    Love the disrespect shown to other teams... is that a rangers mentality? WATP and all that ****e!

    Now, I get the League is an easier win without a strong Rangers ... last 20 years it's been Celtic or Rangers ...

    However, this easiest Treble pish <doh>

    So, no other team hasn't won the Scottish or League cups in the past 20 year or has ever put up a challenge ...

    **** off!

    Any league they don't win is "tainted" - the reasons can be downright hilarious sometimes.

    The easiest treble ever would've been the second highest spending team in the country winning the lowest division, the Ramsden's and the League Cup.

    We beat Barcelona, got to the last 16 and won the double - but the Huns think it was a failure because we lost one game against St Mirren <laugh>

    The more Huns calls it easy or tainted, the sweeter it is.

    <cheers>

    Disrespect to other teams? What teams? Did you not win the SPL by a significant margin? Which team "stepped up to the plate"?

    Am no calling anything tainted. I said it was the easiest two trebles in the history of top flight Scottish football missed. Ye had zero competition. How big was the points margin at the end up?

    You've made me hungry!

    I said the League is an easier win ... however, to say that it's the easiest treble out is a load of ****in pish!

    Using hun logic, Celtic (and when Rangers were in the SPL) should win the treble every year - no questions asked.

    Get to ****!

    Celtic played 60 games this season ... but they ****ed it by not winning a League Cup <doh>

    When both Rangers & Celtic when in the SPL the treble was an achievement.

    Rangers are not there, no **** else is "stepping up to the plate", so where is the competition to deny you the treble?

    So, this has never happened? In the cups... no other team has ever stepped up performance in the cups against Celtic or Rangers?

    Cup competitions are different from the League ... each round is a one off game. It's got **** all to do with League performance...

    So we are getting beat off wee teams more often and failing to get a treble = Noone stepping up?

    Not stepping up is dropping points to 4th tier teams or needing penalties and red cards in your favour to beat most of them despite having a squad of international players

    2nd contracts - Guilty. Oldco Rangers fined
    Big taxcase - HMRC Appeal Pending
    Playing trialists - SFA to stop it

    the big tax case was the biggest disappointment to all of Timdom since the potato crop failed in Ireland.

    Remember when you got pumped out of 4 euro cups in a little over two years? And wee Lenny holds the record of being knocked out the same euro cups in one season!

    no one seemed to bother when the other teams were doing it, strange. I'm sure there was another incident when rules were being made or adjusted to suit a situation rangers were in?... Nah, I must be mistaken because we all know that the sfa/spl/sfl all bend over backwards to help us.

    Aye, I was distraught when Rangers got away with it and nothing happened to them except ending up in the hands of Craig Whyte, going into administration, being humped sideways by everyone then getting pumped down to the 3rd division while half your squad walked away for pennies.

    Devastated so ah wis <wah>

    4 Cups in two seasons and 4 Cups in one season (when it was of major import for Rangers to qualify for Europe in order to stave off Liquidation). Bit of a large difference there (and some random whataboutery) I would have said?

    No one seemed to bother about what Chapper? 2nd Contracts, shafing HMRC and myriad other creditors or just playing trialists? Many clubs have indeed played "Trialists" and no doubt some of said trialists were already under contract, but 2 wrongs don't make a right and playing trialists - who are already under contract with that club - is a loophole which should have been closed long ago. You seem to think it's only being closed to spite Rangers.

    As for your final point, are you suggesting that the SFA/SPL/SFL did not bend over backwards to help Rangers?
