In what way do think we need therapy? Do you not think some NLP would be more effective in the short term? Some hypnotic word patterns to spin our minds around to your way of thinking? How are you going to use the results of your little experiment? Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.

I understand where you are coming from. But I really don't officiate games, like these.

Get yersel' back on Pie and Bovril mun, yer sorely missed.

Kudos for the Jim Morrison quote, although not name dropping him leads me to believe you wanted to claim that one as your own, 6/10

;) if it helps to view me as an enemy feel free. Have you ever thought about how folks who have to quote others really have nothing of their own to say?

It's a shame that your emotions would never be reciprocated, have you noticed lately that people view your posts as nothing more than the ramblings of a needy, attention seeking old man?

Have to agree on CW, definite psychopath without a doubt.

Very good, most of Freud's ideas, whilst respected and revered at the time of writing, have been dismissed by modern psychologists. Have they not?

Thank you D, it is enough for me to know that this is on the agenda. For the rest of you, what are your thoughts on the situation? How would you suggest as a group we could protest let our feeling be known to the SFA/SPL/ICT?

I really am surprised at how many people have responded to your survey CaleyD as I think the result is obvious. I obviously have a greater faith in our fans than you then. We might only have about 35% who would support such a scheme, but if you assume a core support and apply the poll results as a guide to the wider fanbase then we have 1000 fans who would be interested in making a contribution. Even if we only averaged £10/month from each then that's £120k a year. Not earth shattering sum of money, but I believe if/when faced with the very real possibility of financial armageddon then it would increase....and of course there's also a high chance of corporate backing as well. Time will tell whether my faith is misplaced or not. Nothing at all wrong with putting out feelers, if my club stepped up to the plate and did the correct thing I would consider myself a hypocrite not to financially support them when I have asked them to show faith in us. Whatever I felt I could reasonably afford.

I think that if ICT did return to Division 1 then part time might well be on the cards this time Which would you prefer, to support a team which lives within it's means and is morally just? or to support a team who is party to engineering the ability to cheat and then wipe the slate clean just so they can keep paying for underachieving "stars" in the top flight? In other words are you a sports fan or a 'sports' entertainment fan?

If and when Newco Rangers are disallowed access to the SPL it would be down to every club in the league to adjust their spending accordingly. If they could raise money by asking the fans to do something as suggested by CaleyD then fair play to them but if not they'd have to tighten their belts, Ross County gaining promotion this season will go a long way to offset any loss we would feel by getting rid of the cheats, our budgets are set with relegation in mind and there is bound to be back up plans should we find ourselves in the 1st Division. In case you have short memories there are no old firm teams in the first division to boost income. In my opinion if there was an untapped revenue stream available to the club should Rangers be gone then the club should be attempting to tap into it whilst Rangers are in the SPL, not doing so is folly.

This situation is all about the moral standpoint and how you personally choose to follow your conscience. ICT have a vote on bringing in rules which deal with a newco being punished should they be allowed into the SPL. The SPL board can at this moment place any sanctions they see fit on a newco but by voting to have a set of rules in place, a vote which falls on all SPL and requires an 11-1 majority, legitimises newcos and accepts that there is a possibility of allowing them direct access to the SPL. The SPL members should, for the sake of our game, be making a rule which requires newcos to restart from scratch. You cannot just wipe out your debts, acquired through trying to maintain a false position within the footballing world (cheating), and expect to keep your place in the top tier of the countries league system. If the SPL vote to legitimise cheating in this manner then I am done with the SPL. The Dons supporters trust released this open letter, I am dismayed that the ICT supporters trust have not followed suit. http://www.donssuppo.../category/news/ The choice ladies and gentlemen is your own, if you feel that you can follow a club which condones and is a party to cheating on this scale then that is your choice and should not be condemned. My choice however is that I will not tolerate or back any club who, for their own financial gain, legitimises cheating and removes the sport from our wonderful game.
