The premise of Rangers only getting 5p for every £1 spent is a bit confused anyway. How much would you expect? They're mixing up turnover with profit. The implication is that they are only getting a twentieth of the retail profits, but that's not true. Anyhoo, here's another one: For every £1 Rangers fans spend on season tickets Rangers lose £1.20. Boycott Season Tickets.

#Tedi tantrum memories A nomad will be in place long before the 30 days.....now that is me confidently assuming something

Did you cry in 86 though?

What happened to the "club", admitted to the league, before Sevco 'bought' the assets, of the one that died, from BDO? Is there two 'clubs' occupying one league/association membership? Remember, the old club voted on the acceptance of the new member. Where did they hide the "horcruxes"?

Funny how this thread has polarised over the years. The grey and green plankton have got more vitriolic as they realise that reports of our death are greatly exaggerated and their diddy fellow-travelers (such as the complete pellet which is Jupe) just follow in their wake.

#teditantrummemories why would we have stars on our shirts in the sfl those are for spl titles

FC supporters quit Man U when they were at the top, but we're uneasy about the governance of the club. Rangers supporters lapped up the success and didn't give a shit how it was achieved. There has been numerous opportunities for years to draw a line and start their own club, but it's not in their collective psyche. They want to win, be "better" than Celtic and maintain their traditional values.

Chronic patter.

This really is a key point. If there was a suggestion here that Rangers had made an honest, unintentional error with the tax scheme, or if they'd been misled by a fly-by-night Lionel Hutz type, there might be a bit more sympathy for them re: titles stripped. Not a lot, but a bit. But that's not what happened. We know as a matter of fact, not of conjecture, that Rangers sought to conceal the EBT scheme at every step of the way - from the football authorities while they were cheating, and from HMRC and everyone else after the fact. They fought tooth and nail to keep it all secret, because they knew they were cheating, or at very least suspected that they were. The competitions they won should be voided* and asterisks attached saying "No award due to financial corruption at Rangers FC". It's a nonsense to do anything else - it says that crime does pay, that cheats do prosper. *I know this won't happen, but it really should.

A few chromosomes

The quotes from players about title stripping are just laughably irrelevant and part of a gormlessly crude Daily Record agenda. I don't think title stripping will happen. I think this because the authorities would far rather not have to make such a bold decision. It is one that should be made though. There's no need to speak of 'financial doping', or even 'cheating', although that's basically what we're dealing with. The facts are that Rangers deliberately offered false information regarding players' contracts when registering them, in order to conceal a practice that has been deemed illegal. That really should be open and shut. Now when the initial FTTT ruling was reached, many Rangers fans, including Traynor, called for the title stripping inquiry to be called off. That was daft because title stripping was never about breaking the law of the land; it was about breaking football rules. By the same token, Wednesday's revised ruling should have little bearing on the issue. As I said at the time though, the initial ruling seemed to mark a turning of the tide back in Rangers' favour - it appeared to take the wind from the sails of the commission and give an out to LNS. (By the way, I've seen it suggested that his title stripping ruling referred to the FTTT verdict - is that true? If so, I suppose there's an argument for Wednesday making a difference, but I remain sure it won't.) I suspect the 2012 verdict did matter in this respect, but it shouldn't really have done. The point about other players not wanting a medal though, is completely irrelevant and intentionally misleading. My team would have no just claim on the 2008 Cup as Rangers had 'beaten' several sides before meeting us. The fair thing would be to declare the competitions void during the relevant seasons. That way, it's clear what Rangers did and piles on the disgrace that the club's behaviour deserves.

He wasn't much of a soldier if that's his reaction to the sound of gunfire.

Someone funny should host this thread next year.

Jupe will be offering you a "square go" once he reads that lol

Who slated that episode? It was one of the best ever. I think this series is as much about introducing new characters into the group and so some of the established ones have taken a bit of a back seat.

Aye that's fine MATE, and for the same few years you will get to nurse and suckle the teet of your bitterness and hatred, you've got f*ck all else in the meantime eh!?

I never voted for you either.Think I'll regret that for the rest of my life.

Two points:It's jealousy, not your version. You will be waiting at least five years, IMHO, for title 55, so keep dreaming. The next few will go to Heatrs, Aberdeen and Partick Thistle before you get another. HTH

Here are the answers to Cardinal Richelieu's special Aussie request quiz. The Card and Swarley both scored 2 and Fuctifano knew enough to score 2 for the only questions he mentioned and they were the same 2 as the others. 1. Who was The Speaker of the House of Representatives when Harold Holt forgot to turn back to shore? a) Billy Sneddon b) Les Patterson c) William Aston d) John McLeay The answer is c) William Ashton or Sir William Ashton. I did have to Google that one though. Billy Sneddon was leader of the Liberal opposition when they lost the 1974 election and was also the Speaker for a while. John McLeay was the Speaker before Ashton (Google again) and Les Patterson or Sir Les Patterson was the Australian MInister for the Yartz and long time cultural ambassador.https://youtu.be/nULFMp4jKBo 2. Which Australian PM wandered into reception of a Memphis hotel without his breeks? a) Kevin Rudd b) Malcolm Fraser c) John Howard d) Bob Hawke The answer is b) Malcolm Fraser who is reported to have wandered up to reception in a sleazy Memphis hotel wearing only his shirt and Y's, claimed later that he had been drugged and no idea how he got there. Fraser was a Liberal PM like Little Johnny Howard. The other 2 were Labor PM's but at least Bob Hawke held the record for sculling the equivalent of a yard of beer when at Oxford University. "His academic achievements were complemented by setting a new world record for beer drinking; he downed 21⁄2 imperial pints – equivalent to a yard of ale – from a sconce pot in 11 seconds as part of a college penalty." No idea what a sconce pot is. 3. Which NSL side beat Dundee during their 1978 tour Down Under? a) Marconi b) Footscray JUST c) West Adelaide Hellas d) Newcastle KB United The answer is d) they lost 1-2 on May 17, They also lost 1-2 to Victoria and 1-2 to a New Caledonia XI. The KB part of the name came from KB Lager 4. Is Dave Warner a) an annoying little c**t b) an annoying c**t c) just a c**t? d) all of the above The answer is a), b), c) & d). 5. What is a pie floater? a) meat pie on pea soup with tomato sauce b) pie for eating when in water c) something you only eat when pushed d) an example of Aussie haute cuisine The answer is a) although some might argue that d) is correct but they'd fail and c) would have been acceptable had the quiz master not typed pushed instead of pished when he wasn't even pished.

Yer tea. You're grounded for a week.

Agreed. The finest there's been. (Not Crunchie btw)

Cos she's fond of the two digits ?

Was it mad Phil? Was he wrong? Oh, that changes everything. This has in fact been a great week for Rangers then.

Give me strength. Why would anybody want to discuss anything with a Blue Verminite? On here, no debate needed. Fact is... Your sectarian Football Club cheated and died. You are now supporting a brand new sectarian Football Club. Hopefully they will die soon You and your fellow fans are Britain's Shame. Nae Surrender Lol

Shull is Scottish Football's moral compass

I've never understood the zombies sticking up for people not paying tax. Who gives a flying eff about the legalities or otherwise of it. People are living off of food banks yet there are morons on here gloating because a bunch of millionaires got more money by dodging paying tax, just so they can get one over other people over a game of football. What kind of absolute mugs are you?

'If there was any justice in the world' Spartans would have entered the SFL in 2012

Because they're an absolutely detestable club, and European success and the finances that come with that help contribute to the gulf between Celtic and the others. HTH.

Seems a guid c**t. Obviously had his troubles and escaped to warmer climes to start again. Kudos to him. I'd take a hundred pissed up SlipperyP's posting incoherent drivel over one Dundee United and Celtic supporting Arbroathian racist.

I'm going to go against the diddy grain here and say I am not fussed about them having titles stripped. Unfortunately it happened and I don't see what good it really does anyone. The subsequent seethe from the **** would simply be an old firm tit for tat about number of titles won which would frankly be very boring. What the whole sorry mess did show up was the absolute sham that was the two horse race during that period, where two clubs outspent each other (we now know one did through unlawful means) to the detriment of the whole sport, not that we didn't know that already. The saddest thing for me is that this was an opportunity to fix it, to really shake up the game seeing as it was of course Armageddon anyway and come away from the Old firm centric sport we watch. They will always be the two biggest in the league but we could have levelled the playing field a bit more. It seems now we're coming to the end of that window of opportunity and it honestly seems that no lessons have been learned at the sfa, spl, celtic or rangers and we are heading straight back to where we were. All to satisfy some tv companies really. The people running scottish football really do need to be ashamed.

I wear a poppy to remember my cousin who was a lieutenant in the Kings Own Scottish Borderers on patrol in Belfast on a dark and stormy night when a huge tree blew over and crushed his Land Rover

Tedi has absolutely lost it Lashing out all over the place

Read that. At least we can now pinpoint where Lucas lost his marbles and should've been put into care now.

With all these new cup wins for various teams I am a tad worried about the availability of open top buses. Does anyone know if Douglas Parks fleet includes open top buses? Or would that be too much of a piss take?

Congratulations Ayr United, winners of the 2001/02 Scottish league cup.

What's the point in 'remembering' what happened in WW1 & 2? The point of doing so was surely to make clear that war is dreadful and should only ever be used as a last resort when all other options are exhausted in order to avoid the horrors of it all? Yet today the military is deified and the UK gleefully trots off to conflicts we should have nothing to do with. 'Lest we forget'? We already have. If you're taking a (state endorsed) set time to 'reflect', then you should reflect that sadly those who fought failed in the long run and their memories and efforts have been hijacked.

Let a brother have his moment Mr 5k retweet.

For a moment I thought this was going to be the most racist version on the Norwegian commentator rant I'd seen in a while
