Leopards dont change their spots
It may be a few years since Nacho Novo kicked his way around the SPL, but the Spaniard had what we have been longing for, passion to play for his clubs, Dundee and Oldco, but some people dont ever move on. Seemingly Nacho was in Scotland this Summer, with his family, and had to be taken into a shop with the doors locked to get him and his family away from abusive Celtic fans. Seemingly he has been getting tweets from Celtic fans threatening him and his family. Oh so glad we dont live in a gold fish bowl

County paying for away fans buses
No county are providing the coaches, What they havent said is they will be horse drawn and set of on Wednesday morning. Alternatively, it because some of their own fans have broken down, and they are going to latch the caravans onto the back of the bus to get home

Season tickets down 20%. Why?
Its because of the hideous choice of strip this year. Well, not really, had 5 season tickets for us and kids until last season (only got to two home games last season and cant afford to throw cash away). Now cant make many games due to work, but still think our strip is hideous. Also, on the loyalty theme, with our desire to sign players on one year deals, why cant we get them with the option of a second year. Loyalty only goes so far as players are concerned, how many of Oldco Rangers players who played for the shirt stayed with the Newco, even on huge wages. If the same were to happen to ANY club, the majority would jump the sinking ship, even if the money was good.

Billy Dodds
It will probably be a battle between around 7 or 8 to avoid relegation to SPL 2. Hibs, St J, St M, Dundee, County, Killie, Dons and ourselves will be cutting each others throats, with Arabs, Jam tarts and Mothers 2nd to 4th. Dont think Dodds has been right before, so could be a good omen

Rangers go into administration
The thing is, if its newco and no ties to old then they have no debts to pay, no sanctions against them. However, as they want the history, they carry the football debt, take relegation and the signing embargo. All clubs buy success, just costs them differring amounts. If a team won the SPL without buying it, it would have to be amatuers Queens Park. Celtic will win the SPL title this season, and cos no one else can pay the same money, they will be buying the title. The EBT system used by Rangers was not illegal, in fact many other clubs have paid players this way, but the HMRC are closing these legal loopholes. Manchester United use these loopholes just the same, as do Chelsea, Arsenal Man City etc. One thing Green hasn't learnt in my opinion, accussing people of things they aint doesn't do you any favours, look at folks opinion of Neil Lennon. And is it irony that Mr Lennon looks like being investigated for dodging tax now, SPL and SFA dont look good after this pantomine, but SFL do come out looking and smelling better than their admin cousins

Brechin v TheRangers.
Wondered where the cops were, given the very definite sectarian singing. Thought that was illegal now? Were there many arrests? That's where I have a big problem with oldco-Rangers supporters, whichever team they are supporting atm..the level of complete irrationality, bile and just downright arrogance they employ. They are, by far and away the nastiest and least intelligent supporters (en masse) in Scottish Football today, and have been for years, a complete embarrassment to decent Fitba supporters. To be fair, I think they are just about equal with the other half of bile. Been spat on, peed on, had pies thrown at us, and even had a wee kid sh1t amongst us at Parkhead with the best fans in the world shouting Touch him an yer deed, while they sing their bile. Only had coke thrown at us at Ibrokx, and the singing ofcourse. Just a higher proportion of dreggs of society follow both of them, and the more of them they have the lower the tone goes. Brechin did well, Rangers did poor for the team fielded, but if they had a real striker the game would have been finished at half time, although they will likely get one within the month!!!!! Think Greens comments are guided towards the sanctions against them as newco, on behalf of oldco. It does seem like a witch hunt now. Players still won and lost titles during this time in question, their wages didnt change how they won and lost, most clubs pay bonuses dont they, us included. When it comes to gate money, think cup games are always split ( hence why county usually lose 1200 fans compared to league games ) with clubs keeping the home league gates. TV monies would be split between the two teams in a cup game, whereas in the sfl televised games income will go to the SPL, so they feed it between the clubs in the top league, and just drip small amounts down to the sfl clubs, or so they want.

ICT squad 2012-13
Feel fine about the newbees we have signed, adding to what was a decent bunch. Little concerned about the amount of yoof, not saying they aint decent cause some are, but they were very poor against other teams under 19s. Is it that the other SPL teams have an upcoming golden generation?

SFL selling 25 live Newco games
Bidding has started for the SFL allowing bidders to show up to 25 of The Rangers home and away division 3 league games. Sky seemingly interested in the new clubs progress. Any danger they reduce the SPL agreement next season in favour of this new league club?

didnt expect many to know that one TBB, one of the imaginative band names, like Red Lorry Yellow Lorry. I'd be fine with Piermayr for another season, not too keen on Proc myself though
