Verheijen quit...do afc have ee staff running the site??

I'm not aware of anyone else who's deserved a place. Bit premature to be thinking about post-it notes. We've only just got a bit of stability so I'd rather give the old duffer a chance to earn a new deal, or retire gracefully.

And we're going into March still unbeaten in 2012. This summer's transfer dealings will be what defines Broon's tenure (unless of course we win the cup). A better start to next season and we should have enough to at least be close to the top 4.

2 out of 3 aint bad. KAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOM

IN (the pub)

So it begins http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-17130775 Ex-Rangers chairman Alastair Johnston has written to the administrators, asking if Craig Whyte has met the obligations set out in his takeover. The Ibrox club went into administration last week over an unpaid £9m tax bill. On Tuesday, the administrators and Mr Whyte confirmed that money from future ticket sales had been used to pay off an £18m debt to Lloyds Banking Group. Mr Johnson said Mr Whyte should lose secured creditor status and the debt Rangers owes him should be written off. Mr Whyte bought Sir David Murray's majority shareholding in Rangers in May 2011, agreeing to pay off the £18m the club owed to Lloyds Bank Group. Mr Johnston wrote to administrators, citing a written promise from Mr Whyte, which said that breaking the purchase terms would automatically extinguish the £18m Rangers debt which the financier took over from the bank. It was disclosed on Tuesday that Mr Whyte's loan to Rangers was not funded with his own money but with another loan dependent on future season ticket sales. Mr Whyte had previously denied that. Mr Johnston believes administrators could remove Mr Whyte's claim on club assets, making it easier for them to move the club to new ownership. Mr Johnston has already called on the administrators to investigate aspects of Mr Whyte's takeover of the club, and there is an inquiry being carried out for the Scottish Football Association. But the latest letter from the former chairman cites a clause in the circular to Rangers shareholders issued in June 2011 by Mr Whyte which could lead to a challenge to his position as secured creditor, with first call on club assets. While pledging funds for the club, including working capital and to develop the team player squad, Mr Johnston highlighted a clause that says the deal was "enforceable by both the club and the vendor", who was Sir David Murray. It went on to say: "A breach of any undertakings given by the Rangers FC Group in the agreement will result in the debt acquired being automatically extinguished." Mr Johnston's letter reminds the administrators, Duff and Phelps, that Sir David Murray has also raised these issues. The first time was in August, to which assurances came on 3 January. Sir David has repeated his request for further clarity more recently. With investors and supporters seeking ways to move Rangers out of administration, Mr Johnston points to Craig Whyte's "purported position as the primary secured creditor by dint of the £18m loan which he claims he has provided to the club on an unencumbered basis". By that, the letter is understood to mean that the conditions of the sale required the payment for the Rangers debt should not be secured against other assets. Yet it is now known that the loan was completed by borrowing against future ticket sales in a deal with a company called Ticketus. If the club no longer owes £18m to Craig Whyte, Mr Johnston's letter said it should be easier to find a route out of administration. Mr Whyte's statement, issued on Tuesday, said he had secured the loan from Ticketus - the London finance company from which the Rangers purchase was completed - with his own personal and corporate guarantees. While it was in return for a share of ticket revenue over three seasons, Mr Whyte said none of the Ticketus deal was secured against Rangers assets. A spokesman for Mr Whyte said he would not be responding to Mr Johnston's comments.

With no fullbacks or wingers I'm not sure how that's possible. Schoolboy error from the 74 year old donstalker!

maybe it's more about stopping away teams shoot where their fans are second half.

racists 6-1 rapists

hopefully not out for long. Injuries are a big problem, but it's a problem of our own creation that we now have to ask mcardle to play left back! did fine today but that's not going to end well.

Two teams with everything to play for, but no ability to play! also,chalali must get more game time. should have come on instead of smackie.

The fans turned out in force to naively show support for the cause. Of course that means the party songs were in full effect - even actual journalist have mentioned that.....on twitter....not in the actual media of course.... Nothing bad enough could possibly happen to rangers for the scum to get what they deserve. Also shows up the bullshit publicity stunt that the anti-bigot law is. If it needs stamped out then let the bigots fucking die!

Legalise em all. At least stop sacking the experts who take an evidence-based approach to policy.

AND GRIND

sometimes issues arise which suggest that enlightened dictatorship may well be a better option than simply giving people the vote because they were smart enough to fall out of their mother's clunge.

no one will vote the cunts out. otherwise, why wouldn't we, or anyone else, just have voted against the terms the OF have dictated to us before?? It is now abundantly clear that Whyte is going to have all this laid at his feet (probably while he remains out of the country). Whether liquidated or not, the huns (or huns 2.0) will be charged with say 1/3 of what they actually owe, but the dates of repayment will be renegotiated with HMRC and the next owners of the club. Does anyone genuinely think this is going to involve any semblance of justice?

The media narrative is always going to be dependant on who the editors are paying the hacks to write for. The only way the propaganda that rangers should be allowed to get away with this and continue as normal would be stopped is if a sizeable minority spoke out against it. There isn't a sizeable minority of football fans/thinkers/writers in Scotland out with the OF, and Celtic ppl don't want to risk the cushy number they have now, so this is going to play out in the most awful way possible. Even dandies believe the game is necessarily stronger with der hun (short term yes, but in terms of sustainable and equal development, not being bigger than one team - or one fixture even - means we can only be in a position of weakness) so the propaganda is always going to be that we should welcome them back with open arms. Bullshit. If they cheat and get away with it then the game may continue in Scotland but it'll be completely dead to me. One way or another, this is going to amount to the final nail in a coffin.

8/10 for the idea. 2/10 for the lyrics. DUZNAE CHIME

To be fair, Fyvie was goodin the middle of the park before his injury. With a run of games in which he's not shunted around all over the place, I'm sure he'd regain his form. Other than those issues, I fully expect his agent playing the usual game to put him in the shop window has turned his head and taken away his focus. It does seem like he could do with a 'rest' but the squad's fairly thin, so let's just hope he screws the nut.

do you mean to say the daily record was less than accurate when they suggested the landlord was left huddled in the corner crying, as hoards of dandies pillaged the rock and carried off the barmaids prior to the huns game?

release him.

when do i get my snifter?

Smells a lot like Airdrie to me.

this is just bits and pieces cut and paste from old stories. too busy wanking over the hun imlosion to do any real work.
