Mountain Bear 0 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 My glass is half-full tonight: 1. Scottish Football has publicly acknowledged tonight, through the imposition of sanctions, that we are the same Rangers that we have always been, history intact and unbroken. End of story. 2. This weekend we will take the first step on the footballing journey back to where we belong - the top of Scottish football. Bring it on! 3. For the disrepute charges, all we had in our defence were pleas of mitigation, our guilt was not in dispute. In any EBT investigation hard evidence will need to be presented. We did not knowingly cheat anyone and we obtained no more advantage from our actions than any of the many other clubs in Scotland that spent beyond their means. Above all, we are innocent until PROVEN guilty and i for one will not acknowledge the legitimacy of any judgement that is not evidence based, proportional to any wrongdoing and completely transparent. We will be watching you SPL and we will remember what you do next.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Exactly, so how can we be so sure the SPL wouldn't risk killing themselves to get at us? Personally, I'm not sure of anything regarding Scottish football any more. The fact that two Englishmen have been brought in to supposedly improve our game and have managed to make such a monumental dogs dinner of it, taking the game to the brink of complete meltdown in such a short space of time leaves me wondering what the hell's going on to put it politely. Then we've got the fans of the other 11 SPL clubs who were willing to damage their own clubs in order to hammer ours with unprecedented and unfair punishments. Then we've got the Chairmen and boards of those SPL clubs who were actually willing to listen to their clearly unhinged fans. Then we've got the SFA who were so inept and clearly not in control of Scottish football that they abdicated their responsibility to govern the game appropriately, but that shouldn't come as a surprise because Regan's new revolutionized SFA is all about delegation of responsibility and decision making. It's all about the sub-contracting of disciplinary matters, no matter how important. Makes sense really: If they pass the buck by delegating and sub-contracting the governance of the game it's easier for corruption to blossom and they won't have to take any blame for anything because everything is someone else's responsibility. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If they hammer us for the dual contracts bullshit our only route to appeal is via one of these SFA appellate tribunals, AKA kangaroo court. Is this confirmed Zappa, i thought we had the gained the right to legal counsel to counter their conclusion on the EBT investigations? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Moon 1,291 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 We must be entitled to defend ourselves! If Lennon can take a QC to defend his shocking conduct then surely we have rights too? If we don't then we need to start fighting this irrespective of their rules. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then hired Aiden O'Neil QC to defend their kangaroo court's decision in a real court and I got pelters for suggesting there was something dodgy about their choice of QC. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to let them know what they are up against. We are not going to be a soft touch any more. We should be bombarding the press, using other examples and showing this up for what it is. We should be ridiculing giving titles to anyone else. That's what our enemies have been doing, carrying out their propaganda in the press. Give it back to them by the bucket load. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
