BLUE CYCLOPS

Not only in Glasgow did you get the Green and the Pink. I can remember Belfast in the early '60;s. About 80 O'clock I would leave my mates in the pub and go round to Castle Junction in central Belfast and get them straight off the plane. Same as Glasgow, we only got the early editions but at 8 o'clock.

Guarantee banners and anything pro ulster is taken off us at the gates. =========================================================================================== Instead of political/religous banners how about every bear wears a white medical face mask to hide the smell of moral corruption hanging round the bumbandit bowl.

Maybe some legal expert out there can clarify for me the implications of this decision. Rangers are not full members of the SFL and had no say or vote in this decision. Presumably that means we are bound by this decision? BUT------------ If it transpires in future that the SPL finances were not disclosed in full before the vote can Rangers refuse to honour the TV contract and/or liabilities of the SPL? Could we then negotiate our own TV tights and claim back the money they stole from us under false pretenses? Can we shaft the baxxards?

I would class "world class" as being considered for a World.v. Mars squad. Maybe not automatic pick but good enough to be in the possibles. I could further split them into 3 groups. 1. Rangers/Scots who were Rangers men. 2. Young players who were not world class with us but who went on to better things. 3. Players who had been world class but came to us on the way down. 1. Baxter, Henderson, Cooper, Jardine, Baxter, Baxter and Baxter and I would argue a case for Eric Caldow. 2. Gatusso and Gio. 3. The De Boers, Gazza, Caniggia, Numan, Thern

I'd say 55. I know that this will be a 2nd. class title but we should also add the war time titles as well. What a kick in the goolies for some people that would be. After putting all that effort into trying to strip titles they find that the gap has widened. And while we're at it :- I think Coisty should make a cheeky offer for some of their players. and why would they sign for a 3rd. Div,. club :- to gain the experience of playing in front of 48000 every other week. (I'm ignoring yesterdays crowd figures, my memory can be as selective as theirs.

I bought a book quite a few years ago in a 2nd. hand shop. Tam Gemmil the Scum left back had written one of the chapters. He said that of the two players (Johnstone and Henderson) he preferred playing against Jinky. He said Johnstone could tie you in knots with his tricks but he was never worried because he knew Johnstone would have to come back and do it again. With Wee Wilie he said he never had that luxury. You were playing on the edge every time because you knew once Henderson was past you it was all over. You were never going to get a second chance.

I've long been of the opinion that Rangers future should lie in Europe not England. I've posted as such on a number of occassions, Lets be honest here, Rangers in their present state are a million miles away from being invited to join any European league in any format. But lets look at any advantages such a league might bring and how we might use it to our advantage. One of the main criticisms of FIFA/UEFA is the amount of corruption in both bodies. They have a captured market and have bought the votes and influence they need to stay in power. There will never be any change so long as they hold the purse strings cos, no one will bite the hand that feeds them. This new suggestion, if it comes to fruition, opens up a whole new raft of possibilities however. Suddenly for the first time, FIFA/UEFA have competion for the clubs loyalty and support. They do not have the monopoly on purse strings any longer. In such a situation it will be in their interests to consider arrangements they have consistently knocked back in the past. As long as they kept the big clubs happy then the little guys could be kept happy with the crumbs but now they need us to ensure their continued survival. Suddenly cross border leagues, more equitable distribution of money, etc,. become possibilities. I'm not saying such things will happen, but with a new sugar daddy on the scene, the powers that be have to look at other options. Suddenly Rangers with a proven massive support (this season/Manchester) become an attractive suitor in a new set up. All this might well be pie-in -the sky, but while the current corrupt cabal in EUFA and SPL hold the power then everyone is held to ransom and no one will risk challenging the status-quo. The game (world/ Europe and Scotland) needs a new banker and game changer, this might well be it.

Would the fact that we are an "associate member" scupper his theory? ===================================================================================================== I raised this point a few weeks ago in another thread. Everything proposed depends on the TV deal having Rangers on board. What are the implications if Rangers tell them that, since we have not had a vote on this then we are not obligated to honour any deal signed without our permission. We will not agree to Rangers being included in any agreement. I'm sure that legally we would be in breach but what if we make it a trial of strength? Try dealing behind our backs and we will f**k you all up. More diplomatically off course.

We shouldn't be surprised at C*ltic being surprised at the outcome of the commission. People who live in their own fantasy world frequently are surprised when reality hits home. But lets realise where all this is coming from. What is it with C*ltic and "documentary proof" The only report of £47m appears to be the DR. No proof, no evidence, no sources. Just a newspaper report. The accusations in the DR------- Not worth the paper they're written on. This whole witch hunt started with accusations of "side letters". There was "proof" of cheating. HMRC and the law lords commission decided no cheating involved. The side letters--------------------Not worth the paper they're written on. Just last year (for the second time) a Peadophile was discovered operating inside C*ltic park. Thousands of pornographic photo's of children (s0me wearing C*ltic strips) were discovered in a cupboard. How much "documentary proof" do you need? Everything disappeared into space never to be heard off again. Peadophile pornography----- Not worth the paper it was written on. A few years ago the C*ltic chairman told the world that Saddam Hussein had WMD. He had a dossier to prove it. The dossier---------------------Not worth the paper it was written on. This outburst from Lennon is another of the good things which has happened to Rangers this week. The world is finally beginning to see the light of where the real hatred and bigotry resides.

Suggested press release from Mr. Charles Green :- We note in todays ruling that "Oldco" Rangers have been fined £250 000 for Financial irregularities. This fine has no effect on Rangers FC and we are under no obligation to pay it. However, in the interests of "Sporting Integrity" we will honour this debt and Rangers FC hereby instruct the SPL to deduct this amount from the funds stolen from us in full and final settlement. Further more, Rangers FC must admit to another administrative oversight. For this we must thank our colleagues and rivals from the east end of Glasgow for showing us the error of our ways. From henceforth, Rangers will now be including the league titles won during wartime in the club honours list. Celtic have always done this in their records and in the interests of "sporting integrity" we feel Rangers should reciprocate. From now on it will be 61 and counting. Time for some petty revenge lads.
