Are they the in thing for lasses up in Glasgow then ?

The Real KB {Ed007's Note - No Comment!! Except from experience I wouldn't say they are the 'in thing' *shudder*

I'm gonna get the missus done if Liverpool win at Wembley next week ! Lol.
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - Mail me the pics, you just want me to cheer on LFC now don't you :-)

KB...it all really started from The Only Way Is Essex. I do not think going to the 'gallagate' would be advisable for a vajazzle. Mrs E {Ed007's Note - Is it cheeky to ask how you know Mrs? Everybody else is thinking it....... :-)

There are just some things if you must have them decorated...the wee place down the gallowgate just won't do ! Mrs E {Ed007's Note - *speechless*

Ed if this is to long to post it's cool. Just wanted to have a rant at salmond, hopefully my fellow tims will tell rent a quote where to go to.
Mr Salmond

I am writing to you to express my extreme disgust at your reported comments on the plight of Rangers FC. To speak for or pretend you know what the vast majority of Celtic fans feel is at best foolish. Let me inform you that as a Celtic supporter and someone who is in constant contact with Celtic supporters that we would quite happily watch the biggoted organisation that is Rangers FC dissapear from our society forever.

You describe Rangers as part of the fabric of Scotland, if this is true maybe this is where we are failing as a nation. This"great institution" had a non-catholic signing policy for over 100 years. Even after this the catholic players they did sign were warned not to bless themselves in front of their own support. Even more recently they removed eggs Benedict from their club menu within minutes of the new pope being announced. Hardly the shining beacon of Scottish society you are trying to portray.

At a time when the countries financies are in a real mess and there have been cuts in every sector, including cuts in the public sector where your party is in control of these finances I find it astounding that you are urging HMRC to come to some sort of deal with a company that has allegedly been cheating the public purse for over a decade. Even during the time HMRC were taking them to court their new owner was still failing to pay the goverment the monies they were due. How you can claim to represent the people of this country with views such as these is astonishing. You have watched thousands of people being put out of work due to the financial crisis but still see fit to defend and try to promote this grossly corrupt organisation. Your views are not only not representative of the Celtic support you really seem to have become very detached from public opinion in general.

Not to long ago everyone was up in arms as the bankers were taking big bonuses and bringing the public sector to it's knees but it now seems ok to cheat the public purse if you are sporting institution. Although i find this strange as I remember when Celtic FC were within an hour of becoming extinct and there was no clamour from any political party to ensure our survival. The Celtic support have long been portrayed as paraniod but maybe there was something in it.

I am ashamed to say that I actually voted for you at the last election. After pushing throughyour universally hated offensive behaviour at football bill I was reconsidering whether I would vote for your party again but after your most recent comments I can tell you now that I will NEVER vote for your party or any of your parties proposals. You are very quick to tell the Celtic support to keep politics out of football, maybe you should try taking your own advice, or at the very least keep yourself out of our business. Our board has already stated that we don't need Rangers to survive so how you can contradict the business men who have turned us in to the best run club in Scotland is unbelievable.

I would like to think that the Celtic support you claim to know so much about can look forward to an apology from you but I know this will never be forthcoming.

I look forward to your response but I wont hold my breath.

Regards

David {Ed007's Note - David, are you having a dig at me here or have I got the wrong end of the stick completely? Sorry if I have.}

Ed007; why a dig at you mate.........green jhedi {Ed007's Note - I missed the part mentioning Salmond at the top, sorry David, I thought you were saying I had been slagging CFC etc. It has been a long day guys, hospital and the flu aren't a good mix!!!, sorry about that. I was wondering about the election talk lmao???.}

Totally agree with David , it started with Salmond then Cameron who's next to jump on the "Save Rangers" bandwagon, the bottom line is they have cheated Her Majestys Revenue & Customs out of 10's of millions of Great British pounds, somebody must go to jail ,go directly to jail do not pass go, for this crime.....Stevie

I was wondering why you thought it was a dig at you myself Ed....maybe an age thing ? {Ed007's Note - I know lol I thought it was about me saying I talk for all CFC fans etc that kind of threw me.}

ED007, Taco, Lubo, Shaunbhoy,
Green Jhedi, Pat, Mrs E let's have a

the accent is a MONGREL! hail hail

Lubo25

Poshur thin posso mibee ruchazie?

Oh he has the strangest face & voice ever ! Definitely hiding something, his face is like some kind of mask lol Mrs E

Ed its those eyes that look reptillian. But i think the reptillian shapeshifters have abit more class than that and slightly higher ambitions than whats going on with Rangers.... or maybe they want us to think that and its all a ploy for bigger things to come?

As for the accent timalloy ( hello by the way not crossed swords with yourself in a while) i wud uh say i uh i eh eh eh think that it is an ah eh i eh interesting mixture too. Ok im poking fun of his on screen stammer maybe that is poor taste i apologise to anyone who is offended and these opinions are only the product of a delusional mindand not the iopinion of this site as a whole ( there you go Ed no legal probs with that comment lol)

That said could explain why no one ever got any answers out of him, cos he couldnt string a sentence together. Although if you listened to him i would say it was posh Edinbvrgian ( i add the v cos its what it says on the Welcome To Edinvrgh signs, look the next time you go to Edinvbrgh )

Evinguu

Gotta be bothwell/bellshill for me...........green jhedi {Ed007's Note - Forgewood?}

Lol!
i was trying to work that out when he was delivering the greatest speech ever heard at ibrox front doors

i think it's a combination of his many telephone voices, for when people phone up and say 'oi, craigy...where's wur wages?'
the problem is, he's used so many dodgy accents, he's forgotten what an actual human being speaks like

my SNP letter

Dear Government of Scotland,

I must admit, I can find no credible source to confirm the ascertain that the SNP Party (or members of) has requested leniency from HMRC, on behalf of Rangers Football Club, with regards to the various tax bills that are payable.

However, there appears to be a considerable ground-swell of public opinion that the SNP are in agreement with this suggestion.

I truly and fully understand the arguments that the demise of a Scottish company of the size of Rangers football club will have ramifications to the local area and to Scottish football as a whole. This cannot be underestimated. Some may say that any assistance to Rangers would be for "the greater good" and would prevent Scottish football from a downwards spiral. This may be so, but there is an even greater good than Scottish football, and that is dignity and justice. Not justice for Rangers, but justice for every other football team is Scotland who has been cheated every year Rangers chose not to play fair and pay their taxes to the Government.

I am of the belief that no commercial considerations should be made in the negation of the acts of at least 2 Scottish business men (Mssrs Murray & Whyte) in their dealings with HMRC. They have shown flagrant disrespect towards the body that collects our taxes, which pays for all the social necessities such as schools, hospitals, fire service and the police service. Between 2001 and 2011 it is alleged that they have deprived the Government of approx £30m (not including penalties etc) by way of their use of EBTs, and since May 2011 they have deprived the Government of £9m from non-payment of tax and Vat. This is only the extent which is known to the public and not including other transactions for personal gain which have been alleged.

I would be disgusted, if it were to be true, that the SNP party were requesting leniency to be shown toward a company which has acted in this manner. A responsible Government should never seek dispensation for crimes of this extent. This is public money we are considering, not some wealthy entrepreneur's pocket money. If I were to commit these acts, i would not expect any help, leniency or sympathy from anyone, far less from The Government.

I request that you think long and hard about making any consideration or comment in favour of leniency toward Rangers football club. I also request that you take into consideration the effect any comments or decisions which could be seen as favourable to a Compnay in cheating the tax man, that this would have come Election time.

Regards

Hey Ed, hope your good mate.

Had a bit of bad news today, my old great-uncle has decided to go home from ICU (heart op, complications etc) as his wife has been diagnosed with Cancer and won't do her treatment while he is in hospital, so he's giving her a chance and will be passing soon, with some serious dignity.

If any of the Celtic family can recall a game he took me to back in the late 80's or maybe early 90's I'd appreciate some help (dates etc). Was against Hearts at home, we were 2-1 down (I think) and he decided we'd get an early dart for the train with 5 mins left or so (going back to NW England), as we're leaving the ground we hears an almighty roar, we've equalised. Bout 2 mins later heading down the road we hears another roar, we've only gone and won, and we bloody missed it lol. He was proper gutted for me and brought me back a few times a year to see the Hoops, what a reward for missing a couple of goals eh, a lifetime of Hoopyness.

Great memories, great man. HH

Shaunybhoy {Ed007's Note - Very sorry to hear that Shauny, God bless mate and try and keep your chin up. If nobody else can help with the match details I will do it when I have a bit more time no probs. Take care buddy. It's a year on Monday since my dad died from cancer Shauny, horrible, horrible stuff.}

Here shaunyboy yer great uncle will be laffin his bedsoaks aff it whit iz happenin tae the " manky mob "
wee pat,

Shaunybhoy sorry to hear about your uncle and aunty mate,my thoughts are with you and your family,and all the best mate.MACCA

Sorry to hear your news Shauny.The game i have in my mind was one where Andy Thom scored right at the end,i would need to double check but thats the 1st one that i could think of.

Jungle Bhoy.

Shaunybhoy

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
God bless you and your family

Lubo25

Hey mate, sorry to hear about your relatives, all the best on that front.

I know there was a game, new years 2003 maybe? We were 2-0 down after 8 mins and A young captain to be named McManus scored twice in the last 5 mins to get us home 3-2. It may be the wrong game as it was more recent then you've suggested, but still a great memory!

GoldCoastBhoy

Dont know if this is it but on 12 th of december 1987 celtic were 2- 0 down against hearts with 8 mins left to play andy walker scored a penalty and then in the dying seconds paul mcstay scored an equalier hope this helps davie c

Shaunbhoy, sorry about your greatuncle, my thoughts and prayers are with you. My uncle used to always leave early and we regularly missed late goals I also hated it walking down London Rd and hearing the big roar, keep the chin up pal
Timalloy

Appreciate the comments & memories bhoys.

We'd always stop off to pick up some Scottish delicacies (slice & scones?) at his sisters, tenements were shocking to even a council estate kid!!

Memories are muddled cos it was always a buzz and a long day for an excitable wee fella (wearing shorts cos my mum said it'd be nice from 300 mile away lol !!).

Be nice to see the two goals I thought.

Ed, mate appreciate your comments and god bless.

Shaunybhoy {Ed007's Note - No problem mate, take care.}

Only good to your and your family brother.........green jhedi

All the best Shaunybhoy! Thoughts are with you mate.

DazzaBhoy

Shaunybhoy,the closest results i could find are 4-2 in 1988 and 3-2 in 1985.There was a 3-1 in 1991,maybe that was it.Can't find any info on scorers and times.Maybe Ed can help?

Jungle Bhoy.

Shaunyboy. There was a cup game at Tynecastle in the late 80's where asyou say we were 2-0 nil down and we left with 10 mins to go. I was only 8 or 9 so who scored is a bit of a blur but I remember an almighty roar then two mins later another one so me and my uncle stopped by some guys car and we had gone to 2-2. I remember we won on pens I think it was the Centenery year but I cant be sure.

Hope this helps a little mate.

Been on the rangers page listening to what they have to say. It seems that all they care about is being successful, winning the league etc. which is fair enough if the books are balanced, what annoys me is that i havent heard one rangers fan say, ok we are in the s**t and we owe people money, so we will take being a mediocre team for a few seasons until everyone gets their money back then we will concentrate on being a big team again. theres a lack of pride at ibrox, if i owed someone money i would do without the luxuries in life until i had paid that debt back, not because i had to but because i am a proud man. Proud of who i am and what i am. if rangers reinvent themselves while ruining peoples lives then the people who support them and what they stand for are welcome to them. They may win trophies and be all happy with themselves but i and u will know what they are and what they stand for.So i ask the rangers supporters, can u really be proud of something that is tainted in other peoples misery or are u just that selfish that peoples lives are less important than a shiny cup.

Hi Ed is it just me or does the Rangers
administration nonsence stink to high
heavens , on Tuesday they are put in
administration , with no working capital
, and tax debts , they get to name their
own administrator who just happens to
be a friend of Craig Whyte , Thursday
no debts settled , no redundancies ,
no cost cutting , but suddenly the money
is there to pay the Policing for Saturdays game
, the players February wages , but teams
owed money by Rangers will have to
struggle on without it , Alex Salmond is
backing Rangers fight , but was willing
to let Hearts (who he supports , alledgedly)
go to the wall for a paltry £100.000 ,
this country is a joke , i smell s**te ! {Ed007's Note - I smell a whiff of it as well mate. Salmond should be worrying about schools, hospital, old people, mass unemployment, crime etc. Have a Google about the governments regarding the Farepak fiasco, that will open your eyes even more.}

Salmond and Cameron have today told every company in the uk dont pay full taxes and we will ok it to come to a settlement with HMRC .

Celtic have released a statement on Alex Salmond's views on Rangers : "We are very disappointed with the First Minister's claims that Celtic 'need' Rangers and that Celtic 'can't prosper' unless Rangers are there. This is simply not true. In a series of interviews given just 3 days ago, we made it abundantly clear that Celtic has a well defined strategy and a business plan independent of the fortunes of any other club. That remains absolutely the case. The predicament of Rangers is clearly a serious and complex matter with a whole range of possible outcomes. However, we are extremely well qualified to make our own position clear and have no wish to see that being misrepresented for political reasons."

Just read tonight's Evening Times

Council ready to help Rangers.
Pardon my ignorance but is this not

about paying our rates, council tax

We all knew it would happen these
"handshake" politicians out to save
"their" club.

Hail hail Timalloy

You're spot on Tim. i had a post earlier which was a letter to the snp government warning of the ramifications his party would receive if they were seen to be supporting taxc evasion and favouring a certain club. i don't know why the Ed hasn't posted it, but if you give me your email i'll send it to you and you can spread the word on facebook


taco {Ed007's Note - I'm not long on line Taco so I don't know why your post wasn't posted, but one of the English Eds must have had a problem with it.}

IN response to comments made by First Minister Alex Salmond, the club have released the following statement:

“We are very disappointed with the First Minister’s claims that Celtic ‘need’ Rangers and that Celtic ‘can't prosper unless Rangers are there’”.

"This is simply not true. In a series of interviews given just three days ago, we made it abundantly clear that Celtic has a well-defined strategy and a business plan independent of the fortunes of any other club. That remains absolutely the case.

“The predicament of Rangers is clearly a serious and complex matter with a whole range of possible outcomes.

“However, we are extremely well-qualified to make our own position clear and have no wish to see this being misrepresented for political reasons .”


taco

Totally agree with you, we knew the Arab Zillionaire 'Sheik Mahawn' would be phoning, txting and attending secret 'Tuesday Night' meetings discussing this tragedy for Scotland and calling in favours from the 'brotherhood'.
Incidentally, even my wife who has no allegiance to Celtic and my son (who is a blue-nose) was disgusted that Salmond is getting involved in this. I would think he had much more important issues in hand?
If he thinks that he is risking losing the votes of some 60,000 'collateral damage' then as the Mrs said - he is on to plumbs when he next goes to the Ballot box .

Jungle Jim

Ignorance indeed tim.we will jst ignore the fact that the council has plowed multi millions around parkhead vastly increasin the value of the celtic owned land and stadia?mate ur hatred towards they lot is unhealthy..i firmly blieve we wouldnt b as strong without em...think europe...scif scotland loose rangers co_effic forget any of our teams qualyfying for europe.and every other spl team financially will be fuked with reduced tv money and attendances....grow up ..stop bein n a wean and see the big picture......greengrass88

Bluegrass...... the reason the parkhead and surrounding areas are being redeveloped has nothing whatsoever to do with making Celtic's land more valuable, it's because of the olympics and commonwealth games, and that fact that it already has a stadium, and has masses of unused land


taco

Bluegrass....pffft typical..apparantly u aint allowed to be able to see the big picture..i didnt say that was y the council did it but it is a consequate effect...ed u got an opinion on this? wot bout the coefficient annol..how badly would this affect us..i assume it would mean more quals and not bein seeded?as i said taco we would b fine financially but the rest would be in a complete mess and that would not benefit us....greengrass88

Something jusrt doesn't ring true with you....i don't see any 'hatred' in Jims' post. but i do see you bleating like a lot of bears are doing at the moment.

why would the co-efficient suffer? rangers got pumped out of two european competitions at the first hurdle...you can't get any worse than that, so that's a stupid argument for a start.

reduced tv mon ey won't make any difference, i dont know why people keep going on about this as if it's THE major income for clubs, when in reality it accounts for around 2-3% of Celtics' income.

attendances will rise, because every other team now has a better chance of a european place

sorry if i offended you, but you really do sound like a bear with those comments


taco

GG...tell us them what is the bigger picture ? Tell me the co-efficient just now, is it 'healthy' ? No-one is saying rangers are going down the drain but I would be extremely annoyed if there was any public cash used as some form of bail-out. I said earlier, rangers is not a major employer or essential to the Scottish economy...not to mention the amount of tax owed. Are you honestly implying the Scottish Government should bail them out because Celtic need them ?? Mrs E

Ok...coefficient wise..we would lose rangers points ie scotland would loose rangers points.their points total is actually slightly higher than ours.if they go bust scotlands points drop instantly.we would loose europa places.loose a champ league spot ..have to play even more qualifiers than we already do which we wouldnt b seeded for makin even harder to progre and move on...mrs e in terms of tv money check what i said...i said the rest of the spl would suffer..they barely break even as it is....in the long run all of tje above would hinder us surely u can see this?all im sayin is think of out game overall.i said in first post we would be fine..we dont need them to survive but i think we need them in order to progress ....us and the spl..just wot i think tho greengrass88

GG if you really believe aw that then you'l also no doubt believe Aw the garbage that in three years time an even biggerer, betterer and strongerer rangers will be back in the SPL winning the title at a canter and destroying Europe so in the long term everythin will be fine n dandy n we'll all look back on this n laugh n wonder what all the panic was

Mikey Bhoy

Greengrass, firstly well done for leaving a tag to discuss this with (most of your bears dont know their names)
As Taco said, the east end has been neglected for years, time money was put in there, but it is because of Commonwealth games and also for Tourism.
Our coefficient (Scotland) I believe may not suffer, ok take off Rangers (but your team has been poor recently anyway) but hopefully Hearts, Motherwell etc will seize issue and pick up points (it happened years ago with Aberdeen/Dundee Utd in europe)
GG I have tried to engage you guys but all I get is insults, so now I take the "michael" all the arrogance comes from your "wee arra peeple" attitude.
hail hail Timalloy

why are you celtic fans celebrating about our problems and wishing for us to go into liquidation i mean the whole SPL will suffer including yourselves and you may possibly survive but who will u be fighting with to win the title.....? Hearts,Motherwell, i dont thinkso, u would run away with the league and it will be boring. Also you will be missing the excitement and the drama of an old frim game and this is one of scottish best exports. so you shall be wishing rangers a speedy recovery !

Celtic do NOT need rangers FACT. Smaller clubs will be competing for second place when rangers go so will attract more fans. A TV deal will be struck for the remaining teams, despite what the main stream media try to make you believe.

Rangers only need rangers.

Ahhh...the excitement and drama of being conned by cheats like naysmith, aluko, laugherty

the excitement and drama of being on the receiving end of 'honest mistakes' and ref's with eyes in the back of their head

the excitement and drama of having to listen to songs about child abuse, religious intolerance and some meaningless wee fight

we're celebrating because you could, and probably will go out of business, taking all the bile down with it....please, don't worry about the rest of us, you already show your fake concern for scottish football by not paying teams what they're due

In the amoruso era you bragged of your two teams and how you wanted one in the lower leagues,murray lauded his tenner over our fiver and we all had to watch you year after year in the champions league.to recap is was all about you you you,never a thought for anyone else and now we have to "look after" you because it's in our best interests? talk about arrogant!!

Ed, now that rangers won't be in Europe next season, does that mean the 3rd place team (IF rangers finish 2nd) will play CL qualifiers?

Jolly Green Giant {Ed001's Note - if Rangers fail to get their license to compete the place will pass down to the next eligible team, so 3rd place, unless they fail, which is possible for Hearts!}

Big Dan has won his appeal and he has been cleared of any wrong doing.

Ian(For every £1 Celtic spend Rangers will pay their creditors 10p)

If Rangers have deducted PAYE from players wages adn not passed it on to the Tax man, does that constitute a breach of contract and could all players leave Ibrox now if they so wished?

David {Ed001's Note - no, it is not a breach of contract with the player and the player is not liable for any kind of punishment due to the club's actions.}

I wonder if Rangers' players will come out firing on the weekend? Based on the fact they will be looking to impress other clubs enough to buy them soon.

Hoping the opposite is the case.

OR would you try a leg if you knew you wern't gonny pick up any wages at the end of it?
