mozam76 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Has Chassa said anything that's true yet? I love reading anything he says and waiting a few days to hear its nonsense. On another note, if Twitter says its true that's good enough for me. I firmly believe him when he says "if you're wanting to get involved we'll take your cheque, no problem". What he does with the cheque though is anyones guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lodmoorhill Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Has Chassa said anything that's true yet? I love reading anything he says and waiting a few days to hear its nonsense. Luckily for him, he's getting away with it at the moment. The Govan Rovers lot still think they are victims of a conspiracy by the SFA/SPL/SFL, the media, the Diddy Clubs, P&B, HMRC and probably The Vatican. However, as the debacle increases in magnitude, it's not going to take long for them to turn on him. And when that lot get started, his police escorts to get him out of Bramall Lane in one piece are going to look like a tea party with his granny in comparison. Every time I see him in the media now, he just looks totally baffled. The stance taken by the diddy clubs is probably the catalyst. I genuinely believe he thought that the "too big to fail" card was a passport back to the big time with no risk involved. It's backfired on him in spectacular style - he just looks totally and utterly bewildered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnesTON Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Excuse me, but Team GB represent at least 2 willing parts of the United Kingdom and those of us down here in England (and I presume Wales) are willing to support them as we recognise that they represent us. They do not represent any of the bigoted bile that your average ORC spouts or believes in and for making that assumption I have given you a nice big red one. If you and your fellow Scottish fans are happy to go along with the stance that all those clever logical and morally superior administrators at the SFA have decided for you then that's fine, after all these people are beyond reproach and have shown themselves to be so over a long period of time and clearly have their finger on the pulse of Scottish football and the wishes of its fans, but don't try and politicise what is effectively now a joint English and Welsh side for your own ends. Why would the SFA jeopardise their own standing in world football for something as trivial as the olympic games which is even more tainted than FiFA. The whole ethos of sport has been corrupted by commercialism . Football in the Olympics are a sideshow that has no more relevance than those of the tennis fraternity. Come on you only have to see the attitude of fellow football supporters around the country with the ticket uptake. Great Ryan Giggs finally gets to play a big game but if he was in his twenties I bet he wouldn't have been anywhere near the competition. Perhaps he may get know for something other than a super injunction before retiring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnesTON Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Statement from Allan MacGregor has RM in a huff. Meanwhile, Allan McGregor has joined Besiktas and insisted: “I’m ready for the challenge.” The ex-Rangers keeper, 30, agreed a two-year deal worth £35,000 a week with the Turkish cracks. Gregsy, 30, completed his medical and will now jet out to Austria to join up with his new team-mates. He said: “It’s a big club with big tradition and supposedly they have great fans who make a lot of noise. “It’s a new challenge that’s come up and I’m ready for it. I’ll be giving my all here, as I do every time I play.” Gers owner Charles Green will fight for compensation insisting McGregor could NOT quit Ibrox for nothing. McGregor insisted: “My club went into liquidation in June and I became a free agent.” How do you like them apples !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Roth Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Lots of speculation via various currant's FB pages that Sally's on his toes as Hughie's accepted the stripping of 5 titles. The phrase "f**k this shite" is losing all potency with its proliferation. Seems a lot of Rager's fans are going away to f**k shite tonight. Good luck lads, get baw deep in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Bud Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 TV contract awaits SFA membership approval Published on 27 July 2012 Michael Grant CONTRACTS will be signed with Sky and ESPN to show 65 matches per season from the Scottish Premier League and Irn-Bru Third Division if Rangers newco's Scottish Football Association membership is approved later today. Sky will have the rights to 30 games, starting with Celtic versus Aberdeen at Parkhead next Saturday lunchtime, then Rangers newco's opening third division encounter at Peterhead on August 11. ESPN would have 35 live games and the first would be Dundee United versus Hibernian on Sunday, August 5. Herald Sport understands that a deal involving the SPL, Scottish Football League and the two broadcasters – and including rights for 15 of the newco's league games per season – will preserve most of the value of the existing £16m-a-season television agreement for the current campaign. That will spare top-flight clubs from the most severe repercussions some had feared from at least three years without the Ibrox club. The television deal is agreed in principle but cannot be signed until Sevco Scotland Ltd's application for the transfer of Rangers' SFA membership is approved. That needs to happen before the club can play its first match at Brechin City in the Ramsdens Cup on Sunday afternoon. In theory, approval could be given at any time up until kick-off, but practicalities and exchanges of documents essentially mean it has to be done today. But all five parties – Sevco Scotland, the oldco Rangers, the SFA, SPL and SFL – were understood to believe the discussions were almost there last night and that there will be a satisfactory conclusion, and the signing of contracts, later today. Representatives from Charles Green's newco regime held further negotiations with Neil Doncaster, the SPL chief executive, yesterday. A major obstacle has been the SPL's view that accepting any potential punishment from its ongoing investigation into undisclosed payments to players via Employment Benefit Trusts – alleged to have happened over several years of the oldco Rangers – should be accepted by Sevco as a condition of membership. Manager Ally McCoist and some others at Ibrox have vigorously opposed any acceptance that the club could be stripped of league titles if a guilty verdict is returned. BBC Alba will have live coverage of Rangers' tie at Brechin and yesterday the channel was continuing to plan as though the match would go ahead. As for the longer-term deal involving Sky and ESPN, the companies will discuss how the SPL and third division coverage is shared in the weeks and months ahead. "It will be up to the broadcasters to decide how the games are carved up," said a source at one SPL club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghPar1975 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Sevco have had long enough, they should be given till high noon to agree to the terms of their membership. If they dont then Brechin should be given a bye and applications for the SFL should be opened straight away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
