Booker_d Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hope the SFA tell them to FO!! After bringing the game into disrepute by taking them to court they now want to cut a deal with the SFA amounting to a Scottish Cup ban and a 6 month transfer embargo. You couldnt make it up! http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/2012/06/02/rangers-in-crisis-ibrox-club-set-to-cut-deal-with-sfa-to-stop-scottish-football-from-sliding-into-abyss-86908-23882820/ Does that mean that Rangers are requesting a punishment that isn't in the rulebook, a week after taking the SFA to court (and getting them into trouble with FIFA) for giving them a punishment that wasn't in the rulebook? Yeah, good luck with that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you read that piece it says they are willing to take a 6 month transfer ban and expulsion from the Scottish Cup for one year - is that still not a lesser punishment than the original 1 year transfer embargo? If anything they should be saying "we will take the original ban, and you can add on the cup punishment as a wee extra for our cheek in taking you to court" Seems to me they are still trying to dictate their punishment to the SFA. I'm sure someone on here pointed out that the SFA were now unable 'legally' to use the transfer embargo at all as it would leave them open to court action in future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayseed Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Any talk so far of "Suspension" seems to include small numbers. Can they not be suspended for full seasons? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I might be getting whooshed by the rulebook, but here goes! Surely if Rangers SFA membership is suspended, they can't play in the SPL or SFL, or the Scottish Cup. Without a pyramid system in place, there is no way for them to re-enter the leagues, other than another team dropping out and them winning the application process, which isn't guaranteed (although we all know it probably is!) So suspension would lead to either a pyramid system with Rangers re-entering right at the bottom, or the destruction of Rangers. I'd be happy with either outcome, although option 2 is still preferable! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, good luck with that Superb. FIFA will DEFINITELY be OK with that. I look forward to redundancies in the DR sport reporting team when this fiasco is over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with either outcome, although option 2 is still preferable! I think suspension means that they forfeit each of their games during that period with automatic 3-0 losses. Obviously if they were suspended for a season they would become the team relegated to SFL 1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) In the Record today (so its to be taken with a sizeable pinch of salt) it seems I'd suspended they would retain their membership in the SPL but teams who are due to play against them would automatically be awarded 3 points. it says this would cause problems as it would be unfair to teams who have to play them after their suspension ends, seem only to be talking about a small term of suspension, but everyone else seems to hope for minimum of 1 year. - which using the above would mean RFC automatically relegated to 1st next year as they'd be finishing on nil points. Edit:B.Dog beat me to it, and put it simpler too! Edited June 2, 2012 by Gaspode 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it had to be the one year suspension from all first team football with a long term cup ban for the current charges. I dunno if the SFA get involved once the SPL finish investigations on the dual contacts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wokcomble Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Oh gosh - I think I'm gonna get my head kicked-in or house torched.............each time I see a pieman at Sainsburys or so wearing his XXXL Ranjurs top I burst out laughing. It got worse yesterday when I saw an Orc wearing the new jersey at the shopping mall and my gf just turned to me and said "zip-it" Im a coward, I say nothing, but I immediately put on a big smiling face as I walk by It's magic. I feel great supporting my wee diddy team with honesty and integrity, rather than being the fan of the dirty cheating bigoted 'institution'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Left Wing Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Out of sheer interest (and nosiness) , have you renewed yet? Ie, does the current/currant *delete as appropriate* situation make any difference to you and renewal? I have had my form in, but it's an automatic renewal that we cancel if we dont want it. I could still cancel my direct debit, money doesn't come off until 22nd. I honestly dont know what to do. I enjoy my footie & on a Saturday when we don't have a game, i still find a match to go to, at Dumbarton, Pollok, or like today, a juvenile cup final. Anywhere i fancy. But i want to watch my own team & this whole charade leaves a bad taste. My brothers and my dad are ordinary decent fans, not bigots, but they support Rangers. My eldest brother is disgusted by the actions of his club and will not be back, my other brother might be the same. Can we afford to lose good footy fans in this country? I dont believe we can. That doesn't mean i won't be happy to see tax frauds & sporting cheats brought to book & hopefully buried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the daily retards understand the difference between reporting the news and feeding the news to their readership. Between New Labour and the Old Firm feeding the DR what they've to print, I doubt many on that paper have a clue as to how to ask a question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
