FinnesTON Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The galling bit was the hypocrisy in not admitting Rangers to the SPL to avoid upsetting fans of the clubs there; but then putting SFL clubs under pressure to admit them in order to minimise any top flight pain. It was despicable. And they would have gotten away with it to, if it wasn't for those meddling Diddy Teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Cringe oh dear. I think it was better when there was ambiguity to MT's question. Aye well, we are not all sit-on-the-fence shite-breeks like you. There is not one thing objectionable about my post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramour Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I am perfectly happy to have a go at this. I am also perfectly happy to use The P Word. The traditions are those of prowess. We have always sought to be a successful team and have proven to be so over 143 years. As for, "standards of behaviour and values" one can't comment on that without being a coward and shirking the obvious link to our acquired Protestant association. I'm not sure when it happened? Maybe in the 1920s? What followed was a strong association between Rangers and Scottish Protestant values of hard work, honesty, diligence and duty. I haven't a single issue with that as long as we acknowledge that a. other groups could have similar values and b. we don't discriminate. So quick sum: "the traditions, standards of behaviour and values" of Rangers are wedded in our fortitude and our desire for the Reformation values of rectitude and honesty. Very honourable, but ultimately a meaningless exultation of a culture that never existed in the first place and has been resolutely forgotten since. If such a culture was so strong in the foundations of Rangers then other supporters would give some sort of credit for it; it is, however, little more than cringeworthy lip-service to somehow justify the more unsavoury behaviours of your wider support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 £2.6m loss for the 6 months to 31 December 2014. All that money not to win the Championship. And this: Newcastle Player Loans During the January 2015 transfer window, the Club loaned five players from Newcastle United. As part of those contracts, should the Club gain promotion in season 2014/15, either directly or via the play-off method, the Club will be liable to pay a total of £500,000 to Newcastle United Football Company Limited. As this liability is based on an uncertain future event, the Directors have not recognised this amount in these financial statements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Scottish football needs a strong sense of hard work, honesty, traditional values and a wee sprinkling of that establishment Protestant 'thing' IMHO. We've really, really, missed not having that around since the Sevco picked up the baton that was so sensationally dropped by Mike Ashley. No, sorry, Charles Green. Fcuk. I meant Craig Whyte. No, erm, was it Sir Minty, the big hoose guy, Shooders the Keyboard, Mr Custard the bluenose clown?..... Some daft cnut threw away all that tradition, honesty, hard-working value and 'Proddy thing'. Tragedy, an absolute tragedy. Puts my own club's current relegation woes into perspective. Edited March 31, 2015 by pozbaird 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithgierose Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Along with the SPFL being owed £250k then winning will cost them just over 400k ... cool business model. Big mike will lend them the balance.cant see DK doing so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
