What could the police do to them besides arrest the people involved? Would it not be up to the SFA to take appropriate measures? HMRC couldn't strip titles or league status. Just money. It was the SFA who then tried to figuratively create a corpse.

Yup. Halliday was stupid and lucky he wasn't binned by the ref. Not one of us would have been surprised if he was not would we have made excuses for him. That lot however (despite Brenda saying he had no problem with it) think it was a fair challenge and a harsh red given by a Masonic ref.

One begs the question to what purpose would giving them sporting sympathy soften the blow if in the (unlikely) event they are hammered by justice for harbouring a peado ring? Given everything they get away with and all the advantages gifted I am not holding my breath out for any sort of punishment to be given out by the SFA. We were decimated in the aftermath of the actions of a corrupt businessman through using a (legal at the time) tax loophole. They knowningly kept a horrendous crime secret and it's been known about for years. I just can't see the punishment fitting the crime.

Something really, really fucking stinks. It's like they're being given every advantage possible and to what end? Its supposed to be a competitive sport for entertainment purposes. Why is everything being done possible to give them trophies? Be as well fucking wrapping the whole thing up if this is how it's going to play out.

I second that. The amount of space they had to play around was criminal. It was like those dummy things they set up as a wall for free kick practice at training.

It's a doomsday scenario I'm beginning to fear because it could likely happen. We win fuckall. Regularly finish 3rd or worse. The fans lose heart. Less ticket sales. Crowds of maybe 10k. Future generations of fans lost. Fucking depressing.

Just read the article there. Seriously? Nervous? What The Actual Fuck?! A big game aye sure there'll be nerves. You turn that nerves into adrenaline fuelled battle fever! You don't tell the gaffer to soothe your feelings. If I was in charge the only thing you should be nervous of is the back of my hand off your jaw for such an abject, gutless display. Get the fuck out of this club, you clearly can't handle the demands of the job. Impostors!

Well I'll admit I called it wrong yesterday. I was expecting 90 minutes of play acting. Enjoyed that.

If nothing improves then we can look forward to empty stands again. This is what worries me. In the early 80s we were paying for a stadium rebuild. Once that was paid for we were always likely to come back strong plus the board pulled Souness out the hat. This time if attendances dwindle I think we'll lose future generations. The football landscape is totally different now and I may be overreacting to current circumstances but I genuinely fear we just become another diddy club like the rest.

Did I just hear him say he doesn't talk to players after the game?! Whit?! He should be going through them for that abject display!

I can accept defeat if we try. We didn't try. That was a training match for those cunts.

I agree mate. I had no nerves or excitement in the build up. Obviously anger at the first goal but from then on I just felt malaise. They give us nothing.

A massive PR campaign from current and former players/managers to pressure the officials.

Looking at the stats and it's fucking depressingly one sided. Lack of possession, chances, shots. We are no better than any other diddy club that comes up against them now. Fuck this. We support in our droves. Through the fucking disaster of the last half decade and we get nothing back in return. Just a price hike for our efforts.

Ref is in their back fucking pocket. Tav won the ball with a sliding tackle five or so minutes in, one footed won the ball cleanly. Cunt gave them a free kick. Will give us nothing the next half.

Did you expect any different? The pressure put on officiating by the mob in an effort to arrange favourable bias in decisions is practically cheating.

This is fucking horrific. We have no desire here at all. An absolute gutless display. This is actually fucking hurting me physically.

I'm he same mate. It's a malaise that's crept in through lack of confidence in our lazy shower of shite. ??

Why the fuck are we sitting off them? Pressure the fucking ball Rangers!

Had no confidence going into this. Basically just sat back and let them play.

Good. It's a game full of diving, play acting and general cheating. An example of the beautiful game it is not. Overhyped pish.

This is what makes me wish we had similar quality in our team. So that we could put them to the sword without question. If we win on Sunday you know fine well they'd only blame bias as we're weak right now.

Used to be a goalie? interesting. Here's hoping he's the second coming of Jock Wallace then.

Ok this is fucking ridiculous. The attempt at pressuring referees and trying to engineer favourable decisions isn't even subtle now. They should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

Should make the enclosure standing again.
