I’ve been doing a lot of rethinking lately.
For a start, I’ve changed my mind about wanting Rangers to remain in Scotland and lead the game here. Now, I’d take anywhere as long as we could leave this bigoted wee country behind.
And I have to confess to another major adjustment in my thinking.
I couldnt care less about the ethics of reconstruction anymore.
By that, I mean all this “We don’t want a leg-up or a fast-track to the top tier” stuff that we Rangers fans have been saying since the summer of hate last year. Yes, it’s noble. Yes, it’s in line with the no-favours-asked ethos that is The Rangers.
The problem is, there are no ethics in a snake pit.
What we have seen in the last few days is a capitulation and sell-out on a masive scale from arguably the last bastion of sporting fairness in our senior game. I accept that all clubs need money – you can’t survive without it. But the mad dash from people in the SFL to grab the thitrty pieces of silver doled out by the Blofeld Cabal was truly sickening to behold.
There’s no ethical imperative anymore for Rangers when the clib is surrounded by such craven, greedy snivellers on all fronts. So if, because economic realities hit home and the new “authority” desecrating our game decide to invite Rangers on a fast-track to save the game, we should take it.
Don’t get me wrong – I won’t be holding my breath. But my attitude now is that the sooner we are back where we belong skelping these teams on the pitch, the better.
And that must be the approach from now on. We have an opportunity to take our anger and frustrations out on the field of play. As I blogged the other day, Rangers must develop a killer instinct and an indomitable will to crush teams every time we play them.
Maybe some of you handwringers and timid types who thought I was being “a tad harsh” will have changed your minds after the last few days.
All this “We are in the lower leagues to make friends” and “It’s a great adventure” stuff has to go now too. Been there, done that.
Next season will be like Groundhog Day unless there is a change from within Ibrox. It’s time for Super to lose his bonhomie and stop seeing Division 3 as a tour of old footballing buddies. It’s time he put a team of killers on the park. And before anyone chips in, I am not talking about kicking opponents off the park.
Although I am not ruling that out…
Obviously Charles Green is feeling the frustrations too. And who can blame him? He has put a lot of time and effort into making Rangers a major force again but it must seem like it is running on a treadmill – it doesn’t feel like any progress is being made.
And make no mistake about it. Charles Green doesn’t share the determination of most Gers fans to play our way fairly through the divisions. He understands it and respects it – or at least abides by it – but he would take a fast-track back to the top in a heartbeat.
And he is right.
We owe Scottish football nothing. So what if they denigrate us for years to come for taking a fast-track? The haters denigrate us anyway. It’s all about The Rangers; it’s not about the pack of wolves we find ourselves among.
One thing is for sure. Rangers are still very much in a battle with the cabal that is ruining our game. There are still two sides in Scottish football; it’s just that we pretty much stand alone as one of those sides for now. And we need to fight dirty if need be because the people we are fighting have no honour or integrity.
The other side is doing everything it can to break The Rangers.
But Rangers Football Club is the rock upon which they will break themselves.
Sorry Bill , totally disagree with you on a few points, Charles Green is only here for one reason , to make MONEY , he will say and do anything to keep us paying out, at times I think he is embarrassing the club , with his comments.
Secondly , our problems were caused internally , previous two owners , basically financially raped us , for their own reward. In fact I do believe Mr Murray still is !!! . We need to stop bleating about ” everyone is against us” nonesense , lets go about our business quietly and efficiently and build our way back under our own efforts.
As for Bigotry , we share a blame in this shame as well , so why don’t we drop this pretence that we are blameless , again time to move on a get rid of the cancer which hangs about like a bad smell . After all should the opportunity ever arise where we get the chance to move , know one wants a team with baggage or problems .
Lets educate instead of encouraging the bigots, after all this is supposed to be a game . With the right people talking we can do it
James no one is disputing that Charles Green in not there for a good return on his Investment. When others that could have and should have stepped up and put their money where their blue nose and mouth was they never. As for SDM financially raping us, I feel that to be a bit of a rash comment as we as a support didnt complain when we were winning championships one after the other.
The problems were in some way caused internally, but how you can say that “everyone is all against us is nonsense” well all i can say is i would love to see the moon on your planet. That said it must have been lovely there when the rest of were getting hammered daily and seeing the club take hit after hit after hit from Feb 2012 and still to this day. I take your children were not spat on and bullied or assaulted and I take it you were never subject to the same, or have supposed friends revel in your hurt.Sitting back in dignified silence is one reason they got away with some of the stuff they did.
I may not agree with everything Bill writes, and he himself will testify I usually dont, but on this occasion he is 100% spot on. No more At no point has Bill in his rambling subjected us to a page of bigotry. Look the word up, its not confined to religion.
Bill, I am converted!
Following a traumatic few days of handwringing and timidity I have come round to your view that, as we clearly have no friends in Scottish football, now is the time for The Rangers to be absolutely ruthless and self centred. IMHO Charles Green is playing a blinder and I guess he is being strongly advised by James Traynor. May your pen never run dry and some day soon We Shall Overcome (again)!
I believe that Rangers will end up in the 2nd tier next year. The Straraer promotion has set a legal precedent, and the SFA are duty bound to see it happen, or they will face a day in court, with heavy court costs.
Granted, I wanted to work our way back up, with favour, but the precedent is there. To do otherwise, would lead to the SFA and SFL clubs, being labelled ‘institutional bigots’.
Many already think that anyway, but this would cause unretractable commercial damage. to those organisations and clubs.
It would also give Rangers concrete grounds in a court, to seek financial damages from all those involved in such gerrymandering. Yes, it’s an evocative word, ‘gerrymandering’, and all the more ironic given who is responsible for it.
The stains of corruption and bigotry smeared into the very fabric of those clubs and individuals, will take many decades to be eradicated; if they ever can be.
But I no longer weep with pride at helping the SFL anymore, for they are about to discover that those stains will rub off onto them. As the saying goes,’ if you lie down with Dogs, then you’ll get fleas’.
So, I agree Bill, fuck ‘em, they had their chance.
Bill I usually find myself agreeing with your views but over the last few days I have not been. I am not happy with your U-turn on our path. I do see where your are coming from but for me we have unfinished business in this country to deal with before we move on.
Leaving Scottish football at this stage would rob us bears of the one thing that we all want…..cold blooded revenge! Leaving now would would probably eat away at us for years.
I want revenge so bad it hurts but I want to do it the right way. I want us to stick to the plan of working our way back up through the leagues gaining power as we go while the haters destroy themselves around us. I look forward to the day when Rangers walk out at Parkhead in a title decider, chests puffed out and doing what we do best, sticking it to Celtic on their own turf. I look forward to the aftermath of the game when Celtic’s manager will inevitably embarrass himself by blaming everything but his own teams gutless performance and I look forward to Super Ally being interviewed with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye as he tells the watching world “Rangers are back”.
Don’t be deterred, remember the words of Bill Struth and let’s all stay united (as we were in the summer of 2012), let’s do it the Rangers way and achieve our goal of being Scotland’s premier club once again and overthrowing the corrupt bigoted regime which currently runs Scottish football.
Its not going to happen overnight it will take RANGERS a few years to leave Scottish football and untill then, I agree lets work our way through this biased competition and grow stronger in the process.
54 and more to FOLLOW FOLLOW..
Groundhog to visit the same clubs, again, has “no respect” written all over it, and i dont mean to the club, but to the Rangers fans.
Groundhog For The Blue Pound to 11 clubs,, throw in another 6 low income clubs and u have more one half of the S.F.L happy, the other half has an increase in funds with the Doubtful chance of promotion.
At the time we were voted out the S.P.L, i had suspicion that the cabal knew, behind their smoke screen, that any half sensible director of any S.F.L club would place Rangers into the lowest division possible to maximize the benefit to the whole league and themselves, effectively using Rangers as their bargaining chip
Not for a sec do i beleive the s.p.l. and s.f.a. lost control of their objectives.
I also think we should get back to our rightful place and prepare for 55, we entered these lower leagues in the good spirit of the journey, even though previous precedents of other clubs suggested that Rangers should have only been demoted one division, we entered this unfair journey together win the dream of working our way up winning consecutive titles, championships,
This opportunity has been taken away as it was always in their mind to do so.
Everyone gets money and rewards whilst the corrupt cable conspire against the 1s that are paying for it all – the Rangers fans. ARE WE ONLY ASSOCIATE FANS OR ARE WE FULLY PAID MEMBERS WITH MORE THE A CENTURY WORTH OF COST TO PROVE IT. MAYBE THEY LOST THOSE BOOKS OF ACCOUNT IN AMONST ALL THAT INTEGRITY THEY POSSESS
Everyone gets their rewards, “that is except the rangers paying community”

see they are still at the racist / religious intolerance part again.
When in rome, do what the romans do. When these guys are out of rome, they do what the romans do.
They have the qualities and class of a cockroach.
F##k Hibs we’re Rangers men!
Bill its so obvious that The Cabals league revamp is all about harming us and putting off any more potential investors / sponsors etc. It’s an obvious case of “cutting of your nose to spite your face “as the saying goes. Charles Green in their opinion needs taught a lesson regardless of the financial outcome. Longmuir surprises me as I honestly thought he was at least treating us fairly but he’s been brought into line by the cabal. They really do want to kill us off. I don’t know the answer but at the very least us Bears need to stick together like we have been over past year and we will be Victors.
Thoroughly enjoying the blog and most of the replies, Bill. Personally, I feel the events of the past year or so are finally starting to sink in. We’re finally realising that we need to stand up for not only our Club and its values, but for our national identity also. We’ve been under constant attack for almost 20 years from an enemy, yes ENEMY, who have ingrained themselves quietly into the fabric of our culture and customs and slowly set about demonising that same culture. This has resulted in our newspapers, our television, radio, judicial system, politicians- both local and Governmental level are crammed with this Scotland-Britain-Rangers hating shower! Witness the “debate” the other night on Scotland Tonight regarding Peter Kearney’s comments regarding how certain people in Scotland have suffered akin to the Civil Rights struggle of coloured people in the 50′s and 60′s in the USA. The shows “balanced” participants were Stephen McGinty, who wrote Cardinal Winning’s biography, some other wee withering excuse to speak on behalf of Kearney, then up pops Graham Speirs! The Fun Boy Three! But this underlines how this mob are nowadays, they were mobilised and motivated to undermine, criticise, slander and ultimately try to destroy our Club. Who stood up for us? Martin Bain? But their folly is that they broke cover and showed their collective hand when they thought they had us beat. Now, it’s time for us to mobilise, organise, unify, take the whole lot of them on and smash their whole spiteful huddles. While I’m still not 100% in the Charles Green camp, at least he’s fighting our corner and standing up for our Club. The appointment of James Traynor was also a strange one at first, but could be a masterstroke. I guess my somewhat rambling rant is borne of frustration, but its one that I feel is relevant, judging by some comments on the blog. Where there was apathy, there now seems a real sense of resolve to stand up. So, stand up or better still, Rally Round The Rangers! Now, then, forever.
Bill , there has been a great deal of good will shown by our fellow sfl clubs for letting us join their league , BULLSHIT!!!!!! they could not wait to get their hands on our away supporters cash ! If they stab us inthe back they should be treated the same as the other leeches that feed off Rangers , no fuckin cash ! I personally do not care if we have no friends , did we ever have anybody do us a favour ? what about the uefa cup run ? we must now realise we stand alone , we must be ruthless NO SURRENDER ! And by the way now that savilco have a new sponsor in mingers , never again a joint sponsor , we must not be associated with a club with such a disgusting and shameful history .
“Next season will be like Groundhog Day” Easy solution to that make Longmuir and the SFL regret stitching us up by NOT ATTENDING ANY AWAY MATCHES next season.
I’d go further and say i’d like us to stop going to away matches in Scotland altogether, because what has happened is that that shower told Longmuir “i know you’re worried about those 17 teams that’ll be in the bottom, but i’ll tell you what i’ll do i’ll bring in the changes for next season that way you’ll get their cash for yet another season” We’re supposed to just go along with that!
What has happened to Rangers since we went into Administration has been rape carried out in the public eye and because of David Murray’s ‘dignified silence’ and giving Fergus McCann the initiative they have as much free scope as they need to get tore into us.
I can’t get two things out of my mind when i think of recent events.
1. That old joke (bad one) about a beautiful lassie tied to a tree in the woods and raped by scores of lumberjacks. A few hours passes and a Hill-walker comes along. “Thank God she says, i’ve been raped and beaten and left here to die…” The Hill-walker pulls down his fly and say “it’s no your lucky day hen”.
but:
2. The film ‘The Accused’ with Jodie Foster best sums up our plight. Jodie has an argument with her boyfriend and heads off to let off some steam in her local. Where she is raped on a pinball machine with plenty of people watching the crime. Some crawl off and hide in the neighbouring bar, while others watch and don’t get involved… At the end of the day the young lad comes forward out of shame for not coming forward earlier, and insures something ‘approaching’ justice.
I’m sure most of us thought that Longmuir was gonna stick by us (like the lad in the bar) but it seems the crime is set to continue with no light at the end of the tunnell…
This ‘new’ set-up isn’t worthy of our attention for three reasons:
1. The old structure remains in place from what we can see.
2. Regan and Doncaster are still holding onto their jobs and they’re holding on to them for one simple reason. We hate them for what they did and that’s why the others will keep them in power. As soon as they can damage us no more they’ll get kicked out. They know that and everyone does.
3. By turning next season into ‘Groundhog day’ they’re trying their best to piss us off so much that we cower and become pliant in their hands.
This new set up would be like Jodie going back into the same bar with the same owners, the same scumbag regulars… Why would she (Rangers) want to do that?
What a load of rubbish, your an embarrassment to the club with rubbish like that , total drivel
BILL
in my opinion the current knee jerk response is not surprising considering the position of unfairness we find ourselves in, however the clamour to quit sco football is NEVER going to happen, the corrupt cabal led by the japanese general will put paid to that,and anyway we’ll not get accepted without the scum hanging on our coattails[ i don't like them at the back of us either, you know what they're like] a flash of bum and you’re toast.uefa/fifa will only sanction such a move if they propose it, they’re too corrupt as well to bother with our small thinking, minded, dwarfs, big shots in a paddling pool, small shots in the big wide world of football. the scheme we should be following is the GERMAN one, crowds UP,grounds FULL, better all round product, this is the plan for us, we have the fan base, we have the stadia, we have the traffic infrastructure to cope, what we don’t have are people in charge who know what they are doing. this system of corruption they have dreamt up will change as we evolve into a stronger force, it will change in 2 yrs time, how can this be successful, it’s doomed for failure. this is designed to keep the scum as the driving force, all it will do is drive the fans away. we need to forget this nonsense of one big happy family, it’s dog eat dog time, and whilst we are/should be above that, the circumstances dictate otherwise, time to stop being the providers to corruption, i will not visit another away game this season, it is now pointless to give these teams any more of our money, keep our support to fill ibrox, keeping our money for ourselves. it’s hardball time because it is now been proven that this bonhomie is false from these clubs, we need to wise up, we ARE in a war, this is without question a time for reflection in regards to WHAT WE WANT, we are cast adrift in an ocean of hatred, corruption, and downright evil. doing nothing is not an option. G.S.O.Q.
This is the nonesense I question Bill , is this it !!! This is a War ! Shame on you Sir !! You have no idea what a war is , shameful remaks . I’m sure the brave service men and women we invited to Ibrox weeks ago , would appreciate your comparisons , I’m ashamed to support the same club as you .
Not so sure if you these reconstruction plans are a means to go “out to get us” or “beat us even more”.
At worst I suspect these plans are jsut a means to get Rangers under the jurisdiction of the top 12 so we have no option but to be included in the tv deal they will negotiate. Hand on heart, I think that is the ONLY reason this is being fast tracked.
It is not a means to keep us in the bottom tier for a second successive season. Even though that DOES bring it’s own “penalties” upon us as such. Sure we will still be on target to reach the top league within the same timeframe. But we are ultimately still in the bottom tier and that means less money being “trickled” down to us as we would have been entitled to in the second bottom tier. There is also the lack of prestige for want of a bettter term being a bottom tier team as opposed to a team a division higher. Those are “consequences” as they like to say of this change in format being rushed through.
But Bill, I have to say, it is being rushed through for one reason and one reason only, to get Rangers tv money that this summer they might otherwise not have got had we been able to negotiate on our own or with the SFL. For that reason I hope Rangers pull out ALL the stops to halt this process or at the very least, stall it so we can negotiate our own deal that benefits us and as a consequence, benefits the SFL. Sadly, I cannot see that happening but Charles Green in my opinion should be canvassing every SFL club and telling them his plans to get a tv deal this summer and how he will split the money between them and we can then have a proper, long look at reconstruction that will suit everyone, not just directors and owners of clubs, but fans aswell.
This is fair comment , reasoned unlike some of the others, well said
Heard Mr Green on talk sport-brilliant. Let’s leave these brood of vipers in their snake pit. I wouldn’t expect any fans up here to bemoan our departure so it’s a win win surely…… Rangers can play in a league where they can fly the union flag without being hated for it. I know it’s been thrown back in our face by the SFL by the looks of things, but the same courtesy and humility we;ve shown them should now be afforded to the lower league clubs in England, nothing should ever be taken for granted.
It’s all very well Bill but why don’t you say what you really think lol.
As for the redestruction plans I just don’t see that it really matters whether we continue our journey to the top exactly as we are doing or if we get bounced to the top. We are a busted flush until we get full membership back and Europe is a no-no for a while yet. Whatever numbers structure emerges, I see no indication that we are going to rid ourselves of the two biggest problems in Scottish Football, Regan and Doncaster. While they are there we all going to continue to be shafted at any opportunity.
You bang on about the slimey Blofeld character but you can’t blame him for pulling strings to forward his own ends. It’s the complete eejits on the other end of the strings who are really to blame. Until they go……….
I just caught a wee bit of Charles Blue on TALKSPORT and heard him mention the possibility of playing in the English Conference League and working our way up from there. Fine by me, because it is a great exciting league and when the FA Cup comes round teams from this league quite often beat teams from the English leagues, sometimes even the great EPL teams. Better competition and people who might actually want us to play in their leagues would be great. Keep up the good fight Bill because WATP. GSOQ. Keep Scotland British.
There’s other leagues in Scotland too…
Hi Bill great post again. Big Chuck could be being cute here with the leaving Scottish football threat. He could be trying to scupper the Sky espn deal by creating uncertainty. If! and its a big if, Rangers wont be playing in Scotland next year, who the hell is going to pump significant money into the game? Nice one Chuck, keep up the good work.
WATP
ESPN have already said that if this goes ahead then they will pull out.
Rangers cant pull out next year they have to give a minimum of two years notice to the governing bodies.
“The problem is, there are no ethics in a snake pit”
Couldn’t have put it better, Bill. This for me is the over-riding problem. Others do as they see fit, too suit themselves and their agenda (Sporting Integrity), yet we are shouted down for what we perceive to be in the best interests of our club. We are damned if we do, damned it we don’t.
I firmly believe that the poison that exists now in Scottish Football will never go away, it has spread throughout the veins of the SPL/SFA, clubs, fans and now attempting to fester within the SFL. Longmuir and some of his chairmen have been hypnotized by the SPL/SFA snake – it is ready to pounce and devour.
Unfortunately David Longmuir has become the Nick Clegg of Scottish Football.
There is too much bad blood within Scottish Football, with Blofeld, Petrie,Thompson and the east end rabble being the main agitators.
So, why hang around where you’re not wanted.
This new system reminds me of the old saying :
‘If you always do what you always did then you’ll always get what you always got’
Just sayin….
Rather inclined to agree with you. The Scottish game is finished. It needs an authority that has the good of the game as its priority.
The SFA has declined to deal with the racist chanting and singing. (Guess which club the prime culprit). It has declined to take a lead in dealing with violence. (Guess which club the prime culprit). It has failed to take any meaningful action to nurture the Scottish game. It has failed to maintain and supports its members. In short it is not fit for purpose.
Because of its inadequacies perhaps we should perhaps be asking for UEFA to suspend the SFA from membership because of breaches of UEFAs own rules.
the refusal to deal with the points you make are simple. KAFFLICK’S.
what a mature response
My hands are wringing Bill! With anticipation! With the thought of metaphorically wrapping them round the throats of the opposition – of whatever level – and squeezing the life out of them…on the football pitch. totally agree with your latest thoughts and feelings.
And lets be honest, the only way the cabal of corruption could get fans in scotland to accept their ideas is for Rangers to oppose them. Anything we support is wrong. Anything we oppose is right.
And if welsh teams can play in England why cant Rangers – even the conference would be better than where we are. And as Chuck just said on talk radio, if eufa can sanction a cross border women’s league then sexual equality rules can be used to force them to accept the same for the men’s game. Bring it on.
and if we did play in england and eventually earn a european place then look at this…
Welsh clubs Swansea City and Cardiff City have been told by Uefa the only way they can qualify for Europe is by representing the English league.
Swansea and Cardiff are among six Welsh clubs in the English system and there had been uncertainty they could qualify for Europe via the English pyramid.
But both have been given assurances by European football’s governing body.
Uefa’s executive committee have ruled Welsh clubs in an English league cannot qualify for Europe via the Welsh Cup.
This means Swansea can play in Europe if they finish in the Premier League’s Europa League places.
Agree completely. That a proven liar can preside over our game and it barely raises an eyebrow tells you EVERYTHING about the scottish football environment. For the reasons i mentioned yesterday (and i probably don’t even know the half of it) the game in scotland is basically an inter-woven tapestry of dishonour, deceit, self interest, bribery, corruption and hypocrisy on a mind blowing scale. As far as this lot are concerned, the notion of integrity is consigned to the dead mists of history. It’s always more important where you finish a season rather than the start, and NEXT season Rangers will finish in a 4th tier, the bottom tier, again. Having played the same teams, again. This undoubtedly has the potential to damage season ticket income and sponsorship deals, fairness it seems, is a notion from a bygone era. The rules have changed, there aren’t any. Time to take the gloves off. Talking of liar regan, it’s been put to him what the details are for the new financial distribution model, but he refuses to divulge the details as it would be ‘inappropriate’. Why, exactly? Given he himself says finances are at the top of everyone’s agenda then why the big secret? Why keep fans in the dark when they need ‘educated’? So much for the hard sell. What happened to the bright new dawn of transparency he promised? It’s difficult to trust a liar i know but details on where the extra money is coming from would be good. Who loses the most, the spl champions? A gift from lawwell to the plebs to keep Rangers down at the nadir of the game for another season? This is just conjecture of course but in the absence of detail…. A short term ‘kop this’ while we have the chance. And it is short term, as they know Rangers will be back. It is a short term hatchet job, regan tells us himself it will be for a ‘few years’ and lawwell hints the same with his ‘the game is changing all the time’ nod and wink. Hardly ringing endorsements of the new era in scottish football, because it isn’t one, it’s nothing more than sfl street urchins fighting over blofeld’s scramble while Rangers do their time in solitary confinement. There’s one or two dissenting voices over Green on this one. I am firmly of the opinion the man is to be commended for his stance on this latest carve up. We should back the guy to the hilt.
Where is the money coming from?.Our prize money from last season they are still with holding.
Bill Bill Bill, top read, I was one of the ones that had an issue with this only because it questioned our Ally. I see what you were getting at now, I do agree I heard myself say its an adventure and I would prefer to work our way through the leagues to gain access to the top league. Having seen the reaction regards to other clubs on the reconstruction, its all about CASH not whats best for Scottish football, I now look at this venture with open eyes now. We are the cash injection in Scotland’s lower leagues not TV/Sponsors, teams this season have abused this by selling their tickets for up to £20. The SPL/SFA what us here to keep the cash flowing in the lower leagues, in the meantime keep control of the cash into Scotland ie TV/ Sponsor cash and make the 2 top leagues more elite while making it very difficult for the bottom league teams to advance. I hear other fans moaning about us moaning about not supporting the reconstruction, they all have short memories regarding a fan survey what fans want and if I remember 83% of the old firm fans supported a league of 16 or 18 top league as they were bored playing each other 4 times a season. So I say to them did you forget about this or sweep sweep because regardless what set up happens it will not effect them as they will only get a bigger slice of the pie while the bottom league is a by the way with little cash injection unless we are in it. Rangers Fans have voiced their concerns because their is more of us this probably way it looks as if we are the only ones complaining about this proposed structure but we all know this is not the case. Usual Media highlight this to make us look bad. I know a vast majority of the Fans dont want this set up just look at the fans recations and the survey’s. What I would say to D1 Chairmans if you take the cash and ignore your fans they may not turn up at your gates. Fans are the ones that pay the money at the gates so think before you leap for the cash from these corrupt Authorities. There will more meaningless games with the proposed structure and possibly no promotions for the next couple of years and who would win D1 title is it fair to award a trophy after 22 games call them Champs. You could have a this happening, the team that finished 4th in D1 finishes in the top 4 of the middle league and goes into to Top league, while the D1 Champs finish in bottom 4 and stay in the D1 its one big big joke, is this fair?????? or is it just about the CASH
Getting back to your blog it is time to destroy teams on the field of play me I wont be travelling next season to anyway grounds, if I dont make friends along the way then thats life. I would rather put what cash I have into my club and build a pot that will allow us to become a force not even the east end will challenge or get out of Scotland and leave this bitter vile teams and Authorities behind and play somewhere that welcomes us into their league not just for our cash. I want to move on but forces in Scottish football is making this almost impossible to do.
So yes if we can get out of this league and yes lets get our gloves off and give all teams a good doing so to speak. I am 100% with CG whatever he decides and the direction he thinks is best for us as up to now he has lead us well. G.S.O.Q
And the crowd went Hurrah
Totally agree! Just hope Rangers management, behind the scenes, are working furiously to cultivate massive business opportunities and advantageous future broadcasting deals, which benefit our club and our club alone! Young, bright entrepreneurs and the very best in the legal profession should be actively sought by Rangers to capitalise on the unprecedented levels of support shown by our fan base! No stones left unturned!
Where is Sky/ESPN/Foxtel in all of this? Surely we can use our tv viewing might to scupper any deal with the corrupt spl and the other traitors.
For those BEARS that are on Facebook there is an interesting radio conversation on the brilliant Super Ally RFC page regarding the Atlantic League. The conversation is between an English commentator and Dutch football expert Marcel Van der Kraan. Marcel states that there are major movements in the Belgium League and its starting to grow in the Dutch League that 4 or 5 of each of their major teams must move out of their respective leagues and join with a couple of Swedish,Norwegian teams etc and form a Super Northern European League. RANGERS were included along with maybe 2 or 3 other Scottish clubs. Van der Kraan states that Platini has opened the doors by allowing the European Championships to be held jointly in various countries at the same time.He also states that the money whilst not generate the same as the EPL it would be vastly superior to what RANGERS,Ajax,Standard Liege,Anderlecht etc receive now.
Movements are afoot BEARS!!
54 and more to FOLLOW FOLLOW…..
The cabal have not changed their agenda Bill – Their agenda is to create as much damage too, and possible forced collapse of the biggest club in Scotland – which just so happens to be the largest group opposed to the snp. If a club the size of Rangers was established in Northern Ireland, then this very same agenda and attack would probably be duplicated.
I disagree with CG publicising that we will pull out of Scottish football (if the 12-12-18 plan is accepted). We must have our own strategy to survive in the short term, If that is to accept an offer to accelerate us up the divisions then so be it – and we must have a long term strategy, which is probably to pull out of Scots football. For us to be continually at war with the associations and simultaneously with all rival clubs, will mean we will lose more battles than we win.
What I’m suggesting is that we need our fixed plan – keep a lid on that plan until it is imminent. And until that time, minimise the challenge to the authorities & our rivals.
GSOQ – WATP.
This sounds like you want a return to a dignified silence. Those days are gone we need to shout out our objections from day 1.
Not the intent at all Tam – Significant decisions such as moving country, should not be a reaction to our enemy’s bias, or this recent 12-12-18 pish. He should have reacted to that very point – possibly with the SFL option or an alternative restructure.
Stating that if you implement this or that, we’re offski – I believe is reactive, not proactive. We need our strategy fixed, long and short term – and regardless of what these clowns implement – we are confident of our future plan.
And that’s certainly not dignified silence mate.
Well said chris i could not care if we never played the 4 ever again i know where bill is coming from but i want to see the one’s who tried to kill us off suffer
I agree Bill to an extent , not all clubs are Rangers haters, most if not all of the SPhell clubs are, but most in the SFL ARE NOT.
Yes some of the SFL club are only looking after their own interest and bugger ‘everyone’ else. I have no argument with anyone looking after their own own interest, but when those interest are put there to harm Rangers. Then it’s got to be our clubs attitude from now on “if you are not with us, you are against us”
If any club votes for this corrupt cabal led anti-Rangers stitch up, then we must as supporters refuse to hand over our Blue pound to clubs who would vote to harm us.
It really has come down to this now, clubs must pick a side or an idea for reconstruction. But to have a choice our club must have counter proposals to put forward to the SFL clubs.
If our club has no counter offer how can we ask clubs to choose? what’s the alternative for the clubs? They have been offered financial incentives and possible powering sharing, our ideas could match or even surpass that along with the promise of real power nor the quisling power option the corrupt cabal will offer.
At worst what have has our club got to lose by offering more equal shares of all finances and more democracy in Scottish football. However where I think our club could be on a winner is simple offer a better league structure. to theirs plans with no 12 12 18, no 8 8 8 splits.
You’re dead right weebear – either you’re with us or you’re against us. We’re on a mission against terrorists and wmd (wankers of mass destruction). After all look at oirlund – hardly a place on the edge of world intelligence. And look at what this oirish cabal are doing, they’re imitating a structure that the Swiss imposed in the 70′s & 80′s.
Let’s get Scotland back to being Scottish – not for my sake, not for your sake, but for fuck sake.
I agree totally with the comment–“if you are not with us, you are against us” Do not buy tickets for our away game with any SFL team that votes for this.
If the 12.12.18 doesn’t work at this time next year will they Self Preservation League change it to just 2 leagues of 20.22… Thus ground hog continues…. I wouldn’t put anything past that mob…
Having heard the Kearney rant on the Best Bullshit Cabal bbc for short lets start with the facts potato famine this self same thing happened in the Highlands of Scotland as well as in Cornwall at exactly the same time, the one thing you never hear or read is the generations of people who live in these areas now carp or bleat about it since that time when the wealthy did pretty much what they liked we the rest of the population made change happen in a democratic manner where by we arrive at a much better place today and as sure as god made little green apples will be even better tomorrow when democracy will once again preveil. SH 1 T happened to the poor and is still happening to them in many parts of the world and one of the biggest and best at keeping them poor is sitting pretty in Rome and if you ever thought that that organisation hed moved into the 21st century forget it think Banko Umbrosiano scandle and Arch Villan Paul Marcinkus’s involvement there and when a Pope wanted to change it they done him in and wouldn’t even let a post mortem take place all this a few short months after they put him into office, then just to put the tin hat on it we have the cfc child abuse scandel, the rc church child abuse scandel, and the jimmy rc saville scandle involving no less an organisation than the best bullshit cabal, and kearney has the temerity to say the rc’s are being picked on. Well the plain simple truth is that this whole Rangers F.C. situation is nothing more than a smokescreen to deflect attention away from the various happenings within their own dungheap, how much more pathetic can you get than sitting on your arse and taking the British handouts in benefits then timmy boy removes said same flag from Belfast City Hall. Now we must fight as never before to preserve our heritage and culture and the only way is the right and democratic process remember to old adage of divide and conquer well we have fell into it get out polititions round the same table and instead of haveing three/four parties vieing for the Loyalist vote organise yourselves and make the Loyalist communities vote for one, next those who would sing the great songs of our forefathers don’t just sing the songs and walk away preening yourselves join the Orange Institution and live the message as well as singing about it finally continue to support with every bone in your body the Rangers Football Club and do so by keeping within the laws of the land that way we willlive the saying OUR CAUSE IS GOOD WE MUST AND WILL PREVEIL. Kepp up the good work Bill
john hunter, a man after my own heart, well said sir
Dear Sir,
agree with all that has been written, only worry, we have seen in the last 12 months a continual onslaught by the Roman on what I have viewed as the last bastion of Unionist / Christian values Glasgow Rangers Football Club PLC , I’ve previously commented this attack has been orchestarted through political and religious interlorance of the Protestant faith.
We are now witnessing the scenario, we have them down, we must keep them down, I speak for myself when I say,
Loyalty is not measured by numbers, Loyalty is measured by ones belief in your heart of what you percieve as the right for Civil and Religious Liberties for all.
Whether one man stands alone, or one hundred men stand as one, the faith will be maintained within this our land, to which the Roman will very soon grasp be it to their detriment.
To this I will defend with all my heart this our land’s history and tradition using any means necessary so my children are not ruled by Rome, irrespective of how a Roman views this our land.
Sunday 13/01/2013 Ballies Lane Airdrie, for those interested in progressing an anti separation movement.
As mentioned before us hardliners have fucking woke up.
Covenanted to God 1638.
It beggars belief how the International footballing authorities will not take the CFA and SPHell to task over this outright manipulation which is driven by a Rangers obsessed individual namely Peter ‘Pie Man’ Liewell. We do not need them, we are not obsessed with them. We have the biggest league crowd attendance and the draw the biggest tv audiences, the cabal can GTF!
I am sick and tired of people who think that Charles Green and Rangers are trying to bully the rest of Scottish football.
I for one and I do not think I am alone in this, that I would rather Rangers became a Football version of the Harlem Globetrotters for a few years than to remain in the Dead-beat Scottish game.
Rangers are the biggest team in Scotland and one of the Top teams in the whole of Britain.
Without Rangers Scottish Football would have no TV deal as no one wants to watch the boring games that the SPL produce.
I support Charles Green in trying to find a new league to join and do not want him to even attempt to take any other Scottish Clubs with us, Let the others play each other.
Rangers are not trying to bully anyone, they do not get a vote on the reconstruction of the Scottish League and not only that but we do not even get an invite to the talks.
I for one have had enough of people who think that Rangers should not be in the league, if you don’t want us then let us go, we will not miss you.
The blue pound is becoming ever more needed, it is time the fans started to withdraw it…We have a very large support, why can’t we fight together ? If we came together as a support, we could destroy any cabal, or group, that would appear to be trying to harm us..I believe we have the right man in Chuck, he appears to be fighting our corner…as a support, we must back him..
Groundhog Day is a excellent description of where the Celtic cabal would have us. It does seem that they are doing their damnest to make this a ‘dirty war’ so, if that’s the way they want it, let’s make it happen. Great blog again, Bill.
Groundhog Day was initiated in pennsylvania – I hope the timmigrants don’t put 1 & 1 together & have a threesome.
If we simply trudge back to play ‘their’ game we are simply winding the clock back a year with no change having occured in the balance of power except that we no longer have a team that can compete with Savile FC in the top flight. Surely it would be better to keep our distance and watch the teams in the top flight die one by one through an inability to finance themselves? Moreover, if we went straight back into the pit or policy of bringing on the young boys would likely be the first casualty. Frankly, I couldnt care less if we never meet the likes of Savile FC, Aberscum, Hivs or Dundee Hivs ever again.
I have to agree Chris. See qho the sponsors are for this new system when we say thats fine we will do our ground hog day, we cant compete in europe for another two seasons, Which if we sit back and bring on the youth and let the rest fight over the scraps from blofelds table will suit us fine. No signing any TV deals with the new crowd. Or maybe thats why Longmuir is there to force us into it,, hmm,,, There is an old saying “Long runs the fox” i think we should let this fox runs whilst sit by mounted and ready with the pack of hounds.
Would be a tad careful of bring on the young boys, with the east end mob about.!!
