buster.

Grant Russell ‏@STVGrant Judge: What's the cost of this exercise so far? It's nigh on £400,000 for both sides isn't it? Nods from King and co. Is judge going to offer to call it a draw ?

Communication can be indirect.

James Doleman ‏@jamesdoleman Email from SD shown to court, denies ever communicating with "Phil Mcgivery"

Ask the list of second rate relayers of spin. #PMGBetc

Nearing the dangerous spell of pressure me thinks. Hold out !

five minutes into second half and it's now 4-0.

James Doleman ‏@jamesdoleman Court told confidentiality agreement was signed by former RIFC director Sandy Easedale Did they (who) really say that ?

This is like being 3-0 up at HT. Mon the judge (so far)

Insert first curveball

Speak don't text/use phone.

Thought about that. A (pressman) speaks to B without leaving paper or electronic trail. B tells X, Y and Z X (living in Mongolia) in some way broadcasts info. What do SD lawyers do ?

So between those two tweets Ian 'Reuters' 1964.... #10 and #11 Press have to sign document on confidentiality re. material to be shown that they probably already know about.

Sounds as though he likes a bit of confrontation. Bit like a headmaster questioning the headboys to make sure they have covered a subject fully.

Had a quick glance at one thread and the hateful venom goes beyond the pale. I'm not one to shrink away from taking someone to task if I think they deserve it but that sickened me to the extent a civil conversation would have been impossible. In amongst the easily led are calculating people who know exactly what they are doing in a sort of 'tailored John James Lite'.

LVG was always a bad appointment and was never going to work. How much money is that spent and can't get out of CL group. IIRC Moyes managed that. edit Just to add I think that the Man Utd board and especially those involved with the recruitment process have to take a look at themselves. They appointed Moyes, a man who it was known would need time and they weren't prepared to to stick with it. They appointed LVG and threw money at what I'd call 'yesterdays man' and said at the start he wouldn't hack it. Need some vision.

Twitter conversation with Barcabhoy who has been busy leading one particular avenue of attack towards King/Rangers. Barcabhoy, David Low, PMGB, John James, Clumpany etc joined at the hip on this.

Aslong as he works hard at his football and is a good professional with Rangers he can support whoever he wants for all I care.

January is hopefully when we see a couple joining the sqaud and adding value. It's not so much about where they come from but that the scouting has been good and recognized real potential. It's about having a football operation that can find the players and then can improve them whilst fitting them into ongoing plans.

KJ doesn't write "anti-Rangers drivel", at least not all of the time. As a senior tabloid hack in Glasgow he has to occasionally stoke up controversy on both sides. He does so deliberately and for commercial reasons as the fans on both sides nearly always take the bait. Over the piece during the Rangers saga KJ has been as close as any pro-fitbaw hack to what has been going on and has if anything generally been on the side of those who were seeking regime change. This output source helped counter the toxic mediahouse led BS that came from elsewhere. Today he may have been better to write about the onfield game and regards the Rangers saga, waited until he had something more definite to say or at least less speculative. Another pro-hack who has featured little but when he has, he has always had something fairly relevant or important to say is Roddy Forsyth of The Telegraph.

Weather !! Was the court flooded ? FFS I want this saga over before I take my leave !!

The only part that makes you wonder is........ ------------------------ "No, King won’t have been greatly troubled by this either but he may well be wondering what else Ashley has planned for him and his regime. And that really is worth dwelling on. Since announcing with much gusto that he and his co-directors have clubbed together to pay back an emergency loan of £5million to Sports Direct, it has all gone strangely quiet on that front. As yet the debt remains unsettled. Why is that? What exactly is going on here? It could be that discussions between both camps are ongoing behind the scenes as Ashley will have to hand back all manner of securities over the likes of Murray Park, the Albion carpark and the club’s crests and badges. But the longer this exchange drags out the more bizarre it all becomes, especially given Ashley’s determination to get his money back in the first instance. Is there something else going on here, something strategic? Is Ashley about to call King’s bluff all over again?" ------------------------------ But KJ doesn't have access to MASH strategy and would seem to be taking a half hearted and vague punt, perhaps after a word with some of the better guys.

Swansea need an instant impact. I think Moyes is the type of manager who needs time to make a difference.

Domestically it was the League decider in 1979, losing 4-2 at Parkhead and playing against 10 men. European wise, neither of my worst two nights resulted in defeats but were when hopes of something special were taken away. 1. 1979 European Cup quarter final second leg: Rangers 1-1 Cologne (agg 1-2) After having put out Juventus and PSV I and probably many others started to hope that this may be our year. 2. 1993 CL group: Marseille 1-1 Rangers On the face of it a decent result but in my heart of hearts I knew we had needed a victory and hence had blown our chances of reaching the Final.
