After the "review" they will pontificate along the following lines: "The Board have considered this matter at length and have decided that Rangers knowingly embarked on a reckless course of heinous and dastardly conduct with deplorable adverse consequences for innocent people worldwide. We have taken the finest legal advice and are confident that we could visit Rangers and all connected to the club, past and present, with the most severe penalties including the recovery of all trophies won by them since inception of that club plus the deduction of fifty points in every future league competition and the imposition of a three goal deficit in every cup-tie. However, on this occasion we won't for reasons of sporting integrity the details of which for legal reasons, we can't disclose." "Finest legal advice" = "nae chance, bud".

Is there not a poll on FF showing 80% in favour of Naismith's return?

Dear Sir If the tax arrangements we've made don't work out, don't worry we'll fix it and you won't be out of pocket. Yours comfortably

But can they defend or do they just ponce about on the touchline like pretendy wingers?

BH, on this occasion I think fs was being light hearted. It certainly amused me. You two are among the best posters on this board. Can't you just get on? For the avoidance of doubt, the first sentence of the previous paragraph is an expression of opinion. The second sentence is light hearted/advisory/non-mandatory. No reader should be upset by it.

That looks like somebody playing blind man's bluff and another bloke, sme kind of percussionist, playing a big red triangle.

... managed to beat Elgin City 0-1 last night, Lafferty in the sixtieth minute. Walker, subbed after seventy five minutes, "scored" but was offside. City had only thirteen players and lost 6-0 at Dunfermline on Saturday. Puts things in perspective a bit.

The first I read was Geordie Young's, then Billy Wright's. Interesting enough but nothing notable. Len Shackleton's was different. No respect for the FA or for club directors. He had a chapter entitled "A Director's Knowledge of Football". It was a blank page. Good stuff. I suspect Merson and Parlour will be similar. Tom Finney's book should be a text book for young professionals.

Sir John Ure Primrose.

That's Runners-Up FC, though, isn't it? The whining arrogance of the under-dogs. Throw them something to quieten them down. How about Official Scottish Far East Soccer Ambassadors?

Smokin', Uilleam, just smokin'.

Interesting article. "His favourite-ever player? “Pat Stanton, without a shadow of a doubt. Majestic. Others too, Jimmy O’Rourke and John Brownlie. (Alex) Cropley. Colin Stein. It was a treat seeing Colin play. He signed from Armadale Thistle" Fair play to the man, he's a good judge of a player.

I don't think we "joined as one". The 45 still have their claymores in the thatch. Bit less than 45 now, though, I suspect with a lot of fishermen and farmers having come to their senses and droves of children jumping on to the Corbyn Happy Train. The question is, will there be seats for all on that train or will passengers have to pretend they couldn't get one?

"The finest solicitor in the land" - who's that. Not in Arbroath, obviously. But what's wrong with Arbroath? Am I missing something? Is there a bloke in Arbroath advising the tannadice Bedouin?

That's the best statement ever from a football grouping. The Club has obviously got somebody with a bit of nous who understands economy of language. Compare that with the Traynoresque nonsense after the exhuberant CF.

Real, 0-6 away, 0-1 at home. 0-7 aggregate. 'Spurs 2-5 away, 2-3 at home. 4-8 aggregate.

To put Berwick into perspective, it was a game Rangers dominated missing umpteen chances. Could ha e been 1-6. How many chances did Rangers create over two games against Progres? Until now Chesterfield was the worst result. I discount a freak cup final result as an utter fluke as proven by results over the subsequent several seasons

I don't normally watch foreign language programmes but I'll make an exception for this.

It is a massive mistake to use crimes of child abuse as a counterweight in a football dispute which, I think, is part of the sub-text in the statement which is otherwise pretty good. The fighting fund money has been expended. Time for a defence fund.

Do you think he might have come on and scored? The guy's a deskie. His absence doesn't matter.

One in the eye for Pathetic FC, not that the shameless will ever say anything different.

Sanchez wanting £400,000 a week. Who's going to pay that?

What a pompous statement from Runners-Up FC. Laughable really.

Greetin' Weans FC may or may not come to grief over the cover-up but any campaign should not be led by Rangers.

"Rangers have lost their tax case" Jackie Bird says so.
