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?

Will we now be playing rangers bhoys club in the future given that they can’t sign anyone over the age of 18. I’ve asked this before but does anyone know if we had the ticket money up front for Sunday or will that just be added to the 40k they already owe us.

Anyone check out the Aberdeen forum recently?

Gave me a chuckle. Fair play to the sheep!

I reckon that no matter what happens on Sunday at the final whistle we should soothe the frazzled hun nerves with a wee bit of classical music, something calming, soothing and likely to send them home in a less stressed frame of mind
So “Time to say Goobye” by Andrea Bocelli it is then
paul 67, hate to haro on about this but this post from rtc says it better,
Couple of comments from a poster on RTC:
“Just noticed that rangers fine for breaching rule 66 was a fine of £100,000 but the sanction in the protocol is £100,000 And termination of membership.
So is it chocolate box application of maximum sanction seems like it.
No need for spl additional contract investigation result,if the Sfa applied their own protocol to the letter.”
and
“Just noticed rangers breach of rule 14 brought a fine of £50000, judicial panel protocol dictates it should be £50000 And termination of membership.
So in two instances ie rule 14 and rule 66 were the sanction is termination the judicial panel have not applied their protocol.
Does not say maybe termination could be termination
It says And termination.”
i repeat they have been wrist slapped and we need more focus on why these rules have not been implemented, i cannot understand why this has not been the real headline.

I would guess that those who took the 75% pay cut will either agree to extend pay cut (highly unlikely) or be made redundant. They will not be able to afford to pay them their full contract wage.
Liquidation, and they are free to go anyway.
If SFA stick with embargo then their team for next season (if they exist) will come from players currently registered with them and most probably very few of current first team squad.

good catch ta.
traffic chaos sunday as people wont know the new road layout.
Thinking of putting the Christmas tree up.
rangers in administration, the gift that keeps on giving…
Aw Naw
If that happens he will go anyway.
This is not about Regan or Rangers, it is about what kind of principiles we as a society wish to live our lives by.
If those principles are overturned for money, those who believe in the principles can and will vote with their feet.
What price a season ticket now? All the years of rain, snow, gael force winds. That sinking feeling when you realise your seat’s wet just as you sit down. That overpriced cardboard disguised as pizza. Burning your mouth on superheated coffee but not realising for 10 minutes cos your face was numb. Staying to the end even though the game was meaningless or we got beat. Sleet. What was it, -9 degrees against ICT last winter. Trudging home in the dark with water squidging between your toes cos the council couldn’t be bothered fixing the roads & pavements.
All worth it. All worth it to get that grandstand view of the last game v them. 5 stars no more. Go home no more. We arra peepil no more.
What price a season ticket now.

PS Dear Santa, pls keep them going for one more week.
A witness has come forward to tell Scotland Yard that Mr.Lennon was with her on the night of the Great Train Robbery.

Bye Bye Rangers? Yip.
Rangers are the carcass of a dead female elephant.
The lions, hyenas, jackals and vultures are just about finished with her.
In reality only bones remain. The fact that her cubs wish she was still alive and can remember what she used to look like was does not change that reality.

You’re right. There are questions which will never be asked
Ex-hun players, directors etc. appear on TV all the time safe in the knowledge that no ‘news-hound’ will ever ask – did you have an EBT?
I’d like to hear “John, I’m only dancing” by David Bowie being played at CP.

Reports coming in from Alaska that documents washed up on a beach
confirm that the tsunami of 2011 was indeed caused by Neil Lennon.
Two Sky guys just came to my door, like Jehovah’s Witnesses, but offering a SkyPlus box instead of a Watchtower.
I asked them if it was true that Sky were insisting on four games between us and Rangers per season, regardless of the rules of the game, for their new TV deal for Scottish football is to go ahead. I live in NW England. They didn’t know anything about it. They said they never watch SkySports. One of them said he didn’t like sport. He then said that the package had Indy car racing too.
At least the Jehovah’s Witnesses have a wee go.
Jack the Rippers identity finally revealed! Police claim that a ginger hair found at the scene of crime is not a plant!

“This is the same Dark Mingwall that banned any poster on FF who dared to suggest that maybe the blogs suggesting CW wasn’t kosher might be correct.”
The same joker who met Craig Whyte at least four times, as noted on the RST website, and never thought of asking him any difficult questions – because deluded Dingwall thought he could slither his way on to the Huns board as a supporters representative.
The brass-neck on this clown is incredible.

If the game goes ahead on Sunday it will be viewed by a world wide tv audience and so the only sensible song would be the old Cliff Richard favourite
” Administration then Liquidation, I want the world to know I’m happy as can be ” sung over and over again.
News just in on Reuters – The FBI are now saying that Neil Lennon was the second gunman on the grassy knoll
this “Whytey banned from all Scottish fitba” gig –
whats the story ?
what does that mean exactly ?
is he now, coz SFA say-so, no longer the big boss ?
zat him papped oot ?
Any last requests Mr Lennon ?- “aye,jelly and ice cream”

The licensing rules also give the SFA powers they have not used.
The sanction applied is akin to giving them a sword they can fall on and if they had any brains they would fall on it.
But when your cry is no surrender somebody else usually ends up doing the slaying.
It least it just was’nt fines.
OG Rafferty,
