  1. I’m even more confused now.

    Why didn’t they sue over Dundee?

    Different situation. There are various reasons we were not relegated to the 3rd, as per Livingston. Plenty of threads in the P&B archive to explain that one.

    With regards to Rangers, they have so far been handled with incredible lenience in comparison to every other Scottish football administration case I can think of (with exception of Motherwell... ). Get them to the 3rd.

  2. I might be wrong but from Livingston's point of view, while the original punishment was handed down by the SFL they did take the case (eventually) to the SFA which upheld it. If the SFA were to reverse the decision on Rangers then Livingston would ask why they weren't granted the same leeway. To be honest they don't really have a case since the rule they broke was based off the fact they went insolvent, however if Rangers eventually hit the same path and come out clean via appeals then they might have a case.

    Same for Dundee, if memory serves. Pretty sure we had our appeal thrown back at us, as Rangers' should.

  3. Your quantum is pretty impressive, but it is, of course, all about the deliverability of the quantum. I will therefore pledge 5 leftover christmas stamps to the p&b cause. I hope the image of the virgin mary on every stamp doesn't harm the integrity of the bid in the eyes of the bigoted traditional supporters.

    I can confirm I have a further 50 Christmas Stamps for contribution to our ever evolving P&B consortium quantum.

    The teddy bears definitely ken.

    Sorry, poor first post.

    .............. I'll get me coat.

    Welcome aboard, my good man!

  5. The Pie and Bovril consortium - we are going to bid.

    Just heard about the total idiots who were on the "bidders" list where Souness was going to be involved, except they didn't ask him.. Also he isn't interested. (At least not with these numskulls).

    If idiots like that can be taken seriously by Duff & Duffer (in desperation I admit), why don't we get a Pie and Bovril 'consortium' together. I think a tenner a head would go a long way in this game. So come on guys put your hands in your pockets.

    For my £10 I am prepared to accept certain responsibilities. I will list these before anyone else jumps in.

    They are:

    1. I will personally tell Kyle Lafferty he is history. On your bike, oot the door, clear your locker son, we have sold you to Stirling Albion.

    2. Will invite Mr Dingwall to the Ibrox trophy room to inform him he is banned from all things Rangers sine die. If you make any big time charlie statements about Rangers in the future we will sue the ass off you.

    3. The club tie will be black with 2012 on it (lest we forget)

    I am leaving Ally, Healy, Whyte, John Grieg the legend, McLelland, Martin Bain (oh I am jealous now) and the many others to everyone else.

    We might be a pretty stupid consortium, but not half as stupid as those currently being taken seriously by Duff & Duffer.

    I'm happy to contribute some time to this cause, provided our first three or four press conferences are performed in a poorly lit, disused jelly and ice-cream factory with the following equipment:

    — Smoke machines

    — Strobe lighting

    — A sound system capable of effectively playing 'Europe — The Final Countdown' for our entrance and approach to the conference table.

    As we answer a list of carefully prepared questions by paraphrasing Arnold Swarchenegger quotes, poor wee Ally will be trembling in his tracksuit, radiating enough fear and regret to keep Neil Doncasters's cold black heart pounding away for another century or two.

    We might not be financially astute, but by Christ, we will be dramatic.

  6. we should go that step further and bring Dundee back to suit Dundee United, St. Johnstone and to a lesser extent Aberdeen. St. Mirren can have Morton, Killie get Ayr back, Hamilton reappear for Motherwell's sake etc.

    I like it. No relegation, franchise system. I'd also advocate player drafts, an equal spilt of revenues, an across-league kit deal, no shirt advertising, and a competitive, and genuinely interesting sport where any dog can have their day - if they get the mix of players and tactics right, are motivated, organised, and believe in themselves.... Go Broncos.

    Wembley here I come. Rams v Pats, let's get it on.

    Before a game is permitted to kick off, each match should officially open with Jim Spence singing Anarchy in the UK, a cappella. Imagine the drama, poor Spency being flown around the country, his little Arab heart pounding a little harder with every emotion-filled rendition.

  7. The Swallow Hotel, fast food outlets near Ibrox, pubs and stuff... WTF do they have to do with what the SPL and SFA should solely be concerning themselves with? All they should be doing is acting fairly and without fear or favour in 'dealing with' Rangers FC.

    My club moved stadiums. The Cosmo (an excellent fish and chip shop) on Love Street has lost matchday business. Similarly the famous Wee Barrel pub on Love Street will have lost business. So will the grocer shop on the corner right next to our old ground. When our directors were sitting around the table deciding to move St Mirren to a new home - does anyone think they said "This stadium move will save the club, but what about the effect on the Cosmo Chippy?" No. No. No... with all due respect to the Cosmo Chippy, an establishment I have personally frequented since Sir Alex Ferguson's days at Love Street in 1977.

    If the SPL sit around the table tomorrow, and anyone says "Right, Rangers are guilty of X, Y, and Z... but hold on, what about sales of Zinger twisters in the KFC on Paisley Road West?" - then I will personally travel to Hampden and kick them in the stones.
