The Rangers soap opera goes on and on.

[Don Dan]

There is a very good interview on Phil M three names with Jim Spence and it doesn't put Rangers fans in good taste. Is anyone else now listening to Craig Houston from the SoS trying to act like some form of hard man claiming everyone is against Rangers and that every journalist supports either Rangers or Celtic.

This man is just another self appointed big man who likes the sound of his own voice and refuses to listen to any other point of view. Why the BBC even allow this eejit to sprout his hatred and bile is beyond comprehension. Richard Wilson is another who desperately wants to kiss up to Rangers and will simply not condemn any Rangers action in any way, shape or form.

I really wish that this three year old club would just wither and die.

The Pratt Craig Houston comes across as the kind of guy you'd nut in the boozer. I hope they check his pockets as he left the building. Edited August 3, 2015 by Dannie Boy

More ring piece than mouth piece.

 

I think the Spence interview is interesting but not overly enlightening. Anyone with a modicum of sense knew the BBC is was and always has been rammed full of huns, from the toadying types like Traynor and Young to the modern obsequious apologists like Wilson.

Plus ca change.

On the contrary he'll be loving it. He's getting to play the good little soldier, 'no surrendering' against the kafflick konspiracy currently persecuting the peoples football club.

 

He'll be high up the list for a seat at old bonk eyes top table once he cobbles enough cash together to put lamb back on the menu.

Richard Wilson ?@RichwilBBC 12s12 seconds ago

Douglas Park steps aside and his son Graeme take his place on the board of RIFC http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/9762-board-announcement ?

 

RANGERS International Football Club PLC announces that Douglas Park has decided to step down from the Board and also the Board of The Rangers Football Club Ltd.

Mr Park feels he cannot at this time make a full contribution to the running of the Club and Company because of other commitments.

 

The Board thanks Mr Park for his valuable contribution which helped ensure Board room change earlier this year.

 

Mr Park?s place on both Boards will be taken by his son, Graeme.

 

Mr Park said: "I would like to put on record that although I held the position as Director for only a short period of time it has been an honour and a privilege to serve the Club and I will always be proud of the part I played in bringing this great institution back into the hands of those who have its best interests at heart.

 

"I am confident that going forward the Club is in good hands and will offer all my support to the Board in pursuing what is best for the Club. Rangers is hugely important to me and my family and I am delighted that Graeme is joining the Board."

.

Douglas Park abandons the board to let his son take up the battle against Dave King's unfunded "over investment"

and of course to protect his personal tax position by continuing to live in Spain.

Just listened to that. A doesn't do it justice. Basically saying that Chris McLaughlin is a "Sellik man" so therefore can't be objective!

Glad to see that nepotism and feeding of the carcass is still good and well at The Rangers.

[I P Knightley]

It's of no great loss to anything that the BBC (and the weasel Mclaughlin) have been banned from Ibrox. They've failed to probe the Rangers shambles properly for a while now and have missed numerous opportunities to highlight sectarianism.

 

The only chap who came close has recently been hunted after a witch hunt last year when he told the truth. Meanwhile grunters like Doddsy and Derek 'Emmmm' Ferguson march on.

Good post.

 

The patsies they've sent in over the last three years are 'reporters' not 'journalists'. They've said what the orcs have wanted to hear. It's taken just this one little deviation from the agenda to show things up as they are.

 

I'm sure that the BBC will somehow manage to continue to be as obsequious as ever even without sending their man to ?1brox.

[Footballfirst]

It seems that the recent events with Chris McLaughlin are now affecting The Edinburgh Evening News and Glasgow's Evening Times with their reporting of "Football fans" or "West of Scotland" football fans being jailed yesterday for offences in Edinburgh.  Are both papers having difficulty in identifying which club they support?

THREE football fans have been jailed for their part in a mass riot in the Grassmarket, with banning orders of up to ten years handed out.

 

The trouble flared up between rival fans ahead of the Ramsden?s Cup Final clash between Rangers and Raith Rovers at Easter Road on April 6 last year.

 

The atmosphere turned ugly about an hour before kick off, leading to police closing the road briefly with 13 people detained.

Alister Galbraith, 29. from Paisley was ordered to complete180 hours of community work in six months.

If they were Raith fans I would bet that the reports would mention that they were, unless of course they belong to the Raith Rovers West of Scotland supporters club (Is there one?) 

The very fact that both papers refuse to mention which team they support tells it's own story and shows yet again that if you threaten, intimidate and bully everybody and every organisation which doesn't write, say or print what you consider to be favourable you eventually get what you want. 

It's not like Rangers haven't tried to re-write history before is it, they do it every day with their same club c**p. 

[Guest Bilel Mohsni]

Yes it's been well known for years..........there have been numerous deals made between the clubs over the last 2 decades or so

Sure the JJB connection had something to do with Webster's move to Rangers via Wigan.

[AllyjamboDerbyshire]

I doubt any bid from Wigan for Scott Allan is being made for TRFC's benefit, as TRFC would then, at least, have to match the price paid to Hibs, say ?400,000. If TRFC had that kind of money, or could come close to managing it in instalments, I expect such a bid would already have been made, if for nothing more than show. Not saying Allan wouldn't end up at Ibrox after half a season of reserve football, having failed to make the grade, but if he does as well as his publicity suggests he would, then any transfer would require substantial 'over-investment' from someone not 'over-investing' in TRFC at the moment.

No mention of any auditor being appointed.

 

No mention of any onerous contracts been renegotiated.

 

No mention of any NOMAD being appointed.

 

No mention of any date for the intended shares issue.

 

No mention of just how far short of their 45k season ticket tagged they are.

 

No mention of any cost cutting measures, to stem their losses.

 

No mention of when / how they will repay the ?5m Sports Direct loan.

 

No mention of any investment by Dave King, or anyone else.

 

As all these - if they ever happen - would be good news, the media would almost certainly run with the story, and as that hasn't happened, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume all these issues are still outstanding. That, in turn, suggests that the Club are still trading at a substantial loss, and must be burning through their season ticket money at a fearsome rate.

 

If I were one of their fans, I'd be getting increasingly worried at the time being taken to achieve the square root of zero.
