    Your retorts today have been doubly so.

    And inaccurate in part.

    Why the upset? 'Yooz pyoor wun n'at, no?'.

    Was it Nimmo Smith who gave Walter Smith his dignity, they seem to be from the
    one sow's litter to me. Nobody can say today's fiasco was a surprise. Maybe just
    A little that Oldco were found guilty of so much. I am sure Derrick Nimmo was
    Been very careful and exact when he said all the Rangers players that had only
    Part of their registration lodged with the SPL didn't mean Rangers got any
    advantage. I am inclined to agree with Nimmo on that point. However it takes
    someone with a close understanding of Rangers and Scottish football to appreciate
    that. Step forward ex Ranger Co. Sec and currently Rangers protector and boss of
    SFA, Cambell Og, he explained to Nimmo that it was inconceivable that Rangers
    would seek to gain an advantage by incomplete registration , as they had the
    referees and their assistants giving them every advantage they needed.
    Nimmo, sought advice from the dignity part of the family who backed up
    Cambell Og and said David Murray never put a foot wrong. Lord Nimmo
    Decided the succulent lamb was the best he ever tasted and fined Oldco,
    Knowing full well it will never be paid.
    A mastery demonstration how football and life behaves in Scotland.

    There is very little incentive in running football
    In Scotland. An under 14 team banned for season for having
    One player incorrectly registered and rangers have scores
    Illegally and no problem.

    Sigh. They didn't disclose the side letters. Rule broken. Fined for it. The players were still eligible to play. Titles won fair and square. Sorry.

    Ye'd think the rangers were out of administration/looming liquidation and promoted to the SPL the way some fans are carrying on.

    They're not.

    They're still dead and have been found guilty of cheating and fined.

    It's kinda like having icing on your cake but being without the sparkly candles - it still tastes delicious :grin:

    It's mental

    You're only eligible if you are registered

    You are registered because you hid your ineligibility

    If you are registered you cannot be ineligible

    Like I said, cheated. And if you did indeed read the link I posted and read it without your blue specks on, you'd see it's on a technicality(the SPL/SFL **** up) that ruled the eligibility not to be a problem.

    If you see that as a victory of any kind, well, <laugh>

    That's about the size of it. Shows them up for the sham they are, again.

    No really, it's an irrelevance Gambol. How can you punish a team that's no longer on the go? The team in div 3 is a tribute act.

    That's how senseless the findings are, even if the title stripping was granted, there's nothing other than bragging rights for either oldco or any opposition fans. At the end of the day, it doesn't change anything. It reinforces how ****ed up and inadequate the footballing authorities are in our wee country, that's all.

    Not even you believe that, nev.

    The whole thing's a disaster for Scottish football.

    Neither do I hold your desperate need for Rangers to have cheated against you.

    We did get fined though <grr>
