Regarding the New Com[any name Just pop the date after the old name as in Accrington Stanley 1968 Which I believe is their trading name, but thjeir playing name is still Accrington Stanley So Rangers will be registered as Rangers 2012, I have a feeling they are Glasgow Tangers on the official lists, but still who cares

The trophies Rangers have won are now blighted, by the fact they were won with other peoples money. So Rangers having wrecked history and ruined the stats of Scottish football with what in blunt terms is cheating can get away Scot free, because all the other clubs need revenue. Any one of us could win the league if we could manage a team with over hundered million spare pounds to spend. I am sure Terry and ICT could.

As another aside - Celtic buy Portsmouth, Stick their reserves Team in League 1 ( for now) - Play their games at Carlisle - ( Direct Rail link to Glasgow) - Win their way back to the Premier League iSouth of the border , Switch grounds to Glasgow, having apealed to the courts against restriction of trade. Celtic then will be a Premier league Club, They could always play their reserves in the SPL. How does that grab you. Remember Sansea a non-English team play in the Premier league , so natural justice would apply in any court.

Charles Bannerman, on 13 February 2012 - 05:42 PM, said: And as I said in my Highland News column last week, after all those years of hallmark triumphalistic hubris, a certain sector of the Rangers support might indeed learn a little about humility from a journey through the lower leagues and trips to the likes of Alloa, Forfar and...... Central Park Cowdenbeath That means Rangers will miss the joys of Dingwall ????

And for the record, Adolf Hitler (despite his failure to appear in court) was guilty. You okay with this or should we not be allowed to discuss or have an opinion due to his failure to have legal closure A good few of his mates did appear in court though in Nuremborg , and not to drive F1 cars

The loss of Rangers May be offset by a full stadium when Ross County visit

Debt isn't a problem Manchester United have a sevicable debt of over £700million, caused through the buy out. Basically you can borrow money to buy a foofball club, and the club pay the interest charges. The problem is an unpaid tax bill and accountancy irregularities and alleged fraud. If the books can be sorted out. Rangers can service the debt through their massive income , that is what the administrators will be looking at. Or am I looking at it all wrong

Fair Points The only similar failiure of a football club of anywhere similar status (if you dicount Fiorentina, and a South American side who escapes my feeble memory), was Leeds United - Leeds if you remember tried to buy sucess in Europe under Peter Ridsdale , went under financially and ended up in the lower leagues in England, Does The Forum think if Leeds can go under so can Rangers?

The bigger you are the less you fall I seem to remember in England many moons ago Peterborough made illegal payments to players and got relegated Manchester Unt did something similar and got fined Bury played an unregistered player loanee ( on for 10mins) in the cup and got thrown out West Ham played an illedal player in the league and got fined, costing Sheff Unt relegation. When there was only goal difference between the two of them. I'm afraid the powers that be don't challenge the big clubs like they do the small ones. Iwonder why?

Interesting debate this I think the little clubs in the lower divisions will enjoy the cash from a visit from Rangers If they get punished like Livingstone ? I could run a football team using other peoples money

> ?

The Jury thought not But I am not so sure ?

The Play-offs are about to start I fancy - if you like a bet on outsiders Try Baltimore Ravens For The Super Bowl

Bristol City are doing very well now under his leadership

Unbelievable So Shocked - one of the nicest people in football - He will live long in the memory of millions of people Deverstating for his family, for Wales, and football in the principality Rest in peace There was a minutes clapping at the Swansea match, apparently Given the Villa Goalkeeper was crying at Kick off Nobody can belive it http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/nov/27/tributes-wales-manager-gary-speed

I wonder if the scores of millions ( a lot in the UK and many in the sport ground in Inveness, who have a team ), of fans may find that statement very confrontational The American football sport is very technical and very difficult to play. it is a mans' game there is very little complaining, officials are rarely challenged - Players behave themselves - and keep their dignity. Something Association footballers (soccer players that is) - would do well to emulate.

The team has the manager it deserves The Fans have the manager they deserve The City does not have the manager it deserves

Big Match tonight at Wembley My money is on the Bucs How long before they get a game in Glasgow The NFL are talking about playing in Continetal Europe with more matches next season *** Not sure if - other football topic - is only for association Football, if I am posting in the wrong place many apologies **

*** To Immortal Howden Ender **** How's Chorley.( I was an instructor at Washington Hall for many years)? I was at the Chorley v Bury match - for the giant Killing ( or mini giant ) - You have a lot of confidence in the Caley team. I hope you are right. But a draw was just about acceptable. But an improvement will have to happen quickly

When all is said and done the best result in the City of Inverness on Saturday, was at Clach

Your problem not mine. If you need to be told

In what way do I type what I don't know? I was asked by a poster to state my views. I don't read posters names, as I find it leads to persnnalities getting in the way. I started off with a simple statement. I have been pressed to add to it. I did. Now I have got into a major debate. I don't worry about being called names like fool. like I said, I will be chuffed if I am wrong. But I wouldn't put money on it. look at the betfair price on who will be relegated. Are the bookies fools.?

You have no need to swear - Pub talk to someone who is probably old enough to ne your great grandad ,, I think the moderator should withdraw this type of posting. It does no credit to the forum. I understand your loyalty and bad temper, but you make no points that are of ant use to man nor beast. Just pointless trying t to appear forceful. very pathetic. I don't know what your teachers would think if they could see your behaviour.
