harry handsome 629 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Sitting watching this all unfold from down under and it has struck me that this is the biggest game of bluff I have ever watched.Those who dictate the Scottish game believe that they can bluff the Rangers fans that's why they have stood firm on the transfer ban and continue to go after us. They think that all talks of boycotts will disappear as soon as the season starts, they are banking on us backing down because we love our club more than we hate the others, as it's supposed to be (scum are you reading). I think they have tried one bluff to many and it has the potential to bring the whole lot down.What clubs have asked that the SPL provide a fund in the instance that the penalties we have been given do have an adverse affect on their income streams causing them to struggle financially. It was one of the topics covered and assurances have been given that the clubs will be ok, how's that for a bit of double standards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally62 393 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'm sure we can last longer than their depleted coffers can..1 year..2 year.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchieshearercaldow 22,137 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Good post But the fact is they know they have us by the short and curlies.They believe any boycott is futile in the long run.They won't kick us out, they'll gloat watching us hamstrung and struggling in the SPL while taking our money.They know the club can't take them to court, uefa don't like that.(maybe the fans could)We can't resign immediately from the SPL, it takes 2 years.Our only hope is to stay united, boycott and hurt them in the pocket but how long will it last?

HarrogateBlue 7 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 what I spent on away days will now be added to my home days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wronglypenalised 14 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 What I don't agree with is the continual stalling by the governing bodies to set out punishments. If they wish to put in place procedures and sanctions for clubs who go into administration or are in danger of being liquidated then do so, by putting off these decisions they leave themselves open to accusations of bias, of having a grudge against us (or indeed seen to be favouring us in terms of other clubs supporters views) and so on.This game of bluff could backfire on the game as a whole in this country and as usual we have people in power who are trying to play poker with only 4 cards to make a hand but with a deck up their sleeve.

Although, as I said to Gunslinger, I'd much rather you have a change of heart and continue to follow on.We need all the committed support we can get.

Rightly or wrongly.If we were changing our name, our ground and our colours, I quite believe many people would stop forever. I definately would. I don't doubt the sincerity of anyone who says they won't follow on if its a newco, I just think it'll be a tiny minority who follow that through. We'll just have to wait and see.
