And he reckons the Ibrox club’s actions in the coming days should be monitored closely - with the threat of a points deduction not out of the question.” The tone of that is so dangerous ... it's not solely down to us to end or continue the season. It doesn't fall on one team like that (especially with their crazy voting structures) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,647 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 People clearly have built there hopes up way to much over this. Now it's turned out to be just about basic things they feel let down. Exactly what Keith Jackson etc wanted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's absolutely scandalous coming from someone who used to hold power up here, though unsurprising from one of them. So tow the line or deduct points? Also pushing the 'Doncaster as victim ' line. unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenzie Loyal 533 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Ewan Murray @mrewanmurray SPFL: "..an initial examination of their ‘dossier’ has failed to identify a single shred of evidence to support Rangers’ vociferous claims of corruption, bullying and coercion by SPFL staff." Use of 'staff' is interesting: Neil Doncaster was consistent with same at weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading between the lines it’s the complete opposite. If the dossier was a damp squid it would of found its way into their media by now. They are trying to change the charges Rangers accuses them of in regards to maladministration and make it about bullying etc. They are shitting themselves.

Surely if the above is true with the SPFL threatening punishments to clubs who didn't vote... then threatening points deductions plays into that It's Aesop's Fable isn't it? The Wind and the Sun. You can't force a person to remove their jacket, but make it hot enough and they'll do it themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canabear 4,558 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I would hazard a guess that most Clubs and the SPFL for that matter are having their Lawyers pour over this dossier to find out if there are LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS which can be found and if there is then we'll see what happens and legal Ramifications are not found by listening to the likes of jimmy ping , Spiers etc. Who leaked a legally binding document to the mhedia anyway?

Robmc1 4,741 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 18 minutes ago, KingKirk said: There was never going to be a smoking gun this is about questioning those running our game. If what's in the sun is what's in the dossier then it delivers that. The smoking gun shit has been built up by the spfl yes men in the press to soften the effects of the actual evidence. Spot on, a tactic that would make anything less (smoking gun) seem inconsequential. Rangers re released the tweet to highlight the issues that we claim were miss-administered (intentionally) imo) and the Issues we believed that the whistleblower could confirm. The hype in between was created as as smokescreen. It will be easier to downplay the dossier with this narrative however I look forward to reading through what we do have and no doubt the nonchalant manner it will be rebuffed by the usual detractors...

I was about to post that on the FollowFollow Facebook page there is document to view that looks like our report that was sent out. It's not 200-pages though, it's 19-pages. I'm unsure if it's an edited and scaled down version of it with the main parts left or if it's something completely different. I'm reading through it just now (albeit skim reading) but I'm not seeing anything in way of proof, I'm seeing a lot of "alleged" written in the comments/texts next to the important stuff.

TheFamousPigeon 9,352 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 The SPFL are an absolute farce. The fact the media-wing of the greenpocket brigade are even pushing a 'points deduction punishment' narrative shows you what they really are. Fuck them. Take them to the rafters Rangers. Let the world see what a corrupt, bigoted, fuckwit bunch of arseholes run Scottish Football. Just as much a joke as the SNP and their bollocks. I can't stand either.
