Isn't there a journo who is a Hibby at the Telegraph? I seem to recall an article before one of the two recent cup finals where he wrote about the roller coaster of following Hibs. I dont think it was this guy though.

Alan Tyres - wrote a good article after we were relegated.

Presumably he was feeling a bit deflated at the time?

Telegraph preview of friday fixture! Yet another boycott on the cards?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/foo...this-week.html


Our weekly chance to check on what chaotic nonsense has befallen Rangers and what havoc Mike Ashley has managed to wreak north of the border in the last seven days carries us to a Friday night in Falkirk. Inevitably all the coverage, and most of the crowd, will be interested in the UK's most farcical club (settle down fans of Leeds and QPR, you've got nothing on these guys) but spare a thought for Falkirk who used to yo-yo up and down out of this league quite a bit before they suddenly found Hearts, Hibs and Billy Smart's Travelling Circus joining them at the second tier.
Currently fifth, Falkirk have a great chance to claim a famous win here given how abysmally Rangers are playing football, conducting their business, treating their wives, tending to their gardens, behaving on the way home from the pub and everything else besides.

That's a beauty!

After the years of lip syncing between the SMSM, the SFA and all forms of zombies it would seem, now that Ashley is involved, for better or for worse, some media outlets are honing in.

SFA will be twitching lol.

Doncaster responds to allegations of sectarian chanting from the Rangers fans

It remains the SPFL's position that if it can be established that clubs have done everything required in overall management of the event pre-match, during the game and post-match then they have no case to answer....

Staggeringly blatant and biased headline on back page of Daily Record today. Despite a probe in to their sectarian singing this is the headline.......

Not that I'm in any way a supporter of his, but Phil McG said on Twitter that the racist chanting was included in the match report - contrary to what the Record say.

Phil MacGiollaBhain @Pmacgiollabhain · 3h 3 hours ago I just checked back with sources VERY close to the action. The racist abuse of @StanCollymore WAS in the match report.

It's official, the rangers are not sectarian bigots, that was the now defunct Glasgow rangers presumably.

Hmmmm.... thats a tough yin.

I can't decide whether he's a rat deserting a sinking ship or he's been forced to walk the plank?

Is there any significance in that? Is he one of Ashleys men?

Im not a great believer in coincidences - yesterday the rangers fans trust bought up loads more shares, from one of the investment houses that easedale held proxy votes with.

fewer proxy votes = greater chance of losing = he's done the maths & doesn't want to be in the wee teepee on the pitch when the votes are counted

[CallumLaidlaw]

My Rangers supporting colleague said to me yesterday that the directors would start to get wind of the direction of the proxy so would start to resign before the EGM has taken place. Looks like he's just the first.

Thing is, Easedale wasn't one of the two directors that Ashley would just vote back in if voted out so was always going to be leaving the party. I reckon the Easedales will happily take a back seat now and sit on there shareholding until they get a decent offer.

Whats more interesting is what happens with the other two, the ones Ashley has effectively appointed.

It's in the sun today, forgot he was at forest now.

The sun were convinced a few weeks back it was going to be Ian cathro so they're probably just chucking a few names about in the hope they get one right.

He may be the sacrificial lamb.

As has been said, it sounds as if the voting is pretty close. Perhaps Easdale's resignation is designed to sway some of the undecideds the way of the current Board.

His statement bangs on about "not having the support of the fans", so there may be some truth in that.

[PeeKay]

Ashley's loan was conditional on two of his men being appointed to the Board. If they get voted off then surely the conditions of the loan have been breached and it will need to be repaid at once. Can DK and the Blue Knights afford that?

He could at least have got a chant of "wee tee-pee people" going (as opposed to "we are the people").

Or, its Ibrox payday tomorrow, maybe does not want to be around when the cashlines don't produce the readies.

If Ashley is losing the vote , he is not going to release more cash to the black hole and Super Ally's wealth fund.

Think it was the 1st of Feb (or thereabouts) he took over at the City Ground. West coast media poor as usual and just filling their sections with regurgitated guff!

Does anyone want to take the very hot seat in their current state??
