Frankie 8,825 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Something cryptic I heard at the weekend was to do with the bar bill and Inverness - so Butcher I guess. His name hasn't been mentioned at all though.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 9,106 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I wonder of it will finally mention the bangers and mash being sung loud and proud by 'Scottish Internationalists' at the bar - and not just by the two that have been hung out to dry?

Frankie 8,825 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Heard that wasn't true Cammy. The Rangers players were singing the Sash but not Brown apparently. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 It'll be minor. The papers will resort to making mountains out of mole hills as the story begins to die when people begin to get bored with it all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CammyF 9,106 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) If he offers a full public apology and a full private apology to Walter Smith, SDM and Martin Bain, Barry Ferguson will be able to save his Rangers career. It appears that the ball in his in his court. Information gotten from another forum. Cammy F Edited April 8, 2009 by CammyF 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,825 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Another article: http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/display.var.2500625.0.0.php RANGERS are furious with the SFA over their handling of the Scotland Booze-gate affair. The Ibrox club are awaiting the findings of a top-level enquiry with great interest as SFA president George Peat, chief executive Gordon Smith and manager George Burley meet tomorrow at Hampden along with the international board to discuss what went on at Cameron House 10 days ago. Barry Ferguson and Allan McGregor have been told they will never represent their country again after taking part in a drinking session that lasted until noon - but none of the other four players involved have been brought to task. Rangers believe the situation was completely mishandled in the first instance, when the players stayed up late drinking in the hotel bar after their 4am return from Holland. advertisementHad George Burley dealt with things properly, it would not have sparked the chain of events which cost the two players their international careers and saw them disciplined by Rangers. A senior Ibrox source told SportTimes: "If it had been nipped in the bud right away on the Sunday, when things started to emerge, none of this would have happened. "What our players did in terms of the drinking and V-gestures was wrong and totally unacceptable. "No-one here is hiding from that. They embarrassed Rangers publicly. "But we appear to be the only club that had people there, despite the fact it is common knowledge there were six of them. "The SFA appear intent on sweeping it all under the carpet - apart from what they've done to the Rangers players - and that is just not right when it comes to dealing with discipline on an international trip when others were clearly there. "If that is the case, and nothing comes out of tomorrow, which we don't expect it to, then our players have been made scapegoats." It is fair to say the relationship between Ibrox and Hampden has now crashed to an all-time low over this affair. Rangers duo Kris Boyd and Lee McCulloch have already walked out on the Scotland set-up under Burley, and now Ferguson and McGregor have been sine-died. There was also serious unhappiness last Friday at the way the SFA handled their decision to axe the players, which appeared to show them piggy-backing on the action Rangers were taking. "If they had wanted to ban the players why did they say the matter was closed?" added the source. "As soon as it became clear what Rangers were doing last Friday, the SFA began to act. They then waited until Rangers had released a statement on the players' futures, before sending out their own minutes later." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 9,106 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 IF we get to the Scottish FA Cup Final, what a brilliant opportunity it would be for an organised Anti-SFA display from the Rangers support. In fact, if we won the Scottish FA Cup, I would support the Rangers team, captained by Barry Ferguson snubbing the SFA pre and post match - yes, that would mean NOT going up to LIFT the Cup. Just a celebration in front of the Rangers fans and leave the cup sitting on its podium. Cammy F 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
