MK Col Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) 1343349410[/url]' post='6469985']Why would the SFA jeopardise their own standing in world football for something as trivial as the olympic games which is even more tainted than FiFA. The whole ethos of sport has been corrupted by commercialism . Football in the Olympics are a sideshow that has no more relevance than those of the tennis fraternity. Come on you only have to see the attitude of fellow football supporters around the country with the ticket uptake. Great Ryan Giggs finally gets to play a big game but if he was in his twenties I bet he wouldn't have been anywhere near the competition. Perhaps he may get know for something other than a super injunction before retiring. To be fair, the SFA's shambolic handling of the rangers issue has probably done more harm to their standing in world football than letting a couple of u21s play for Team GB.

P45 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Sevco have had long enough, they should be given till high noon to agree to the terms of their membership. If they dont then Brechin should be given a bye and applications for the SFL should be opened straight away. This. All the bending over backwards to help a bunch of cheats negotiate their way back in makes me want to puke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green should give Sally a good slappin' and sack him. The past "glories" brigade would F**k off at the same time and Green could get on with starting afresh, and put a stop to all this S**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 TV contract awaits SFA membership approval Published on 27 July 2012 Michael Grant CONTRACTS will be signed with Sky and ESPN to show 65 matches per season from the Scottish Premier League and Irn-Bru Third Division if Rangers newco's Scottish Football Association membership is approved later today. Sky will have the rights to 30 games, starting with Celtic versus Aberdeen at Parkhead next Saturday lunchtime, then Rangers newco's opening third division encounter at Peterhead on August 11. ESPN would have 35 live games and the first would be Dundee United versus Hibernian on Sunday, August 5. Herald Sport understands that a deal involving the SPL, Scottish Football League and the two broadcasters – and including rights for 15 of the newco's league games per season – will preserve most of the value of the existing £16m-a-season television agreement for the current campaign. That will spare top-flight clubs from the most severe repercussions some had feared from at least three years without the Ibrox club. The television deal is agreed in principle but cannot be signed until Sevco Scotland Ltd's application for the transfer of Rangers' SFA membership is approved. That needs to happen before the club can play its first match at Brechin City in the Ramsdens Cup on Sunday afternoon. In theory, approval could be given at any time up until kick-off, but practicalities and exchanges of documents essentially mean it has to be done today. But all five parties – Sevco Scotland, the oldco Rangers, the SFA, SPL and SFL – were understood to believe the discussions were almost there last night and that there will be a satisfactory conclusion, and the signing of contracts, later today. Representatives from Charles Green's newco regime held further negotiations with Neil Doncaster, the SPL chief executive, yesterday. A major obstacle has been the SPL's view that accepting any potential punishment from its ongoing investigation into undisclosed payments to players via Employment Benefit Trusts – alleged to have happened over several years of the oldco Rangers – should be accepted by Sevco as a condition of membership. Manager Ally McCoist and some others at Ibrox have vigorously opposed any acceptance that the club could be stripped of league titles if a guilty verdict is returned. BBC Alba will have live coverage of Rangers' tie at Brechin and yesterday the channel was continuing to plan as though the match would go ahead. As for the longer-term deal involving Sky and ESPN, the companies will discuss how the SPL and third division coverage is shared in the weeks and months ahead. "It will be up to the broadcasters to decide how the games are carved up," said a source at one SPL club. B...but, we were promised Armageddon! What about the £3m deal that was the most we could expect. I refuse to believe this broadsheet pish until I see it confirmed in the Red Tops 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It does their head in trying to work out who all the infil-traitors are. They have spies on here who report back to head-banger office telling them about everything we post. I was public enemy No 1 last weekend but they still don't know if I have an account or not. I would call it mind-games but how is that possible when you're dealing with empty skulls? Like yourself, it has been fun the last few weeks coming up with the sort of moronic ideas they feed off. But by god they lap it up. Now at +30 and just waiting for the right time to do the 'Hiroshima' moment...........Or am I? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyg Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If they dont then Brechin should be given a bye Brechin don't want a bye , they basically couldn't give a monkey's about this tourney ! An 8-0 defeat with the accompanying dosh will be acceptable though ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTG Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 In terms of where the wall to wall tv coverage is directed, this is a good day to bury bad news. Any news will be bad (or good) depending on your preferred outcome but in the case of Regan and Donkey it is a very good day given that whatever happens many people will be beelin. I suppose killing off Rangers while they are watching the build up to the opening ceremony will reduce levels of social unrest ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been working hard for donkeys years to see a big stadium in London torched at midnight, they won't want to see a big stadium in Glasgow torched before then.
