The damning evidence held by “rangers ” as to the extent of malpractice or misgovernance or corruption or whatever it is they’re banging their chops about had been due to be released to other clubs today, but it has been delayed until Tuesday, presumably because the crayon shop is shut.
According to the Times, they are still working on how to present it, whilst according to the rest of us , they’re hoping someone will phone them with even the flimsiest of a story to get the ball rolling.
No wonder no one takes them seriously, and no wonder the other clubs will take great delight in reminding them that everyone got along just fine when they were finding their feet as a new club back at the start of the last decade, and everyone will get along just fine for the rest of this one.
Nearly a month has passed since they started weeping and wailing about life not being fair, and in doing that they said they had evidence that it wasn’t fair because they were being cheated by the authorities.
You’d think they’d want to show everyone how, but for some reason they’re keeping all the juicy bits to themselves, prompting suspicion that they are talking through a hole in their arse.
Actually, I think we can be pretty sure they’re talking through their arse, and it’s maybe time for the rest of the game to get used to the idea of carrying on without them, and not letting them drag the rest of us down with them.
The town called oblivion is about to get a new resident, who is remarkably similar to the last lot that moved in there.
There’s a meeting of the other clubs and the SPFL on May 12, where when they’ve finished laughing, they will call a halt to the proceedings, and on the advice of politicians , doctors and UEFA, they will call a halt to the season, and look to next season with a new 14 team Premiership and everyone else in groups of ten in a sort of pyramid system.
While the SPFL are involved in trying to help the clubs through these uncertain times, the SFA have been criticised for remaining silent and even accused of adopting a policy of “splendid inertia”.
Largely because when accusations of malpractice are being hurled around, they go into hiding in case anyone remembers the events of 2011-12, when they were at their machieavellian best, adjusting rules, regulations and blindfolds to allow Rangers to compete in Europe, which didn’t help them in the end, and the fear is that if anyone does start to produce evidence against the SPFL, well, who knows where it would stop.
Especially if Scotland’s dedicated investigative journalists get a sniff of a story….
Tom English has come under a lot of criticism for appearing to make the story into a “rangers 2 versus the SPFL ” issue, which he denied on Twitter…
Sorry, you’d trying to frame this purely as a Rangers versus SPFL thing. I have no interest in reducing it to just that. A lot more out there
Yes, there is, but he won’t find it where he’s looking, and bear in mind he hasn’t actually seen anything yet from Ibrox, no one has apparently, or it would be out there.
My guess is the BBC have been promised an early heads up and a couple of interviews once whatever it is breals, and English is trying to play for time until it does.
While he’s waiting, he’ll be pleased to know there is a lot more out there, and he can find it here…
Meanwhile, as Scottish football prepares for armageddon and possibly a brave new world in the aftermath, the SFA have sprung into action.
Children across Scotland can now play the roles of their favourite characters from Disney and Pixar’s global box office smash hit Incredibles 2 while staying active at home – thanks to a new initiative launched by UEFA and Disney.
Play at Home with Playmakers is an extension of UEFA’s first-ever pan-European grassroots programme for 5-8 year old girls, Playmakers, which uses Disney’s iconic storytelling to inspire regular exercise and kickstart a love of football.
With six chapters available to download from the www.uefa.com/playmakers website, parents and guardians can access free Disney and Pixar Incredibles 2 themed activities that explore each of the film’s main characters through elements of reading, playing, creating and telling.
Using movement and imagination, children will be able to imitate the film’s supers to stretch like Elastigirl, or take on superhuman strength like Mr Incredible, in fun activities that can be enjoyed by the whole family at home.
The campaign is being supported by Scotland international goalkeeper Craig Gordon, who took part in the activities with his daughters aged nine and six.
Craig said: “My girls absolutely love football now, and that’s thanks to getting creative with the way we play. They enjoy diving around like superheroes so we’re having a lot of fun using the activities from UEFA Playmakers – especially since it’s something we can easily do at home.
“Having Disney behind the storytelling is brilliant and something my girls are really excited about. As they’re already familiar with the characters and stories, it makes it a lot easier to introduce a sport like football that they may never have thought about playing before. It’s a really effective way of keeping them active while staying safe at home.”
Andrew Gould, Scottish FA Head of Football Development: “We are proud to be a part of the Playmakers programme and are excited by the online steps taken to ensure young girls across the country can continue to develop their football and life skills during the lockdown. There are many benefits both physically and mentally in keeping children active during this time, and this is a really innovative approach from UEFA by combining Disney storytelling to help children stay fit when regular participation methods are not possible. We hope many parents and children alike across Scotland have fun engaging with the programme at home.”
The power struggle will end with the SPFL taking control. They, after all, are the clubs, and the SFA are not.
Meanwhile , there is a light at the end of the tunnel, perhaps, for the cash strapped Ibrox club.
They’ve reportedly signed a kit deal with sports firm Castor, who recently were on the end of a massive £7.5m investment to allow them to move into the production and manufacture of football strips, and they’ve agreed to give “rangers ” up to £20m of that.
So the Sun and other outlets report, but obviously the key words here are “up to “….it might as well be “up to ” £50m, because we all know they will get nowhere near that.
If they get £1 a shirt they’d need to sell twenty million of them to get that, and their previous deal, with Mike Ashley, which could end up costing them £10m, saw them receive only 7p a shirt.
Still, the supporters like that kind of thing, and there’s news from england that could put ten in a row in serious jeopardy…
REVEALED: Premier League clubs have discussed making matches shorter than 90 minutes in a radical move as part of the Project Restart plans, says PFA chief Gordon Taylor
In August last year, Steven Gerrard claimed “rangers ” would have won the league if games had lasted 86 minutes, so he could say things are moving in his direction.
“Having analysed last season if the games finished after 86 minutes we’d have won the league. That’s the brutal truth,”
“We have to be better in our game management and when we get ourselves in a decent position we have to get over the line and find a way.
“You go back 12 months to Aberdeen and we put in an outstanding performance which probably deserved three points, playing a lot of the game with 10 men but again we conceded a late goal.
“Throughout the season fingers were pointed at us for conceding late goals or not finding that consistency. They are the things we want to try to rectify this season.”
No doubt if there had been any football in April, we’d have seen this as well…
But the harsh reality is that when games are played, and they last ninety minutes, Gerrard and his tribute act of a club routinely win the square root of fuck all.
Did someone say Patrick Roberts in and Maryan Shved out….?

“White Noise” coming from the mortally wounded, the white noise is their usual modus operandi, they growl when the strain becomes too much to Bear.
“Soiled Underwear” from the rest of the SPFL. clubs at the thought of losing the Bigot Blue Cheques. It’s the new dilemma- DNR. or CPR. Recent history (2011-12) tells us that its CPR. The question is: How long do they administer CPR?.
Either the “White Noise” continues and the SPFL. the clubs have to put up with it, or…
Its “Soiled Underwear” as crowds are reduced significantly and SKY- BBC- MSSM- Sponsorship all dry’s up. Less cash and some clubs go under.
For me the choice is simple, to support the club of my choice, get rid of the “White Noise” and get back to sporting integrity in a less hostile environment.

With every passing day more clubs get closer to administration this will be the sevco plan. Stall as much as they can to make sure more than enough clubs like them facing admin will not face point deductions. Sporting integrity my arse they care for no one as no one likes them they do loudly sing about.
We cannot continue as it is covid is a game changer a full reset is required.
To play out the season behind closed doors is nonsense we are not the English premiership our clubs need supporters through the turnstiles to pay their way.
Celtic stand alone as the most likely to stave off any admin but even we would be looking at September as a need to get some sort of league underway.
Let me ask this how many clubs are going to be around in September.
Players contracts will all be up you cant ask players to stay say if football is being played in other countries it would be only natural for them to want to move on.
There is a bigger picture than sevco making a nonsense of scottish football again and the media dont care.
Has Tom English asked any other club in Scotland what they think of the sevco allegation or to comment on how they think is best to put an end to this season. Nah hes a mouthpiece like the rest licking the sevco shite pipe for some rotten lamb to be served.
The league was a happier place without them.
Fans could enjoy cup finals and days out without the bigoted hoardes. We lost in Semi finals cheated by the men in black but did we riot no took it and moved on.
We gave 300k from our deserved prize back to two clubs who had lost out against not just playing us but sevco also.
What did sevco do zilch.
That my fellow Tim’s tell you all you need to know about who has the sporting integrity in this country.
They charged Hibs fans for celebrating a cup final they had waited over 100 years for the media came out that hibs fans had attacked sevco players and that is why sevco fans came onto the pitch.
That my fellow Tim’s says it all about the media in this country.
We as Celtic fans would probably have stood and applauded them for their long wait or simply left the stadium to let them have their day in peace.
That my fellow tims says all you need to about sevco fans in this country.
good point jimmy.

The Wankers tactics are to bring the Spfl down in the hope that the SFA will take over allowing them to have a soft liquidation, probably why they have done the deal with Castor Oil to alleviate their constipation on their fantastic eye opening dossier.
The journos especially the Billy Boys Club are pathetic in not challenging them, or are they afraid of the zombies.
I was thinking much the same. Put pressure on ,get UEFA comp confirmed,lose 15 points for this year .But. Season ticket sales would surely be horrendous , unless they get the money in early which isn’t going to happen.
With no moonbeams about fantasy investors is there a chance the DUP are going to provide a ‘ loan’ ?
Because Stormont was inactive for a long time , there is a huge budget surplus due to projects not getting voted on. Also add in the billion bung they got from Theresa . A lot of money sitting somewhere.
Apart from their statements about the SPFL , they have been too quiet.
If they do not hit the buffers in some way then new money has come from somewhere.
A lot of truth in there.

Its very infrequent but issue 6 has just been published and can be mail-ordered through their website.
I’m sick to the back teeth of Scottish football allowing that mob to dictate terms re the delivery of the ‘dossier’, which our board is complicit with. Why do they keep allowing them to unilaterally decide when it will be issued? The latest piss poor excuse they’ve come up with is as easy to see through as their previous lies yet still nothing. ‘Still deciding on how to present the document’. Total crap, put it in a package and courier it out (assuming they can afford to) or attach it as an email. Either the whole dossier has to be presented or none of it. If it only three members of the SPFL are needed to force through an EGM how many would it take to have it cancelled? Surely every club needs a reasonable amount of time to assess the ‘dossier’ and prepare a response. Why have we not called their bluff and prepared a resolution and sought support from other clubs which sets a deadline by which the ‘dossier’ must be submitted otherwise the EGM will be cancelled for good to allow the SPFL to focus on the huge issues faxing Scottish football right now? Lawell should be at the forefront of this, the time for dignified silence from Celtic has passed if the integrity of Scottish football has any chance of being restored.
I wonder if the ladies of the Eastern Star have the same ceremony? Mmmm.
I gather they take male members. Mmmm

BREAKING NEWS:
sevco have been called up the back for 6 of the best.
When you have a friend in Ireland you have a friend for life. Well done all of ye.
The organisers of a fundraising campaign for Native Americans hit by the coronavirus have thanked Irish donors for their support.
People from Ireland have been sending money through a ‘GoFundMe’ page set up to help Navajo and Hopi families, with many of the Irish donors saying it was a way of saying thank you for the support shown to Ireland during the Great Famine.
In 1847, the Choctaw Native American people sent $170 of relief aid to Ireland, the equivalent of around $5,000 today.
This came at a time when the Choctaw people themselves were living in relative poverty.
So far $1.7m of the fund’s $2m target has been raised and organisers have thanked Irish people for their support.
“Several of our recent donations for our GoFundMe campaign have been inspired by the Great Hunger Famine in Ireland which started in 1845”, said team member Vanessa Tulley.
“173 years later to today, the favour is returned through generous donations from the Irish people to the Navajo Nation during our time of crisis.
“Thank you, Ireland, for showing solidarity and being here for us,” she said.
Irish donor, Pat Hayes, sent a message of support along with his donation.
“From Ireland, 170 years later, the favour is returned! To our Native American brothers and sisters in your moment of hardship”, he wrote.
In March 2018, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar visited the Choctaw community in Oklahoma to thank them for their generosity to Ireland during the famine.
Mr Varadkar also announced the establishment of a scholarship programme allowing members of the Choctaw Native American community to come to Ireland to study.
A sculpture called ‘Kindred Spirits’ in Midleton, Co Cork, commemorates the generosity shown to Ireland by the Choctaw people.
