Blue Moon

I would give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. We all make mistakes and I think this was spur of the moment and he probably regrets it.

Where is CG, why is Ally McCoist doing the negotiating and what is CG's endgame? Does he want Rangers to fail to get into the league so he can sell up?

Could it not be in Carloway's case that his professional integrity is impinged? Maybe someone could shed light on this. Would his position be compromised if the SFA insisted on the registration ban that has already been declared unlawful in a court of law? I agree with Gunslinger on Craig Graham that there is now a conflict of interest there. Although at the time of the decision there was really little prospect of us going to Div 3. It looks like we are going back to the appelate tribunal. It amazes me that all clubs were allowed to vote in the first place as it could quite easily be argued that there is a conflict of interest with every single one of them. It is outrageous that it went to a public vote. Britain's got talent?

I hope one of them is Lord Glennie

You may be right. I think the SFL vote to put us to division 3 was more an SPL and Regan/Doncaster backlash and a touch of self interest. Even at that, 5 clubs voted to put us in SFL1. I do not think they would take kindly to further interference from Doncaster or Regan and I think if push came to shove they would back us. These guys jackets are on a very shaky nail.

Just listened to it. Common sense needs to prevail here. Gunslinger would like the last wee bit.

Superb. Makes me feel better reading that. Hopefully some sympathetic journos (although there aren't many of them I know) and some other club chairmen will back us on this one.

If it is a 2 year deal he may come back to us.

He'd be as well spending his money now. He won't be needing it where he is going. Actually, not if it is our money

I do not think the rest of the teams would stand for that.

For me the most important thing is the right to challenge. If CG gives up this right I will be really disillusioned.

I would like to be magnanimous and offer some sympathy, but given the rhetoric from him and his fans, I can't. Get stuffed.

I've reread an earlier letter and I get it now. My mind is not as sharp as it used to be. Forgive me, I am having difficulty keeping up.

Look at it this way. I have been going to Ibrox since 1967. Bought my first season ticket in 1978 when I started working and gave it up 3 years ago because I was bored with the rubbish that was the SPL and with the negative play on the park. I can certainly not be accused of being a glory hunter or a traitor. I will be buying a season ticket next year, as close to the guy that I sold mine to as I can get. It works both ways. People do what they think is right.

I will wait and see what the terms are. In principle I do not think we should have accepted it but always thought Green would and if he has managed to wheedle a compromise out of them so much the better. Is it a season or year long ban?

Can't get in, lifetime ban for being reasonable! What does it say?

18 months? I did listen to this but obviously not carefully enough. I did hear him saying CW was involved before the official takeover but didn't hear that about D&P.

So, is it DM then?

Dreadful for them all. The worst thing that could ever happen to anyone.

Okay, but GDS has been talking recently about CW defrauding the company, so I don't get that he is behind it.

You've lost me now CG and FS.

The hypocrisy of Lennon beggars belief. Having been involved in a tax evasion scheme of his own any decent person would be keeping a low profile. Why has this been kept out of the media and why do none of them challenge his hypocricy?

It has gone very quiet. It has gone quiet on here. Mr Green has gone very quiet. Nothing on the club's website. Nothing from Ally. Nothing from the SPL, SFL or SFA. We are desperate for information. How to interpret this? What is the stumbling block? Is it fit and proper person stuff? Is it sanctions? Is CG putting up a fight? Is it better to hold these discussions in private? Well, yes, after the last public hanging I think so, but then that depends on the outcome. Driving me daft.

Will this commission be any more independent than the appelate tribunal?

It will be interesting to see what he says tomorrow.
