After yesterday’s action-packed fast moving day in the political world that is Scottish football today has been Tantric Tuesday as Rangers administrators, Duff and Phelps, took their time and examined all areas in consultations with players over redundancies. Gregg Wylde and Mervan Celik left the club early afternoon as the first hard consequences of years of abundant excesses manifested, leaving Duff and Phelps joint administrators locked in talks with the rest of the players. No one can accuse them of not working for their £600 per hour per head.
I would like to be the first to congratulate Aberdeen on winning the treble in season 1992-93. An outstanding achievement.

1992/93 season was remarkable for the number of games rangers lost 3-0. Aberdeen beat them 4 times by the same scoreline as did Celtic in an otherwise forgettable season for the Hoops.

That made me chuckle.
Rest assured i will use that one in the future.

lnteresting footnote regarding port vales administration
their local council loaned them 600k to pay the administration fees
Was thinking of phoning SSB tomorrow night to ask the goalie if he had four contracts , seen as his mates all allegedly had two
Right, empathy time. Put yourself in an Orcs shoes. How would you be feeling? Pretty awful yes? Have some sympathy.
Now, take them off, incinerate your socks and take a good long hot shower with plenty of strong soap and disinfectant. The stench of urine stained brown brogues is stomach churning in the extreme!

Found, missing, spent.
The Poppy money story and Paul Murray exposee on Sunday have come to nothing. Was it misdirection or just over enthusiasm on our part. How much contempt are Rangers now held in that we didn’t write off the Poppy story out of hand?
Brogues?
They are all running about with 99p gutties now.
Hi Paul,
Tantric – Excellent.
I’m no’sure whose making such a meal of this process – but they obviously prefer it served cold.
Hail! Hail!

Are they still called ‘shoes’ when they’re on hooves and not feet? ;-)
Until the SFL conclude an enquiry their 9 in a row will always be tainted!

Taking advice from my fellow EK er and getting a hard kick in now, when Dignity are stripped of leagues and cups , I am working on the assumption that all the flags and medals will need to be returned to the SFA.
Can anyone confirm?
Spoke to a Rangers supporting pal today who really surprised me- he said that he hoped they would vanish and take their sectarian element with them- he had been disgusted at the re-emergence of “party” songs at their recent games persuading him that he’d be better supporting his local team. Does this mean that Scottish football is finished, or merely that rANGERS are?
Can you justify paying a manager £1 million a year to manage a team with no European prospects.
Can you justify having a manager as the highest paid employee at a club, when his performance record is appalling
So administrators saying they gave until 16th March to interest new buyers?
With a potential £49m bill hanging over them?

Thanks for that: I wasn’t sure if the Poppy thing was just a hoax.
Hopefully they will never get their hands on the Legneds money.
Speaking of which, a few of the legneds who are due to turn up against Milan must be having second thoughts about showing their faces down Govan way at the moment…
Dear me, fellows on FF not taking matters at all well:

Paul didn’t understand the Tantric reference but searched Wikki…
“While the doctrines of Tantra vary too widely to summarize briefly, one of its most salient features when compared with earlier forms of Indian religion is that its nondual forms reject the renunciant values of classical yoga, offering instead a world-embracing vision of the whole of reality as the self-expression of a single, free and joyous Divine Consciousness (for example, see the concept of the world as the divine play of Shiva and Shakti.[4]). The practical consequence of this view was that householders could aspire to spiritual liberation in the Tantric system, not only monks. Furthermore, since Tantra dissolved the false dichotomy of spiritual versus mundane, practitioners could entail every aspect of their daily lives into their spiritual growth process, seeking to realize the transcendent in the immanent.
Now all is clear!!!!!
Think we can expect the usual tripe from Duff and Duffer.
More proposals from the players.They’ll sleep on it tonight.Blah,blah.

I defer to your greater knowledge. I made the mistake of believing a number quoted in the MSM…….should have known better
If Rankers (IA) are stripped of titles and cups, do you think Broonie will have an awayday to Doncaster to pick up a League and League Cup winner’s medal from somebody that definately never deserved them! (I can’t bring myself to type his name!!!)?

You seem pretty sure that their “tainted” trophy haul will be wiped and I hope you are correct in this, will Celtic plc and other clubs seek financial recompense for their misdeeds in that it has cost us Celtic mega bucks?
Would it help if the Celtic Charity Foundation took over the proposed un-Charity game v AC Milan?
After all, the Italians will have already booked their flights and it would be one investigation less for the poor RFCIA.
Blantyre- there has been a noticeable “they cant do anything to us now, so why hold back attitude” since all this started- one of the reasons I worry for those tims going to the bigotdome
Paul67,hope you seen my smiley face,or attempt at it,
