Somewhere on an upper floor at Hampden SFA and SPL high office holders will be mulling over player contracts submitted by Rangers over the last decade, including for players still registered at the club.
They will compare what they have on file with yesterday’s revelations in The Sun. As far as the football authorities are concerned, everything will be in good order if Rangers submitted these side contracts, which featured appearance money, to the league and SFA.
But, if the club submitted these contracts to the football authorities, they would have to declare them to the tax authorities as income.
It would be good to hear from some of the very vocal former directors of Rangers on this subject, especially the one currently president of the SFA.
This matter has nothing to do with Our Hero, remember, who is currently drawing fire away from those who put Rangers into danger in the first place, however, Mr Whyte is wholly responsible for the “public censure” issued to Rangers by the Plus Stock Exchange today. The resultant £50k fine the least of the club’s worries.

You must have missed the rather amusing “failed” inflatable banner that the BBC had the decency to share with us last week. Was very much an ice cream and jelly moment that one :D
According to Craig Whyte on SSN today, he’s a stand up guy.
I can’t disagree. Best material I’ve seen since Eric Morcambe played with Andre Previn
do the hun hordes not realize that jelly and ice cream was the code craig used when he made the phone call to sky sports ?

I think it’s the fact we are ‘open to all’ and hence have a more diverse base. Whereas the examples you quote are evidence of what happens when your gene-pool in heavily restricted. But leave off the ‘Bovril stained sheets’! Mrs Bovril will smack a yer face at such impertinence and I don’t like to have my (spotlessly clean) laundry aired in public.

Yer Pa. who thinks ye ur a swell Group.
I have been out all day. I gather Paul67 posted this article about 1 o’clock. Have there been any further “interesting” developments since then? Things just seem to be murkier and murkier by the hour. Better and better. Our day has certainly come. No matter what seems to happen, they seem to get further and further into the mess, of their own making. I DO so hope the current president of the SFA gets caught up the scandal. Ghod forgive me.
Thems is the folks that gave us BJK.
Their crappy ole bedsheet should really have said:
WE DESERVE NOTHING ‘COS WE ONLY KNOW HOW TO HATE
Not enough bad things can happen to them in my book.
I await further revelations of greed, corruption, tax-evasion, immorality & uttering (don’t even know what that one means but I’m sure they’re guilty)….
My fridge is fully stocked up now – I am in for the long haul.
Nothing less than The Extinction Event.

It takes them so long to work things out or twist them.
I think we should have abig rendition of ‘You cannae take it, You canne take it………’ at Ibrokes.
I still laugh at their embarrassing attempts to match the Green Brigade. Pathetic!

To put this to bed,, the jelly and ice cream song has been doing the rounds for so long, it originally referred to having a party when thatchers dies,, no other connotations,, first time i herd it in full at a game was against gretna at livingston on easter sunday,,
prior to this it was often sung at euro away games,,
Bye Bye dodie and di,, being another choice chant of the similar period,
jimtim @ 15:57,
Apologies for the delay in getting back.
”Does anyone know if a neutral observer is involved in this SFA inquiry. I just have an awful buzzing in my ear the past two weeks .sounds kinda like a shredder to me .”
As it is an ”Independent Inquiry” the SFA would contend a neutral observer is not necessary.
Looking at the panel they’d have a point.
Lord Nimmo Smith – Chair
Professor Niall Lothian OBE
Bob Downes Deputy Chairman SEPA
Stewart Regan, Director of the Scottish FA
Problem is when you have an independent Inquiry you must define the frame work; Aims and Objectives, Terms of Reference, Authority, Conclusions and Recommendations – it seems to me that although the verbiage reads well in fact this inquiry is pretty unspecific.
Aims and Objectives: To establish the clear facts and to determine the extent of any possible rules breaches.
Terms of Reference: The activities of Rangers FC and, specifically, a number of potential breaches of the Scottish FA’s Articles of Association.
Authority: The same powers as the Scottish FA
Conclusions and Recommendations: We expect the investigation to be concluded as quickly as possible and will confirm the outcome in due course.
The frame work being imprecise could be a good thing, as it could afford a detailed, forensic investigation into RFC’s activities, however the timescales indicate this won’t be the case.
Now a prompt documented synopsis could also be good thing as it would quickly establish potential contraventions of the SFA’s Rules, Regulations and Articles indicating recommendations and quickly establishing a way forward.
We are very much dependant on the good grace of each and evey memeber of that panel to ensure they complete within two weeks and present its findings to the SFA Board
This SFA Board however have made no commitments to accept recommendations or publish the findings – add to that the President of the Board they are submitting to is an Ex-Rangers Director who had responsibility for Corporate Governance at the time of alleged breaches.
One week to go before we find out if Mr Regan is a new broom in Scottish Football determined to root out contraventions and punish the abusers or wsa this inquiry set-up to prevaricate and obfuscate until the shredders are still?
seen this on twitter regatding this CHARITY game…

And they’ve put the ticket prices up fron £10 Adults, £5 kids concessions to £12 adults. £8 concessions, £6 kids
Any reason why highlights are not on th BBC site yet? A bit like taking five days to deduct the 10 points.

1st time i heard it was on youtube by the manure fans sing about jelly and ice cream when glazer dies..
Right I ain’t one to gossip much, mainly due to…
A) I never hear much
B) not really my thing
95% A really but anyway this is just TOO GOOD not to share
Speaking to a longstanding pal at the weekend and we were discussing the sad plug of Das Orc (he’s a Saints man but bloody hates the Honkers). A business aquaintance of his is a big Celtic man and attends a lot of dinners, functions, business charity type stuff. Over the years he’s been to loads and has been in the company of a certain Monaco Based Balloon.
Cutting to the chase, at one event he had a Celtic top with him and said MBB was at his table.
Can you guess what may have happened next, ‘for a laugh’?
Clue : it involves a camera.
I stress I have not seen the resultant image myself but am reliably informed it exists. Perhaps it is better that it stays under wraps as the streets of Govan/ Monaco would not be safe for man or beast if it got out. Well less safe anyway

They were up last night.
Does anyone know how much (as a percentage of profits) went to charity (Oxfam was the only recipient???) from the Celtic Man U legends game last summer?

We share the same Celtic supporting history, have been at the same games (I thought tne Dunfermline keeper was having a Connaghan the other night) but neither of us in a million years could have imagined at those Open Meetings that we were about to see a history unfold that would see the end of Glasgow Rangers in the form that we knew in our bones for 50 plus years was biased to the point of corruption.
Were my old man alive, he,my sister and I would be dancing a jig of joy at what is unfolding.

Might not even be a football song, the thatcher version could have equally originated from afa or class war,,, CW have been advertising a party in Trafalgar square on the saturday after thatcher dies for best part of 15 years,,,,
Thanks Bhoys. I want to check Sammi`s ” Off-side”,

dont disagree mucker just saying the 1st time i actually heard the jelly and ice-cream version
McGregor interview on Radio Shortbread a lapdog spoon feeding him Q&A, praised his “professionalism” when putting hun woes behind him when representing Scotland.Boozegate anyone?
I thought I would share this little gem. Turns out a friend of friend is a cousin of Craig Whyte, apparently said cousin & family have feck all to do with him, as an example, Mr Whyte bought a house for his mum in Motherwell (nice) BUT he charges her rent! Nuff said!
Compare and contrast:
‘For those who are in love there’s a song that’s warm and tender,
For those who are oppressed in song you can protest,
So liberate your minds and give your soul expression,
Open up your hearts and I’ll sing to you this song’
OR:
‘We are Rangers, super rangers, no one likes us, we don’t care,
We hate Celtic Fenian B>>>>>>’
People call us two sides of the one coin. We aren’t even the same currency!

absolutely Bhud, my posts wee more in response to the other connotations that aw,
Dushanbe:
We have a history of approriating other fans “original” ideas then taking them onto a whole new level by injecting them with a maverick flare.
The never walk alone song; the poznan transmuted into the huddle; now jelly n ice cream…we added another dimension. A bit of inspired theatre and the fascinating tangents of our colourful humour. Unlike other fans we are not afraid to make an a#*e of ourselves for comic effect.
The darkside are a prime example of monobrowed flatfooted square-shaped machismo that is too stiff to loosen the rigid collar of bigotry or flexible enough to slip out of the chains of prejudice…a typical hun troclodyte attitude would be: spontaneous humour & creative play are proof you are a dorothy…
Its like tha old story about the gangster who criticised World boxing champion Rocky Graziano for taking to the dance floor: “Tough guys don’t dance” he growled miserably.

I couldn’t agree more.
Make them pay their back taxes over the next decade.
Remove every tainted trophy that they won and award it to the cheated ,wrongfully titled, runner up.
Don’t let them walk away from their debts ,rename,and go on without any real punishment.
Liquidisation is not a punishment it’s a reward.
TT
I’ve just listened to Craig Whyte on Sky and if he’d any compassion he’d be advising the Rangers fans to get in a supply of Ibuprofen as there’s more painful news heading their way.
re Paul Baxendale-Walker

app he was the guy who started up all this EBT palavor
wrote books on it and stuff, promoted it and so on
