Impulsive McCoist compiling portfolio of howlers
Ally McCoist’s claim to have as formidable a squad of players as any club in the country outside champions Celtic would do nothing to dispel the impression that his tongue these days is quicker than his wits.
The words had hardly left the Rangers manager’s lips when his side were beaten 3-1 at home in a closed-doors friendly by Hibernian, who could not reasonably be described as the galacticos of the SPFL’s Premiership.
The former striker’s readiness with the impulsive, unconsidered response may be rooted in his history as a media-friendly figure. He has, after all, been what is known these days as the go-to personality for the telling quote for as long as anyone (including himself) can remember. It is possible that McCoist has become so practised in the art of filling space that he cannot break the habit.
Even so, he has been steadily compiling what might be called a portfolio of outbursts, some of them grossly ill-advised and even dangerous. McCoist’s errant views began at Dunfermline two years ago when, without having seen the incident, he insisted that Steven Naismith could not be guilty of elbowing Austin McCann because “he’s not that type of lad”. Naismith, of course, was caught on camera and suspended.
There followed the infamous “we want to know who these people are” demand in the wake of the review panel who sat to consider Rangers’ rules breaches in the wake of their entering administration.
A similar noise was made over the question of Rangers being fined for their indiscretions while Hearts and Dunfermline were not. On both occasions, the SFA revealed that McCoist (and, in the latter case, his chief executive, Craig Mather) already knew the answers.
Perhaps most seriously of all, McCoist declared himself “appalled” by the arson attack on the bus depot which housed Rangers’ new luxury coach, clearly implying that it had been carried out by rival football fans. The subsequent police investigation disclosed that the crime was not related to football.
If these previous retorts are a measure of his judgment, there is unlikely to be a stampede of punters desperate to plunge on Rangers for the only “major” left to them, the Scottish Cup.

Hun pays tax bill
James Beattie took over as manager of Accrington Stanley and had an outstanding amount owing to the tax man.
Beattie paid it off.....
It may not be a world record, but it is certainly a world first. A Hun paying tax.

It's is sure evidence that God loves all his creatures.
At my work I have been dealing with a situation that is basically a microcosm of all this. The same tactics deployed in the same way. Amazing how much time and effort it takes to deal with.

There's a stupid Hun on rangers media thinks Mccoist should sue Gibbon for his comments today
Could it be that 'He' is up there all right but is a raving loony of a sadist and they are 'His' idea of a joke?
Ricky Burns v Raymundo Beltran - I know he's a Tim but was that a home-town decision last night?

There is a thread on the boxing board.
I know it's pointless posting on this thread but I just wondered if it was possible for a self-confessed Celtic supporter to be given a biased decision in his favour in Scotland?
It was a home town decision by the guy who gave it 115-112 to Burns. The rest Are not wildly off.
Yes Reb, I think that was the American judge, Carlos Ortiz Jr and it was way off in my view as well. Raymundo Beltran must be gutted and I doubt if he'll get a second crack. I believe Ricky Burns had a broken jaw but even so, unfortunately, I can't see him holding on to the title much longer, at this rate, as that's the second fight in which he looked beaten ... I think he was fortunate against Jose Gonzalez who, having won the first six of the previous rounds, couldn't continue after the ninth with a damaged wrist. He might do ok against Terence Crawford but I think, almost certainly, if he takes on Miguel Vasquez, he'll lose.
Far too late to look now,
Was a link too the hurling final. "Point scoring" geddit? I thought it was quite clever.
