kildog Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Was that the company board speaking on behalf of the club or the club board speaking on things it has been doing its damnedest to be distanced from ?Exactly, this ruling had nothing to do with the club, or the new company. I really don't know why they're saying anything at all? It's all very confusing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRob72 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Scottish football has suffered enough? I assume they mean St Johnstone and ICT winning their first titles, attendances rising and a new sponsorship deal in place? You're joking right. Saints and Dundee crowds possibly up, the rest of the SPL all with worse average gates than 10 years ago, TV viewing figures for live games also hugely down. As for Sponsorship, Doncaster couldnt f*ckin buy a deal for two years until Ladbrokes stepped in with one of the smallest offers across European football for such an established league. The Rugby League deal in England is worth £25million a year MORE than our Premier competition alone. Consider the abject failure to qualify for another International tournament (that Wales & Norn Iron qualified for) and you get some picture of what a state our game is in. Hardly a cause for celebration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Fitlike Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 'It is our irrevocable belief that this Club’s history, including its many successes, is beyond debate' sorry Bearz - but right now it IS the debate. all trophies won during the EBT years should be forfeited. all those in favour say 'Aye' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mythstoliveby Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Seems to me that this statement really pushing the "it's old hat so let's move on" line. I wonder if that's the same defence that Rolf Harris tried..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you apologise on their behalf for us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythstoliveby Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 The campaigns upped a few gears I see , they'll keep on shouting until they get titles stripped. Don't be so sure bennett. Since the appeal court's decision the Daily Record's sports journos have published a series of articles arguing that the rangers should keep their titles. So, contrary to the mantra of you lot, you still do have your support within scottish media... The 'daily rebel'... Hahaha.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a cause for celebration. Hi Rob, quick question if I may? Are you saying the alleged decline in Scottish Football you allude to started roughly 10 years ago or are you marking the start as when Scotland last qualified for an international tournament? If so It does quite neatly fit into the period when your ex-club were cheating, rather than the 3 years since they died. Keen to know your thoughts.

Surely though any injustices would not be passed through by the football authorities just because they are pressured into it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
