dave.j Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Just read the statement. are they trying to perform a Jedi mind trick? "You will not punish us for cheating, there is nothing to see here. Its for the good of everyone that you move on and don't punish us for cheating." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedsailor Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 The SPFL meeting could not have went well for "Rangers" if they feel the need to stand over their tainted titles and growl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate scenes as they try to kid on that they are bigger than the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) THE SPFL Board has stated they held a conference call to be given a factual update on the Court of Session EBT ruling and so it would be remiss of the Rangers Board not to state the Club’s view. The first thing to be said is that Rangers has made it clear it wishes to reach out and work with all clubs to help revitalise Scottish football, which has also suffered in recent years. There is much to be done and Rangers wants to be part of the way forward. Our game has to become more attractive to potential sponsors and partners if the finance levels required are to be generated but this can only be done if we present a coherent and united strategy. Therefore, a line must be drawn now if we are all to prosper. It is our irrevocable belief that this Club’s history, including its many successes, is beyond debate. Rangers cannot countenance or accept any talk, attempts or actions designed to undermine what this Club has achieved throughout its long history. So, as far as this Club is concerned there is no need for further SPFL consideration of court judgements or appeals. They should be saying it is time for everyone to move on and work together for the greater good of the game. Scottish football has suffered enough. What a heap of p*sh. As soon as I saw 'factual' in the first line I knew it would be rubbish. In other words ' The titles are our history but the cheating isn't'.

williemillersmoustache Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 You just can't imagine any sane person typing that, let alone hitting send. Beyond parody and clearly shitting bricks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRob72 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 A countering appeal should ensure that this gets dragged through the corridors of law for a few more years at least. Plenty to keep you lads on here busy eh!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 So it's correct that Chris Graham is Rangers media person now. Only someone like Graham could have written such a statement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 The "irrevocable belief" bit is what epitomises the club, the previous club, and their acolytes. Basically, it's a KinCarCrash-esque way of saying, "we don't care what you lot think - this is how it is." Or, as Tedi and Vicky would say, "la la la, Mad Phil, diddies, la la la". We should be thankful, really. Sane people with a bit of self-awareness, contrition and intellect would have been nowhere near as much fun for the last few years. In a funny sort of a way, I'll miss them when there's nothing more than a SD warehouse on Edmiston Drive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Capsule Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Scottish football has suffered enough? I assume they mean St Johnstone and ICT winning their first titles, attendances rising and a new sponsorship deal in place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njord Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Was that the company board speaking on behalf of the club or the club board speaking on things it has been doing its damnedest to be distanced from ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
