G-MAN Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Out of the country on holiday - anyone able to give me the gist of Smith's ramblings this time? No need to strip titles as Oldco won titles before and after the EBT period. No appetite, everyone is sick of it and want to move on. EBTs helped give us the most exciting league ever including Helicopter Sunday The players may still have signed. EBTs were legal. (Nothing mentioned on how they were used or tried to be hidden) He called a QC last night and said there is nothing anyone can do because of LNS The above looks like he was managing to get across his view but my 8 yo could have communicated better. He's a fucking imbecile. Chris McCLaughlin again spinning the no appetite line from Scottish Clubs. That's the way the MSM will be going quite clearly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owsley Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Saw Smith gibbering away on tv the other night. Put me in mind of the old joke said about Charlie Nicholas, "language isn't his first language. " 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShugtheBuddie Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Just tuned into the podcast. Thought Spiers was bang on Smith was predictably against it he must have known about this in his time with the SFA? McManus rattled on a little about the runners up to EBT Rangers getting the titles/cups but Im not sure that is even the issue with most fans they just want Rangers not to have won them. Towards the end of the podcast was a bit lighter and some very entertaining stories on pre-season by Tam in particular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JTS98 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 On 02/07/2017 at 21:51, thesnowman said: It was Liam McLeod. He rattled off all the stats that show that countries that play a summer schedule have a poor record of reaching the group stages of the champions and europa league, to which Chick Young responded, "So you are for the status quo". The question someone should have asked was 'How did these countries perform before the qualifiers were mid-summer?' as this is the pertinent point. We now do much worse than we did when the quaifiers moved. Other countries who have always performed poorly are irrelevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JTS98 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Gordon Smith's logic in the EBT title-stripping conversation is bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4mmy31 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I always thought Gordon Smith was one of the most illiterate, brain dead, pundits I'd ever heard when he used to summarise on Sportsound years ago. When he got a job at the SFA I was dumbfounded. Hearing him again today I am speechless. I don't think he has said one thing which has made any sense. Absolute idiot of the highest order. And an absolute arsehole of a guy if you ever meet him in person ...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work in the same place as his wife, the guy is probably one of the most egotistical people I've ever encountered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgy129 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I always wonder why they ask these questions to ex rangers players."So stevie Thompson (EBT recipient and ex rangers player) should rangers be stripped of titles?"Then ask Gordon smith, ex rangers player, and chief executive. And a former worker of the SFA.Why ask these questions to people with connections to old rangers???You would be as well asking a typical rangers fan in the street as you get the same answer: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I've not heard it, but reading these comments from Gordon Smith is as laughable as it's predictable. A horrible individual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be as well asking a typical rangers fan in the street as you get the same answer: It's ridiculous of course but that's how the Scottish media works, especially the Bigot Broadcasting Corporation. Despite them supposedly having to produce a balanced output you can rest assured the vast majority of the opinion you'll hear from them is from the 'don't strip the titles' lobby leaving the hard of thinking listener to believe the majority of people don't want the titles stripped when the public opinion is undoubtedly the opposite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A horrible individual. I listened to it. It really is horrendous. He offers absolutely no coherent argument. My two favourites: 'Celtic won the league a few times during the EBT years' 'Rangers have also won the league without EBT's' Both points completely irrelevant in establishing whether or not cheating took place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Mark Wilson asked on OTB for the greatest Scottish woman ever, from any walk of life. "eeeeeeeeeehhhhmmmmm, Judy Murray" was the prophetic response. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
