Kowalski Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I have a present for you... I couldn't be arsed trawling back through all the shite to see if this had been offered before. You're right capitalsharpie. Don't let them get you down. Salmond is quite obviously a prick but tell me what politician isn't? But compared to Blair and Brown? No contest. Blair is an utter cunt of a man but as far as I'm aware has not waded into the Rangers debate, hence why there was a discussion about Salmond in this thread.

maverick sheep Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it needs stamped out then let the bigots fucking die! See article from Scotland on Sunday which clearly highlights the wrong doings of the friendly chappies down Govan way.................... By Andrew Smith Published on Saturday 18 February 2012 17:36 A SORRY end to the sorriest of weeks for Rangers. It was somehow expected that administration and the ensuing adversity would inspire Rangers on the field. In normal times, that might well have been the case. But these aren’t normal times. Aside from the fact the stadium was full and in, at times worryingly, full voice, this really was a return to the 1980s for the club – but with the added grimness of possible financial oblivion. In past seasons, through all sorts of crises, the pitch has proved a sanctuary for Rangers. Yesterday, it was a purgatory. They certainly weren’t helped by losing Sasa Papac to a straight red card for a reckless challenge on Liam Kelly three minutes before the interval, or being denied a goal when referee Iain Brines ruled out a Lee McCulloch header for a foul elsewhere on goalkeeper Cammy Bell, but they didn’t help themselves. Now 14 points adrift of Celtic and only six in front of third-placed Motherwell, it is an easy get-out for them to claim that the ten-point deduction and the threat of redundancies ate into energy or concentration. But the reality is that with yesterday being the eighth time this season they have failed to win at home, their latest shapeless, directionless display was merely a continuation of the deficiencies at their core. Manager Ally McCoist lamented that they could not register a victory for their beleaguered support. “It is really, really painful,” he said, acknowledging that up front, without the departed Nikica Jelavic, and injured Kyle Lafferty and Steven Naismith, they lacked “class and power”. He praised their application in the second period, as they sought redress following Dean Shiels’ 12th-minute strike, but conceded it was “huff and puff” more than anything else. Kilmarnock were so much more measured and menacing, at least in the first half, than their hosts. As both their manager Kenny Shiels and his goalscoring son said afterwards, they broke quickly and purposefully on an opposing defence that were left flat-footed when Paul Heffernan worked his way down the left channel and crossed for his strike partner. Shiels, from the edge of the area, cut inside Lee Wallace and slid a low drive past Allan McGregor’s right. The Ayrshire club then had opportunities to add to their advantage, Heffernan and Jamie Fowler passing up good openings, and the frustration felt by a Rangers team simply unable to get going was perhaps reflected by Papac going with his foot up on Kelly to end his afternoon. When referee Brines followed this up by disallowing a McCulloch header into the roof of the net, chants of “who’s the Fenian in the black?” rang round the ground. It continued a tone set earlier on. Initially, the manner in which a packed Ibrox put throats and feeling into their shows of support for team and club was genuinely heart-warming. It was surely in a knowing fashion they gave extra decibels to the “spend your last dime” line in their anthem Penny Arcade. That segued into “Super Ally”, “We Love You Rangers” and then “Derry’s Walls”, with its apposite theme of “no surrender”. So far, so acceptable. It didn’t last, though. Soon, they spat out “Fenian bastards” in their “Super Rangers” ditty, following that up with the “Billy Boys”, with their “up to our knees in Fenian blood” phrase that is proscribed in the SPL’s acceptable conduct charter and landed them in bother with UEFA. The fact is that a section of the Rangers support crave their club’s survival so they have an outlet for their bile and are as unpalatable as their current, gone-to-ground owner. Kilmarnock manager Shiels praised the Ibrox support but admitted his euphoria from the day came in silencing them after the title was won at Rugby Park on the final day of last season. “I’ve been hurting inside since last May, as have the players,” he said, labelling his team’s efforts “fantastic”. “When you watch Rangers coming to Kilmarnock and after seven minutes I see our supporters walking down the steps to leave the ground, I thought I would never be able to pay them back. Ayrshire is a Rangers area – to have them come to our patch and win the championship was fantastic for them but for our supporters it was hard to take. I didn’t think I could ever be able to make amends for that. Now we’ve done the double over them for the first time as an SPL club so I hope that has gone some way to paying them back.” Rangers could be suffering payback time for their recent travails for a long time to come, meanwhile.

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 A PROBE into Rangers’ finances has revealed a £250,000 payment to an ex-bankrupt’s company linked to an amateur football club. The payment was made in August to a firm run by Aidan Earley, one of Craig Whyte’s associates, the Record can reveal. We previously exposed a bizarre tie-up between the Glasgow giants and English side Banstead AFC. And now the scale of the financial relationship has been uncovered, just days after it was revealed that Rangers had failed to stump up £9million to the taxman in VAT and PAYE. The £250,000 was paid into an account in the name of Regenesis-Banstead Athletic FC. Earley, 44, who was bankrupted at the age of 22, and his brother Wulstan, 49, are involved with various firms operating under the Regenesis name. And Earley claimed when we revealed the Banstead link that Whyte hoped to groom future Rangers stars through the obscure English club. The latest revelation will astound Ibrox fans who watched their struggling team lose to Kilmarnock on Saturday. And manager Ally McCoist will be furious, especially when he was denied money for a badly needed striker in the January transfer window. The Ibrox side were plunged into administration last week after it was revealed Whyte had run up £9million of debt by failing to hand over VAT and PAYE on wages. Administrators Duff and Phelps have put top men Paul Clark and David Whitehouse in pursuit of the missing millions. It is believed they will be summoning Rangers’ directors to answer “serious questions”. Clark has admitted he does not know where the £24.4million Whyte raised by mortgaging off four years of season tickets to London firm Ticketus has gone. But the money was placed in the client account opened up by London lawyers Collyer Bristow when Whyte started his Rangers takeover. And the £250,000 which went to Regenesis-Banstead Athletic AFC was taken from that same account. Gary Withey, who became Rangers’ company secretary when Whyte took over last May, is a partner in Collyer Bristow. He will no doubt be one of the people whom the administrators will want to ask why a chunk of money was paid out to the English league minnows. Duff and Phelps are also trying to find out how Whyte found £18million to pay off a debt to Lloyds Bank – and if any of the cash came from the Ticketus deal. Whyte insists it came from his own wealth. But the weeks – maybe months – ahead at Ibrox are likely to be confrontational. And there could also be a bitter struggle for control. It’s believed Whyte ignored advice on how to settle with the taxman before being tipped over the edge last Tuesday. One of Earley’s Regenesis companies acts as kit sponsor for Banstead, who play in front of crowds of about 30 in the Combined Counties Premiership in Surrey. And Earley confirmed a tie-up between Rangers and Banstead, suggesting the English team would act as a feeder club, when we revealed the link earlier this month. Venture capitalist Earley said: “The context in which you refer to me is a possible involvement of Rangers with Banstead Athletic Football Club. “This is a project for developing young talent and has been two years in the making.” Rangers fans, who staged a massive show of defiance at Ibrox on Saturday, will want to know why the £250,000 was paid from the account where the millions raised against their season tickets was deposited. Earley denied at the time that Rangers had provided any funds to Banstead. And Banstead chairman and owner Terry Molloy claimed he knew nothing of Whyte’s involvement. He added of Earley: “We are just a small club and Aidan is a small part of it.” The Earley brothers are friends of Whyte and have been co-directors in some ventures. A third Earley brother, Brendan, who died recently, was Whyte’s right-hand man with Vital Holdings. It was dealings under the Vital Holdings banner that led to Whyte being banned as a director for seven years in 2000. A Rangers source said at the time: “People are scratching their heads about the sense in getting involved with a backwater team. If they want to invest in youth, they have their own academy. “If they want some kind of exchange set-up, would it not be better to get into a relationship with Real Madrid or AC Milan than Banstead Athletic?” Rangers declined to comment on the latest revelations last night.

You must have missed it. Everyone knows Salmond jumped in and made an arse of himself over this. Everyone also agrees that Brown and Blair are utter cunts. There is no discussion possible on these points of fact. If you re-read the record however, you'll see that there was anything but any "discussion" developing due to the infantile treatment of the poster known as capitalsharpie by others. Worse, the insulting posts directed at him STOPPED any debate possibilities in their tracks, as they have so often in the past, as they were intended to and just right in character. But you must have missed it, like you miss EVERYTHING you balloon of a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickofthedons Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I was thinking. If Rangers vs Celtic 4 times a year is stipulated in Sky's tv deal then surely this is also the main stumbling block in expanding the league. More teams means play each other twice and no tv deal... So surely if the huns do goto fuck and there a choice to let them back in the SPL or div 3 then boards must reject them into the SPL and get the league expanded asap. Surely despite what peoples views are on whether the league needs Rangers on not that most agree that we need to expand the league and have a pyramid system. This would be the perfect oppurtunity. And lets not kid ourselves, the Huns will be back in no time anyway. Hopefully by then the bigger league is successful and that attracts tv deals... Okay, I'm getting a bit carried away but this could be the best thing to happen for the long term future of our game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
