It's horrible to see them have this much trouble. I was hoping for a lot more.
There's always Friday.........:greengrinQuote:

The Daily Record, perhaps more than any other newspaper, has exposed what has been going on behind the scenes at our club – particularly over the last four years.Quote:

But - most notably - didn't the 'R*tard' tell you Craig Whyte's wealth was 'off the radar' ??
Still - a shocking way to treat the club-newspaper - it's supported both old and new versions of the Hun !!
I like the blue knights - just couldn't get the images of a Barron Knights tribute band out of my head.Quote:

So now King has got his EGM (despite reports to the contrary) and its a reported cost of £200,000 - who (is supposed to) pays for that
money up front I hopeQuote:

Yes and lets not forget the Sports editor at the time was emailing his articles to Craig Whyte to get the ok with the content, couldnt be more corrupt. Same person then got high paid job at club as well.Quote:

The traditional hun hatred of the DR has caused the non-thinkers to celebrate the actions of their hated board and applaud them for kicking out the rancid newspaper, which is ironically spotlighting and exposing the self same hated board. The brighter ones are beginning to turn to hypocrisy and have decided to cuddle up to the DR and Keith Jackson's deep searching investigative journalism for the next few weeks till the board are kicked out at their big meeting. They say the new board will reverse the DR ban and ...... oh wait, will they not have to revert to hating the Daily Record as usual? You couldn't write a funnier script.:greengrin
My only real disappointment in all of this is that the MSM are not sticking the boot in. They are never slow to crow about other clubs when they hit the skids - this is a massive story, yet they continue to act like rabbits in the headlights.
They don't quite believe its happening, I think most of the MSM still think this will blow over and The rangers will be back with a full hunbrox winning stuff. They hav'nt grasped quite how badly run, demoralised and **** the've become.Quote:

To be fair to Keith Jackson (despite what the Twitter hysterics would have you believe) in the post Rangers meltdown world he has persistently gone through the charlatans running Rangers like a dose of salts and handed out thoroughly deserved kickings in print to the likes of Whyte, Green, Ahmed, Murray, and now he has earned the ire of fat Mike and Llambias resulting in the ban.
That ban will be nothing short of a wet dream to the boys at the Record's Sports Desk.
You'd have thought the absence of succulent lamb in the press lounge would have had them wondering.Quote:

It is clearly a mouthpiece for the criminal Dave King and his cronies at the moment hence the reason the current board have banned them and hence the reason the crap they print won't change one bit.
In the end though who really cares as I doubt many non Rangers or Celtic supporters still buy this rag.
'mong-media' is hilarious too BUT not without a touch of irony/hypocrisy ? -Quote:

I would also add ET and Gollum to the list.
.....................
Of course, Souness DIDN'T sign Mo Johnson (as recently, compared to their history, in 1989), mainly, because of the failure CAUSED by their 100+ years of dedication/devotion to religion and heritage ??.
'IT' is sectarian ?? - Wtf ?? - one of THEM accusing anyone of being SECTARIAN ??
That's either either deliberate or an 'under-cover Kafflik' ??
I was amazed to see the arguments against a Dave King takeover by the current board including a reference to his 'problems' with the South African tax authorities.
That might have been a fair call if you disregard the fact the the main power at the Big Hoose (apart from Ashley) is Sandy Easdale who did time comparatively recently for VAT fraud.
Not as comparatively recently as King who would still be inside if he hadn't handed over his £40million.Quote:

'World Football's biggest game', ''World's biggest clubs/fans', 'OF for the EPL', 'SFA at fault', 'Anti-Rangers' etc, etc have reguarly been screamed out from it's headlines !!Quote:

Of course the Record is unashamedly Pro Old Firm. That's who buys it.Quote:

If it's balanced football reporting you want then head to the Bleacher Report or occasionally the UK based qualities
Hibs really want this to rumble and rumble. If they get a positive result at the EGM, it will galvanise the support and they will get a good manager in, like McCall.
Hope this mess continues
Thankfully it has to :greengrin even if they manage to oust Big Mike and the rest of the plastic Geordies they will quickly find out that they really "don't do walking away", they will need to be paid whatever price he reasonably wants for his shares, plus those nasty secured loans - so far none of the other "the rangers men" have been able to put up the sort of cash Ashley has - this one will roll for a bit yet, and there will be another tax or NI bill potentially.Quote:

Sorry, but I don't quite trust your reading of the media landscape.
The loan has to be repaid in full to get Ashley's directors off the board, regardless of the GM (from what I've read)-Quote:
