Hedgecutter Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I've just kicked the wing mirror off my 1994 cavalier f**k vauxhall Oh how I hope that's genuine! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I don't understand the banner the Ran*ers fans had at the recent game saying ' sink us and we'll sink you'. Surely if they are sunk and cease to exist they'll have no impact whatsoever on Scottish football? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Do you think Rangers fans would actually get behind an idea like that though? Would that not then be the team destroyed? (should a new team be created in England and playing in England). the logistics would render it unsustainable; bear in mind they'd have four or five seasons in regional leagues to begin with and that north of the M62 corridor senior non league teams are pretty few and far between other than a few in the north east., most of whom draw particularly crap crowds and are notoriously parochial and unambitious the vast majority of their trips would be 200 miles or so to slog about on a muddy field in a shit ground against teams that no more than 200 people give a shiny shit about; there would be no magnificient procession of unremitting glory against plucky non-leaguers all desparate to welcome the mighty rangers to their humble abodes that'd be stuffed to the gunnels with ruddy-faced children all gawping in wonder at the marvellous circus that'd hit town and the local womenfolk done up to the nines and flashing the glad eye at the heroic travelling hordes; it'd be a dour, shitty, tedious slog massively far removed from anything they've experienced before that and the fact that we don't want the b*****ds down here, anyway.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No8. Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Do you think Rangers fans would actually get behind an idea like that though? Would that not then be the team destroyed? (should a new team be created in England and playing in England). TBH i don't see it being a goer and was just posting what had been talked about recently on some of the forums. There is an empty stadium i believe and it is pretty run down. The idea is you join at the lowest level and get up a couple of divisions then point out the stadium needs re-developed and start pressing to move this New club to Glasgow but continue to play in the English lower divisions I visit London on a regular basis and know some AFC Wimbledon supporters. They really did suffer when their club was moved to Miulton Keynes and it has been a long hard struggle for the real hard core support who stuck by that club. I am pretty certain it owuld be a similar situation with Newco in this format and would be very difficult for years to come It is quite an interesting and different slant on where they will be playing...3 years minimum in Scotland to get back to the SPL or 8-10 years in England to get to the Championship/EPL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckinho Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Travelling 200 miles for a muddy pitch with a small crowd is something they can do in Scotland if ther ego ever gets out of the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I just remembered, after Rangers sue the BBC for their claims over the allegations regarding Whyte and the clubs finances, they should be fine! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owsley Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 One thing worrying me slightly is that it was an independent committee set up by the SFA who reached this verdict. I'm guessing that the appeal will go before the SFA itself. Would that include Mr Ogilvie? I have a horrible feeling the embargo will be cut in half or worse. That Lord William Nimmo Smith, must be a kafflick with a name like that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 They have cheated, they were cought and they have been punished. Only fair Its great that the SFA have dealt strongly with this years cheating. They must now turn their attention to the decade of ebit cheating and double contracts and wipe all trophies won during that time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quitongo's Left Peg Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 “The Scottish FA has a responsibility to all its members and must implement its rules without fear or favour.

WaffenThinMint Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 That Lord William Nimmo Smith, must be a kafflick with a name like that! Nope, he's actually someone linked with a highly dodgy Edinburgh Uni alumni Masonic group accused of all manner of malpractices, especially during the Skye Road Bridge toll protests. That was what made his damning verdict all the more surprising at the time, but considering that lot's perchance for self preservation, it may well have been he knew an utterly lost cause where he saw it and saw no reasons to lay himself open to censure trying to save it for Brother Ogilvie and co. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottxs Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 John McMillan of RSA... My link What this has got to do with Lennon is beyond me. But spokesman for the RSA and complete and utter buffoon John McMillan seems to think he can compare the punishment given to Lennon with that handed to ra peepul. Why can't these morons accept that they've brought shame upon the Scottish game without reeling out the old line 'Ah but Neil Lennon done this...' etc. poor simple minded fool. usual crap of blame the ginger kid he's the bad one not ushonest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quitongo's Left Peg Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 If we booted them out the SPL and brought in Morton or Thistle ours probably wouldn't be affected too much. Same with Kilmarnock if they brought in Ayr. So what we're saying is... If there were more teams in the league, more people might go to matches? Throw Rangers out and invite in Ayr, Dundee, Falkirk, Morton, Thistle and Airdrie. Then most SPL clubs would make up for the loss of Rangers fans attendance with those of their rivals. Sorted, I await confirmation of this being implemented soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
