It might be repetition, it might also be dull, and it might also be true! The rangers better be hoping that the three bears (snigger) have deep pockets and don't buy too many expensive christmas presents for their families this year.......

Sink us and we'll sink you!

It's the fans that are 100% to blame for the demise of rangers

Up.

Does that have anything to do with Whyte trying to get himself back on to the list of Creditors? Incidentally, as one of the rangers lots, who would you favour: Whyte or HMRC??

Ok, I see the reason for the appeal by BDO is probably the obligation to "reduce the liabilities". - If the appeal by BDO succeeds then the non-HMRC creditors get more of the pot. - If the appeal by BDO fails then the non-HMRC creditors get less of the pot. Now, throwing in another factor; if Craig Whyte succeeds in getting *his* name onto the creditors list, then BDO winning the appeal against HMRC will mean that HE will get more of the pot than if they lose. And THIS must really be messing with the minds of the rangers mob, if Whyte succeeds then there are 2 possible outcomes: HMRC lose and Whyte wins. or HMRC win and Whyte loses. I kind of hope that Craig Whyte does get himself on to the list of creditors - then we will see who the rangers lot hates more, Hmrc or Whtye??!!!!??!!!!

That's the bit I don't follow. Are the HMRC not the main creditor of Old Rangers? And if that's the case then - presumming available money is distributed by percentages to creditors - wouldn't the appeal decision in favour of HMRC not just mean that the HMRC are now due a bigger percentage of the money available to creditors? Or is it the case that maybe the BDO are trying to preserve existing percentages and therefore give more money back to the OTHER creditors of Old Rangers??

Why?

For what reasons would BDO appeal? - is it to keep as much money as it has a hold of for Old Rangers? - is it to keep as much money as it has a hold of for the Creditors of Old Rangers? - is it to help or hinder HMRC? - is it something else?

Maybe he just meant via BDO?

700k + Doods = over 1 million, no? Don't understand the 500k? I def recall it being a million pound 'deal' (and also remember a lot of people at the time thinking that it should have been Winters + Money = Dodds, rather than the other way round

Yes that sounds correct. One million for Paul Bernard!!!!!! In many ways, I'm glad that we can't afford such stupidity anymore....

Y Yes, rangers started throwing money about first, celtic followed, and then they were all at it (e.g. Istvan Kozma to Dunfermline or 600k and Robbie Winters by Aberdeen for ONE MILLION!!) So, yes, we are all to blame in one way or another. But, as usual, this is yet another example of rangers being at the heart of something bad happening in scottish football.... And, as you say, *if* the rangers survive long enough to try their luck in the top flight then watch them and celtic both spend fortunes on over-paid foreigners trying to out do one another....

yep, it's all about the money - as usual. Instead of Scottish football trying to copy the English model of spend-your-way-to-success (thanks for that Mr.Souness!!!), we should have been following the Scandinavian approach of focussing on native players and training them for success. For decades good young rangers lads rotted in the reserves whilst the club's fans wet-dreamed over the likes of Gazza, Laudrup and Der Boer. And, more recently, decent young celtic lads haven't been getting a look in thanks to the likes of Hooper, Wanyama and Graveson! IMHO, celtic and rangers are responsible for the decline in Scotland's standing in World football.

And with that statement you have won the award for the "Most Absurd Posting Ever" on this forum. Congratulations. Speech! Speech!

...so THANKS for that!

Anyone on here saying "stream of conscience" is mildly amusing, but from you, with your levels of pomposity, it is hilarious!

Nope, it's going spiffy!!

"Stream of conscience"!!!!!!! HAHAHA!!! I hadn't noticed that (which is bad what with me degrees in psychology.....) Brilliant!!!! What a useless pedant!!!

Funny! Well apart from the fact it relates to YOUR use of a strange word. That's where it all falls down.... But 9/10 for effort though!

....and as if by magic!

The Kinky will no doubt be very proud of your pedantry But I also know what you're saying - that rangers lot are forever picking up on the nuances of the words used to allow them to push their agendas. Sad but common.

Yeah, I'm fine thanks.

arrogant deluded hypocritical pseud. How you doing this evening?

Yes, only in Scotland! (well maybe in Russia too - although I'm not sure that even they would stoop to such corrupt levels....)
