It’s less than four days since the SFA, SPL and SFL chief executives met at Hampden to devise a plan to destroy and rebuild Scottish football within three weeks, coincidentally, allowing a Newco access to the second tier of the Scottish league pyramid.
Just as the SPL clubs rejected Neil Doncaster’s strong advocacy that they co-opt Newco directly into the top tier, Scottish Football League clubs are already showing an unwillingness to be boxed into a corner.
Before today’s meeting of the SFL board Raith Rovers have already pinned their colours to the mast, “the board of directors of Raith Rovers FC is unanimous in its view that we shall certainly not cast our vote in favour of any integrated plan that in our view compromises sporting integrity by involving the admission of any ‘Newco’ directly into Division One”.
Earlier this year Raith were caused considerable cost and inconvenience after Rangers manager, Ally McCoist, publicly demanded to know the identities of the SFA Judicial Panel who penalised the club for not paying social taxes. Rangers already knew that a Rovers director was on the panel.

Mort,
“It’s very difficult to speculate without knowing the facts.”
Thats the silliest thing you’ve written today
Paul ,
The time has come for the clubs to remind these officials that they are merely officials and do not make policy.
Some of them, viz. Reagan and Doncaster, have already done enough damage to Scottish football. It is the clubs who make policy!

My money’s on a Mark III Rangers XR3i with a Blaupunkt stereo and cloverleaf alloys. (thumbsup)

CLOVERLEAF alloys!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think so

The will goad Celtic into further continued silence, the more they goad the more silent Celtic will become.
greenjedi – CLOVERLEAF alloys!!!!!!!!!!!
Aye, to be fair, if Rangers was a car, it’d currently be up on bricks and on fire. (thumbsup)
Karma is the most beautiful maiden in all the universe.

No one possesses her.
She is free
Unshackled by Time

Beautiful symmetry.
Her presence is heralded

celticrollercoaster supporting wee Oscar on 25 June, 2012 at 22:52 said:
Evening Bhoys & Ghirls, just a wee update
Today, we launched our “Small Change for us, Big Change for Oscar” campaign to raise some necessary funds for Oscar. This campaign is fully endorsed and supported by the family.
The campaign will ask you to save your small loose change 1p ,2p,5p and 20p (well I know I am pushing it, but it is a small coin) over the next ten weeks. We are also asking that you get your family, friends and workplace to assist with this, so that we can maximise the funds raised and publicise Oscar’s need for help.
Our Go live date is Monday 2nd July, however, you can start now and get a heads start
I set out this afternoon looking for 50 CQNers to join me in this quest to help wee Oscar. Already, we have 19 fab volunteers, so we just need 31 more CQNers to join in before Monday . Are you game for a challenge?
The Team so Far (thanks lads, will be in touch soon!)

Im just seeing this now everyone.
Thank you so so much to everyone helping out.
I am genuinely touched by the efforts of complete strangers jumping in the help the wee man.
It has been crazy this last few days, kicking off a fundraising campaign is hard work!!!! Constantly on twitter & responding to emails, revising posters, drawing up large signage banners, small web banners, etc etc.
I think im running on adrenaline!!!
Good luck and i’ll drop back in soon! :-)

More likely to be an XR3 with a Phillips 8 track tape player and plastic wheel trims held in place with black cable ties.
Ah, goalie talk! My favourite.
I like Big Fraser, but I’m losing patience with him. I hope he signs for us, but if ’twere done, ’twere well ’twere done quickly. (Which is not to say that I am suggesting we stab him.)
If he goes elsewhere, I won’t panic. I like Big Lukasz. But I wouldn’t ask him to be goalie, reserve goalie and third choice goalie all at once…
Fraser Foster back at Newcastle ,Neil Lennon should put that one to bed, fraser u had your chance,so good luck and good -bye
philvisreturns
Nope, but will have a look now.
Mort
Ogilvie needs to resign…..before he’s dragged off in handcuffs. Doncaster & Regan need to resign as they are compromised by Ogilvie.
Green needs to go away because he is compromised by Whyte,who’s in the same boat as Ogilvie.
Minty should probably get himself to a country with no extradition treaty.
The whole cabal surrounding rfc(dead) are in deep trouble.
The hun is extinct. A pointless beast with no focus.

Btw,I really hope we keep Big Vic W. I do admire the fella greatly!
HH!
Forster deal appears to be still possible. Matt McGlone just tweeted that it’s only periferal stuff that needs working on.
FF =Fraser Foster
FFF = Fickle Football Fans more fickle than the fickle finger of fate.
What I don’t get with this reconstruction is the SPL payment:
“A merger between the SFL and Scottish Premier League, a one-off payment from the SPL and a promotion play-off from the First Division are on the agenda. ”
So if the the rangers get into the SFL, the SPL clubs would provide some additional payment for taking on this mess. wtf!

Do you think Chuck will be calling round to make sure salaries can be paid on Thursday?
Damn lost an r
Time for Lenny to contact The Holy Goalie to see if he fancies another few championship medals and another shot at the champions league.
Failing that get Craig Gordon.
Silver City 1888
Yet there are many who deride the media on one hand yet lap up any minor negative against our club or one of our players.
Shameful
Mort
Complete self- flaggelation? Hope am up wind when that goes off!!
If big Fraser is back at Newcastle, he must be shopping or visiting friends and family. Newcastle United start pre-season training on July 5.

Said tweet :matt mcglone@MattMcGlone9
Some inaccurate reports doing the rounds that Forster has knocked Celtic back.Not true.Deal is very much on with odds n ends of deal to sort
With OldCo under police investigation for, among other things, trading while insolvent, does anyone believe Sevco would dare attempt to . . . er . . . trade while insolvent?

I understand that the Ecuadorian government are reporting 4 asylum seekers have been taken into their London embassy this afternoon
Loving how the SPL clubs have been lining up to ‘knock back’ the huns over the last few days and I’m looking forward to the little clubs forming an orderly queue to do likewise to the lepers from Govan.
Has anyone heard from the dungmaster recently? I would be interested in hearing his view at this crucial time.
He has had plenty to say up to now. I’m sure it;s just a coincidence that he’s gone quiet just at the time our league’s members have decided to express views that appear to contradict his earlier advice!
What a plank!

Og must Go reversing out of Hampden backwards to protect his rear
Doncaster has lost all credibility and has shown no sign of understanding the ethics and morality required to keep football and business in balance.
Regan I would give the balance of the doubt to out of my good heart but my bad heart says he would make a good whistle blower in pleading his defense.
Babies n bathwater n that. ;)

Sent a donation last night but cant see it on the chart. Might be summit to do with the RBS prob. Sent it abt 11ish.
Mort,
Who has mentioned the meeja, had the keeper wanted to be here, he’d be here. Two years the club have been clear they want him, following him about like a love sick slapper, I don’t need the meeja to form a negative opinion, just observation of the facts 2 times now we have tried to sign him and he’s still messing us about.

Mort. I’ve always liked him. He wasn’t perfect but positives far outweighed the negatives. I’m sure Neil saw his potential more than most. The fact we didn’t make a serious attempt to buy him last year was a missed oportunity. We can hardly complain if he’s looking to make more money having gone a long way to becoming the player he was always going to be.

Not sure about that…but many a hun will be fortifying their denial with industrial scale solvent abuse…no doubt supplimented by their daily medicinal of bucky & their methadone prescription.
