I shouldnt let this lot wind me up as i get ready to set off for the semi final of a major cup competition. But this constant noise coming from the cavemen of challenging Celtic, forget about the rest of us diddies eh. Dave King spouting off that losing to Aberdeen is unacceptable. Aye, enjoy Brechin today. Arrogant club, will never change will it. #redinburgh COYR

So wonder if the new club who play at the same stadium as Rangers 1872 (IL) will claim they dont care about, and have no obsession with "The Famous" Soon as a question like this arises, they are straight onto the "..duh, when will Aberghreen gan intae admin" myth. For once and for all, we ain't mate. Worry about your own vile club. Who are you playing tomorrow Mr Orc btw?

Didnt realise Phil Jupitus and Danny Dyer were good pals.

Aah the coo shed. Many memories of the place and the amazing toilets round behind it (a steel fence/wall) A smile on my face too seeing that picture and CID (Casuals Internal Division) sprayed on the side, brings it all back....

EIGHTEEN months and counting. A year and a half left of this one-horse race before we have a proper championship again.Assuming Ally McCoist gets Rangers back into the top flight on schedule.He had better deliver, an extra year of the current nonsense and we?ll need chloroform.On occasions I?ve found myself at English grounds where everyone in the media centre was glued to the lunchtime Old Firm game. Southern journalists couldn?t get enough of it.Last Thursday at Newcastle, one of them asked me which division Rangers are in right now. That?s the extent of the interest.If the essence of any sporting contest is uncertainty, the wise men of the SPL gave our top flight a lethal injection two summers ago.Under the guise of ?sporting integrity? they sentenced Rangers to three years hard labour and killed their own competition while they were at it. Clever, eh?It was arguably the most idiotic decision in the history of Scottish football.Boycott threats from the anonymous halfwits of cyberspace saw our Premier League chairmen fold, condemning our biggest league to three years of decline. SFA chief executive Stewart Regan was ridiculed for predicting ?Armageddon? in Rangers? absence. He wasn?t far wrong.Why did every club in the league have to pay the price of Craig Whyte?s ransacking of Ibrox? Did Rod Petrie and Co really believe that ?Sell-out Saturday? nonsense?Did they believe the internet eejits who promised they?d turn up every week to fill club coffers?So much for the moral high ground. Sporting integrity has put Scottish football up against the wall.Yeah, Celtic have been insulated from the fallout by reaching the Champions League proper in successive seasons.But as the growing rows of empty seats prove, Hoops punters are bored stiff with the extent of their domestic dominance.Trust me, if it was Neil Lennon?s call Rangers would be back in the top flight next season. Likewise, I?m told Peter Lawwell wanted to keep Rangers in the big league with a points penalty, before he too bowed to the mob.Thanks to Lennon?s European success, Celtic?s balance sheet is in good nick but defeat in next season?s Champions League qualifiers will have accountants reaching for the valium.Elsewhere the rest of the SPFL is suffering. Rangers? demotion saw every budget in the top flight slashed.When costs have to be cut, youth development is the first casualty.At a time Dundee United are producing a special crop of youngsters, who would vote to shut down the production line?Some silly people have suggested Celtic?s recent hammering in Barcelona was no reflection on the standard of Scottish football. Really?Celtic won the league by 16 points last season without breaking sweat, yet they managed just three points from 18 in the Champions League. What does that say for the rest of the league? Our other European representatives? Scottish Cup finalists Hibs got a crack at the Europa League and lost 9-0 on aggregate to Malmo. Motherwell lost 3-0 over two legs to Kuban Krasnodar, currently ninth in the Russian league.Thankfully, St Johnstone flew the flag briefly with a great win over Rosenborg before losing in the third qualifying round to FC Minsk. Putting Rangers in the poorhouse gave a lot of people satisfaction but was the price worth paying?Under the yoke of the Old Firm, attendances were better, sponsors easier to find and the league table was worth looking at every weekend.With the pair at each other?s throats for Champions League cash, both had to spend to stay in front.A lot of that money went to fellow SPL clubs. Dundee were weighed in for Rab Douglas, Nacho Novo and Gavin Rae.Hibs got an Old Firm auction going for Scott Brown and Kevin Thomson. Kilmarnock punted Kris Boyd and Steven Naismith. Dundee United got a million plus for Barry Robson, while Celtic outbid Rangers for Motherwell?s Scott McDonald.That Old Firm arms race kept both clubs on their toes and helped subsidise the rest of the league.Now we?ve got Celtic trying to get through the entire season undefeated while the rest play for second place and a brief skirmish with the Europa League qualifiers.League One is no less of a freak show where you can watch Rangers playing keepie-uppie with their part-time opposition. Eighteen months and counting....... Where do we start with this complete and utter pile of 5hit. Every sentence can be ripped apart. Provan, grade A ****.

Mmmm in a week where Fat Salary goes to the press about extra funds needed, they draw to show this squad aint good enough. Maybe the pie man is a genius after all. -

Hard to judge without comparing to his youtube clips and early podcasts (the bus trip to Yoker is a particular stroke of genius). Dont think he has another series in him, last nights was pretty poor in my opinion.

Bendy how many days it been since u last mentioned AFC going into admin. Not read that one for a while. Imagine having wet dreams over a diddy club like ours (and dont say you dont care) Top flight Scottish Football has been a breath of fresh air since your scum died. Im really enjoying it right now, attendances up, some good football and great youngsters coming through. most importantly CLUBS LIVING WITHIN THEIR MEANS

Still noone questioning 500K on the team bus and the overnight stays at 5 star hotels will these continue ? A few of their opponents will have been working before they play FFS Still there is always the charity money to dip into when things get worse Bunch of deluded, robbing, theiving, cavemen c****
