I am confused. BBC reporting that Chris Hegarty has signed a a one year deal with Rangers new co. Are they allowed to do that? The old Rangers were not allowed to sign players while in administration, yeah? And are this new SEVCO folk even a football club? It is all so messy and tawdry

Not even as many as 40! (See my rage induced biblical error yesterday!) Yup, that is what I am worried about! However, we have just laid our new all weather surface and that should have stabalised finances this year (fewer postponements, loss of sponsorship etc) so I am hoping that they would need to accept this disgraceful deal

Away to try and catch up on 30 odd pages but this has just been announced from Forfar Athletic. Don't know that it makes their position clear but at least communicating with fans. The Board of Directors at Forfar Athletic Football club will be making no public comment on the current crisis in Scottish Football brought about by the liquidation of Rangers FC and the likely rejection of the Newco's application to remain in the SPL, prior to a meeting of SFL club's at Hampden Park on Tuesday of next week." The club's Chairman and Secretary will attend this meeting with an open mind on the subject, will listen and enter into the discussions and no doubt arguments that will ensue on the day. They will then report back to their fellow Directors before the club make any decision on motions which will be put to an extraordinary and undoubtedly historic general meeting of the Scottish Football League to be held later in July. As they have always done throughout recent history, Forfar Athletic officials will at all times give serious consideration in any deliberations on what is the best course of action going forward for the Scottish footballing family as a whole and of course the protection and future of Forfar Athletic Football Club will be paramount.

Yeah. That's how much I am raging! Thanks

i just heard this on the radio coming home from work and I had to get on here straight away - I am completely and utterly disgusted by this. Sickens me to the stomach. If this comes to pass, I will not be back at Forfar nor will I be renewing my son's season ticket. Please, Forfar, please, don't sell yourselves for this shoddy, disgusting 40 pieces of silver.

That video of Brown and all those brain dead fans at Ibrox is just jaw-droppingly amazing. I actually could not believe what I was hearing. And THAT is the saviour of Rangers??!!

Think this is the best gif in the whole thread!!! Too funny!

Oh my God, seriously? I haven't been able to get on for two days, not even two full days - and there have been almost 100 pages!! haha This is just incredible! Not a chance of wading through all these! I know some kind soul will help me - a possible summary of anything significant in last couple of days? Thanks in advance!

Hah - Phil Bonnyman who put Rangers to the sword that day was assistant manager of Forfar at one point. I didn't realise he had such an illustrious past!

OK I think I have to hold my hands up.....I have been scouring everywhere for something about Rooney and I think it is bollocks. You are right, folk are tweeting that "performance enhancing rug" joke....I seriously can't believe the BBC News anchorman started his link with the reporter saying "reports are coming in from our news team that Rooney has tested positive for a performance enhancing rug"........How irresponsible is that!!?? haha That is exactly how rumours start!!! Especially cause I splashed it all over twitter straight away!!! Sorry folks, mea culpa....(are you listening at Ibrox? That wasn't hard!)

Off topic sorry - but wow!! Did I just hear BBC news say that Wayne Rooney has tested positive for a performing enhancing drug!!??!! This summer really does just keep giving the best news ever!!!

They don't need anything......except a league to play in......... jimbeamjunior General Jimbeamjunior Group:HSV Rangers Topics:980 Posts:22,922 Rep:553 Joined:05-November 08 Gender:Male Location:glasgow Posted Yesterday, 09:51 PM Absolutely nothing, not a fucking thing from these rat b*****ds Even if they offered us a 10 point head start id tell them to take a flying f**k to themselves We are Rangers, we dont need anyone or anything to be the worlds most successful club, the SPL should very well remember that.

I am not sure if anyone else has flagged this up http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-18508812 Looks like Jimmy Carr and others have been using the old "loan instead of a salary" scheme too. That must be why Rangers fans think it is all fine and dandy - if 8 out of 10 cats prefer it!

I have to say that I am having totally mixed feelings at the moment as to what shall happen. I have had the feeling over last couple of days that quite a few journalists and sections of the media are starting to realise that Rangers (or whatever guise they wish to pretend they inhabit) are just too toxic and poisoned to allow to escape any form of sanction. Guys like Jim Spence are obviously outwith the west coast cartel and have fairly reflected the strength of feeling among supporters to see Rangers dealt with appropriately. But even Michael Grant in the Herald today wrote about how people are sick of Rangers moaning without saying "sorry" and recognised that there have been NO punishments so far other than a 10 points deduction for going into administration - and even that was meaningless as they still finished second! I was just beginning to hope that the tide was turning in the media, that some journalists were recognising that fans of other clubs WILL walk away if the Newco is admitted to the SPL, if they aren't made to start at the bottom tier (the 1st division option is a joke btw - why should they be allowed in ahead of other SFL clubs?) and that there was recognition that the Sky threats were just scaremongering. However, all this has been tempered somewhat with the feeling that SPL chairman will now bottle it and ignore the wishes of their fans. I think the Motherwell statement is setting their supporters up for a yes vote and trying to justify it in advance. This is just my thoughts at the moment on the situation and of course, I could be misreading both aspects!

A fellow Loon eloquently commenting on everything I have felt about this whole sorry saga. Well done

Knowing our luck we will get relegated and miss them when they run away with the third division! Cause that is what will happen of course, according to all the Rangers fans! Even the U 12s or whatever age group they are allowed to play will sweep aside all the diddy teams in the lower leagues! Ahh, the 80s! Scottish Cup semi against Rangers, seconds away from beating Dundee United in the middle of their double wins over Barcelona! And did you know white rose, we we just one win away from promotion to the premier league in about 86! You finished just above us on goal difference on last day of season.

OK - 1354 pages and I am now raging enough to finally post! I can't believe this decision from the Court of Session - whatever happened to the part the SFA and appeals tribunal quoted about "any other sanctions they thought fit" (or similar wording)? Surely that covers the transfer embargo? I am actually raging about this - I have had far more eloquent thoughts to post for weeks now but my actual anger over this has made me just a raging wreck!
