  1. now we know why they were desperate to form SPFL from SPL. They gave SFL £800,000 when we were in the bottom tier, if the status quo remained, SPL would have had to have stumped up money this season to SFL and the TV companies.
  2. starting just now. after 2-0 defeat v Portugal last week, it will be a tough ask for the young Scots.
  3. still 0-0 after 41 mins edit 0-0 half time. a point wins the league for u20s.
  4. 3-1 Athletico. game over. What a final it's going to be.
  5. apparently there are documents showing he received notice in January that there would be no credit card facility.
  6. my son had £1 on a fivefold Both teams to score & win. he had four up and waiting on Bury to beat Portsmouth. Bury went 4-2 ahead after 82 mins only Pompey to score two goals in the last two mins. He was nearly greeting. £900 he would have won.
  7. No it wasn't, it was gross mismanagement from the butchers, bakers and candlestick makers that were on our board for the past 2 years.
  8. One of Rangers' major shareholders has told BBC Scotland that the financial situation at Ibrox is "fragile". Rangers' recent accounts were signed off for the next 12 months on the basis of an uplift in season ticket sales, but Sandy Easdale said indications were that sales were "slow". Ahead of the publication of the board's business review, he urged "loyal" fans to show their support to the club. Easdale also warned that Rangers would not survive a second administration. The major shareholder, speaking exclusively to BBC Scotland, admitted that the situation was "fragile". “I would say that in 140 years, the club's gone into administration once; I don't think it would survive a second one” Sandy Easdale Rangers shareholder "At the end of the day, the club is at a crossroads at the moment and a fragile position. It can either go forward with a strategic view, with a long-term view, steady as she goes, or be pulled apart in other directions. "I don't actually know the figures (for season ticket renewals) but I think there's a couple of situations there; we're a couple of weeks early. People are waiting for a report. At this moment in time, ticket sales are what I'd say are slow." Asked whether they would be in sufficient number in order to sustain Rangers in the short-term, Easdale said: "We've got all the numbers; me and [chief executive Graham Wallace] are confident and the board's quite confident that we'll meet those numbers. "To answer the question, some of the fans will say when I answer it that, that it's blackmail or we're putting them into emotional blackmail. "But I would say that, in 140 years, a lot of boards and directors came and went but there's only been one club. "If you're loyal and you support the club, then come out and support the club. It doesn't matter who's running the club or who wants to run the club; the main thing is the loyal supporters need to come out, by a man, and stand by the club. "That's what the club's been built on: loyalty." Asked whether supporters not renewing could run the risk of a second administration, Easdale replied: "That's a difficult question. And it's a question that I don't want to need to answer or be in a position that this board would be forced into that situation. "Again, I would say that in 140 years, the club's gone into administration once; I don't think it would survive a second one. "So, I would ask every loyal Rangers fan, and I pick my words correctly in saying loyal Rangers fans, supports the club at this time and gives it a chance. "We don't want to go back to the dark days of administration. Everything's a possibility and at the moment we've got to look on a positive as a board, taking it forward. "At the moment, there is a lot of noise around the Trust; we don't know the situation with the Trust. "But, as from a board, it's business as usual. We've got to keep going forward." Asked about the completion of Graham Wallace's 120-day business review, and fans seeking clarity on a range of issues, Easdale continued: "I hope it answers all their [the fans'] questions; it answers our questions and it's a clear indication where Graham and the board want to take the club. "The content of which we hope's enough, because obviously, I'm not going to hide behind it as usual: Stock Exchange reasons, price sensitivities, all these things are in the wider report. "So, we're kind of tied by the Stock Exchange in what we can say. As for me, I'd love to tell the fans all, but, the PLC board is tied by rules and regulations." Additionally, a senior source at Ibrox has told BBC Scotland he believes Rangers are "on a life-support machine". http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27142340 I thought the BBC were banned form interviews?
  9. Let's face it, if there was anything meaningful in the 120 day review, it would have been out well before now. It seemed like a stalling tactic to me.
  10. Membership should not be another cash cow for the board, It should be a something meaningful and fan representation on the board would be welcome. edit: just noticed it's a fan representation board they are proposing not fan representation ON the board
  11. Didn't we broadcast away matches ourselves via RTV on top of our usual tv income? we haven't done that this season.
  12. They know they can't sell 11,000 tickets, so request 20,000 just so Rangers fans can't attend. It's Thompson's poor attempt at getting back at Rangers fans.
  13. The delight on young Gallagher's face after he scored is a sight to behold.
  14. Somers' open letter to Kings says: "The board of Rangers International Football Club has noted your astonishing press releases over the past few days. "These statements and innuendos are very damaging to the club, which we can only assume is your intention. "We wish you to attend a meeting to explain your allegations in more detail as soon as possible. Please confirm your availability." http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/rangers/265980-rangers-board-summons-dave-king-to-meet-to-explain-damaging-statements/
  15. An embarrassing statement, Would have been better not to say anything at all.
  16. Why not go after him and take legal proceedings?
