Ylf Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 ^^^rangers died. Cheated for years end of. The fans didn’t attempt to save the rangers. Be at least 5 years imo before they will challenge for the title. Pleasing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Wasn't there a case in England when bookies paid out early on a Man utd win, only for another team (Arsenal?) To win the league? Not sure. Regardless, PP are gonna look like right daft p***ks if Aberdeen win it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicely in-keeping with what was in the Trivial Pursuit question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're some lad Even though it is The Chronicles (sic) of the Banter Years, Tony, one needn't detail every event in every post. What I said was both true and credible. Now if you reckon we were 'forced' in to League Three then feel free to elaborate. Also feel free to tell every diddy who has complained over the years that it was made too easy to f**k off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were then told to start in the lowest league of the same organisation or you wouldn't have a club to support in any League. Wanted one thing, had to settle for another - kinda sounds like being forced into something you didn't want to do to me tbh. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What hope is there for the unschooled, mouth-foaming, barely-literate diddies? Given that The Chronicles (sic) of the Banter Years has become The BRALT for those with the attention span of a gnat I'll restate the truth: Our possible advent to SFL1 was entirely the construct of Regan and Doncaster along with their concomitant 'Armageddon' scenario. As I have said, passim, this had heehaw to do with Rangers. We applied for admission for The SFL and this was granted with the utmost simplicity at the lowest tier. Absolutely nothing forced about it - hence the rage of the pitchfork brigade as mentioned above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It followed a thwarted desire to resume life in the SPL. I don't suppose they were literally "forced" to play in the lower leagues, but inasmuch as it was the highest level they were able to play at, the wording is perfectly sensible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same here. You're not right; you're wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
