Savage Henry Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Oh ye gods. I've not been on since Saturday, and I've got a busy day....I've summarised for people before, could somebody please sum up the last 24 hours or so please? Any good articles or particular posts worth reading? Any real news? Thanks! Jim Traynor's genuinely schizophrenic attitude to the whole shebang took a new turn. He went off on a Leggo rant. We're All Gonnae Die Whilst Hugh Keevins wept. And in the same paper, George Adams makes a subtle hint to Rangers. Don't Buy Your Dinner at Marks and Sparks If You Can't Afford It Essentially, the Sports Editor has no sense of irony. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm still waiting for Traynor et al. to provide a single shred of evidence that Scottish Football will cease to exist without Rangers in the SPL or SFL 1. Succulent lamb journalism at it's most desperate. His columns are a wee bit like the bible; you have to suspend reality and just believe it's true. For the sake of clarity I am not suggesting Traynor is a diety. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyarabnuts Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I personally thought that Traynor knocked one out at the end of his lunch hour ......hopefully one of his last..... Anyway, where is Chico at the moment? Cheers PA He's still stuck on that train 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Northerner Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 For the sake of clarity I am not suggesting Traynor is a diety. He doesn't look like he's losing weight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paralysis Through Analysis Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Traynor (go on, admit you don't read this thread), it's not about Rangers being "kicked out", more a case if the new company wishes to begin playing football then they are entirely free to apply to any league they wish. We have heard in the past decade they have been looking to leave SPL anyway. SPL have their vote scheduled for Wednesday, let's see how many vote yes. Failing that, they can apply to join the SFL although how a new club could immediately be parachuted into Division 1 I have no idea. But then again I'm just a genuine fitba fan supporting my local team so what do I know? How about John "Bombastic" Brown being made Chief Executive of SPL? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mushroom Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Saw copy of the record today... Keevins and Traynor are absolute morons. They don't seem to understand where the resentment towards Rangers has come from. They, along with Celtic have made Scottish football uncompetitive, dull and manipulated the rules and distribution of money for their own benefit, and in the case of Rangers, then failed to stick to the rules they coudln't manipulate. All this while being bigoted and violent. Can they not see why the diddy team fans would like to have a go without them ruining it for everyone? Also worth having a look at the Rangers fans on the hotline section - utterly crazy human beings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's one less potential yes vote I'm quite happy. I'm sure it was being suggested that even if it only requires a simple majority for a yes vote it would still be 15+1, so in effect any abstention is a no vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gy diamond Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Anyone else read that as "we want to vote 'yes' to newco but we don't want to be slaughtered by the fans when everyone else votes no"? To be fair to Jim he never voted in the Livi situation either due to there being a conflict of interests then as well. I thought he would of came out and backed the NewCo since everyone knows he was a big supporter of the OldCo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el Gringo Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I don't see how he could do anything else. Airdrie's position next season is directly affected by the outcome of the vote, and Ballantyne is a representative of both the SFA and the SFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Anyone else read that as "we want to vote 'yes' to newco but we don't want to be slaughtered by the fans when everyone else votes no"? He was probaby involved, if not directly, with the drawing up of the proposal. I thought he would have to withdraw his vote, along with Donald Findlay at Cowdenbeath as he's currently representing a consortium trying to buy the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as old Gers get papped out the SPL, Airdrie should be an SFL1 club and the only thing they should be voting for is whether to admit Sevco Scotland into SFL3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, fair dos. I think that's enough of ammo if anyone wants to have a go at them later on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
