RANGERRAB

And the hertz player was down with a head injury was he not?

Nothing maybe. He would have stopped play to send a player off.As Isaid it wasnt a goal scoring opportunity I'm not sure how this is interpreted in the rules.

I don't know for sure but I'd have thought so. By allowing play to continue WHAT IF McCulloch got back and cleared off his own goal-line to prevent hertz scoring? Or Rangers got possession from which McCulloch scored? That's why when a player is to get sent off I'd always thought play would get stopped immediately unless there was a clear goal-scoring opportunity, which wasnt the case yesterday.

As discussed on RM, why did the referee allow play to continue if he considered McCulloch's 'challenge' to be a straight red card? Should he not have stopped play immediately & sent him off if he considered it to be a straight red? Looking at those highlights it would appear the referee gets a clear view of the incident and wouldnt have needed any input from the AR or forth official?

An interesting OP but I've two brief comments about LeeMcCulloch:- 1) he is not good enough to play CB for Rangers 2) if he is currently earning £18k p.w. or thereabouts then that is a scandalous amount of money to be paying someone as things stand at Rangers. That money could be much better spent elsewhere at Rangers. Ditto his pal McCoist too

In terms of home attendances Newcastle must be the third most-watched side in the EPL(behind Man Utd & Arsenal). No wonder their supporters despair at their lack of success & ambition shown by their owners...

Playing in the top league in Holland suggests to me he's a better bet than signing out-of-contract SPL dross like McCoist did

Everyone up front is out of contract at rhe end of this season. Getting suitable replacements for them will be the biggest challenge for Stuart McCal(assuming he's still there)

Adam was/is a luxury player who needs 'workers' beside him to do the spadework he doesnt do.That's OK in a team not at the top level that Adam has played for such as St Midden, Blackpool or Stoke. At clubs such as Rangers & Liverpool that doesnt work.

Its only bigger if Rangers are in it

This is the calibre of player we should be looking at IMO

Gerry McCulloch maybe?

Shirdel never got into the first team at Hamburg did he?

As I understand we need theee years of audited accounts before we get back into European competition. Since the newco was set up we've had two sets of accounts so presumably by the end of next season we'll have had the third set and would be going for a Euro spot either via league position(providing we're in the top division) or via SC. Thats how I understand it but maybe either Bd or FS could clarify

Would the SFA apply the same set of rules to King that they applied to Whyte? Or did they sit back,do nothing and allow Whyte to cause the expected carnage to Rangers as it helped Liewell's club get a free run at the CL every year? I'm not King's greatest fan but it would be interesting to see if the SFA tried to prevent him joining the Rangers board. DD over in the East End has a very colourful past over in his native Ireland, especially in his dealings with disgraced former Irish PM's. Was that ever taken into account?

So when will DK be considered F&P by the SFA and be able to sit on the RIFC plc board?

This will be what makes or breaks the board which was elected at the start of last month. As a business Rangers are trading at a loss which is unsustainable longterm without funding from somewhere. If that funding is not to come from institutions or Ashley loans where will it come from? T3b ? King? Do these people have the funds we require? Can their self-appointed spokespersons vouch for this?

who will be investing then? do tell us

Not the point. Which shareholders is the statement referring to ?

Unless DK has the funding we really are in the brown stuff now................

I doubt very much if T3B have the funds The stage is very much Mr King's..................

Here's the bit which worries me from the club statement: it is the Board's view that the Company's future capital requirements can be met by shareholders

We were led to believe a NOMAD would get appointed. The old board managed to get a NOMAD

when we had SDM & MIH. Who have we got now?
