  1. Football is not a typical business arena. When clubs attempt to bring normal business ethics into their environment it ends in a poorer product. It's entertainment. Even more. It's tribal. The clubs have a finite customer base which is typically much lower than most businesses. They need to augment their income by uncommon means in an attempt to reach their goal. (No pun intended). Unlike a lot of workers, footballers have the luxury of being paid for playtime. They have the luxury of being contracted and, if they fail, they are entitled to full financial compensation for the remainder of that contract. IF they decide they want to move after signing this contract it seems reasonable that the club should receive compensation for their endeavours to improve the player and to finance replacing said either through they themselves paying compensation to another club or to develop a replacement. The players also receive part of the compensation.
  2. The day transfer fees are outlawed is the day smaller clubs stop nurturing talent. We will have poorer facilities and poorer coaches to teach them.
  3. Plaudits go to, not only the back four, but the midfield in front. Goodwin was IMMENSE but he wasn't alone in defending. This was a lesson in how to hold onto a lead. Yes. We rode our luck on two occasions but that's football. We also used the "outball" to almost good effect. In essence. This was an excellent away performance and an excellent away win. We looked like a team tonight.
  4. Merchant seaman use this loophole as a norm. I have known some to take a 6 week holiday in the carribean to "circumnavigate" paying tax.
  5. Some might ask if it's morally right to financially penalise people because of their earning potential by way of punitive tax banding
  6. As I pay, it was just the done thing in footba;ll, as I pay, I was told, as I pay, that I didn't have to, as I pay, pay so much!
  7. Answer in pounds and pence? I don't know exactly how many pence but £0 won't be far wrong. Oh,.... and peanuts.
  8. Hope this helps! Edited to add. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/rangers/robertson-hopes-rangers-can-recapture-the-spirit-of-92-against-celtic-195731n.117195859 I can't help but laugh. Asking a zombie to find a spirit. Is Stephen king in the building?
  9. I think he's been told to say..... as I say, I still think the "goal" was offside,..... you know.
  10. Perhaps he's already said it all off air.
  11. A lot of folk, you know, use wee inserts, you know, to give them time to , a mean, think, eh, don't you do, well, you know, that too? As I say. Edited to add,. Perhaps he's conscious of the number of players, ex players and managers who constantly say, you know, you know!
  12. Just a shame they both can't lose this game.
  13. How often do we reduce the price when we're televised at our patch?
  14. More chance of Ronaldo turning up at Asda Linwood Paisley!
  15. No need to make a song and dance about it.
  16. I thought a double yellow couldn't be appealed under any circumstance.
  17. I am officially more likely to believe in Santa Clause, The Gringe and The Easter Bunny than the club is nearly Argie Bargied!
  18. If they hold a spanish or portugese passport, which a lot do, that's unneccessary.
  19. Shirley Crabtree! Jessies the lot of them. And those wrestlers wurnae much better!
  20. Registered trademarks, Edmiston House and Albion Car Park. and another 26% of shares in Rangers Retail Limited for the duration of the loan of which £3 million is owed to, .... M.A. He will also have the right to nominate two directors to Rangers' board for the duration of the loan. Blue in more ways than one teddies?
  21. Catch twenty two. IF we were more comfortable in the league I'm sure every one of the lads would shine. Unfortunately we need older heads to take the strain ATM.
