does dignity win you trophies? is mourinho dignified? look what that **** has won. **** dignity. it means **** all.
But dignity was a word that Rangers fans cherished as they continually applied it to their club. I'm just wondering why it was so important a concept for Rangers fans, even although the reality was somewhat different.
Fuck knows where this whole dignity thing came from. Just another way for the pricks to think they're superior to everyone else (WATP). Don't look so ****ing superior now.
Dunfermline Athletic have expressed extreme concern with the expected loss of £80,0000 in gate receipts they are due from Rangers but have indicated they will cope with the setback. The Fife club, who were forced to close a section of East End Park earlier this season to offset the increased running costs of promotion from the first division, released a statement yesterday conveying their sympathy for the situation at Ibrox. Dunfermline are owed the money after hosting the SPL champions last Saturday, a match they lost 4-1. Club officials have accepted they are unlikely to see the money owed but are confident they can deal with the financial implications. Dunfermline, who asked players to take pay cuts of up to 30% in 2004 to fend off administration, closed their north stand in November to save an estimated £20,000 per season. The statement read: "All of the board of DAFC would like to express their concern and shock that a giant football club such as Rangers FC has gone into administration. However, the direct impact to DAFC is not insignificant: Rangers FC are due DAFC in the region of £80,000 of gate receipts from Saturday's fixture which is of extreme concern. This payment is no longer expected to be received by next Tuesday which would have been due to the club. "This is a significant amount of money for a club such as DAFC to lose, especially after losing £50,000 due to our game against Kilmarnock being postponed. It will create challenges for us in the coming months but these challenges are not insurmountable. DAFC and the board of directors already have put in place a number of initiatives to raise additional capital to ensure the club balances its books and has an ongoing programme to reduce costs. To date, that programme has already made a meaningful saving for the club by reducing staff, policing, stewarding, fuel and telephony costs and we have made a small trading profit up to the end of January. As at today's date, DAFC are due only £44,000 to HMRC." Meanwhile, the Swedish club GAIS, who are owed £250,000 for the transfer of Mervan Celik, say they have heard nothing from Rangers since Monday morning.
It always makes me laugh when they come out with WATP and exude their triumphalism when it is not borne out by the evidence of Celtic being the only Scottish team to have triumphed at the highest level of European Club football which for all of Rangers 140 years is quite simply: THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT IN SCOTTISH FOOTBALL BAR NONE
