Bad news for all fans

It doesn't , just the same a swhen Portsmouth went into trouble , they were still required to pay any outstanding transfer fee's ,the EPL took part of their next portion of TV money to pay of clubs , mind you they were all English clubs that were paid first . The �£2million has already been paid , all we get is the alleged �£300,000 per appearance ,, if that is what it actually is.

RBR would like to point out that those depressing words on Jelavic's injury were those of Mr D leggatt ... , I cannot even begin to think we may have the same run of bad luck with injuries ever again

JELAVIC'S INJURY DO YOU remember when Kyle Lafferty cheated against Aberdeen to get Charlie Mulgrew sent off? And do you remember too, the number of times the incident was replayed on television? Can you also remember when Lafferty was sent off against Hibernian this season, and the amazing amount of airtime on television this incident was given ? Then, can you remember when Kevin Thomson was sent off against Hearts at Tynecastle last season, and the number of times his silly sideways lunge was repeated on the box? Now hit the fast forward button and let's return to Tynecastle and highlight the moment when a terrible tackle from behind - outlawed by FIFA - by Ian Black on Nikica Jelavic, injured the striker so badly he had to fly home for surgery and is not expected to play again for anything up to four months. But where have all the television replays been of the tackle from a match shown live on ESPN? That's a tricky one, for it has been hard to catch up with them, as on Monday and Tuesday night's Reporting Scotland - the licence fee funded national broadcaster - it appears we are in the midst of some old fashioned height of the Cold War Kremlin-style cover up. And as far as that modern phenomenon, which has fast become an old reliable, YouTube? Well, anyone trying to find the Black tackle which crippled Jelavic there will draw a blank, and be met with the message.... "The clip of the Black tackle on Jelavic has been removed from YouTube due to a copyright claim by the Scottish Premier League." That will be the same Scottish Premier League who have ensured Rangers must face five away matches on the weekends following their six Champions League ties. Does anyone detect a pattern here? Rangers player sins, his sin is missed by the referee, but caught on camera and his sin is shown over and over and over, again and again and again. Or, Rangers player sins, is caught by the referee and punished by him with a red card, and the sin, again caught on camera, is repeated on television over and over and over, again and again and again. As opposed to Rangers player is the victim of a bad tackle - one which many believe merited a red card ,but which was dealt with by a yellow - and is badly injured. And the result??? Blank screens! People are therefore robbed of their right as licence payers to see the clip again and again and again, over and over and over on BBC Scotland's Reporting Scotland at the peak tea time viewing hour, in order that they can form their own judgement. Rangers supporters though must be indebted to Keith Jackson of the Daily Record and Scott Burns of the Scottish Daily Express, for their interviews with Jelavic. It's taken Black long enough to issue a public apology claiming it was an accident, and that the Rangers man was too quick for him. But Jelavic, as quoted in the Record and Express, is having none of it. If the public were given the opportuinity by the BBC, the state funded broadcaster, to view the incident from all the angles - as was the case when Lafferty and Thomson sinned - then a judgement could be formed on whether Black was unlucky, and Jelavic even more unlucky. Or not! That would be justice. For Black, and for Jelavic. For, as I have often stated, for justice to be done, it must be seen to be done. One reporter, who has the inside track at Ibrox, says that senior Rangers sources are seething with anger. The speculation is one senior source is Walter Smith. He spent over �£4m of the meagre transfer budget afforded him by the club's Lloyds Bank paymasters on Jelavic, and the striker was showing every sign of forming an intelligent and lethal partnership with Kenny Miller. There was also - in a sort of perverse way - the bonus of the fact he is ineligble for Europe, meaning Rangers were hoping to look to Jelavic as an injection of fresh legs to the team for the next four away matches they have been ordered by the SPL to play immediately after Champions League ties. His loss in the Champions League - a tournament Rangers cannot possibly hope to win - was therefore balanced by the rest he would have ahead of SPL games, as the champions bid to retain their domestic crown. That benefit would have been seen next when the first Old Firm game of the season takes place at Parkhead a few days after Rangers must face the team settling Spain alight right now, Valencia. Now Jelavic - as a result of the injury he suffered following the tackle by Black, - will not only miss that match, but may still be sidelined when Celtic visit Ibrox on January 2. His injury may turn out to be a Marco Negri moment for Rangers. Whether that proves to be the case or not, in the interest of justice - for Black as well as Jelavice for it would give the Hearts man a chance to prove his claim of his lack of malice - the incident in which the Rangers man is the injured party should be given the same television prominence as those occasions when it has been the Rangers player who has been the sinner. Over and over and over, again and again and again. Pretty hard to disagree with any of that

double post or Frankie's doing , spooky

Or is it a case of , " they're not the messiah just very naughty " well you get the jist , welcome aboard PTB hope you enjoy this site , have you met Dharma master Frankie yet ,he's a cult leader dont you know:whistle:

absolutely brilliant

Oh I can see this growing arms and legs over the coming weeks and months

The demise of the defunct CIS cup would help for a start , however the flip side is that for some clubs the money they get fromit is essential , its a bit damned if we do damned if we dont scenario

oh naughty naughty , I was wondering when that was going to get mentioned ,if your found guilty is it the same as having to sit on the naughty step

The way we play any of our forwards will only be as good as the service provided , you cannot expect the same midfield to go to the well time after time , if we make any ore from C/L revenue bonuses it must be spent on another midfielder , did Hutton get on , I saw him on the sidelines but wasn't sure he actually got on ?

The only problem with that is Levein could , within his rights due to UEFA reg's , stop them playing in our next game . Some of the tackling today was brutal at best

Welcome carson1912 , welcome and enjoy yourself

Just out of interest but did I miss something ,we were only waiting International clearance , as anyone heard anything .....

Thank you , that was all I wanted to know .

But the party line is that he was told to wait , 5 , 10 minutes , till the end depending on who is replying. Some heard it said others didn't , very strange

Not every one does , but more than one would be preferable , and how do you know she is qualified if you have never met her ...Surely you can see my point . Yet again we , the RST members , are let down by bad decision making at the highest level , and when it get's brought up , it's a case of move along nothing to see here , we know what were doing . If anyone on here is ever in the position of hiring or co-opting someone into a position of responsibility , for any organisation which has to answer to a membership , please come on and tell me I am wrong and that they would be quite happy to do this on one person's say so , without ever having met said person , if that is the case I will stick to the football and leave you all to it .

That is far too obvious for those with their own agenda's , if you in any critiscize the RST your labelled anti trust , I wouldn't mind if they had a long list of success's to back it up .....

Ok might point might be rubbish, it might have been a bit naughty , it might have been lots of things , but the basic point has still not been answered , why was a position as powerful as treasurer given out without an Interview by any other board members or even having the chance to meet her , just a wee thought and surely worthy of an answer , or are we just meant to accept everything on trust . This whole debacle has been caused by everyone working on trust , without proper procedures put in and with correct records of account being reported , yet here we go again , another position handed out without a bye your leave . As for Deedle , this is a guy who sends Pm's slaughtering ex RST board members when it suits , his views hold no credance with me

The last time I heard pish like that was labour defending the Iraqi Invasion , and the dodgy dossier

Ok so who are you then

I have argued this very point with many , why anyone would want to be part of the EPL is beyond me , yes there is �£40-�£50 million per year but the wages that the majority of ordinary players recieve is obscene and would lead us down a path we really dont want to go down

The day I take lessons from Deedle is the day I stop coming on any site , the next time he post some original thought will be the first , guys like that were the reason I stopped wasting my time on �£�£

Sorry to get in the way of a private barny , but why was my original point in your words " rubbish , . We have a guy accused of financial misconduct , getting a friend onto position as RST treasurer without any board member either getting to interview her or even meet her , but you seem to think that's perfectly normal practice and ok , well you carry on mate .
