Just how is such a "consortium" formed? Do they meet up in a pub and ask each other "See that spare £1m, you have, there's a football club in Scotland that is up to it's neck in *****. Would be a great investment". "Yeh, great. I'll have another pint, thanks"

To paraphrase a well known Chinese dictator and mass murderer: "A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step." (Mao Tse-tung (Zedong), 1893-1976)

It's getting exciting...

So Page 990. We'll definately break 1,000 today, but if Mr Green is involved in the counting it'll be 2,000, and if we stick with CW it'll be page 32.

OK, how soon till we start hearing: "It's not fair - you can't punish us for the sins of the previous owners" "Scottish football needs a strong Rangers" " We are an international brand and deserve that exposure" Or words to that effect. Yawn.

Aye, well I guess we'd just have to take it on the chin for the good of Scottish football And here's words I thought I'd never type - hope you win tomorrow.

The appeal to the Tribunal should be interesting. Has there been any sign of remorse or contrition? Er, no. Has any new evidence come to light that could help Rangers cause? Er, no. Has the club behaved in a responsible manner since the punishments were announced? Er, no. I think there is a good chance to SFA may up the ante following Sally and Craig's response. Fingers crossed.

Too good to miss. Is this our Berlin Wall or Tianammen Square moment? Perhaps we could ask them to come over to Hampden to lead a massed diddy team singalong celebration when The End comes?

Picked up a spare copy of The Daily Ranger on the train today and astonishingly it didn't beat about the bush. There does appear to be a wind of change, indeed. The tribunal report was quoted and seemed to have a lot of backbone. Given this only covers the Whyte era of astonishing mismanagement, we can only hope that the real big punishment is being saved for the double contracts / EBT stuff under SDM.

FFS you go out for the day and it takes about an hour to catch up on what is going on.... Page 973 at 2020 - I reckon we'll hit 1,000 just before kick off tomorrow. Popcorn ready.

Can we have some predictions for what time we will hit page 1000? Could we time it for kick-off of their last game on Sunday, or is there just too much fun to be had before then?

"Time for a sharp exit...."

Quite remarkable that this article about huge indebtedness is written by a journalist named "Govan" and features a picture of someone dressed in a blue top standing in a deserted street surrounded by property. http://tinyurl.com/cy999r3 Oh, sorry. It's in Spain......

11. That non-OF Scottish football fans are standing up to be counted against the spin and lies that somehow we cannot survive without scraps from the cheat's table.

There must be a lamb casserole dish somewhere in there......

I'm looking forward to the flowers, teddies, flags, scarves and strips tied to lamposts and railings and laid out over the street outside Ibrox when The End comes. Should be some quality vox pop quotes to look forward to as well...

Oh yes! Some great lyrics in there - "Something about roman candles burning out...." .... "we're clutching at straws, still drowning..." Class

Aye, pointless. That's why there'll be 50,000 people in Glasgow this weekend watching a game that doesn't involve the OF, then?

Perhaps we should have an Orson Wells' "War of the Worlds" scenario to put out the message that the sky IS indeed falling....A CY impersonator reading out a tear stained statement from H&D while Sky and BBC have blank screens and play martial music.

Shurely it'll be Shir Shean next up....

This is turning into Groundhog Day (again).....

And one more thing - it all seems to have gone quiet from the politicians. Why? A few months back they were falling over themselves to back this "Scottish institution" . Whatever could have changed their minds?

There's more than the SPL to consider should liquidation kick in. EVERY cup final would have at least one non-OF team - the days of "after you Claude" will be over. Should the other Cheek get a tough draw (unlikely I know) there could even be year after year of different teams winning trophies. And still they say Scottish football will die....

Splitters!
