Halved a bottle of this with my dad earlier. Enjoyed it but not sure if I could manage a whole bottle. There's a lot of big flavours in this!

I'm not doubting that they'll get accounts signed off. But given the pathetic amount raised by RFF, they're going to need a lot more than just their fanbase buying into this float. It will take a lot to convince potential investors with no affinity to the club to part with their cash. And I'm not convinced they're capable of doing that.

PLUS and AIM entry requirements are less stringent than, say LSE. But Rangers would still fall far short of the requirements in terms of audited accounts, corporate governance and demonstrating they have adequate working capital. For instance, PLUS - the least stringent of the UK markerts - requires them to publish audited accounts prior to listing. Hard to see how they could produce anything credible given that they are only a couple of months old.

Ducksauce - Big Bad Wolf Identity (Sander van Doorn) and Mutant Radio (John Dahlback) are two I'm loving at the moment.

Heard Annie Mac play this... Surreal, but amazing!

Have a look at Size (Steve Angello's label), Refune (Seb Ingrosso) and Toolroom (Mark Knight). Lots of good electro/progressive house. If you have an account on Beatport you can subscribe to them and get updates whenever they bring out new stuff.

^^^ I had a similar one. Do these people not realise that the Taliban aren't just one specific country? I'm losing faith in humanity with some of these Olympic comments.

A shower of shite comments about the Olympics tonight. I've had 4 people saying something along the lines of, "didn't know insert obscure country even existed". I also have a girl that's convinced we'll make a profit out of the whole thing

Lost count of the amount of times this got played in Ibiza: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Acb8l6PE_T8

I'm not going to do anything until it's confirmed by the club. But if it was a yes, I could see myself not going back until those responsible are gone. I've not been getting along to games as often in the past couple of seasons and wouldn't find it as hard as others to give up. I feel for those of you who go a lot more regularly. The club have put you in a very awkward position.

That's a great tune! What Gatecrasher albums? I recently got my old nano out and it's got both the classics albums on it. Been listening to those a lot in the gym the past few weeks.

For now I'm just enjoying that fact that the correct decision was reached. I'm not worrying too much as plenty of clubs are yet to declare their decision.

Any word on how we voted yet?

Looking on the brightside, Sevco fans get their wish of playing in England next season.

My biggest fear is that we sell out due to the additional 2/4 SPL places which may be on offer. The SFL clubs are in the strong bargaining position here. Let's hope they all remember that. Edit: Also, is the extra £1m TV money really that much of an incentive? The main reason for this payment is having the rights to broadcast Sevco games. Surely that would mean they get the lions share of this cash.

Decent performance last night. We passed the ball around well given the given the conditions underfoot and looked pretty threatening going forward. The two goals we conceded were sloppy, I thought. Not totally convinced by Smith, he looks a bit cumbersome. Dick looked good at LB, although he did spend a large part of the match in their half. The trialist up front wearing no. 9 looked a handy player. Some clever runs and set up the first two goals. An entertaining match with a Jordan White comedy show at the end.

That's a tragedy...

Needing some good painkillers - the legal variety - for headaches, hangovers etc. Can anyone recommend?

First thing I bought when I got paid last Friday was a bottle of Glendronach 15yo.

From today's Daily Rangers: BOBBY RUSSELL admits watching his beloved Rangers being battered and bloodied on the road to extinction has been an agonising journey of personal heartache. But the 55-year-old Ibrox legend insists the time has come to take stock of the damage being inflicted on Scottish football and allow common-sense to kick in. Russell believes the carnage of liquidation can help trigger a fresh start for football in this country and is adamant the game is at a crossroads and the next move will determine whether it flourishes or dies. The former midfielder said: “Glasgow is in a state of shock but once it starts to ease just what is football in this city going to be left with? “No more Old Firm games, no Rangers and nowhere for 50,000 fans to go on a Saturday. “There must come a point where people realise the more of a kicking they give Rangers the more they are damaging the game. “I appreciate there needs to be punishments for what’s gone on but why should that include inflicting pain on the rest of the clubs. “The punishments being talked about all look to me like a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face. “What is gained by having Rangers in the First or Third Division? “Are all of the fans who go to Ibrox going to be allowed to leave the game at a time when attendances in the SPL are in perilous decline? “There is so much blood lust going on that the health of Scottish football is in danger of being overlooked. “At some point the reality that Rangers and Celtic are the twin pillars of football in this country needs to be accepted and constructive planning to take the game forward has to take place. “Celtic may prosper for a few years but long term the game will suffer unless a new Rangers is competing again in the SPL.” Russell, who now coaches kids in Canada, is appalled at the demise of a club which has been the focal point in the lives of generations of Glaswegians. And the man who played almost 400 games for Rangers admits he’s still coming to terms with the trauma of the last few months. He said: “When I first heard about Rangers going into administration I was gutted but at no point did I think it would lead to where we are now. “I could never have imagined I would see the day when the club no longer existed. “I always felt someone with substantial funds would step in and lead the club back from the brink. That hasn’t happened and the club I knew as Rangers is no more. “I feel heart sorry for the fans who are the innocent victims in all of this. “People who have supported the club for a lifetime have been left which a huge void. For some it will feel like a death in the family. “I keep hearing about how much some businessmen love the club but nobody has come forward to show just how much by putting up hard cash. “There needs to be less talk and more action as we are growing tired of false expectation and hopes being raised as one consortium after another comes and goes.” Bobby Russell = Delusional Sevco apologist.

I can't copy and paste it but the 3rd paragraph from the bottom worries me slightly as it says, "on the current rules". Maybe I'm reading too much into it but that could mean, as others have alluded to, a trade off between SPL and SFL in terms of income distribution and perhaps a play-off spot. Other than that, I'm fairly happy with the statement.
