I know the stadia of other clubs are either ramshackle tumbledowns or rancid cesspits but I used to enjoy the old Easter Road especially the top tier of the terracing opposite the stand. Anyone else with a less than grudging word about opposition parks?

Was it not the COPFS rather than the cops? I think the Lord Advocate and the Justice Mis-manager are in at nights and the weekends raking through everything to find the stuff.

Not a very exciting pedigree. The Stuttgart academy and downhill thereafter. At least we know Dykes can hoof the ball i to the celtic net.

I don’t know what areas of law Mr Deans practises in nor at what level but there was a time when Hearts could have had some friendly advice from a couple of High Court judges and a Sheriff-Principal. The Kelty Hearts are apparently ready to have a go. Just needs Buchanhaven to join up for a trio.

Just the two stars, then?

According to Follow Follow this is a letter from Leslie Deans to Mrs Budge. In my opinion, There are a minimum of 3 grounds which would entitle Hearts, Partick Thistle, Stranraer and perhaps Rangers, to institute civil court proceedings against SPFL and the clubs who voted to expel the first 3 clubs.Firstly, the clubs formed a common purpose. In the case of the premiership , that was to play 38 games against each other with club 12 to be relegated after these games were played. A common purpose creates a duty of care to each other. The actions of certain other members breach that duty. Additionally the SPFL must act in the best interest of all member clubs and I believe they have failed to do so. Their actions and conduct are set out in the dossier prepared by Rangers. The excuse given for abandoning the current campaign is that they want to start a new campaign, excluding Hearts from the Premiership. The chairman of SPFL has stated he hopes this can happen by July. By committing to a new campaign with a different membership , before the existing campaign is complete , a breach of duty occurs.Secondly, there was material non disclosure by SPFL in their briefing pack to clubs on April 8. As I understand it, no reference was made to the potential rebate claim by broadcasters if the league was called early. Additionally no other options than early termination were presented to clubs who were told this was the only feasible option. It was not. By their actions and omissions SPFL did not act in the best interest of all clubs.Thirdly, the SPFL motion was not passed. Dundee FC were not legally entitled to change their vote after it was cast. The motion failed and no further motion has been put to the clubs. SPFL are acting illegally.The pursuers only need to convince the court on any one of these 3 grounds to win the case.If so, the following remedies should be sought1- Interdict against SPFL starting a new campaign until the current one is finished, whenever that might be.2- damages for actual and potential financial loss stemming from their expulsion.3- the expenses of litigation.Yours FaithfullyLeslie Deans” Interesting. I wonder if “common purpose” applies and if so whether it’s overcome by impossibility of performance? Has “non disclosure” been tacitly approved by the rejection of the Rangers application for an independent enquiry? Do I remember rightly that the Dundee vote change was ok under company law? If I knew the answers to these questions I wouldn’t be asking them but Junior Counsel has advised that Rangers have a good chance of succeeding in a Court action. I read that as 60/40 at best. Too big a risk.

How about the Freiburg Masons?

My knowledge of German football is shallow. From what I know, here is my prediction: St Pauli kaput. Sorry, can’t add more.

Better than that, I remember when celtic weren’t even flower girls. Hibs, Hearts and Dundee were the competition. Even East Fife Were better than them for a season. However, that detracts from Bill’s absolutely valid assessment. There is a big improvement in the club’s corporate governance. Much more is to be done. It needs aggression underpinned by wiliness. Who will be our Fergus McCann? I don’t mind if whoever it is takes a profit. He’ll deserve it.

Ederson (City) Baresi (AC) Bobby Johnstone (Hibs, City) Niko Jelavic (Rangers) Willie Fernie (Celtic)

A very well crafted statement. Not a word out of place. Suitably gracious but do I detect a note of menace? The difference between this and the stuff Traynor used to churn out is as day from night.

Probably booed him off the park

The Caley are playing a blinder here. That’s the third time in as many days that I’ve said something similar. Astonishing.

Do you need 75% support for that or are you just going to do it anyway?

Forgive me, mother, father but it’s got to be said: ”C’waaaay Caleee”

Anybody else get the email from the Irish Ambassador?

I’m not in the GNPL but myself and my nephew in Fife are top of our respective diddy prediction leagues. If this means we cannot now join GNPL we’ll issue a joint statement after taking advice on board.

Hamburg since the days of Uwe Seeler.

Hmmm. That sounds like 60/40 at best. I prefer m’learned friends to tell me the Court will almost certainly make an order.

None of the images at #58 is very appealing.

I didn’t expect that.

Even a Paisley reject can occasionally be right. Most of us were saying that in January. Just to be clear, celtic can’t be champions, only winners of a curtailed competition.

SG is preparing something more draconian.

The usual Stubbsian philosophy ..... except ..... except “Plus, if anything, if the season had continued, I could only see the gap between the two clubs becoming even wider. “For me, it’s not even up for discussion because Celtic would have finished even further ahead. “Rangers had been more or less admitting that their season was over before the lockdown even happened and they were only ever playing for second place this year. “Last December when Rangers bossed Celtic at Parkhead we thought we had a genuine title race but then the wheels fell off for them. They have been really poor since the winter break. “Sometimes you look outside for excuses but it’s better to look at home for them. They only have themselves to blame for that.“ I might be able to argue that but I doubt if I would persuade many.

They didn’t want him to tell Deloitte where to look for the skeletons.
