  1. Never Mind - the curse is working, Airdrie have played in only three first division playoff finals... 2008 Airdrie lost to Clyde in the final, and were promoted to Division 1 because Gretna went bust. 2009 Airdrie lost to Ayr Utd in the final and retained their Division 1 position because Livingston were relegated to Division 3 due to financial irregularity 2012 Airdrie lost to Dumbarton in the final, complete this pattern
  2. The Ibrox Video Library are more likely to have the following titles (all in the section "educational material for potential owners") Boiler Room Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Eight Men Out The Emperor's New Clothes Fargo The Flim-Flam Man The Freshman The Grifters Matchstick Men The Scam (Afera) Shattered Glass (could be out on loan to wee Chick) The Sting
  3. Anyone fancy a sweep to guess which page of this thread will be current when the Liquidation Announcement is made, by my calculations I am going to go for page 1317
  4. Would be interesting to hear Chopin's Marche funèbre played on flute or accordian!!
  5. With middle Eastern Money coming from the estate of the late Osama Bin Laden (Who's name interestingly is an anagram of Die Banal Mason)
  6. Christ - hope they don't turn up at Broomfield in that Garb, you know our reputation
  7. I remember being down in the North of England on Holiday a couple of years ago and Rangers were playing a Champions League Qualifying match. English edition of the Sun had the result buried down in a tiny section with other diddy team results and did not bother with a match report, the OF mean nothing to the Ingerlanders
  8. I have said this before in another thread - I may not be up to them how they vote, every club in the SPL relies on their Bank Manager to keep them afloat, and if the Banks do not want a precedent set that would allow clubs to fold, shed their debts and set up as a NewCo, they will tell the club chairmen to vote against re-election, or else next year the clus could find themselves with no overdraft, loan arrangement etc etc. That happened with the vote to re-elect Airdrieonians and it could very well happen with Rangers
  9. One thing that was made perfectly clear by the Administrators when Airdrionians was liquidated (10 years ago to this day) was that handling a Football Club was totally different from administrating a commercial or manufacturing concern. Many of the processes that apply there cannot be used for a football club, mainly due to the rules and regulations applied by the league and/or association. For example it would be perfectly acceptable and commonplace for an engineering company in administration to be taken over by a rival company anywhere in the country or indeed the world, obviously that cannot be the case with a football club.
