The stewards at CP are hopeless.

They pick on the away support and young lads in the home support in an attempt to inflate their egos. In the home end if they start their rubbish and you tell them where to go they disappear with their tail between their legs.

Just folk not bright or fit enough to be police officers.

And just like black and white tv's and outside toilets you hope that they never make a 'comeback' either.

I've just noticed that Motherwell v Celtic is a 3pm KO this Saturday.

When was the last time Celtic were away at 3pm on a Saturday? It must be a while.

You love talking about them (Celtic fan I presume?). I don't blame Celtic fans talking about Rangers though. They are playing in a boring league with no competition for the League Title and no more Old Firm games. So it is boring no doubt.

How many times would breaching a procedure become systematic rule breaking?

Hopefully come christmas we'll all know what happened, who did what, who knew what and once the ramifications of that is out of the way only then can Scottish football truly move on.

Unlike the boring league where The Rangers are running away with the title already........oh wait.

Oh and you presume wrongly btw, but you have to accept that what has happened to the artists formerly known as Glasgow Rangers is the biggest thing to happen in Scottish Football so its going to be the main topic of conversation for a long long time.

Hmm, I don't think you'll get many takers for that one. No chance, mate. They WILL be back.

And I am far from a Rangers supporter.

Rangers are dead, a different club using Rangers name may be in the SPL in the future.

SFA demanding to know who has reported Stevie 'the slipper' Naismith to UEFA after disciplinary proceedings are opened over the flying elbow in the Serbia game.

The phrase used is 'seeking clarification' which in itself is rather ironic.

charles green statement

Quote:
“ He said: "Lord Nimmo Smith, chairman of the Commission set up by the SPL, has highlighted an extremely important issue in his recent judgement regarding the Commission.
"Lord Nimmo Smith has said that Rangers FC is a recognisable entity which continued in existence notwithstanding the change in ownership.
"He also stated that Rangers FC, the club, includes its owner and operator. The Commission has in effect ruled that Rangers and its history did not die on 14 June despite numerous reports to the contrary.
"This means that Rangers FC and its owner, i.e. me and my consortium, remained a member of the SPL even after the change of ownership.
"The bemusing part is that no-one at the SPL or SFA appeared to realise that. The SPL made the club (including its owner and operator) reapply to be a member of a league that the Commission says it was in already.
"If the Commission is right then the change of ownership was frankly irrelevant to SPL status. Nevertheless we duly applied and that application was rejected.
"We were also informed by the SFA that Rangers FC had never in its long existence been a member. That really left us scratching our heads because pride of place in the Boardroom at Ibrox is a framed and mounted certificate of membership signed by Jim Farry confirming that "Rangers FC is a full member of the Scottish Football Association".
"So taking the Commission's reasoning and our newly acquired framed membership certificate you would have thought, not unreasonably, that Rangers FC and its owners were in the Scottish Football family.
"You would have thought wrong. No we were told. We needed to apply for oldco's membership! The SFA didn't officially recognise Lord Nimmo Smith's recognisable entity.
"That recognisable entity, Rangers FC, then re-appeared suddenly when the SFA demanded that we pay oldco's debts despite there being no legal obligation to do so.
"The SPL then wanted Rangers FC and its new owners to admit guilt in relation to EBT breaches that had never been framed and accept five stripped titles.
"Rangers FC suddenly vanished again when UEFA informed the SFA that Rangers FC were due in excess of 300,000 euros for player participation in the Euro 2012 qualifiers, the SFA have refused to confirm that the monies are due to Rangers FC despite obligations placed on them from UEFA that these monies should be distributed to member clubs.
"If the Commission is correct about this recognisable entity then the SPL and SFA must be wrong in making that entity apply to join bodies it was already in.
"Maybe they should both appoint Lord Nimmo Smith to form a Commission to investigate and tell them who their member is.
"In our view the Commission chaired by Lord Nimmo Smith has been placed in an invidious position by the SPL.
"The establishment of the Commission is the most striking example of the chaotic way the fate of Rangers has been handled by the football authorities.
"As we stated previously, it is impossible for us as a club to participate in a process we firmly believe is fundamentally misconceived.
"We believe that most people would not think it right that a football authority that was willing to horse-trade league titles and cups for league status, should then embark on the course of action it has chosen in setting up a Commission. There is no clearer case of moving the goalposts."”

Which nail is Green apparently hitting here?

Nimmo Smith never said the SFA and SPL were wrong over the transfer of membership.

Green continues to cloud the issue when all he has to do is produce the EVIDENCE that Rangers FC from 2000-2011 did not improperly register any players.

If that evidence is forthcoming then the matter is closed and the titles are kept.

It was Green himself who once said in the event a CVA wasn't agreed "the history, the tradition, everything that's great about this club is swept aside"

Now he criticises those who believed him
