Stewart Regan today gave a welcome update on the SFA’s on-going investigation into Rangers. In response to Hugh Adam’s comments in today’s Daily Mail, Regan said:
“We are, however, aware of the most recent allegations made against Rangers FC today by a former director of the club. We shall investigate this matter thoroughly before making any further comment.”
SFA president, Campell Ogilvie, was general secretary and director of Rangers from 1978 until 2005. News broke about HMRC’s dispute over Rangers Employment Benefit Trust in 2010, you knew then, I knew then, the SFA knew then, but Ogilvie was subsequently elevated to the role of SFA president in 2011. He is still on the SFA board.
We have waited almost two years the hear the SFA would investigate this matter. Now, with all the old certainties crumbling down around them, they realise they must act.
Can I be the first to congratulate Dundee FC on winning the Scottish Cup in 2003.

How’s things bud? Well said there.
This team have had to play with an establishment handicap. Being young as they are, they will form an even more formidable Celtic team for some time !
You lost me at the “pregnant mason” bit though? That suggests there’s more on the way???! <:O
CSB
Fantastic quiz, my first attempt…finished 6th, in the hunt for the Champions League spot of the CQN quiz….CL related quiz next week perhaps? hmm

Reading back on earlier it seems Sneevins was coming out with some crackers tonight.
Heh heh. Stupid Flanders.
More top tips…
BUS DRIVERS. Pretend you’re an airline pilot by wedging your accelerator pedal down with a heavy book, securing the steering wheel with some old rope, and then strolling back along the bus chatting casually to the passengers.
INCREASE the life of your carpets by rolling them up and keeping them in the garage.
EXPENSIVE hair gels are a con. Marmalade is a much cheaper alternative, but beware of bees in the summer.
International master criminals. Tell your guards to shoot James Bond in the head at the first opportunity. Under no circumstances give him a guided tour of your base, or leave him in the custody of attractive women in bikinis.
WHEN throwing someone a sharp instrument such as a Stanley knife, or bread knife, always throw it blade first as they invariably tend to turn whilst in the air.
Thicken up runny low-fat yoghurt by stirring in a spoonful of lard.
Don’t waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand closer to the object you wish to view.
Pig Farmers. Minor skin grafts can be performed on pigs by covering any cuts and grazes with thin strips of bacon

Yes! going to the game tomorrow. Early start so off to bed now.

I think when Whytie moved in they were both making sure they made hay from this planned newco of Rangers. It may not be going the way they initially planned it hehehehe but those administrators are making sure they get their cut no matter what.
Rangers reputation is destroyed in the eyes of the mainstream media followers and that is remarkable when you think how much they have concealed.
Great days to be a Celtic fan because they can’t even use whataboutery now.

Always go to the toilet at work. Not only do you get use of the free toilet roll, you get paid for doing it.

I’m certainly no expert but reckon they could use it for wages rather than debt but could definitely be wrong!
FFM,

I think plaudits for Hugh Adams are misplaced.
He was clearly content to sit in the directors’ box and say nothing about the fraud being perpetrated on the pitch.
Dante reserves the lowest place in hell for the trimmers – those who witnessed wrongdoing and did nothing. Good enough for Hugh Adams & most of the MSM it seems to me.
——————————
Echoes James Forrest’s great read yesterday (many articles ago!).
The “trimmers” include all the so-called “good” Rangers fans. The one’s who have done nothing to save their clubs soul. They stood silent in Barcelona and silent in Manchester. They were not silent at Hampden in the League Cup Final. But these are the “good” ones. Trimmers ra lot a them.

TLK
the new t.v deal works out at £16 million per season, with money distributed to teams based on league position. i would hazard a guess celtic and rangers take between £4-5 million, leaving £11 million or so to share between the other 10 clubs.
for celtic: t.v money is about 4% of overall income
for hibs, hearts, aberdeen, and dundee united: t.v money is about 10-15% of overall income.
lets say rangers die and the SPL negotiates a t.v contract at 30-40% of the new/ current t.v contract. potential move football calender to summer to increase t.v income and crowds.
lets say we share that t.v money equally between all clubs in SPL and all of a sudden the drop in income for clubs mentioned is between 5-7% of overall income.
celtic agree that half of all tickets bought by away supporters is returned to their clubs i.e. the more fans you bring the more money your club gets back, and most likely celtic as well. (increased income for all clubs visiting parkhead maybe by 1 or 2% and improving matchday experience)
Increase league size from 12 clubs to 14 clubs with first round of games 2 x 13 = 26 games taking place before a split with bottom and top teams playing 2 x 6 = 12
overall 38 games to be played.
introduce play-offs because they bring people out:
Last European place decided by 2 games play-off (home and away)
11 and 12 place finish, play each other with the losing team playing either the 3rd placed team or play-off winners of 1st division.
2 teams automatically relegated
plus:
3 points for a win, 2 for a score draw, 1 for a no score draw and 0 for a loss.
no club allowed to spend beyond means.
i honestly think after a period of adjustment:
the league would be more competitive
the league would be more buoyant
the crowd numbers would increase
football would be seen as more important than t.v money but importantly t.v money would increase over time as the league would be more attractive to all
newco could make their way through the lower leagues with every team in scotland benefiting.
A newco promotion into the SLP would come and this would potentially increase t.v moneys
but would be tied into the same agreement which applys to celtic and all the other clubs.
to pretend nothing happened and just let newco back in would constitute a disaster for football in scotland, celtic and her fans would have no choice but to petition the authorities and demand that they are allowed to leave and enter another league

I’m doing very very well m8, theres a few huns in work who act like they are not interested in football but when I dropped the news that they were losing 11 players they were gutted. These are the ones who constantly blame Catholic schools and hide themselves like the Traynor’s and the Young’s of this world.
They are hurting so badly and they can’t say a thing as their lying and cheating is laid bare. Brilliant.
Pregnant Mason is from the youtube link m8ty (Scotch and Wry).
I hope you are doing well, seems like a silly comment in these times. ;)
