The fleggers and Britain First types have managed to push it out of fashion. Once the rabble start getting all over-enthusiastic about something it's time for intelligentsia to look down upon it as tawdry.
 
Once the taig figures out an angle to get offended over it, their polar opposites in British society then get overly excited, then the lilly livered lefties then get engrossed in the political meanings etc...

It's getting to the stage where the West have went so long without any major disasters, wars, famines that we've reached the stage where the most benign actions are getting the under-utilised masses all hot and bovvered.

I'll wear a poppy because my granda was captured in Burma and held hostage for a year. Nothing to do with WW2, he was Gary Glitter's limo driver.

RANGERS annual report shows the club is still hemorrhaging cash and states the company "require up to £2.5m by way of debt or equity funding" by the end of season to meet liabilities.
  • RANGERS annual report shows the club is still hemorrhaging cash and states the company "require up to £2.5m by way of debt or equity funding" by the end of season to meet liabilities.
Rangers accounts show they lost £7.5m in last year
RANGERS have revealed that they lost a staggering £7.5m in the past year.

The club's annual report highlighted the loss a year after they lost £8.1m. Turnover for the year was £16.5m while operating expenses came to more than £26m.

Worryingly for Gers fans the report states the company "require up to £2.5m by way of debt or equity funding" by the end of season to meet liabilities.

It adds: "The forecast indicates that an initial tranche of funds will be required in December 2015".

Gers chairman Dave King lied: “It must be remembered these figures are for the financial year which ended in June this year leaving no time for the changes implemented by the new Board, which took over in March, to impact on them.

“The year under review was a difficult one both on and off the field but Rangers supporters and investors can be assured that significant inroads have already been made on a number of fronts.

“A new football management team of Mark Warburton and David Weir is now in place and the team is performing extremely well on the pitch, staffing levels are improving at Ibrox and Auchenhowie, and there is once again a genuine belief that the club faces a much brighter future.


“The year under way is already much more promising on all fronts and I look forward to this time next year when I can comment on a financial year that is wholly under the influence and guidance of the new board.

“For the first time in many years we should now be able to move forward in a constructive manner.”

A judgement from the Judiciary of Scotland this morning stated the Employee Benefit Trust scheme operated by Sir David Murray between 2001 and 2010 was “subject to income tax”.

The Bigoted Broad Casting corporation of Scotland just can't help them selves when it comes to trying to tarnish the good name of Rangers.


I think we might be ****ed on this one, as Lord Carloway, he of famine song fame, is on the panel.

THE outcome of the Big Tax Case hearing this week will have no impact financially on Rangers going forward. For all the issues the new board have to contend with at Ibrox just now, this is not one of them.
There has been talk in some quarters already about other penalties that could be handed down to the club. Any discussion, any notion of title stripping is nonsense, though.
The honours Rangers won during the years that EBTs were in use have to remain with the club and the board will defend Rangers against any move to remove them from our list of achievements.
Those SPL titles, the Scottish Cups and the League Cups that Rangers won during that time were won fairly and squarely on the park.
When the first two cases went against HMRC, there wasn’t an outcry. Now, this one is different and everyone is coming out to have a go again.

Rangers are adamant that no titles will be taken from them and that we will keep all the championships and cups that we won during that period.

It doesn't matter what a player earns, it is about what they do on the pitch. In the years Rangers won the league and won the cups, they were the best team and deserved to win them. There is no outcry over the seasons when we didn’t win anything.
Money can’t buy you success. You have to do it on the park. There are a lot of teams that have spent huge amounts of money and not had any success.

Those honours were won and earned through the efforts of the players, not because of what or how they were paid.

There will be people who are up in arms and demanding that they should have their medals taken off them. It is absolute rubbish.

The EBT verdict this week attracted a lot of headlines and sparked a lot of debate and it is an issue that has been ongoing for years. It is the future that is most important, though, and there is nothing that can happen to Rangers. It is all about David Murray and BDO, the liquidators of the oldco.

When this case was brought up at first, it went against HMRC, then it went to an appeal and it went against HMRC again. Now we have a third hearing and it goes for HMRC. That is what will baffle a lot of people. How can two cases go against HMRC and then the third one, with the same details put forward, goes in their favour?

Derek Johnstone is clearly a spastic. How huns struggle to grasp that the use of EBTs allowed them to sign players who were out of their budget is a wonder.

"...there is no outcry over the seasons when we didn't win anything..."

Magic Hat leaving Rangers before the project is over will never happen.

Mark Warburton was written into history, as the modern true Rangers class manager - to find us in our hour of need to take us back to where we belong and propel us back into greatness forever, with the foundations Magic Hat has put in place.

Like the Bill Struth quote excerpt:

"Never fear, inevitably we shall have our years of failure, and when they arrive, we must reveal tolerance and sanity. No matter the days of anxiety that come our way, we shall emerge stronger because of the trials to be overcome. That has been the philosophy of the Rangers since the days of the gallant pioneers."

I feel like this whole thing has been some sort of prophecy, destined to make us greater than we were before it, which we are going to become under Mark Warburton. The situation helped us find the true best Rangers class manager(s) in the world MW+DW, and also helped us unearth a true Rangers class captain too Lee Wallace, who has all the honour and class of former RFC captains such as Richard Gough, like MW too.

These are the best 2 men in the entire world who could have been chosen as our manager and captain, and it feels like a prophecy for them to lead us back to greatness, which they are going to. We will definitely emerge stronger from this situation than we were before it, especially with MW at the helm. It feels like a prophecy for our club for Magic hat to lead us to 55 and start the Rangers Dynasty in Scotland, with all of the foundations he is putting in place especially Murray Park and his philosophy.
