Green will cut a deal shortly imo and the media love in with Uncle Wattie will be on again.:yawn:

Murder MacLeod in the Record, about Sellick fans:

Quote:

They will be happy at winning the title but if they are halfway through the season and 25 points clear I can't see the stadium being full every week.

... but then ...

Quote:

I'd punish Rangers by docking them 30 points to give them no chance of winning the title but keep them in the SPL. Gates would still be high and Celtic v Rangers would pack the place out.

So, they wouldn't turn up if they were 25 pts clear but they would if it was 30? :confused:

Do you think he reads this pish back to himself?

He doesn't even write it!

Just answers a few questions posed by the journo, then the journo fill in the details according to the agenda set by his boss.

IMO.

I think you are wrong on most counts. The only cheerleader for the huns in any position of power was Doncaster and he's effectively been sidelined by the clubs and I suspect had a good thwacking from Regan, who I think is pretty capable and ensuring there is little recourse for the Hun by way of appeal.

The EBT findings cannot be put on NewHun - that would be illegal, whether or not its morally right or wrong, that is not Scottish Footballs fault.

And we should be patting ourselves for having a club who are tkaing the correct route. There is no possibility for league reconstuction for the start of this season. I'd accept no hun for a year then a reconsitituted HunCo playing an div 1 within a reconstructed league in 2013.

Don't see what optimism or pessimism has to do with any of this it's simply a discussion on what is happening or might happen as this pans out. Sure I passionately want to see sporting justice done on this one and share your reading of how Hibs have conducted themselves.

However until we see what comes of this six hour meeting of the three authorities I will reserve judgement on whether newco are goosed or not. Until I see a team of 18 year olds in The Rangers strips running out at East Stirling in a year or two I won't consider justice to have been done.

Oh by the way I looked up sarky git in the Scots dictionary and it said "Two Carpets".

Mind you Murder does have previous. On the Radio, a couple of months back, he stated that Rangers would be "liquidised".

I blame that Branco freekick that he took full on the napper in Italia 90.

No coincidence that he signed for Hibs quite shortly thereafter. :greengrin

£250k a year price of no Rangers assuming tv revenue remains the same. How many more season ticket holders do we need to make that up then roughly 6-700?

Only been reported. No official statement has been made and Aberdeen have denied they have made decision.

That figure is only valid assuming there would be no replacement fans of the team that DID play those games.

Looks like Club 12th of July are well and truly up to their knees in their own mess. As well as the complete lack of contrition, or any acceptance of blame, the delusion of their support is breath-taking. Two Rangers fans at my work, are telling me that they don't need to SPL. Now these are decent well educated sorts, and what they are telling me is that RFC will build back up through the leagues like a second X1 ,while at the same time, the current first team will operate like a Harlem Globetrotters franchise playing big bucks friendlies and of course entering and winning both cups. This is plan until the inevitable promotion back to the SPL or an " anticipated" invite to a bigger league.

Thanks, I wasn't sure which clubs had definitely nailed their colours to the mast at this stage. It's going to be very difficult for Rangers to get the votes they need. Celtic might actually vote for them due to money, but their fan will pressure will probably be key to a no. Killie and Motherwell have thrown it open to the fans, so I'd imagine a no vote. Aberdeen will vote no.
