Think "Ramsdens cup" was the clue!

Do we know how Rangers voted back in 2004? We "won" the original vote 7-5 but needed 8 votes, then won the subsequent vote 10-2. Maybe not quite clear with my original statement, when i say "cross club backing" i meant from the supporters of clubs.The original vote was clouded by self interest including from our own Chairman at Dens,but the message got through to most that supporters wanted justice and teams in on merit not financial clout or geographical location.

I think the last time i saw such cross club backing for any football related controversy in the past, was when ICT looked liked being vetoed from joining the league due to not meeting SPL ground regulations.The will of supporters was strong to see a travesty overturned despite the loss of revenue for some and longer journey times etc. Supporters want to see healthy competition,and all are fed up with the stagnation of the game since the 90's. The time has arrived for real change and if the opperchancity is not grasped the battle really is over. As Kingsmills alluded to, the highland league grounds will probably also see more of me as well if a capitulation takes place.

Correct D, at the time of application i felt it was a very speculative but is now looking quite prudent.That said, it gives no time to build a remotely competitive squad but would give a season of welcome extra income and may to some small degree pay back some of the dues from the Zurab Khisanisvilla episode! (Bitter? no me!)

Yenited have not emphatically said no, Thompson said they would need a lot of convincing, blah blah,as he was twitching about season ticket sales but left it open to u turn.Time will tell after several seasons listening to moralising from all and sundry as to where their own morality lies when situations affect their clubs financially.

....and folks wonder why grass roots football is dieing on it's arse and kids find other things to do in Scotland.Still, as long as we can know what the Northern Meeting Park is called in Gaelic, all will be fine

Inverness City are doing a great job promoting the city name in the junior leagues,also coaching and encouraging youths. IMO they should be helped and encouraged way ahead of the the many and varied "good causes" seen appropriate to receive buckets of public funding.

The whole affair is disgraceful,it must be soooo demoralising for the guy's putting in a ton of work at this level to get kicked in the nads due to bureaucracy,meanwhile several levels up the powers that be can't bend over far enough to accomadate serious wrongdoing and rule breaking.

As long as Scottish football has decision makers of the calibre of Jim Ballantyne,who not so long ago,vented his spleen to show how robust the authorities would be when financial shenanigans were afoot and i quote... "We are of the opinion that lessons are not being learned. For example, clubs have to realise that, going forward, they cannot treat their HMRC obligations as something akin to a credit card. "In the face of current challenges, our ultimate aim is to ensure that clubs survive with integrity. Professional and robust financial management procedures are key to the future security of all clubs."..... Fast forward 18 months and he is sitting in the Directors box in Belfast at a Rangers friendly with a Rangers Fighting Fund badge on,what hope for anyone?

"Meanwhile, SPL bosses have done a U-turn by admitting Rangers will be allowed to compete in the top flight without an SFA club licence. The club’s failure to submit audited accounts for last year by March 31 breaches the SFA’s club licensing criteria. But yesterday SPL secretary Ian Blair insisted that would not block Rangers from competing in the elite division next season. That’s despite Blair writing to member clubs nine months ago insisting a licence would be essential for any team taking part in the 2012-13 season. That would make the Glasgow giants the only senior club in the country operating without a licence. “Whether clubs do or do not have that licence is not currently relevant to their participation in the SPL. “There is work going on behind the scenes with ourselves, the SFA and the Scottish Football League in order to establish a more unified policy.” Scottish League sources confirmed Rangers would be allowed to enter next season’s League Cup without a licence. The SFA also admitted they would be allowed to take part in their flagship competition, the Scottish Cup, even though their licensing laws suggest they could be kicked out of football. And Under Article 35 it states: “Clubs failing to comply with the requirements of the Club Licensing Procedures shall be liable to a fine, to a suspension, to an expulsion, or such other sanctions as are provided for in the Judicial Panel Protocol.” Meanwhile, on the other side of the Scottish footballing universe,Inverness City get relegated,instead of promoted coz "rules have to be adhered to"! As ever, ya couldnae make it up wi the tubes running the game in Scotland. Maks me

Was out there a few weeks back on a beer and sausage frenzy, Olympic park has stood the test of time well and is still pretty impressive, located beside it are the Olympic swimming pool and ice arena which hosts concerts etc and landscaped gardens, ponds etc,also the comms tower built for the olympics and across the road the BMW factory,good day out touring the lot,works up a fair thirst for the Haufbraue hoose :-)

Watched Buckie V Forres last week and they certainly look title favs now,despite getting the keeper sent off for a stupid retaliation, the 10 men battled and did well to snatch the 3 points.Look forward to watching their champions league games!
