Sad Sevco have issued an angry club statement following Peter Lawwell’s Rory Bremner joke at Celtic’s AGM.
Despite the numerous problems facing the Third Division champions who are facing their first ever AGM next month a nameless club statement named Lawwell and threatened to take up the issue with the footballing authorities.
The source of the anger was a comment by the Celtic chief that: “Rory Bremner can impersonate Tony Blair,” in reply to a supporter asking about a liquidated club apparently coming back to life.
Tonight’s nameless Sevco statement said: “The Club are disappointed with the comments attributed to Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell earlier today.
“Rangers Football Club, now in its 141st year, has a proud history which has been recognised by the football authorities and was noted in a recent SPL Commission determination.
“The Club will now take this matter up with the relevant football authorities.”
Without the steadying hand of a Chief Executive Sevco have taken to issuing club statements on an almost daily basis with the Daily Record on the receiving end of an another angry statement earlier today.
That statement read: “Re Daily Record (Friday, 15 November 2013) – “Powerless – Gardiner says no to Gers top job as Ibrox board refuse to let him run club his way”
For the avoidance of doubt the club would like to clarify the following:-
- Mr Gardiner never made demands about having the power to hire and fire directors. Any journalist with a modicum of business understanding would know that would be a preposterous demand.
- Mr Gardiner made no comments whatsoever about the “Rangers PR machine.” Indeed he had many constructive and friendly face to face meetings and phone calls with our PR adviser.
- We are satisfied that Mr Gardiner’s views are not reflected in The Record which raises the question – did he actually speak to the paper?
The Rangers board continue to be dismayed at the standards of journalism from The Daily Record and can only assume that the paper is riddled from top to bottom with an anti-Rangers bias.”
Rather than simply state that Scot Gardiner had walked away from the offer of being Chief Executive of Sevco the Record attempted to cushion that news with claims to justify Gardiner’s decision.
I don’t think they’ll complain too loud or for too long- just in case “the authorities” actually give them an honest answer for once.
We all know that the sevco directors and honest Ally only say these things for the benefit of the numpties that still buy their season tickets. As long as the numpties believe it’s the same team, sevco will have money coming in. But, if they stop believing,…
This new club is only started and it is NOT in it’s 141 blah blah years… HAIL HAIL THE CELTIC and hail hail to the Republic of Ireland manager MARTIN O’NEILL.
spot on, joe.
sevco are nameless( irony ) humourless,clueless and director less.
proud history ? they mean old club : what’s proud about having a sectarian ethos,despicable anti- catholic fans,manchester,proud creditors done out of money,social taxes unpaid,sandaza used as a scapegoat.all this in the name of a proud club ??
surely their having a laugh with this ‘proud’ thing.
but maybe not,as they don’t do humour!!
DELUDED or what ?
Hope they do complain cos the SFA might just grow a pair and tell them the truth.
This is the SFA’s moment of truth!
You would think after all this time that the people at Sevco 5088 and their intelligent fans (are their any out there) would have developed a sense of humour by now after what they have been through in the last few years.
The Law man was only saying this tongue in cheek. Or was he simply stating a fact?
Lets face it Bhoys and Ghirls we know the facts, its just that the zombies refuse to believe that they are a new club, with a proud new history, League Champions Div 3, skint and ready to die.
I cant wait till this happens again, Keep the laughter coming.
In Craig Whyte we trust.
It’s no fair neethur it isnae. They’re makin a pure fool ae us so they ur. Wee arra peepul so we ur. 140 years of dignity blah blah blah. Wee arra same club so we ur.
Nurse!
Maybe something the support who keep on demanding a statement from PL & The Board should reflect on.
Nothing on Earth would please the hun more than Celtic FC making a negative comment about their BS.
DDs comment? PMSL!

Sevconians truly are sad fannies.
Why would you call it a joke? Lawwell is 100% correct. The present team who call themselves rangers are one year old, like it or not. They can try to convince themselves otherwise until the cows cone home, but one year old is fact.

To be fair the brain has not started functioning after just one year, the memory is at best faint and they say it takes at least 7 years to develop a moral conscience. Thankfully that will not be a requirement for The Rangers.

The truth obviously hurts the poor wee Sevonians but they are a weird bunch for sure!
Well done PL, that one comment will serve as the smoke and mirrors that the spivs needed to deflect the peepil from the final cut (the old ‘kicking us when we’re down’) as they vacate the big hoos before the agm is cancelled. Jack the lad Irvine couldn’t have bought a comment like that, its all Peters fault and Celtics and the SFA and the Daily Records and the BBC and the etc etc… I like it Peter, i see what you did there, and did anyone ask at the AGM if you can get some of them bath time rubber ducks into the superstore for Christmas, the same colour as Sevco 5088 Ltd. were selling. Hail Hail
Be fair Bhoys rainjurz fc IL ARE 141yrs old, BDO and HMRC are still busy within that carcass.
‘The’ rainjurz are only a season and a half old and will be a cadaver on the slab at HMRC before to long.
If the huns want to claim the debt of the first corpse I’m sure debtors big and small will be glad to hear it, as HMRC slide one lifeless caver onto the one slab beside the rotting carcass of the other for disection.

The Mayor of Amsterdam is reflecting on the events in the City.
He recognises the Ajax hooligans going round rattling on the windows of café s around the Amsterdam and attacking peaceful Celtic supporters with baseball bats. He’s also quoted as saying there were alot of Easters European Club supporters in the city, known to the police.
I’ve been told his direct quote was that he would do everything ‘to clear Celtics good name’.
HH
A master stroke.Big peter.More hot air coming out of that former football club than needed to fill a Zeplin. Lets see where their balls are. Court action or inaction..
A barking dog never bites.
Now sort the living wage issue out Celtic plc.for our employees
I’m not one for calling the huns sevco and all that business. I think it’s kind of childish, but for Rangers to be up in arms about a joke makes them look pathetic. Sad bastards.
‘The rangers’, shoorly?

Sevco official letter of complaint to the SFA reads as follows:
Mr Ogilvie, Mr Ogilvie it’s no fair those bad bhoys at Celtic won’t play pretend and kid on we’re still the same club, everybody else is dain it apart fae them and noo they ur laughing at us, gonnae tell them whaa whaa whaa!
F*cking pathetic! Why don’t you go away turn on peppa pig, have a wowipop and stop your incessant whining you greeting faced bunch of crybabies. Better still go ahead and make your complaint to the SFA and watch how Celtic Football Club obliterate this ridiculous fairytale that you are still the same club using factual evidence based on company laws and practices because that would be worth any punishment thrown our way for Lawell’s comments.
Really starting to get fed up with this sham, since they bit the dust Scottish football and Scottish journalism has inhabited a world of pretend and make believe just so R*ngers fans don’t have to accept the reality that the club they once supported no longer exists, it’s time they were all dragged back into the real world, kicking and screaming if necessary.
And as for all those journos who continue to retell this tall tale on Sevco’s behalf why don’t you go back and have a look at YOUR OWN newspaper headlines and media reports from June 13th 2012 where YOU proclaimed that R*ngers F.C. had officially died thus bringing to an end 140 years of history. YOUR words not ours.
I would love the SFA to ask PL to fully explain his comments so he could be absolutely clear what he really meant. He could then ask them if he was correct or not.
Somehow I don’t expect them to do so.
What a great laugh they continue to give us.
