You must be deaf or don’t go to games. When STB is played it comes from that corner every time, I sit in main stand that end. Always wondered why club don’t do something about it.

It started as usual in the UB area, as does ftp & Ira at our home games when the teams are coming out.

Media Guidance for Supporters Dear Member, We have now updated our media guidance to include the complaints process for the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO). This can be accessed through the link below. A number of members have been in contact with Club 1872 asking for assistance in challenging the prevailing Scottish media narrative on the club, players and supporters. This has been accentuated recently following skewed and at times blatantly dishonest BBC Scotland coverage of our games on Sportscene and Sportsound. Club 1872 frequently lodges complaints over skewed media reporting and has done so again in relation to recent coverage. However, the more that individual supporters take the time to highlight bias, inconsistency or inaccuracy, the more likely it is that change can be brought about. With that in mind we have written some guidance for supporters who do wish to take practical action over this issue. The guidance linked below details steps that supporters can take to raise issues with both BBC Scotland and commercial media organisations and the commercial press. These approaches differ in process and likely effect but they will all be effective over time if enough supporters are willing to engage in the process and show the patience required. The detail is meant as a reference for supporters, the relevant part of which can be used whenever necessary. It is broken down by organisation, or organisation type where the process is the same.

Fans vote with their feet over ticket prices as Rangers v Kilmarnock replay far from a sell-out Punters are unhappy at being charged £27 for a seat after forking out the same amount for the first tie at Rugby Park By David Fowler 19th February 2019, 1:22 pm RANGERS’ Scottish Cup replay against Kilmarnock is far from a sell-out as fans vote with their feet over steep ticket prices. Thousands of briefs are still available to purchase in all four stands, despite the game not being televised. KEITH CAMPBELL - THE SUN GLASGOW Thousands of Rangers fans will stay away from tomorrow night’s game Rangers’ online ticket service shows the number of seats still available Angry Gers supporters last week blasted the club’s decision to charge £27 for the Ibrox clash after paying the same price for the first tie at Rugby Park. And it seems thousands of home fans are set to stay away from Wednesday night’s game, which kicks off at 7:45pm.

Why would the Easdales sell at 20p to King rather than sell on open market?

https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/17437343.rangers-chairman-dave-king-wins-fight-to-avoid-8m-club-share-purchase-just/ RANGERS chairman Dave King has won a long battle to avoid paying out millions on a court-ordered shares offer. It has been confirmed that the mandatory offer, which could have cost him as much as £19m, just failed to get enough acceptances from shareholders to become valid. It means that those who accepted the 20p-a-share offer including former football board chairman Sandy Easdale and his family will keep their shares. Valid acceptances were received for 19m shares, or 13.07% of the club which would give Mr King's group 47.12%, 3% short of the 50% threshold to make the takeover offer successful. Shareholders had until a deadline of 1pm on Friday to make the offer - and the result of the bid was declared at 7.40pm. READ MORE: 'Damages may not be adequate remedy' if Ally McCoist and others renege on 'no sale' Rangers shares deal Mr King was obliged to make the bid by the Takeover Panel financial regulator, which ruled he, and the Three Bears group of investors had acted "in concert" to acquire more than 30% of the Ibrox club's shares when they took over the club from a group said to be allied to Sports Direct founder Mike Ashley in 2015. The offer was finally made last month after a protracted legal battle with Mr King trying to stave off pressure to buy the shares fearing the heavy financial toll it would place on him. Under Takeover Code rules Mr King and the Three Bears, made up of Hong Kong-based investment banker George Taylor, Park's Motor Group founder Douglas Park and wealthy fan George Letham, should have made a written offer to buy the shares of other shareholders at the time of the takeover having overtaken a 30% threshold. Mr King's takeover group, which currently holds a 34% stake, would have had to control over 50% of the club at the end of the court-ordered offer, for it to have been valid. A statement said: "In light of the acceptances referred to... the acceptance condition has not been satisfied. Accordingly, the offer was not capable of being declared unconditional as to acceptances at 1.00 p.m. on 25 February 2019 and therefore the offer lapsed with immediate effect." The Herald understands that the result of the bid will not result in any further action from the Takeover Panel, which was satisfied that the shares offer was eventually carried out according to the Code, including the appointment of a cash confirmer, the London-based investment bank and stockbroker, Finncap. Offer documents show that 11 shareholders including Ally McCoist and fans group Club 1872 who hold 38% of the club shares had already made undertakings not to take up the offer. It meant investors holding over 57% of the remaining shares would have had to have accepted Mr King's money for it to succeed. If Mr King's bid had been successful, while being costly, it would have given his group a tighter grip or Rangers - holding over 50% of the voting rights. The cost to Mr King, through his South Africa-based Laird Investments (Proprietary) Limited firm, of the offer was slashed to a maximum of £8m as a result of those who had already declared they will not take up the offer. It is understood that major shareholder Blue Pitch Holdings, which holds 4m shares, had joined the Easdales in intimating an intention to sell. Mr King was ordered to make an offer for the remainder of the shares in Rangers International Football Club Ltd by the Takeover Panel financial watchdog after it ruled the South Africa-based businessman had acted “in concert” the Three Bears investors group when they took control of the club. The 63-year-old businessman, had previously stated that delays with fulfilling the court order were the result of needing government approval to transfer the funds from South Africa to the UK.

The King-led takeover group had always denied that they had acted 'in concert' to purchase shares in Rangers on December 31 2014 and January 2, 2015. 61 comments

That’s as poor as it could get.

Club 1872 seeks answers from SFA over disciplinary process Dear Member Club 1872 has today written to the SFA seeking explanation for the incomprehensible decision making of their compliance officer, Clare Whyte and the judicial panels convened by them to oversee disciplinary matters in Scottish football. Supporters of all clubs have been left confused and concerned by the process of citing players for events that it is claimed have been missed by referees, despite clear video evidence to the contrary. There are also major anomalies within the appeals process for red card offences and a complete lack of transparency and consistency in decisions reached. The following questions have been directed to the SFA and we hope that they will properly address this situation before the continued actions of their compliance officer and judicial panels make a mockery of this season’s competitions. 1) How are judicial panels selected prior to appeals being heard? We understand there is a pool of around forty people to choose from but who decides which three of these forty sit on any given panel? Why is this process not transparent and why is there no explanation from the SFA on the role of the compliance officer in these selections? If the selection is not random and transparent, at least to the clubs involved in any given hearing, then why is that the case? 2) With recent decisions, the compliance officer appears to be ignoring the FIFA directive which states that citing cannot be used to correct bad refereeing. We now see instances where referees have awarded yellow cards but then appear to be encouraged to claim they have not seen incidents to allow retrospective action. When do referees submit their reports to the SFA following matches and precisely what steps are being taken to ensure that referees are not subject to any outside influence prior to submitting these reports? 3) The process of citing players after games, and the appeals process for action taken by referees on the park appears to be heavily influenced by certain media platforms and the prominence they give, or do not give, to certain incidents. Incidents have included blatant acts of diving and violent conduct which, when not highlighted by the media, have also been ignored by the compliance officer. Is trial by media an accepted part of the SFA disciplinary process and if so, what safeguards are in place to stop clubs, on whom undue focus is placed, from being unfairly penalised?

Not sufficient evidence to take it further. BREAKING:The Scottish FA will take no further action against Kilmarnock’s Alan Power for his challenge on Ryan Jack due to an insufficiency of evidence.

Limited availability if anyone is thinking about buying.

Excellent tweet from club.

No et, replay.

Ffs even Sutton says Kilmarnock should be down to 9 men.

Jack kicked in face, guy only booked. Broadfoot already booked and takes Defoe out off the ball.

Replying to @BBCSportsound Seriously? Stop fitba! Let’s just gets tv pundits and adjudicators on the park! More of spectacle than the game itself!?! This is hardly a reprehensible incident! Man up! Whistle blower generation

· Feb 6 Carlos Pena left with no pay out, contract wasn’t paid up & it hasn’t cost the club a single penny. In fact in many ways a year & a half contract was saved Mutual termination an extremely polite way of putting it Lots of lessons to be learned & a mistake we should never repeat

From SSN Twitter account · 19h BREAKING: After Rangers 4-2 win at Pittodrie, Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes went into the Rangers changing room and told the Rangers players to keep the noise down. They were singing and playing loud music. Steven Gerrard then spoke to McInnes in the tunnel
