All depends upon the tax decision - But it could be a case of - Footie people don't have to pay tax, do they Harry. They might get off.


I don't really care either way as the league was in the bag. ;-)


Show me the money, backed Celtic when 12 points behind. But then I back them most years.

Rangers have been deducted ten points by the Scottish Premier League after an administrator was appointed at the Court of Session.


The club will also be prevented from registering any new players until they exit administration, except in the case where an emergency goalkeeper is required.


Court proceedings in Edinburgh on Tuesday resulted in the appointment of Duff and Phelps as administrator.


Rangers? ten point deduction applies immediately and will see their tally reduced to 51, leaving them in second spot.


Ally McCoist?s side would be 14 points adrift of Celtic and nine points ahead of third placed Motherwell, who have a game in hand. Rangers have 12 SPL fixtures left to fulfil this season.


If the club are still in administration at the start of the 2012/13 season, they will start the campaign on minus ten points.


SPL rules forbid the club from registering any new players from this point forward. Rangers, if required, could appeal to the league to appoint an emergency goalkeeper, if they can prove one is required due to injury or illness.

Just got this as a text and thought it was funny.


Fergie's priorities


Kung Fu kick a fan = OK

Miss a Drugs test = OK

Sleep with your brothers wife for 8 years = OK

Sleep with Granny prostitutes = OK

Don't shake hands with one of his players = Ban them for life.


I hadn't actually thought about it, but it is a fair point really.

apart from the obvious Cantona one, the others aren't really relevant to the game tho, are they - personal matters when not representing the club.


The drugs test maybe, but feasibly an accident and he did serve his sentence


so that leaves the kung fu kick. Which I still have a sneaky regard for. But it wasn't "ok" - the club suspended him for 4 months

If Suarez had been a Utd. player we'd have been hearing about the stress 'the lad' had been under and the 'misunderstandings' that arose because of a clash of cultures and that, regarding the handshake, he missed or didn't see (also the Wenger take on this) Evra's hand as it had dipped out of vision and the lad's only human for God's sake and it's time to lay off him and give him a chance especially as he's apologised time and time again.

Back to real life dilemmas. I'm sad that Rangers have gone into receivership, but not so much that Portsmouth are struggling - it gives Milwall a breathing space. I know it's wrong to benefit from others' misfortunes - does that make me a really bad person?*

It was personal, but wasn't there the added complication of the England team and dressing room morale, esp with the other Man City players???

What's interesting in light of recent events is that Wayne Bridge didn't have to apologise for not shaking Terry's hand.

Exactly - I was 'quoting' what I thought Fergie would say and I think he would easily turn a late, forced apology into 'apologised time and time again'.

Maybe Alex Salmond could (for the sake of Scottish Unity and in the cause of Scottish cultural strength) help bale them out with loans/tax breaks. He could make them promise never to even think of joining the Premier league and commit their future to Glasgow as a result.


And (being as kind as possible) Portsmouth will survive, and the idea that the puddy-tats would need and gratefully grab such a 'breathing space' is the kind of delightful picture that puts a smile on the face of waifs and strays everywhere.

You are joking right? That bas*ard hates Rangers and the supporters more than the English!

He or his cronies in the SNP may say the right things "bad for Scottish football on a whole", "sad day" etc etc, but they'll be dancing a jig at the news.


I'm stunned. I can't quite believe it has happened so quickly and NOT as a direct result of the tax case rather that the fu*king con-man that is Craig Whyte hasn't paid taxes since he took over. ?9m is the figure owed since May.

PLUS the main tax bill relating to EBT's that could reach ?75m.


Maybe we'll come out of this stronger the other side, as long as we avoid liquidation, and take one or two seasons on the chin - we'll still be ahead of Celtic in league trophies!!!


I just hope the knock on effect isn't as wide as it could be and other clubs don't feel our demise in their pockets which they have the real potential too.


RTID.

SCSB shows signs of stress. No surprise there.


PGC shows signs of being the nice person that I'm sure she is. Class is permanent. Rangers will be back somehow. Celtic came through near collapse and I'm sure Rangers will come back too. As someone who only really started supporting Celtic when they were down and out, the slow rise to recovery is the best feeling in football.

What Glasgow Rangers fans are going through at the moment pales in comparison to what the Portsmouth fans have been through over the past few years. Still, I must say it is a very sad day for Scottish football. Where once it was a two horse race there is now only one team in it. Celtic may as well be handed the SPL on a plate now and for the next couple of seasons.

Otta, I have to accept Tevez is coming back. I may not be particularly happy but that's the world football lives in. We should have off loaded him 2 seasons ago-every transfer window he has been a prima donna.

On a lighter note and in reference to your Fergie post (sorry RD/Laddy Muck ! >:D<)

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
