Where does this document leave Regan and the SFA? They wanted to strip us of titles without an investigation or an appeal. They cannot survive this.

They are beyond parody. This document should be dynamite. Let's see the integrity of the Jock hack pack now.

How does this leave fat Pedro's "whiff of paranoia from Ibrox" statement now?

It was before that. His initial interviews were fairly balanced from memory. When our fate was decided he then started talking about us being punished as relegation was "a consequence not a punishment". It's very, very strange. I believe him to purely be interested in self preservation and he saw the Rangers haters as his only option.

I'm quite interested in the Doncaster situation. Initially he seemed to be lobbying for us to stay in the SPL. All of a sudden he then seemed to hitch onto the Rangers hater's bandwagon. I suspect he's just a stooge.

This is the problem, all we're getting is "it is said" and other such language. There's also talk of "witnesses". What witnesses would these be? I'm assuming they're not calling on the likes of Neil McCann or Billy Dodds to give evidence as they torpedo whatever case they have. I'd have thought the minimum standards of proof would require them to provide any actual and original dual contracts and also have players testifying to the existence of dual contracts. Without this, what can they actually have?

On the "evidence" front. Does anyone know what it is? I've read about "evidence" and "witnesses" but have yet to see any details. Indeed, all the players I know of have said there were no dual contracts. I'd also like to know Nimmo Smith's view of the fact those prosecuting Rangers have failed to provide to the accused the evidence against them. Indeed, they've not even responded to one letter from Rangers requesting such details. That flies in the face of a basic legal right and one Nimmo Smith would never accept in a case brought in front of him.

The football under McCoist has been turgid. All the way back to when Smith was manager and it was rumoured McCoist was in charge of cup games. McCoist is untouchable at the moment. Ultimately people will have to ask themselves if they think he's a good manager. They'll have to forget all the background noise and he will, at some stage, be appraised purely on his team's performances and results.

It seems only RFC are not allowed to voice an opinion in the Scottish game. Green at no stage questioned the panel's integrity. He questioned the forces behind the panel. I hope he appoints a QC to represent him at this hearing.

In that case, why were Celtic's lawyers paid to investigate us? Why wasn't this delegated to Ian Blair?

Congratulations to everyone on the left. You have now made it acceptable for the state to raid people's homes on account of merely "offensive" comments.

Roger Mitchell, the man that recommended Setanta ahead of Sky, something that has seen a massive decline in TV money in the Scottish game. What more would you expect from a Celtic supporting FP of Sacred Heart High School?

Totally agree, did you notice Chairman Murray's gimp latched onto this thread and AJ's comments all to try and show the man who nearly destroyed Rangers isn't actually that bad? He's not a Rangers supporter, he's a David Murray fanboi with no interest in the club whatsoever.

This is the only part that is of any relevance.

The best defence against defamation claims is the truth. Given it is actually true then it is odd it has been removed. The fat swinger may have sent a threatening letter but he would never want to take this any further. I'm not sure what is going on and I don't personally know Chris Graham or the VB gentleman.

I've personally been told by someone that was in the room that it is true.

Seems Ray and David Murray's gimp were wrong. http://news.stv.tv/scotland/189650-spl-commission-begins-hearing-into-rangers-use-of-ebts-to-pay-players/

And still she rears her head, the very gimp that, up to and including liquidation backed David Murray to the hilt.

What procedural process will they be discussing? It would appear they have more on their plate than anticipated.

So what is the process? I'd love to know what evidence there actually is. As far as I'm aware, not one player has claimed to have had dual contracts. In fact, Neil McCann (in particular) and Billy Dodds gave fairly robust responses saying there weren't any dual contracts.

Should be quite interesting. The panel will be there along with Celtic's lawyer's who are presenting a case against Rangers. Given there will be no defendent will it be postponed? A normal court case is postponed if the defendent doesn't show up. Will a judge and two QCs want to be part of a process that has had its legitimacy, jurisdiction and integrity called into question?

How far back must you go to decide who the land belongs to? Also what exactly constitutes stolen? I find the idea of an "independent" Scotland quite delicious. Free everything for everyone, tax the wealth creators so they leave, mass public ownership, adulation of Rome. What a party, just wait for the hangover.

Christ, where to start with this. The defenestration of the English, the guillotine for the wealthy and the expulsion of the foreign. Good luck in your emulation of North Korea.

An elected parliament that can't select its own government.

Jim McColl can't have lived in Scotland very long if he thinks it is a country that will have a government enacting policies to help business and cut general dependency on the state.
