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?

Bada bing where were you all weekend
Not sure if this has been posted yet??
Rangers ‘Til I Die Northern Ireland call on all Rangers fans to attend an Emergency meeting this Wednesday 25/4/12 in The Welders at 8pm.
We will be discussing the sale of Rosettes at the Rangers v Motherwell game.
We are proposing thet the Rosettes be sold at £5 and the money being raised to Pay the £160,000 fine imposed on Rangers by the Corrupt and Biased S.F.A.
This is to show any potential buyers that the fine will be covered by Rangers ‘Til I Die N.I.
We will also be seeking legal advice, with a view to using the money to take Legal action against the S.F.A
Rangers ‘Til I Die N.I also call upon on ALL Rangers fans and fan groups to unite as a front against our enemies.
Vanguardbears, Union Bears Followfollow, Blue Order, R.S.T, R.S.A, Blue Heaven Rangers Media etc must leave everything in the past and stand as one.
Rangers ‘Til I Die Northern Ireland.
United We Stand, Divided We Fall
What are we gonna do when they pay off the £160000?? That means there’ll be about a thousand new bidders!!
Neil Lennon made Minty sell to Whyte. In fact he gave Whyte the £1 coin.
They even in their rants about Lenny get it wrong Someone tell the idiot Lenny will be in the stands
brimmer,
Because they are stupid, duped huns?
Because they are used to marching on a Saturday?
Because the three of them with jobs can’t make it during the week?
Because there’s nothing on the telly?

Android problems-
Me too, but on mine there’s a “speech bubble” (shows the nuber of comments posted) near the top of the page I can click on to access comments. Either that or zoom in and its easier to click the comments link beside the facebook/twitter link.
Paul, am glad to see you havent lost focus, as I said in my last post, they think they have taken a right shafting already, they’ve barely begun the foreplay
The most interesting aspect of todays events is that our Agent has been banned from Scottish football for life, and yet he owns the Hunnery, The new Supermarket Site and the prime new flats site known as Murray park. So lets get this right, the only person with a stadium the new huns might use isnae allowed tae play….. Firhill groundshare it is then…..
Paul – great article but I have to take you to task.
Previously you produced (on average) one article per day.
Or put another way – 1 article per £24,000 Duff & Phelps earn.
Now your churning out 3 per day or 1 per £8,000 of Duff & Phelps income.
We all have to recuperate from sore sides on a daily basis.
We simply don’t have enough time to read this quality output & recover in time for the next one.
Keep up the good work.
Hail Hail
HMS Astute runs aground. RST blame Celtic manager.

Sorry to ask this again.
Is this news?
From the wires – I hadn’t heard this before, not sure if anyone else on here has?
“Rangers owe Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs more than £14million in annual tax payments plus about £4million relating to payments made to Ronald de Boer and Tore Andre Flo around the turn of the century.”

You’re the kind of person
You meet at certain dismal dull affairs.
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud
Running up and down the stairs.
Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years.
And though you’ve tried you just can’t hide
Your eyes are edged with tears.
You better stop
Look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown.
When you were a child
You were treated kind
But you were never brought up right.
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys
But still you cried all night.
Your mother who neglected you
Owes a million dollars tax.
And your father’s still perfecting ways of making sealing wax.
You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown.
Oh, who’s to blame, that girl’s just insane.
Well nothing I do don’t seem to work,
It only seems to make matters worse. Oh please.
You were still in school
When you had that fool
Who really messed your mind.
And after that you turned your back
On treating people kind.
On our first trip
I tried so hard to rearrange your mind.
But after while I realized you were disarranging mine.
You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown.
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown
Anyone know if Celtic TV are planning on having a camera / mics pointing at the away end on Sunday?

Cheers! The speech bubble thing works:-) Still don’t know why it changed, though.
I’m really surprised that with all the space Rangers spokesmen are getting on the airwaves and TV recently that nobody has asked them whether it is fair that the British public get bumped for their tax money.
The angle is all wrong for me. Ask the right questions!!!

““The decision to prohibit the Club from signing new players is akin to a court ordering the administrator of a trading company not to buy stock.”
Yes exactly mate, thats what courts do when you ‘buy stock’ with other peoples money!
Gordon j and Pg. VV funny.

Aluko does look decent, and he’s not been there long enough to have been in any way corrupted. He pays his own way, washes his own gear and brings his own packed lunch with him. What’s not to like. Yep i’d sign him.

Hi Paul,
Another excellent Article.
”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.”
Now we are getting to the heart of the matter, the inaptly named Custodians of the club have been allowed by the unquestioning compliant entourage to go about their business secreting a toxic trail of malfeasance.
Their only hope of survival was for R@ngers supporters to resourcefully and constructively rally round to salvage anything they left that was not rotten, their reaction again today shows why this will never happen.
You would have thought Duff and Phelps reaction would be more professional but yet again their statements demonstrate the opposite.
“The buying and selling of players is a fundamental activity for any club, and any person with even a hint of commercial acumen will be greatly alarmed by this ruling……..”
First point – Nothing is stopping them selling players as they will no-doubt witness when the transfer window opens.
Secondly and most importantly THE CREDITORS don’t want you to buy players they want you to PAY YOUR BILLS
Thirdly it was by buying players R@ngers couldn’t afford that they have been running a deficit for over twenty years which was always going to catch up with them.
Fourthly it was having to pay these unaffordable players by illegal means that have ensured from both a Civil and Footballing point of view the Sword of Damocles hangs by thread over their head.
ALSO
Their example was interesting…
””It is a bit like a court telling the administrator of an engineering company that they can survive but they’re not allowed to trade any stock.
Absolutely totally agree, but let me expand to put it into a context i.e. a situation where a Court would make such a decision.
An Engineering Company are selling faulty components, these components are built into some equipment which subsequently malfunctions causing life safety issues.
As a result of trading non-conformance merchandise the Company falls into administration and is forbidden from continuing selling their dodgy components.
SO
Presumably at this point IF the administrators are D&Ps they complain about their inability to pass off this junk as it is not commercial expedient.
Paul67 et al
“Rangers supporters are appalled by this decision which brings shame on the SFA and the national game”
You could not make that up, but, not for the first time, you do not have to, from whence speak those representing those self-same Rangers supporters. Lewis Carroll lives on, and on, and on.
steinreigns…,
ia that the first detail of the EBT info release :o)
i repeat rangers have had a slap on the wrist,
the logic from articles 14 and 66 for which they got the top fines also included
kicked out why was this not implemented?
Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew?
I heard it was Neil Lennon.
What do you get when you fall in love?

Is there anybody going to listen to my story?
I heard it was Neil Lennon
Who’s gonna tell you when It’s too late?
I heard it was Neil Lennon.
Guess who just got back today?
I heard it was Neil Lennon.
who ate all the pies ?
i heard it was, er, FPLG
Catastrophic global climate change caused by Lennon, Neil F.
-Fact!
I notice the daily announcements about the rangers fighting fund have stopped.
I take it the donations dried up after they hit £300,000.
Stupid huns…
If Rangers do survive the season and can compete in the SPL next year will they have enough youngsters to field a team in the SPL and the under 20 league?
Poor youngsters will be knackered with all the games they have to play!
