Did anyone hear radio shortbread tonight ? Speaking about the reconstruction of the game, Mr george peat the former top man at the sfa was part of it. Now call me cynical but this guy has done nothing but be well paid for little or no return to the Scottish game. To top it off they interviewed that dirty pipe smoking bigot donald findlay ?? God only knows why, result radio off ! Our media is full of bottle merchants & apologists for the biggest bunch of thieving & scamming shower that is Rangers ! AbS

It has always puzzled me that in a country so obsessed with sectarianism that some chosen bigots are allowed to prosper. Finlay was exposed singing questionable songs, Goram boasted about what he called Pierre, using not just sectarian language but racist as well, yet the pair of them are given air time.Why? Jeeze, Goram even has a column in a national chip wrapper!........green jhedi

Seen this on a Rangers Facebook page:-


It is a great to hear so many SPL AND SFA head sheds talk about fan power and Integrity. Well listen to 40% of the football fans that go to games they are Rangers Fans

You have no integrity at all and we have the fan power and you lot are jealous. Because we don't surrender

CHIEF EXECUTIVE Charles Green finds it incredible that Rangers have been ignored and excluded from the decision-making process in the restructuring of the Scottish game.

While virtually every club in the country is struggling financially and barely filling their stadium, Rangers are thriving as all of the investment plans made by the consortium have come to fruition.

-------

Would someone explain to me then:-

1. What happened on 14th Feb 2012 and why ? Was it anything to do with 'stuggling finanacially' ?

2. Has 'barely filling their stadium' caused any other team in the SPL to go down the tubes, out of all the SPL team last season who was not living within their means ?

3. 'Rangers are thriving' ? Based on what track record, was their certified accounts published and we all missed it ?

4. Does having say for arguments sake having the biggest fan base in the whole wide world buy you 'power and intergrity'. Can someone from Rangers please give their definition of Sporting Integrity ?

5. 'You have no integrity at all' Who & why ?

6. 'Charles Green finds it incredible that he has been ignored'. He knows why he is being 'ignored' and is spitting the dummy as he arrogantly assumed any reconstruction would include fast tracking his £5.5m purchase into the SPL.

7. 'Because we don't surrender' pppffft, I think you'll find you did, watched as John Grieg walked out and never batted an eyelid and ignored every obvious warning sign (4IAR nae dough?)

Mrs E

I think common sense would say they ceased to exist in the old form but wanted continuity to stand for the same Neanderthal bigoted morals they have in the past....they will never be trusted to scale any heights in Scottish football without any honesty, it's one thing to have loadsamoney to gain an advantage in a stagnant league but to hock everything under the sun,
Dodge paying your debts and then complain about treatment while rubbing everybody's nose in it that you are the same club as before nobodies fooled

Green Judge

Green Judge, what gets me is Chuckles is whipping some of them into such a frenzy they are ignoring blatant facts.

The ONLY club to have recently suffered from financial difficulties so severe they went down the tubes is RFC.

The ONLY club currently subject to an investigation & allegations of cheating that could lead to title stripping is RFC.

What is wrong with some folk ? Mrs E

I believe they are still ignoring every obvious warning sign. Green is panicking. I would guess he is relying on increasing the price of season tickets next season to cover costs. They have no other obvious source of income. If the restructure goes ahead he won't be able to increase prices. Share issue is done. I think they may struggle in 2013. This is all purely my opinion, I could be proved wrong once the finances are published.

@ Mrs E; That post kinda tells it's own story for me Mrs E. "we have the fan power, we don't surrender" What a load of nonsense, but exactly the outcome green and mccoist would be looking for.They still use terms like demoted and punished not to forget the boot going in, but the reality is if they were treated as per the rules(you notice i don't say punished) they would not be in any league. No accounts no league place. This is all financial, green has to maintain his siege mentality as he will have to justify a season book rise next season.........green jhedi

Mrs E, agree with what you're saying, even the skeletons in the cupboard are feeling overcrowded and threatening to mutiny...there's more to come from Chico Greens laughter
emporium and I see more signs of trouble to come every day as does he.

There's a time coming when he won't be able to "use t'big yoorkshur ands"to save rankers
and that days-a-commin

Hasn't Chuckie changed his tune?
At the beginning of the season he said he accepted Div 3 football. Now he doesn't even accept SCOTTISH football in it's proposed format.
Maybe he's gearing up for his own new creation, a version of football called "Cross-Dressing Topless Football On Ice" where Sally McMoist leads out the team each week with a triple salco to the tune of "Ice, Ice Chuckie." I can't see it catching on myself.
QUESTION FOR FANS OF GOVAN Rangers: How does it feel to have a psycho running your club?

Hail Hail

If a welsh team qualifies for europe in england then they arent eligible to play in europe.....just seen this on the dark side banter page, is this true????? {Ed007's Note - Cardiff and Swansea can only qualify for Europe through the English system:

http://goo.gl/2uDEe

There was doubt after the 2008 cup final when the english fa said they were ineligable had they won. Its good uefa have came out and clarified that they will be allowed to play in europe should they qualify.

For next season Celtic won't need to do the hard sell for season books . This tit Green is doing it for them . " Who's going to buy Celtic season books without an Old Firm game " . Err me for one . When is this man going to be made to look the fool he already is in our sorry excuse for press . He is a Yorkshire David Icke with his ramblings . " In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king " . Eh . " The man who never did anything never did anything wrong " . WTF is he on about......DH {Ed007's Note - David Icke would take offence at that DH.}

What kind of deluded fool would issue that statement? The kind that sees a valuable income stream closing.Green would have been banking on a rise in season tickets, how could he do that now? Same teams, same level of football, but we want £100-150 more thanks.............green jhedi

The evidence suggests Icke has his feet more firmly on the ground than any gobrubbish from piebrox!
It's the old 99% argument, let me explain; Icke 99% sense 1% pish, Green 1% sense 99% pish. pea

Here's another few gems from the ex Yorkshire coal miner . " Yous lot (SFA ) think your Mother Theresa giving out money to lower clubs " . Err Glinty I think you will find Mother Theresa had no money and tended the sick in third world countries . " I've just been giving the attendance figures yesterday and only Man Utd, Arsenal and Newcastle have higher average crowd a than us . Even if you put Celtic into it who have played CL games their average is lower than us " . I thought it was reported that Celtic had the 3rd biggest home gates in the UK but Charlie knows best . You get owt for nowt ! Eh .........DH

Dh, i never missed a celtic game from the age of 10 to 22 home and away . i have never had a season ticket because at 22 i started working shifts and that's 35 years ago, and shift paterns mean you miss about 33% of games per season . so i go when i can . but your right, greens rallying cry has worked for me. i will buy one next season, and give it away when i can't go . see you in the queue .. shammy

The fool just doesn't seem to get it . We all know attendances have been falling for years no matter what teams are in the league . Prices for everything just seem to go up and wages for the lucky people like myself who are working have been staying the same for the last few years . This d!ck doesn't know how many books we sell, he is just another sheep who see empty seats at the stadium and assume there is no one there . As GJ says this guy is bottling himself in case he has to increase prices and the backlash begins . Remember this is all bravado right now about no walking away and enjoying the journey.........DH

Didnt green go onto say because of the recession fans might feel less committed to season tickets and buy individual tickets

We already have Africa's best young player in Big Vic, have the best young player in Australasia on trial in Tommy Rogic and are being heavily linked with a move for one of the best young players in North America in Juan Agudelo. We really need to start giving other clubs a chance . . .

Lets get them signed bud, then start boasting, great if we get them but lets wait and see .. shammy
