thehoss Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 What I can't understand is why Rangers fans are so up in arms about fans of other clubs and their glee about the announcement of constant nightmare scenarios that pour from Ibrox every day. Are we to believe the rangers fans wouldn't be doing the same? or are they so blinkered that they wouldn't have recognised any of the other 10 teams who make up the teams outwith the OF. Can't they see the regard their team held in by other clubs because of the stranglehold it had on the whole of scottish football? oh and BTW, Sir David still hasn't got nowhere near the thrashing he deserves for what happened to that club. The fact that the next two owners after he stepped down have been donkeys(no offence to donkeys) is the only reason why he isn't getting more grief. (wouldn't surprise me if Murray was a backer of the other 2 muppets!!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannibal Lecturer Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Stewart Gilmour thinks a 16 team spl isn't far away. 16 team SPL? He really has got a cheek. Why has the SPL's problems now become the SFL's? If the structure of the leagues require change, change them!! Don't dangle a carrot at us making out you're a big club when you're only potentially a couple of seasons from the first division yourself. Grow a pair ya fanny and do the right thing. No one wants a Rangers of any kind in the SFL, the only people that want the are the SPL chairmen, no matter what they're coming out with in their statements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty_Boy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Anyone ever look at the Goal.com website? Not sure WTF this is all about: Rangers FC: An Apology. On Monday June 25 a senior member of the Goal.com editorial team posted a message on twitter in which he appeared to support Scottish football clubs voting against the application of Rangers to be reinstated into the Scottish Football League. The editor had intended to highlight the situation the club faces by sarcastically underlining the wish of rival fans to push for Rangers exclusion. He accepts that his tweet did not express the intended sentiment, was quick to apologise and delete the offending tweet. Goal.com, the Perform Group and all our associates wish to apologise and make clear to all Rangers supporters and anyone connected with the club that we do not hold this view. Someone needs to get them telt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooper Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) He's changed his tune now rangers are gone. It wasn't that long ago he was backing their plan for a ten team SPL. The suspicious among us might even suggest he is just trying to get his pals back quicker. Utter drivel. He shouldn't be taking issue with 1st Division/other SFL teams stance, though. Not his place, and he is clearly wrong in what he is suggesting. Edited June 27, 2012 by Drooper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoMaSano Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Stewart Gilmour thinks a 16 team spl isn't far away. 16 team SPL? Looks like he favours the system I've been banging on about for years. The only difference seems to be he suggests a 6-6-4 split rather than a 4-6-6 (I assume this is because St Mirren would be less likely in a bottom 4 than a bottom 6) First time I've seen anybody from wihtin the game admit that a 16 team league is viable. Every time it gets mentioned it quickly gets shot down with the "not enough games" myth. Good sign that the minds of at least some of those in charge of our game may be opening ever so slightly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieRaider Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Just what is wrong with our fans groups? Well i could answer with some obvious slurs here...however, why don`t you enlighten us "diddy team" supporters with what is was like to grow up and become a Rangers supporter? What different factions are there in these fan groups, do they have much in common, like actually having the stones to work together and save their club (in whatever form it will become)? Or have they just become the very thing that has seen the clubs demise: bloated, arrogant, lazy and corrupt? I`m serious, this isn`t a wind-up. Perhaps the fans have just been so used to being handed everything on a plate,never having had to toil through hard times, relegation threats etc, that they don`t actually have any character? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Stewart Gilmour thinks a 16 team spl isn't far away. 16 team SPL? So in other words... Gilmour backs putting Rangers into SFL1 - then ensuring they'll be back in SPL next season by ensuring the Top 4 go up ? His plan would have to overcome numerous hurdles anyway. Several clubs ardently back 10-team SPL (including Hibs, Aberdeen, St Johnstone) and few backed even 14. Celtic don't want a 40-game season. SFA want 10-team SPL. Clubs at the bottom get 36 games while bigger sides get 40. Having completed a 40-game season for top clubs you've then EL play-offs ontop. And Gilmour probably won't even be at St Mirren next season. With the financial losses caused by Rangers demise I'd think any expansion has reduced in liklihood, but it'd be to 14 (36/40) if it was to happen. However Gilmour's idea does hold fundemental what Scottish football must always retain... split, 4x playing, EL play-offs, high 30s/40 league games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellbhoy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) You've got to take your hat off to Irn Bru with their latest advert in anticipation of the newco application to the SFL Your dad's a Fanny, Your Brother's a Fanny, your Grandpa's a Fanny. You come from a long line of Fannys Brings to mind if they get into the SFL "you must be a newco fan,eh ?"

Torfason Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Stewart Gilmour thinks a 16 team spl isn't far away. 16 team SPL? A 16 team SPL would definitely smooth the way for Sevco to get into the First as it eases the fears of clubs worried about missing out on promotion next season...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerokus Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Brown's interview is a classic, reminds me of the mental old jakes you get in Glasgow pubs who corner you at the bar and drone on and on in conspiratorial tones about a load a pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fasda Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Stewart Gilmour thinks a 16 team spl isn't far away. 16 team SPL? i hope so. However, much as i abhor the 11 to 1 vote, he is wrong to suggest that enlarging the SPL is being held up by the exOF, the other clubs in the SPL have been complicit in blocking this because they wanted the 4 fixtures against the cheeks each season. Hopefully this recent awareness of the folly of that policy will enable us to get a proper league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelegendthatis Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Dundee Mad has a thread about Sevco buying Cowden. Exactly the scenario I visualised/fantasised about a couple of months ago, but I thought, no......they're in trouble but it'll never get that bad! Cowden just seem so vulnerable, and there's the Findlay connection. I'd accept that as long as the name was non-negotiable. So Cowdenbeath play at Ibrox. In Rangers' colours, yeah, that's ok too. Nah, dreaming again.... Findlay is bad enough but the bit that makes this more likely is the fact the Brewster bros own it. They will have a price. And if the price is right they will say yes. Interesting that Bomber is proud of the fact that they have a legal eagle in their team to keep them right. Findlay specialises in defending the indefensible. People like Luke Mitchell, Tobin, Nat Frazer. Good thing is they keep being found guilty when Findlay is at their side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
