Judge has encouraged them to come to a deal with the guy which I would like to think means the appeal is pretty unlikely to succeed. Apparently they have been spending lots of cash on some Malaysian businessman trying to convince him to buy the club by showing him the best Glasgow (and Renfrewshire has to offer).

Interesting. There is something about the name 'Rangers'

Not today but while Scotland were scaring the Germans, Albania were killing Portugal in their own back yard http://youtu.be/kktIrerybqE

Yep Tuesday morning to see if armageddon part 2 kicks off

There may be 10 years of hassle... or it could be the smoothest transition in history. And it is that doubt that the Yes campaign just cannot shake. They just haven't had the time

Unfortunately short term thinking is a hazard of politics. 5 years of a government that folks are unhappy with and the new party comes in to great fanfair. Within 6 months to a year the people are complaining and within 2 years a sizeable chunk of their voters will have turned on them because essentially nothing has changed and they aren't millionaires. 4-5 years later there is talk of the former lot getting back in because they will know what to do and everything will be fantastic. And the cycle continues It would be great if everyone was content with the possibility that things might be hard, inconvenient or perhaps downright miserable for a decade while the new country finds its feet and all those teething issues are worked out but eventually you will never have it better. But 10 years is a long time if you are looking over your shoulder at redundancy and keeping your family fed and in a suitable/ nice house. Is 10 years of hassle worth it if you are a pensioner and will be dead by the time it could be great. The romantic notion of 'doing it for future generations' does not fit with a capitalist 'Me' society where its get what you can quickly and sod the rest. As was mentioned earlier I also feel the whole thing has been rushed. 3 years of talk followed by 18 months campaigning is not enough to decide the future of a 5million+ country. To put it into a a bit of perspective it has taken Tesco more than 6 years of negotiating, campaigning, researching etc to finally obtain outline planning permission for a medium sized supermarket on a former industrial yard in the West End of Glasgow. It will take them another 1-2 years of research, feasibility studies, meetings etc before they can obtain formal planning permission. It will be almost a decade by the time the place finally opens (if indeed it does) and that building will only impact the people in the G11 & G14 Postcodes. Exactly how much research and feasibility has been put into the yes or no campaigns because the closer we get to the date the more I see 'Opinions' being banded about as 'facts'? A skill in debating is being able to anticipate what the other person may be thinking and putting yourself in their place for a short while so you can at least try to understand why they don't agree with you. There is a distinct lack of that in both sides of the campaign and for me it has been even worse than a general election. As an undecided the last thing that will convince me to vote either way is someone using the phrase ' I cant understand how anyone could even think of voting <insert yes or no>. But we are stuck with the date now so we all need to get on with it. I just hope that come September 19th everyone just accepts the decision and gets on with it.

Joan Rivers - 81 not that you could really tell

Good to know another potential source of income has now been blocked for fuck all

Third time lucky?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29036244 Anything else we can do for you sir? How about next year we let you go on a grand tour of the world and just put down that you beat everyone 3-0? Fuck sake every club had more than 3 months to get themselves sorted!

Jimi Jamison - Lead Singer of Survivor (and the Baywatch Theme Tube)

He's the new Darren Bent

Think you might want to spend some time in the North of England and see how they feel about the way Englandshire is Governed. Think the Midlands/ Birmingham etc will have some choice views too.

out of non drunken interest should a No vote come up where exactly are you going to go?

Warsaw Fans last night

Derek Adams first casualty of the season http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28966439

Well Hibs turned it round but Man United....... oh dear

Mitch Megginson just put Dumbarton 1-0 up at Hibs. I know they are in the same division but i'd still put that down as a shock if the Sons hold out Meanwhile Halftime down Milton Keynes Way MK Dons 1-0 Man united.

I'd give Logan pass marks given for most of the 2nd half he seemed to be marking about 3-4 Saints players while his midfield went AWOL Found myself waiting for Flood to take someone out and get sent off.

In Train with the other Glasgow Reds followed probably by random perth pub before taxi or walk to the ground Vice Versa 0-0 (Ive never seen a goal scored at McDiarmed Park Feet up in the flat unless I get hijacked into Dows etc

shock horror http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28753686 Am I right in thinking that even if the CAS ruled in Warsaw's favour UEFA would just ignore it?

The next model up from Dunfermlines?
