[Henrik's tongue]

Aye ok HT let me stroke your ego, even though you dodged my question after as I was so kind as confirm what my true thoughts on FARE were

Celtic`s attendances in Europe this year have been excellent (as you would expect) along with their performances on the pitch

Their domestic attendances have been quite poor (as you should also admit) as has your been your teams domestic consistency

You see how easy I find this honesty stuff?

By the way, I really pity your wife, its all take and no give from you

Now please be as kind to give me a yes or no answer, do you agree with the statement released by ECA with regards to Rangers continuity of History taking into account that they like FARE are endorsed by FIFA and UEFA

No. No I don't.

Well that was fucking easy

[Shades75]

The underlying tone of your original post could also be seen as a slur, care to explain what you meant?

Certainly.

In what way does it nullify the original FARE investigation/enquiry if someone within that organisation is a Celtic fan, is married to a Celtic fan, has a relative who is a Celtic fan or happened to pass someone in the street who is a Celtic fan?

Is that all that ever matters?

Why did you feel the need to point that out?

[Henrik's tongue]

Every bit as guilty as the peepul, your application into the KDS loyal is sure to be approved

And you really drew that conclusion from my 2 posts?

You appear to visit KDS, Ted. I never have.

Is it any good?

[Shades75]

You did not mention Celtic supporters in your reply, try again

Ok - Celtic supporters too.

So can we focus on the point of your post now?

[Henrik's tongue]

No

You are still dodging from your original reply and totally justifying the slur on your character

You never called him a girl though

[Shades75]

No

You are still dodging from your original reply and totally justifying the slur on your character

That is utterly pathetic and I defy anyone to read the content of our exchange and deduce that you have completely deflected the point of what I, and you, were getting at.

You're retreating into Bennett mode here.

Pretty soon you'll be calling me a dick.

[Henrik's tongue]

Sorry, no apolgies HT, both you and Rico were acting like big girls

:angry:

Sorry. The painters are in

You are still dodging, you never mentioned Celtic supporters, you took a different path

The slur on your charachter was 100 % justified, I am glad I made it

Your posts get more cryptic by the minute.

You're not as thick as you make out Tedi, you know the points that have been raised and you also know that you've chosen to start a circular argument.

But that's cool. After all, this thread would've been closed a long time ago if we didn't have the likes of you to take most points way off topic into a sea of deflectionism, whataboutery and pedantry (see what I did there?).

Financial Times smell a (blue) rat

Free-ranging pay could foul Rangers’ IPO

By Kate Burgess

However triumphant on the field, soccer has rarely been a sporting investment. Yet Glasgow Rangers Football Club is floating on Aim this week. The shares are being served up at 70p each to loyal fans and professional investors.

This is the club that went into administration in February, having racked up debt and a tax bill of epic proportions, and was relegated to Scotland’s third division. It was just another case of a football company with poor financial controls paying players 10 times more in a week than most people earn in a year.

Research by insolvency specialists Begbies Traynor suggests 32 Scottish clubs are in financial distress.

Fans of Rangers’ IPO trot out that old million pound chestnut: it is different.

The fat has been cut out and what remains is pure protein. Rangers’ die-hard supporters regularly turn up to fill the Ibrox stadium close to its 51,000 capacity.

There is no debt, the expensive players have gone, leaving a team still well able to beat its rivals. Imagine, say followers, what Rangers could earn in sales of tickets and football shirts when it takes its rightful place in Scotland’s top league in a year or so.

At this point, the group’s backers become all misty-eyed and talk about cup wins, playing in Europe’s lucrative Champions League, selling TV rights for millions and juicy sponsorship deals.

Charles Green, Rangers’ far from dewy-eyed chief executive and a veteran of Sheffield United, reckons he can raise Rangers up without borrowing or overpaying for new talent.

He has promised to cap the payroll at a third of revenues.

That will be easy for the next year while Rangers is banned by the Scottish Football Association from transferring players.

However, it will be hard to hold the wage bill back once Rangers starts playing top-tier football where pay averages two-thirds of revenues.

Soccer’s governing bodies may be pushing for greater financial discipline and player fees may come down, but it will take time.

Mr Green can only be sure of keeping his promise if he makes more of Rangers’ brand and revenues soar.

Fans should brace themselves for a rise in ticket prices. The new merchandising deal signed with Sports Direct – whose owner, Mike Ashley, owns 8 per cent of Rangers – could really spice up revenues.

Brokers expect total sales to rise 45 per cent in two years to £46m, lifting the club out of loss into £12m in pre-tax profits by 2015, as long as costs are stable.

But all it needs is a couple of players paid £100,000 a week to derail those estimates.

And history is not on Mr Green’s side. It is notoriously hard to scramble into revenue-generating leagues without destroying profitability by overpaying players.

Rangers’ IPO has the characteristics of a turkey with a short sell-by date. It may look delicious on Christmas day but will not smell so good in a few months.

It's Tedi's

Sorry Benny.

[Henrik's tongue]

Not a bad article but seriously wtf is this

She obviously knows f**k all about the level of the Scottish Game

Celtic minded journalist imo.

[Henrik's tongue]

Not me, but hey you are welcome to ask the admins to check my IP range for other accounts

I know you are J.DAY though

Yep. Fishing is easy

Who is J.DAY though? Seriously.

[Bendarroch]

Finger on the pulse ...

You, very clearly, do not.

The woman who 'edited' Philthy's blog into a 'book' by carefully weaving 'around 40%' new material into it? So consumed by hate for Rangers that she happily flies her double standards high - and she does that to ridiculously embarrassing effect in that blog you posted. Didn't you think it through, Dhensebhore? That she happily took the shilling for editing a book for an IRA writer? Who's supporters you sit amongst at darkhead - silently I assume as you can't ever share your soldier bhoy secret with your sporting-wing chums, can you?

Will you applaud Stokes if he ever appears in those tawdry green-n-grey oops again?

Is she to be the new hero - the one who was so terrified that she hid herself away on a, eh..., tv show?

I think it's very important that we know of Powar's loyalties and standards - we have learned, for example, he'll happily slam into the Suarez affair, but apparently has no objections to using racist terminology himself.

And refusing to comment when caught doing so.

You mhob really are keen on those who fly their double standards high - aren't you.

[Bendarroch]

with you it is always the messenger and never the content/message.

Read it again, Dhensebhore, you'll find the 'message' was laughed at, too - and the hypocrisy of your offering could not be dismissed.

She helped the IRA writer - nae bother to darkheads silent soldier bhoy.

Your at least as two-faced as she is.

There's a rogue "h" in your post.

As a Hibs fan, from the east coast, I wonder what on earth it is you could be implying with it.

Everytime I see a post from yourself like this ( and that's about 99% of them) I picture you as Homer Simpson in that clip where he is trying to retrieve his beer which is hung over the power cables, repeating his attempts ad infinitum, getting a jolt each time. Give it up, min!

so you disagree with....

History is not just about the trophies won on the pitch, it’s about conducting business properly, fairly and within the rules. Rangers didn’t play the whole game and it will be another injustice if we allow ourselves to forget it.
