All for show. (btw, is that the same UEFA they told to "F" off earlier this season) That shows just how sincere o'rourke and his horde are.

Has anyone read this from "Sporting Intelligence"? Very informative with many precedents. http://www.sportingintelligence.com/2012/03/25/revealed-the-39-6m-in-unpaid-football-taxes-and-thats-only-part-of-it-250301/

You'd think so but, the Scottish Executive wants to sweep this kind of talk away with threats of dismissal etc. Something like fascists without guns more or less.

The words from the Scottish Executive and O'Rourke sound very similar don't you think? http://news.stv.tv/scotland/west-central/259837-msp-criticised-over-schools-sectarianism-comment/

See me, I love karma. It never, never fails and always brings the chickens home to roost. While O'Rourke is "genuinely sorry" over his "Incitement to violence" statement, here's what he said only a few weeks earlier. http://www.thecsa.co.uk/showthread.php?t=534 What a slimy, lying, bastard he is!

I think he tries too hard to "sex" up the facts.

At least Benny new what he was doing !!

I'm sure they'll have plenty of opportunity in the next few years.

Wowsers ! I've always regarded us as being the "good" to their "evil". While I think we should take them on in their dirty tricks agenda, fire with fire etc., I still believe one of our strengths is in remaining well mannered and dignified, like Ally did the other week after playing them, by shaking their players' hands.

I personally think our players should clap them on to the park...no more and no less. Dignity, dignity, dignity.

Fingers crossed!

Is Auchinleck ready for European Football? That is the question..

This person has to do the decent thing and resign from the SFA. Clubs are failing financially and there has been absolutely nothing put in place to reverse this sad state of affairs. At this rate, the SFA will only be governing over a few Clubs as others are forced to make cutback after cutback. How much longer until Irvine Meadow, Talbot, etc. become the major teams? Lack of cash, decent players, sponsorship and interest in the SFA's "product" will lead to the best supported Clubs having no option but to play elsewhere. http://www.scotsman.com/news/stewart-regan-forget-the-past-and-i-can-cure-your-game-s-ills-1-819139 He has been in post for almost 2 years now and has not only failed to do what he promised to do, he has managed to make things worse. The SFA MUST get someone in place who, first of all, has experience of running a football club, has an appreciation of Scottish Culture, and, sound financial expertise. Regan has none of these and look at his achievements so far....zero !

It appears Regan is "off the hook" due to his lame actions...and accusations during and after the meeting. Is this the last we are going to hear about this or is there more to come ? Regan is way, way out of his depth in his position...even due to the fact that he's lawell's pal/fall guy. Notwithstanding his "performance" at the meeting, his overall competence is way below the level required to be in the position he's occupies. He even struggled working with a provincial cricket club ffs. yet here he is "running" our game at a time when our standing in world football has reached an all time low!! Hardly the time to have a non football person forging a new path for our National game !!

Alex Thomson's report just about to start.

As I said "confrontational" You say "clique" I say "those with a broad agreement and similar understanding" I respect what you are saying and also the points you make but I've been part of this Board, or "clique" if that's what you come on and choose to call it, for some years now and can assure you there is no "clique". I agree and disagree with other members but I respect what they have to say. if I don't like it I'll say so without accusing them of some kind of subterfuge or hidden agenda. I simply don't like your attitude and the air of righteous arrogance that you're right and anyone who disagrees is either wrong or simply against the new guy.

I agree with you GA. Casey, can you please explain where your coming from, generally, not specifically. IMO many of your posts so far, have flown in the face of many stalwarts of this Board. Are you doing this to be controversial, confrontational, or do you simply think you alone have all the answers ?

The man's a serial offender and it's always the same thing. Ever since he came to Scottish football, he's been at the centre of controversy after controversy both as player and manager. He's caused deep unrest EVERYWHERE he goes which often leads to crowd trouble. He is a cancer in Scottish football where the actual game is secondary. Poor Killie; their first big win in many years was overshadowed by him AGAIN and his tiresome referee rants. Everyone from every team must be sick of the site of him.......kick him out now, our game is suffering as no-one wants to go him or his clone followers.

I'm sure there are more than a few who would love a "civil war" in this country. A brief look at the failed social worker's site would confirm the hatred he's been trying to stir up within Scotland's communities. Lennon is the ideal "flagpole" on which this evil can be flown.

How many times does leggat call Brian Kennedy a "Hibernian supporter" ? Disappointed with him on this occasion with this piece of fiction. Those "TRUE BLUE KNIGHTS" could have stepped up years ago. Instead, they were the ones who looked on waiting to get the Club on the cheap only to be gazumped by Whyte. They've already had their chance and fucked it up. They stood by and let the past few weeks' humiliation happen and let Whyte take all the flak. Now leggat lauds them yet all they have to offer is a deal not too dis-similar to Whyte's. Even wanting ticketus on board ffs....like Whyte !!

I would say the players' spirits would be higher now than they were a few weeks ago. We are now approaching the "end game2 regarding ownership and imo things are looking positive. The players outlook must also be more relaxed. I'm sure a couple of weeks ago the players were unsure where there futures lay whereas now they can concentrate fully on the next game without fretting over mortgage payments etc. So, fuck you hartson, you fucking thicko !

I agree with him..Ally should not try and motivate our players like any other team does when they step up to play the bheasts. Aberdeen are a fine example of this when they line up to play us in an ordinary league match, whereas we play them tomorrow in an extremely important game which could lift our support and give us all confidence for the hurdles before us. I would assume Ally will post this cutting on the dressing room door. Nothing should motivate us more than a tim criticising OUR CLUB ! Thanks for that john.

The sfa are so determined to punish us, they fail to see the "big picture". SKY tv cash coming in to Scottish football is only the most obvious. In my opinion they now only have 2 options. They keep pushing. Every day there's a new issue which in itself, would have been branded scandalous. ie. Lawell's association and history with Regan who was headhunted by a company run by Dermot Desmond's son,cfc openly bigoted management, cfc's refusal to tackle their fans' open sectarianism and never taken to task etc. etc. etc. Only this week we've had their manager ranting about officials (again) and the sfa keeping it's head down on the matter (remember Aluko's treatment when he "dived", and that was only a League game, not a showpiece final).Now we find the people investigating our Club just happen to be the one where Lawell and cfc go to for any legal matters. The other option is that the sfa back right off ! Now, if this was to happen, it's my guess that the timmy hordes would not only demand they resign, but physically threaten them as that's their style. So, everyone, where does that leave Rangers Football Club.? Scottish football is on it's knees and has stumbled on for the past few years as money slowly disappears. While this is happening, the sfa do their best to persecute it's most successful and best supported Clubs to the brink of extinction. Meanwhile, down south, the organisation running it's game can't do enough to help one of it's Clubs to beat closure like the sfa used to do in the past. It could be argued that the present sfa is in place to bring about the demise of Scottish football in order that while some Clubs will still exist, they'll have no League to play in. Just a thought ! THIS SFA UNDER REGAN IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.

What is the hold up with hmrc ? Something like this perhaps ? Surely not ! http://hmrcisshite.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/joint-statement-on-p35-fines.html

I see it as rather curious though. With different lawyers working together, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that client confidentiality could easily be breached. eg. cfc colluding with spl over a common "problem"....us !
