This is probably the correct time to take a few days off from this craic.
It is my intention to be back here on Stephen’s Day.
In the meantime dear reader, I trust that you are where you need to be and that you’re surrounded by those you care about.
The year has turned and the daylight will now grow in this hemisphere until the summer solstice next June.
The darkness is in retreat a few minutes each day and that gives me hope.
For those of you who are religious then I trust that you will find succour at this time of year.
I hope that you have enjoyed the content here over the past 12 months.
At all times you, the reader, are my priority.
Have a great Christmas.

Seasons greetings to yourself Phil and to real journalists everywhere. Peace and goodwill to all men – except of course the sevco board and their SMSM yes men. May THEY all be visited by every plague and pestilence imaginable!
Hello Phil
Have a happy and healthy christmas
As we aim to wrap 2017 up over the next week, it is worth looking back on what was a very special year for our football club, 50th anniversary of the Lisbon Lions, a magnificent invincible football team on the park that broke lots of records
On the charity front, the club remains true to its roots and never fails to amaze me with their kindness and generosity
2017 on a personal note, was a very special year and wish to take this opportunity to thank yourself for your continued support in promoting our charity projects through your site, facebook, twitter etc
2017 will go down as being one of those very special years and we appreciated your encouragement and support to myself and our 30 cyclists on our “The Road To Lisbon” journey of a lifetime
Thanks again for everything
Hail Hail

Keep up the great work my friend for with your input we are all getting the right information about SEVCO and there chairman owner King. Hail Hail
Merry Christmas to you comrade. And thank you for the consistant manner of your reporting. No moon landings, no narcism fuelled ego trips. Just the facts that our dear media refuse to report through fear or blindness.
I hope you and your loved ones have a peaceful Christmas and New Year full of contentment.
Merry Xmas Phil, may you and your family have a merry one, hope to hear from you in the new year
Merry Christmas to you and yours Phil, as well as to all your readers.

Why can’t you write St Stephen’s day.I accept your beliefs but please accept mine
You may want to apologise. Everyone in Ireland calls Boxing Day, Stephens Day
also when Good King W, last looked out, it was on the Feast of Stephen. No mention of any Saint, but we all know who we are refering to.
Nothing to do with a lack of respect for faith. HH
A Merry and Peaceful Christmas to you and yours Phil. Excellent blog. Hail! Hail!
Have a great festivity Phil and a few jars of the black stuff …from sunny Clydebank ??
Many Thanks Phil for all your work! First thing I look for when I switch on! Mind you I’ll believe in The Rangers demise when I go into the supermarket built on Ibrox! Have a peaceful happy Christmas!
merry xmas phil ;))) see you at the other end
Stainless Steel Rat… love that post , bhoy be lucky , awra best . John

MERRY XMAS ALL
A very Merry Christmas to all. God bless us, everyone!
Have a mighty Christmas.?
Your a good man Phil .
Thankyou for all your endeavours.
Happy Christmas
The £11m decision against King was so insignificant and no biggie, King has to appeal it. Lol.
Except, there’s no legal grounds for appeal. No appeal has gone forward.
The Bannatyne ruling is watertight and has no flaws for appeal.
Jabba is irrelevant bye bye Jabba.
Merry Christmas Phil, thanks for all the great work over the last year.
Hope you and your kin have a peaceful and joyful Christmas.
Oh and thanks for introducing me to Godwin’s Law!!
I wont make that mistake again.
God bless
Yeah, that was what Hitler said when he invaded Russia!
Merry Xmas, Gerry 🙂
All the very best to you and yours Phil and to the readers and contributors who keep this site going. Thank you for some great entertainment and insights in 2017 (which isn’t over quite yet!).
Happy christmas to you phil and all your kin. Love reading your work.
God bless you and family Phil. HH.
Happy Christmas ma chara

Look forward to seeing what transpires down Ibrokes way in the next few weeks.

Haha….. no name to it……. gahaha ………desperation over Christmas…….
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/rangers-chairman-dave-king-appeal-11745535
No name would dare attach itself …. only “press association”…….. Jabba in telephonic conference insisting some pish needs released….. lol…… there’s no mechanism of appeal and none has taken place….keep paying Jabba for this.
TRFC need to dump level 5.
No legal grounds for appeal have been established.
Indeed his appeal to lord Bannatynne had no grounds. Bannatyne rubbished his impoverished claim And called him a clever player. Bannatyne rubbished under Law his control or non control of NOAL As neither here nor there.
This is pre Christmas pish. You’re fucked King. Totally fucked.
He did not appeal to Bannatyne at the Court of Session, the TOP sued him for compliance with their ruling. Bannatyne delivered the compliance order.
I think this is an attempt at staving off private litigation claims from Somers, Llambias and Leach and others.
But it will catch him up in the end.
Truth is not a small matter. It’s one of the two most precious things given to us. And yet those who bear it are so often fated to be the projection screens for the unacknowledged emotions of others – suspicion at best, and outright hostility, if the truth-telling is persisted in.
Nevertheless, its transmission is one of the highest and most honourable of callings, in whatever degree the task is given to us to carry out.
God bless, Phil, and have a great Christmas. The days are already stretching themselves to greet the Spring.
I like how they wait for you to announce your hiatus to release the lying king’s plan to ‘contest’ the CoS ruling!
Thank you Phil & Merry Christmas to all your family
You make our lives better
Merry Christmas Phil, keep up the good work. Missing Gaoth Dobhair this festive period but there in spirit.
Merry Christmas to ivrubdy.
Cheers Phil
Don’t believe in the aul god fellah and Donegal can be a bit of a hole sometimes… but looking forward to the new year none the less.
Onwards and upwards!
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness shall never overcome it.
Come on the Celts and happy Christmas.
Sir Alex Ferguson wrote of their anti catholic bigotry in his first book.
Things have not changed.
I fear they cannot learn and find humility.
Their embrace of DCK has been a chilling welcome to the graveyard
They will not endure.
Those honest and decent will join normal society and leave them to diminish in historical bigoted insignificance.
Normal Scottish Society leaves them behind. Businessmen who go there are untouchable.
Merry Christmas to all in here.
Love your work Phil, aw the best for Xmas and the new year .
God Bless you and yours Phil, And god bless Glasgow Celtic.
There was only ever one God for me; he wore the number seven. Thank you Phil for the industry you have expended over the last year in bringing light and clarity to a most murky place. Thank you too, for all the intelligent and insightful non-football offerings. Best wishes to you and yours, from me and mine!
Yes, I know exactly the number 7 you mean – Don Majkowski, the “Majik Man”, a true legend in Green Bay and a wonderful quarterback. A god to me too.
You’re on the wrong page, Cheesy.
Merry Christmas phil, best wishes to you and all your loved ones over the festive period.
HH
Merry Christmas to you and your Brood, you have shone so much light this year when there was only smoke and mirror’s, i would love for next year to be a quieter one for you, and for that to happen, then it’s administration and liquidation for sevco…Here’s to a happy and very quite 2018… HH
