i read Lennon is looking to see if anything can be done to get this **** prosecuted properly (maybe take the trial anywhere but Scotland and it might be easier to get a prosecution), i don't know any facts so it could be nonsense.

I mean there were lots of witnesses to the sectarian element also, its funny that they didn't think it was 'proven'.
Sounds like the prosecution passed over a slam dunk in favour of a more risky proposition?

There wasn't any risk though. Not realistically anyway. I suppose they forgot the stupidity and prejudiced nature of the average member of the public.

All the papers here were raging yesterday, was front page of them all with something similar to the image of him lunging at Lennon with headlines 'how is this not assault'

Such a ridiculous verdict, I'm sure we could understand him getting off with the sectarian aspect but for his assault case to not be proven is a ****ing joke.

Incase anyone has missed it here's the Scotland starting line-up for tomorrow

McGregor, Hutton, Caldwell, Berra, Bardsley, Naismith, Fletcher, Adam, Brown, Morrison, Miller


Strongest looking team I can remember for a while, reckon we'll win 2-0

This Czech team isn't a patch on the Czech teams of old so I'd expect/hope Scotland will be too strong at home for them.

2-1 Scotland

From Rangers Tax Case:

My info (which is all off the record but has been broadly correct so far) is as follows.

Nonsense correspondence from RFC before the court action is raised, along the lines of please re-direct this bill to Sir David Murray.

Once court action is raised outrageous defence lodged which refuses even to admit that LM acted for RFC in the business in question, hiding behind the takeover as excusing that alleged lack of knowledge.

Hearing last Friday at which LM’s lawyers jump up and down about the state of the defence and at which the judge gives RFC a ticking off and allows them a week to put their house in order and set out whether there is a real defence.

Start of this week LM intimate an intention to ask for a warrant for arrestment of RFC’s bank accounts, no doubt prompted by the HMRC activity.

Response from RFC in the middle of the week is to offer to pay the bill in full together with the interest and the court costs in order to avoid the hearing on Friday.

LM insist on cleared funds by close of play today. Indication from RFC about Wed afternoon/evening that there should be no problem about that. Matters of detail discussed such as precise calculation of interest and account details for electronic transfer.

Then today…no money, no explanation, no-one answering the phone.

So its not a question of hardball to get a deal at the last minute. I’m told they said they’d pay it in full but just haven’t and no-one in authority there is taking calls.

The newsrooms are buzzing this evening with rumours that admin may come as early as next week.
this is happening.

Is this still kinda residual fallout from the Advocaat madness?

Rangers going out of business would be pretty dismal for Celtic I would have imagined.

Advocaat was not the architect for their problems, i seen his name in one headline but really they should be talking about Murray.

i'm not certain of the timeline for all this, but it dates back to 1999 at least.

very informative^^.

normally i'd say the same Zammo, but after last season and the attacks on Lennon I now say **** them all the way to hell.

Interesting game at Parkhead tomorrow

Would like to think we can give you a game but most likely it'll be 2 or 3 nil. Hopefully we go out and attack and aim every ball and every run in the direction of the big lump Majstorovic as he's bound to make at least a couple of mistakes.

Would bite your hand off for a draw but my prediction is 3-1 home win but I wouldn't be too shocked if we made a decent game of it. Rangers game aside we have been tremendous this season

Ki/Kayal/Ledley/Forrest is a pretty potent midfield.

Good to see Ledley hitting the scoresheet early on, I'd like to see him get more involved offensively this season.
