Chris McLaughlin ‏@BBCchrismclaugOn steps of Hampden, Raith Rovers chairman Turnbull Hutton says the game is corrupt. Says he's been lied to, threatened and bullied. #SFL

Quite an accusation! Look forward to hearing what he says to substantiate this. With such an illustrious first name I'd expect nothing but integrity

Now that's a statement.

Absolutely superb. Have a read at that Keevins, Traynor and all the other hun apologists.

Irrespective of the size, stature, history and resources of the club filling the vacancy, the opportunity exists for that club to find their way back to their natural tier in the league structure in a fair and equitable manner while being encouraged to trade and exist successfully within the means at their disposal.

Well done Stranraer and that from a club in a town where there are more huns per head of population than anything else!

[Lungo--Drom]

Look at it this way, excluding the Hootsmon, the tabloid papers and the Herald are all Glasgow based and so it will always be easier to report on something "a few doors down" than something 40 miles, 120 miles etc. away.

From experience in the north of Ireland these things are insidious and often unnoticed simply because they have 'always been' or certainly 'always been within living memory'. I'd imagine for over 40 years anyway but possibly longer the Old Firm has been the dominant side show in Scottish media. Unfortunately what has become clear is that although they are happy to report on both sides of the 'Old Firm' when it suits the fat poltroons who spout out the 'stories' for each day's edition, once the Huns started getting into deeper water than usual back in February we've had to put up with a whole farmyard's worth of sh*t being peddaled by these Wedgie-centric hacks. Those who operated behind a veil of 'Old Firm-ness' but who were actually Huns or pro-Huns have, sometime around mid-April, let their disguise fall away completely, spouting openly pro-Hun drivel. Celtic fans don't care because they see themselves as being the ultimate winners of the fantastic Billy v's Tim scrap and so they are currently seeing the world through green and white tinted specs. If nothing else this whole farce has shown just how many people in the media and Scotland in general have a bit of bigoted Hunnery hidden in them and also Scotland is clearly as corrupt as places like Italy and some African countries which is plain embarrassing.

If the bluenoses want to get any sort of credibility back they should just say

Ok we will go in to div 3 and do what everybody else has to do

Just stop bleating with yer sob and wasn't our fault stories...

Have you not figured out yet that you were right about one thing for all these years ... Yer song tha says

'We are rangers no-one likes us'

The quotes from Hutton in the BBC Football report on Saturday (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18656012) clearly implied theats and bullying, I was amazing that more wasn't made of it - glad to see he's turned it up a notch.

Le mot juste

[Treadstone]

Three things .

1. Gordon Brown the horse racing guy told me a story once when he worked for the Daily Record .There was a good Hamilton meeting on one night and Brown offered to write up a feature for the paper . "No room for it" was the response from the editor . "Ally McCoist is going and probably some other Old Firm players" said Brown . "Take a photographer with you" said the editor without blinking.

2. A decent sized paper or even a few will go to the wall in the next five years . Print media is on the way out and this smells like self preservation.

3. News International hacked a murdered teenage girls phone . Read that last sentence back .

Obviously a 'taig', or so I read about everyone who has a negative view of rangers. Can anyone enlighten me on what a taig is?

I guess some sort of Irish catholic?

******s.

He should be standing apologising for the mess and then he should be tendering his resignation.

[PatHead]

REceived a copy blog which claims that SFA knew Rangers were not eligible to have a FIFA licence next year- as per Senior source in Hampden. It goes on to raise the question-

If SPL/SFL/SFA believe Rangers need special treatment as is demonstrated by the parachute suggestion, how long have they known about Rangers problems and covered up for them (for the benefit of the game)? Hints that this could be C4s story today

Neil Doncaster tells sfl that Sky, Espn and sport 5 deals at threat as contracts require RFC in spl in 2013/14 value 17.35 mill

Imagine signing up for that deal in the first place?

[yeezus.]

I'm going to be annoyed if they enter the 1st division, but I'll never walk away from Scottish football... no matter how bad it gets.

[GreenCastle]

Anyone fancy putting together a breakdown of the media in Scotland and put them into Good / Average / Bad categories ?

You could do this for reporters on radio/twitter/t.v - this Rangers farce has definitely shown up a few

Well done to all the SFL clubs intending to reject the proposal you have earned a load of respect from me and i assume many others.

Shows the corruption in the game, as it proves that - even if they were the worst team in the league - Rangers would never be relegated.

[Kaiser_Sauzee]

The precedent was set with Airdrieonians, Livingston and Gretna.

The Rangers should apply for Division 3. Anything else would be a sham and an embarrassment.

Utter disgrace.

Wonder how many millions will be lost if nobody wants to watch a rigged sport any more?

[VickMackie]

The STV news Edinburgh is a joke.

And now for your local news. Camera pans to outside ibex with the latest developments on rangers.

[pacorosssco]

When was that deal signed - was it under Donkey's time in charge of the SPL? If so, he needs to tender his resignation. This week.

I have really grown to like several of the SFL clubs recently with their stance against what's going on here

I suspect we may be about to find out as when the SFL clubs say no I fully expect a volte face from spl and a warm welcome offered to sevco fc

I thought Sky had come out and said nothing's going to change anyway regardless of where the new club play ?

Don't think so. It's gone too far now - fans won't tolerate that degree of cynicism imo.

The assumption that an understrength Newco will automatically win promotion shows total contempt for the SFL1 clubs as well.
