Yes, because no side ever strengthens its squad prior to the new season., does it...? Jesus Wept, are these witless timbos for real?

Not particularly. We've beaten Hibs twice and once was a pumping at Easter Road. It's still relatively early days for us - we're still a work in progress.

If you can afford to spend. You still need loans to afford to stay in business till May.

If you can't win the big games that must be a worry.

That is what we are constantly told.

Should have been a draw. Still effectively 6 points clear anyway so not much of a worry.

That must be why we had 60 per cent possession, for example.

It has been Tampax Time for Aberdeen recently.

My mate was saying that on AFC-Chat they are saying that Jack and Logan have had a massive falling out.

Lots of rumours about. We could easily have lost 5 or more goals in virtually all of our last six matches.

Usually I'd say all of the rumours are crap but it looks like that something has happened behind the scenes. Half of our team don't look interested, the other half have lost form with the exception of Ward. Strange player selections, players missing due sickness etc recently.

McInnes will be starting to feel the pressure now so it'll be interesting to see if he can turn it around. He's lost more games domestically in the last month than Deila has lost in the last year.

He's not long signed a big contract.

I think it would be mad to even think about binning him but how long do you get these days? If we lose the next 3 games without much of a fight then you do need to wonder.

Imo our squad is easily the second best in the league but without Danny Ward I dread to think where we would be.

If you were to fall 6-8 points behind Hearts then I think the board would have a decision to make considering your start to the season.

Bitton signs a contract extension taking him up until 2020.

Fairly increases his value for when he is sold.

Just announced losses at almost 50% of turnover despite slashing costs, ongoing court cases to do with fraud and the taking over of the 'clumpany', running out of money next month and needing loans to last until the end of the season but Ra Berrs will be spending millyuns in the close season.

Spent £23.5m not to get out of the second tier of Scottish football!

HRMC win appeal on the big tax case.

How many titles did the club known as Rangers win while they they were cheating the tax man?

Four titles, four Scottish Cups, and five League Cups. Though you might want to include the trophies they won when Dick Advocaat was in charge as well, since IIRC it was the absurd amounts of money they spent under him that drove them into using EBTs.

This ruling shouldn't actually affect the club, since the current incarnation can't be held liable for pre-2012 debts and the powers that be have already ruled they won't have any titles expunged, but I imagine a lot of people who worked under Murray's regime are going to be sweating now.

Are the players liable to pay tax now or not?

I think all eyes are on the SFA. Those trophies won need to be looked at. They were no doubt hoping this went the other way.

“Furthermore, so far as the footballers are concerned, at least, it seems to us that if bonuses had not been paid they might well have taken their services elsewhere”

A damning quote.

I just don’t understand how the previous ruling from Ninno Smith came about when he said "Rangers FC did not gain any unfair competitive advantage from the contraventions of the SPL Rules in failing to make proper disclosure of the side-letter arrangements"

Exactly how he came to that conclusion I do not know.

I think I will listen to SSB tonight just for the laughs.

Those figures are for the year ending 30th June.

LNS ruled the player registrations were improper nor whether EBTs were legal

Today's ruling is legally higher than LNS and deems them to be illegal, also that the players may well have taken their services elsewhere had it not been for EBTs. (Unfair advantage?)

Dark times at Sevco Park, Glib and Shameless liar being taken to court, pumped by Hibs, posting losses of £7.5million and announcing they need money to be loaned to them or they won't survive the season and the Club most of them claim are the same as Sevco found to have commited some of the worst tax cheating in the history of Scotland bringing shame and embarrassment to the support who parade soldiers, poppies and photos and scarves of the queen like brain washed nuggets whilst robbing said people of £50million odd and causing who knows how many under equiped soldiers to snuff it.
