Funny you should say that I was in an Indian restaurant once(of many times) I can't remember the name but it was on the corner of Sauchiehall street and Eldersliestreet which is on the Kelvingrove side of Charing Cross. The waiter came up to a table with a trolley and put the curry on a plate and then set it alight to Flambé it. He then went to put the plate on the table but dropped it on the customers lap. The guy was screaming and was rushed away to the kitchen. He did come back and eat a meal but I guess it did not end there.

Transfer Deadline Day: Michael O'Halloran signs until 2020
pete replied to der Berliner's topic in Rangers Chat
He must be a lot better than in the game I saw him to warrant that amount. A hell of a lot better. -
At what level does a gagging order stop. Is it only King who should have the information or can he congress with the board of Rangers. What about the shareholders, do they not have a right to have an insight into contracts?

Sorry Dell edited your post to change my spelling mistake. It seems I thought seems was seams and when I read your post seams seemed wrong. So seams is now seems or so it seems. Maybe he hates Mike Ashely as well. -

I think we should pulse Spurs about Andros Townsend even if on loan. He seems to have dropped down the pecking order there but has been an England International in almost all age groups including senior level. I saw him for Spurs reserves a few weeks ago and he was pretty awesome -

I am not worried in the least. In the game I saw him he looked crap. We have lost very few goals this year in comparison to what we have scored. Halliday is great for me to the end of the season and I am sure Law or Shiels could also fill that role. I will be more disappointed if he comes. -
11PM: Late Call Reflections of my day.

I think they would get plenty of witnesses. What I would like to see is them getting a neutral person who has no idea what the Billy Boys is and ask them to write down what is being sung. I have a inclination that all these shocked people are hearing what they want to hear.

You have our fantastic Wifi system at hand.

I think you will find that is the definition of a bigot in a nutshell Frankie.

The stupid thing is that this makes Chris McLaughlin a bigot the very thing he is accusing Rangers of.

I thought that myself when complaining about the podcast we are linked too. Why can't we do one ourselves. I got the answer myself. I have no idea how to do it and it would soak up a lot of Frankie's and the technical guy's. time. Great idea though.

I laughed at it anyway, I thought it was brilliant. Warburton had to laugh himself as well, saying that is a late curve ball. Brilliant humorous end.

Oh how I remember getting the fingernail brush and scrubbing all the black-ash out of the graze that ran down most of my thigh. When I think of it it still hurts. It was mostly Knightswood pitches I played on. Blairdardie my school pitches which had red Ash was just a little bit better but the graze was just a different colour. -
I think you are missing the point. Yes Fifa is huge and yes darts is much smaller but a building is only as strong as it's bricks. If the bricks are weak the biggest buildings can fall just as easy. the principle stays the same no matter the the size. Many of the top sponsors were ready to quit FIFA just recently( that is a fact) as were the FA. If! (and it is all if) The FA had broken away and gotten all of the ex-Fifa sponsors on their side. They already have Sky the major TV player in European Football. FIFA are then left without sponsors and I think you could safely say that other FA's would have followed suit and FIFA would have been left with it's African and possibly South American countries. That almost happened it is not a fable or a made up story. Do I care if there were 2 different football world cups, well not really I would only be interested in the Scotland team carrying Rangers players. I admit it would be a pity though. Waw with just mentioning Pirate league which I only really said off the cuff to point out it was not illegal in law to start up another Football Association. I did actually think you meant illegal in law as I think it it is a mute point in a football way as it is not likely to say in the FIFA rules. Starting up an external Football association is fine by us.

Not really Craig. The BDO used to be as powerful as the FA's. All it takes is the main players to want change and break away. If all the top teams decided to break away then it would go on the same roller coaster ride as the darts did. Erik Bristow told the story at Christmas and they sat with Ollie Croft pleading him for more TV tournaments. Ollie Croft didn't want that. The top players asked what would happen if they arranged a few tournaments themselves and was told the players that took part would be suspended. Some wanted to boycott the WC directly but because that would have been unfair to the sponsors they decided to play in the WC. The same thing could quite easily happen in football if all the top clubs join together. If Blatter had not been removed(He is still on his gigantic wage) then I think all the associations would have started to break away in the near future. The FA were already contemplating it.

Or the 16 meter box? -
In Holland the game would be stopped and it would be announced that if the singing/abuse did not stop the game will be cancelled. This has happened on a number of occasions normally through the referee or the security chief. They start the game again and normally the chanting stops in fact I don't think a game has ever been cancelled yet at prof level anyway. Not sure on that though. This latest rule is to let players know that they do not have to accept racial or any other abuse although it will the referee who decides if the game should be stopped. This new rule is just in place so I don't really know how it will work as no games have been played yet.
-
It would certainly not be illegal in the law of the land. I doubt it will happen but it could. Look how it has gone with darts. The new association would soon grow and have it's own International team and European league. If all the big English teams and Rangers Celtic and possibly other clubs in a division 2 did break away do you think the fans and TV companies will say well we will go and watch Accrington Stanley. I don't think it will happen in the short term or maybe ever but if Sky throw there weight behind a super league you never know it may be nearer than you think. It also happened in Cricket if I remember correctly.

He never mentioned the word Celtic though and as the report went on it was just about sectarian singing the pyrotechnics were forgotten. Funny enough the Dutch Football Association had a vote recently that the players themselves can decide to leave the field if racist or offensive singing is heard. If Alan Stubbs decided enough was enough with the offensive chants against him then he could have called his team off the field. The Dutch took this vote after Kevin-Prince Boateng was subjected to racist chants in a friendly Pro Patria-AC Milan, and walked off the field. FIFA didn't take a good view to his action. The Dutch want players to know they can take this action if they feel it necessary. The security officer of the home team had to make that decision in the past. The spokesmen said they were totally against taking points away from the teams though as you are punishing the club and the whole support for a few idiots

As the SFA give out the licences it is quite obvious that they can do that. It is games from teams under their or UEFA's jurisdiction though.. They couldn't stop a pirate association starting up, as happened in darts.

Sports Direct abandon claim for £200K damages from Rangers FC
pete replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
That is correct but I personally think Ashely is a putrid spoiled brat that is used to getting things his own way and had a shattering ego experience when King outmanoeuvred him at Rangers. His ego probably made him take this on. I can't really see his advisor's advising this and his lawyer seems to know little of what is going on. I think it is all about trying to bully King and therefore Rangers -

That is what Ashely is wanting. Getting back at King will also play a part. -
