oops 3-0 Germany for the trophy here I think

ah......2-0 Spain should step up a gear now I would have thought

Ireland are crap , but Spain are not world beaters based on this game so far

this is a direct C&P from soemwhere else, but interesting take on the Ranger scanrio " his has been a remarkable day, which could change Scottish football forever, but any celebrations are premature. Many had hoped for Rangers' liquidation but I suspect most privately believed that the club would somehow get away with it. t all depends how quickly BDO (HMRC's liquidators) are officially appointed and whether they deem Green's bid for the assets a fit and proper one. Bear in mind that not many folk will be offering ?5.5 million for assets consisting of a football stadium in largely valueless (and potentially contaminated) land, a training facility which Sport Scotland have first dibs on. The players are all now free to leave for nothing. Charles Green has been talking complete drivel about TUPE law- he's been trying to claim that the liquidated Rangers squad will automatically transfer to his newco. This is garbage. the players have no such obligation. Green is an obvious carpetbagger and it is remarkable that someone with such a tenuous grasp of business law has talked his way into a position as a would-be "saviour" of Rangers. The stuff about simply transferring contractual agreements to a newco is surely fantasy-players are in it for themselves and will want to maximise their income rather than take a gamble on possibly ending up in Div 3 on vastly reduced wages. How BDO act as soon as they take control will be criticial with regard to the assets. Duff and Phelps (the bizarre Craig Whyte appointed Rangers) and Green will clearly have a well worked out scenario for a NewCo. Indeed it could be argued that their actions have actively encouraged such a scenario. Now that we're in the NewCo situation these plans will already be rolling. Green will be aware that Rangers' court action (where the Buns took the SFA to the Court of Session over a tribunal ruling which slapped a 12 month transfer ban on them) has hugely annoyed fellow SPL chairmen and I suspect a hectic round of shuttle diplomacy lies ahead of Green this weekend. D&P, for their part, will possibly be having a quiet glass of champagne. they can legitimately present themselves as having "tried their best" and will shortly walk away from the whole catastrophic trainwreck millions richer- and perhaps only slightly worried about the nature of BDO's forensic investigation. If the SPL don't demote Rangers now, they never will. The vote is very uncertain. The Dundee United and Hibs chairmen seem likely to vote no, who knows which way Vlad and the Lithuanians will go, let alone Celtic. Celtic are now in an impossible position here- piss off their fans, or badly damage their income streams. I suspect that they will see which way the debate is going before finally deciding. St. Mirren are also a doubt, whilst the intentions of the two Highland clubs are very uncertain. OldCo Rangers can have a vote in this process. It is bizarre to say the least. It's pretty obvious that Kille and St. Johnstone have resolved to vote Yes, sadly, although Sky's reassurance that they will not withdraw from Scottish football if Rangers really have kicked their last ball may weaken their seemingly resolved positions. Where do Rangers go from here? Although the OldCo is now on the mortuary slab they still have a few canny moves ahead- some more emollient press, some negotiation with SPL counterparts, and hopefully (for them) a favourable vote on Monday. Nothing's decided until then, remarkable as today's events have been. I think there is enough doubt amongst enough SPL chairmen to stymy Rangers in the coming vote. Then we're in the state where a NewCo has to apply for SFL3 and I think there's little doubt how that would go. I wonder if the likes of Spartans would even bother applying if a viable newco was in the hunt for the place. There is some doubt about that too, with the possibility of multiple "new Rangers" emerging in the weeks ahead, if the SPL vote goes against them. Rangers fans opinion is hardening somewhat against Green and there are rumours of further "investors" not connected with Green's "consortium" planning to outbid him for Ibrox and Murray Park, Rangers training complex in Milngavie. Green is briefing the press that the transfer of the assets for ?5.5 million to what appears a rather cloudy "consortium" is a formality- it's no such thing. The assets must be auctioned off by the liquidators and who knows what that will smoke out from dark corners of the Scottish business world. Incidentally, Murray Park is as valueless as Ibrox in terms of housing/retail/industrial development. The complex is on a flood plain and is also on green belt land, so you can forget about building anything on it. Plus, legally, SportScotland, who helped to fund the complex, have first dibs on it in the event of Rangers going under, at a cost (I believe) of ?4million. With old Rangers liquidated, the outcome of the Big Tax Case (that could see Rangers liable for a further ?75million to HMRC), SFA appellate tribunals (who, after the Court of Session referred the matter of Rangers' punishment back, having struck down the transfer ban, now seem to be faced with a choice of suspension or expulsion, with FIFA and UEFA watching closely) and an SPL enquiry still to come into the matter of dual contracts and potentially illegal payments to players, are all still pending. However as yet it is not clear if a new company will be liable for the sins of the old- I suspect not. This saga has been rumbling on for well over a year now and today's news is far from the end, but maybe the end of the beginning. Crunch time has been reached and there is nowhere for the SPL to hide anymore. They have to make a decision on Monday or risk becoming even more of a laughing stock, if that's possible. Two other points: 1. Rangers will never play in England, even if the English wanted them. UEFA will never sanction such a move. Talk of the Old Firm playing in England is just fantasy for that reason and a waste of time. Though, ironically, Rangers and Celtic have both had once-a-season-borefests about needing to go down south for their own good- now, with Rangers at the very brink of extinction, apparently their demise will "irreparably damage Scottish football". Aye, right. 2. Those complaining at people "revelling" in the demise of Rangers and saying it's not on- clearly you've never spent a Saturday afternoon in a small Scottish town where the local SFL club has to subsist on sub 1,000 gates, whilst coachloads of local gloryhunters leave for Ibrox and Parkhead. The OF are an absolute cancer on Scottish football. The greed of the Old Firm, their leading role in establishing the absolutely disastrous SPL at the end of the 1990s (with ten willing accomplices- Scottish's football's ills can't all be blamed on the OF), their self-obsession and avarice with regard to TV money, the torn faced "bit wir a gloabil braaaaaaaannd" arseholes (no one in England cares about the OF anymore, let alone anywhere else- that ship has sailed) the sycophantic "succulent lamb" journalists that choke the Glasgow media, the open contempt that Rangers in particular have had for every other club in Scotland- well, karma's a bitch. I'm not jumping about my room at Rangers demise, I'm certainly not going to waste my time mourning their passing, either- if that's what is to happen. "

Just to update on procedings so far : Most of the Worlds gold is actually titanium Iran plan to destabilise the world oil markets by setting up a new Oil exchange that will only trade in Euros Fractional reserve banking is the blame for most things ( apart from the Jews stuff, see below) OJ simpson was framed by the US Government becasue of his groundbreaking role in the film Capricorn One, where he exposed the lie of the Moon landings The Jews did most of the bad things in history The Bilderberg group runs the world Flouridation is part of the conspiracy for global domination A packet of Marlboros has secret signs hidden to show it allegience to White Power & the KKK William Rose sre actually very good value butchers and well worth the queue

actually, I think I stumbled into someone I was do seem to passively provoke, not so long ago. He was reasonable in real life. I dont think he was aware though.

So troll is the new buzz word on the EDF it would seem. sometimes this forum is like living in Middlesboro - about 10 years behind the rest of the civilised world

Would you speak to a random on the street in the same way you post on here ? 95% of the time its a negative, though the unhinged/ ripped to the tits element does skew these numbers

France showed more promise, but wre slighly off form I think. Lucky for INGERLAND to draw them early on I think Ukraine vs INGERLAND will be a stonker Sweden will draw with INGERLAND btw Scotland beat the France twice, but I had to admit that the Scots were on the defence for most of the game

many macho types really hate being spoken to on such terms by women. He is obviously an idiot though - he threatens you, yet you know where he lives and what shitbox he drives - a moron

bludz, quit yer job and go travelling or teach english abroad - be yourself - you will meet lots of gurls

its an interesting take on class and perspectives of class, whether its true or not. Its worth watching
