So it's really just blue then?
Aye, and the first team strip is really just yellowish-brown and maroon.
-
My opinion of Petrol Blue is that it would have that kinda rainbow affect, that you get in Petrol, mixed in blue and a bit greenish aswell. I Imagine that is impossable to get into a strip.
Nounpetrol blue
(UK) a greyish blue colour, tinted with green.

I was thinking we could swap it for some marbles.
-
If that's the case, then presumably the opposition fans know we are Scottish without the need for a kilt.
I don't care one way or the other, but you I'll bet you don't see Turkish or Ukranian or Greek fans turning up at Fir Par in their national costumes.

I'll be looking for someone to take over this site if we officially back a NEWCO as well... any takers? Only diehard true 'well fans need apply (aka the ones that don't care about the integrity of our game)
If you lend me 200 quid, I'll buy it off you for... say, 200 quid?

Interesting analysis on how the SPL would fare without Rangers.
-
Celtic its transpired have used EBT in the past and sorted it out with HMRC and the SFA , no punishment for dual contracts there at the time.
There is nothing unlawful about using EBTs. It's *how* Rangers used them that is questionable.
-
I can assure you, he does and is very, very particular about it.
It is Stuart who wants to communicate with our supporters and to be as transparent as possible which is a very fresh approach which fans seem to appreciate.
Cheers

Telt !

Am I the only one that doesn't think he writes these emails?!?
I don't know if he actually writes them - I'm sure they are managed by various parties at the club. I'd hope, however, that they are based somewhat on his input.
-
Don't agree with everything he's said, but still a huge 'well played' to McCall for that e-mail. It would have been easy to simply ignore the concerns raised by fans and wait for it to blow over, but I've been constantly impressed with our gaffer's desire to communicate thoroughly with the fans.
Agree with that. Like you, there are still things in there I disagree with, but not surprised to read that a tabloid has taken an old interview out of context to grab some headlines.
Fair play to the guy for being up front with the fans.
-
The SPL bottled it as we all knew they would, they were shit scared of upsetting the blue ugly sister...sporting integrity...they are having a laugh. So the message is clear Lie, cheat, dont pay your tax on time, spend other peoples money, and run your club not giving a toss about other teams..but dont worry when it all goes pear shaped, just ditch the old club and all your debts and we will welcome you back as a newco, with no punishment.
They should hang their heads in shame, To paraphrase Burns "bought and sold for TV and comercial gold, such a parcel of rouges in an organisation"
It's only fixed punishments they don't want; they haven't advocated 'no punishment'. You might be right, but it could be they want to punish Rangers with a bigger penalty than a club that has honest financial issues.
-
What we need to face up to as a support, despite the excited chatter on P&B about Ranges being dead in the water, is that almost every party in Scotland with a financial interest in the SPL will ultimately bend over and the buns will get through all this relatively unscathed.
That's unfortunately true. Players and managers in the SPL aren't going to want to see their wages cut, which is the likely consequence of kicking out Rangers. While the fans from most clubs want to see the sporting integrity of the league upheld, even at the expense of available playing budgets, the employees of the league obviously want to protect their income.
-
Did the club ask you for a reason for canciling?
Not that I'm considering it, but are you even allowed to cancel? I thought signing up commited you for the year, so if you cancelled your credit card/direct debit or whatever, you'll still owe.
-
It looks a bit end game to me, they're running out of options.
The SFA can't blink, surely.
Not after the appeal panel included Lord Carloway (you'd hope). And their report was pretty detailed and damning.
-
From The Herald's article
However, taking on the SFA in court would be fraught with difficulties. The process would be expensive and potentially time-consuming, and it may have little chance of success. When Rangers were fined £160,000 and banned from registering any player older than 18 for 12 months – as punishments for Whyte and the club bringing the game into disrepute – they lost an appeal to the SFA. A three-man tribunal including Lord Carloway ruled the sanction was "proportionate to the breach, dissuasive to others, and effective in the context of serious misconduct".Any legal challenge could have wider repercussions. In January, football's world ruling body, FIFA, threatened to ban the Swiss Football Association if it failed to impose a transfer ban on FC Sion. The club had been put under a transfer embargo but signed players anyway and when UEFA expelled them from the Europa League, they took the case to court. Neither FIFA nor UEFA approve of member clubs taking on their national association in court.
If the court rules it illegal, I'm not sure what the SFA can do (as I recall, Sion lost their court case). However, it looks more like Rangers are trying to bend the rules and have a temporary uplifting of the ban so they can sign players over the summer.
-
Taking the SFA to court, putting our CL spot under threat.
Let them die.
BBC web site says it's just the transfer ban they are trying to overturn.
-
Possibly being overly optimistic, but it sounds like a deal is all but done with Lasley perhaps?
I read some quotes from Lasley earlier in the week where he seemed he was ready to sign his deal once 'a few small details' were finalized.
-
Think a left footed centre half would be a very useful signing, and if we have to bring in another central midfielder to keep Hateley out of there then so be it [/color][/size][/font]
Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned, but does it matter that your a left footer when you're playing in the centre of defence?
-
As McCall has said on a few occasions, the Board told him they expected to sell one player as season. The 200k shortfall would appear to be largely down to our lack of selling this season.
-
I think both of them had a horendous mistake in them due to pop out at anytime
Of course. Otherwise they would be playing for a big team.

So that's what petrol blue looks like.
I'm liking it.

Think i'll give this thread a miss. We can spend all summer long like 2 Jack Russels chasing the one ball.
Maybe we've been spoiled in the past with good front men at the Ark i.e Jutkiewiz and MacDonald etc but i'll finish with hopefully we'll one day sign another who can run,jump,shoot and maybe not get rid of the ball like it's a hot tattie. Happy hols everyone. 
Aye, it's a bummer having to settle for a Champions League spot this season.

Then let Killie & Hearts vote in favour of a NEWCO. All I'm looking for is some positive action from my club, something that suggests to me that they actually give a fuck about what their fanbase has to say on the matter.
Seeing as there isn't even anything to vote on, I doubt you'll be hearing anything any time soon.

Games against accies are generally the worst game you can put yourself through. If it's sunny fair enough though.
They have been recently, but in the old first division days, they could be good.
Straight Question To The Board Of Mfc Re. Rangers Newco

What if they are voted in, but with penalties, or voting structure changes or distribution of TV money changes?
It's unlikely to be as simple as In or Out.
