Since Corinthians FC gave up the good fight football has largely been a brutish game. Even those supporters, who are unable to raise a limb with anything approaching athletic guile, often talk a brutish game. Now, in Scotland, the accountancy geeks are having their day.
The mere mention of the word ‘taxation’ has ears pricking up while the entire corporate accountancy system is now as much of the daily lexicon of football fans as the Laws of the Game. I reckon the law geeks will have their day soon.
I’d never heard of the crime ‘uttering’ until yesterday, now it’s all I hear from my Edinburgh sources. Uttering can broadly be defined as using a document you know to be forged. Don’t worry, it has nothing to do with Our Hero, just an observation for you.
On other matters, still no word from the SFA on the scope of their investigation into Rangers, or the position of their president relating to this matter. When respected mainstream journalists are making unchallenged assertions about improper registration of players, the SFA cannot choose to ignore these events. We know they are aware of the allegations, we know the allegations relate to the period when the SFA president was involved with Rangers. We just don’t know if the SFA are doing anything about them. A statement confirming that no one is immune from investigation would be a start.

_____RANGERS FANS WORKING GROUP STATEMENT
Firstly, the RFWG would like to go on record in thanking the supporters for their excellent backing of the team not only in the last couple of weeks but during the entire season. We have been heavily praised for our behaviour by the club’s security team, the Match Commander, FoCUS, and at meetings of the JAG at the Scottish Parliament. We are the most proactive supporters in Scotland when it comes to dealing with supporter behaviour, and we should be rightly proud of our achievements in this area.
These have also been very difficult times for all Rangers supporters and it was inevitable that there would be a lot of raw emotion at our first match since going into administration, a match that we managed to sell out completely even though the 10 point penalty basically wrote off our chances of retaining the SPL title for a 4th consecutive season. We discussed this with the club security and Match commander last Friday before the match and we were all happy that the match passed generally without incident, which given the circumstances was again a credit to the Rangers supporters.
The atmosphere was electric at the recent match against Kilmarnock, and the capacity crowd backed the team both before and throughout the match in great spirits, despite the way the result fell for us. Given the above, it has come as some surprise to hear that we are to be investigated by the SPL for offensive chanting at that match for one or two minor incidents out of the entire match. Even more amazingly given that the SPL have chosen not to investigate other clubs, Celtic especially, for their deeply offensive and sectarian chanting and singing. We can happily provide the SPL with a list of their offensive singing and chanting over recent weeks and asking why there has been no further investigations against that club, given they were warned earlier this season for the very same thing.
We have therefore written to Neil Doncaster at the SPL to ask for a meeting to discuss the recent events, as all we have asked for from the outset is a level playing field where every club is treated equally, and we as Rangers fans are having difficulty seeing the equality in recent events.
Whilst saying all this, we do not condone the small number of isolated incidents of offensive chanting at our match last weekend, and we are sure that our supporters will ensure that no repeat of such incidents take place at our upcoming matches.______

The £1m a month figure they referred to, was I believe the monthly PAYE/NI bill. Lazy journalism at best! I am trusting that the Adminstrators will be paying tax unlike the Huns.
Jobo Q2: What day in March is the February payroll due? :-)

Has Duffield ever did well in a job? He blames everyone else.
Was he in Brazil recently planning an escape route? How embarrassing was all that bluff and bluster, linking with clubs in S. America.
We all knew it would end badly for him again…back to the BBC and baby sitting the auld yins then.
Now if Syrups could talk,that would be a Syrup with many a Tale to Tell..
Can a Syrup testify against its Owner ?

RANGERS WAGES WERE ALWAYS PAID ON THE LAST THURSDAY OF THE MONTH.
Today might have been the last ever.
Typical of the heathens to have a final blowout the day after Ash Wednesday!

Nice of them to put some money in to our pockets!

Huns moaning about our hero have a feckin cheek.
They moaned about Lloyds that much they just said ok

So Smith has gone. And Ali Russell, “global brand development” executive.
I have little sympathy for these guys, they will swan into other cushy highly-renumerated jobs, like they always do. But I do have sympathy for the dozens of ordinary workers at Ibrox who must now surely see that a tsunami not of their making is about to hit them.
Meanwhile “Sir” David – architect of the biggest corporate failure in Scotland outside RBS and the Darien Scheme – remains touchingly unquestioned by our MSM…
Zbyszek.
I’m not very good at facebook.
I can’t imagine a horse in Babbity Bowsters,if you had mentioned a Pink Elephant I would have agreed with you,I’ve also seen Bears in the vicinity of Ibrox.
Has anyone got a photo of a bald Gordy Smith before he started wearing the Higland Jig?

Untouched and unchanged..god bless them
God give me strength! Sally the hero time.
seems that Whytie did not actually sell the Arsenal shares, following an insider tip he swapped them for shares in the Parkhead Jelly and Ice Cream Company
So Farewell then

Notthebus,
Did that statement really call for a level playing field?
Don’t understand the concept of irony, do they?
Well, another day another side-splitting “revelation”! Rangers predicament is the gift that just keeps giving. My and my new pals, Ben and Gerry, just can’t get enough. Like me, you may have Brain Freeze from all the J&IC but it doesn’t come close to the pain the Huns are experiencing. HAPPY DAYS!!!
Celtic fans pledging money to Rankers very commendable lol
how are the rangers team getting to Inverness,fleet of cars,cant afford the B and B Overnight.Thinking ahead Dont you think

SUPERSTAR!
Thank you,kind sir.

I am not sure if we are seeing a bit of Ludge on Ludge action.
Not sure the background and affiliations of CW.
However it would appear that he is not a member of a Scottish Ludge.
However one thing is for sure he is not a member of the SFA / SPL Ludge.
Looking at who gets what job and what write up WS / GS are past masters.
Another Ludge with SPL connections is the SFW’s with Jabba aka JT at the head of it.
Then you have the MIB / SR Ludge to make up the unholy trinity.
I think DM is a honorary member of all three.
However I think all three are a bit blue collar for a man of his sophistication.
He might have been in a middle class Ludge at one time but I think all his efforts are now going into keeping his membership of the Speculative Society.

That is the funniest thing i have read on a very very funny day.
Have just pledged £1000 of my hard earned to saverangers – a small price to pay for the joy the club has given me over the past 9 days.
Oh, and I asked some of the Loyal Bears over here in Norway to do the same.
So Nø Pøpeofrøme, Åas Ut Thewindæ, Ghetoot the Bergenbowl and Geet Yeesawtaeføkk (she is half Dutch) have rallied round the flag with pledges of considerable value as well, I am delighted to say.
This whole SS Ibrox disaster is like one of these out of date necrotic onions you get at the bottom of the veg tray in the fridge…the more layers come off the worse the stink & stench of decay and the worse it looks – what rank horror lies at the core of it all? Has anyone the balls to look beyond those festering rinds at the surface?
I think some investigator will uncover some hidden vault somewhere in ibrox populated by the Beast of the Apocalypse.
