RANGERRAB

Total waste of money if he does stay next season. He's well past his best now.

Is it only Rangers that have to go through the FAPP test?

In theory NO but as I said it does open up a whole can of worms IMO.

For example does every current director at each Scottish football club meet the FAPP requirements?

And was it not ludicrous that Paul Murray had to go thro' this process when he'd absolutely nothing to do with what happened to Rangers under Whyte?

The problem the SFA would have in rejecting DK as not FAPP is that it would open up a whole can of worms as to others past & present who'd fail this supposed-test.

Dermot Desmond for one. Just google his links with the former Irish prime minister CHarles Haughey & you'll see what I mean

Does everyone realise fenia!n is neither a race or religion?

Indeed many of them were protestant. They were irish rebels seeking home rule in the nineteenth century.

It is only the Rangers-hating media in this country who have made it sectarian for their own purposes.

Findlay resigned, or was forced to resign, because the use of the F word was never acceptable and was always sectarian - unlike the word Hun which has only become so recently. Nothing retrospective here.

The 'F Word' as you call it is neither a religion nor a race.

It is deemed sectarian is by Rangers-haters who think nothing of using similar words & phrases against Rangers & its supporters & expect no retribution in the SNP Scotland

The principle presumably being that you can be punished retrospectively if the law changes?

Remember Donald Findlay having to resign as Rangers chairman?

Perhaps he shouldnt have resigned then because of your 'retrospective' logic then?

no because, for the 100th time, what he said was not an offense when he said it. Others have dodged the question, so I'll try my luck with you. Should you be criminalised for drink driving because you have driven with an alcohol blood level higher than that which was intoduced a couple of months ago?

 

If not, why should O'Hara be punished for his comments which, while stupid, were legal?

He should have been removed on a point of principle. That is why.

Had a candidate(of any party) referred to f@nians I can just imagine the furore

What you've posted is of no relevance to this case.

Perhaps not but dont you think it is hyper-critical of the SNP to endorse a candidate guilty of an earlier offence which they later sought to criminalise ?

The party is being linked with anti-Rangers sentiments by a section of the Rangers support; by nobody else. I doubt whether these stories will cost any votes, since people stupid enough to vote politically based on their footballing allegience wouldn't have been voting SNP anyway.

 

What is certainly true is that the wider SNP membership, indeed wider Scottish society, of all clubs and none, are becoming increasingly put off by the behaviour of those moronic Rangers fans who align themselves with British nationalism, Unionism and in some cases Fascist causes, drape themselves in union flags, behave like thugs and drag the name of the club through the mud with their obnoxious behaviour.

But of course it's OK to support Scottish nationalism, separatism, and in some cases militant Irish republicanism, drape themselves in Saltires & behave like thugs

BREAKING: Sports Direct confirm their offices were visited by police as part of ongoing investigation into ownership of Rangers #SSNHQ

ownership? Ashley doesn't even own 10% of RIFC

You think the Record have the ability to dictate and orchestrate the timing of a Police raid?

 

This inquiry has been going on for years and there have been lots of raids/swoops and there will be lots more yet.

Maybe at LBG? Dont forget they accepted Whyte's £18m as part of his takeover which we now know was fraudulently obtained.

Why were they so keen to force this takeover(without it would appear doing any sort of due diligence ad to where this money came from) and in whose interests would it have been?

Not sure about this Ashley stuff though.What evidence is there to suggest he has been acting improperly?

I think the play offs are a good thing and should be kept.

I think certain people in the SPFL are genuinely beginning to panic at the prospect of no Rangers in the top division next season....

There will be sponsor next season whether we're promoted or not.

if there is it will be worth peanuts like the TV deal Liewell & Dumbcaster signed in 2012.

The TV companies however are a different matter altogether

I think it has been apparent for some time though we need a proper unionist party to replace Labour, Tories & the Lid dems who are all now totally ineffective against the SNP

Thanks for your help, Bilel. Happy retirement Jig. Viso gero, Marius.

Now, do McGregor and Gasparotto have enough skill an experience to do the job?

Maybe they do but more importantly wherever we are next season we simply must get strikers who can get 20 or more goals per season. That is just as important.

Can only offer Moshni best wishes.

Perhaps a better manager will get the best out of him. Unfortunately we werent able to offer him that

Not getting a game with us but gets signed by a bundesliga club.

Something not quite right with this is there?

League construction decided!??!

 

Maybe they cant risk Rangers not going up so they will bring in a 16 team league after all with no relegation, Rangers Hibs and QotS being promoted with Hearts.

I'd guess it's more likely to be three leagues of fourteen with a split halfway through. Keeps to 38 games & everyone plays each other equally H & A

You mean...don't go DOWN!!!

No I mean potential sponsors & TV companies are getting twitchy. Very twitchy maybe in some cases

...so says spfl official site

All we need to do now, is stay there.

I have it on good authority that the SPFL are absolutely bricking it if we don't go up................

Bizarre reasoning.

 

Fair enough if it didn't make much of a difference but I'd have though some preparation would be better than none.

Some tactics this time are imperative. QOS play 3-5-2 but I'm sure McCall is aware of that & we won't get outnumbered in MF and caught on the break this time around

You don't do irony do you? The only bigotry and racism on show has been from the English MSM and the unionist parties (Greens excepted). How any Scot can read and listen to the anti-Scottish bile that is coming out of London and still vote for any of these public school muppets is beyond me. But then, masochism and self-loathing isn't my thing.

 

And, by the way, the SNP has been in power in Scotland for the past 8 years, the result of which is the most popular government in history and an election in a couple of days in which the unionist parties look like they'll be wiped out and an actual majority of Scots may vote for them, so don't worry too much about the people up here; we're doing fine, thanks.

LOL. They've been running a toytown parliament for the past eight years full of self-important ex-councillors.

The big decisions such as the the economy still lie with Westminster. The SNP would get found out big style had they got independence. The currency issue at the referendum being the classic example.

Neither Hardie nor Gallagher will get selected ahead of Kenny Miller & Nicky Clark under McCall. Depressing but true.

Gallagher perhaps more so than Hardie should have got a chance given the lack of goals our strikers have scored this season plus he had a decent loan spell in the first half of the season.

If found guilty, Sporting Integrity demands the yahoos hand back this money with interest & the SPFL set up a commision chaired by LNS to determine whether they gained any sporting advantage from this and whether the payments made to the yahoos could be considered undeclared side payments.

So many decisions we make just defy logic. Pretty much every single person in that ground could have told McCall that putting on McCulloch was a recipe for disaster. I specifically said that in the match thread when the sub was made.

McCall shys away from big decisions. McCulloch is the most obvious one
