Now that we are sure Newco/Servco/The Rangers will definately not start in the SPL ( RIGHTLY ) and the beaks who run the game seem determined to shoe horn them into the first Division. I am not sure this would be the best thing for Scottish football.

If we are going to punish them, we punish them good, and I would hope for the benefit of our football. The 3rd division is where I think they should be, and their attendances would re-invigorate the leagues from the bottom up. The boost in money to these lower league clubs would be tremendous, and they would still have something to play for, with promotion still possible through the play-offs, in the belief that this new Rangers would gain promotion at a canter.

If they were to be flushed into the first division, they would still be certs for coming back up, but the rest of the first division will have no way of promotion with their being no play-offs.

The SPL clubs have made the decision that they will be ok without the money Rangers help generate, so we should demote them to the third, sort out the spl monies distribution between clubs, and re organise the leagues before they get back up.

He was on Scotland Tonight with Archie MacRanger last night and came across as being very sensible in his outlook of our game.

There's only so much of this kind of drivel that fans can take from the morons running the game in this country before they say "screw this for a game of soldiers!" and go looking for an alternative. I for one am more than halfway there already. This whole thing stinks of corruption and bullying. I'm glad at least Alex Thomson is telling it like it is.

I think we should create a new Alex Thomson appreciation thread!

When I met him earlier, he mentioned that he may be going out to Syria to carry on as the war correspondent for Channel 4. Long may he continue as Channel 4's Chief Newco correspondent! We're lucky to have a journalist of this standard.

" Why? Dunfermline were absolute pap last season and were deservedly relegated."

That's the very reason I want them in

Less chance of Inverness going down next year,

Is this thread not relating to which gears Laurence's car is more effective in ?

Gears or Gers ?
