Come on AWB, name names.

And who are the conspirators then?

Semi Final call for dinner, reservations close at KO in sunny Palmerston 5.30pm (other than for those who have indicated that they cannot confirm until tomorrow).

Do you believe there is some grand conspiracy against Rangers and Mr King?

Last call for dinner, reservations close at KO in sunny Palmerston 5.30pm (other than for those who have indicated that they cannot confirm until tomorrow).

What "events are conspiring against" King at the moment? Surely his problems are historical are they not?

08/05/2015 Counter Credit PLGS ARMY BGC £10.75 Balance £188.78 Updated numbers: 14 paid & 4 more possibles; so we have 14-18 + the speaker, total of 15-19 at this time.

A slight boost to the possible numbers is that there are now 2x2 to confirm one way or another on Sunday, so 13 paid, 1 other committed but not paid and 4 more possibles; so we seem to have 14-18 + the speaker, total of 15-19 at this time.

The game at Ibrox is a 3.30pm KO so we won't be gathering till much before about 5.45pm and will be in no rush but hope to start the dinner around 6.00/6.15pm. If there is extra time and/or penalties add 30/45 minutes to that obviously. Don't worry we'll keep some curry in the pot for you rbr!

Apparently the issue is that they tend to get quite a few in after the matches so are reluctant to give us the whole place unless we can justify the numbers and that has the knock on effect to the speaker. That would not necessarily rule out Robert speaking to whoever is there so to speak (provided there are no strays from other parts!) which might work because he will be delayed at the press conference so dinner will most likely be finished by the time he gets there. I will speak to them over the weekend.

08/05/2015 Bluedell Counter Credit BGC £10.75 Balance £178.03 We now have 13 paid, only 1 other committed but not paid and 2 more possibles; so we may seem to have 14-16 + the speaker, total of 15-17 at this time. On this basis I will have difficulty making the argument for getting the restaurant to ourselves.

Possibly but this is not exactly a political story at least not in the party political sense.

What is the significance of today in this respect?

I disagree, this is not guilty until proven innocent. It is more likely that we (the SFA) are aware of your convictions in SA, Mr King that carry sentences of 2 years or more on each count and on the face of it therefore, you do not meet the fit and proper criteria set out at 10.2 (h) in our rules. If you disagree with this interpretation, Mr King, please tell us why we should view these convictions in some other light? In other words present us with information which mitigate the convictions. Clubs are obliged to include details of "all officials, office-bearers, secretary, directors or members of the board of directors or the board of management or committee of such member, Team Staff, with their full designation, profession, business or occupation and full service address," in their Annual Return and the SFA are entitled to consider whether any such person is "fit and proper" to hold such office. However, as I understand it, it was Mr King who pre-empted the situation by asking the SFA to consider his status ahead of taking up a position on the Board or investing any money directly into the Club.

That's all correct IMHO and exactly what I said at #7. The question poised by the OP was not is DK fit and proper it was why is there a delay in making the decision.

I'm just commenting on the precedure and why there might be a delay at this point whereas PM has been approved. I don't think anyone has argued that there isn't a prima facie case against him being fit and proper based on the crtieria in the SFA Rules. My point is really that it's up to him to prove otherwise it's not up to the SFA to do that. I am long past the point where I am arguing the merits of his case, these arguments have been very well rehearsed.

The other Gersnetter who asked for payment details has had a bereavement in his family and therefore unlikely to attend. I think that overall we are now in some difficulty. We have 12 paid, only 1/2 others not paid of whom I am fairly confident and 2 more possibles; so we may be as low as 13/14 + the speaker. On this basis I have no argument for getting the restaurant to ourselves.

Thanks for letting me know; can you please PM or email me asap when you have an update.

He will be presumed not fit and proper on the SFA criteria and it will be up to him to prove otherwise. I would think that at the outset they would have said to him that it appears you are not fit and proper on our criteria, what do you have to say to that? I suspect that whatever he has said or whatever documents he has provided, has not changed their minds (except in relation to the Whyte era) and that they will have said to him recently, we are minded to find that you are not fit and proper but we are happy to give you a further period to prove otherwise. If he is challenging the validity of his self confessed convictions in SA, then it is difficult to know what documentation he might provide.

£10.75 per person; please see the OP for details.

That seems sensible but probably needs a rule change.

Alfredo di Stefano is a good shout but it's the one and only Alexei Mikhailichenko for me followed of course by a certain Mr Hemdani. Seriously has to be Messi, no other player mentioned is faced with packed defences week in week out and still scores record numbers of goals.
