I think it is fair to say that the highly laudable campaign Everyone Anyone has most of its work in front of it.
The featured image would suggest that the “anti-woke” faction of the Ibrox klanbase hasn’t yet done walking away.
After all, that is what the club itself has told them to do.
To my reading, that is Statement O’clock for “would you ever just feck off”.
Of course, the problem for the Sevco High Command is that when it comes to it, that is the hardcore of the Ibrox klanbase who will turn up, no matter what.
Then, there was this unedifying outburst at Dens Park.
At least some Ibrox chaps saw the issue.
When one specific type of ethno-religious hatred has been tactically authorised for generations, then don’t expect other variants to thrive.
The snarling British nativism that characterises much of the Ibrox klanbase is a difficult one for any regime in the Blue Room who want to promote a modern inclusive brand message.
Meanwhile, football finance expert David Low continues to follow follow the money, or rather, the abject lack of it down Edmiston Drive way.
Dear reader, if can be anything in this world be kind.
There was a special delivery here to the home place here in Dún na nGall at the weekend.
I knew it was good news as soon as I saw who the sender was.
Carefully selected, this is what his home area of Extremadura has to offer.
It’s a stunning part of the world.
I think of it as the Donegal of Spain.
Some context might be helpful at this juncture.
Over many years, I have developed a festive habit of sending food hampers to people I care about.
So, late last year, with the covert assistance of Paco’s sister, we conspired to ensure that a consignment of the best produce from my island found its way to his table at Christmas.
It was inevitable that he would respond in kind.
As we are all gallant allies in Europe, all he had to do was post the bounty to myself at the other end of the European Single Market, so no customs or hold-ups.
Viewers in Scotland have their own programme.
As this piece from 2012 will attest, Paco is a passionate Athletic Bilbao fan.
Every Saint Patrick’s Day, without fail, I get a video message from him, wearing his jacket green.
Moreover, his iconic club, unlike many in Fair Caledonia, has no problem celebrating what is effectively the national day of Irishness in the global village.
Hopefully, the good guys from Euskadi will soon deal with the Falangists of Ibrox.
Have a great week!
Alot quieter now too regarding the incoming takeover, Stenography Corps trying to suggest everything going along nicely in the background and no rush for any big announcement. Makes you wonder if there are issues arising , If there ever was a deal and it falls through then surely it would be project Austerity for them for the foreseeable?
Some readers may recall David Murray stating on-camera a number of years ago that “There is no room at Ibrox for the FTP brigade”: I think they filled in the corners shortly afterwards to provide more seats…..
If I could ask re Mr. Low’s analysis: I’m reading it as some deluded soul, peace be upon him/her, wanting to buy 100,000 shares and four sellers offering a total of about 75,000. Other commenters have interpreted this differently. Is my understanding correct?
I sense desperation in the plea to disassociate and I sense it was an attempt to put lipstick on a pig for the benefit of a potential takeover rather than a heartfelt plea to rid themselves of their base contributor. Some in the Directors box are every bit as bitter as their Copland Rd Hoi Poloi .
The break to interrupt fasting is new to me , is it on condition of competing for 60 minutes before they can do so as I noticed it was on the 57th min (with the 3 mins of injury time from the first half) ? Going without food or drink from sunrise to 18.30 is a disadvantage and a couple of minutes to accommodate it is the decent thing to do.
The unsold shares at the record low of 3.5p tells its own story but not one we’ll read about in our MSM
The right thing to do is not play these games during sunset but rather plan in advance to either play them earlier or after the period where a religious act has a requirement to take place.
For me this is Football yet again forcing things onto Supporters that really shouldn’t be anywhere near a sporting event.
No different in many ways to the Annual Poppy issues we see.
Someone else’s will being forced onto paying Supporters to appease the wishes of those who agree with it.
You could put it down to poor planning of course but something tells me this was very much planned and taken into account.
Could the game have started 15 minutes earlier than planned so they could break fast during half time?
Of course it could so that begs the question why didn’t it?
4 Sevco shareholders of 100,000 shares each, trying to offload at 3.5p & no takers…Contradicting the joke Scottish media’s takeover narrative, if a takeover was in play these shares would have been snapped up.This sounds like more people heading for HMS Sevco life rafts.
400k shares when there’s half a billion in existence is nothing. A rounding error. The supporters club is probably the only party interested in buying, but even they have probably seen the light by now and realize the pointlessness of acquiring them.
Irrespective of what percentage is on offer no one is taking these up at 3.5p so something is clearly not adding up at Ayebrokes Matt and you don’t need to be a mathematician to see it.
If I was contemplating buying a controlling interest in a company/business, with the knowledge that I’d have to offer to buy all 500plus million of them for the highest trading price in the last twelve months – 25p? – and found out that the shares couldn’t sell for 3.5p, you wouldn’t see me for dust!!
The latest attempts by the rangers hierarchy to appear to be all inclusive and non sectarian are hilarious.
Thousands were offended by the statement the other week telling them to disassociate themselves from the club.
If they were to take the advice literally the stadium would be half empty. The Anyone Everyone message has yet to get through to a large part of the support it would seem.
Sent a Celtic top to mate in Netherlands -£80 with his name on it. They Charged him 30 e customs to pick it up. Thanks a lot!!!!
