St Johnstone 0 - 2 Rangers Morelos Roofe (edited 17.26)

Rangers 3-0 Motherwell Defoe

I like the design of the strip but the material seemed strange. It didn't seem to sit right on the players for some reason.

So we're only allowed to comment on such things after a win? One would think that the comments on the strip would be due to the fact that it's the first time we've worn it and the result of the game had nothing to do with it. Or as you might say:

That one hurt...a lot.

So difficult. I went with Davis. Played a lot better than the rest of the midfield when he came on and got the goal. It says a lot for the rest of them if a late sub is MOTM.

Not that it makes a huge difference but I thought it was the RST that donated the bowl.

Roofe would be my choice. It's one that we'll still be talking about in 30 years.

Dividends can only be paid if the company has positive retained earnings and as it's sitting with a negative balance of over £30m, it's going to be a long while before we have the ability to pay dividends, never mind the desire to do it.

They voted us out of the league, so their trophies were won off the park by severely weakening us. As for "4" when did they WIN the league for that? However knock yourself out if you want to give them credit for their ability to threaten and bribe, while undertaking a massive cover-up.

Any share issues are effectively additional funding or turning loans into share capital. In C1872's case, it'll be additional funding. The shortfall was guaranteed but that doesn't mean that they have any intention of investing. They may put the guarantee in place with a view to selling a couple of players. Any cash invested will go towards the running of the club. It can't be ringfenced, despite what's been said in the past.

The wee man needs a shot of confidence and a buck up, so I thought I'd give him it by voting for him.

Not had them for quite a few years...pre-banter years probably.

Laura said on the 4Lads interview "there were share issues and we did have the option to take part in those share issues". They are saying that they couldn't take part in the most recent share issue due to "due diligence" (did they have to find out a bit about the club?) but what about the other share issues that Laura is referring to that they refused to take part in? Why do they need to understand the "investment merits" when Laura emphasised that share purchases were what C1872 were set up to do? How long does it take to perform due diligence on Rangers? A couple of hours? No mention of which will take priority. It's a bit disturbing also that C1872 need Dave King's agreement to invest in the club. Surely that's a member decision and not a Dave King decision? Who told them that? Did the not read the accounts where the requirement was quite clear?

The full C1872 statement that Ian linked to above: Club 1872 is delighted that Rangers Vice Chairman, John Bennett reconfirmed Rangers’ commitment to working with Club 1872 at today’s AGM. We also note his confirmation that Rangers now require additional shareholder funds going into 2021 - something that we had previously been advised would not be the case. Prior to the AGM, and in advance of us presenting the vote to our members on Resolution 8, we requested that Club 1872 be guaranteed the opportunity to invest directly into the Club. The RIFC Board submitted to our request and that is the undertaking that John Bennet has now confirmed at the AGM. This provides Club 1872 - and consequently our members - with the additional benefit of acquiring shares from Dave King and from the Club, which will only strengthen our position going forward. This is a very positive development for supporters and for our present and future members. It also reinforces the importance of Club 1872 raising sufficient funds to take advantage of this unique opportunity that was initially offered by Dave King and has now been added to by the Club - particularly as further share issues by the Club on similar terms beyond summer 2021 are extremely unlikely. We are grateful to Dave King for agreeing to support the opportunity for us to invest directly in the Club and therefore further progress his dream of broad supporter influence at Board level. As Dave has repeatedly pointed out - and as supported by John Bennett today - the Club has always had supporters as significant shareholders but that is no guarantee that the broad supporter base will be considered when major decisions are being made. In addition, we are compelled to correct some of the reporting of today’s AGM. The suggestion that Club 1872 has ever “refused” or “declined” to participate in any share issue of RIFC is inaccurate. Dialogue regarding our participation in the latest share issue continued with the Rangers Board as recently as this past week. During the tenure of Dave King’s chairmanship we were fully informed of the investment merits of investing in each share issue in which we participated. Club 1872 applies the same due diligence that any investor would. Unfortunately, we were unable to complete this due diligence in time for the most recent issue but that has no significance overall as the funds remain available for future share purchases from Dave King and the Club. As we have said since the start of our legacy campaign, we have an agreement with Dave King which will allow us to divert any funds from the purchase of his shareholding towards the Club if it has a share issue that we are able to support. It is now even more important that fans get behind Club 1872 as we seek to purchase Dave King’s shareholding and also participate in any future share issue of RIFC. Our ability to meet these goals will purely be down to how many Rangers supporters join us. We look forward to dialogue with the RIFC Board in the New Year on Club 1872’s future participation and to receiving the investor information which will allow us to move forward.

Confirmation that a firm offer to C1872 to buy as many shares that they would like at a fixed price has again been made. (around 9.44)

Douglas Park - "I am proud of fellow fans like myself who are prepared to step up and invest money into our beloved club."

Itten is his replacement.

Having witnessed homophobic abuse at Ibrox and that it seemed to drive the recipient away from attending games, it's not something that should be dimissed as people being sensitive. There's no place for it.

They're not saying that he was found innocent or that he wasn't homophobic, just that they're taking no action.

I'd been to the Lyngby, CSKA and Bruges games and my money had run out by the Marseille game as I was getting married later that year, so I didn't go. It was a hellish trip, in and out in the one day. Yeah, just one more goal in that game and we were through to the final, and I fancied our chances against that Milan side.

I went over to Bruges for that game. Yeah, we possibly should have won but I recall being relatively happy with a draw.

Antwerp are going through a Celticesque run of form. 3 wins and 5 losses in their last 10 games.

But Dave King told us that there wouldn't be any more share issues and if there were they wouldn't be at 20p...
