Johnstoun Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Can anyone confirm if Sevco will be playing in the Southampton tournament or not? Can anyone confirm if TheScarf is too lazy to read the last half dozen pages? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnstoun Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Twitter from the Greenock Telegraph - Dougie Rae has stated Newco must start in the 3rd division. Pleasing. He just needs to add 'if they meet the entry requirements which would be expected of any other club'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Indeed. And part of the problem is that Green seems to have tried to unilaterally transfer all of the contracts on 14th June, so I'd imagine there are no remaining ties to the oldco there. I'd be amazed if Goian or Wallace ever play for Rangers again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claymores Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Just been asked my opinion on the situation by a Sevco-supporting client. I tried to make it as simple as possible, and said "They owe a lot of people a lot of money, and if they're not going to pay it they shouldn't be allowed to continue in any form". I was informed. "You're a bigot. It's a different form of bigotry, but you're all disgusting bigots". LOL - I'm surprised he didn't just term you a tarrier which seems to be the generic term for anyone who isn't a 'Rangers man'. I enjoyed an exchange of comments on that site "Rangers Rumours" last night...............a Cevco FC fanboy was greetin' that he'd forked out £200 on flights to Southampton which was non-refundable so he'd never see his money again. The best response was: "Now you've got a small flavour of how Rangers creditors feel" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legendary Am i being pernickity here..... I wouldn't support it over an application from a club which meets all the criteria set out in the SFL guidelines. The only thing that should be guaranteed to Sevco is that they will be given the application form. Otherwise, the statements coming from Starks Park are making me a very proud man!

ankles Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 As for Rangers tops. I have to be careful at work, a retail outfit, when I see them. The temptation to rip the pish would get me in bother. One of best things in dealing with our customers at work is that i dont have to bother with all the PC nonsense when talking to them so i can rip the pish out of anyone i want. I can't wait to talk to lorry drivers with Rangers stuff all over them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigotry is the state of mind of a "bigot", a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one who exhibits intolerance or animosity toward members of a group.[1] Bigotry may be based on real or perceived characteristics, including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, nationality, region, language, religious or spiritual belief, personal habits, political alignment, age, economic status or disability. Bigotry is sometimes developed into an ideology or world view. Yep, you're a bigot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
