how long have you been a Saints fan, then

All their public mumblings so far have been about NOT doing anything, kicking the can down the road, passing it off to fans (who are NOT the responsible persons), claiming to be hamstrung by rules that they write, bend and break themselves. It's all bullshit. You couldn't invent a better example of crap governance. SPFL and SFA are part of the problem. They connived to invent a new club , bend all the rules to allow it into the leagues again, called in a retired Nimmo Smith to make a false judgement based on limited info that they fed him (that Rangers got no benefit from players paid by EBT) and now that the SUPREME court judgement (AND Murray) say that was incorrect they are scared to uncover their chicanery. SFA and SPFL - not fit for purpose.

But you still stalk me and follow every post - so I'm not wrong. And, to you, I AM interesting. how's Saudi going, btw? or are you back at the jannying in Arbroff? or just resting on here?

A tedious tosser such as you who spends his life being banal on this forum would find watching a shite going cold, interesting.

He DID. Yes. so why are the rules that have always hurt wee diddy clubs not been applied to the team that usetae play at Ibrox? Why are the clubs not asking that those rules be applied equally and fairly? Why are the papers, STV, BBC and all those other mainstream sporting media outlets so scared to ask questions and demand that truth, honesty and justice remain things in Scottish fitba? If those rules are not applied to all participants, Scottish fitba is DEID as a sport....

2?! Good news as my train trundles intae Newcastle...

I heard that his name was linked with Southwaite...

Forget discussion of assets. the DEID club's assets (Ibrox, Murray Park, the car park etc) are still in contention (wee Craig's company Wavetower believes it has prior ownership and anyway it's believed they're owned by "far Eastern investors" who get huge rental monthly from the loan-infusion new club). the liquidators are already in there, trying to save something for creditors... I think being DEID is sufficient punishment. However, as a bit of their history was corruptly "gained", what should happen is that the titles should be stripped, asterisked or whatever. And that would not hurt, no one would be hurt - remember we're talking about a DEID club here. It would be merely reflecting truth and reality. Fans of the new club (if it can continue - and also when yet another rebirth of another new club happens)can believe all they want, that all the titles were won by a 6 year old club(or another new 6 month old club) but the world will always know different. no one can inherit a history. Even though I know all his songs, I am not and never will be - John Lennon. the cheating titles have to go. It will punish no one.

There's the reason why Kylie never shows, right there. You won't even shoot par with a straight bat.

Wrong, rabuddies. But that's the bollox they want you to believe. There were no rules for a deid club's assets to be packaged into a club, which was then brought into the bottom league, despite failing ALL THE EXISTING RULES. Rules are irrelevant in Scottish football. Don't swallow their lies. It is NO problem for the clubs to ignore or make up rules as they like. They COULD actually apply sporting rules honestly and fairly for a change

Only if Scottish fans want it to be taken seriously and them not to be taken for mugs. it doesn't matter what cheating the DEID club did, it doesn't matter who is ripping off their fans - as long as they are still in the league and called Rangers by their fans and the SMSM and still be the proud holders of umpteen titles ( cheated by paying illegal monies to players and also by being a new club yet inheriting titles) - as long as Scottish fans are happy to accept and laugh jocularly at such utter shite, then NAW. it will continue to be hilarious and the SFA, the SMSM, the SPFL and the "Rangers" and the Rangers fans will find it hilarious. I find it depressing, but I have little skin in the game. after a lifetime of doing so, I've already stopped paying the money to watch SFA games. I haven't got a season ticket to watch St Mirren, so I can't cancel that in disgust if tomorrow it's decided by the Clubs that "we should all move on and do no title stripping, and no penalising for the good of the game". that would underline it is no longer a game, no longer a sport but just a typically corrupt business, that I have no interest in.

Safety? Huh. on a Virgin train, noo, and there has been 2 announcements so far. i think Marcel Marceau got the gig. sigh....

This morning about 7.00... "good morning passengers, sorry for the delay, the train ahead of us is having door problems ". I'm a gentleman/customer not a bloody passenger!

You'll love it. Briliant, right from the start. Gripping and intense. three different time frames . The Tommy over a week, the wee boats a day, the spirited over an hour.. And the tension all comes together at the end. very little dialogue early on but you still easily know what's occurring.

Just came back after HT (and watching Froome clinch the yella t-shirt in the time trials) to see several attacks from Saints, good shots and some more positive stuff. i know, I know... Against 10 men... But there's a slight ray of hope if Saints hold it to 1-0 this half.... I'm off early to the pub, just in case...

The ref also played his part in the second goal, getting in the way of a defender who MIGHT have got to the return pass before Lawless....

A typo? Bever... instead of Pais... ...or just coincidence? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-40683442

Surely NOT Zappa-rito...?

I still think Ashcroft House is best. (Aye, the one off the High Street... ) I believe that Scotscraig (up by the Brodie park) is very sadly no longer a b+b. It had the perfect host... aye, Dougie.... f3k is really close...

The Offshore game report came out, as you know, a while ago. May 5 http://www.theoffshoregame.net/475-2/ I've been reading lots of online comment about it on various internet bampot forums. It IS a disgraceful indictment of the cheating, lying, corrupt management of our game. The Scottish Mainstream Sporting Media have chosen to ignore it. The SFA and SPFL are also trying to ignore it. Just as they are ignoring the facts legally established by the Supreme Court decision in which David Murray admitted they gave out EBTs in order to be able to buy players they would not have been otherwise been able to afford. St Mirren FC have ignored it. They are all hoping that fans will continue to be mugs and buy season tickets, even though all the fans (including those of sevco) know that various titles and cups SHOULD be stripped, if the authorities applied the normal Scottish Football rule of all such cheating being penalised by the result being reinstated as a 3-0 defeat. It's worse than that. A secretive deal was done for An asset stripper (Charles Green) to buy some of the assets of the dead club and start a new one (without being burdened by any of the debts racked up - even though the old club wasn't paying its taxes!) and the fitba authorities see no problem in the new club, sevco, claiming that though it's only a few years old, and though it so far has only won diddy leagues, that it has hunners of titles and cups in its less-than-a decade history. This a blatant lie. Why are journalists not questioning this? Why do the fitba authorities allow the pretence to continue? Why do all the other clubs, not even question this? Cos the fans ARE mugs. They fought back once and now seem to have rolled over. Only in Scottish fitba does cheating go unpunished and the cheats are permitted to 'retain' their titles and medals. All other sports at least try to right the wrongs committed against them, the athletes - and the fans. I'm hoping Chris Froome somehow claims all the titles that Lance Armstrong had stripped. Why not? There is a new group of Scottish Fans who seem to be as devastated as I am with the moral collapse of a sport I once loved. http://scottishfsa.org/ I wish them well, but I don't think enough Scottish fans gaf....

Or like yon downhill ski lad, Primož Roglič?

My Condolences.

As LPM suggests, I am perhaps being unfair and it HAS been addressed. what I should have said is that it should have been FIXED/SORTED/NO LONGER A PROBLEM. it's all very well being 'able' to accept money, but in exchange for what? a promise? A kiss-me-quick hat? A seat on the next sevco board?

Aye. i saw another headline, and thought, "that makes a pleasant change..." 'Crooks Gone From Ibrox'.

No cause to say that. he's not being right, just consistent. He never has anything but bad to offer about Saints even when they're 2 up with 10 minutes left. consistency - that's all. And consistently NOT right in the latter part of last season.
