At some point today those who believed Rangers have, or should have, impunity from the law of the land, as well as the rules and regulations of Scottish football, will awaken to the realisation that this is not the case.
Soon thereafter another thought will arrive: what about the impending Improper Registration of Players charge?
Over a decade of subverting every competition they have played in. Denying clubs who register players correctly the right to compete on a level playing field. Grabbing prize money and the abundant financial rewards of Champions League football rightly due to others – more on this later in the week.
This charge brings every domestic and European competition they played in into disrepute and is several times the magnitude than that which Rangers were punished for yesterday. Then consider bringing the game into disrepute by chasing football bling instead of paying taxes, a separate issue from player registration.
The toxicity of these charges is enormous and if upheld will bring punishments appropriate for corrupting over 700 football games. A whole raft of disciplinary procedures has still to take place. If the misdemeanours of the Craig Whyte era have caused distress, those of the old board, including Ogilvie, Johnston and the Murray twins, will soon establish Rangers current owner as a mere footnote in the club’s demise.
Show of hands, who sat on the board that spent £4m on Jelavic two years after the HMRC investigation into EBTs started?

Terry a Bhoy……never
Lennybhoy, 2012
It may end up simply as another nail in their coffin, don’t be getting too excited
Are Chelsea playing anti football here ?
Chelsea are doing what we did in 2004. Went there with a 1-0 lead and defended for their lives and got a huge slice of luck.
If they get away with it they will deserve credit.
Barcelona are now starting to lob the ball into the box never a good sign from their point of view.
Ten Men
Villa were a generous 12/1 a few weeks ago to go down, a few on here thought I was daft tipping them to go down, was worth 50 of your brit pounds I thought :>)
Not that it matters but heard that the rotten mob haven’t managed to sell their full allocation of tickets for Sunday. E mails were sent to season ticket holders today making them aware that tickets were still available.
I hate Chelsea, but if they go through from this position it will be an amazing achievement.
Think the years of Barca dominance might be coming to an end, regardless of this result. They look half the team of a season or so ago.
Chelsea make the Cardigan’s team look adventurous
midfield maestro –
I am good mate. Early morning here and up with the lark watching the CL semi-final. how’s the Bhoy?
All it takes is one lapse of concentration and Barca will be in
They will get 1 more chance in this game
They have to take it
Barca are too one dimensional at times:sometimes you would just like them to shoot or for someone to take somebody on rather than just keep tip-tapping the ball about. Somebody is going to have to do something brave and different rather than doing the same thing over and over…has Alves taken on Cole a man all night? Time for Messi to step up…
I think Pep made a major mistake playing youngsters like Cuenca and Tello.
When have you ever seen Messi misfit and over hit so many passes.
Messi hits the post….

On Terry
On the rare occasion that Chelsea and Celtic are playing at the same time, half time and full time scores are the first thing he asks about.
Gary Neville doesn’t like Torres
Ugh, part of me wants Chelsea to go through, so good their defence, reminds me an awful lot of our 0-0 draw there to go through all those years back
Who’s turn is it now, SPL , FTT….?

The Bhoy is well, studying for his finals, hoping to graduate, then hoping for work in Brasil before heading in your direction again. Some nice wee holidays in the future :))
Barca are gettin caught out with some teams ( who have enough players of a calibre to catch them out) as they can ‘match up’ in a lot of positions
+ concentration
Looks like it’s not been a good week for Barca then
Kittoch
Genuine question
How do you know this?
Hh
Tet
Not been a good season.
This eye of the needle stuff is sometimes to easy to defend against for a well organised back line…Barca need to start taking risks.
Does Neville not realise Terry will miss the final if Chelsea win?
Bourne
Is Torres Turkish too?
Kittoch – are you Wayne Bridge?! :-)

Forth?

Can’t be much more room left on the Coffin but I will note your caution not to get too excited.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
How many times does a team defending a lead with 10 men win through?
Chelsea v Mourinhos mob in the final,no thanks.
3 mins time added to go.
Barca will get one more chance.
Will they take it?
Torres scores. Doubly amazing!
torture……………….
WAs that not offside?
Barca fail in a tired, tired performance and we’ve seen it before when they play one pass too many.
Chelsea more likely to fail against a more physical side in the final.
Hope their disgusting support don’t wreck Munich, like they did in Manchester.
Wow.
Torres
Torres seals it for Chelsea….Neville shows he’s impartial !

Oh well but Chelsea have played out of their skins.
