hoose' song (too obscure a number with which to open the show,  i m h o), and now 

'The Billy Boys'.

Bring on the Dancing Girls. 

 

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service's prosecutions of those involved in the takeover, and its aftermath, increasingly presents as a burlesque, scripted or impromptu (it's quite unclear which), increasingly bizarre, and drifting into the realms of the surreal imagination. 

 

 

Officer denies singing Billy Boys anthem

The senior detective who led an ill-fated fraud investigation into the takeover of Rangers FC has denied chanting songs associated with the club in front of a witness.

Detective Chief Inspector Jim Robertson, 53, said that he may have “referenced” a song called The Billy Boys but did not sing the controversial anthem while in the company of Philip Duffy, an employee with Duff and Phelps, the financial services firm that managed the Rangers administration.

Robertson said he may have mentioned the meaning of a codename for the Rangers administration case used by David Grier, a business consultant. The codename was Project William, which Robertson said was a reference to William of Orange. He said he had learnt about the name when taking a statement from Paul Clark, a former Rangers administrator who was arrested during the investigation and later cleared of criminal wrongdoing.

He added: “I took a statement from Paul Clark in 2012 and I was aware of different project names being given to the files that were being given — so the Murray Group had Project Blue which related to Rangers Football Club then it changed to Project Charlotte; the scenario being Sir David Murray’s offices being in Charlotte Square in Edinburgh.” Murray is a former chairman of Rangers.

Robertson added: “Then when the club was going into administration and they were going to administrators, they decided to change it from Project Charlotte and David Grier came up with a name and his name was Project William. When Paul Clark mentioned it to me, he laughed when he was giving his statement. During his time as an administrator coming from the south of England he had learned the connotations of the name William in relation to William of Orange, King Billy etc and the song The Billy Boys — that was discussed and it was David Grier who named that.

“Now he would have had knowledge in my opinion because David Grier told us he was a Rangers fan and that he grew up in Barrhead outside Glasgow. He would have known that and to us was his private joke.

“During this inquiry, I was asking certain individuals of the connotations of the Project William name.

“I may have mentioned that to Phil Duffy about the William name and the connotations of the name and I may have referenced the Rangers song The Billy Boys in relation to that.

“But I did not stand up and chant The Billy Boys.”

 

He was giving evidence on the sixth day of proceedings brought to the Court of Session by Grier, who is seeking £7 million from police and prosecutors for his arrest after Rangers went into administration.

Grier was cleared of all charges but says his arrest in November 2014 was “career ending”. Police were investigating alleged criminality during Craig Whyte’s takeover of Rangers in 2011.

Grier, 60, is suing the present lord advocate, James Wolffe QC, and Police Scotland, claiming that they had no evidence to justify the arrest or charge. He is also suing the chief constable of Police Scotland. Prosecutors and the force are contesting the action.

Earlier this year Lord Tyre concluded that prosecutors had had no “probable cause” to prosecute Grier. However, Lord Tyre said there was not enough evidence available at that stage to conclude that prosecutors brought the case against Grier maliciously.

Last week Duffy told the court that he thought Robertson had chanted what appeared to be a Rangers song during his third interview at a police station in London, which took six hours.

The case continues.

This would have been a good case for our former vice chairman,  now ladies and gentlemen of the jury follow me Hullaw Hullaw 

Dont give up on him he has a good burst of speed that could be used if we can supply good through passes.

Back to the second legs.

 

Tuesday:

Chelsea (2) v Porto (0). Id be very surprised if Chelsea throw this away, Porto did win in Turin so are a good side but Chelsea and looking good. Havertz is looking like a world beater. I still think Giroud is their best option upfront with Havertz behind him.

 

PSG (3) v Bayern (2) - this could be another belter. Bayern have to come out and attack which could leave them open at the back. Bayern are the masters at this stage but they need to score at least twice so I think its a stretch to much.

 

Wednesday:

Dortmund (1) v Man City (2) - This one is wide open. City will bring 7 players back in who were on the bench against Leeds. Dortmund are not great in the Bundesliga this season but strong in the CL. This one is open but I fancy City to win the competition so will stick with them.

 

Liverpool (1) v Real Madrid (3) - If there was a full 50000 packed Anfield Id be tipping Liverpool to go through but I can see Real scoring on the night meaning Liverpool may need 4 goals.

Chelsea,  city Madrid and the German hun for a four time roll up.

Big Sam weaves his magic once again 

Watched Spurs yesterday and seen the worst of VAR if the referee had a pair he would have at least booked the Spurs player Son for feigning injury and this player has form for pretending he's been injured. 

HELANDER 

A good first half rather poor in the second half , must do better.
