  1. If you've read some of my posts, you'll give me a wee bit of credit on that. To think I would contribute even 1/1000th of a penny to Jabba's wage packet.

    On-line, just a wee scan daily to give me ammo to wind up the punters (berrs) at work.

    FFS grandad, get with it! No8. is right, every click on their website is recorded. The more hits they get, the more advertising revenue they receive. That's why it fries my nut when people post a link to a story in the Record...just C&P the actual article on here and stop dozens of others from clicking on said link!

    Amateurs ;)

  2. Same goes with urinals. For the uninitiated here is the unwritten rule: Imagine you walk into an empty toilet and are faced with 7 urinals...you are obliged to choose a urinal at either end. The next guy in then slashes in the urinal at the other end. 3rd guy in chooses middle urinal, etc. If you break this sequence you are immediately suspected of being one of those weird sideways boaby glancers and deserve any hostility directed towards you.

  3. I have to mention the classic non-story from today's Daily Ranger (in "transfer talk" of all things) ---Bedoya to remain a Ger.

    WTF, how in the name of the wee man is that a transfer, surely it's exactly the opposite, it's a non-transfer.

    What a shower of shite, just to get another The Rangers story in the paper rag.

    You forgot to say you read it at work/glanced at it in the shop, but didn't buy it.

    You didn't actually buy it, right?

  4. I was speaking to a guy in the pub last night who was telling me that The Rangers are about to float on the stock market and will generate at least £20m due to the assets of the company, and every time they sign a player like Sh els their value rises. I know pretty much nothing about the stock exchange, but surely to f**k that can't be true?

    He also said that HMRC absolutely cannot punish the Newco and that they're on target to sell 30,000 season tickets :rolleyes:

  5. Clyde's statements have been poetic prose.

    They've been very pleasing, and this one's no less scathing. Basically, the thundercunts at the SFA and SPL will now try and shoe-horn in an SPL2 before the start of the season and invite Rangers to join.

    Encouragingly, the 10 member clubs in the First Division seem to have pledged not to f**k over the rest of us by accepting the proposals.

    Looks like there's still plenty to emerge from this shambles

  6. Clyde's much anticipated post-vote statement is now up folks.

    The club chairman attended a very sobering meeting of the SFL today where the 30 clubs voted on resolutions in the manner that they felt were, on balance, for the good of the game. Nobody had arrived at decisions easily and all had been placed in intolerable positions of having to decide without the basic information that would reflect good governance and having to speculate about unresolved matters around sanctions and membership of the SFA that other bodies had so far failed to deal with.

    The outcome was never going to be a good one, but it was one of significant unity amongst the clubs, and even where clubs voted differently, it was not a divisive difference of views, everyone understood the complex mix of circumstances facing each club would never deliver unanimity of voting.

    We reported this morning prior to the vote of all clubs that “Sevco Scotland Ltd will not be playing in the Third Division in the coming season”. Nothing heard today altered that opinion, in fact, it strengthened it.

    For the good of the game we need to see the SFA accept the will of its members, who all voted today, as members of the SFL, in the clear knowledge that the SFA had it in its power to refuse to transfer SFA membership to Sevco Scotland Ltd should the vote support the entry of Sevco Scotland Ltd into SFL 3.

    We were asked to respect the confidentiality of those presenting today as only that agreement would allow them to be as candid as they were, we cannot therefore share what was said, however Mr Green left the SFL member clubs in no doubt about what he had been told by the SFA.

    The SFL saw a level of unity and unselfishness that owes significant credit to the first division clubs who stated their intention to seek a 42 club solution and not to take part in a divisive alternative. This kind of unity if maintained will help deliver the change that the game so badly needs and the first division clubs in particular will merit.

    If the SFA now act to support any process to undermine the clear views of the SFL members, who are also members of the SFA, then this club will join others in questioning those in leadership.

    Sadly for our game, this saga is not over, teams cannot plan and that includes Rangers, who may yet be denied the opportunity to play football in SFL 3 because it suits the interests of others.

     

  7. Another statement from Clyde re: voting intentions this morning

    The proposals to change the league structure, its governance and distribution model are indeed for the good of the game. What is not for the good of the game are the circumstances in which it has been proposed. It is only on the table for short-term financial reasons. Neil Doncaster told the SFL clubs that the SPL would not allow Rangers to join the Third Division as the loss of £16m would not be countenanced, he is also on record as having said that a 16 team league would cost £20m, therefore we can hardly have confidence that the focus on finance will allow these proposals to come to life.

    What is also not for the good of the game is 30 clubs being asked to vote knowing that a vote for Resolution 1 has a very high chance of being ignored by the SFA attempting to avoid any suggestion of what they perceive to be a dereliction of their duty. Such statements undermine basic democracy. Equally, voting blind to admit an organisation who has no membership of the SFA at a time when there is no vacancy in the SFL is not for the good of the game. Almost everything about this long run process is not for the good of the game.

    It would not be for the good of the game to compound the problems of a club by refusing entry to the SFL for Rangers Football Club. We will therefore take that leap of faith and vote in favour of Resolution 1 despite not a single word of reasoning having been provided to support the Resolution.

    On the basis that short-term financial drivers have not been for the good of the game in the past, then we will not support Resolution 2. It has unfortunately enmeshed positive change for the game with a proposal to admit Sevco Scotland Ltd to the First Division for the purposes of shoring up the short-term financial model which has to date failed The Game.

    The interests of the game will be served by decisions being made genuinely for the long-term benefit of the whole of Scottish Football, and not short term benefit for a few clubs.

    Our decision has at times had to defy logic and question our own short term interests as others focus on theirs. Given that the SPL and SFA have signalled a clear intention to act against any decision that might result in Sevco Scotland Ltd being admitted to the Third Division, then the limited logic left in this process points to them as believing they have the monopoly of wisdom on what is good for the game. We can expect that, no matter what the SFL clubs decide, Sevco Scotland will not be playing in the Third Division in the coming season. How more short-termism can be for the good of the game really does defy logic.

    When the dust settles on this affair, it would be good to think that we can all get back to watching football. Sadly, no matter how it turns out today, some will not return to our game

  8. My runners for this race are:

    Airdrie United (unfortunately) - Pro Rangers Chairman, if offered a pot of cash and a guaranteed board place that would mean that he could retain his position with the SFL and SFA I think he might take it, does not have the greatest relationship with the Airdrie Fans. Only drawback is that it is thought that he also is part of the company that owns the ground, which would become a difficult asset to dispose of

    Cowdenbeath - also Pro Rangers Chaiman, shortly to have no ground, very small fanbase.

    Clyde - again shortly to have no ground as they dissolve their partnership with NLC, very small fanbase.

    East Stirling - currently with no ground and also very small fanbase.

    Oh FFS, not this again. It's been done to death and shot down time and time again on this thread, you monumental arse

  9. John Brown is talking pish on Talksport right now. He sounds pished.

    Wouldn't surprise me, the oaf was done for drink driving not too long ago.

    Shouts about John Brown spearheading a new bid for the group has had me in stitches - this just keeps getting better and better! I know it's been posted before, but I highly recommend listening to the useless bumbling c**t's foul-mouthed audio interview after our defeat to East Fife. He was (eventually) sacked shortly afterwards. It's about halfway in for the impatient amongst you

    Ahm the manager arra fuckin' club. Stick that on yer fuckin' website
