ian1964 10,625 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 RST Board Reaction to SFL Division 3 Vote The board of the Rangers Supportersâ?? Trust (RST) welcome the vote for Rangers to join the Scottish Football League (SFL) in Division 3. Mark Dingwall, spokesman for the RST said: "This is a welcome decision which takes on board the views of the Rangers support and we look forward to getting back out on the road to support our team next season." "The SFL has taken a clear decision and they have done so with a weeksâ?? notice which is in stark contrast to the months of dithering we have seen from the SPL. "The club now must be given the time and space to recover so Stuart Regan needs to end his personal vendetta against Rangers by removing the threat of further sanctions immediately. Rangers must now be allowed to plan for next season with certainty so the football authorities must now stick with today's decisive and clear view" The Scottish Football authorities, and Scottish football in general, need to stop focussing on the punishment of our club and allow us to build from the bottom tier of Scottish football with no further sanctions. Starting from the bottom tier for our would be a low moment in our 140 year history but our club will survive and prosper again if left alone and allowed to do so. The SPL2 proposals are a non-starter and are damning of the fallacy that â??sporting integrityâ? was the main driver behind the motivation to continually punish our club. The SPL voted Rangers out of their organisation and their attempt to blackmail the SFL clubs shows â??sporting integrityâ? only goes so far. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Moon 1,191 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 "The club now must be given the time and space to recover so Stuart Regan needs to end his personal vendetta against Rangers by removing the threat of further sanctions immediately. Rangers must now be allowed to plan for next season with certainty so the football authorities must now stick with today's decisive and clear view" I have been thinking about this. How likely do you think it is that we would be given support from the SFL clubs if the SFA decide to follow through with their previous plan of asking Rangers to accept unconditionally any punishment that is levied on them with no recourse to object or appeal as a condition of ratifying our SFL membership? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bluenose80 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 i can see a 12 month suspension coming our way Wouldn't achieve anything to suspend us as we would just go through the same thing again a year from now with them trying impose sanctions to get back in. SPL2 is a non starter, David Longmuir as much as confirmed this so the SFA have not got a leg to stand on. The SFL gave them a big GIRFUY and they are powerless to respond. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
