Monkey Tennis Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) It was absolutely in their power to keep Rangers in the top flight. They chose not to. Your whole argument begins and ends there I am afraid.How so? Surely the decision rested with the SPL. The clubs there chose not to admit the Newco. Who could have overridden that and how? Perhaps such a mechanism did exist, but imposing it on the clubs would have required brutal and risky action.

THE KING Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 So at what point in history can one use the term 'Israel' to describe that nation?I'll go for 1948 , when Israel became a nation.Now remind us all when "Israel in Epypt" happened ? And who were these tribes...in relation to your " milk and honey" (biblical analogy) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 It's a conspiracy 12 penalties The ref/judge is a mason Love it Are you incapable of following any discussion that's nuanced and subtle fb, or do you simply choose not to try? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 You used the expression "behave in concerted ways" earlier. Is this 'conspiracy lite'? If you like, Yes. Is the theory that people in power can act towards shared agendas really that original for you? I'd love to claim it, but it's actually been thought of before, you know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 The uneducated fukwit thinks this is a documentary.... So we've established that the phrase "Israel in Egypt" was acceptable 250+ years ago. Where, exactly, do you take issue with me? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 His side win 8-1 to go 6 points clear at the top of the table, with a goal difference of +27 more than the second placed team, and he's on here getting wound up about biblical analogies! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Is the theory that people in power can act towards shared agendas really that original for you? I gave you a let-out by suggesting it was simply inertia. Another poster, rightly, described it as laziness. You started to say it wasn't a conspiracy then tried to soften it by saying the parties worked in concert. Neither are true. The Football authorities, the press and the police do not collaborate in any way shape or form here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a level of nitpicking that is even beneath me but I will amend my post accordingly.

Dons_1988 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 As I've said, we don't have a conspiracy in the true sense of the word. When people with shared interests act at the same time, sometimes by overlapping however, we can get effects that are not unlike those achieved by a more organised, single movement. I really don't know what you're getting at. It's not a conspiracy then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE KING Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Spelling aside, 'Israel' certainly existed before 1948 and was a common term.No doubt it did , like many others, but the first time it was internationally recognised was 1948.But remind us what this has to do with your imaginary tribes called Israel in the time Moses who were captive? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
