    Rangers TV?

    SteveC replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat

    the hypocritical mendicants are at home on Saturday, Ian - presumably their empty seats and our large following is too much for the police to control, what with all the filming of fans singing songs that they have to do. I can feel your follow up question "So why not Sunday....?" coming up, but I am afraid I don't know the answer.

    Yikes, nightmares continuing.....
  3. SteveC
    Indeed, so true re Rhegan - but did I read somewhere that he has been put on some UEFA professional board - or was that just a nightmare I had?

    amms - no, I didn't have any problems with it either. King was convicted on 41 counts, he had the choice of two years jail per count or pay a huge fine instead. As he could easily afford the huge fine, he paid that rather than serving the rest of his days in prison. it is also true that a judge described him in the very words we would describe Green or Whyte - strangers to the truth/glib liars. The difference is simple - King is a Rangers fan so we want him; the others weren't, so, obviously, were only using their devious wiles ("business expertise") to line their own pockets. I write this as one who wants King far more than the current board or any previous owners back to pre-Mint days btw

    I'd go further. I really am not looking forward to it. I work most weekends but make trips up to see us when I am not. Or at least I did last year, am doing so this season and plan to the one after. If we go up (I don't like tempting fate) in successive seasons to the "top" of our arsehole, er, division ,..... then, I really will find it hard. I do want to see Rangers of course but I never want to see us play the timz again, I can't bear the thought of being that physically close to them or the Sheep or Hibs, Dundee Hibs - pretty much all of them actually. I feel the same re Dunfermline and, very much so, Hearts.

    Painting them red would not stop the story, note: "But Mr Mann, the MP for Bassetlaw, added: ‘Whether they call it a “Red Hand salute” or whatever makes absolutely no difference – this is one of the most offensive gestures they could make in the modern world.’" Which is exactly how the vast majority of people reading the story will feel, alongside wondering what the hell any of it has to do with a football club and how sad Rangers' fans are. This is like incredibly free and powerful propaganda to our enemies. Tragically we are seen as the Nazi club while the Daily Mail and Septic fans - both big Hitler fans back in the day - jeer at us.

    That may be so, gunslinger - but they have succeeded in smearing us all as Nazi lovers across the UK. Apparently it is front page "news" despite the age and spread across two pages in the English editions. We have many enemies who are out to get us - but "we" keep shooting ourselves anyway, not so much in the foot but in the heart and brain, or at the very least "we" give our enemies the ammunition to gun us down.

    The irony of the Hitler loving Daily Mail, the oddity of years old photographs being used for a story near Remembrance Day 2013 aside - this is causing huge damage to us. It's already been on Sky and reference made to "Rangers' supporters salute" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2477639/SHAMEFUL-Fury-UK-soldiers-investigated-performing-Nazi-style-salute-Helmand.html

    Thisis lifted from FF thread on a DR story running today re Paul Murray and the AGM, from someone who has read that story, emboldment mine: ============== "Christian Purslow still lined up to be new chief executive. New financial director is in place but no names are revealed. Murray stating he has a team ready to go to work. Murray and Mccoll's legal team have also secured the identities of the figures behind Blue pitch Holdings and Margarita Holdings, they will be revealed by tomorrow. ===============

    Really? I know you love Green, endless posts supporting that spiv over and over here an on RM. Didn't realise it went further. Do you like Stockbridge and the Easdales too? Did you hold a candle for Whyte? Not that Mather is in their league, he is just repellent nowhere near as accomplishedly mendacious.
  11. SteveC
    What a petty, childish statement to put out. How sad people like that are in charge of our club and befoul our official channels of communication.
  12. SteveC
    I saw that too, but it was dwarved by an outstanding Midsummer's Night Dream earlier in the same day. The Globe is, as you said earlier. Crawford01 "easily the best value for money I've ever received".. A few years ago, the two parts of Henry IV on the same day was the best Saturday I can remember since I was last at a Saturday OF game we won (to draw us back onto Rangers) - and I look forward to going back to the Globe but would rather never see an OF game, I can't stand the thought of seeing them in our ground again. Yes, yes, I'll be all excited when it happens - but I would now rather live without it.
  13. SteveC
    No cost to Mather though, it will have been a trip we paid for.
  14. SteveC
    I find this a rather worrying move, clearly the spivs are/were panicking that they would be run out of their gravy train and are doing this to cling to power. How anyone (including King) can trust them to behave in the clubs interests in the future after all they have said and done is beyond me. This move may just keep Mather, Stockbridge and the Easdales at our club and they and toxic Jack will continue ripping the pounds and piss out of us, the fans that they clearly despise. If King is playing a game of double bluff with them, then it's on a knife edge who will triumph in the end and how much collateral damage there will be. We are talking abut the folk who've stolen millions and attacked fans staying on our board, deciding our future while lining their pockets.

    Thanks for that Ian, I think AJ is right - as he so often is and has been. Excellent post by "bossy" above - I was just going to write something to the same effect re questions and "balancing act" but he beat me to it and put it perfectly.

    Stayed 2-1 to them

    The team for this (at the start) was: @RFC_Youth Youths are under way against Motherwell: Simonsen; Sinnamon, Halkett, Gasparotto, McAusland; McKay, Murdoch, Aird, Templeton; Shiels, Stoney We are 2-1 down. Shiels and McKay have been replaced

    Are you kidding? over a million a month operational loss and £10 million paid to non-playing staff (almost a tenth to Green in his wonderful globe trotting, million making year) while storm damage at Auchenowie goes unmended. To say nothing of the fact that this is them polished up as nicely as possible to give the best possible view from October of what the situation was in June. there's also this to take into account: http://www.followfollow.com/news/tmnw/discounting_any_spin_on_the_rangers_accounts__167m_will_need_to_be_knocked_off_any_profit_808588/index.shtml The accounts for 13 months to June 2013 will benefit from the non recurring items already declared in the interim results. It is therefore conceivable that RIFC could report a profit before tax in the accounts about to be published. However this will be entirely due to the £20.465m 'profit' created by revaluing the brand and properties on the balance sheet which was shown in the interim accounts. There were also £3.7m of non recurring expenses recorded in the interim results giving net non-recurring credits of £16.7m Therefore, whatever the headline profit reported, the underlying result will be £16.7m worse and that does not include costs incurred in relation to fund raising which don't go through the profit and loss account and were £4.373m in the interim accounts.

    More than likely going by this: An extraordinary item appeared last Tuesday on Professor Roy Greenslade's MediaGuardian blog. It was a harsh attack on his colleague Henry McDonald, the long-serving Ireland correspondent of The Observer and The Guardian. The Prof noted that the previous Friday a story by Mr McDonald had appeared in The Guardian wrongly attributing a Belfast murder the night before to "Republican paramilitaries". Mr Greenslade was right that in the heat of the moment Mr McDonald had got his facts wrong, apparently relying on incorrect information from Republican dissidents. A man and a woman with no paramilitary connections were later charged. Yet it seemed odd that the Prof should have launched a public attack on a colleague for a pardonable mistake. Mr Greenslade, who has long-standing links with Sinn Fein, evidently resented the imputation of Republican involvement. Before writing his piece he did not contact his colleague. Nor did he do so last August when he wrote a blog criticising British newspapers, including Mr McDonald's, for not covering the annual Sinn Fein conference during which a Presbyterian minister and former British Army chaplain, the Reverend David Latimer, called Martin McGuinness one of the "true great leaders of modern times". Had the Prof spoken with Mr McDonald, he would have learnt that he had intended to attend the conference but did not do so because his mother was dying. Few people are aware that The Guardian's media sage has affiliations with Sinn Fein. During the late 1980s, when he was managing news editor of The Sunday Times, he secretly wrote for An Phoblacht, the Sinn Fein newspaper, which then served as a propaganda sheet for the Provisional IRA. His pseudonym was George King. We know this from Flat Earth News by Nick Davies, a Guardian colleague and instigator of the journalistic investigation into phone hacking. When Mr Greenslade reviewed Mr Davies's book on his blog in 2008, he did not deny what some may regard as a pretty serious allegation. In a more recent blog, he described Mr Davies as his friend. The connections endure. Last June, Mr Greenslade spoke at a Sinn Fein conference in London on the 30th anniversary of the hunger strikes, and he wrote an article on the same subject for An Phoblacht . He has had a house in County Donegal for many years. One friend is Pat Doherty, from 1988 until 2009 vice president of Sinn Fein, who has been named as a former member of the IRA Army Council. Given his sympathies, it is fair to surmise that Mr Greenslade dislikes Mr McDonald's articles about Sinn Fein's links to organised crime, and saw his recent piece as an attempt to blacken the organisation. Mr McDonald is certainly no friend to Sinn Fein but, equally, he has received Loyalist death threats, and his house in Belfast has been fortified against Loyalist attacks. (By the way, I have never met him.) I'd say he was a brave and honest reporter who, unlike Mr Greenslade, is not parti pris. May I suggest that when he next writes about Northern Ireland Mr Greenslade should be open about his allegiances? And also that he should talk to colleagues before attacking them? Both are considered good journalistic practice, and he is, after all, Professor of Journalism at City University, where there must be impressionable students who look up to him. Roy Greenslade would do well to ponder on what, one way and another, is a bit of an ethical tangle. from: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/opinion/stephen-glover/stephen-glover-the-troubles-are-still-raging-for-the-guardians-media-pundit-7561788.html

    good on you Chris

    All totally true and well put, Zappa. It is so straightforward it really shouldn't need to be said, however all internet forums attract nutters and people who cannot behave/you wouldn't spend 2 minutes trying to talk to in real life. Despite the plain common sense you speak, it will not be listened to. Some of the things written by so called Rangers supporters on the internet and their wild conspiracy theories re the likes of Paul Murray and the RST don't just make you despair, they turn your stomach. The Tin Man is perfectly correct in his assessment above; it is a crying shame for the ones who put time, effort, control and restraint into using the internet properly, but trolls, show-offs and those for whom their virtual identity is the only one they have will always wreck public forums. And, as Tin Man notes, it would appear this is even more so, than as is the already sad norm,on Rangers' forums.

    I know it isn't Rangers but I really wanted to post that headline. Admin chop & accept my apology if I have misjudged. Paolo Di Canio: Sunderland sack head coach after 13 games Sunderland have sacked head coach Paolo Di Canio after a poor start to the season that has left the Black Cats bottom of the Premier League table. The 45-year-old Italian has won three of his 13 matches since being appointed in March and taken only one point from five league games this campaign. "An announcement will be made in due course regarding a permanent successor," read a club statement. In the meantime, coach Kevin Ball will take charge of the first-team squad.
