Did Lennon observe the minute's silence for the Ibrox Disaster anniversary in January?

Yes they were singing that as well as throwing objects at our players and the match officials. But they won't make a statement about that.

They and Supporters Direct have already been contacted. Debating whether to contact Tayside Police as well...

Given their offence at Rangers fans the other night, perhaps they'd care to explain their position on the following terms they like to use? 1. http://www.facebook.com/arabtrust1909/posts/132549293423506 Rumoured opening day fixtures:- Us v Killie, Accies v Celtic, Jambo h*** v Aberdeen, ICT v Motherwell, h*** v Hibs and St. M v St.j 2. http://www.facebook.com/arabtrust1909/posts/119375364747723 Tina Turner 'The Best' has dropped from the entire top 40, oh well, the h*** didn't quite get the chance to validate their SPL Championship via the charts. With refs like the one yesterday, is it any wonder the h*** won it? Whilst I'm on the subject, really gotta love Reggie Yates and the 'Oh my God, init' way he talks:- ''Tixt in wiv wot you fink''. 3. http://twitter.com/#!/RobertJohnBrown/status/47739676852895744 We owe the 'DIET-h***' a hiding after their gloating last time round......2-1 to United (only because we're knackered!@ 70%) Hmmmm! PS: Thanks to jcdgow on Twitter for the info!

Glad someone noticed that Dutchy!

Yes. Administration continues to be considered as a deliberate strategy for the future - especially if the tax case goes against us.

Yeah: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/greenslade/2011/apr/20/celtic-newspapers He and Phil are also spouting off in the comments section. Really quick sick actually.

The Greenslade blog in today's Guardian really is disgusting. The unsubstantiated claims he and Phil are making in the comments section really are quite incredible.

Some funny game name suggestions via Twitter: Hungry hungry hypocrites Huvneyacluedo Game of Strike Fakes and Bladders :D

That depends on how eager MIH are to sell the club to Whyte. It's definitely a real possibility as it stands.

An extraordinary general meeting - usually called on short notice and deals with an urgent matter.

Our owner will speak to anyone who he feels he can get a good deal from. I'd fancy these people may have 6 weeks to make their play if serious. As long as it takes to remove them via an EGM apparently....

These are selling very fast - could be sold out in 48 hours!

Possibly a public show of unity for the partial rejection of the Whyte bid.

Welcome to the site!

That was hilarious last night. Just as well the Bobby wasn't Dougie Hope.

Rangers go four points clear with easy victory away in Dundee including three penalties! http://www.gersnetonline.co.uk/2010/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=402:dundee-utd-0-4-rangers-player-ratings-and-mom-poll&catid=1:articles&Itemid=67 :sd: The wee man looked sharp, hungry and confident for the first time in a while last night. He has to take this form into Sunday's game and, if he does, we will win. Also thought Lafferty had a fine, fine match last night. :spl:

No-one knows where the bombs have come from but Lennon's own dubious background means nothing can be ruled out.

Even AJ says Whyte is unlikely to pull out as it stands. We're just going to have to wait again and hope, in the meantime, that we win on Sunday!

With all the excitement surrounding the potential takeover of the club, we at Gersnet thought it would make good business sense to try and make the club some money off the back of the subject. To that end, we've released our official RFC Takeover board-game - fun for all the family! Click the image below to bring up the full-size playing board: Full size image = http://i51.tinypic.com/2m2yudf.jpg In association with a well known metals company, we'll soon be releasing accompanying limited edition stainless steel playing pieces reflecting all the current 'players' in the takeover saga. All this for a very reasonable �£169.00 (+ VAT + Delivery). What a deal! :spl:

No, I agree. While I have a bit more to say on it than most people I've literally no idea who are the good and buy guys here. I don't think anyone else can either.

The lad is entitled to his opinion but I'd have rather he kept his opinion to himself. I do find it difficult to know when Diouf is being serious or ripping the p!ss though.

Must admit it is very strange that he's never even come on for a few mins, never mind start a game. Has to be a financial reason.

In the most important week of the season so far on the field, it's no coincidence that off-the-field a variety of matters are also coming to a head. Be it our HMRC tax tribunal in Edinburgh resuming for the next fortnight or the takeover saga taking its daily twist, we're not spoilt for discussion. Yesterday this website revealed that today was the day with respect to the club announcing to PLUS that the takeover was complete. Unfortunately this doesn't look like coming to pass with a late 'snag' halting the deal in its tracks. According to the media the independent bid oversight committee (comprising of Alistair Johnston, Martin Bain, John McLelland, Donald McIntyre and John Greig) want to delay any takeover until the end of the season. The question on everyone's lips is why? Throughout this ownership saga doubts have been cast on Craig Whyte's ability to fund his bid - not with regard to the purchase price (that was agreed over a month ago and those funds are in place) but in respect of the provision of ongoing financial investment (i.e. the �£25million/5 year budget rumoured in the media). It appeared that over the weekend such doubts had been allayed and the deal was set to complete. Not so! Thus, what has changed then? Have Whyte's financial backers changed their mind on which horse to back? Or have the oversight committee picked up on a controversial aspect of his plans that they want examined? Moreover, how much credence can we place in renewed speculation that there may be a management buy out in the pipeline? Unfortunately, despite the conjecture we read in the media and across the forums, answers to these questions are difficult to find. After all, surely if a management buy out was viable, these directors would be in breach of their independent responsibilities to the bid panel? What other reason can be given for a delay given Whyte is apparently ready to buy immediately? Recent weeks have been most interesting in the takeover debate. As this site uncovered Lloyds Banking Group have said they will not interfere while Alastair Johnston also inferred he was happy with the Whyte presentation. Unfortunately, delayed interim financial results and two different tax cases will have contributed to further legal wrangles. Meanwhile, two separate UEFA charges could also indicate fiscal problems for any new owner. The current Rangers board will be busy people! We were told at last year's AGM that their responsibilities were always to the club and fans. To that end, it is interesting that despite all the latest gossip, they've chosen not to comment to the shareholders/support. This is even more surprising given the support are about to invest another �£20million of our money into the club for next season. Surely, it is beyond time for this committee to either approve or reject the Whyte bid? Of course even then it's not as simple as the bid then being dead. MIH still have the majority shareholding required to sell irrespective of any committee recommendation. However, it's been rumoured that Craig Whyte doesn't fancy this route due to the time-scales involved in thereafter removing what would be a 'hostile' board. On the other hand, if Whyte does say enough is enough where would that leave us then? Would other interested parties step into the breach and 'save' the club from a bank still keen on clawing back its debts? And if they did, how could we as a support trust these people given their mistakes over the last decade? Moreover, why are they waiting so long to make their move? Unfortunately, there are obviously still far more questions than answers. None of us know if Whyte has the wherewithal (financial and strategic) to run Rangers in a better fashion that we've seen of late. As such, we have no option to defer to the oversight committee to act on our behalf - despite their poor performance as directors previously. As ever the support stand confused and alone. A RFC Management buy out may well be out of self-interest or an unavoidable financial necessity but until they share with us their concerns they're guilty of making the same mistakes again by treating our worries with disdain. In our season ticket renewal letters, manager-in-waiting Ally McCoist said our huge financial commitment is 'not one we (the club) take for granted'. Unless the club sorts out the takeover shambles soon then that is not just a patronisation but an outright lie.

You have lunch there more than I have lunch in my actual home.
