    How do you square that paragraph with a recent previous post of yours where you stated that you don't trust the board ?

    - If forums simply adhered to their moderation policy then there would be no abuse there. If you get offended by X, put him on 'ignore'. - This is a difficult time in our history and there will be strong views out there. - If individuals on twitter 'abuse' then there is the option to block them. If they are the type to continually abuse, any mooted 'code of conduct' would be ignored by them anyway. - Beware the attempt to marginalise or push for (harsh) criticism being labeled as 'abuse' in any efforts towards regulation. Freedom of speech still exists in the UK although it is continually under attack and isn't what it used to be. One of the methods of attack is to stigmatize and make people (including politicans) scared of addressing certain issues or not towing a certain line. Whilst not directly related to our situation, it is through such mooted 'code of conducts' or the like that certain issues or areas of discussion can start on the road to be marginalised or better controlled. Quite apart from that and as others have intimated, this initiative will achieve little or nothing and may actually stimulate more talk of division at a time where the great majority of the support are broadly united wrt being unhappy with how the executive board go about there business. . ps. It's ironic that the main root of this issue takes you back to the executive board, or rather the then dictator SDM alongside Jack Irvine.

    They've forgotten the "source close to the board" and the 20,000 number. "Spin not Scout"

    Poor wording on my part, I was referring to the capacity (numbers) of the Louden.

    Zappa, retrospect isn't the issue here. What we had was a reporter of the publicly funded national radio station using an 'exclusive' (from Jack Irvine/RIFC) that stated the AGM vote as being a done deal and also using language that was an effort to disuade shareholders from voting/ there being any point in voting. Irvine/RIFC were attempting to take the heat out of the situation answell as the wind out of opposition sails. There is also the issue of corporate goverence regards the club via an agent allowing the release of such information prior to the AGM itself. Last week we had a half-hearted attempt to put out there that the ST renewals had reached 20,000. I believe the half-heartedness of it refects the accuracy.

    Did their 'wee black book' suddenly become a 'big black book' ?
  7. buster.
    Perhaps it's representative of what's to come. Trying to cling hold of a past because the future is bleak. You could also argue that when you put Spin before Scouting that articles on 'ex-favourites' are a logical consequence.

    I think if they want to get out of the group they will probably have to beat Italy in their first game. I fancy Uruguay to beat England and for Italy and Uruguay to be happy with a draw in the last game if it qualifies them both. However I'll probably be putting a tenner on the draw for Italy v England.

    Always have done. They don't only broadcast the brief given to them but do so with the slant asked for. Prior to the AGM, Lamont actually questioned the what use it was for the ordinary Rangers shareholder/supporter to go to the AGM to vote. McLaughlin was used and abused on the status of Naqvi/Rangers..........but he doesn't question anything and keeps going back for more.

    Perhaps the VB can be asked to give some detail on that meeting in the Louden later today. Or are such questions to be avoided so as to promote harmoney ?

    If you didn't cry, it would be funny. You are left questioning judgement/motives.

    What's your capacity, Greg ?...........FF has quite a few thousand active posters. Is it that forums review moderation guidelines or perhaps some simply enforce them. Or is it 'opinion' that isn't valid ? Do you seriously think that this will change anything other than take focus away from where it should be ? Within any large group there will be disagreements that will be expressed on occasion with abusive and/or industrial language, more especially at times of difficulty for the 'common denominator'. It isn't always nice but it's where we are. The truth is that at the present time, the support are becoming ever more unified in wanting to hold the board to account You see, all this will end up doing after some politespeak today is to encourage discourse about 'division' and help the current board avoid issues. ps. As by way of illustration, your post above only promotes division. Is 'marginalisation' on the agenda ?
  14. buster.
    It's almost promoting the idea of division when the focus should be elsewhere. I'd say there is general unity behind an unhappiness with now the board go about their business. The small group who broadly support the board with disproportionate voice will continue to do so, in the way they do so regardless of what happens tomorrow. They are free to their opinion. IMO in general our support have very little vision (with honourable exceptions) and too often go down the wrong road, time it badly and/or don't think things through. We like to point the finger of blame elsewhere but have a lot to answer for ourselves.

    They always said that the Vikings tended have one-sided business dealings.

    Fish and Dolphin eaters together point to an all-together different flavour of conspiracy.

    Whilst you refer to the Norwegies, didn't our pre-season games against the Highland League sides back then result in Rangers signing the Inverness striker, Billy Urquhart ?
  18. buster.
    I'd imagine many of the threads will be of similar content to current Rangers forums. He can also have a go at brown brogues (Elvis) if he so wishes.

    Everyone to their own but.........

    Thank's Willie !!

    The AGM provided the current board with executive control and a mandate from the majority of shareholders. As you alude to, there is something similar wanted from the support (or customers) when it comes to ST's. That something obviously involving the important matter of cashflow.

    Or Proxy Puppets ?

    Touch, a, barge poll, don't, with.

    IIRC back in those days we often went up to the Highlands for a couple of pre-season friendlies. How things have changed with that Inverness side of back then. Did we not go over to Norway a couple of times to play Viking Stavanger (sp) ?
  25. buster.
    Yes, the two issues do go hand in hand with the Nth.American tour being an example of this. Some other commercial contracts/discussions may reflect the more intangible 'brand' damage we have and are suffering.
