Scary Bear Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hopefully this will see relics like Traynor and especially chick "I will never use twitter" young consigned to the dusty storeroom where they belong. It is this attitude that has left them so off the mark throughout this story No!!! I was looking forward to seeing these parasites having to slum it at East Stirling v Rangers games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieRaider Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Welcome to P+B. Good first post ! However, you lost me at this part. A Killie fan with many friends ? Not a good idea to start with fiction. Post a photo of yourself, i will probably recognise your face 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG BEN Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 First Post here. As you can see from my user name i am a Killie fan, I have lurked on this thread a little bit, but felt the need to register. I have been a Killie fan for 30+ years, and have many friends who are Killie fans, i can honestly say that NOT ONE of them would vote YES to keeping Rangers in the SPL. Killie are getting tarred unjustly with the usual "**** without the bus fare jibes {funny how those turn into "**** without the bus fare" when Rangers are in town} simply because we have a bean counter as a chairman. I`m not even sure he has done his sums right. I for one won`t be back at Rugby Park, won`t pay the already inflated prices, buy food or a pint in the swanky hotel if he votes to keep that lot in our league. And there are a lot of people like me. Perhaps Mr Johnston should consider those numbers on a large scale over the course of a season. Rangers {and the flipside of the coin Celtic} have carved up the Scottish League between them for over a hundred years, those of you who are fans of the "smaller teams" know what i mean: -They have had the bulk of the money from every source and always wanted a bigger slice of the pie. -They sucked up young talent from around Scotland and let it rot in the reserves. -They tempted away promising players from other clubs in Scotland with salaries at 10x their present rate, and routinely paid under the market value for those players. Witness their strop at not being given David Goodwillie when Dundee United sought to get a fair market price for the player. -They siphoned off local fans away from the areas of other teams, whether based on ancient bigotry or engendered desires to bask in reflective glories. Most often Rugby Park is not even full for the visit of the Old Firm, their away support has diminished greatly, and all around are banners such as "Galston Loyal" or "Auchinleck Bears" and the like. -They attributed all the political power {see the ludicrous 10-2 veto power} for themselves by loading committees and the power structure. -They seduced the media with the ability to increase circulation and interest. Essentially RANGERS {and CELTIC} have broken the league through their own greed. Yet, despite all of these advantages Rangers felt the need to go even further and cheat the league and their rivals by the use of highly dubious accounting. They bought and paid players when they couldn`t afford them. They stole from us. I have no sympathy for them because they did this to themselves. If it was my club we would be left to die. They are not a special case, without the other teams there is no league. The vote should be a unanimous NO to newco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 When I heard the breaking news on the radio about 4pm that Aberdeen had joined ICT in saying no to newco, I started laughing out loud and briefly burst into song. Happy, happy, happy days! I think it was "ding, dong the wicked witch is dead"...f**k knows where that came from. The right, and only proper course of action, should be to ask them to re-apply to the SFL for entry into SFL3, along with any other interested parties. I'm not daft enough to think that's the end of them, even Clydebank reformed and they didn't have the thousands upon thousands of fans Rangers have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 No!!! I was looking forward to seeing these parasites having to slum it at East Stirling v Rangers games. Firstly, who is this organisation you speak of called "Rangers" ? Secondly, and seriously, is it likely that we'll ever see these two hagfish reporting from football grounds ? The abuse they'd be subjected to would be immense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodjesSixteenIncher Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 RangersMedia thread. Dear Steven Naismith,I read with increasing agitation and anger your statement about your objection to transfer to the “newco” Rangers under a TUPE transfer. However, before moving on to that statement, I would like to start by making one thing clear –I have absolutely no issue with you leaving the football club. Indeed, I believe that should you and other high earners stay, the protection to your salary afforded under the TUPE legislation may well kill my football club. Added to that fact, your very generous agreement to accept a wage reduction last season kept alive hopes of exiting administration via a CVA route. I thank you and your colleagues for that sacrifice. However, I cannot countenance (that means “understand” Steven) why you came out and said the things you did in your statement. You stated that you believe you owe “no loyalty” to the “newco” because it “has no history”. Notwithstanding the damage that this kind of “no history” statement inflicts on the club and fans, your assertion about loyalty is astounding and baffling to say the least. Perhaps you can enlighten me on a few issues and perhaps you can explain to me how you feel about the following situations: 1 –In times gone you may have walked out of your large house into one of the many luxury cars that was paid for by Rangers Football Club, drove to Murray Park, ate your staff meals prepared by the kitchen staff and wore your freshly cleaned and pressed training kit. Let me ask you this - did you thank the corporate body that paid your wages, or paid the wages of the staff who pampered you? No. You praised yourself for the hard work you put in at Kilmarnock, the Rangers manager who signed you and the individual staff involved for looking after you so well. You may well have paused and and thanked the institution that is Rangers Football Club for the privileged position you held –but I’ll bet £1000 of my money against £10 of yours that you didn’t pause and thank the corporate body who owned Rangers 2 –You have previously had 2 lengthy spells on the sidelines with injury in your time at Rangers. I would imagine you were grateful for the contract which saw you receive full pay as well as unparalleled access to medical specialists and physio to speed up your return. I imagine it took great mental fortitude (strength, Steven) on your part to come through that. Again though, let me ask you this –did you thank the corporate body who paid your wages on time, or who paid for access to that unparalleled medical support? No, of course not. You would have thanked your agent for negotiating the contract and accepted that it was part and parcel of the standard of treatment you receive as a player of Rangers Football Club. Who provides that excellence Steven –is it a corporate body, or is it the staff involved and the culture of success ingrained in an institution over 140 years? You know the answer. 3 –And on to your teammates and manager Steven. During the wins, the losses, the titles, the heartbreak and the European adventures –did you win and lose as a team with your teammates and manager? Of course you did. Did the corporate body that oversaw all of those achievements, mishaps and adventures cross your mind then Steven? No, it did not. 4 –The fans Steven. Did we die with the old corporate body? Did we pass away when Sevco transferred all of the Rangers history, memories, staff, stadium, training ground into a new corporate body? Did the fans who worshipped you suddenly become obsolete, a thing of the past, something that no longer exists? No we did not. With all of that in mind, I find myself wanting to ask you the following question: Why is the name of the corporate body owning Rangers Football Club suddenly such an issue to you? The answer is very, very obvious. It was never an issue for you before. Quite simply, it no longer suits your footballing ambition to be employed by a football club who may be playing outwith the SPL and Europe for the next 3 seasons. I actually understand that rationale and wish you had said that, and only that. Leave, by all means –there’s the door. We will carry on without you. The thing is Steven; I’ve proven to you that the great institution that was Rangers Football Club is the same today as it was yesterday. Insulting our intelligence by claiming otherwise, just to suit your own selfish agenda, was the worst possible way to say goodbye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Oh God. I just got a thought.....if both Dundee and Dunfermline decided that 5 weeks isn't enough to have an SPL squad together and elect to stay in SFL 1. There's no place in Scottish football for SevCo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
