strichener Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Official statement from qos. The BOD have brought shame to my club Worse than that they are showing no shame and providing no reason. Interesting that they are stating that last year they made a profit (the indications are therefore that the financial was not the main reason) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Been out, got about 100 pages of posts too read back on. Briefly: Well done to the 25 clubs that voted no to div one Shame on the five that didn't. Get it right up every twat that has tried to bully, cajole, persuade, twist, force and Armageddon the clubs into voting them into the first division - from Cockwomble and Regan to twats like Traynor. Sadly it seems this isn't over and we're now going to see some attempts to force SPL 2 on us, with the succulent lamb brigade no doubt cheerleading it the whole way. I keep hearing from people that Cockwomble isn't to blame as he is only acting on the instructions of the clubs - so whose instructions is Regan acting on? If any of the 25 clubs that voted no decide to join SPL 2 are a disgrace. I will also be ashamed and embarrassed if my club is involved in creating it in anyway. I have been impressed by those who have said they won't be back if various things go through because it's something I could not do and didn't even consider. However I will be giving it serious thought if we vote for an SPL 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbionMan Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 10-1-1 again then. My favourite formation. Come on, be serious. -25 points? BTW (players in Twitter meltdown) Rhys Weston is a FORMER Dundee player, now playing in Iceland. Can't happen even if true, the 1 for no longer has a vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Are you saying the massive 10pt deduction wasn't the ultimate punishment? I know. Sevco cannot and have not been punished. They have done no wrong. In fact they have been rewarded with admission to the SFL 3rd with no team, or team name for that matter, no accounts, no history etc, etc. and possibly to the detriment of Spartans, Cove. Old rangers were punished by a 10 point deduction. In effect, that was ALL they got. How many times does this have to be repeated? Really? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambos Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Just read this: "Rangers has been handed the ultimate punishment of starting again from the bottom of the leagues, but there is an overwhelming feeling among fans and within the club of 'wiping the slate clean' as a club free of sanctions." Charles Green The ULTIMATE punishment???? What a fucking moron! This is NOT a punishment! And even if it was, the ULTIMATE punishment would have been NO entry to any of the divisions. Why don't these imbeciles of that organisation of hate get this? Edited July 13, 2012 by Jambos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazza1910 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Boylesports bint on Sky has Celtic at 1-33 for the title. Had to laugh. Rangers evens to get back to the SPL in three years (don't know if that covers a plot to vote them back in on Monday!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehoss Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 This all seems just too easy to me, I can smell something cooking that is going to make this landmark day fade into insignificance somehow. Can it be this easy when the top brass have been actively coercing teams into voting against exactly what was voted for!?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 The reason they did is because our board of directors contains a widely known and publicised rangers fan. A couple of funny handshakes at Hamden this afternoon c***s, I'm fucking disgusted at the club.

Team Bible Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Truly ashamed, embarassed, and fookin raging doesn't even begin to cover it. QOS Board statement From the Board of Directors ... Today QOS attended the SFL meeting in Glasgow to vote on Rangers Newco being allowed into Scottish League Division 1. As I am sure you are now aware the vote was 25 against and 5 for, therefore Rangers Newco will enter Scottish League Division 3. The board of QOS considered all options open to them but always ensuring that the best interests of the club and Scottish football in general would be best served. Before casting our vote we listened to final positions from SFA and Rangers Newco and decided that it was in the best interests of all to vote in favour of Rangers Newco entering Scottish League Division 1, which also included the “heads of terms” for the re structure of Scottish football. Further information about the reasoning behind this decision will be given in due course. This was not a decision taken lightly by the board and one which they felt best protected their shareholders and the club. As you will see in the soon to be published accounts, we for the first time in a number of years will show a profit which is a fantastic turnaround from where we were. We could have taken the view to vote no and just followed others but we voted with the clubs interests at heart. Now the decision is in favour of not allowing Rangers Newco into Scottish League Division 1 we will support the democratic decision of the other member clubs. We await a response from the SFA to today’s decision. Board of Directors QOS We think we know our tanners, but have just lost our manners............ Just truly gutted. Can't believe Davy Rae would say the things attributed to him. Total disgrace. Count me out. Gutted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Somebody turn out the lights when they leave................no idea of social implications,no idea of economic implications,no idea of whats just occurred today. Lots of back slapping and well dones to each other in amongst the usual low rent diatribe and social bile. "We have the power...." no you don`t. Watch this space as the dominos start to tumble....... Finance from the SKY deal first followed by the trickle of other meaningful investment that all the champions of sporting integrity rely on every year to balance the books. Please don`t run out the old argument about "we had football before we had SKY/television rights and we can have it again" The fact is that the clubs then weren`t run on such a reckless manner and the overheads relative to income were always managed responsibly. Clubs now frequently live beyond their means, Rangers/Sevco/Orcs or whatever witless title that they have today are case in point. The Scottish game at grass roots will be the first to suffer from the number of clubs that wind down their already fragile youth policies because of reductions in revenue. It`s the first place that cuts get made when times get hard. We are now officially on the road to becoming a footballing backwater.Well done everybody,let the self congratulation begin............ On the plus side with the number of "never going back" posters on here I`m sure the local high streets will all be looking forward to receiving your hard earned cash at the end of every week.... kerrrching!!!!!!!! Chick? Is that you, Chick, buddy()? I can EXCLUSIVELY REVEAL we've all been missing you, wee man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyderspaceman Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 St. Mirren have never been below the second tier of Scottish football. Rangers are in the fourth tier. As for the players twitter - fucking embarrassing. No they're not! It's not rangerz! It's not rangerz! We can't have it both ways.

Hayseed Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I have been a long time lurker and have read this thread since the start. It truly is a wonderful thing. Probably like loads of others it has become an essential part of daily life. I have waited until its been confirmed that Sevco must start in Div 3 before my first post. Fantastic stuff and the right decision has been made. Now I have dome my first post looking forward to chipping into the debate much more often. Welcome Seagull, don't think that we didn't see you lurking there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
