Absolutely no sympathy. They've brought it on themselves. Other countries don't seem so ready to accept some of the stuff that we appear to have to put up with when der hun come visiting.Quote:

Let’s wait and see if they will reimburse their fans who lose money as gesture of two-way loyalty. Beggars belief that they won’t. :greengrin
Maybe the Lyon officials had seen a video of The Rangers supporters at... any away match at all.
(In fact, Lyon Hibs: did you have anything to do with this..?)
Anyway, a close call for the residents of Lyon. They can now relax and enjoy their week. If only we could have banned them from Edinburgh last week.

But it's not, so I have none.
A few Budgisms in there.Quote:

I like their ad banner beneath the article for their shop.
21/22 home shirt - was £65 now £65.
If only Edinburgh had Festivals at different times of the year to give us a reason to ban them from Easter Road....
To be fair the socks are just as good a bargain at £16 having been £16Quote:

Looks like more delaying and disruption tactics incoming. I feel there must be a negative story coming along in need of deflection 🤔. That’s when these stories usually appear is it not?

Get them to make favourable noises for the huns to highlight what an injustice it all is and what does an actual court decision matter? Unless of course it's in their favour .

They will be keen to have Dave King back in that case. After all he sorted these contracts out and saw off Ashley previously. 😂Quote:

You're right, I can see Sevco demanding an apology and the compliance officer saying sorry[emoji6]Quote:

I see they are entering in to big celebrations marking the first “major European club” to reach a 150th anniversary.
They go way beyond self-aggrandisement, you could say they are the quintessential exponents of it.
they’ll go all out on the 150 year stuff… overcompensating for the fact that it’s really only their 10th birthday.Quote:

Of course they did. The dugs in the street knew.

So...

We were certainly seen as one of Europe's prestigous clubs at that time..
Strangely ,Chelsea were invited, but under pressure from EFL, who saw the tournament as a" distraction to the domestic game",withdrew from the invitation !
Now they cannot get enough European football !!

Not all partipants were their own domestic league champions.
It was a great success and our club added to that .
Pity television was not as it is now.
Some terrific teams played... world class players ....and plenty goals !
Harry Swan was correct,where many others were not.
It was not a gimmick ....and it did catch on !!
On topic
thank goodness the zombies were not there.
We wouldn't hear the end of it
Edit
I might add
Uncles and older cousins of my family believe had the tournament began a few years earlier,we would have won it !!
The FF were in decline, yet still made the semi final.
Did this guy sanction all the EBT's. :greengrinAttachment 25460
Cannae see it, I always thought Jason King was one of the good guys[emoji6]Quote:

Hope it’s appealed.

Personally I’m glad we’re not paying huge sums to another of these charlatans.
I think they were separate cases. It was possible to maliciously prosecute Greens alleged wrongdoing but that was long after prosecuting Whites.Quote:
