I was pleased to hear that Mr Paul Murray was out for a relaxing evening in Glasgow recently.
Given the amount of pro bono work he does for Sevco, it is only fair that gets some well-deserved R & R.
I’m told that he took in the excellent match between Glasgow Warriors and Munster.
Mr Murray was accompanied by ex-Warriors player who is well disposed towards the Holding Company Vehicle.
In terms of high net worth individuals, it was a target rich environment.
The Engine Room Subsidiary representative was keen to chat to these fellows about an exciting investment opportunity at Edmiston Drive.
However, an official of the Glasgow rugby club politely told the immaculately coiffed factotum that it was not his room to work!
I’m reliably informed that the men from the west of Ireland won by a single point.
It is by such narrow margins that Sevco is currently surviving as they continue to bleed money.
Of course, this also means that I can now casually throw in the outcome of a rugby match into the next chat I have with my Square Mile scrum half.
I suspect he just might be coloured impressed…

It seems that the Daily Rectum is correct – well stranger things have happened – Doncaster is no longer on the Executive Board of the European Professional Football Leagues – hence Scotland is no l;onger represented.

As Marco Brunelli of Italy demonstrates, there’s no limit on serving two consecutive terms.
When are ex Celtic and other players going to have the balls to tell the truth about Sevco????? Dalglish now, one of my former heroes (NOT NOW) saying they’re still a big club and will be back at the top in a few years! FFS give us a break, what is it all these tossers are afraid of? Time for ex players and clubs to tell the truth about these cheating, lying con men. They don’t give a flying feck about Scottish football, only they’re queen and country establishment club. So grow some balls and tell it like it is, they’re fecked so tell the TRUTH!! All your doing is promoting a dead institution that will only survive through people like you promoting them!! In sporting terms if you’re too thick to comprehend, they are no longer and don’t deserve to be no longer!!!! I.e Gretna and others like them. They fecked THE taxman and hundreds of creditors, they are no longer, finito, caput done, goodbye and goodnight to Sevco 5088 or whom ever they’re called. My blood is feckin boiling!! King this, breadman this give us all a break and feck off for good. PS CELTIC FFS TRY AND JOIN THE EPL!!
Jimbo, frustrating as the whole Sevco fiasco is, a rant on here is not the answer. Anyway, I’ve laughed more than gotten irate reading/listening to the hordes of ex-footballers etc. willing to take the ‘queen’s shilling’ and extol the virtues and necessities of having a “rangers” in any form. Your ‘rant’ should be directed at Peter Lawwell, directly, and it’s easy enough to do that. A more productive avenue may be to politely question the BBC. The BBC is force-funded by us, the licence-payers; it is therefore answerable to us. An organised assault in the BBC’s direction will, almost definitely, prove fruitful. This must be both North and South of the ‘border’; the London-based BBC will be being fed horseshit from Scotland to provide the ‘continuation myth’.
Personally, I’ve contacted respected (International) newspapers without success; this does not mean success cannot be achieved, but, more likely, I haven’t convinced them, YET.
Worry not about any perceived ‘telling off’ from me about your rant; I have been known to make less intelligible, more vitriolic rants than anything you’ve said.
However, we must never let this go until all those involved throughout the Ibrox shambles are brought to book.
Title-stripping only refers to that bastard Murray who pays no tax but is gifted with everything the UK (Scotland’s masonic fraternity) can bestow on him. Check out his latest gifts for housing development around Edinburgh. A fucking national disgrace. I say “title-stripping” only refers to Murray; that is absolutely correct. The application of extant Scottish football rules will re-appropriate ALL trophies stolen by the now defunct Rangers(IL).
Let’s go. Let’s really go, BBC, International and get this all sorted once and for all.
FFS, don’t let apathy into your veins; if the Truth doesn’t out now, much worse than this will come to pass.
Try explaining that to your children and grandchildren, i.e. that you were there but chose apathy over action.
what are they scared of?, that is easy. anybody who speaks out (the truth is even worse) about all the goings on, anything negative at all or even worse….that they died then they would be a target for the baying mob. ie: kids threatened, windows smashed…that type of lovely stuff.
journalists also…its a shame but all part of our small bigoted country unfortunately.
HH
Your problem there ( apart from the EPL sides not wanting Celtic there) is that everyone … And I mean EVERYONE.. Media , pundits, associations and clubs themselves seem to lump US snd ‘them’ together whether it is a move to a UK or Atlantic league structure . Like some dreadful , hopeless (very distant) relation that turns up at a family event and you can never get rid of. (Or a turd that just won’t flush ! )
If management, board and ex-players would admit the truth AND distance ourselves from the ‘stain of Sevco’ then we could move forwards.
I’d love a move ( in say 2021 after ’10’) to an Atlantic league .. But only if we’ve managed to shake off the ‘auld jakey uncle’ who keeps turning up to weddings and parties.
A turd that won’t flush. Brilliant and true terminology imo
Well said that man
Oh I get it, skint FC are skint…
Mr Murray is taken remedial action aprops decifit funding but Mr King is just making himlook like an escaped goat.
I think there bromance might be over but wer’e still alive and going for 55.
Surely you should be looking for titles number 1 – 54 first.
Is the “escaped goat” being chased by gents in bowler hats?
Will this be done at Ibrox by a conflicted local UEFA delegate?
2016/17 UEFA Europa League regulations
27.04 Each association on whose territory matches are played is responsible for:
b. confirming to the UEFA administration that the stadiums, including their facilities (emergency lighting system, first aid facilities, type of protection against intrusion by spectators into the playing area, etc.), have been thoroughly inspected by the competent public authorities and meet all the safety requirements laid down by the applicable national law.

Have the SFA mega brains gamed the scenario that they lie (again) to get Rangers a Euro licence, then Rangers fail to play matches because they go bust (again).
Mike, wouldn’t that just be exquisite revenge – two for the price of one?
Go on, go on, go on, you know you want to 🙂
A common denominator between this site, The Clumpany and JJ, is COMEDY.
I am fully aware that, Scottish football, the SFA, the late Glasgow Rangers, the son of Rangers, AKA Sevco which rose on the third day, a cast of mottley charachters with names that sound like they were made up purely for comedic effect, like “Sandy Chugg”, Chris, peace be upon him, Graham, Baron Bouffont, etc, etc, etc provide an excellent spring board for giggles galore, however, all three bloggers never disappoint with their articles.
Phil’s brand is ofen of the, did you see what I did there, variety.
Clumps is staight out satirical farce, that never misses its intended target.
JJ’s laughs are,I think, typified by todays offering in his article “The UEFA winter of discontent”. I advise you to read his description of Chris Boyd. I can’t copy and pase it and it’s too long to re-write, so have a look and I’m sure there will feel a sensation in your funny bone.
I’m still laughing and I will be for the rest of the day.
Chapeau.
There is only one ‘t’ in motley..
THANK YOU
There’s only one T in Scotland….TIMS.
Aye, but there’s two in Muttley.
Goodness Spammy,
Did you invest in a dictionary? I’m so happy for you to have taken the next step toward FOOL literacy,well done.Now,go to the back of the class,sit in your special chair,next to the open window that has a thirty foot drop.!!!
ps.I have so FALLEN for your ‘idiot’ act,that now I honestly don’t know wether you really are as thick as you make out.And if that is the case,you really should consider a career ‘Treading the boards’
And that’s nothing to do with walking the plank,but it is an option.Am kidding you on Spammy.Honest.
MERRY CHRISTMAS SAMMY&FRIENDS.keep the repartee coming.No Sale/Surrender,if there is a sail it’s NOT a sailing reference,it’s just your patois rubbin’ aff.
Hail! Hail! Phil great stuff.
No, thank you.
Head & Shooders should start going round the golf clubs and bowling greens… lots of spare change rattling around there…
Oh shit.. as I write this waffle, I’m thinking (à la Charlie N) maybe the Carefully Coiffed Chancer will be taking note of my idea … and use it to get Sevco into the CL !!!
I noticed him there and was seriously unimpressed with the company that ex-warriors keep.BTW you should try Scotstoun next time you’re over. Excellent game, support and craic, might even help you with some rugger terminology.
Murray the Mendicant panhandling in Rugby hospitality. Don’t tell him about the Wise Man bringing gold to Jesus or he’ll be working the Nativity plays over the next few weeks.
‘Murray working the Nativity plays’ .
‘Mr Murray, I’ll say it again, this is not your Nativity play to work!’ 😀
Ask the factotum if they’ve tried chasing wedding motors yet, Phil.
I got mair last week than Sevco will pull in for the rest o this year, wance Ah’d kicked aw the weans oot the wey.
Are you implying for our benefit that ‘Rugger Guy’ is none other than JJ, Phil ?!
Shurely shome mishtake!
Having enjoyed some most enjoyable hospitality courtesy of the SRU post Six Nations and Autumn Series matches over a number of years, I cam imagine the indecent haste at which Mr Murray was put right.
While many of the 250 guests at such events are from the business sector, and at a very high level (!), business opportunities are NOT discussed….rugby is the only business to be enjoyed.
Mr Murray has been badly advised if he felt that the pickings were there for the taking.
ITEMS UNDER A TENNER!
For sale ; One biscuit tin, well used, however, in excellent condition.
For sale : One begging bowl or bhegging bhowl, contrary to popular myth, unused.
Both items to a good home.
NB : C.O.D
AND OUR LAST MINUTE SPECIAL:
One basket of assets, shit condition, only offers of a pound or less could be considered.
Unless you’re dealing with Dave King, in which case that will be 20 million, cash up front, thanks.
One basket of assets. Non runner. Spares or repair.
offers of £1.00……OVNO
PS: No time wasters PLEEEEEEEASE!!!!
Phil
Are you trying to tell us that the Warriors are not interested in signing Waghurn, Windarse, Rosswiler, or any other the other robust TRFC athletes?
They could go on to be rugger players – they are definitely not fitballers.
Talking Rugby. It will be interesting to see how the Sports Media in England report the Liquidation of London Welsh Rugby Club, They also play in the British and Irish Cup so will the Irish Media report it as well?
A quick visit to the Guardian app will show the story was carried in full within an hour of the club going into Voluntary Liquidation….as a main UK story and not buried in a rugby corner.
Not a rugby fan l never noticed the liquidation of LW.
Will they be doing a ‘RFC 1872-2012’ and come back under another guise, as zombies do, and expect the taxman and creditors to accept this farce?
King Kenny no more either, he is basically saying they never went away….
as the old bigoted club is currently going through liquidation.
Shame on you Kenny!
Heaven forbid that would collapse the scrum on top of Mini. It would ruin his hair.
Hello! Hello! There already is a strong rugger element at Ibrox: note the numbers that leave on or about 80 minutes
Don’t forget the 15 man team …
They don’t like it up and under them Captain Mainwaring!
