  1. I'm not sure whether to believe this story or not, any more than your excuse for missing the match. I don't know any lawyers who work on a Saturday. :D

     

     

    You were at the opposite end of the table from me mate so you probably didn't notice that I spent the entire time in there minus shoes. The staff certainly gave me strange looks when I was heading back and forth to the gents. :D2

    As for the lawyer - he's a family lawyer who happens to be part of the family. That's probably the only reason I didn't get the jail. "Heated exchanges" don't go half way to describing how things went.

  2. Well done BH for organising an excellent day. I enjoyed meeting the troops.

    Sorry I had to make an escape but my new shoes were killing me. I ended up sitting on a bus with them off before walking barefoot to my local, having a couple of haufs before calling a taxi to get me up the road. Believe me, it's no fun walking down a garden path of stone chips with no shoes on.

    Both heels are severely blistered and I won't be going anywhere for a few days.

    Flip flop Loyal. :laugh:

  3. There is a minimum drink spend of £25 per head so you can leave your balance with me :lol:

     

    Feck me !

    I hope I'm not having a bevvy with a shower of woosies................. at the prices that place charges too !

    I dare say I'll make up the shortfall for 4 or 5. :flute:

  4. off topic I know.....but I would think the sou' side would be the Gorbals, Hutchiesontown all the way east to Oatlands, (but not Brig'ton)whereas Tradeston, Nelson st. etc. wasn't in it either

     

    Govanhill is the sooside mate. Gorbals and southwards all the way to Cathcart are sooside as far as my family are concerned.

    I always said I couldn't possibly reside on the north side of the river so spent all my years in the south.

  5. I think posters are missing the key issue here. It isnt whether or not anybody reported these alleged crimes to police - the unnamed scout was reported, but in those days unsubstantiated claims obviously were not pursued. The police did nothing anyway.

     

    The main scandal here is that celtic paid Torbetts company £1million after his conviction. For what?? That is the BIG question. Does anybody have a link to an article about this payment, before i post it on twitter?

     

    " Byline: CHARLES LAVERY Chief Reporter EXCLUSIVE

     

    CELTIC have severed business links with Jim Torbett, four years after he was jailed for molesting three young footballers.

     

    The club will not renew a controversial pounds 250,000-a-year contract with a firm linked to the paedophile founder of Celtic Boys' Club. "

  6. its new info

     

    he had the ticketus money before he owned the club, allegedly

     

    how was that possible?

     

    How was your extended holiday on the moon JH ? :razz:

    It was always known that he got the money before owning the club mate. He couldn't have got us otherwise. Today saw the confirmation of the pension money used via Earley and Sykes [the guy mentioned in the "Men Who sold the Jerseys" programme]. Which all shows where the £375000 that supposedly went to Banstead from Rangers really ended up.

  7. I just saw an article pointing out that the prosecution were now working to clarify that Whyte had secured and used ticketus money to seal the deal which in itself is apparently illegal. Only the owner of the club can conduct such transactions using a club asset like the season ticket sales and he was not the owner of the club when this deal was conducted.

     

    There is surely no way out of that for him. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-39868186

     

    That is the allegation of fraud which he is currently facing at the high court today mate.

  8. I met Mr Symon a few times when I was young. My Grandad was a friend of his and could never speak highly enough of him.

    A friends dad used to arrange Rangers flights and became friendly over the years with both Mr Struth and Scott Symon and had nothing but praise for both.

  9. "Rangers defender Clint Hill will be released at the end of the season as manager Pedro Caixinha's plans major changes at Ibrox.

    Hill, who has made 31 appearances for the Scottish Premiership club this season, was informed by Caixinha of the decision on Tuesday morning and now intends to find a new club to extend his career.

    The 38-year-old is best known for a six-year stint at QPR in which he helped the club win promotion to the Premier League and has also played for Tranmere, Oldham, Stoke City, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest. "

  10. Guys here looking for wholesale changes to our squad are fated to be disappointed imo.

    The money simply isn't there to bring in 8 or 9 new men. Journeymen approaching the end of their careers and maybe 1 or 2 of Pedros pals and that will be it.

    The main question will be the wasters and under-talented players we currently employ - will they move on ? I fear not.

    Next season we'll be going for 2nd in the league. That will be seen as a success and anybody looking for more is deluding themselves. Again, imo only.

    The following season will be the tester as to how good our manager is.

  11. How can he be a terriffic player but suspect at defending if hes a full back?

     

    Wallace , same as Tavernier, isn't a full back.

    If the managers he's had wanted him to be a full back they'd tell him not to cross the half way line.

    Both have suffered due to the incompetence of our various centre halfs who are there to cover when they move forward.

    Big Broadfoot and to a certain extent Whittaker were the same.

  12. He's the captain of a squad who show no fight and disagree with the managers approach. My opinion obviously but i think he will be told to find himself another team.

     

    In my opinion we would be silly to get rid of Wallace. I think he's a terrific player, if somewhat suspect at defending.

    Certainly given the limited amount of funds which will be available to improve the squad we won't be able to find anything near to Wallaces ability.

  13. I couldn't get to a screen yesterday until just before McKay scored. Rangers were magnificent. Wizardry from McKay and Tavernier, hard work throughout the team and buzzbomb Miller in a diagonal sprint to create the chance for a Jimmy Millar style header from Garner.

     

    Seems I was very lucky to have missed the previous eighty minutes.

     

    Actually my praise of KM is genuine. Just before the winner he had done a forty yard sprint to force a Thistle attacker into a loose pass. You could see him go up a gear for the second twenty when most forwards would be easing off passing the buck to a defender.

     

    Despite losing the ten minutes 0-2 Jags looked like a team.

     

    You were lucky and saw a different match from the rest of us Scott. We were absolutely dreadful before McKay came on. Dreadful. Thistle could have been out of sight until the last 10 minutes.

  14. Cosgrove spent two hours on Saturday berating Daryl Broadfoot reference Level 5. Why such a hard-on for Jim Traynor's company?

     

    That's something I've never understood about those Rangers-haters online and in the media - why does the perceived "conning" of the Rangers support by Level 5 bother them so much ?

  15. Meanwhile, former "Rangers fan", professional beggar and full time fool JJ has his say on yesterdays game -

     

    " A hat tip is due to Andrew Dallas for ensuring that Rangers Lite’s late pressure paid off in the 94th minute. It was a sterling effort on his part. A deft touch, unlike the blunderbus that ensured Rangers Lite a replay against Albion Rovers in the 96th minute when the ball and the Rovers keeper were both bundled into the net. Did father Hugh school his son in the Rangers-facing dark arts? The apple has not fallen far from the poisoned tree. " :laugh:

     

    Hurting much Paddy ? :flute:
