Thermopylae 15,286 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Obviously the great unwashed will want us punished for the rest of time but it's now the right moment for us to make the point forcibly and tirelessly, the length and breadth of the country, that we have already been punished far more severely than any civilised country would ever expect and all another punishment would serve to do is put celtic in an even stronger position than they are already. After all Juventus were only demoted 1 division for match fixing and Marseilles were allowed to keep their European cup despite match fixing where as we were sent down 3 divisions for an offence so unclear that it took the courts 5 years to come up with a ruling on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I think we have made that point quite forcefully and repeatedly - and rightly so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 A simple statement from the board that we won't be morally preached to by abusers of children and clubs who have restructured millions in debt that they couldn't pay. Would do for a starter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

big blue Fin 3,724 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Unfortunately we have a board with no will or desire to rock the boat and who wish to "build bridges" more than defend the club against these constant attacks. We all know which club is a disgrace as do they. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothianbear 361 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 The board may as well paint a huge target on Ibrox and welcome all to have a go at us because that's exactly what's currently happening. It's open season on Rangers, we need the board to grow some and fight back , yes i can understand the want to Build relationships within the game but that has to be a two sided thing, there's folk out there wanting us dead and buried and what do we hear in response? NOTHING ! Time for the board to act, No Surrender ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the board allow our titles to be taken away the great unwashed across the city will be the least of their problems and TBH I think they know this ... perhaps liewell is just pushing them so far that they will have to come out fighting now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it's gone too far when even Aberdeen and Hibs are issuing statements saying they've got no interest in it. Liewell may well decide to spend some more green pounds getting some dodgy private dick to investigate the sfa/spfl and come up with convenient evidence showing they're all secret Rangers fans but I think this will all just fizzle out. I'd like to think however if it doesn't that then our board might be stirred to get off their collective arses and strike back, but I won't hold my breath.

What we really need at the top of the club just now is someone who's never been involved in business ... a figure head who could never be impugned. The truth is all businessmen have skeletons in the cupboard for an example of that look at the fraudulent French bank desmond was involved with while he was bankrolling o'squeel ... worse than EBTs surely Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Daily Record reporting on a pro ira song being videoed there, then of course there are the tim's own dodgy tax schemes, the below price purchase of land and property then of course last and by no means least, the ongoing child abuse scandal. As for someone at the top not being involved in business, I can't see that happening unless we draw the attention of some oil rich head of state, what's the Sultan of Brunei up to these days?

Quoting the child abuse scandal is a mistake their apologists in the mhedia can very easily paint us as in the wrong if that is mentioned ... and as you say there are so many other things to use against them.

It's so hard to avoid though. They were never punished as a club for their part in it and it's worse by far than any minor irrelevant administrative errors which may or may not have occurred during our use of EBTs. Personally I'd love to see Scotland purged of the curse that is the tims but we had our chance years ago after the jacobite uprisings and the governments of the time let them live. Don't know what's wrong with a scorched earth policy myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
