bunglebonce Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 For all those Orcs among us, this is what pre-season training should look like........................ Sid looks a hell of a lot like Di Caprio in Inception, there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Surely the newco cant play anybody? They're not a member of the SFA and havent even applied for membership yet. Any team playing them would be breaking FIFA rules and landing themselves in the shit. To be honest, I have no idea. I'd be surprised if Rangers 2 are able to enter that tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 To be honest, I have no idea. I'd be surprised if Rangers 2 are able to enter that tournament. Yes, in serious terms, surely there would be insurance issues, not least for the opposition playing v unregistered players? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlichtie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Just had a quick check and the Catalan XI national side have played matches against proper FIFA/UEFA nations recently - I reckon this card could get played and 'The Rangers XI' turn out in this tournament. Having said that, with two players signed up it would be interesting to see! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusan Vrto Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Have we all seen this? Its a great laugh. Roddy has sensed that things might not be too braw down Ibrox way, but don't worry folks - he's got a cunning plan! You'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh Key paragraph if you're a bit pushed for time: 'According to a well-placed source, Green had budgeted for three possible outcomes; life in the SPL, life in the Third Division and also for a year spent as the footballing equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters should the Appellate Tribunal ban them from playing in Scotland.' Theme tune whistled by BROTHER Bones!!! Tarrier tune IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 In Leggo's latest piece, he seems to think that if or when fraud is uncovered, the clock will somehow be wound back and all will be as before. In cases where fraud has resulted in misery for thousands, the usual outcome is that these unfortunates have to accept it and carry on as best they can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I know that this thread is full of analogies but here is another one. The Rangers situation is a bit like a pub bouncer turning people away at the door. The attitude is 'we don't want your type in here'. So far they have been turned away from the SPL door and there is a strong threat that they are going to get rejected from the First Division door. The question is. What are the chances of them getting turned away from the Third Division? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SelkirkSaint Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 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. That would let a rangers XI play a pub team. Both unregistered. But dont think Arsenal, as an FA registered team, could send out their first team against an unregistered team. Arsenal would be breaking the rules. There may be 'special' circumstances when it can happen. Dont know, but again I think that would be something that would need to be applied for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drooper Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 A sensible piece from a journalist without the OF specs on (Paul Hughes) can be found here That's a very good piece. I can't say that I'd disagree with any of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnesTON Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 http://www.telegraph...lavic-debt.html There has been some uncertainty (but not in my mind) about whether Sevco is now The Rangers and is The Rangers the same as the old Rangers. Does the history carry over, do the debts and punishments carry over, etc, etc . Could this move by Rapid Vienna at least settle the matter as far as football officialdom is concerned? Surely the outcome will determine just who owes what to whom and who is considered to be who? Or is that too much to ask for? So if they sell Lee Wallace would Hearts also have a case ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Diamond Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Why is this thread still in the "SPL General Chatter" Forum, surely about time to have it removed, question is, where to put it, I suppose we could have a Forum of its own, - the Limbo Forum for example 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The third division is basically Fury Murrays. Rangers are like any of the G1/Social Animal group. Owned by an a8sehole, frequented by a8seholes, and think they are better than they actually are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 That's a very good piece. I can't say that I'd disagree with any of it. Year Zero.... a darned sight better than living in 1690 imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
