Tonight Sevco accepted all outstanding penalties attributable to the SFA membership of soon-to-be-liquidated Rangers. They also agreed that if Rangers are found to have cheated for over a decade by illegally registering players that they will be subject to whatever penalties Rangers would be due, in order to acquire Rangers SFA membership.
Only a week ago Ally McCoist insisted he would not be party to such a deal, it remains to be seen if that they were empty words.
The Scottish Premier League will now continue with its inquiry into the alleged dual-contracts Rangers operated during the Sir David Murray era. I confidently predict the findings will reveal Rangers did not operate within the same rules as every other club, since at least the last century. The former club will be stripped of all league titles and cups. Celtic will be awarded league titles for 2003, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2011, creating a new Scottish record of 12 consecutive league championship wins.
Sevco will be liable for any punishment due for these years of operating with shadow contracts, the likely severity of which will reflect the enormity of the offence.
Should the First Tier Tribunal find that Rangers evaded paying up to £75m of social taxes, which is explicitly against Fifa and SFA rules, the SFA disciplinary tribunal will punish Sevco, the successor club now due to inherit Rangers SFA membership.
If you are on the receiving end of this, the future will appear daunting. If you stood at Rugby Park, Fir Park, Celtic Park, St Mirren Park or Caledonian Stadium, when Celtic effectively or actually ‘lost’ league titles while observing the rules, the cumulative effects of punishments on a rival are meaningless, you will want trophies awarded to those who were prepared to endure defeat while observing the rules.
One day soon the world will know, you were not paranoid after all!

The English FA have warned Soton not to pay R*nkers any transfer fee for Davis.
Good news if you’r eon the money Paul.
ove ron FF they’r etalking a different game- many of them referring to Green interview with Rangers TV today wher ehe has a go at Celtic.
I quote Green:
“I think everyone knows that it’s Rangers that are playing at Ibrox whether its owned by company A or company B.
“Our main rivals – or our former main rivals – across the city they have had three different companies in their lifespan.
“In fact if you look at their corporate structure now it’s more complicated than Rangers’ is.
“So it’s not about an individual or a corporate company with a registration number. This is Rangers and will always be Rangers.”
There’s also some talk about him going to take any claim to their titles through the courts before he’ll give them up. Hot air?
Watched the Olympics. Incredible opening part. Like some movie set/theatre hybrid, truly breathtaking in scale and execution. Well done Danny Boyle.
BUT, two things:
as my 7 year-old pointed out – where was the tardis (quintessentially British London Polis Box) & Doctor Who???? C’mon Danny! The wee man was agog waiting for it to materialise and Beckham to step out with the torch (#154 of ‘Dad’s bullsh*t predictions that raise young hopes to ferverent levels).
And 2, on a more sinister note, a question for thos emor einformed/sober – during the parade when the German squad were out, the camera cut to what I saw as a fat German in the dignitaries section giving a succession of fascist salutes (Heil, Heil, etc). Was I deceived by my addled brain/eyes or is ther ea perfectly innocent explanation? Anyone see that?

LONDON OLYMPICS 2012.
12,000 Police Officers,..13,500 Military Personnel,..20,000 Security Guards,..1,000 U.S. Security Personnel,..300 MI5 Agents,..Warships,..Drones,..Snipers.
Enjoy the games !
The Comfortable Collective please read:::::An extraordinary party of flagbearers brought the Olympic Flag into the stadium moments after the Queen declared the London Games open.
Muhammad Ali and Doreen Lawrence, mother of murdered black teenager Stephen Lawrence, were among the nine who took part in the ceremony.
Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, Ethiopian athletics veteran Haile Gebrselassie and Shami Chakrabati, director of Liberty, were also flagbearers, along with Sally Becker, known as the Angel of Mostar who risked her life to deliver aid and evacuate children in the Balkan War, Marina Silva, who has fought against the destruction of the rainforest, Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee, who has worked to try and end Liberia’s civil war, and musician Daniel Barenboim.
Mr Comfy Collective…
Pay Attention:-
beret…….That’s b-e-r-e-t…
self-explanatory….That’s s-e-l-f – etc….
You are clearly a Hun…of the Al Qaeda variety….
Respect to Doreen Lawrence who eventually exposed institutional racism in the metropolitan police on her fight for justice for her young son Stephen’s memory.
A woman of incredible courage and tenacity .
Kept up the good fight!
I salute you.
Stephen Lawrence RIP

Dear God. Cheers.
I wasn’t halucanating. And by the looks of old dugface Camilla’s reaction behind him, he probably wasn’t German. Maybe ripping it from them. How to cause an international incident…
Sandman
I saw it. And so did that buffoon Boris Johnson and Auld Camilla who were chuckling away at him in the background.
Apparently tho it wasn’t a Nazi salute because he used his left hand [?]
What puzzles me and makes me (& others) so suspicious is that the only appropriate punishment is permanent expulsion from the game for the club they have so openly gone out of their way to preserve.
Given the fact that they have wholly discarded the rule book in order to preserve this rotten to the core organisation, does anyone believe that appropriate punishment will be applied when the EBT scandal is formally proven?
TimJim on 28 July, 2012 at 01:41
Yes I seen that.
For the third time old chap, I was not talking about that group. I was talking about the group of berret wearing uniformed people who were carrying the same flag.
So, To recap, (again – chortle, pay attention Bond)
1. Muhammed Ali is on my side – agree?
2. White tracksuited world worthies carrying a flag at one point during the ceremony are not the same as berret wearing uniformed troops carrying the same flag at another point of the same ceremony- agree?
3. Sometimes the same flag is used more than once (especially if it is the Olympic flag – the one with the five rings, during the olympic opening ceremony) – agree?
Anyway you’re doing your best – good for you.
I’m away now, but at least we have managed to agree on most things.
Even if it took us a wee while to get there (bless).

Yes i commented to my wife…. did you see that VIP German guy in the crowd doing nazi salutes?
I thought i was imagining it. eek!

The Singing Detective Demands The Resignation Of Campbell Ogilvie on 28 July, 2012 at 01:42
Kojo,
much obliged, and quite frankly – thank you.
I was wondering how long it would take someone to fall for my continuous use of berret – and then get all hot and bothered about it.
There is always one who will fall for it and tonight my friend, it was you. Still laughin.
Now I can sign off knowing I have caught at least one fish in my net ( a tiddler mind you).
Oh, and as for Al Qaeda, quite frankly old bean, they are not to my taste, and wont be until they change their opinion on beer and bacon.
Still, as I say,I have to depart, so I shall take my hook out of your flapping, gasping mouth, and throw you back into that peculiar CNQ pond full of bottom feeding tiddlers.
Goodnight, and good luck.

Opening ceremony – was a bit bemused at the start to be honest. What chance did you have if you were from … Brazil for instance? When commentators have to explain from a script then it’s not a great idea. IMO.
However, thought there was some good stuff and Mr B’s ideas came across well without the need for explanation.
The Nazi salute was a strange one. Kept looking around for George Peat to join in! ;-)
If what Paul is saying comes to fruition, then I believe that – alongside Sean F, we should see Mrs Burns and the Bunnet unveiling the flag this season.
Tis only right!

If as you say this happened who I am to argue I certainly did no see it and I doubt if anybody else did either.Still I agree with you on ONE thing (not on most things as you suggest) this has become a pointless debate and Iam happy to close it Cheers.

Yer Crazy Braesy beat up ma da, I remember him coming in all covered in blood.

One other point – the `live’ music tonight was questionable. Arctic Monkeys?
Not impressed! Thinking of starting a tribute band – Partick Monkeys (trade mark pending). Just need a couple of junkies who can hold a tune………..
As for Sir Paul, just gonna no dae that! Take your money and your tired back catalogue and go away! Don’t get why this pensioner is wheeled out at `Brit’ events and is lauded as a legned. Hey Jude….it was pash 44 years ago!

Although Iam 65 and a Beatle fan got to agree with you these people have had their day.
oh, and another thing, the most expnsive seats at the olympic games were NOT to watch sport, whats that all about
TimJim- I also like the Beetles but just tired of the old fall-back position we seem to take on these occasions. Don’t like the old `royalty of rock’ that is used as justification. I would also include Mike Oldfield in this as he has not done anything notable for many a year. (He was also responsible for Richard Branson, enough said!)

Old habits die hard Look at our neighbour across the city
For four years I dreaded this moment, how we could possibly live up to the Chinese.
Well, i think we out did them.
Very impressed am I
Well done Danny.
AoW,

Aye…..”therein lies the rub…”,to quote Willie the Shake,the ‘quintissential English bard’ ole SIR Kenneth Branagh (luvvie) was extolling tonight.
A great spectacle,with some awesome & cringeworthy moments….and much though we loathe the hoohah surrounding the thing,we watched.
But,outside of tonight,this is the militarised,corporatised to the nth. degree SponsorOlympics….a big rip-off,full of fear mongering. I mean,AA missiles on high-rises? What’re they no tellin’ us? That’s playing on fear.
Maybe we’ll get some outstanding sporting achievements,maybe not. I live 90 miles from London, but it feels more like 90 light years to me.
I feel no connection to the distant capitalist circus and it certainly wouldn’t welcome the likes of me…..my brain isnae smoooooothed out enough.
But I like Danny Boyle…..they could’ve done a lot worse….and they did big-up The NHS for the whole world to see.
HH!

The only two old ones I enjoy listening to now is Tony Bennet & Tom Jones.I did not really like them years ago
Rascar – “Very impressed am I.”
I’m gonna call you Yoda fae now on my little green friend! ;-)
Canamalar – nah, just drunken ones! But as everyone knows the Rosie is full of pricks!
The numbers of soldiers on the streets of London, means MI5 are screaming.
They are not too happy about Norn Iron, or so a wee birdie telt me.
AoW,
they’re only just finding out now :oD)))
Nite all! Got a marathon in the morning………………followed by a Twix!

Just back in from the bhoys 21st at the County Inn Cambuslang, dad home and bhoys off partying somewhere in Rutherglen. Nothing will ever make up for returning from Seville and going straight to Kilmarnock and losing the league,,,,,,they must be stripped of these criminally achieved title wins…roll on the arrests for tax evasion.
