Point of order. Steven Davis has not decided to leave Rangers. Kyle Lafferty did not leave Rangers. Jamie Ness, Steven Whittaker, Steven Naismith, Shauny Aluko and Rhys McCabe did not leave Rangers in some insurrection of Stevens-and-friends-with-odd-names.
All have chosen to remain employees of Rangers Football Club PLC and (reportedly) objected to transfer to Sevco 5088. Loyal to the end, heroes to the jersey, despite how this is being reported elsewhere. The administrators currently managing Rangers Football Club PLC may soon issue all of the above with redundancy notices, but until then, the players will sit tight.
Sevco don’t need these guys anyway, they’ve 19 targets, several of whom have been busy at the Euros, ready to sign-on.
And how could I forget about Gattuso? We’re in trouble when that lot arrive, guys!

Yep – Armed forces day which just like Poppy Day is growing out from a ‘day’ to a larger chunk of time
No harm in it- don’t want to start a ‘days’ debate or anything!
Whoops
A helpful intervention
11:45 am …”As a Scotsman – although patriotism is less important to one than supporting the Glorious Glasgow Rangers …” Ryan Dunne.
12:10 pm …Here’s Alec McAulay: “Surely it’s time for Ryan Dunne (11.45pm) to transfer his allegiance from the Glorious Glasgow Rangers to Super Sevco 5088?”

This will need completely ripped up and rewritten even if Large Snags Grow FC are to be readmitted.
Hail Hail
New company registered last Thursday Rangers 2012 according to RM
It’s weird as hell having a drink with one side of the mouth numb from the dentist.
With the demise of hun fc do you think the statistics dressed up as football related violence will now have to be recorded as what they actually religiously motivated violence.
Any truth in the rumour that the wee 9 year old girl that was bottled down Govan way, not a stones throw from Ibrokes, had the bumble bee strip on??? Just not reported yet???
Hmmmmm!!!
Should the zombies be knocked back by the SFL to even enter at Division 3, what is the next level down for a West of Scotland club? There are South of Scotland, East of Scotland and Highland leagues and below that the Juniors leagues, but what does the West have?? Would it be straight to theJjuniors?
Surely a typo on RM in response to the question ‘What if there is no Rangers in time for 2012/2013?’:
‘We trawl the world playing friendless’

I spent quite a few hours in the company of John Brown at Hahn airport. He was coaching the youths … Adams, Hughes etc. about 10 years ago
I found him to be a very genial guy I must admit. Not like his on field persona at all but If you are as thick as pig shit it makes sense to be nice.

Perhaps they’re finally getting the wake organised?
new article posted.
Naismith, Whittaker, McGreggor & Davis- all IMO decent players with a combined value of £10m easily…
I suspect they will find clubs. If they don’t I wouldn’t discount a career in acting (Hun musical?)…
Naismith and Whittaker cut pretty forlorn figures the other night. The looked gutted – Whittaker was particularly convincing..I almost started to believe it.
Not a bad act given they have just been stouter for 75% of their salaries. Given they are probably going to pocket £1m plus improved wages by getting away from Ibrokes?
I’d say those boys have talent.. Real acting talent…
Just listening to an old Mary Hopkins song on the radio there,Those were the days my friend.Used to sing it at Celtic Park in the 60´s.
Anyone remember the Chorus ?
Die die die die ya hun
Die die die die ya hun
etc.
Well it´s come home to roost all these years later.
Hail Hail.
Had a wee chat with a hun at work, happened to mention to him that Nick Griffin had came out in support of his now dead club
Now this was fly dig at him number 441 , but was quite surprised by the reply that i got, he said,
been waiting on him saying something, because a lot a guys I know have been emailing him to tell him about what is happening up here, we all went to his meeting a few years back in a pub on paisley rd west , he has a lot of support from us
now this guy is not the sharpest knife in the box but, really
daftest people on the planet
When you hear the Prime Prevaricator,the dishonourable Claggeron,speak…you just know where the NHS is headed: charity wards. Welcome to the imminent return of The Knights Hospitaler. How far back does this despicable un-mandated coalition want to take us?
Apologies for going off-message,but this UKplc govt. makes me froth at the gills.
And the whole carry-on with rfc(ghosted) is a reflection of the corruption in the upper echelons of our bankster/gangster economy and society.
It’s like the post-war reforms and improvements were all one big anomaly that is being ‘corrected’ and binned.
And yet only 15% of the cuts set out in this fake austerity have yet been implemented.
Madness I tell ya,madness.

I think that is a very legitimate question, similar to one I asked on here last week. Forming a company is a whole lot easier than forming a football club, at any level, but what right does that give you to join the Scottish Football League? None that I can see.

FROM PIGEON TO SUPERMAN AND BACK AGAIN
Adam Curtis | 16:53 PM, Tuesday, 16 November 2010
I am fascinated by the group David Cameron has set up in No.10, called The Behavioural Insights Unit. I think it is evidence of a massive shift that is just beginning in British politics which will change the way politicians govern and manage the rest of us.
Tony Blair believed in a consumerist idea of democracy. He used focus groups to try and find out what people wanted as a way of shaping policy (except, of course, over Iraq). Like Mrs Thatcher, he believed that the people knew best. They expressed their desires and wants clearly through the market. And politics, he believed, should imitate this.
The Behavioural Insights Team believe the opposite. That in many cases you can’t trust the people. That if you let them just follow their desires they will often do things that are bad both for themselves and for society.
This doesn’t mean you get rid of the market. Instead governments should find ways to manipulate ordinary peoples’ feelings and desires so they “choose” to do the right thing.
Behind this are the ideas of what is called Behavioural Economics. They were popularised by a book called “Nudge” written by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein.
The idea of “nudging” citizens to do the right thing sounds cute. But in reality it marks the return of a powerful psycho-political theory that rose up in the mid-20th century. It was called Behaviourism. And it was hated by both the right and the left.
Behaviourism’s most famous exponent was an American psychologist called B. F. Skinner who was an idealist and a utopian. He believed that his techniques of behaviour modification could be used to create a completely new kind of world.
In the 1960s and 70s Skinner became a controversial figure. Students in America and Britain protested wherever he spoke.
The reason was that Skinner showed just how easy it was to manipulate and change human behaviour. He called it “operant conditioning”. Skinner used pigeons to demonstrate how you simply “reinforced” the behaviour you wanted with rewards.
And humans, Skinner said, are just like pigeons.
The Downing Street unit uses a lot of language from contemporary brain science but their fundamental ideas come from Skinner’s pigeons.
***********************************************************
Isn’t one of the upper classes favourite past times pigeon shooting?
There you go: solve the unemployment crisis by using crack teams of aristocrats with shotguns to shoot all the benefits scroungers for “sport”.
The rest of England is being bought by the rich and turned into a vast pheasant shooting estate anyway, they might as well add the housing estates and chavs/neds/unemployed etc to the list of “game”?

Interesting stuff. Ta!
Skinner became utterly discredited as did ‘behaviourism’…..he even put his own kids in cages to modify their behaviour,ffs. The Claggeron seems very fond of these Yankee pseudo-sciences. Some of them even give respect to creationism. They like,too,all the new ways of defining people with mental illnesses…i.e. anti- authority? You must be sick….chemical cosh for you.
If you’re rich,you’re a harmless eccentric. If you’re poor,you’re a dangerous lunatic.
And their ‘stars’,like Gove,Smith,Landsley,Grayling et al are froth-at-the-mouth fascists. No wonder the BNP & EDL are less active….their cheerleaders are in power.
As for the running dog lickspittle ‘lib dems’? Incredibubbble.
HH!

I think you are wrong and the have left. Under TUPE an employee can give notice that they are not transferring and this is terminates their contract with the existing company without penalty and without having to give notice.
