Re: The Scottish Football Thread
Oops. Looks like the SFA/SPL attempt to steal some trophies has hit a few snags with the leaking of the proposed punishments before anyone had been found guilty or any independent panel proposed.

“When we received the letter on June 25 it hadn’t been discussed in any shape or form. It was simply presented to us and we felt its contents, frankly, were outrageous.
“It smacked of a witchhunt and we said we wouldn’t be party to it.
“Charles Green was quoted during the week as saying the whole process investigating Rangers was ‘fundamentally misconceived’ and we agree with that 100 per cent.
“It’s clear from the documents you have seen that sanctions were being openly discussed before anyone had been found guilty of anything.

The "without prejudice" draft document became an irrelvence as soon as the attempt to have Chucky's team shoehorned into Div 1 failed.
I thought the concepts proposed in the document would be familiar to somebody in your line of work Is it any different than being offered a fixed fine penalty (or whatever it's called). You pay up or you take your chance in at a later day and may have a greater penalty/punishment imposed.
... the only difference in this case was that no punishment was to be imposed. Rangers/The Rangers/Sevco were only asked to accept the consequences of their wrongdoing.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
I love this thread. It's vastly more entertaining than any actual Scottish football.

The standards of the Sun reporting are spreading to the honesty of your posting.... so to fill in the blanks and allow CFers to have the the complete story
The picture Derek has chose to show you is the part of the ground that would be occupied by Rangers supporters if they had still been part of the SPL. Season tickets for those seats therefore exclude "matches involving Rangers or their replacement". The replacement club is Dundee as featured in this match.
Did you know? , despite all the claims of world records for 4th tier matches, more people have attended Celtic Matches than Rangers this season. This is despite the higher prices required to attend football matches in the top tier and European football.
I do find it kind of sad that even at this stage Rangers fans are looking to blame everybody else for their problems rather than take the opportunity to start afresh and save their own club. They'll blame Celtic and some other clubs?, SFA, SPL, HMRC and journalists when all the time the problems stemmed from within Ibrox.... and it's still happening.

I forgot the management ripped off their fans by not refunding the higher costs of season tickets bought by fans when they thought they might get to see two games a year featuring the mighty Glasgow Rangers.
Even if the rest of the stadium is full 41k for a Saturday afternoon game not on TV is laughable.
Still starting with 48,251 'fans' for the season opener (even though curiously only 41,250 came through the gates, surely making up for the Kelly years when the taxman was diddled out of revenue by massive under-reporting of income) and dropping to 41,073 shows just how faithful TGFITW are.

Not much, not really a fan of dull, pointless matches.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
I heard a great joke the other day. (FYI My grandad was a massive Ranger fan, and I support them in his memory)
"I can't wait to see Rangers in 3D... Sorry D3"

You're spending far too much energy looking at others rather than what's happening at Ibrox. It's really no wonder your club is being pickpocketed by another barra boy.
To put you right... again.... Season tickets were sold on matches against Rangers or their replacement.This was clearly stipulated. Not one season ticket was sold on any other basis. No rip off invoved. The majority of season tickets weren't renewed until it was clear that the new Rangers wouldn't be allowed back into the SPL. This was the case for all SPL clubs. The cheating wasn't to be rewarded.
The SPL and the SFA did everything it could to let you back into the SPL. It was football fans with understanding of the cheating you got away with that didn't, and still don't, want you.
If you want to see dishonesty from management, have a wee look in your own backyard. Some of Chucky's statements are comedy gold.... 3 billionaires, 6 players from the Euros, 45000 at Ibrox on Saturday ........still he's happy as long as you keep funding his escape plan
You'll find a table of Europe's top attended football stadium here:

So this year so far Rangers have remained pretty static fan wise whereas almost 10,000 of TGFITW were only ever going to snake mountain to see the Rangers.

I suspect your abacus requires new batteries
It is hard on the pocket following Glasgow's only SPL club. Trips to Moscow, Lisbon and Barcelona tend to hit the resources more than trips to Peterhead, Annan and Elgin. Probably not as time consuming though

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
Nice to see the SPL leaders given a hiding by 3rd division minnows Rangers tonight.

World record for a 4th tier team beating the leaders of the top league probably.
How envious other teams must be

Crime pays?
It's actually quite an astute lesson in business acumen by Chucky Green.
He's got the fans of the former Rangers onboard by playing the bigot card, the "everybody hates us card" and the "but others have done worse" lies.
The gullible ones seem to have a truth dyslexia and would rather hang onto the words that reaffirm in their puggled brains that they are the people. Totally deluded.
They don't see the irony that they were celebrating a victory in the 3rd round of the Communities Cup against a team that has a quarter of their wage bill.
Their boast of the crowds are laughable (quite a few complimentary tickets being handed out for home league matches apparently). Somebody on another site compared it to Primark boasting about their footfall compared to that of Harrods.
Meanwhile the rest of the country can see Chucky for what he is and he's filling his swag bag with the blue pound.
