How is he taking it too far? Surely he is pointing out that The Rangers are losing cash at an alarming rate. It cannot continue and if it does they are going back to square one 2 years to the day after the original administration. Nothing wrong with that.

Whats with Phil McGoblin- bit cringeworthy is it not?

I'm just pointing out that Mac Giolla Bhain isn't his real name, he's changed it to be "more Celticy"

Think it was to be more Irish than Celticy.

Obviously Mac Giolla Bhain isn't his real name and he tweets on a lot more than The Rangers, including many Irish matters, racism and bigotry as well as Celtic. The media just portray him as a one trick pony regarding Rangers and the new company. Doubt a lot of the naughty things the old club got up to wouldn't have been highlighted if it was not for him.

BTW I don't like the writing style of the Sun so I don't read it, suggest you just give him a wide berth if you don't like his style.

Not wanting to criticise and mean this as a real question. Why do you call yourself "the Governor" and have an image of a man with one eye holding a gun? What image are you trying to portray?

All I'm saying is I'd more inclined to follow his articles if he wrote them in a manner more befitting an impartial journalist, because you're right - he did have a lot of important stuff to say. Maybe his audience would be bigger and more receptive if he didn't phrase all his columns as if they were meant for the Huddleboard.

As I've already said, this is nothing more than a fan's forum, not to be confused for "journalism". The fact my username and avatar are a fictional character from a TV show mean absolutely nothing.

Well they have, in a way.

This time they're bolting the stable door securely, and the stable will be fresh and clean.

The horse, though, pheckt off a while ago.

I suspect the new horse 'follow follow' will be ridden in to the stable shortly. Jockey D.King.

Whether he'll own the stable is another question.

I haven't been paying much attention to this lately but my brother (sadly a Rangers fan) reckons another admin is almost inevitable.

I hope he's right

If that does happen how many points are they deducted as they are so far ahead they could take a 20 point deduction and still win promotion so buy buying there way back and taking the hit they will still view that as good business as next season in same division as Hearts would generate more income for them and higher season ticket prices .So once again cheating would of benefited them

As they are a new club it should be 1/3 of last years total but if they insist they are the same club it's a minimum of 25 points.

They haven't cheated this time. ...yet. They have just spent all their money.

As much as I find the Rangers\Newco ongoing saga amusing, I think Phil McGoblin or whatever he's called, is taking it too far. I find him a bit cringeworthy, tbh.

His language is deliberately designed to infuriate Sevconians. No matter how much truth there is in his blogs, they'll never be able to learn from it as they can't get past the deliberately inflammatory tone.

It's actually very clever.

I find apologists for Sevco rather cringeworthy too.

Just saying!

Where did I say I was a Sevco apologist? Are you one of these people who assumes that if you don't like one half of the old firm you automatically like the other?

Personally I hate The Rangers as I find the way they've failed to learn their lessons most pleasing because it won't end well for them. Doesn't stop me from finding Celtic fanboys annoying.

What is his real name?

It is his real name, just re-transliterated to Gaelic. I think the anglicised form is McGillivan.

He does seem to have some good sources but his writing is mediocre at best and the whole Klan/Nazi stuff is pretty cringeworthy notwithstanding the worst excesses of Hunism.

They are exactly like the Klan. WATP Supremacists.

Absolute Shambles of a club.

How can they be in this state so soon after what they've been through.

They should be kicked out of Scottish Football. They were paying £5k a week to players playing in 3rd and 2nd Division.

They're paying a hell of a lot more than £5k a week to some players right now.

True. Was just on the radio there, that Sheils and Black are on 7 grand a week..........and i doubt they are the highest earners.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Even the serial half-wits in what passes at their " support", can't point their knuckle-dragged fingers at anyone else this time. For a club that almost went out of business because of cheating, now they could go out of business through nothing more than sheer vanity, trying to work their way into relevance by attempting to compete with Celtc from a few leagues below.

Working in the weege this week and overheard in a deli the owner talking to his customer asking bout his son who must be a junior said he'd gone from Rangers to Hearts (frying pan fire me thought) and that if he did well he'd be giving up school and signing (professionally) in March... I was tempted to butt in but I got a sandwich instead ;)

[ancient hibee]

It's said that McCulloch is on £12k-that's a week not a season.
