Caledonian Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Any fixtures lined up for the Govan Prodtrotters? Serious question this. What kind of team, if any, do they contemplate having in the Southampton tournament? It is only a matter of weeks away. Playing Arsenal is hard enough at the best of times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archie guevara Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Jackie Mac said on saturday's Off the Ball that he doesn't think rankers 2.0 should be allowed into the first division. I know that's a view held by other senior people at Firhill, but it's up to the board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danlichtie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I thought the debt died with the old company, no? I would imagine that would depend on what Charlie Green purchased. If he is expecting to get the funds from Everton for Jelavic then I would imagine he would have to honour other financial agreements with other clubs. Green is about as shrewd as businessman as Herod was a good babysitter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only a matter of weeks away. Playing Arsenal is hard enough at the best of times. If Haudit and Daudit had come in on Feb 14, looked at it for a week, then hauled fat Sally into the office to tell him Players A,B,C,D, E,F,G,H, and I were being pumped to slash costs at a club needing to save one million per month.... we'd be sitting here with a better idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 That Paul Hughes piece could have been lifted straight from this forum. Who is Paul Hughes, never heard of him personally. What was needed a few weeks ago was for some of our so-called "heavy hitter" journos to write pieces espousing similar thoughts but they were all posted missing, either too scared or still struggling to get the metaphorical H*n cock out of their mouths. Now it may be too late for most journos because The Internet Bampots have, to a greater extent, captured the moral high ground. For the moment at least, it is the diddies who have the loudest voice and the most clout. Run of the mill journos, especially of the Succulent persuasion, are read mostly for fun IMHO. For a laugh. We read them online (who'd pay money to read that doggerel ?) to see who has invented the most ridiculous, unbelievable tripe on any given day. Leggo, Traynor, Young (is he really MIA ?), Jackson etc. are completely irrelevant now. They and their editors stuck all their money on a nag that's just been carted off to the glue factory. They are now stumbling around trying to make some sense of the new world order that is threatening to envelope Scottish football. If the SFL chairmen follow their SPL counterparts, this WILL come to pass. The Succulents and the apologists, the quislings and the lickspittles, they are now engaged in an internicine war of blame. Now that the source of their past puff-piece 'exclusives' has left The Big Hoose and their wee cabal of acolytes within the SFA are too afraid to make any utterance, it is all finger pointing and "a big boy did it and ran away". We've got quite a way to go yet. The fact that Young is in hiding and rumoured to be getting his jotters from the BBC, Traynor is desperately trying to change horses in mid-stream and the rest just can't seem to find the door that will lead them to the exit, tells us that they know the game is up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckinho Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Now that Raith have publicly said "No to Newco" in the first - is anyone keeping a tally of the SFL clubs? No. Spartans From my dodgy understanding of the "reputable" newspaper tha the Daily Record is, Rangers wont get the votes to stay in the SPL. Therefore the SPL wont protect the Newco and put them straight back in. Can there therefore be any alternative to sending them straight back to Division 3 if the SFL is happy to elect them in?

archie guevara Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Anyone up for dressing as a priest, going to Ibrox and giving them the last rites for youtube? Maybe it's time to start piling up the floral tributes at the gates? Not close enough to do it, but if I was passing I'd stump up for a petrol station bouquet just for the lols. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wokcomble Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 For those who haven't seen this... Raith say "f**k off Newco" GOOD ON YA RAITH, SUPERB NEWS Greenock Morton Supporters Trust 'newco' meeting this Thursday. Hopefully club chairman will be in attendance. From comments on Morton messageboard, and early poll, seems there will be overwhelming No to 'newco' in 1st divison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 You`re all deluded.... I never realised that Scotland had so many legal experts and tax experts all playing on the same forum and don`t even get me started on the subject of "sporting integrity" experts. How do you measure sporting integrity by the way? Judging by the way that the people charged with the responsibility of looking after the interests of their own clubs (ie Chairmen, Boards of Directors )and also tasked with the responsibility of running their own league, ie member clubs of the SPL, have been and are still currently behaving, then its absolutely no surprise that the Scottish game is in the state that it is. Greed, delusion,fear, self-interest, procrastination are just some of the character traits that are currently being portrayed by the afore-mentioned office bearers for each of the respective clubs. They are to busy trying to be seen to be pleasing the "rent-a-mob fan base" that have suddenly surfaced waving the sporting integrity banner in one hand and their club colours in the other hand. To pass a decision of this magnitude over to the afore mentioned rent-a-mob fans is nothing short of ridiculous (it`s also a breach of their fiduciary duties as a Company Director) It would appear that not one of them has had the courage to actually say "NO COMMENT " when being asked which way their club will vote on July 04th whilst at the same time actually then looking at all the COMMERCIAL implications of rejecting an application for NEWCO to join the SPL. By pandering to the rent-a-mob they are collectively signing the death warrant of the game in Scotland and consigning the SPL to years in the doldrums. I`ll guarantee you that all the so called "supporters" who have been on the forums, newspapers, radio etc over this saga will be the very same ones who will be on the same media vehicles a year from now complaining about the state of Scottish football and how poorly regarded we are by the rest of the world,we need league re-construction,oh woe is me, etc..................... do these so called office bearers currently charged with making these decisions today really think that all the rent-a-mob fans are going to be digging deep into their pockets and turning out in the middle of winter when moneys tight, Xmas is coming and the weathers crap because Dundee/Dunfermline/Club 12 are coming calling. The rent-a-mob fans will be out shopping with their wives,sitting at home on their key boards typing crap about something else,sitting watching the darts on TV.......the only thing they won`t be doing is out supporting their clubs. It will be a similar story in the last quarter of the season as well because 99% of them will have ZERO to play for. So by the end of the coming season each of the clubs (the ones that survive,because Administration is a heart beat away for at least 2 of them) will then see the real effects of the decision made this season. Budgets and revenues will be slashed to levels that will then finish the job of consigning the SPL to a level that it will never recover from. This decision will send ripples through the Scottish game right down to grass roots level so the SFL, Junior and Amateur leagues are all going to feel the effects of this decison for years to come. Before the brain surgeons,doctors,protectors of sporting integrity,rent-a-mob start beating their key boards to death with their sarcastic, un-witty responses finished with just the right measure of bile, I`d like to point out that at no point have I condoned ANY of the actions of Rangers or the previous administration at the club. They will have to deal with the ramifications of their actions for years to come.In the fullness of time the criminal investigation will hopefully lead to the right people being called to account at all levels. You should all be honest and admit that none of the current out pouring is being done in the name of "sporting integrity" or because you think that your club has been hard done to at some point by Rangers. You are being carried along with the mob mentality which says more about our current society than anything else has ever done in the last 50 years. I was fortunate enough to have played professional football at a decent level and I know what goes on behind the scenes of clubs up and down the country and some of it isn`t pretty nor legal. If you are all really hell bent on "sporting integrity" then you should now be lobbying the powers that be (SFA,SPL,SFL) to carry out an audit of ALL the member clubs on the same basis as the audit carried out on Rangers. " Without fear or favour " I believe was the phrase used by Stewart Regan and Neil Doncaster on several occassions. Mr Regan and Mr Doncasters respective panels would be snowed under with the "prima facae" evidence of financial mis-management,contractual irregularities and overall general bad management at every member club. What then???? I have good memories from football and I`ll share those memories with my son`s and let them watch the DVD`s of what the game used to be like in Scotland. I`ll encourage them to play football and enjoy it for what it is now but I`ll also enjoy taking them fishing,golfing and any other outdoor pursuits that catch my eye because football at a serious level in Scotland is now officially in decline after the keys to the asylum were handed over to the patients. Last one out please make sure you turn the lights off........... Team: Scotland. My Arse. That is all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread contains far more insight than pretty much any of the sports reporters, with an honourable few exceptions. If anyone was in doubt of the borderline illiteracy of many of our finest winos journos, a read of Jim Traynor's pieces should be enough to make anyone despondent. The number of morons who are banging on about demotion is startling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team playing them would be breaking FIFA rules and landing themselves in the shit. Do teams not often circumvent this by playing an XI e.g. it will be a Rangers XI playing in a Rangers strip rather than an official Rangers team? Like when pub teams get to play a big team's 'XI' and it's made up of old boys and youths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
