madwullie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 'Rangers' do not exist. They are dead. That's the first point. Secondly, SevCo 5088 can offer more than other clubs - more pished knuckledragging bigots, more sectarian chanting and songs, more aggression and violence in the grounds, more abuse and al fresco pishing in town centres, the need for more security and policing etcetera, etcetera. The upside ? A few more quid via. tickets and the opportunity to take the scalp of the newest club in Scottish football. There's some amount of hysterical pish posted in this thread. Used to be excellent for analysis too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I guess sfl clubs used to dread a tie in the cup against rangers and Celtic? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyarabnuts Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) After all that's happened it would be quite funny if Newco played on hors concours !!

manfaefife Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Good on Raith. Always had a soft-spot for them as my late Uncle played for RR back in the day (and also had a spell with Hearts). Drooper your uncle signed for us on 6/9/41 from Benburb, he only played 3 games and scored 1 goal(against Dunfermline in a 4-4 draw) Instant Hero ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) There is a distinct possibility, with only 31 days from the Newco vote until the season kicks off, that the SPL could very well stick with 11 teams. The rules don't state clearly who should be the 12th team, and there's not enough time for any legal wrangles between Dunfermline and Dundee. If this is the case, there would be no place in the SFL for Servile-scumCo 5088 at all... I wonder what chaos would lie ahead with regards to promotion / relegation. Surely this would give the following options: 1) Every one of the 2012/13 SPL teams is guaranteed safety this season, making the league a joke when you thought self-preservation couldn't get any worse. 2) The team in 11th gets relegated and TWO sides get promoted from SFL1 to make it a league of twelve again in 2013/14, making the upcoming First Division a rather tasty prospect. ... or am I having a dim moment and there's another way around this?

Homer Thompson Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 So it does matter, surely? Absolutely. Its totally disingenuous to suggest that club were motivated by direct contact with supporters yet social media (including forums like this) played no part. Without social media there would not have been the groundswell of support, nor the accurate information and analysis so badly missing from the MSM, that resulted in so many emails, letters and phone calls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Can I remind you of this. It's a fair cop. You bring the salt 'n' vinegar quavers, I'll get some beers in. Party time, excellent. We'll need to watch re-runs of the 1987 cup final though, pausing the video at the appropriate moment where Kevin Gallacher was clearly 100 yards offside at United's 'goal'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) there is a forum for this sort of language In France My apologies !! Hors concours: to participate in [or perhaps it's alongside] the tournament without your results counting competitively, e.g. http://www.rsssf.com...an2hist.html#49 Edited June 26, 2012 by HibeeJibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Why are so many Motherwell supporters on here thick as f**k? SFL3 clubs dread a home cup tie against the of and would much rather play Spartans or Cove etc? Is this what I'm not grasping cos I always thought they were seen as a much needed cash cow with juicy udders that could give clubs enough money to see then through a season or two? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 That'll do me. But would clubs not lose revenue as a result? And some clubs might go bust without it.

Newbornbairn Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Oh, and celtic? We're watching you. The death of rangers means the death of whataboutery. So play nice, OK? I had exactly the same thought today as it happens. This isn't just good for football, if it helps play a part in ridding our country of sectarianism and religious bigotry it will be the most significant event for our society in the last 50 years and is far more important than so-called independence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owsley Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 A few weeks ago I predicted the SPL vote would likely be 11-1 No, as once it became clear it was going to be No, the other clubs would be mad not to follow suit. It seems certain it will be no worse than 10-2. So, I'll get my crystal ball out again (they can't touch you for it) and predict that the SFL vote, if it comes to it, will be something like 25-5 or 26-4 No. I hope to be wrong and it's 30-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeHectorPar Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The saddest thing about this whole debacle is that Rangers - their fans and previous owners - could easily have saved themselves by uttering one simple word. 'Sorry'. It seems sorry really is the hardest word to say. Had they held their hands up, apologised, canvassed the supporters of the other clubs they have cheated and bullied for years and promised to turn over a new leaf given a chance I'm sure humanity would have taken over and they would have been spared. In times of trouble you would like to think the 'best of you' appears. Unfortunately for Rangers case the opposite happened. The worst of Rangers Football Club appeared. The threats, the 'Bully Boy' tactics, the utterly flabbergasting sense of self importance and self righteousness have caused their own downfall. Too big too fail? Nope, it's just nobody likes you enough to bother to save you and that's your own doing. They always say, you better be nice to people on the way up.....you'll meet them on the way down again. Bernie Taupin could have written these words for this very situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Plus 'Top 6 - Bottom 5' or 'Top 5 - Bottom 6'? Someone's going to get some extra games unless the split gets chucked. Shambles. Chuck the split then - 11 teams - play each other 4 times - 40 games - 1 extra home game to make up for no Orcs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
