Social unrest. I don't think we've had that one.

The Thesaurus is taking a hammering recently.

That's an absolutely disgraceful staement to come out with for a man in his position.

Is he really suggesting that clubs should vote 'Yes' to division 1 just to prevent repercussions from 'rangers' fans ?

I despair.

Our good friends over on SevcoMedia seem to think Donald is backing them with that statement

http://forum.rangers...howtopic=230253

Well it clearly does to the extent that it suggests Sevco should be admitted to the Third Div. The statements of most Clubs say they should apply for entry in the established manner and be considered solely on the merits of the application as compared to any others.

Not sure general social issues are in regan's remit.

So he's concerned that 50,000 people won't have anything to do every other Saturday. I dunno, cut the grass, a spot of decorating...maybe a bit of volunteering?

WTF has that got to do with his decision? Fuckwit!

Maybe they could spend their giro's on something else.....soap maybe ?......New clothes other than rangers tops & tracksuits?......looking after their children perhaps ?

Just a few ideas.

General question............Cawk + Swallow cast the vote for newcorpse/oldcorpse today. When does that stop? When Liquidated or when share transferred?

Only asking after Cosgroves Valhalla idea, ie if the SFL don't put forward a candidate, there is no vacancy. Would the SPL absorb back the share at this point if it was an 11 team League?

Rangers newco: 'Big problem for Scottish society' if Rangers plunge to Third Division

Regan: 'There would be a slow lingering death for football in Scotland' (SNS)

Regan: 'There would be a slow lingering death for football in Scotland' (SNS)

SCOTTISH Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan has issued a startling warning of "social unrest" in Scotland if newco Rangers are denied entry to the First Division of the Scottish Football League following the emphatic rejection today of their application to retain top-flight football at Ibrox.

Regan's remarkable comment came as he insisted admission to the First Division is now the only viable option if Scottish football wishes to avoid what he described as a "slow, lingering death".

Regan bluntly asserted that Scottish football simply cannot afford to have Rangers outwith the top two tiers of the league structure, with his argument not confined to the commercial impact their absence would have.

"Without Rangers, there is social unrest and a big problem for Scottish society," claimed Regan. "They have a huge fan base and to contemplate the situation where those fans don't have a team to support, where those fans are effectively left without a game to follow, I just think that could lead to all sorts of issues, all sorts of problems for the game.

"Tribalism in football is really important. It is part of the game. People follow their clubs with pride, it is passed down from generation to generation. There are thousands of Rangers fans whose fathers and parents and grandfathers have been Rangers fans. You can't contemplate a situation without that and if Rangers weren't to exist that could have real dire consequences.

What are they going to do, invade manchester?

Presumably all those 'thousands of Rangers-supporting grandfathers' were all born after 1985, when they struggled to get 4,000 at Ibrox for some of their games. Though given the level of social degeneracy that marks an Old Firm fan, that wouldn't be too surprising.
