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?

“Cosgrove tells it as it is on C4 news …………howeverrrr he is a no friend of Celtic- fact.”
That makes his comments worth more currency in my opinion. As I said earlier, fair play to him for telling it like it is.

Add Packie Bonner to your list of good guys.

Barca’s problem tonight was that they didn’t have a big, in your face, target man/striker to use as a Plan B when Plan A obviously wasn’t working.
==============
They needed a Tommy Gemmell tonight.
What did you think of the SFA’s decision Ally:
Abshoe-lutely shockingly shocking…I really, really, really mean that- make no bones about it…firsht and foremosht: WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE. Let me tell you thish: They are not the people PEOPLE. This is a Draculonian decision…and like everyone elshe: our supporters, neutrals, our supporters…neutraIs…I am shtaggeringly shtaggered by its sheer shtaggerosity…make no mishtake about it these people murdered ush by kicking ush to death…make no bones about it…maybe, just maybe, we will fight this decision…but you jusht don’t know…you really don’t…we are innocent, like Jesus, except better… we have not done anything wrong and yet we are being punished for doing nothing…my hands are tied. I can’t even scratch my face, even though its dead itchy…because I have absolutely no hands. The SFA are not helping us. They need to help us. Help… Help…. Help us…these people are enjoying this like a dominatrix with a whip on her hands…but we will appeal it…appeal….help us…appeal….help…appeal it…yayayayaya…feel it…feel it like a kick tae the swinging wrinkly twins…we, the players, the fans, the players…the fans, are being continually booted in the yam bag by every tom dick and harry from all possible directions…and make no mishtake: it is shore getting kicked in the little boys in the basement…it really ish…all I can shay ish we need somebody daft enough- preferably a feeble minded billionaire who wants to be ashoe-she-ated with a world famoushly intolerant and shect-arian organisation like ourshelves….

Glad to add Packie to the short list. He also has a much more pleasing speaking voice than most.
Did ye hear which Irish county has the sexiest accent?
Number One
So how does it work now?
Chelsea fans riot in Munich and blame the Huns…
Barca looked tired tonight, and emotionally gubbed after the Real game.
Their spirit was poor, and in turn their movement and creativity suffered.
But they still dominated completely, with Messi hitting the woodwork twice.
On another night one would have gone in, and the Torres breakaway goal would never have happened.
Still, it did happen, and that’s what keeps us coming back for more.

I had the same thought last weekend listening to Radio Scotland with John Robertson providing a very pro-Hearts interpretation of the game events and, to my mind, having a real unfair go at Neil Lennon.
I thought he had a real unfair go at Alan Thompson after his interview and he was very calm and very fair, considering how angry he was. Robertson was really bitter and way out of order.
I’m sure I saw Ally stand up raising his hunds up in the air and then moving them down towards his side in 3 distinct movements.
MWD
Iki.
Spot on my thoughts exactly.
Long time voyeur seldom poster. Have enjoyed most of the discussions on here but cannot help feeling that the powers that be ( SFA/SNP/SPL) all seem to be stating same thing, they cannot fail !!!
Our real trust must come in forces outside of the ‘best wee country’, in the press ( AT in Ch 4 ) and UEFA monitoring actions, sad but true. Even if the truth and associated recompense comes to fruition I would still not be of the belief it is being done to clean up our game by the Scottish authorities, rather that the authorities want to be seen to be doing the right thing by those looking in.
SFTB
Aye, the accent and the dancing eyes.
Sigh…
Cheers Kingoh ,
at least i know that you’ll never disappoint me !
I’ll set them up , you put them in the back of the net
appears to be all-quiet on the Bill ‘I’m gonna build an indoor sports complex in govan’ Miller front. His prospective bid will now have to include a successful appeal clause. This is as well as the ‘Ally’ clause and the ‘SPL’ clause, unfortunately for Jardine there is no ‘Sandy’ clause.

I wonder what Ally was feeling so guilty about during his interview.
Head tilted back but loads of looking down to the right.
I’m no eye body language expert but I’d say he is feeling some inner turmoil during his well scripted orchestrated interview.

MWD ,
simples really. He was looking for the organ grinder.

————————————————
he was cursing the day he said ‘…we don’t do walking away’ and wondering just how he was going to get tae eff out of it and back to ‘A question of Sport’. Hence ‘…who’s on the panel…?’
MWD
That was an interview for rangers fans.
So Sally said what they wanted to hear.
Looking down to the right… And from his facial expressions…
He was genuinely emotional and looking for words to express his feelings.
I managed to feel sorry for him, and my good friend Ian.
Whether they would for me in a similar situation, well I hope Ian would.
Not so sure about Sally…

I dare you to go on to FF or RM and read the absolute filth that they write and then come back on here and say you feel sorry for Ally McCoist or anyone to do with them.
Stuart Cosgrove?
An objective, intelligent voice who cuts through the spin? Aye maybe!
Or a hypocrite who feeds the dumbing down of the punters and power of a lazy scottish sports media via BBC Scotland? Aye probably.
Two voices for two audiences. He might be a ch4′executive, or once was, but his ‘comedy’ show stoked the fires of sectarianism under the flag of ‘banter’. And helped perpetuate lazy, sycophantic media types.
Reilly1926
I have read enough from those forums, posted on here, and have seen the hate in their eyes first hand.
I don’t want to ever see it again, but I will.
But I will also see guys like my mate Ian, who I think is thoroughly decent.
Oor Sally I don’t know, I think he’s a wind up merchant though, and deliberately got to Neil that day.
I don’t like him.
But I don’t hate him, and I did feel sorry for him there.
So shoot me.
Fat swallys interview in a nut shell….
Who are these 3 people who made the (correct) decision
Let the public see them
Put these people in fear of their own and families safety and this decision wouldn’t have happened !!!!
1 step more than watties “mr murphy” quote !
Gentlemen the media say !
Ally is in the same mould as the rest of the animals that follow his club!

Do you remember Robertson when his support and their sectarian chants tarnished the silence for the John Paul II’s death?
‘I mean … they’ve goat their songs and we’ve goat oors.’
Creepy wee man.
pauloantony , agree 100%
there is ‘something of the night’ of someone who wants to expose members of a confidential panel when they know that to do so could/would bring strife to that panel member.
To judge a man , walk a mile in his shoes .

Estadio, excellent as ever.
I think the huns have finally progressed into stage 2 of their grieving process.
They are no longer in denial. Anger has descended onto their already perma-raging mindset. But they need an outlet to vent their fury, a target, someone to blame.
(ultimately they have brought this on themselves but that’s stage 5 and there’s a long way to go yet)
“Who are these people?” cries Ally
“How could they?” he means.
“How dare they!”
As the masking effects of denial and isolation begin to wear, reality and its pain re-emerge. We are not ready. (aye) The intense emotion is deflected from our vulnerable core, redirected and expressed instead as anger. The anger may be aimed at inanimate objects, complete strangers, friends or family.
Boycott! March! Protest! No Surrender!….Who are these people?!
They are in a volatile state right now. Confusion from who to believe, who to follow, as the support is cracked into many factions makes their anger ever more dangerous. Who is the enemy? Now is not the time for questions now is the time to show our disgust at not being treated a superior entity.
“Don’t you know who we are? We are the peepil” Who are these people?”
Don’t find yourself alone folks, especially as darkness descends and the hun stirs. The bears have awoken and they are angry.

Picked this up from the beeb article on Aunt Sally and Laughing Boy
“”I also know his agent and his previous agent have been speaking to a Championship manager down south, which I’m not sure is allowed.
“I think he has been winding us up the wrong way and the supporters and, certainly, the players deserve a lot, lot better from one of their own.”
So , he’s planning his escape route , then ?
Not so much walking away , as tunnelling.

I’ll not be shooting anyone mate. You’re entitled to your opinion like everyone on here.
Super Pally looked shell shocked in that interview with Jim White apprentice Lindsay Herron. Questions put to him by Herron were enlightening with respect to victim status, getting booted and kicked, and inviting appeals for fairness.
Not one word about The Mint, the Big Tax Case or EBT’s. Not one.
It has been said the easiest person to lie to is yourself…. Hmmm!
Nah I’m glad Chelsea won. Another Latin sense of entitlement blown away. Good.
Now Real Madrid will expect their Latin sense of entitlement to kick in.
I hope Bayern finsih them off. If not then Latin entitlement for what ? the 10th time
as there is no way this will be the first London European cup victory especially for these London huns.

Portsmouth Debt = 1% of Hun Debt.
SFA cannot “help” the huns any more than they have for the past 140 years if they want to preserve their owns jobs. Hence the appealable sanctions. I dont remember any one stepping into to help Celtic other than Fergus McCann. Maybe some Celtic supporters who didnt give Fergus the credit he deserved should suggest Fergus buys the huns to make a few bob. Lets see who Fergus’s inheritors do when this is all over. That’s what interests me the most.
