26th of foot 6,082 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Beeb Scotland's HQ, Pacific Quay is most appropriately located. The muddy streams of anti-Rangers sentiment seamlessly provides a current of impetus to the steady flow of Rangers hatred. Those muddy streams emanate from the deluge fonts of current affairs, politics, sports, and comedy shows. It is unfettered by any of those shows' Hosts providing a barrier of objectivity. A child in Rangers favours, standing armed with a paper cup before the deluge would be too much mitigation. Thus, we had Jum Spence running off about, 'the proceeds of crime'. Now, Jum has told us often enough that he lectured in the Law at some Tayside Technical College. He should know EBTs were NOT illegal, thus no crime, and no need for the lucid tales of yachts, holiday homes, and sports cars being impounded. Unsurprisingly, no one at PQ thought to remind Jum. Then, we had Hugh MacDonald supporting title stripping because the side letters were not registered. I thought Rangers had paid a £250,000 fine on that very charge. Maybe Hugh should consult Jum on double punishment? Chris McLaughlin opened the lock gates on title stripping even further. He appeared for twenty minutes to provide a synopsis of the big tax case, then announced he had contacted all the prominent Scottish clubs to poll their take on title stripping. One club wanted titles to be removed, two didn't, five provided no reaction, and three failed to respond. Chris, then laid out the timetable of SFA and SPFL meetings in the next month, and was of the opinion that once supporters of these clubs contacted their respect club boards, then pressure would tell. The precedent of five years past was being flagged with gusto. Of course, no one mentioned Dermot Desmond owning 33.3% of a Latvian bank utilised for money laundering. French courts want the bank President jailed for 5 years, and a fine of £70million imposed. Well, it could be said that Dermot only owns a third of the bank's equity. However, Dermot only owns 29.9% of ra Sellik, and the hail hailers chorus he is the main man, taking all the big decisions. Now, and I am just inquiring; would Dermot's ability to lure Brendan to Sellik Park be enhanced by being a significant partner in a Latvian bank? Would Chris consider a poll of clubs in this regard? In terms of manufacturing news as opposed to reporting news, it is very much the same principle Chris. Finally, it's dear old Cossie(his nickname is being used far more often these days in the PQ gang hut). Gernetters may be aware of the story of a dying Twente Enschede fan? A decade past, Rangers and Stranraer fan, James McKie was friendly with a terminally ill Dutch fan, Dennis Van Unen. His bucket list included a wish to see an old firm game. In conjunction with a fellow Stranraer and Celtic supporter, James Hilton; Dennis attended said match, and received tours of Ibrox, Hampden, and Celtic Park. His wish to view Twente playing Stranraer was realised, and both messers McKie and Hilton thought the game taking place on the tenth anniversary of Dennis's passing was appropriate and a chance to raise awareness of skin cancer. Twente agreed, brought over a full team, and several hundred fans to Stair Park on Saturday. It resulted in a 0-5 drubbing for the home team, but everyone had a good day, bathed in warm memories of deceased Dutch supporter. On Saturday evenings, On/Off the Ball always has nominations for team of the day. Hugh MacDonald mentioned a few including his beloved Selliks 9-zip victory over Shamrock Rovers in Dublin. Cosgrove nominated Accies youths winning the Oban Saints tourney for the second successive year. Chic Young nominated Twente Enschede for the above reasons, and Hugh MacDonald changed his to Twente too. Cosgrove then uttered, "call me an utter cynic, what you are saying is a dying Dutchman wants to watch bigotry". I think Twente Enschede should be informed of Cosgrove's crass, insensitive, and spiteful comments. Those comments are down there with his action in hosting fellow Channel 4 employee, Alex Thomson reference his tweet depicting John Greig's statue walking away. Sixty-six folks, including schoolchildren had their very breath crushed from their bodies, and Cosgrove was allowed to utilise 30 minutes of license fee payers broadcast time, protecting a commercial asset. Jokes and laughs supporting Thomson's supposed ignorance of the Ibrox Disaster. In his next two commentaries on Rangers, Thomson referred to Bears as, "Daleks". Just like after last year's Scottish Cup final when Cosgrove thought reports of Rangers players being assaulted on the pitch, were massive over-hypes. He should offer a public apology to all those involved in the Stranraer/Twente game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,562 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 A very poor show from Cosgrove but he's a high heid yin in the BBC so operates without any leash whatsoever. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil's advocaat 1,541 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I was listening to the radio when news broke last week. John Beattie introduced the sports news with the line 'Happy days for Chris McLaughlin on today's breaking news' . Que little Smeagols' voice trembling, trying to cover his delight. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

forlanssister 3,114 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Pardon my ignorance but what's a Rule 9 Waiver? Means you don't have to make a compulsory offer for all the shares if your holding reaches 30%. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,674 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Their shares are all in Celtic plc, it's the class of shares that vary. So some have got voting shares & some don't. Why would anyone buy non-voting shares? So who owns Celtic FC Ltd ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
