1:Drysdale is the author of that information. 
 

2:Unsure, waiting for outcome of police investigation before making any statement...maybe?
 

3:The evidence Rangers have has never been made public. 

And its Drysdale who is the author of the information which says Dundee's vote was submitted AND Drysdale who posted the whatsapp picture. If we're taking Drysdale at his word that he submitted the vote with no evidence to back it up, why wouldn't we take his word Nelms told him not to resubmit?

If I'm being honest, I'd be STUNNED if there's any police involvement at this point. Had it been passed to the polis, you can bet your last that it would have leaked by now.

Rangers' evidence hasn't been made public but it the polis are involved, wouldn't the whistleblower have gone there instead of to Rangers?

When the compliant tarrier media are turning on their club you know it’s big. 
 

We’ve been battered from pillar to post for years, clubs have lost millions/sponsors etc to benefit one club in the top league who were walking into the CL unchallenged for years on the spin. 
 

It’s our time now to turn the tables again and I believe that’s coming now, it has too. 
 

Lawwell knew of UEFAs position about abandoning leagues, that’s why this has been railroaded so quickly so that they can be given the title. The fact that they’ve been untouchable for years has led to a perception they can literally do what they want, only this time someone’s fucked up along the way.

Ally McCoist has a chance to let a lot of English listeners know about the corruption in the Scottish game.

Hopefully he grabs it with both hands ans hammers that fat alike bastard Brazil at the same time.

Their whole 8 in a row must be under suspicion now.

Their favourite ref Kevin Clancy started reffing in 2013, his very first game was in the SPL.

Fast tracked by whom and based on what? 

Has any other ref went straight to the top league like that before?

What do we know so far about the evidence we have? Is it the same as whats out in the public just now, or is it claimed we have something else that no ones seen?

If Dundee tried to work a flanker did they not think it would be exposed anyway? Or did they think the 'unexpected bargaining power' would get them off the hook?

Dundee, and the Thistles always had that leverage anyway as they knew they could crash the proposal at any time. 

The only thing that makes sense is Dundee have been pushed/persuaded to wiithdraw. If Rangers have clear evidence of this things will get very interesting.

“Record journo talk sense” shocker!!

Glad you posted that, we really need to be told EXACTLY why the least contentious, the fairest and most obvious solution was taken off the table before discussions or voting began.

Who decided it wasn’t an option? When? Why? Who did he consult?

The “losers” (scum, Dundee scum, cove) have worked and their efforts would end up counting for nothing. But that doesn’t begin to compare to relegating teams who could easily have stayed up. That’s not unfortunate, that is unjust.

We haven’t pushed for null and void nor should we but I would expect others in the media to start asking the questions above.

Spot on.

Verifiably false.

He done several league one games in 09/10

League One, League Two, Challenge Cup, Scottish Cup and Championship in 10/11

Premiership, League One, League Two,, Scottish Cup and two internationals in 11/12

Prem, championship, L1, L2, LC, CC, SC, international friendlies and two world cup qualifiers in 12/13.

Not listened to Talksport in ages but surely to fuck Adrian Durham will be all over this tomorrow if he is still there.

Why would they send a signed sheet to the other clubs showing a no vote. That's not dishonest. That would be something much more sinister.

Like I said.  I’m only guessing that they did this to put themselves in poll position to get a deal that suits them.  Did they do it in isolation or were they tapped up, I don’t know.  Hopefully that is where the evidence the club say they have comes in.

Whole thing needs be ripped up, even down to the referees. 
 

There isn’t a season gone by where a ref is close to picking up a winners medal cause he’s reffed the same team that many times during a season. Clancy was on track to ref about a third of celtics games this season, how is that even possible when there’s at least 6 refs available every weekend?  Nobody can come up with a valid explanation for that

Ideally, we have something from the SPFL side discussing how to deal with Dundee’s “vote” or a quid pro quo for them dropping it. Don’t think release of the screenshots would constitute whistleblowing. 

I hope so.  We need something far more damming to push this through.  I can’t see the club firing shots at them if we didn’t have it.
