The world looked so different for Scottish Football League chief executive, David Longmuir, back in March. He convinced half of the member clubs to reject a deal which would earn them considerably more money next season, while enjoying the accolades of Rangers International chief exec, Charles Green.
Green remains a controlling director of Rangers International, but Longmuir’s actions infuriated First Division clubs, who have now applied to join the SPL, furious at his attempts to subvert them earning what many see as crucial income next season.
To suggest Longmuir acted in the interests of one Third Division club to the considerable detriment of all First Division clubs would be stating the obvious. These shenanigans still go on in Scottish football, even now, after all that happened last year, but it is reassuring that the overwhelming majority of voices have, again, said, ‘On your (boardroom) bike’. We are rapidly becoming one of the least corrupt countries football is played in the world. Good luck to all in the First Division.
I read the leaked document, Rangers (sic): the way forward, yesterday afternoon. It was so ludicrously lacking in anything which remotely resembled substance I assumed the leak was an attempt to discredit Charles Green. Then I heard BBC’s Chris McLaughlin say it was Green himself behind the leak. The fact that the Rangers International director categorically recognised the club is lumbered with a lame manager hardly passes for insight. The document was embarrassingly inept.
“The team will work for each other and press the opponents when not in possession.
“Most of all, players will come off the park knowing that they have done their best.”
In a high-level policy document this is cringeworthy.

Great word – well done!
Where are you?

Makes me angry that the likes of Patterson is allowed to spout utter nonsense like the deady bears should be allowed into the SPL2 because of the crowds they attract. Crass rubbish, especially as they won’t be around come next season, pleas Ghod.
Good advert for football from the 6 occupied.

I’ll second that. I despise the man.
RFC blueprint: ‘players will no longer receive written contracts as the paper is worth more’
Nothing McCoist could say or do could make me despise him any more than I already do. He’s a sneaking coward of a man playing to his knuckledragging gallery for effect. His actions in asking for the independent panel to be named was nothing short of sinister. He knew he could rely on the “kilwinning assassin” element of his support to take his lead and apply the intimidation to the panel members.
Thankfully, with guys like Turnbull Hutton that doesn’t cut the mustard.
I sincerely hope he’s still bumbling around managing and failing until the last dieing acts of this eextended pantomime.

Good article except for your assertion that Scottish football is one of the least corrupt, my opinion is the opposite.
I rarely disagree Paul, something not right there bud.

Lennybhoy…
I see he says he is seething and plotting.
How interesting
Paul nice one.
‘Longshanks’ on yer way son, remember always get the job in writing before burning bridges, stupid boy, you had potential just like Regan before the Cabal got him and you willingly joined.
SFL hopefully will be part timers, with 10 SPL & 12 SPL 2 teams as McLeishs report not Longmuir/Gilmour& Green Dupe Agenda.
Haha yer stuffed and Im so happy….
A salutary lesson for Celtic today in the Irish Cup final.
C’ville were on the beach in their heads, at least, that’s what it looked like.
Glens looked a far leaner, fitter team.
No one on the pitch that would get anyway near a Celtic jersey, I’m afraid.
TALLYBHOY
About half an hour away and choking for a fag
Two since 9am…….
Still,I reckon my Dad got me onto the correct one so all good….
Waverley was awkward though
Blindfolds, colour of blue, shall be made of the finest Ovis yarn.
How about adding this to the rangers blueprint.
Former players will not comment on the future of The Rangers in the press as there is a clear conflict of interest.
LENNYBHOY
Too right,bud.
November though so plenty of time to enjoy yourself first, haha!
Those blessed, selected few shall be renumerated only in love for yacht mooring is more expensive than you think.
If they get to a European Final by 2020 – they hope to be sponsored by Voltswagen!
ACGR,
Well said about fat sally, but you will still get Celtic fans saying he’s
a good guy because of his role at TBs funeral, horrible fat wretch of a man
A very big thank you to the boy jinky who popped in this afternoon to spend a couple of hours.
Cheers mate.
BT
Check your cutlery is still there mate.
RANGERS Football Club can confirm the BBC is no longer welcome at Ibrox Stadium or Murray Park.
The club asked BBC journalists to leave the stadium ahead of today’s Division Three title party against Berwick Rangers.
Rangers Director of Communications James Traynor said: “We are aware of our contractual obligations but we also have to be aware of our duty to protect the players, manager and supporters against reporting which lacks logic, balance and fairness.”
……………………………………………………………
Who are these “rangers football club” mentioned in the BBC ban by der hun?
Why have they been banned?
BT
Take it you had a full cocktail cabinet?
gordybhoy64, I couldn’t care less if he carried my fathers coffin, he is a loathsome sneak who time after time shows what he’s really all about.
a ceiler gonof rust
Well said that man
Afgr,
Not gonna argue with you on that
gordybhohoy64. I dont know of a single Celtic supporter who has any time what so ever for fat sleekit McCoist. I dont want to see him lose his job at Ibrokes because as long as he is there they will do nothing he is a clown of a man. H.H.
Afgr=acgr
Che, I’m reading a couple of threads on it in hunmedia and it seems that they’ve been banned because they printed the “way forward” document that was leaked to them.
Won’t they be in breech of contract for this?
I do hope so.
Funny how people see things differently, I would have said if anything the BBC is pro rankness and has been for the last three years which has seen them become nothing more than a extended mouthpiece for whatever chimp is running things down govan way..
Joe fillipis haircut,
I don’t know any either but have read posts previously standing up
for him because of him and walts role at T Bs funrral
The fact that Sally carried Tommy Burns’ coffin says more about the Burns family than it does about the sleekit one. He has done nothing to repay that honour – the whispering incident – today’s watp – he should be ashamed.
“we also have to be aware of our duty to
protect the players, manager and supporters against reporting which lacks logic, balance and fairness.”
ffs that is a stoater of a statement coming from Jabba. They really are in meltdown again.
