Of what? The rules being applied fairly?

No other team even gets a vote!

No as in they are getting what they asked for! They wanted us punished, they got it, they wanted us out of the SPL, they got it, they wanted SPORTING INTEGRITY! They got it!

Then, oh fuck we need the money that Rangers generate, we need them in Div. 1 Oops were fucked!

KARMA!

Caley Thistle chairman blasts Rangers decision "a sad day" for Scottish football By Alex Johnston

ICT Chairman Kenny Cameron

INVERNESS Caledonian Thistle chairman Kenny Cameron says the decision to place the 'Newco' Rangers into the third division next season could "spell the end of football as we know it."

Scottish Football League clubs met at Hampden Park this morning to come to a decision on where Charles Green's newco Ibrox club would play,and 25 of the 30 clubs voted the club into the bottom tier.

Cameron has said the club's directors are set for an emergency meeting this weekend to discuss the financial implications of the decision.

In a statement, Mr Cameron said today was saddening for Scottish clubs, and that no club would escape the consequences.

The statement, in full, reads as follows: "There will now inevitably be serious consequences for the game in Scotland.

"We have all, as clubs, accepted the views of our stakeholders in making the initial judgement to uphold sporting integrity.

"All clubs will now have to live with the repercussions of this decision. Scottish football was at a crossroads today in terms of what was on the table for all clubs regarding reorganisation, financial distribution and a road map that would have taken the game forward.

"But this has now been thrown in to disarray by this decision. This is a sad day for all clubs in Scotland."

Mr Cameron added: "None of us will escape the financial fallout from this. There was an opportunity on the table, in terms of the joint agreement tabled at today’s meeting for us all to come together and a genuine willingness to improve the game substantially over the coming years.

"But it now looks as though this will once again be kicked back in to the long grass. A once in a lifetime opportunity to bring forward change may well have been lost.

"The directors of ICTFC are fully aware of the financial implications of this latest decision on Newco. The loss of either our fans or our sponsors was never going to leave any of the clubs in Scotland in a healthy financial position and for some this could spell the end of football as we know it.

"Certain clubs in the SFL have perceived the financial information they were receiving as a 'big stick' to beat them into accepting Newco in the First Division. This was definitely not the case, as far as I am concerned. What they were being told was the reality of the situation."

The chairman concluded: "We will be convening an emergency board meeting over the weekend to discuss the very serious financial implications for us as a club going forward."

The Glasgow club was forced to apply to the SFL after a meeting of SPL clubs last week voted against the newco joining the top tier.

Rangers went into administration on February 14 owing over £130 million to creditors.

The club will be liquidated, meaning its registration with the Scottish Football Association and SPL ended. A Green-led consortium bought Gers' assests for £5.5 million and created the Rangers newco.

A number of the Glasgow club's first-team players have signed with other clubs, rather than play for the newco in a lower division, but manager Ally McCoist has stayed.

A decision of whether to let Dunfermline, who were relegated from the SPL last season, or Dundee, who finished second to Ross County in the first division, is imminent.

I reflected on his comments for a moment before posting and concluded the only fitting response is this: GIRFUY!

punish them but don't send them aw the way doon, we still want their money!

Girfuy

[PeterheadBear 1]

Inverness voted no to the club getting into the SPL and now they're moaning about financial fall out.... jokers.

[heartofabear 1]

Emergency Already ? FFS

dont get too excited just yet; "emergency meeting" just means its not scheduled and called at short notice. its commonsense to do this now they know where we are playing to plan for the season ahead.

[papaguy51 941]

Shouldn't have voted us out the SPL then, you fucking idiot

[ger4life_1872 30,541]

They should have fucking thought about this before they voted no then

[Southside Jim 4]

Why moan about the situation within scottish football now that we're in div 3 !!

They had a chance to vote to keep us in the spl, but bottled out of it. Now it's all the fault of Rangers the the SFL teams.

Can't wait to see how loyal their fans are when they don't pay for the season tickets that they were gonna buy !!

Bye bye ICT !!

Don't say we didn't tell you Kenny.

Yeah - so why didn't he convince his SPL colleagues of the importance of retaining Rangers in the SPL and vote for us to be admitted. This guy, and the other chairmen of SPL clubs should hang their heads in shame. They rode a "hate Rangers and what they stand for" bandwagon thinking that was smart - well it doesn't look too bloody clever now does it.

Such breathtaking ignorance. You wanted sporting integrity for the SPL, but you want the SFL to ignore it to save your club from the consequences of sporting integrity. Shameful, utterly shameful.

[SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,993]

hope they die

and I hope we do everything in our power to kick them while they are down same goes for every other Scottish club

oh and I hope all the fans suffer

Didn't the Scottish bard come out with something that the likes of Doncaster and Regan should be reflecting on? Something about the best laid schemes o' mice an' men. The scheme has unraveled. And now you all look, being generous, insanely stupid.

In simple terms......Aw fuck...what have we done

[delparlane 6,001]

One more thing: this blatantly deliberate decision to refer to us repeatedly as "Newco" rather than Rangers really frosts my baws. Hell mend them and their like-minded ilk.
