This Ralph Topping guy,whats his game? he seems to be shouting about sponsors walking away due to uncertainty surrounding the SPL. One question Ralph,who's fault would that be? Thats right the team you are bending over backwards to let in your league.Great work though Ralph.............green jhedi

Ralph is one of ours is he no? {Ed007's Note - Human? I am not so sure. I have heard he is a shape shifting lizard who belongs to the same branch of The Illuminati as a certain Craig Whyte. (Motherwell branch).}

Only the beginning Jhedi.
Are you starting to get the picture now?
Sponsors walking away... you's were warned to be careful what you wished for.
Stevie-A-Bear

Ha ha the Green Jhedi is well named Ed coz he's clearly on a different planet from most of us ;0 {Ed007's Note - There will be no slagging of any Star Wars products on here :-)

Oh aye Steve its all Celtic supporters fault Rangers are in financial meltdown. Rangers caused this themselves, not through the wishful thinking of Celtic supporters.

Third post.leave a name mate,dont hide in the shadows..........green jhedi

Morality is rapidly disintegrating in Scottish society. It seems that it is
okay to steal and cheat honest working small businesses. Is this how
we want our country to be run?

Wake up , it is how the world has been run for over 70 years, why would it change now.

Lost Bhoy 50

I agree with the original poster this is different this is blatant not concealed by corporate lawyers but cheating in the public eye. maybe you should wake up!

Basically, yes. It is.

Is that the same as Ireland facing huge austerity measures to pay off Massive debt, run up by the corrupt suits, and past on to ordinary folks! Should Ireland be bailed out? Corruption is rife everywhere, and it would be wrong to say nothing, but let us not judge. {Ed007's Note - Are you honestly comparing Rangers problems to an entire country's? Where does your patronising arrogance actually stop? It took all week, but take a bow, you are officially Kn*b Of The Week. It's a competition all of us Eds run over all the sites, if you send in your details we will send you a prize of a colouring book and crayons (see if you can stay in the lines), a voucher for an free eyebrow wax and anything we have kicking about from the Early Learning Centre.}

Dear Ed, Steady on it wasn't that good! But the crayons will come in handy to draw a picture of you on yer high horse.

It was YOU ya t**t that posted a text comparing Rangers corruption with the downfall of morality in SCOTTISH SOCIETY & OUR COUNTRY! Rangers must be MASSIVE! Ya dimwit.

Picasso {Ed007's Note - You're obviously an idiot who is blinded by either arrogance or your stupidity. I think any country's problems are more important than a corrupt to the core football team.}

Ed, of course Ireland's financial troubles are of far greater priority than Rangers, YOU have missed the point! Its an analogy. Are people taking the moral high ground with Ireland, no! They have enough problems.

But SOME of you, then see it right to attribute the downfall of morality in Scotland to RFC! How pathetic.

As Editor you should have common sense to send that post to the bin! But no, you go of on a rant because someone draws attention to it. The point is, just quit the morality act, it stinks of poison ivy! Rangers are in the process of being judged by THE JUDGE, and rightly so, as they have made an arse of it. {Ed007's Note - The minute Alex Salmond phoned HMRC to discuss Rangers problems it became society's problem. A political figure should not be getting involved in this, ask UEFA.}

And you had the audacity to call me an idiot! In case it has escaped your attention. Rangers are one of the oldest football clubs in the world, the other half of THE old firm, that is, the social safety valve that has helped to maintain sanity in sectarian Glasgow for over a hundred years, besides huge financial repercussions, it would be a powder keg should Rangers cease to exist. And you are saying that our National Government are wrong to be concerned! lol! you are danger to the poor people on this forum, Editor! Keep the crayons and eye wax, you won! {Ed007's Note - I am not saying it is wrong for the government to be involved, UEFA are, remember Sion? Does sectarian Glasgow cover your 120 year signing policy, that didn't exactly help stamp out sectarianism did it? Would you like to explain why it would be a powderkeg if Rangers cease to exist, are you saying that Rangers fans would resort to civil unrest or some other darker methods of protest? And as for financial repercussions, what is worse than not paying bills, the repercussions have already been felt. I was always going to win anyway, I usually do against blinkered idiots.}

I was always going to win anyway, I usually do? Is that not Arrogance!

Its obviously that you have never witnessed sectarian violence, I hope you don't its awful. Or maybe your just blinkered. You did say, it is wrong for the Government to get involved, be accountable for what you write Editor.

Are you saying Rangers have no merit at all in there history or community? You are a bigot, both have a lot to be thankful for too. {Ed007's Note - It's not arrogance, it is only a fact. As for sectarian violence, I have the scars to prove it after being stabbed multiple times and left in the street after the 6-2 match, and my family still carry the mental scars from the hospital, I hope that passes your test of my credentials. I did say it was wrong for the government to get involved, I wasn't giving an opinion on it, I was stating a fact. I am not a bigot, I just can't be arsed arguing with people who are so blinkered and stupid to see facts without their blue tinted glasses. You obviously struggle to comprehend basic facts and I have better things to do than argue with tools like you.}

Picasso here,........ {Ed007's Note - No worries Picasso. I am more than happy to draw a line under it all, take care mate.}

Of too txsco for the big shop think i'll be good too myself and indulge a little. The reason ? Got myself one of those new "RED cards" you just fill your trolley up take what you want and show it too the lassie at the counter and you don't have to pay for any of it absolutely brilliant! taking the kids too disney in the summer aswell. Irony is i have more money since i stopped paying tax can't believe i've been so naive for so long! No wonder that murray bloke got knighted i did n't realise you good to this until now. How stupid do i feel?

So the mighty cousins of william are handing tickets back for the semi final? No doubt,if given the chance,we will snap them up.Fair enough,except for one thing.The semi final cash take is split four ways.So yet again we are more or less paying for their empty seats.How can a league expect to grow unless it stands on it's own two feet?We are now in the position where rangers cannot be punished properly because financially,the losses to the SPL might be too great.All authorities in the game in scotland have been milking both us and rankers for so long they seem to be fresh out of any blue sky thoughts.If you as a business,spend more than you turnover then im afraid you should resign as you are not paying due diligence.These clubs need to downsize or forever be feeding from scraps from the table of away fans.For me, they have a chance to get their house in order due to rankers problems.Rankers in div3 would represent a chance to achieve a higher league placing meaning more money,and with the bonus of more cash spread out in the lower divisions.Players would have to accept lower,more realistic wages or go part time.Youth would come to the fore as a natural money saver.TV is the one thing that constantly raises its head in this argument.If they dont get a deal worth taking refuse it.Internet streaming will kill sky etc soon enough,so let clubs stream their own keeping all the cash.That brings me back to my original point,i would not mind giving cup money if celtic had their own tv rights.Who knows we might even see that ancient art of "gawn tae the fitba" return instead of sitting watching at home.........green jhedi

I agree with most of what green jhedi says. The fact that the other clubs sit on their hands and do nothing to encourage their support or grow their support amazes me. I mean what are their commercial managers doing apart from getting a seat in the box? There ar emany initiatives obvious by their absence, Buses to games a free pie and bottle of water, participation with local schools etc etc. One possible idea would be to aggregate the season tickets/match ticket. If the break even or desired cash from match A is X, then any number of ways can be found to increase the gate and thereby reduce cost of entry to the fan. The incentive to get more into the ground is a reduced cost for that game. There are a hundred things thay could do but arent...except milking CFC that is! Sopot Celt

Daily Ranger linking Celtic with a move for Gordon in the summer. Gomes of Spurs would be available for free also but i'd like to see them strike a deal with Fraser.

I'd really like us to sign big Forster if at all possible. I think he's grown into the team and has proved his ability. It's hard to find good goalies but I think he's well worth signing.

Gomes...GTF

Gomes is one of the most overrated goalkeepers i've ever seen, Gordon spends more time on the treatment table than on the pitch. Forster has grown into a reliable keeper

These so called penalties against rangers are farcical.How does taking tv cash hinder them? no europe means plenty free midweeks for cash gathering friendlies,that would make the shortfall up easily......green jhedi

All the best euopean teams are tied up midweeks who would they attract , teams that couldn't qualify , would you pay every second week to watch that meaningless drivel, bb

I share the disgust at the blatant cronyism of the SPL / SFA however the governing authorities have always run Scottish football for the benefit of the Old Firm , admittedly preferablely for Rangers, so it comes as no great surprise that they are now trying to bail them out to keep the Sly TV deal alive. They need a 8 out of 12 vote to get it through so will soon see which member club chairmen have a pair of testicles.

Reply 1;my point is it dznt matter who they play as the place would be full,it's a money making event.If the fans trusted the new regime,and knew the cash was all for a rebuild they would fill it........green jhedi

They will atract !Giants! like Linfield , i find that totally embarassing
