Real Ranger 3,195 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I wish I could share the optimism of some of you but after seeing Rangers being fucked over so many times in recent years I won’t be at all surprised if Doncaster and his fellow slimey bastards somehow manage to wriggle out of this relatively unscathed. When it comes to Scottish football authorities and the media we really are up against it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hear what you're saying but tbf this does feel different, Douglas Park's quotes do not miss the target and give the impression that Rangers are up for the fight regardless of whether Independent Investigation is voted through or not, This has been rumbling along for a month or so mate, Think if we were going to back down we would have done it by now tbh.

What a wonderfully orchestrated attack. Much more like the thing, finally. Demonstrating that we will not be pushed around any longer - make no mistake regardless of the outcome of this particular battle we have achieved a great deal already. Finally these bastards will know they better think twice before ripping the absolute pish out of us. We have shown we can and will be coordinated, organised and most importantly willing in going after them. Long may it continue, fucking years we’ve needed this.

Everything changed at the rovers when previous chairman Turnbull Hutton got involved.

gmcf 34,174 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 The way Robertson , Bennett and Park have spoken these last couple of days has given me a lot more confidence when it comes to facing the clubs at the EGM face to face . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenzie Loyal 533 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Meanwhile, in a very dark and dangerous place for children...... Quote You would think Park would have more pressing things to worry about than getting involved in an unwinnable fight with the SPFL. You would think his businesses would be his main concern during this difficult time.Hope sevco go bust, followed by his companies going bust. Then he ends up broke like Randolph and Mortimer at the end of Trading Places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is unfortunately some truth to that mate ...... If it were allowed and I don't think it is ....... the story would run that we payed so we would obviously want a positive result ..... and that's why we paid for the Independent Inquiry ..... fix! cheats! blah! blah! blah!

72barca 1,788 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Right now it feels very strange to be feeling this good and this confident in the actions of our board. From previous experiences it feels like you are waiting for Liewell and his placemen to retaliate with a sucker punch. However, when have they ever been this quiet? They usually are front and forward with their arrogant and dominating presence. I am immensely proud of our board's performance, but I still feel the presence of Hanlon's Razor( in reference to C1888c's previous actions). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDBigBear 10,825 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 2 hours ago, Amato said: Park on MacLennan.. “I also replied to the SPFL chairman and referenced the previous complaint the club had made about comments attributed to him by Private Eye magazine. I asked for clarity on whether he made those comments or not. No assurances were forthcoming, which I find odd given the allegation has dogged him since he arrived at the SPFL [in 2017]. If the comments were made it would certainly give cause for concern about his ability to treat any complaint we took to him. Perhaps this is a question he could answer the next time he sits down with himself for a Q&A.”😂 Priceless, simply priceless. I can't believe the difference in our board and its stance on this. I have been critical of our boardroom in the past (including this one) but I doff my hat to them in the last few weeks. Our PR has been really good and on this issue we have been incredibly good. Frankly I don't think they could have been any better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the cry was no 3,034 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 The more this unfolds the more I become convinced we actually do have a smoking gun The desperate actions of he SPFL board to avoid an II only makes any sense to any sensible person if they have something to hide Moreover the relentless Hollicom campaign to discredit us and our motives, our dossier (despite it's damning content) by all of the usual suspects confirms that the inventors of sporting integrity are determined to avoid any II too There's a level of panic by both and a level of meticulous preparation and bullish confidence about us that convince me that what we have will blow them apart My hunch is that the whistleblower information has still to be played and its explosive. Mabye we've landed the private WhatsApp group featuring petethecheat@japanesetours shiftymcgifty@orangebastards fatrod@teninarow and GIJoe@puppetonastring where all the strategy, tactics and decisions are made and confirmed. What is absolutely certain is that these 4 will need to have been in close contact with each other and will have been for a long time and maybe they've been a little careless Just an opinion and hope I'm right but I get the feeling we are holding more than one ace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
