Gaz FFC Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I fail to really understand Rangers fans' reasoning in this. They think a transfer embargo is killing their club as they will be forced to play kids, and might get relegated. That would be fine, but you've had plenty Rangers fans and even people like Ally McCoist say that they'd be okay with being demoted to the 3rd division and working their way up. That seems like warped logic to me. On one hand you can play kids, and you might, just might get relegated to the 1st division, and with the transfer embargo ending are clear to easily buy the league the following season leaving you back in the SPL and back as if nothing ever happened. To Rangers fans this seems like the most horrible idea ever, and one worth boycotting everything under the sun for. But then we have the other option, which they are quite happy to do which in the same timescale would leave them in the 2nd division when they could be in the SPL, with another two years in the wilderness before being back as if nothing happened. They should take the transfer embargo and run before anyone changes their mind at such a light punishment. Imagine the sort of wages on decent players they could afford if they were starting with almost a blank wage budget next season. It could end up the best thing that's ever happened to them, yet they're all too busy foaming at the mouth to realise. I actually believe it's not the punishment handed down that is the problem, it is the realisation that the SFA finally has the baws to punish them and they are no longer in their 2 team exclusive club. For decades Rangers fans prided themselves on telling anyone who would listen about how super big they were and how we were all so privileged to be in the same league as them. Without them the league was nothing and they would never be relegated or flung out because they were the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araminta Moonbeam QC Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 The Silence of the Succulent Lambs is still deafening. Possibly the biggest sports news story in Scotland since the Ibrox Disaster and the only people who seem to be doing any digging are Daly at BBC Scotland, Alex Thomson at Channel 4 and the RTC Blogger. What kind of grip does the Deathstar / David Murray have on Chick Faeces / Traynor / Spiers ? Even supposed 'good guys' like Richard Gordon MUST have known what was going on. They all talk to each other. Even now not one of them dares to break rank. Or am I just being uber conspiracy theoretical ? Looking forward to this documentary on Weds. This has been suggested v heavily on RTC and here. Would love it if Traynor and Chic got taken down in the great implosion yet to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 whatever you do DO NOT google "gay bears" in the hope of finding a humorous image of a camp bear ive seen things things that cannot be unseen I love the folk on twitter/RM who come out with the "This is so unfair, this wouldn't happen to any other club!". I'm still waiting on a response to four or five who I've pointed out the situations of Gretna, Livingston and Dundee. Dundee are a case in point, they were banned from handling registrations for an eternity, Rangers fans are truly clueless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never had to bother learning about any other clubs as they were constantly reassured by the media and the voices in their heads that they were 'ra Peepul'. Oh, and the fact that most of them can't really read properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Documental Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Anyone heard from Chick Young the day, or is he curled up in bed with some old VHS tapes of the "Nine in a Row" days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Rangers fans are truly clueless. They're just very, very thick I tell you. Thick and infantile. They're having a collective tantrum because they're not getting their own way. It really is that simple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huckleberry Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Duffman will have to pay because even if wee Greenny takes over it isnt until the 6th And if Green pulls out of the deal and walks away will d&p still pay up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't too horrific for us as we could fill the gaps with trialists for the 3 or 4 months the ban was in place. I could be wrong, but i think they can't use trialists in the SPL, unlike the SFL. It would be highly amusing if even that avenue was closed to the ***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in thinking the doc mainly focusses on the sale from Minty to Whyte or does it do the Minty years +EBTs? any idea? I didn't think it could do EBTs as the call is still oot so would be subjudicy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 This has been suggested v heavily on RTC and here. Would love it if Traynor and Chic got taken down in the great implosion yet to come. For example, BBC Scotland's incestuous relationship with Gordon Smith tells you everything. He knows where all the bodies are. If only we could have a Leveson-style inquiry to blow the lid off this can of worms....f*ck, I'd pay to see that smug b*****d Murray being hauled over the coals.

Heidthebaw Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) That is truly staggering! And what's more, 3 people have "liked" the comment!!! She's a witch in a coven (govan) of one, maybe she kissed a frog and became a ***? I'll be appearing all week folks!

Claymores Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 And if Green pulls out of the deal and walks away will d&p still pay up? Green Allegedly has an "irrevocable " contract to buy one way or another. But I'm thinking he can walk away and say to Haudit&Daudit "OK chase me" as the mighty Ranjurs would be deid before they could. Any views on this folks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huckleberry Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 i believe they are duty bound they get the money back when they are playing the role of the provvy man at the end That means that they join the growing list of creditors and the debt goes up. Surely there must be a point when someone has to stand up and say this has got to stop now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
