I think he was jesting, BH. A man of wit is Uilleam.

The season of the Imps. Sorry for Burnley though not for Barton. City fail to score and Town still in it. Chelsea tame the Wolves. Boro beat Oxford. Lions too good for Foxes.

Dolly's Brae? Political innit?

Lockwood was an authorised agent. If he exceeded his agent's powers that's MW's problem.

No. BH knows about Scott, McMillan, Millar, Brand and Wilson. TE on the other hand knows nothing about Rangers.

Ozil under-performing again.

Why do I feel squeamish about the word "Volunteer"?

I've no doubt you're a man of considerable abilities as evidenced by many useful posts on this board but that is your finest hour. Even Mrs 7 laughed.

I sense a new agenda to separate the fans from the club. They've tried everything else. This would be a killer if it worked. It won't.

I took Compo's advice, changed my mind and replied. With regard to the Cameronian's post above I twice heard Peter Martin (?) former sellick PR wittering on late night Radio 4 news programmes deploring in a reasonable sounding way football violence and sectarianism but making it clear more in sorrow than in anger it was all Rangers' fault. I told R4 about the man's pedigree and I haven't heard him on proper wireless since then. I also told them to be careful about "experts" put up by BBC Scotland because they were all nags from the same stable. Even better I had correspondence with PM tormenting him about his bias which in a four page apologia he was unable to deny. He passed the baton to the above-mentioned Mrs Miller who could fare no better. After all, you're only as good as your ammunition in these things. Ultimately she agreed to write to the Lord Provost of Glasgow suggesting that she, the LP, emulate Rotterdam's civic head by condemning the use of sport for political or religious platforms. Nothing came of that, of course, and not having the honour of being a citizen of Glasgow, I could not take it further. Both Miller and Martin departed from NBM soon afterwards. At about the same time I was in touch with Edinburgh North LibDem, Donald Gorrie, who had entered the anti-Rangers fray with astonishing vigour to represent upper middle class Scotland in chastising working class bigots. In fairness to him he admitted that he had not really been aware of the Republican aspect of the problem and he piped down a bit. Responding to inaccuracies put forward as gospel and shining a lamp on ignorance are never a waste of time. There's no need to rant and rave. A measured response relying on facts only drives them wild.

Some managers like to be left alone. Beckenbauer used to stand motionless and isolated on the touchline

Chelsea City Gunners Hotspurs

Preussens Gloria be ok, dB? That's a crash bang walloper if ever there was one. Makes heavy metal sound like a harp.

I don't bother with BBC Scotland nowadays but I was in someone else's domain for five minutes this evening and I heard a snooty Irishman yapping that you can only resign from a job in writing. I wonder if he brings this level of ignorance to all of his proclamations.

True but is that DK's scenario?

Buy the shares and you own the company. The company owns the assets subject to any securities. So as BH says, you have to ask the Bank for £100 to buy the shares and in addition £300 to put into the company's bank account. The investment in the company is £300. The total cost is £400. The Bank makes two separate appraisals or more likely a single overall appraisal. Speaking loosely you could say you have invested £400 to acquire and therafter operate the company but the true investment, the money the company gets as opposed to the money the seller of the shares gets is £300.

Depends what you're appraising.

I very much doubt that Kitchenbrand would have been worried. A man well equipped to look after himself.

He may have a point. I don't know. If he has, it's hidden in an article written in the Ian Archer, semi-comical, post-Groucho, noveau-obscure style of Scottish sports journalism. Is he saying Rangers fans are daft? Aye, you an' aw, Billy boy.

Wim Jannsen is just the fellow we need.

So, Gribz gets four results out of seven with two correct scores. Cigar? Small one.

0 - 0 half time, 5 - 0 final. Forrest 4, Willoughby 1. Alan McGraw playing for Morton, 101,000 spectators.

I mind it fine.

Gunners 2 Hull 0. Gribz is on fire.

Played thirteen years for Newcastle, came from near Prudhoe. Seems Magpie-ish.
