10. Ally McCoist reacts to the transfer embargo by demanding to know the identities of the judicial panel that handed down the verdict, despite his club agreeing that their identities should remain private for fear of reprisals, which came soon enough when the three-man panel was named. “Make no mistake about it,” said the Rangers manager. “This panel is not totally to blame for the death of our football club if it happens, but this particular decision could k1ll our football club.” Not McCoist’s finest hour.
9. Brian Kennedy’s involvement in the takeover story was always bizarre. “I’ll take it or leave it,” he said about his interest in buying the club. “I know this sounds a bit smarmy, but I feel a social responsibility to make sure this great institution doesn’t disappear. Maybe I’ve suffered a l-obotomy without realising it.”
8. The plot against Ally McCoist. In the beginning, Charles Green was a baddie who was reported to be
plotting to get rid of his manager, who did nothing to shoot down the story when it first emerged, the story being written by James Traynor, who is
now Green’s big mate. At that point, Green’s goose looked well and
truly cooked. You couldn’t see him recovering from this apparent act of treachery.
7. Charles Green makes Lazarus look like a warm-up act. He had John Brown baying for his head, he had the fans in a state of r-ebellion, he had
McCoist refusing to come to his rescue and from that impossible position he was won everybody over. The man is a marvel. He’s even got Walter Smith in the door. Not long ago, Smith saw him as bad news.
6. The SFA’s judicial panel report and the things it said about Sir David Murray, some of them via Martin Bain. Bain said he expressed concern to Murray about his lack of due diligence on Craig Whyte before selling the club to him. He presented Murray with a copy of an investigation into the business background of Whyte but if Murray read it then he didn’t place much store in it. Later, Murray said Whyte duped him.
5 Clip art and Craig Whyte’s homemade invoices. You couldn’t make it up. Er...
4. The strange case of Mr Red as told in the FTT report. Mr Red was a senior member of the Murray Group’s tax function and the scourge of the tribunal. “The protracted and chequered course of the enquiry was largely due to a lack of candour and co-operation from Mr Red,” writes Dr Heidi Po-on, the dissenting voice on the panel. A few days later, Rangers fans were still slamming the delays in the case being resolved. Murray’s man Mr Red was part of the reason.
3 Craig Whyte comes clean about Ticketus, kind of. Having said for months and months that he had lodged his own money in an account to buy Rangers, he finally admits that he didn’t, and that the money was from Ticketus. In the same statement he said he was considering donating his shares to a Rangers foundation and that he still saw himself as something of a hero in this farrago. B-onkers.
2. The p-0rn star. Needs no further
explanation.
1. The laugh out loud moment to beat them all. Whyte’s assertion that Prince Albert of Monaco was poised to invest in Rangers. Yes, Craig. Of course he was.
Do you have a scrap book, TC?
Ath,
You know I'm not that obssessed
The works of Tom English
My personal number 1.. All those Rangers fans handing over thousands of £££ to Mr. Custard
Bluenose clowns looking after their own.
The works of Tom English
its no me thats obssessed
a big boy done it and ran away
“This panel is not totally to blame for the death of our football club if it happens, but this particular decision could k1ll our football club.” Not McCoist’s finest hour.
17. The rise and fall of rangerstaxcase, the blogging phenomenon that led the way on the reporting of Rangers’ EBT travails, only to get so emboldened by its own success that it misread the judgment when it finally arrived, tweeting about his victory only to realise shortly after that it was actually a defeat. Where has he gone? And will he return?
without doubt my favorite the hunter has become the hunted
To be fair, some of them are crackers.
Had a chuckle when I read this last night.
19. A day in June when John Brown, outside the front door at Ibrox, did his own unique version of Martin Luther King’s I Have A Dream as he attacks Charles Green and declares that he’s putting together his own consortium to “buy them oot". His audience is agog at his oratory. “People ask me who’s yer investors. Youse! My
investors are youse!" Cue rapturous
applause, much swearing and lots more Bomber.
===================================
Oh Bomber!!!!!
i think its all a bit unfair on bomber, the fella isnt quite right.
we dont ridicule frank magarvie or bertie auld when they talk pash, well i suppose we do
To sum up a year and it's all about Rangers
Nothing tops..
Celtic 2-1 Barcelona
The whole world was talking about that
Brilliant OP and yes to sum up a year the headlines that have made us - have all eminated from Govan
Merry Xmas x x x
Its nice to see what a tim counts as the highlights of his year. Not winning the league, not getting that elusive away win in Europe, not beating one of the top club sides in the world, not progressing into the last 16 of the CL, not the fact they are still top of the league despite sketchy form, not still being in all competitions so far. No it's all about Rangers; the only show in town.
