If anyone sees Sandy Jardine any time soon, please give him a big 'up yours, bignose' from Beefster. Rimmer that he is.
There is a wee bit on here near the bottom of the page where Jardine is holding meetings with fans to decide which clubs they will hold sanctions against !
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17858087
Please do and just stay away for ever.
Anyone else get the impression that rather than Whyte being the puppet it's actually McCoist - you never see a picture of him from the back! Wonder Why?
Meanwhile, former Rangers captain Sandy Jardine, who works behind the scenes at Ibrox, revealed supporters groups will meet on Saturday to discuss implementing sanctions against other clubs.
"We are going to have a meeting with all the delegates from the whole of Britain, and some of them will be flying in from abroad," said Jardine.
"Out of that, the supporters will take sanctions against clubs which we deem to have been unfair to ourselves.
I used to have some (albeit grudging) respect for McCoist and Jardine but they are just making utter phannies of themselves now.
Will that include Clubs that have asked for the money Rangers are due them or just teams that have beaten them this season.
Also, I hope they don't pick on us cos of what Rod said about sporting integrity. How can they blame a whole Club for the actions of one man ? :greengrin :greengrin
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17860410
That being the case, Sally McWattie must be next in line!!:cb
If rangers are thrown out of the Spl just exactly how if boycotting other clubs going to have any impact?
Maybe Paul Le Guen should return - a French farce would be the icing on the case.
http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottis...t-other-clubs/
Apart from yelling We arra peepul at the reporter, could Sandy have displayed any more of the Hun Uebermenschen complex. :rolleyes:
If the rest of Scottish football (are you listening, Rod?) doesn't consign these cheating ******* to the wilderness for the sake of a tv deal then I ****** despair I really do.Quote:
Jardine said that the club should be treated differently because of the club’s stature and said that the outcome had implications for other clubs, including direct action taken by Rangers supporters groups.
“I know from talking to the supporters, and the feeling within the club is, that we can’t do any more than put our case forward,” he said. “If they [the SPL and SFA] are starting to ignore us and not take it into consideration then ok, we’ll go down a division.
“Rangers are a special case mainly because of the size of the club within Scottish football and what it delivers.
Can I begin the word bingo
"wounded animal"
"life support"
"worldwide fan base"
"won't be kept down for long"
"seek vengeance"
Sounds like the lunatics have taken over the asylum!
Even Watty seems to have taken the gloves off.
They are getting a bit nasty at the wrong time as the rest of the clubs still have to decide what to do with them.
If they take a wee fine and a transfer embargo this hard how are they going to react if they get some proper sanctions against them?
It's quite unbelievable what Jardine is saying - what a complete and utter moron. This crowd really know how to keep on digging don't they ?
They are behaving like the corrupt Junta of some teetering Banana Republic desperately trying to cling on to power in the face of a democratic coup d'etat. They are using the terminology of war. Get this you freaks, it is not a war, it is a sport: one that you have sullied and poisoned and spoiled for decades with your bullying, cheating, hubris and bigotry. You sang about how nobody liked you (probably not really believing it), and you didn't care, well wake up and smell the buckfast: nobody else does like you and Scottish football will be far, far better without you.
Surely a club employee organising boycotts against other clubs will lead to another charge of bringing the game into disrepute.
At this point in time they should be licking arse, not kicking it.
The Hun hordes are getting very upset. Funny how they are quick to lash out at the SFA and SPL not to mention 'sanctions' against other clubs when they have not uttered a peep about the people who got them into their current mess. Watty, Swally and Jokedine saying **** all about the man that made them rich. Funny that.....
Sanctions.....sanction...don't make me laugh. What power to a crumbling football club have over its rivals as far as 'sanctions' go?.....none. Bring it you Bigoted imbeciles don't turn up for 2(or perhaps 1) games at ER. Do I give a ****? Can Hibs afford to take a 100-200K hit from missing out on your 'custom'? Yes...no probs. Bring it.
are they no deed yet?
Remember when the Yams were being charged for paying their players late? The thing that really got their goat was being charged with failing to act with the utmost good faith towards the SPL and other clubs. We now have two representative of Rangers FC encouraging fans to carry out 'sanctions' against other clubs and the SPL as well as the SFA. That's a far more clear cut breach than the Yams offence ever was.
Does SJ reads the papers? Jeez, even Sally's found a brand new word this week i.e. "fair".
Are they blind, arrogant or really that stupid. Do they think we've got zips up the back of our heids?
Unlike a lot of folks on this site, I do have some sympathy for the decent Rangers fans (and they do exist) but when the likes of Sandy Jardine (originally a Hearts fan, BTW) comes out with drivel like this, well, I give up.
With a wife that preferred a wee fat Hearts player(allegedly)and a son who was jailed perhaps Sandy is a bit deranged these days.
I think the talk of the lunatic fringe within the Hun support is both accurate and worrying. Every crackpot conspiracy theorist is pouring petrol on the flames on the Rangers messageboards, and according to them everyone from the SFA, the Catholic church, the BBC, the Labour Party and many others are involved in a conspiracy to kill Rangers off. They claim this isn't a financial issue at a fooball club, it's nothing less than an attempt to destroy Protestantism in Scotland. Notwithstanding the fact that Rangers' problems are entirely financial and of their own making, the nutters amongst them are really stirring things up and creating a siege mentality. Already there have been threats against the SFA panel. They have to be told they can't intimidate their way out of potential liquidation nor be allowed to play upon hatred and prejudice.
Raith director is one of the panel of three and gives his view, interesting that they got advice from a number of people.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17858090
Can't believe Hately's article in the DR, He should be getting charged by the police for inciting hatred.
They are simply **** and all there posturing is only going to make everyone want to punish them more.
I mean genuinely saying we are too big to be relegated is pathetic. It's like saying to someone "Do you now who I am"
Only ****ers do that!!
I know Eric personally, from him giving up his spare spare time to help referee the amateur leagues in Perth, and he has always come across as a fair person with a love of football.
If he is receiving any sort of personal abuse on the back of this decision then those dishing it out need to have a long hard look at themselves.
I have just finished reading the last 10 or so pages of this thread and am at a loss for words ( nearly )
If super Ally didnt think for one minute that his outburst would result in threats to the panel members then he must be seriously stupid !!!
Mark Hately's column in the Daily Record was probably the most stupid, ill informed and biased piece of rubbish I think I have ever read on a football related matter .... The fact that the DR published it without a second thought says everything that needs to be said about that apology for a newspaper.
As for Sandy Jardine ( a man who made a career in football by perfecting the pass back to the keeper ) What he had to say was beyond arrogance, even for a rangers supporter. "special case" What the hell does that mean? Rangers have been caught cheating but should be allowed to get away with it because they are a big club ..... What a moron !!!
As for the laughable " sanctions against clubs who have hurt rangers" Fkng bring it on ya bunch of trumpets. If your so called sanctions means my ears wont be assaulted by the constant stream of bigoted vile tripe seeping out of the South stand twice a season, fantastic ... that sort of sanction I welcome with open arms.
It seems to me that over the past few months EVERYBODY connected with Rangers football club has shown a quite frankly mind boggling willingness to address every aspect of the situation, apart from the reality of it. Their attempts to blame everybody apart from themselves is somewhere between delusional and embarrassing. Astonishingly the people you would expect to keep a clear head in this situation are the ones pandering to the worst elements of the clubs support. Stand up Smith, McCoist, Hately and now Jardine.
And all of this Supported to a rediculous extent by the press and media who just cant seem to take a backward step from decades of kissing the erchie of the OF.
The sooner that club and the arrogant morons who run it and to a large degree support it are consigned to the dustbin of football history the better. Until that happens football ( at least in Scotland ) will never be "the beautiful game !!!!!!!!!!!
I think the actions of the knuckledraggers and those who should know better are likely to engineer a situation where not only does the Hun Newco not get into the SPL but that they are denied entry into SFL3.
Keep up the good work.
Jardine can go f*** right off, Me White is the rangers owner and his decisions were to benifit Rangers FC, so the club should be punished
What do they want??? no fine no ban just a slap on the wrist n dont do it again???
Me personally think they got of likley when you see what happening in switzerland, a 12 moth ban not that bad compared to that
Also sanctions against other clubs what they going to do not go to away ground? if so not bother me + their beloved cheating club not got any money from ticket sales....empty threat if you ask me
Oh n Mark Hatley can f*** off also with his article in the daily rangers today
The club has been caught out cheating the system so take your punishment!!!!!
Another thing to remember is the D&F were brought in under CW and i suggest that they this mess is dragging on, if HMRC go their wish to appoint their own team this farse would have been over by now!!
I promised myself i would stop having a look on Rangers Media as its just become increasingly poisonous but thought i just had to share this one with my fellow .netters. One word describes this opening to a thread....WOW !
There are many radical ideas which could and should be considered.
- Start another league with teams like Hearts, Dundee and middle Div 1 teams.
- Leave Scottish football for any level in England or possibly even Wales, Northern Ireland or indeed, the Republic.
- Take a break from Scottish competitive football to play in two-leg friendly matches
If we're out of Europe for at least a year, possibly three, and penalised in many separate draconian ways, then why not seize the chance to become the first big club to tell the whole structure of footballing authority, from FIFA through UEFA down to SFA and SPL?
Large clubs have had their own associated groupings since the G14, through to the European Club Association and have always been looking to gain more power. Why not be the first to start the breakaway?
Feel free to propose your own ideas.
I actually posted that without reading the rest of the thread, go on and have a look at the other jovial ideas....http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/inde...owtopic=218259
I particularly like...."start shooting c***s"
Now even the press are joining in! .... http://t.co/ngcz39DQ
"Thomson complained he had been threatened by an unnamed Scots journalist while reporting the placing into administration of Rangers FC, in February, at the same time criticising local media coverage of the story"
:rolleyes:
Quite ironic rangers posters demanding transparency and that the 3 panel members are unmasked whilst giving out threats and abuse whilst hiding behind a user name :)
There are so many levels on which that's funny, but one serious point.
Rangers have cheated in pursuing success over a long-term period. They have sought ways to get out of the league they are in over a long-term period.
Why would anyone want to join with them or admit them to their league when their proven track record is one of cheating and betrayal?
The saddest thing is their inability to man up, take responsibility for their actions and behaviour, and face the consequences. Corruption is one thing, cowardice just adds to their shame.

New Rangers Shirt for next season!

Would people be interested in this? Turn your back at the 15th minute to protest against zombie Huns being parachuted back onto the SPL in the event of a newco being set up.
Would remind the 'Tache what the majority of us think before he attends the SPL meeting on Monday.
All this been happening over last few years :
Portsmouth were hit with a transfer embargo from the Premier League for failing to pay money owed to other clubs.
Coventry City were hit with a transfer embargo for failing to file their accounts in time.
Birmingham were hit with a transfer embargo for failing to file their accounts in time.
Cardiff City were hit with a transfer embargo due to a delay in paying debts, including £1.3m owed to HM Revenue and Customs.
Port Vale have been put under a transfer embargo by the Football League because of unpaid bils
Wycombe Wanderers have been placed under a transfer embargo after failing to file their accounts on time.
Swiss league ban 4 teams due to money reasons
Why should Rangers be any different?????
In 1990, during the Mercer takeover bid, I played in a pro-am golf competition at Longniddry.
It was a most enjoyable afternoon until Sandy Jardine, who was working for the sponsors (a brewery IIRC) gave us the honour of his company as we played.
He cracked a joke - "have you heard the new Hibs song?" No Sandy what is it? "Hearts Hearts Glorious Hearts" replied the tosser giving a little chuckle!
Well Sandy, what goes around comes around - you're not laughing much now!!! (tho much of what you're saying now is laughable).
They (the club and the support) are now flagrantly pandering to the lowest common denominator within the Rangers support: namely bigotry and violence. Utterly shameful and dangerous. They cannot be allowed to use the (union) Jack boot to walk over justice.
I think it should have lots of stars :agree: a star for every million they've bumped somebody out of :greengrin

Posted by someone called Dennis - "Posted Today, 07:49 PM
I like this. A Proddy League. Us, Dundee, Hearts, Raith Rovers, East Stirling, Falkirk etc"
Dennis really needs to stop judging people by his own standards. Does he not realise that, as far as football is concerned, nobody else in the world gives a toss about what religion a person is except in planet OF. Normally I am quite a tolerant sort of person but the sooner this poison is out of Scottish football the better.
You know what, for the first point in this I say;
**** them.
Seriously, who does Jardine think he is? Sanctions against other clubs who have been 'unfair' to them? Who is this exactly? Dundee United for having the audacity to demand their money? Dunfermline? Hearts? Or are they exempt for being a fellow 'proddy' club?
The SFA has to act and must act now. They handed down their punishment and Rangers have declared open season, ridiculing the SFA, attacking the league, other clubs, the whole integrity of the game in this country, all the while stoking up violent and abusive behaviour with their support.
The SFA cannot stand silently by. It must act now. Ban these ignorant, arrogant, blinkered, self serving ******** from the game, worsen the punishment on the club for kicking up such a fuss with zero grounds for an actual appeal or these morons will win and all the rest of us will lose.
The rangers fans are boycotting:
William Hill by closing online accounts
Refusing to shop in Tesco
Refusing to enter Greaves Sports
Will not buy Vauxhall cars
Will not enter McDonalds
Cancelling their Sky subscriptions
Refusing to be taken to court by G4S ( I made that up)
Not buying Carling lager
And most importantly they are refusing to darken the doors of Hampden for the national team and attend away SPL games.
Plus they want to play in the SFL next season.
All because they were punished for cheating over a period of time and cannot spend money now on transfers; money that they don't have anyways.
Seemingly also Kennedy is officially with the BK's and tomorrow will 'land a haymaker'.
Me neither btw
The same thing with "super ally" saying that "the vultures are starting to circle" :rolleyes:
No that when Der Hun came calling for Andy Goram and their ugly sister stole John Collins :rolleyes:
Pot Kettle .. **** them, I'm starting to get a tad pi55ed off with all this "big man" talk from grayskull :rolleyes:
Something quite interesting happened in the wake of the Muhammad Cartoons which has a parallel here. After the imams (eventually) managed to whip up a wetty in backward/fundamentalist parts of the muslim world, there were a number of boycotts declared on Danish goods - mostly cheese and dairy products (they weren't importing much bacon). However - a number of Danish companies (Lurpak and Bang & Olufson among them) reported an overall rise in revenues as the losses experienced in the muslim world were not only offset by, but outstripped by an increase in demand from 'western' countries sympathetic to the idea of free speech or, quite probably, people in those countries who don't like muslims.
The parallel is that for every hun who cancels Sky or 'doesn't buy a Vauxhall' (yeah, whatever) there are x-number of people, who hate the huns, who immediately become sympathetic to these brands. By all means boycott a product if you disapprove of their ethics or business practices or if their product is ****, but a unilateral boycott based on what are basically 'tribal' reasons is not likely to have much of a long-term impact. Lloyds is still a going concern, despite the hun closing accounts, moving mortgages (I'd be keen to know how many actually did in reality, other than the swallow swallow fantasy) and the like because the bank had the temerity to, er, ask for its money back.
I'd been looking at a nice football shirt that was on sale in Greaves Sports online store. Never used them before, and now I'm a customer.
Very funny Mr Jardine. How funny is a punch in the face ya F****** Rangers b******?
Willy Pullar Jardine to give him his proper name. Not funny, just factual.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17864305
Not the war cry i expected from Thompson.
See the sidebar by Roger Hannah, Sports News Editor and weep with despair for an enlightened fourth estate in this once-glorious, now ****ed-up little nation of ours. I am truly going to emigrate to so somewhere moderate like Equatorial Guinea (after we have horsed the Yams in the Cup Final, of course!)M
Why do they have to drag religion into everything? As an atheist I regard all religion as superstition, though I respect the right of all to have a faith. Yet why do the Huns have to see their present crisis through the prism of some anti-Protestant agenda? Most of them never go to church nor understand what being a Christian means. I'm tired of their unintelligent rubbish. I just want them gone.
I think there has been far too much pussyfooting about on this thread. Far too many folk sitting on the fence or, heaven forbid, even sympathising with the poor wee Huns.
It is about time we told them the truth, what we really think about them.
So here is my contribution
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJDLhTU6Vss
Jardine ?? FUD
Rangers and Celtic unveil new strips on same day, same sort of basis. If anyone is in any doubt that they act together....were the other ten invited to do a similar launch?
After decades of cheating, bullying and corruption, I can only see three viable options for Rangers - burial, cremation, or they can just get stuffed.

“WALTER Smith has asserted that Craig Whyte remains the biggest problem facing former club Rangers and, until he is banished from the scene, their difficulties will continue.”
“The problem we have got is that he [Whyte] is still here, that is the biggest problem Rangers have got”
More dangerous talk from Rangers people, this time it is Walter Smith’s turn to make comments that the dafties will take as an open invitation to intimidate, abuse, threaten, assault and, yes, even murder. But it will be alright because once some or all of these things have happened, the press will just accept Walter’s explanation that it was not what he meant or intended by his comments. When will these people stop and think before they demonise.
THis is the bit that caught my eye.
“If we were gaining a major advantage by spending a lot of money we didn’t have, fine. But we weren’t doing that, Smith insisted.
“The club was living within its means. It was going well and needed a bit of investment. The circumstances surrounding Rangers have to be taken into consideration because that makes them a different administration case. It’s the action one individual [Whyte] has taken. People working here had no idea of what Craig Whyte was doing. It’s wrong that he could come in and leave this situation.
Is this the same Rangers that lost 2.5 million in six weeks after administration, dont tell me all of this is to blame on Whyte.
Funny how quickly they are rewriting the history books.
This is a super read, if nobody has seen it
http://www.scottishfootballblog.co.uk/
Did anyone really expect Rangers just to meekly accept their virtual destruction?
"Thank you sir, may I have another one."
Of course they will defend their club in whatever ways they can.
It just remains to see how the SFA stand up to the pressure, which will be intense and unrelenting.
I don't envy their task.
Ticketus are about to announce they won't be part of any takeover of RFC.
They'll still be looking for their investment back though.
I've just read this, and contrasted it with the Hately piece, which I've looked at with (to borrow some of his hysterical narrative) an increasing sense of stunned disbelief.
The first makes clear sense. The latter is a rant from a stupid, stupid man who presonifies all that is wrong with Rangers - arrogance, sneering conceit and blinkered superiority complex. If for no other reason (and lets face it there are loads), I hope Rangers die just to see what dribblingly incoherent garbage he comes out with and see his stupid, stupid face crumple in disbelief.
I came across this the other day Logical Fallacies Poster
It struck me that people defending Rangers and their actions employ a staggering 12 or 13 of these Logical Fallacies in their arguments. Can you spot them all...?:greengrin
He explained that.........
They were speculating to accumulate.Quote:
“If we were gaining a major advantage by spending a lot of money we didn’t have, fine. But we weren’t doing that, Smith insisted.

****ing accountants what do they know? :grr:
We should have a "football person" explaining the finer points of this to us
:greengrin
Ticketus will shortly announce that they will not be funding any takeover of Rangers.
Looks like the BK's are out of the running, not that they were ever seriously in it :na na:
Ticketus is set to announce that it will not fund any takeover bid for Rangers.
It is understood that the tough sanctions imposed on the Ibrox side by the SFA earlier this week were the decisive factor for the company.
A Ticketus source told STV News: “A lot has happened over the last few weeks and, especially after the SFA’s decision, we no longer think we can get a return for our investors.”
Ticketus first came to prominence when it emerged Rangers owner Craig Whyte received £25.3m, with the company buying the rights to 100,000 season tickets for the next four years.
