Do you think Samson would have saved your first one? He was also shocking at our goal
Can only comment on what I've seen from the highlights online, but I'm surprised Samson didn't tip the ball over for a corner rather than slow it down and keep it in play in the box by parrying it across the goal. As for Falkirk's GK, two goals scored low to his left (is that an area of weakness for him?) and the third from him leaving his goal open after flapping unchallenged at a cross - hardly an impressive start to the season for him.

And here it is again in even more detail - note the list of perceived punishments, only a few of which are actually punishments and relate only to relatively minor aspects of the fiasco.
I think that a stronger brand of coffee is required at Ibokes 'cos they just ain't smelling the current one (see what I did there?)

That new-found humility clearly had a shelf-life that was shorter than a Scottish summer!!!!!!!!
The dumb f@cks just don't get it, even after all that's gone on. If you want to keep the history and the titles that were won right up to the death of the club formerly known as Rangers then deal with the consequences of how those were obtained.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines punishment as: "an unpleasant experience imposed on someone as a result of a criminal or wrongful act. "
Rangers have received very little in the way of punishment thus far. The 10 point penalty on entering administration, their subsequent demise into imminent liquidation and entry of their new entity to the 3rd Division are the natural consequences of their financial circumstances through the application of the agreed rules of the footballing authorities - THESE ARE NOT PUNISHMENTS.
Punishments are what are dealt out in return for being caught cheating by using double contracts, fielding inelligible players due to wrongful registration, going crying to the Court of Session etc etc, the list of which goes on and on; and that's before we even get into the illegality of what brought us to where we are today by non payment of taxes and NI contributions ..... need I go on?

Let them have one last walk on 12 July before killing them off on Friday the 13th?

Seriously though guys, why didn't Rangers just pay back the HMRC? When you think about it, it sounds ridiculous that they chose not to. They could have come to an agreement to pay back 10m per year over 10 years (the same amount of time they accrued the debt i.e. didn't pay taxes). HMRC would be happy to come to a legally binding agreement to get their money back. They'd still be in the SPL, they'd still be strong enough to finish second, they'd still be the old rangers with their history, still competing in europe. When you consider they paid Duff & Phelps ~5.5 m on administration fees they could easily have achieved this. Rangers could have been playing all sorts of glamour ties to raise funds and most of all they could have just been honest with their fans.
Instead, they chose to liquidate and thought everything would be hunky-dorey. Morons.
Out greenies so have one this way. Sounds simple when you put it that way.

Can't remember where I came across it but a fail safe decision making process is already in use every few years.
Once all meeting attendees are in the room someone locks them in, then presumably surviving on a diet of pancakes and pizza slipped under the door they are not allowed out until they have made a decision that the rules provide for.
Wish I could remember where that came from ....

Fucking hell
will be a farce if this actually happens!Maybe I'm being stupid but I still don't think this new Rangers have over 15 players on their books at the moment, they have no money to spend and would have the weakest SPL squad by far. What would happen if they finished bottom?
Re-organisation of the leagues of course with no relegation from the SPL

Todays from The Telegraph
Key points :-
> SPL vote will be deferred
> Evidence of a rethink in some quarters
> Rangers? could be admitted if they accept a number of conditions
> Clubs now in a more informed position (they understand the bribe better)
> SFA deny comments regarding Newco non-admittance
> Hutton will almost certainly find himself on a disrepute charge
> Proposal is for one team relegated and three promoted next season (just in case they don't win it)
> and the same again for the 2013-14 campaign.

Look on the bright side - We all tried to make something significant happen on page 1690 of this thread. Are the SFL Chairmen simply buying time so that they can tell Sevco to Foxtrot Oscar on another significant date? Unlikely granted, but still another opportunity to point and laugh amongst the mire that this shambles has become.

Looks to me like the SPL has a textbook case of Stockholm Syndrome

That is basically what the issue is in a nutshell

I've got enough respect for the St Mirren support to not comment on the latest news. I'd be keen to know their thoughts though...
Chairman is thinking with his wallet. I will be giving serious consideration to the cancellation of my CIC subscription. I don't intend giving my money to an institutionally corrupt "sporting"competition or to a BoD that condones it.

And they don't need to flee the country either, as you were implying.
FFS if you interpreted my post as a direct incitement to harm or endanger the officialdom of Scottish football you need to get out more. Don't take things so literally.
Simply a "tongue in cheek" way of expressing the level of popularity that "band of brothers" can probably expect and how they might want to deal with it.

Watch it, I'm pretty sure that's what Rangers fans said about Whyte.
Nobody is going to be harmed by "diddy" fans regardless of what happens here, we're human beings FFS.
Who said anything about "harming"? I certainly didn't, but the blazers will need to consult their Bumper Book of Bullsh1t Explanations to talk themselves out of this one

Graeme Macpherson @Graeme_MacphersStewart Gilmour tells St M fans he doesn't know if SPL vote will take place tomorrow.
Graeme Macpherson @Graeme_MacphersSt M season ticket sales 300 down on this time last year.
After waiting all this time if there is no vote tomorrow the Chairmen can kiss goodbye to what credibility they had left.
As for the wuckfits presiding over this shambles from the SFA, SPL & SFL they had better make sure their passports are valid because they will have nowhere to hide from the justifiably disgusted Scottish football fans who, with the exception of Mr. Turnbull Hutton, appear to be the only people capable of differentiating between right and wrong here

I'd take anything Chris McLaughlin says with a Siberian mine's worth of salt.
Embarrassingly poor throughout the crisis and little more than an Ibrox conduit.
By the sounds of it Doncaster hasn't helped matters today. I was a bit concerned earlier that the SPL chairmen would buckle under the intense pressure and vote them into the SPL but now we have an assurance from Regan that that won't happen (presumably his had has been forced by a watchful UEFA / FIFA).
The battle will switch after tomorrow's formality to a scramble for SFL votes in the next 7-14 days. The 30 chairmen, like their SPL counterparts, will come under phenomenal pressure from the media but , so far, I can't see where Sevco's 16 votes are coming from.
Anything can happen, but it looks like they will be applying for a third division place crated by their own downfall, having already royally pissed off the majority of the membership on whom their election depends.
It's a Sevco facepalm, to be honest. They really would have been better to have kept their heads down and muzzled their attack-dog proxies in the media, and I guarantee that they would have been looking at a much more favourable outcome to their plight.
No coincidence that the non apology was made today, giving the media and those blazers in positions of influence a reference point to beat the SFL/SPL Chairmen with

Only 4.5 months late, given that they must have known the unfathomable depth of the trouble they were in and they still can't separate themselves from the "it was the owners not us" argument

Quote from Rangers Tax Case (http://rangerstaxcas...#comment-120809)"If I was the suspicious and cynical type, I would conclude that this deal is not as done as has been claimed. It has been rumoured on messageboards that Green did not have the funds available to conclude the deal as planned and that Duff & Phelps proceeded anyway- giving Green time to pay from the proceeds of season ticket sales. Certainly this would explain some of the strange circumstances described above. Players could not be sent TUPE notifications if their contracts have not in fact been transferred yet. Duff & Phelps would doubtless prefer to receive season ticket funds directly rather than wait for Green to make good on a promise."
This would seem to explain a lot. What do you think of this theory?
That could go somewhere towards making sense of the shambles.

Neil Doncaster has been quiet because he is carefully considering all the best possible scenarios for Scottish football. Here's a quick guide to his thought process so far....
There is one vital ingredient missing from that pic Poz, although it could be argued that the face does enough to explain what that might be.

Any word on whether salaries have been paid at Ibrokes??????
Think about it boys and girls, Sevco has no income at present and has to pay salaries to all staff, even those that have announced they won't move across up until at least the time when they advised their intentions. What must that amount to and with another full month and more between now and the start of the season there will be next to no income in that period either. Meanwhile, there are the running costs of Ibrokes & MP and whatever other expenditure needs to be met.
Who actually thinks the Sevco zombies 2012 will be around to see the start of the season in spite of the SFA/SPL/SFL's best efforts to nurse them along with the minimum of sanction for their cheating.?

Title of this song just about sums the situation up.

"Jardine said: "It's a lot of nonsense that our history does not carry on. There are a lot of other fans out there saying that we are a new club but that's not the case.
"We never worried about what other supporters said in the past and we shouldn't worry about what other supporters say now.
"What matters is what Rangers supporters think.
"We are a club with 140 years of history and next year we will be a club with 141 years of history."
No, next year you will be a club with 140 years of history.
No, next year they will be the reconstituted, regurgitated husk of a once large club that had a history for 140 years ....
That's if they make it until next year!

It's only 3 points, but 3 points against a team that we should be competing with at the top of the table. A bit early to be talking about "6 pointers" but that's what Saturday was if we are serious about challenging for the promotion places.
