The growing influence and maturity of new media was highlighted yesterday as the action from the Court of Session from Edinburgh was transmitted to thousands online.
If Charles Green is successful in his claim for Sevco to honour his termination agreement and cover his legal costs then the club could be instantly put into administration.
Finding £1m plus when the season ticket money has run dry would be impossible with the Two Bears (Douglas Park has walked away) unwilling to put in any more cash while chairman Dave King refuses to match his ‘co-investors’.
Against that background it was good to find out that live tweeting would be allowed from the Court of Session although reporting of some areas was restricted.
James Doleman has built up a strong following on line with his live coverage of events and equally impressive ability to analyse and explain complex details to the ordinary internet bampot.
Among the lively service that he produced from the Court of Session was this well received tweet: “The team are paid by Sevco, play at a ground owned by Sevco, are trained by a manager who is employed by Sevco and fans buy tickets from Sevco.”
Following that up Doleman produced a report for the Bella Caldenia website that also covered Dave King’s deflection rant.
Doleman’s coverage was excellent throughout the day and free from the excitement and obvious bias of other publications going down a predictable route.
To stay ahead of the pack and enjoy commentary that is accurate and factual the only place to be is alongside those pesky bampots who are now making the news as well as breaking it.

Bampots. Internet bampots is where the truth is coming from. The Scottish media seems to be corrupted. How can your news sources call themselves ‘news’? I am watching this from another country and the blatant bias in your media is incredible. It does not take a blood hound to smell a pile of shit a mile high.
It amazes me that other media outlets have not taken this story up. This is bigger than the Russian doping scandal. Corruption in the highest levels of the sport for over a decade and every single main stream media in your country is downplaying this and asking for people to move on for either ‘the good of the sport’ or ‘else’.
Title stripping is the least that should be done, it is a consequence not a punishment.
A fitting punishment for cheating the country’s taxpayer out of millions to field players would be to look at personal criminal punishments. Campbell Ogilvie would be the first as he knew exactly what was going on the whole time. As did ‘Sir’ David Murray. Any and all incarnations of ‘Rangers’ would be banished from the sport for blatant corruption and contempt of the league in which it ‘played’. All media outlets should be investigated for signs of kickbacks (EBT’s) and if in receipt be banned from attending and or writing about any football in the country.
Then and only then will they understand the depths in which they have plumbed. All else will be window dressing until they will do it again.
Good luck in sorting this out, you have a hard road ahead it seems.
Think Chuckles will be chuckling today, as we where told by all the Scottish press, HE’S A BUINESS MAN.

Several sources are now blogging that CO, the Conflicted one, had a say in King’s F&P hearing……
whit……..?
How many times were we told that CO had removed himself from all deliberations Rangers on the off chance that he might be a wee bit, £96 k, Conflicted.
What’s that…oh his Rangers shares, no problem there, signed them over to the wife!
Integrity my erchie.
Mash won’t get to court for his judicial enquiry into the SFA’ s F&P King decision.
This will be Farrygate all over again.
SFA legal bods will fold their hand before Ashley goes all in.
One of my favourite lines from a blog was the guy who said. ……’Paranoid, we weren’t paranoid enough.!’
How very true, given what we now know, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
