Rangers administrators have today gone to the Court of Session in an attempt to overturn the recent disciplinary action imposed on the club by the SFA. Paul Clark said:
“The Club started proceedings at the Court of Session today in an attempt to challenge the imposition by an SFA Judicial Panel of a player signing embargo.
“The process will continue at the court on Tuesday and it is the Club’s position that the Judicial Panel did not have the powers to impose such a sanction.
“The Club and the administrators are grateful for the support of the Rangers Fighting Fund on this matter.”
It is prohibited by Fifa for a club to take its association to the civil courts. Fifa rules dictate that the national association must expel any club which takes this action. In December last year the international body threatened to expel the Swiss FA from world football unless it set a deadline to expel Sion after the club took action in its local civil court.
This action can surely only be to provoke the SFA into bringing this sorry saga to an end by kicking them out of the game before Duff and Phelps are forced to padlock the doors due to their own failures.
Unfortunately, President What-school-did-you-go-to is still in residence at the SFA, so it’s unlikely that we will see any clear action from Hampden to calm supporters of other clubs or the Scotland national team.

And another thing, some posters on here claiming they did not have to go to school on that famous day. Are you sure about that? Well, I was at school, and the school even arranged for the buses to leave early so that everybody could get home in time for the match. I seem to remember that the kick-off was early evening, possibly even around 5.30pm.
It looks to me, like even Rangers are now on their knees begging someone to put an end to their missery……..
……..Unfortunately, nobody seems willing to make final move, to be held out as the ‘ones responsible’. Death by 1,000 cuts was mentioned before, but I would like to see the executioner make a final and decisive blow. Letting them walk around wounded is asking for trouble.
It really is better for everyone, them included, if someone, (SFA?), would just make the final decision. But perhaps its gone way beyond that. We were joking about Rangers 0 – Stirling Albion 4 before. But now, not only is the very likely, (They wouldnt even have good enough players to compete well in the 3rd div), but they will be lucky to even have a club to play in any league!
Sure, some are willing to play in the 3rd division, but I suspect most wouldnt be able to handle it, especially not winning promotion back up to the SPL with ease. They think its their ball, and they want to go home now, and stop everyone playing. I know there will be some Rangers fans who support Scotland, but too many of them are hurting and confussed to care. If they are going down, they will try to take everyone and everything with them.
Lets hope someone puts them to the sword, before they achieve that!
More twists than a twisty thing.
One thing I hope for just now, is for Celtic to maintain their public silence.
However, every move in this fiasco IS being carefully monitored by the, arguably, best board of directors in top flight football in GB.
When you look at the combined acumen of the men at Celtic Park and place that alongside the combined forces of the Fabric Weavers, then I know where my money would be placed.

Silence is Golden.
All those who leave the path eventually end up lost.
Can any of you Bhoys explain to me the Orcs are in millions of pounds of debts that they cannot pay back and they have no offer to buy the club.So how do they think it would be ok not to pay the creditors but to go out and purchase new players ? have I had to much sun? I have never heard anything as stupid in my life.H.H.
Bhoys strange that the Darlington issue has come up .
I may be wrong but was Wullie Mckay not involved down there ,is this the same Wullie Mckay that said on real radio .
That he had to give Minty credit ,as he ( Mckay ) had touted the boumsong deal around a few clubs and Minty was the only one with the balls to take the deal on .
An up and coming French internationalist ,with no transfer fee and just his wages .
I remember thinking at the time why would you need balls for that deal

From El Greco
The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train,
and there to meet me is my Mama and Papa.
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they’ll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It’s good to touch the green, green, grass of home.
The old house is still standing, tho’ the paint is cracked and dry,
and there’s that old oak tree that I used to play on.
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they’ll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home.
[spoken:]
Then I awake and look around me, at the four grey walls that surround me
and I realize, yes, I was only dreaming.
For there’s a guard and there’s a sad old padre –
arm in arm we’ll walk at daybreak.
Again I touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they’ll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
as they lay me neath the green, green grass of home.
Wonkyradar (from yesterday evening),
Just saw your response: peace to you too – good to know I’m at peace with someone on CQN. IMO you don’t owe me an apology for anything: we’re all entitled to our own opinions.
Ah so the huns get relegated to SFL1 then ?
They never miss a trick …. they need a permanent eye kept on them especially when they are getting their baws toed

No, I wouldn’t think so.

Astonishing decision by Duff and Duffer, who increasingly resemble not so much professional administrators, but more like the characters played by Al Pacino and the late, wonderful, John Cazale in Dog Day Afternoon…

@LawTop20: Challenging sporting decisions in civil courts brings automatic relegation. FIFA is clear on the (cont) http://t.co/H3phwa8v
In the heat of G73, sitting in the garden (isn’t Wifi pure amazing?) and thinking firstly of the Lions and 67.
And then of the game of ‘chicken’ that’s going on with thems. Whether HMRC, Duff and Duffer, the SPL or anyone else, they’re all feart of pulling the plug. Pulling the plug, because they’re going down the toilet (this analogy made sense a while ago). Duffield on STV earlier saying Rangers should be helped, they’ve been punished enough for what is the mistakes of people, not the club. Pure garbage again from this character.
There are four certainties in life – death, taxes, the fact that thems will be liquidated before the Euros start and there will be no thems next season. Of course, the taxes thing doesn’t apply to everyone…
@LawTop20: I never tell a client I am certain about something. But this one is different and I cannot make it any clearer: Civil courts = relegation
So relegation?
