One day this week Strathclyde Police officers will have visited Lennoxtown and Murray Park and reminded players and officials the consequences their actions can have before during and after Sundays Celtic-Rangers game.
Our streets are dangerous on these weekends, best avoided, always avoided by me. You know it, I know it, people who have worked in the game for the last 40-odd years know it.
At a media conference at Ibrox today, Sandy Jardine said:
“Having gone round and met a lot of the supporters and people within the club, I think people are absolutely sick and tired of everybody having a kick at us when we’re down.
“Out of that, the supporters will take sanctions against clubs which we deem have been unfair to ourselves.
“I’m not going to go into the actual details but we will probably announce that after the meeting with the supporters clubs.
“Everybody is sick and tired of just accepting everything that everybody is throwing at us and it’s about starting to fight back.
“The size of our club and the size of our supporter base, it can be a powerful weapon.
“Everybody having a kick at us”. “Supporters will take sanctions”. “It’s about starting to fight back”.
Watch yourself at the weekend. After the game, go home and stay there. Talk about kicking and fighting three days before the game does not bode well.

Good morning from a very damp MK.
So glad CQN is back but it’s left me little time to trawl the posts, although I have had time to read BRTH’s and James Forrest’s excellent posts.
The onslaught of comments coming from within the Rangers camp at the moment are reckless and incendiary.
A reserved communique from Peter Lawwell today about the need for people in responsible positions to be more considered in their public utterance would be timely and it’d also put down a marker for the likely fallout from Sunday’s game.
Morning,would some kindly soul,happen to have the transfers budget
in and out of Ragers since the loyal cardiganess (Watty) came back to his beloved.
Want to ram figures into this wee hun bassa next to me.
Best regards,
Why is it that this headline from today’s online Daily Mail makes me think of Sunday’s game?

I see “Draconian” being used a lot by our friends with regard to the punishment awarded this week.

Well I told you once and I told you twice
That someone will have to pay the price
But here’s a chance to change your mind
‘Cuz I’ll be gone a long, long time

Maybe the last time
I don’t know. Oh no. Oh no
Well, this could be the last time
Borrowed this off RTC from last night. RFCIA seemed to be running with annual losses on reguar basis. Even back in the nineties.

It was asked up thread if an old post of mine could be re-posted. I posted it here some months ago, but it was originally posted on another forum in December 2009. Anyway, here it is again:
———————————————————————————————
2009 2008
Operating (loss)/profit (17,325) 641
That means that on their ordinary operations they made a loss of 17.325m on turnover of 39.7m quid, as compared to a profit of 641k on turnover of 64.5m last year.
Can I just say something?
WOOOOOOF!
Nae effing wonder Lloyd’s is running the shambolic disaster that is the Duke of Murrkymoonbeams’ legacy to the legions of cretinous dignified reptiles who’ll have to clean up the wreckage.
Wanna know how brilliant a businesscarrot Lord Dodgy of Skintmint has been at taking everybody’s dosh and then ratshafting them at the Zoodome for the last 15 years? Well, I’ve just gone through the figures,and here they are:
LORD DODGY: THE WONDER YEARS 1995-2009
2009
Turnover 39.7m
Loss for the year – 12.7m
2008
Turnover 64.5m
Profit for the year 7.2m
2007
Turnover 41.8m
Loss for the year -6.253m
2006
Turnover 43.483m
Profit for the year 0.092m
2005
Turnover 34.480m
Profit for the year 12.674m*
* This figure was arrived at by counting a 15m gain due to ‘negative goodwill release’ from buying back NTL’s previous 15m investment in Rangers media rights for £1. Actual operations for the year produced a loss of 7.813m.
2004
Turnover 57.079m
Loss for the year -5.939m
2003
Turnover 49.035 m(as restated in 2004 accounts)
Loss for the year -29.605m

Ticketus to announce shortly that they will not be helping fund any takeover of #Rangers. More to follow on #BBCSport online.

Sandy was found hiding under the marble staircase, apparently hes been there since the 70s, hence the rather outdated hair do.
The cupboards would have of course been a poor choice of hiding place as they are as empty as their bank accounts.

Morning, All.
Some fine, thought provoking contributions this past few days, especially from BRTH, James Forrest and Barcabhoy.
Re: Jardine: it still rankles with me that Scotland managers down the years made space for this joker by aksing the best ever right back this country has produced to play dozens of games at left back.

Sandy Jardine eats a sandwich containing live wasps before leaving the house each morning. He also has a rare eye condition which results in a belief that he is gazing directly at the sun, even when indoors.
It’s a result of these two FACTS that make him look the way he does.
Re the word draconian. It derives from a politician/ lawmaker in ancient Greece called Draco who imposed the death penalty for even the most trivial offences.

Proving once again that the SPL needs Rangers …

Ticketus own the tickets. The only way to maybe wriggle out of that is liquidation.

Division 3 and a brand new NewCo with no history is the only way to remove all toxicity from Rangers. Otherwise they will still be liable for sanctions and lawsuits from the 2 contracts, the big scandal that is still to hit. Rangers and D&P all know this. CVA is just not on the agenda anymore, it never really was.
The major problem being getting their fans to follow a brand new NewCo in enough numbers in the 3rd Division.
Are any of you curious as to why the Rangers legneds are suddenly issuing fiery rhetoric? How about this for a scenario?
You have a gullible, herd like fanbase, greedily gobbling up anything you tell them unquestioningly. They have a superiority complex and their ego’s have all been stung. You have them drunk on injustice, persecution and bias. You lash out at all and sundry publicly for daring to kick you whilst you are down. Slowly whipping things up to the point where as a club you need to take a moral stand against the whole of Scottish football due to their hatred of you and The Rangers. How do you do this?
Resign from the SPL and go to Division 3.
Your stupid fans see this as a protest and waddle along after you baa’ing on cue.
it is what I would do….
Ticketus not funding any takeover? From all we’ve heard no one else will!
That leaves three options for Ticketus – remember they have shelled out over £20M and will want at least some of it back.
They could stick to the original plan and take cash out every year from season ticket sales – this assumes there is a club and that it is selling a sufficient number of season tickets or can pay the difference.
They could go after Criag Whyte and/ or his company in court for the cash.
They could take Whyte’s shares in lieu of payment – but would they really want to end up owning the huns??
Ticketus claim they are not Creditors (but owners of the tickets) so any CVA is nothing to do with them ?
I’ve had enough of this now. C’mon Hector, kill them deid.
Chris McGlaughlin
What a tooobe Gerry
Maybe its time we all clubbed together and made D&P an offer.
With a wee bit of work ibrokes could be renovated and turned into the finest GAA Stadium outside Ireland.
jock steins celtic – As it stands at the moment you are correct. However the court said the administrators could rip up the contract which would then make Ticketus creditors, if they so chose to do so.
Sounds like the penny may finally have dropped with Ticketus and the have simply decided/accepted that there’s no prospect of salvaging any meanigful investment from being involved with any successor to RFC(IA).
Maybe they’ve simply decided to focus on pursuing Whyte through the courts.
I would imagine that there are fewer unknowns along that path …

I was passing the stadium yesterday , nipped into the superstore for a look, some good deals on just now. On leaving thought i’d chance asking in the ticket office if any tickets available for Sunday, to my surprise, yes was the reply, a few cancellations. South stand right at the tunnel, over the moon was i, birthday on Monday, early present to myself.
Thought id mention just in case anyone was still looking for a ticket, worth dropping in to the ticket office. Hail Hail

Sick reading about rangers and their bitching now.

To hide from that mob would be an absolute betrayal.
