BEARGER

You have not answered my question in post No. 3

As far as the Scotland manager is concerned, he should go. He had a relatively easy group for the Euros and failed miserably, Ireland who did not beat us in either game finished third. Who's to blame? Obviously the SFA, they reward failure, he fails and gets another contract. They did the same with Levien, failed and got another contract. Nothing will change while we have the blazers in the SFA in charge.

To be honest I never noticed the guy at the bottom right corner. What are you getting at that I sometimes mean us more harm than good? Admin can delete if they wish of course.

Thanks.......

Sums them up.

Suppose there's no problem posting these on here( I mean with Club1882). Club 1872 Board Meeting – 29th October 2016 Club 1872 Board Meeting – 29th October 2016 In attendance – James Blair (Board), Joanne Percival (Board), William Cowie (Board), Laura Fawkes (Board), Craig Houston (Board), Iain Leiper (Board), Alex Wilson (Board), Stewart Robertson (invited for introductions), Chris Graham (invited to assist with matters still arising from working group handover), Malcolm Stenhouse (invited to assist with matters still arising from working group handover), and Christine Sommerville (invited to take minutes). Stewart Robertson attended the first section of the meeting to introduce himself to the new Board members. He explained that the Club was fully behind Club 1872 and it was a great benefit to the Club to have only one organisation with which to liaise. However, he pointed out that while he hoped that Rangers would develop a good working relationship with Club 1872, it is important for it to remain independent from Rangers and to hold the Rangers Board accountable where necessary. There were some questions put to Stewart regarding how to hold Rangers to account, whether a Club 1872 representative would be offered a position on the Rangers Board, and discussions on the best way to get to a position of 25%+1 and increase membership. Stewart noted the issues and said that he feels that these things will evolve in time, with further discussions taking place in the future to look at the details of those issues. After Stewart’s departure, the Board looked at matters arising, summarised below. Joanne Percival will oversee the transfer of RST assets to Club 1872, with assistance from Christine Sommerville (in her role as RST Board member). In response to an enquiry, the Board considered whether it was necessary and appropriate to seek a resolution of the members before changing the name of the Shares CIC to Club 1872 Shares CIC. The Board’s view was that this had been dealt with when contributors had voted to approve the Club 1872 proposal and adopt the Club 1872 name. The Rangers First name would be preserved through the dormant subsidiary of the CIC. The Board then moved on the discuss other items on the agenda, summarised below: Social Media Policy Copies of other organisations’ social media policies were distributed to the group. Two members had volunteered to assist with the Club 1872 Twitter and Facebook accounts. The Board agreed to accept those offers. Chris Graham agreed to pass on login details. Individual members agreed to be careful what they put out on their personal accounts due to the possibility of people assuming it is from Club 1872. Laura Fawkes and Joanne Percival will oversee a Social Media Working group, which will draft a policy. This will be emailed to the Board to be agreed. Review of Admin Costs and Office Lease It was agreed to sign the lease and retain the office until a new lease is due. This will give the Board the opportunity to use the space for a variety of suggested uses (e.g. proxy collections, meeting members, etc.) and then assess whether having the office is worthwhile. In addition, it was agreed to retain the admin worker on a full-time basis until Christmas, and review the situation then. Some Board members were unclear about the type of admin work required. Chris Graham and Laura Fawkes gave examples of the kind of admin tasks that are ongoing. It was also agreed to halt the marketing payments until further notice. Publication of Board Meeting Minutes A discussion took place regarding whether full minutes or a summary should be sent to members. Iain Leiper pointed out that he and others had made a commitment at the hustings re publishing full minutes. It was agreed that, at times, there may be sensitive information discussed particularly around share purchase or potential projects. It was agreed that a full summary of Board meetings would to be sent out to members, omitting such information. The Board agreed that this was the best way to protect the organisation while maintaining a commitment to transparency. Rangers First 2014 CIC Annual Report Iain Leiper distributed a template for the annual report. He will continue to work on it and will consult with others if required. Part of the report concerns how we involve members in the decision-making process and several examples were cited, e.g. polling members on key issues. Drive To Increase Membership Craig Houston will draft an action plan to be agreed by the Board. It was also suggested that a Working Group be set up to take this forward and involve members who want to participate more in the organisation. Board Objectives 2016-2017 Alex Wilson will produce a document to be approved by the Board. This will cover, amongst other things, a section on shareholding. It was also agreed that share purchase would be a standing item on the agenda as this is a priority for every Board member. AGM and Voting Intentions/Arrangements The Board agreed that a poll of members would be carried out re voting intentions for forthcoming AGM. Club 1872 will be asking shareholders for proxies and need to agree a system for doing so once the members’ vote is known. This will be discussed further via email. It was agreed the Craig Houston (with Laura Fawkes as back up) would vote the shares at the AGM. All Other Business Craig Houston suggested that the board investigate steps to protect and ensure the independence of the organisation. Board members agreed to this suggestion. This will be taken forward and reviewed. William Cowie to email Board re suggested finance procedures. Due to lack of time, Christine Sommerville will email correspondence from members that require the Board’s attention. The next board meeting will take place on 3rd December.

Probably be blown out of all proportion in tomorrows press. https://twitter.com/seanreilly71/status/798872014463389696'>https://twitter.com/seanreilly71/status/798872014463389696 https://twitter.com/seanreilly71/status/798872014463389696

Is this the first time a Rangers player has admitted publicly that they were against Le Guen? "I was at Rangers when Paul le Guen was manager and in all honesty, as players, we weren’t open enough to the things he wanted to do. He had bold ideas and it seemed so far removed from the norm that it was frowned upon. Now a few years down the line, I think players are more receptive to different ideas."

Did a google search, the Glasgow Charity Cup was decided on corners a few times.

Saw this on FF and it rings a bell with me but can't remember when and what competition, anyone know? "I'm sure way back that the number of corner kicks were used to decide the winners of games in the event of a draw. In League Cup ? Anyone remember.?"

We don't need to go back to far to find a CD partnership that would have not concede these goals, Weir & McManus. Not the best ever, but how far we have fallen.

The guys who put in their money are entitled to recompense , we always knew this would be via getting shares rather than cash. As has been pointed out the only way they can get their cash back is by selling the shares. Some are awfully good at telling others what to do with their money.

Could be I'm not reading you correctly. Are you saying that for every £100 collected from contributors only £47.50 can be used for purchasing shares? What time frame is this in, yearly? Monthly?

Who did they buy them from?

I drink Smirnoff Gold cinnamon and have no problem.

Only saw first 20 minutes and last 10, woeful.

Nobody took Hill.

Goal Clint Hill.

This year at Ibrox.

Wonder why the guy asked for £40k for earrings that cost £45K ? Discount for cash ?

Wimp.........

Are you sure about that? Not saying you're wrong, but I thought that any new "company" had to put a final figure of total number of shares on its prospectus.

How many more shares are the club allowed to issue?
