GlasgowCeltic.org Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Argh, how can these cheating b*****ds be playing football today?!?! They should be gone. What a total farce. Ogilvie and Ballantyne, plain and simple. They're allowing an unregistered club to play using unregistered players. There is no rule they won't break to carry on pretending that Rangers FC (IA) didn't go bust. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastspider Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 boxes ticked. do these so called experts actually write these articles, or are they the result of a conversation with a journo who then writes the article based on their ramblings im sure i have seen in the print editions in the past a wee line at the bottom of an article...as told to ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Out of all the articles I have read, that Davie Provan article is one of the worst. Still think Mark Hateley tops the lot http://blogs.dailyre...ys-greener.html Edited July 29, 2012 by Enrico Annoni 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Why do papers pay bampots like Provan for their ill informed bullshit? I'm confident that I could pick at least ten 'Internet Bolsheviks' from P&B alone who could write better balanced and more accurate views on football's current affairs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnesTON Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 After the performance of Andy Camoron in OTB yesterday with the 'I'm only a football supporter defence' can I ask other supporters of whichever team you support if your club was accused of a crime that threatened its existence as you knew it , would you not try and understand the issues ? Would you not view every shred of material to get an informed opinion. I haven't met a former Rangers supporter who admits to viewing any of the expose into the financial dealings of their club. Not that I believe them but they have chosen the ostrich defence. McCoist is all too typical he knows the situation yet despite being involved in the everyday running of the club is trying to portray a level of ignorance that would question whether he is capable of a successful resurgence. If Big Jock Knew would the counter argument not also be that ALLY KNOWS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you not view every shred of material to get an informed opinion. Of course we'd have to find out the all information for ourselves anyhoo given that if any of our clubs had gone to the wall it would only have merited a two paragraph 'other news' entry in the Daily Record. Old Firm fans buy a paper safe in the knowledge that there will be more in it about ex-Old Firm players plying their trade in England or even f'kin Australia than there will be of current SFL ones - they are used to being spoon fed information about their club and are therefore programmed to lap up all the shite that's been printed in the last 6 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident that I could pick at least ten 'Internet Bolsheviks' from P&B alone who could write better balanced and more accurate views on football's current affairs. The answer of course is that these papers have absolutely no interest in providing balanced, accurate coverage. They have an interest in selling copies. Red-tops are not intended for the more educated types and OF fans tend not be very smart. It all makes perfect sense really - it's just a bit dispiriting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leepylee Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Bet they get "drawn" together in both cups - assuming newco fc are still in them when the big boys enter. Glasgow cup resurrection anyone ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuoAnLai Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Quite right. We should be referring to the New New Firm. Queens Park and Sevco. Colluding to rig SFL3, just because they've both got lots of seats to fill. Feckers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To which we should add, that they also have an interest in trying to (or thinking they can) influence or mis-represent opinion... Daily Record's frequent proclamations about what "must", "will", or "needs to be" done being obvious examples, also their frequent hook-line-n-sinker acceptance of dubious "facts" from Doncaster etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Brilliant Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Not for the first time: Can we please stop giving the DR the oxygen of publicity. There is a wealth of alternatives out there. We've all worked out what it is, what it does, and for whom - now let's leave it to its self-destroying spiral into ever more putrefying, bigot-sating, bilge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what's causing me to involuntarily twitch when I hear phrases like "already punished enough". If it had been Aberdeen that were in the same shoes as RFC (IA) then there would be a few marked differences. Number one is that the whole thing would have been done and dusted months ago, Aberdeen would have been liquidated, renamed, had all assets sold and would be piecing together local talent to play on the beach with a hopeful view to turning professional in about 5 years time. There would be little or no talk of revenge against those who had stuck the knife in. We would not have been the subject of discussions in parliament or articles in the Wall St Journal. The other truth would be that every other Dons' supporter I know would have quickly gone through the Kubler-Ross model and arrived at acceptance in order to move on. There would be lots of hand-wringing and some finger-pointing but most would realise that if it had come to such a disastrous state of affairs then we were all complicit to a degree. We would see it as a failure on our part to have let villains gain such autonomy that they could sink our history. Rangers (newco, oldco, sevco, whatever) are locked in denial and this has been fuelled by their "leaders" like McCoist with his deliberate sabre-rattling. It speaks volumes for the emotional intelligence of the average RFC (IA) fan that they swallow this shite and haven't turned their ire against the likes of McCoist who was obviously more than aware of the perilous position they were in and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO STOP IT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given most clubs have, infact, publically declared how they voted, the last line seems the closest we'll get to an admittance that Falkirk (as deduction had already concluded) were 1 of the 5 Quislings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's clearly exactly what it means. I honestly don't know what's worse - cowardice of the Falkirk type, or the absolute brainlessness evident in the statement the Queens board issued. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
