The lack of concern in the mainstream media over real, or even perceived, conflicts of interest in the administration of the game is the ultimate indicator of an established bias.
I remember the outrage when Gordon Smith was appointed CEO of the SFA, despite being eminently qualified, due to his past history with Rangers.
Now we have:
direct employees of club owners with administrative oversight of the other clubs
individual clubs with shared commercial contracts with mainstream media outlets
the two clubs coming first and second in the top division for last two seasons sharing legal representation with the two governing bodies of the game
those same governing bodies trying to re-ignite punitive investigations into the third place club as it tries to re-establish itself commercially and competitively
And the common thread through all of these? Why, if it isn't our friends from the east end.
John Grisham would reject this as a plot for being too far-fetched.
LOL - guys a trumpet, what to say about this drivel.....
Fuck every last one of them, we only need to worry about us - we have no need to worry about Scottish football or the clubs involved, they made an almighty fuck up of it years ago when they decided to fuck us.
Fuck them all, the clubs, the supporters and those who stood on our head.
Interesting that UEFA allowed the final to be played in a country that was run by a dictator at the time.
Scotland must have a chance of hosting another final then.
With the last disappointing season just finished and us rehashing rumours about who will stay and who will go and who we might buy under Gerrard, I've noticed a few threads about how bad our squad has performed recently, with many posters stating that it's "The worst in their lifetime"; which got me thinking about how it's been in my lifetime since I first walked into Ibrox as a wee boy in 1953 (Technically I was on my Dads' shoulders) so I decided to have a look at the ups and downs of the fortunes of The Famous.
In those days until season 1994-95 it was 2 points for a win, so I have put the figures into perspective by awarding every season 3 points for a win. I have also documented how many points we would have won by as Champions and how many points we would have been in arrears of the team that won the title. As the years' roll bye our memory seems to play tricks on us at times with fact and imagination becoming "The Gospel" as we debate such things.
So fellow Blunoses, How does our current mob compare to when you first started watching the Boys in Blue; and were the last two seasons squads the "Worst Rangers Teams in History, taking into account the thieving bastards running the club and the inferior finances compared to other years?
