RANGERRAB

It's a mess but don't worry GCC (surprise surprise) are bailing them out to get it ready for the Commonwealth Games as well as investing in the surrounding area.

I heard it's HSE not GCC

I've heard one or two murmurs all not well with their stadium. Anyone heard anything about that? safety issues and the like

I agree that's their aim, but I think their hatred for us may just be their downfall this time, the mask has slipped.

 

There's an interesting thread On FF from a Rangers fan who was sitting in front of two of Septics employees on a plane journey and they would mirror your views about there plans for dominance, but it would seem they really want us back in the top flight soon as because they need our money things are getting very tight over at Saville park, with every penny being counted.

What do you mean things getting tight over saville park ?? heard something ??

If he goes then Vincent Lunny must be removed too.

And Liewell & the Professional Game Board must also go. What did it actually achieve ?

Seems to me we won't get away with it but others will. Not acceptable but this is the country we now live in.

When will people realise Thomson is the useful idiot of Liewell & Phil 3 names. He is/was supposed to add impartiality to their vendetta against us but we all now see for what he is - a plonker !!!! as delboy would say.

Would be nice to have the Rangers museum somewhere in the town like near Glasgow Central Station for everyone who visits Glasgow to see.

 

I'm sure it would easily become a very popular tourist attraction, but perhaps GCC would be fully against that sadly.

don't give a damm about GCC.(OUR ENEMY)

if there is to be a Rangers Museum then I believe it should be in Ibrox stadium just like Man Utd's is in Old Trafford. Why would it be in city centre FFS?

Going to Ibrox to re-enact the Battle of the Boyne am I? This muppet is our Phil 3 names. Stick it up your arse mate.

do you want rangers supporters prosecuted while they get off scot free for similar offences? that's not acceptable to me

Fuck Celtic and fuck their songs.

they get away with it. We don't. I can't accept that

During the meeting with these senior police officers( whom I refuse to refer to as FoCUS) did anyone bother to ask why they or their colleagues turn a blind eye to the goings-on at Celtic Park ( the banners & terrorsist songs) and their away games too ?

seems to me there's inconsistencies here needing addressed

An excellent article as usual by Bill McMurdo.

Very true we have allowed ourselves to be demonised. We now live in a country where we cannot sing certain songs at our matches but our chums from the east end can sing all sorts of songs in praise of terrorists not to mention displaying certain banners. What sort of legisalation allows that ? Do our police forces think this is just ? or do they now have allegiances we should be told about ?

In this country I see big, big trouble in the not too distant future unless these inconsistencies are addressed.

As I said on this forum last night the SPL need the Rangers pound. When the SPL clubs wouldn't stand up to Liewell, Petrie & Thompson and voted us out the SPL they effectively prevented a quick return for us to the SPL as things currently stand. That will come back to haunt them because Doncaster is lying when he says they've kept all their financial backers. Clydesdale bank are offski at the end of this season for a start. What about the SKY contract which they won't discuss the fine details of ? is it true it's for one season only with the remainder dependent on viewing figures? (viewing figures at an all time low BTW).

As a result of their lacK of leadership (as Ally put it a couple of months ago)the SFA have a problem now in that they have created a SFL v SPL powerbattle in scottish football. The figures don't stack up well for the SPL (12) against the SFL (30).Not to mention that a handful of SPL clubs about to desert and join the SFL acc. to the excellent daily Bill McMURDO BLOG

Where this leads we shall see but the scottish football authorities ( except the SFL) have continuously sought confrontation with us over these past months. We must see this battle thro' til the bitter end. We will win in the end. We must persevere with CG at the helm and seek to eliminate & destroy the Regans, Doncasters,Lunnys & Liewells from their positions of power within scottish football.

CG must do all he can to get last season's prize money even it means going to a court of law. We'll see what Doncaster says then ?

Also if they've coped why's Regan talking about league reconstruction then ?

We need better tactics, better organisation and some sort of a gameplan from our management/coaching staff. These have been sadly lacking in addition to a few surprising team selections e.g. Hutton's omission last saturday.Also players often being played out of position not helpful either

The SPL have a problem. They need the Rangers pound (as Bill McMurdo would say). Their problem is that when the SPL clubs wouldn't stand up to LIEWELL & Petrie and voted us out the SPL there was no quick return for us as things currently stand. Now the SPL is staring into a black financial hole with much reduced revenues and a bleak future. Sponsors are either going altogether or like SKY will undoubtedly want to pay much less next season.

CG knows this. The SFL know this and they now have a strong bargaining position.The SFL clubs have no real desire for Regan's reconstruction with Rangers now in their ranks.

The SPL still owe us last season's prize money which CG may well need to take legal action to get (although they probably haven't got the money).

Not to mention their EBT investigation which may also end up in a court of law. As I said on another blog on here last night if we take the SPL/SFA to court over these then UEFA/FIFA may well suspend scottish club sides & national side. How sad would that be.(NOT)

Yes I would most certainly agree we may well be the club who finishes the SPL but the football authorities have picked a fight with us which we must see thru' to the bitter end

According to Bill McMurdo's blog (either today or yesterday) the SFA are trying to build bridges with Rangers. Exact opposite of what Leggo saying here.

Remember, do the SFA & SPL not owe Rangers about £3million between them ? CG will no doubt want to recover that money(money which I doubt the SFA & SPL have) by whatever means even in a court of law which would have dire consequences for Scottish football would it not? could UEFA not suspend the SFA and scottish club sides and the national side get banned from European competetions as a result of Rangers pursuing the SFA/SPL in court action ?

JUST A THOUGHT........

Did te ref not issue a yellow card? If he did then Lunny can't do anything.

I wasn't at the game on saturday but if the referee saw that 'tackle' and issued a yellow card then he should be demoted and must never referee in senior football again. Ian Black is fortunate not to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

after that horrendous so-called tackle on Black last saturday what's Lunny doing about it? was quick enough last season going after Rangers players was he not ? or is it only Rangers players who get suspensions

I wasn't at the game on saturday thankfully but today I saw the a clip of the assault on IanBlack & by my reckoning that's the third time in SFL3 this season a player should have had a straight red card for a supposed tackle on Ian Black. When will our manager come out publicly and say the referee & his assistants got it wrong ? if the referee missed it did one of his assistants not see this was a straight red? or did they not want to say so ? if not why?

players will become disillusioned without the support of their manager in these instances. Wise up Ally. Just about every manager in the country would have been slaughtering the referee if it happened to their team in these three incidents

I've never bought record/sunday mail ever since the day we went 2 celtic park (and won 1-0) to effectively clinch 9IAR. McNee's column had a headline 'smith must go' -

Totally lacks tactical awareness IMO

Regards the OP, he'll probably get to the end of season regardless. Then a big decision needs to be taken if he is to take us forward as performances simply aren't good enough I'm afraid

If CG thinks an orange strip will sell in great numbers then one will be brought out. Makes commercial sense whether anyone likes it or not.

Green is jabbing and punching while Regan and Doncaster are dodging and weaving. Hopefully soon a knock-out blow will land.

PS What happened to the SFA statement?

as Bill McMurdo said in a recent blog the SFA & SPL have met their match in CG

Is it not the case that HMRC are only interested if payments made to these EBT's were contractual, therefore taxable ? Payments are supposed to be discretionary i.e. would mean no contract. I fail to see how 'side letters' could be considered contracts.

If HMRC fail in their case due to 'side letters' not being considered as contracts where would that leave the SPL investigation ? surely they wouldn't pursue this any further.

It's often overlooked that EBT's were used by thousands of UK companies throughout the 2000's and were perfectly legal if used correctly
