Selected quote from Traynor's column...
What fans who are driven by raw emotion, sometimes even blind hatred, think about Rangers is pretty irrelevant.
He's right, but feck 'im

The good thing about Spartans having a say in Rangers dying is the Orcs will never find them - they'll be poring over AA road maps trying to find Sparta.
So to Craig Graham I say this -
Go tell the Spartans, thou who passest by,
That here, obedient to the laws of the SFA, UEFA and FIFA, we will not lie

Sorry to interupt, not usually on the forum. I don't know if this has been posted before but East of Scotland League posters wondering if it was right that Craig Graham, Chairman of Spartans who was one of the three SFA Appeal Panel members should be allowed to be part of a decision to punish Rangers when his club could benefit from the outcome. Especially now when FIFA allegedly wish the SFA to heavily punish Rangers. If Rangers were expelled this would leave a vacancy which Spartans would apply and possibly gain entry to the SFL as a result. What are the views, please?
The whole of Scottish football will benefit when that filthy, cheating, sectarian club dies, not just Spartans so we are all Craig Graham.

If suspension is effectively a death sentence for a club, why bother having it as well as expulsion as a punishment? It's like having a scale of penalties for a crime going from a fine to 6 months in jail, death penalty, death penalty.

Hope the SFA suspend Rangers.

The Skye run sounds awesome - I'm going up there this week, but in a car.
I've been concentrating on short 20-25 mile runs recently, trying to get my fitness back up. That easterly wind is a killer - easily wiping 30% off my pace.

From BBC rumours section -
Rangers' joint administrator Paul Clark admits he did not know the company was breaching Fifa rules by taking the Scottish Football Association to court over punishments issued to the Ibrox club. (The Scottish Sun on Sunday)Which is wot I speculated about 50-ish pages ago.
D&P are a global brand, absolutely huge in this field. Surely their reputation is being harmed by those two incompetent clowns at Ibrox. Is there any chance Whitehouse & Clark could be fired?

I am sure that D&P and the Rangers legal team must be well aware that the likely consequence for this action is to force the SFA's hand, and compel them to expel Rangers from the SFA.
I wouldn't be too sure. D&P are used to dealing with knackered businesses in the real world but football is a closed loop with it's own rules and procedures. What D&P are arguing makes perfect sense when applied to a normal business.
It wouldn't surprise me if the first they knew about FIFA's previous regarding clubs going to court was when they read it in the media after they started proceedings. A real "Oh shit" moment for them

@bbcsportsound Given all the lying and deceit coming out of Ibrox for the last 20 years would it surprise you if David Murray had legs??????

Is it possible that the thinking behind Haudit & Daudit going to the courts is that the SFA had 2 options open to them: fines or expulsion. The first had already been done and remains open to them if Rangers continue in admin. The 2nd option, expulsion, was deemed too harsh. So they came up with a new punishment - a transfer embargo, which no one was expecting. It's a bit like going to court on a charge of shoplifting and expecting a fine or the jail only for the judge to say "Nah, we're gonna paint you bright pink and superglue you to Vikington's sheets for a laugh" instead.
H&D may take the line that the embargo is unprecedented and the SFA are making it up as they go along.
If the court agrees that the SFA acted outwith their own rules, they can't then use the nuclear option of expulsion because the original hearing AND the appeal both said this was too harsh.
All the SFA would be left with is fines and with Rangers trying to screw everyone over for pennies in the pound they're hardly likely to care about another bill.

My link. As I understand it, Google likes to have links to the likes of cockwomble or Neil doncaster to come from a variety of sites. With this in mind, I have added a few "ghost" pages to some of my sites with the phrases cockwomble, Donkeymaster,and Neil Doncaster liberally sprinkled throughout. These sites also have pictures of the cockwomble Neil Doncasterwith appropriate file names attached. Appropriate, you say? Well most of them have the filename cockwomble.jpg.
Every little helps.....
Very interesting. Bears repeating.
Can't we have a dedicated cockwomble or Neil doncaster thread though?

I thought the Joanna Lumley piece was puerile, childish and totally unnecessary tbh. Cheap muckraking the Daily Retard would be proud of.
On a brighter note, the Papac info nails the BTC. Allied with the sheer scale of the tax dodging operation and that NO OTHER CLUB was doing it means they've got to be thrown out the leagues.

D+P replaced by end of week and replaced by what should have been inplace 3 months ago, something call ''an administrator'' - cue wholesale redundancies and liquidation inside a fortnight. No newco. No oldco. Just nothing left but ashes
^^^^^^^my hope and now best guess.
I just leaked a little bit of sex wee

An Open Letter From Football Chairmen
Dear customers,
Of late we have seen a rise in poorly spelled, illegible letters and e-mails to our secretarial staff. God knows what's in them as we don't actually read them or care, but our in-boxes are getting clogged and our waste baskets need emptying more. Please stop sending us your drivel.
It has however come to our attention over a number of years that the little people who squeeze through the turnstiles seem to be labouring under the delusion that the clubs belong to them. Let us make this clear - these businesses are ours, bought and paid for. Many are trinkets to be shown off like trophy wives, some are family heirlooms and others are convenient tax dodges. Do the fat fucks filling their faces in MacDonalds every day imagine the company to be theirs? Do they imagine they can start dictating business strategy to MacDonalds? Of course not and similarly, the clubs are ours and if we have to hear any more whining shit from the customers, there's going to be big changes.
Do you think it's easy running a business where income through the gates varies so much from season to season, game to game? What sane company accountant could fail to notice that tv income is predictable, steady and (Setanta apart), safe. Plans are in place already to get rid of direct paying customers. The tv companies assure us that CGI can create a full stadium with ease so no more security staff, no more police costs, no more smelly dog-food pie stands.
So shut the f**k up little people. We decide what is best for us. If we decide we want to keep one of our commercial partners in business, that's for us grown ups to decide.
Yours in sport
ps - Get your season ticket money out now, we've got bills to pay.

It's hilarious how not a lot of Rangers fans post in this thread.
It's because you're not fucking welcome. Most of your bigoted, cheating filth got the message some time ago so piss off and join them.

Sone Aluko, who scored a second half hat-trick yesterday, is one of those players now out of contract, although the club have offered him a new two-year deal.
How can Haudit and Daudit offer two year contracts to players?

Grazing land in Scotland is around £4000 an acre. The pitch at Ibrox is two acres so you have a guaranteed value of £8000 right there.
Put a few sheep on it, convert the offices into bedrooms and you've got yourself a pied a terre for visiting teuchters with ensuite "extras".
