  1. Me too - I hope to be proven wrong, but hung by their own petard of a report that said IN WRITING that suspension/ejection couldn't really be justified.

    The C of S decision is a real mystery to me when the SFA rules say you can come-up with a punishment proportionate to the crime instead of being tied - why dismiss that great idea?!

    Stewar Gilmour put it perfectly: "THE LAW IS AN ASS"!!

  2. "If there is a newco you have two ways of dealing with it. One is to have flexibility, the other is fixed sanctions.

    "The clubs have agreed they will impose sanctions depending on the circumstance. That is their view and one I respect as it is very sensible.

    "The SPL have set out 18 wide-ranging sanctions and it is up to the clubs to pick which ones to impose."

    source

    Thank you. I did miss it but! What are they?

  3. Gonna risk this:

    Doncaster on about the clubs taking the decision on sanctions on a newco.

    Flexibility of "appropriate sanctions" Am I being thick here?

    If the clubs can meet and hand out sanctions on an apt punishment for club X. What is to stop club X from going to court to say "there is nothing in the rules to permit these sanctions"?

    Surely they have a list in place to choose from?

    Or did I miss that bit?

  4. You lasted long into the night if i remember rightly...Thank God i chose not to drink as i would have been passed out on the floor by 8pm. I couldn't work the next day after Div spilled a can in the backseat...Not that he would remember. We really should have done it again

    3 of us did! Only me and (the now invisible) Knightswood Bear from the original day.

    eta: I did make my work next day!

  5. Never mind the burd with the big tits (can't believe I just typed that) but Seamus actually exists as a sentient being and.......you've met him? What the fucking f**k? I assumed he was just an uber troll created by some bat-shit mad Celtic fan like Sir Roger Casement.

    Yup. He exists and was one half of the night time comedy duo!

    ETA; The golf day/night.

  6. If nothing else, this should serve as a big wakey-wakey for all our chairmen who have been vowing to decide on Rangers based on "the best interests of the club".

    A whopping ban from UEFA and becoming pariahs in Europe isn't in anyone's interest. This is now a matter of self-defence - it's us, or them.

    Total lunacy from RFC. They're forcing the other clubs to choose between destroying them or taking a baseball-batting alongside them. No sane club official is going to side with them over this.

    Erm.....

    Kilmarnock chairman Michael Johnston on Tuesday night warned against hitting a newco Rangers with further tough sanctions.

  7. For those disappointed (or even pleased) that the programme was a little tame, or light on explicit detail, don't forget that the BBC lawyers are notoriously cautious. Nothing that could possibly prejudice any ongoing legal investigation would have been permitted on air. Nothing that could see the BBC paying $ in a libel case would have been broadcast. Usually in complex investigations such as the whole sordid RFC episode, journalists are drip-fed information from knowledgeable sources, stuff that ethics permit only to be used when there's 100% proof and no risk of legal shenanigans. Aficionados of 'All The Presidents Men' will see parallels here. Does the fourth estate have juicier stuff yet to officially see the light of day? I'd put my house on it.

    Also, don't forget that this was a primetime BBC documentary targeted at a broad swathe of audience, not anoraks (such as me) who spend far too long reading this thread. Made certain details far more prominent in the public consciousness, which can only be a good thing.

    (edited for typos)

    Agreed. Hoped for more tbh.

    Still. I'll just have to be patient, I suppose.

  8. The guys at rangers media seem to have this boycott thing sussed

    When all this is over (page 3000..... or whatever) I would like the brave soldiers, who gave of their time and wit, to come out on here with the "I was that soldier" on the infiltration of RM.

    There must be a right few who would deserve to be on that roll of honour!!

    Just a thought.

  9. Enough of this depressing speculation about punishments and investors: let's have a mini-game instead.

    My sources lead me to believe that Graham Spiers glided into the Waitrose on Byres Road on Wednesay evening for a spot of retail therapy. Your task - if you choose to accept it - is to guess the items on Biege Corduroy Man's shopping list. If it's any help, his mood on that evening was described as 'less than fluffy'. Green dot for the closest/best answer.

    Bloo Loo?
