Don't worry, I've never taken you serious, just another permarage sevco fan who sat back and did nothing** while the club you claimed to love died. ** did nothing but blame everyone else except for Rangers and it's fans of course2 points

The shortest possible version of the Commission's verdict is this: Rangers deliberately broke the rules, but because they weren't caught while they were doing it, we can't punish them very much. If you want to blame anyone for that, blame the SPL for assuming that clubs wouldn't deliberately try to cheat.1 point

No they didn't. Never at anytime was it stated that they could not prove that sporting advantage was gained. SPL Commission findings Paragraph 104;The Tax Tribunal has held (subject to appeal)that oldco was acting within the law in setting up and operating the EBT scheme. Accordingly we proceed on the basis the EBT arrangements were lawful. Paragraph 105; Given that we have held that Rangers F.C. did not breach rule D1.11 by playing ineligible players,it did not secure any competitive advantage in that respect. Paragraph 106;We therefore proceed on the basis that the breach of rules relating to disclosure did not give rise to any sporting advantage,direct or indirect. Tell it often enough and some might swallow this from you,others won't.1 point

Agent shite. I'd take it with a shovel full of salt. Good player though, the only player who makes The Moonster feel normal size.1 point

The only reason they were found to be valid is because they were not declared invalid at the time. Genius doublespeak that George Orwell would be proud of. Senior Management at RFC deliberately and systematically withheld relevant contractual information from the authorities in order to protect what they assumed was a dodgy tax wheeze. I would refer to this as cheating when the pack is already loaded in your favour.1 point

You know, I thought a hypocrite was someone who espoused one stance whilst acting in completely contrary fashion to that stance? I believe Murray talked big and delivered big..... Murray's ego drove OldCo Rangers into the wall. His ego, of inter-planetary size, became replicated by vast legions of bears who feasted on the reflected glory, thus buying their unquestioning loyalty regardless of his future actions. As the debts, inevitably, grew ever larger, the collective ego that was Murray/Rangers (aided and even encouraged by the compliant, lazy press and media) sought to sustain the, frankly, unsustainable. The final straw? A banking collapse of such gargantuan size that It, finally, brought Murray's insatiable credit line to an abrupt close and the decent into hell involving an impressive array of crooks and shysters, began in ernest. Hypocritical? Nahhh, egotistical, arrogant, evasive and devious.......oh yes. Remind you of anyone? Maybe, even, a group of people? Thought so.1 point

"Banter" aside, he wasn't involved in porn at the time and Murray also took other advice.1 point

some of the more grounded, saner, approachable rangers fans have been able to carry some reasoned debate. other times, and this goes for both sides, it just seems to be a shout down. the problem lies, where the saner rangers fans try to debate with other rangers fans and are tarriered and feathered so to speak,.,.1 point

They can't oust them if they have more than 50% which they most definitely have if they bought out Lane and returned the shares (math below). However Lane's insurance was only worth $175000 which would only value SCDP at $1.4m but for the IPO they value the company at around $20m so even if growth and a stock market bubble has increased the value by 4 fold in under a year the partners would need to find the best part of $500K to buy out his wife. Pete struggled last time to meet the investment needed before they landed Jaguar but maybe Don covered his part and SCDP obviously aren't struggling for money now since they gave Harry $23K without really caring. SCDP had 5 partners: Roger 25%, Don 25%, Cooper 25%, Pete 12.5% and Lane 12.5%. Lets say that Joan gets her 5% in proportion that leaves the 3 major partners with 23.75% and minor partners 11.875% Once Lane dies his stake is bought back in proportion giving senior partners 26.95% (27%), Pete with 13.475% (13.5%) and Joan 5.765% (5.5%)1 point

Delighted. Laidlaw has really come on this season and is now an able understudy to McGurn. He'll only improve. Callachan has really impressed me in his appearances towards the end of the season and I suspect he will be a main midfielder next season. Good signs so far. There seems to be a slightly more upbeat feel coming from the Murray this season. It used to be the doom and gloom of McGlynn stating how many cuts are being made and a small budget meaning little or no signings. Murray is coming across far more optimistic and using positive language. I especially liked his quote in the Press today that if players don't want to stay then there are plenty others out there looking for a contract.1 point

I almost believe in some Machiavellian way he meant to say it. A reason to leave before he said he would. I have no idea why he would want to engineer that but it was the most obvious of terminal PR gaffs. Anyone who has done any interviews or even watched a bit of telly knows you don't say some things, or even invite comment on certain issues. Regardless of intent, between friends racist or not racist doesn't matter. He might as well have got his knob out or punched a kitten.1 point

Does anyone know if the talk of a blanket ban on pubs opening early before early kick-offs next season is exclusively for Sunday games (that said, many pubs don't serve alcohol on a Sunday until 12:30pm anyway although I understand that the 2005 Licensing Act changed it to 10am legally) or does it include Saturday games? It strikes me as bizarre (but not totally unsurprising) that home fans - and away fans that don't feel the need to play up to stereotypes - will be punished for away fans that cause trouble. The problem isn't that they get drunk in Dingwall, the problem is they are "drunk and disorderly" by the time they reach Dingwall. Target the buses instead, you know the guys who are actually breaking the law rather than creating archaic legislation to punish local business and fans.1 point

The most hipster thing I think I could ever say about myself is that I listen to quite a bit of Japanese progressive house. Chief amongst that would have to be Shingo Nakamura. He's just done this beautiful set which is worth a listen. If your face doesn't look like this during and after it, I'll be astounded.1 point

He's one of the worst. He's painfully unfunny, the situations he gets into are so contrived and the things he says can be telegraphed from many miles and years away. I reckon it would be a half decent show without him, as the others are characters you can warm to, but this c**t is just begging for an utter hiding. Seethe, raging etc etc for all the internet funny men who have no chat of their own. Maybe you unoriginal wanks can even post one of your oh so funny memes1 point

I was watching this earlier. At the 6pm episode set(not sure if it was the first or last one), Howard brings Bernadette to dinner and Penny says "the more the merrier", to which Sheldon takes upset and points out that more is not always merrier, if there were 2000 people in the room then they'd suffocate. At the 8pm set of episodes, Shelldon receives his old N64 and Leonard says that they can't play it because he's got some company coming over, Shelldon then replies with "the more, the merrier". I know they aren't consecutive episodes but still, bit stupid from Chuck Lorre.1 point

Great tips there. Some other ones: 1. If a guy outside the bookies asks if he can have you wallet, do NOT give it to him. 2. If you're sick all down your coupon you need to throw it in the bin and start a new one, do NOT hand it in at the counter anyway. 3. If you're feeling peckish, many bookies now offer a small "cafe corner" where Kit Kats, McCoy's crisps etc. can be purchased.1 point

I did forget one classic from the missus though, one of the male nurses she worked with was gay and he had gone out one friday afternoon and got his nipple pierced. He was on nighshift with my wife that night, and had shown her the piercing, a ring through his nipple, and complained about the pain he was in. As luck would have it we were all meeting up for a drink on the Saturday night, and as he walked into the bar with his partner, and greeted everyone, my wife unfortunately still fairly sober asked him fairly loudly "How's your ring, still nipping like mad?" the silence was broken only by me choking on a mouthful of beer.1 point
