If that lot win it, it's all doom and gloom. Exactly this 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ended the piece by saying, "Neil Doncaster and Murdoch MacLennan, these are the good guys". He should be reminded. Michael is a useful idiot to whoever requires his services. Perhaps the SFA have now looked at the SPFL/SPL’s track record & handed the gun to Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The action against the SPFL can't be about money, it must be about creating change at the top of that organisation. Leaking it to the media, along with uncomfortable truths around employment contracts, during a quiet sports news period, feels deliberate too. It feels like we're ramping up pressure on Doncaster, his paymasters, and the other clubs in the SPFL who might be swithering over where to fall on this. The spin around the SFA backing us on it only helps create division and uncertainty, must make it fun when they all bump into each other in the lift at Hampden. Cantwell publicly mocking Celtic's pet broadcaster might be coincidence, but again it feels like we've decided to get in their faces from the off. Beale clearly annoyed Celtic's last manager with some rather innocuous comments, perhaps we've decided to go all in on that this season. It's a strategy that should please many in our support, but does run the risk of making us look foolish if it only helps galvanise them. They (Celtic) are also running risks too with their "I will see you here next May" comments from Rodgers, along with his claim to want to do better in Europe, effectively suggesting that domestic success is a foregone conclusion. I would argue that the galvanisation should be stronger for us than for them. That said, no professional should need the words of a rival to motivate them to beat them 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen in the Herald Doncaster has a 2 year notice period. Quite unusual. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a strategy that should please many in our support, but does run the risk of making us look foolish if it only helps galvanise them. We have had the tanks parked on their lawn for over three years with little return. Initially, we went in with size 14's (a full panzer división) and surprisingly seemed surprised when very few clubs were interested in backing our stance. Los tres amigos remain in the executive (perhaps McKenzie has left but it would have been of his own choice). We have become accustomed to articles or 'news' that speculate on positive tendencies and outcomes. They are too often pish and wind that come to nothing or indeed, very negative outcomes, eg. Ashley/SDI. What we have to do regards to getting in their faces is simple. Beat them in the first OF match at Ibrox. Neither side are going to drop many points to the rest.
