Re: SKD and diving

Ok at the weekend we saw quite a few bookings for diving notably torres getting redcarded for diving and it made me think about out kev, sadly he does go down easily far too easily alot of the time and while he gains us the odd freekick its often waved away as a dive of some sort by the ref but now...

Re: Now he's gone, who's next?

Anyway, Billy Davies for me, followed by this Hill fella. I'd take McCarthy, think he's better than he's been given credit for, and same goes for Schteve.

Re: Now he's gone, who's next?

I don't think we'd get him, but Di Canio is very much in the mould I am looking for. I hate to drive traffic in this website's direction, but this recent article is interesting: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2200435/Paolo-Di-Canio-Doing-job-crazy-beautiful-too.html" onclick="win...

Re: Rangers are liquidated

Newco, Oldco whatever. When all's said and done it is pretty much the same team playing at the same ground. They've been demoted 3 divisions and lost all their players. They have a transfer embargo that will prevent them from signing replacements to likely get them straight back up. The SPL still w...

Re: Rangers are liquidated

It'll be only a very short-term inconvenience tho Fats. Into administration, clear their debts & then get the income from crowds of 50,000 or so each week . They'll get inordinate media attention too. They will walk through the leagues. The only question is how long it takes to settle down. It's fe...

Re: Rangers are liquidated

And you can go on believing that if it suits your self serving sanctimonious world view. And if you really think the game in Scotland was "excellent" in the 70's and 80,s you're even more deluded than most sweetie sookers Well, you're giving me nothing to go on here, so pray tell, why I am wrong on...

Re: Rangers are liquidated

So a striker goes looking for a penalty and cuts across the defenders line as the defender tries his very best to not foul him and Rangers are all that is bad in football? It was the institutionalised cheating that was highlighted in that video. Despite that, clearly Hunt was not looking for a pen,...

Re: Rangers are liquidated

perhaps- but do you honestly believe you would have won many more trophies had the shenanigans not been going on? Apart from a brief New Firm Spring of Ferguson/Mclean era, a bit of a Hearts revival that resulted in the grand total of nil trophies and prior to Rangers "cheating" i.e before the afor...

Re: Rangers are liquidated

the righteous indignation of the non Rangers supporting fraternity on here is beginning to grate. You'll just have to suck it up, as you say we are right to be indignant. We've been cheated for years, subjected to arrogance and cheating of a scale never seen anywhere before in football. hubris + je...

Re: Rangers are liquidated

There's talk of SPL2 being created in time for next season and inviting Rangers to be part of it. Aye, there was talk of Sevco being allowed to play in the SPL, there was talk of Sevco being admitted to Div1, thankfuly both of those "talks" were utter shite, just like talk of an SPL2 before the new...

Re: Rangers are liquidated

This is a huge read, but well worth the bother, from RTC blog: Stewart Regan tonight stands condemned by one of the most appalling press interviews ever given by a senior official in the Scottish game. But before I start talking about what he did say, let's be very clear on what he didn't say; he di...

Re: Rangers are liquidated

none of these teams got automatically relegated to the bottom division. strictly, they were not even relegated one division. they were merely deducted a set number (ten ? or so) of points.

Re: Rangers are liquidated

Why is "outwith" an acceptable word in Jockoland? Indeed, "outwith" is rarely used outwith Scotland. I myself only discovered this a couple of years ago when dealing with colleagues south of the border. We also have Examination "diets", which I think is peculiar to us Jocks. Along with "Perfectly l...
