I’ve read yesterday’s statement from prospective Rangers owner, Charles Green, a few times now, without really understanding what the point was. When someone issues an unexpected statement the reason is usually obvious. Not on this occasion.
Published on the official Rangers web site it once and for all confirmed that Duff and Phelps were acting with the approval of Green when they took the SFA to the Court of Session, thereby bringing the entire Scottish game into a potential disrepute situation with Fifa.
Mr Green will now be fully aware of the ramifications of Rangers court action. They failed in their attempt to have the matter referred back for consideration to the Judicial Panel and, as Paul McConville pointed out yesterday, cannot be ejected from the Scottish Cup. They are not currently participating in the Scottish Cup, and suspension from a future season’s Cup is not an available punishment.
His legal advice is now likely to conclude that his actions will soon lead to suspension from the Scottish FA. There is, however, an interesting theme through Green’s short statement that might indicate why his statement was issued:
“I nor my investors wish to see an outcome that would be to the detriment of Scottish Football”.
“….suspension or termination of Rangers Football Club membership of the SFA. That in our view would be a disaster for Scottish football”.
“Expulsion from the Scottish Cup is itself a very serious punishment which would also have a severe impact on Scottish football”.
We are heartened to hear the interests of Scottish football are so core to Mr Green’s heart. This being the case, he will possibly protect Scottish football by asking the SFA to impose the now-illegal player registration ban on Rangers and beg them not to refer the matter back to the Appellate Panel. The horse has bolted on this one but it’s possibly worth a punt.

Mon the (hula) hoops.
Has anyone from the press questioned the motives behind CW seling his shares to CG for a reported 2 quid,less than one week after refusing half a million from the blue knights?,or was this just accepted as common and understandable business practice?.
what age is Grace Jones?? 50 +????
Grace Jones has been banned from live tv since the Russell Harty incident. Fact.
Fair play to Grace Jones keeping that hoop going so long.

Even the Hula Hoop was out of tune
I think yon Mik Hucknall has been on the botox.
Ed Sheerin’s forgotten his hula hoop.
The Royals, God help their poor innocent wit, are from a direct line going right back to the Bruce ( Robert De Bruys ),who just happened to be a Norman Frenchman.
Along the way, wily old James 1 of England ( Sixth of Scotland ) was widely known in Scotland as Signor Rizzio, because of his remarkable likeness to his mother Queen Mary’s pet entertainer. Strange that they don’t seem to ever lay claim to this particular branch of the family.
Rizzio is maybe the source of the Windsor’s remarkable talent & charisma.

It’s so good Rolf Harris steals the whole didgeridoo.
Saw an article with Little form ragers saying he is now effectively unemployed along with Aluko and others and he has heard nothing from ragers .
where’s FW when you need him or are these players not worthy of his time now they are no longer ragers players
Just think how big a concert they could have
had if some people had paid their taxes.
Why have I got a vision of D&D ,CW,CG stuffing bags with money and paperwork whilst the hordes toast the buckie to auld Lizzie .

While the bloodline of the current Queen may well have traces of the Stuarts, the first of her family who may succeed her, with English blood flowing in his veins, will be her grandson, who acquired it through his mammy. I thought the Queen had mostly German blood, while her weans have a dose of Greek too.
