  1. When complete dumplings like Peat begin to criticise you it's definitely time to go. Peat was directly responsible for Lennons touchline ban being overturned.
  2. The fact that nobody in a position of power asked a single question when the planned tour of Japan failed to materialise tells us all we need to know about the charlatans running our game.
  3. I'll wait until further down the thread after somebody has translated it all into English. Stuff like this baffles me I'm afraid.
  4. You haven't seen the state of my wife mate.
  5. I was at the match before finding out the team and having a mobile that only does calls, couldn't change.
  6. He'll do what he usually does for sportsmans dinners and fail to turn up. He's done that at 3 I attended.
  7. Rangers 4 Peterhead 0 FGS Miller.
  8. " “Off the pitch this season there is a lot less to do than there was last season, I think there is still some tidying up with some of the commercial issues, I think all of it has been dealt with in public. “I think the club is in far more control of the situation to where we were even three months ago so I am quite confident within a relatively short period of time we will also have the commercial picture fully under control. " I like the sounds of optimism there. http://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/chairman-speaks-off-field/?
  9. They relied on tv footage which cut off 10 minutes after the final whistle CB. They are scared of the muppets at Holyrood introducing more legislation that will lead to them actually having to work for their salaries. Had it been Rangers fans invading the park there would have been a full NATO conference deciding the punishment. It wasn't so the large brushes are looking for carpets to sweep the problem under.
  10. Look at it from the other side though Pete - Puma might sign up for 7 years, but would Fat Mike not also be looking to rake in as much as he could if Rangers were to go on to success ? I'd think a 7 year deal between a producer and a distributer would be an exception. My main thrust however is that Ashley didn't expect anyone at Ibrox to be in a position to repay the 5 million so had no need to tie any deal up with Puma for 7 years. He relied on having control of RR with his placemen there to do his bidding. Naturally, not having seen the contracts I could be completely wrong but as said, believe that King & Co are working on a plan. If they weren't, why not just give notice right now that we will pull out when the notice period is over ?
  11. I don't think even Ashley or his puppets would be so short-sighted as to sign a 7 year deal with Puma. He had no idea how successful Rangers would be or the outcome of that on shirt sales. I believe he was relying on the contract between Rangers and RR with no chance of anybody at Ibrox coming up with his 5 million. Rangers may be tied into a contract with RR for 7 years or whatever, but now that Rangers own the image rights I would imagine that Rangers must have a bigger say in what happens to those rights and how much they are worth. King could be giving them enough rope to hang themselves - they produce 10 thousand shirts which Rangers immediately ban as the image rights do not belong to RR or Puma. He's tied with what he can say because of his RR position but I have no doubt some sort of plan is currently at work. If there wasn't then why pay back the 5 million in the first place ? I also don't buy the tarred ones rubbish about Rangers then having to pay for those unsold shirts. Especially if the shirts are being produced and sold without the permission of the club.
  12. RR held the image rights until SD received their 5 million back. Rangers now hold those rights. Rangers are free to renegotiate any deal involving those rights. The above nods at any previous shady deals done beforehand, but not knowing the fine detail of the contract, I'm puting my own spin on things. King certainly keeps making the point that we own the rights again. My suspicion is that fat Ashley didn't care less about his 5 million as he never expected Chucky or his doubtful pals ever to pay it back and was only looking to tie things up while he had the image rights and the distribution deal sewn up.
  13. After spending a couple of days doing a lot of online searches and discussions with other bears, here's my take on what will happen next - when the strips go on sale, Rangers will sue Rangers Retail. Puma obviously have an airtight contract with RR. King wearing his Rangers hat and attending RR meetings will be saying that Rangers own the copyrights and Puma do not have the right to manufacture or distribute kits bearing any of Rangers image rights. Consequently RR are breaking the law and not Puma. SD hold the majority vote within RR and all King has to show is, wearing his RR hat, he was/against the deal with Puma.
  14. If you take a look at any of their sites where they actually talk about their own team instead of us Cal you'll find that the history of the cup semi final has already been re-written by them. The fact that we totally dominated possession has been whitewashed in favour of chances created, shots at goal, number of throw ins and other such nonsense. I'll agree though, they are there for the taking if we can get another couple of decent signings in.
  15. I hope it's not too long before Brown joins that other poisonous bastard Lennon in the lower leagues.
  16. Aberdeen will continue to beat themselves. The biggest challenge Scott ? How did that work out the past few seasons ? The sheep raise their game against ONE other club, and it ain't ra hoops.
  17. Yesterday I read a bear elsewhere trying to defend 20 previous convictions by saying they could be parking tickets, penalty points, litter offence tickets or similar. That's fine until you know that those aren't shown in court as previous convictions. The court is not told about offences like those.
  18. Cooney is a Rangers hater who was caught previously trying to goad Dave Scott from NBM to launch enquiries into songs the Rangers support sing. The usual bigoted terms of reference for us has always been allowed when Darren Bhoy is acting as online editorial chief.
  19. I'm happy with Findlay defending. If you can see past the fact that he is an exceptional orator and recognise that what actually comes out of his mouth is overinflated garbage, you'll find there are better QC's out there.
  20. I've got to disagree here Pete and think there is no "have to" about it. Somewhere in the terms and conditions there will be a rule stating you will lose your season ticket without recopense if you indulge in unsavoury conduct - not that I'm saying the bear in question did so though. The question does arise however, when did the club learn the identity of the fan ? Before or after he paid for his new ticket ?
  21. But now that the club have taken action I'd suspect that no matter what the fans reps say these guys will remain banned.
  22. I'd think it is. But suspect they won't.
  23. I've noticed a slight increase in the number of shots from around the box instead of our normal game of attempting to walk the ball into the net. It's just a pity it seems to be Harry Forrester trying most of them though as he's been piss poor at hitting the target.
  24. The son of ex St Mirren, Partick, St Johnstone, Morton and Q.P. player Tommy Turner mate.
  25. McKay was my MOTM. The boy just seems to get better week by week.
