When should sporting integrity not be a consideration?

    If you take away the financial punishments for the EBT case, if they lose it, won't it be like £80-90m debt accumulated over about 10 seasons - as in an advantage over Celtic of about £9m a season?

    This isn't money that someone has made up, it's money that Rangers have spent somewhere along the line, while winning titles.

    I think that is the crime most fitting a heavy and very real punishment should they be found guilty (which I suspect we all know they will).

    If it's true that 73 players had illiicit EBTs and/or Dual contracts then the whole house of cards will tumble and then we will see which Chairmen have real principles. Football is supposed to be about "Sport" and not money. Sadly money is important for football to thrive but sporting ethics are the most important thing, if we discard them then the game's a bogey anyway.

    In my opinion it is money that has killed Scottish Football and possibly sport throughout

    Does anyone else prefer Olympic Boxing to the coin chasing professional game?

    Integrity over finance every time

    Did anyone see the thing the other day, boxing, with David Hay and that other guy? They had a fence between them and were 'trash talking' eachother.

    It's so like WWE. I remember when boxing was a real man's game.

    that was pathetic, It's all to sell tickets. Haye is an expert at selling tickets. They've sold about 20,000 already. I think Chisora will take him <ok>

    True, but they fight up to 5 times in a week rather than a few times a year.

    So imagine how tough those olympic boxers are - 5 bouts of three rounds getting punched time after time in and around the helmet area. <yikes>

    They used to call me Rembrandt when I boxed.

    I was always on the canvas.

    Trevor you say Haye is an expert at selling tickets, 20,000 sold already.

    Trevor he is not a patch on your man, Whyte, he sold 20,000 by about 20(per season) for something like 3 seasons and now there won't
    be anyone to play.
