The RTC blogger is a heroic whistleblower who the bears should be thanking for attempting to warn them about The MBB and their then impending financial doom.
Heroic?
Can tell you talk a lot of sense...

I didn't know "The Human Thumb" was from Galashiels.
First time i've read this thread.
Know that guy quite well. Quite popular around the Borders actually.

Tom English: Cringing at Charles Green tribute act
Craig Mather: Rallying call. Picture: SNS
By TOM ENGLISH
Published on 06/06/2013 00:00
Craig Mather’s spiel about the enemies of Rangers and the vengeance that will be visited upon them won no marks for originality.
It was a depressingly familiar and grimly predictable routine as practised by Charles Green last summer, a cynical play for the affections of the support by telling them what they want to hear.
It was as if Mather, the interim chief executive, went rummaging in the drawers of his predecessor and found a gameplan on how to prise season ticket money from the fans. Mather’s words at a Rangers supporters’ soiree in North America last weekend were cringe-making.
“You [the supporters] might believe we don’t feel hurt to the same extent as you, but we do,” said Mather. Frankly, Craig, I very much doubt that you do, but anyway. . . “Sometimes you have to wait,” he continued, when referring to the action that would be taken against these Rangers haters. “We’ve chosen, and we will continually choose, the right moment to strike. Please, never believe that I or any other directors don’t know the names of the people who have tried to damage this club. We know them all. We know what each one’s tried to do and I can assure you we will never, ever forget about that.”
If this was coming from John Greig or Walter Smith or Ally McCoist you might still find it melodramatic and completely daft, but at least you’d know that it was heartfelt from people who have Rangers in their blood, people who are emotionally involved. Coming from Mather, who couldn’t find his way to Ibrox until relatively recently, it is utterly pre- posterous.
It’s hard to know how best to describe Mather’s rallying call. In this instance he comes across as a kind of Phil Neal figure, if you remember that documentary about Graham Taylor when he was manager of England. Neal was Taylor’s assistant and also Taylor’s parrot. Green may have left his position at Ibrox but he appears to have an acolyte in Mather in the business of galvanising season ticket sales. That’s something the new chairman might want to address. The Odditorium at Ibrox has seen enough nonsense for one lifetime without Mather adding to it with his Green tribute act.

Anyone who speaks about a football team having 'enemies' is a complete tosser.
What's the point in this article?
How much do you think this Tom English gets paid to write this nonsense? Unbelievable.

So, can anyone tell me why Graeme Souness and Walter Smith were receiving payments from the Murray Group EBT scheme when they were no longer employed by RFC?
They were given them.

Oh Sweet Jesus.
Of course, people wouldn't change team every time they move house. By 'local team', I'm talking about teams to which people have a local connection, probably from childhood. I too have lived in various places but of course remained a Queens fan throughout. I can't believe I'm actually being forced to type out an explanation of this.
As for jealousy, I didn't think I'd be doing so as soon again, but I'll just pop this up again:
For the umpteenth fucking time, IT'S NOT JEALOUSY.
I'm jealous of plenty people in life:
I'm jealous of those who are smarter than me, who are better at football than me, who have more money than me. Hell, I'm even jealous of that select band who are better looking than me.
In other words, I'm jealous of those who possess something I lack and have no obvious way of attaining.
Why, in the name of God, would I be jealous of those who've made a choice that I'm perfectly at liberty to imitate? If I was jealous of Rangers fans, I'd quite simply become one.
That I don't, is pretty conclusive evidence that I'm not experiencing jealousy.
That Bad Day's ramblings excited a greenie from Belfast Tim will surprise nobody, but Tedi
, Jesus man, you're on a steep descent at the moment.I never said you were jealous of Rangers fans. I am not Rangers. You are jealous that your team are irrelevant and the big bad Rangers aren't.
I was born in Leeds and moved around Europe for 3 years, so who should i support by your rulings?

Yes, but I never said the bit you've put between quotation marks, and then you start ranting and swearing like a deranged lunatic.
Forgive me if I confine this discussion to people like No8 who are actually capable of debate.
Are you a poof?

Agree with this.
The bitterness on here is unbelievable sometimes. It's not our fault people chose to support lower league teams. People can support whoever they want.
My post was written in a red mist so couldn't imagine it being legible let alone agreeable
You are spot on though, most people don't have that much of say in who they support, it's how they're raised. With my dad being a Rangers fan i was always going to be a Rangers fan, i've lived in numerous different places all with different football teams, what should i do then, change the team i support every time i move house?
They deny it but it's quite simply jealousy, they don't like the OF as we win everything, they deny the jealousy and say it's because of a monopoly, a monopoly which started from both clubs being the most attractive and supported teams in Scotland. They bleat on and on about how unfair this is and accuse OF fans of not properly supporting their teams, supporting our clubs due to bigotry rather than a love of football. From my viewpoint they spend most of their time obsessing, bleating and crying over how successful the OF teams are, moaning about bigotry and basically anything other than supporting their own football teams.
If they stopped trying to play the poor wee downtrodden victim card and started supporting their teams then maybe, just maybe they might be able to compete and become a successful football club.
Bitterness and jealousy turns people into horrible creatures and i think there are just as many "diddy" team fans that get caught up in "All OF are bigoted c***s, yadda yadda" than there are OF fans that get caught up in sectarianism.
I love diddy team fans that couldn't care less about the OF because they support their own teams. Others should learn from them.

I'm not so much blaming Rangers, as the the people who 'follow' them at the expense of their local team.
Without wishing to go over it all again, I've decided I'm more readily prepared to miss Queens games than before, following the way my club voted last summer. The reality is though that I've still attended the majority of games.
Anyway, the point isn't about me, or even Queens. It's about the fact that too few people, in my view, would see themselves as fans of their local diddy outfit. Of those who do though, most are pretty committed. The same would not be said of those who call themselves Rangers (or Celtic) fans.
Utter nonsense.
Why are you blaming people for not supporting their local team to defend your own team? Teams like your own should make themselves more appealing rather than bitching and moaning that nobody supports your team.
"Aye they would be QOS fans but they support Rangers instead" - shut the f**k up, what a pathetic viewpoint.
You diddy team fans are worse than the **** on here. You spend all day pointing the finger at the OF rather than improving yourselves. It's obsession, which may be helped if your own team was more appealing tbf.

I love how the contents of my posts don't matter to Norm, he just see's what he wants to see and then rambles..
I've noticed that
He also likes to write an essay of utter irrelevant Rangers centred pretentious pish then trail off on a friendless mans ramble about bigotry. Changes his opinions dependant on who he is speaking to, never speaks about Killie and is one of the shitest posters i've ever encountered on a forum and i've been on FF and RM.

Perhaps he is taking dignified silence lessons from Walter.
Seriously though do you or anyone else know what he is doing to justify getting a wage?

Any Rangers fans know what Traynor has done or is doing?
When asking this question a while back it seemed he was writing a book about Green - lol.
Now Green is gone what is JT doing???

Craig Whyte camp pointing out he never claimed any Sevco Scotland involvement and that’s the whole point
Thommo is fading so fast he's latched onto whyte.

If the judge in the imminent court battle agrees then there will be serious repercussions for Sevco Scotland and hence Rangers.
I agree. I am not clued up enough to know the legalities around it but shafting someone in business is not often "by the book" so to speak

You believe that do you?

Do you believe they weren't in it together? It doesn't matter to me either way but given the stuff already in the public domain it seems a bit of a stretch. What was the 'you are Sevco' stuff all about? I notice the bbc report mentions there was no evidence of a link between Whyte and Sevco Scotland Ltd but then isn't that his point entirely - that Green used a similarly named company so as to stiff him?
I personally think they were "in on it" together to purchase the club but Green saw the opportunity and shafted Whyte.

Shocker that Rangers appointed enquiry finds Rangers not guilty.
The 54 titles version of Rangers are emphatically NOT still going strong. They died - surely you remember that event?
What are you implying? The enquiry gave Rangers what we wanted to hear? You're a bitter one.
How the f**k can titles die?

The thing is mate this thread has run its course a long long long time ago. When I first joined you could have a decent argument about the whole situation but now its just us t1ms winding you bears up with help from the diddies. It always just ends in a slagging match now, the fact is rangers fans have one point of view and we have another and I can't see either side budging
I must admit I do enjoy winding up the likes of AWRA and Badday and brit patriot, not so much you Kincardine.Edit: keep forgeting the T word is banned on here
When have you wound me up?

I know how I define it. No pedantry involved.
You know the definition of the 'cheats' and the 'cheating' we are talking about.
You will probably now proceed to do the Angels Dancing on the Point of a Pin arguments of defelction and denial.
Heard it, ad nauseum.
Don't Care.
Old Dead Rangers = Cheats.
Aw no you're one of those type of posters.
Bye.

I seem to remember Rangers fans greetin when the transfer embargo was enforced on the club and then came the cries of we'll be relegated from the SPL with the players they had left and then decided they wanted 3rd division football because they thought it would kill the SPL off completely because Rangers would not be in it as well as they were sure they would win the 3rd division at a canter.It would appear that the fear of getting pumped left right & centre in the SPL as well as the fear of relegation from the SPL was the motivation for 3rd division footy with the wankfest of the SPL going bust because Rangers were not in the SPL.
You have a warped memory.

*coffee spray on keyboard"
Well it all depends on how pedantic you can be or how you define "cheat".

Exactly what happened.
What do you suggest happened?

You said you wanted to start in Div 3, you made no mention of 'after we were told to f**k off by the SPL'. At least wait till tomorrow before you try to re-write today.
I support Partick you idiot, why would my team need to make up for the loss of some cheats from a league we didn't (at the time) play in.
"It must hurt" - Stop projecting, Rangers and their b*****d offspring Sevco have given me nothing but laughs. For example just yesterday I was walking past the Park Bar (yes yes I don't support my local team - I'm a rank bad yin) when a lovely young lass was explaining to all that "now we will see the true owners of Rangers - David {Kelly, Kerr not sure but I'm guessing she meant Murray} Walter Smith and John Brown. It was all I could do to keep a straight face until I got round the corner. Keep it up.
I thought it was quite obvious, of course we would have wanted to be back in the SPL! Why wouldn't we have?
Not an idiot just didn't look to the side. We're not cheats.
Some make believe story about a stupid Rangers fan, was it fun to type that out? See if my life was that hollow that i took such delight from a stupid PT fan talking about their club then i'd be very worried.
It must hurt constantly being so bitter and spreading nonsense on here. Just enjoy football as a sport not what your deluded daddy told you about the big bad Rangers.
