Maybe they should.

However that has no relevance to the situation at Rangers. The clubs you mention are both going concerns. Rangers aren't, hence they are to be liquidated.

Not to go off topic or anything...^^^^

He has a unique place in the annals of medical history,
as the world's only living brain donor

Man high on drugs steals a car, has a high speed chase from the police through the streets, hits two pedestrians and the incident ends by him crashing the car in to a lampost.

The result is (1) he damages the vertebrae in his back and can no longer walk and (2) he gets a lengthy prison sentence.

One of the above is a consequence of his own actions and one is a punishment. Can you guess which is which????

The SFA did their best for you skullery. Had Sevco & their fans not appealed the transfer embargo and threatened all involved they might just have pulled it off for you. Instead that behaviour alienated all other clubs who then overruled the SFA lodge.

The SFA did their best for you skullery ...feck that was happening for greed money and self interest not for any love of Rangers

from a Rangers fan point of view we certainly feel punished

From a fan's point of view, that's totally understandable. However the fact is that the club as an entity has actually had very little punishment thus far.

yet another example (since you keep asking) - MARSEILLE

So, what Division are Rangers going into? Or whatever they're called

The Wednesday testimonial against Kelty Hearts has been postponed cos they still have no licence.

The televised Ramsdens Cup game is now in danger of being postponed as well.

All because Sevco are trying to dictate the conditions of their licence.

Its like telling a judge what punishment you want after being found guilty.


PS just to rub it in they have Ian Black and Beattie training with them.These are 2 players who Hearts let go cos they can't afford them probably because they were owed £800,000 by old Rangers.


Its like a Monty Python sketch.

What about Abdul the newsagent
Has he been weighed in yet

WOW!!!!!! 5 pages on a Scottish 3rd div. side

They could be a good a good bet to win the league with a 100 percent record, if they are going to be signing players like Beattie and Black. They would be far,far too good for division 3.
They are 2 of the better players in SPL, outwith Celtic.

I'm failing to see why there is a need to quote other examples for you to call 'bollocks' when it's really quite simple.

Any player who is the subject of an EBT in the manner Rangers supposedly employed is improperly registered. The standard punishment for that is forfeit of any game in which they played. You forfeit the game, you lose points. You lose points, you lose league positions.

Arguing against the points you wish someone had made, rather than the ones they actually made, makes you look a bit silly. Seeing as I haven't put it into the category of match fixing and bribery, I have no idea why you're trying to argue that I have.

EBTs themselves aren't the issue. It's the side letters. If everything was completely above board, why are Newco so concerned with getting the SPL to stop their investigation into it?

Your explanation lacks any kind of logic. If a full investigation would clear them of any wrongdoing, why would they want it stopped?

this title stripping debate has been  extensively covered on both sides , all we can do now is await the outcome ..
as per usual Brave , you have proven once again you dont have the intelligence for a debate .
When people feel they are losing or have nothing of substance or in their defense to say, they can result to name calling. It is childish, as are they, and it says more about them than the person on the receiving end. usuall they only want to here from others who support their beliefs.....stick to celtic forums BRAVE

*that with

for all you delusional knuckle draggers.

"The awkward moment when Rangers Fans realise Super ALLY is just Ally"
Rangers have received hardly any punishment to date, most of the mess that they are in is a direct consequence of their own actions / inactions. Despite what McCoist and others keep bleating about, they've had next to no punishment imposed by anyone, so far.

Banned from Champions League
No they're not banned, they failed to qualify as they never submitted their accounts as per the rules.

Docked ten points
Any club entering Administration during the football season faces a automatic ten point deduction - and it did not alter their final league position.

Rangers were relegated from the SPL
Rangers were not relegated, they are in Administration, could not agree a CVA, and are facing Liquidation. Rangers will be wound up and cease to exist, so cannot play in any league.

Sevco were relegated from the SPL
Sevco were not relegated, they were not, and have never been, a member of the SPL. As a brand new company, they were refused permission to start off at the top tier of Scottish football.

Sevco have been relegated to the 3rd Div
Sevco are a brand new company, they have never been a member of any league, and have not been relegated by any league. They are starting in the 3rd Division, as all new Senior Clubs are expected to do.

Banned from Europe for three years
No, they're not banned, any club wishing a European Licence must provide three years audited accounts. Sevco are unable to meet that requirement, so can not qualify until they do have three years accounts.

Fined £160k
Actually yes, this is a punishment. It was imposed by an independent tribunal, for bringing the game into disrepute over non-payment of approximately £13,000,000 of Tax and NI, potentially a criminal offence.
To put this "punishment" into perspective, this fine is less than Hearts have been fined for Romanov complaining about corruption, and anyway, Rangers / Sevco haven't yet paid it!

Rangers have been punished for EBT's
No they haven't, the football authorities are not even investigating this. They were sent a "bill" by HMRC which they appealed. This appeal has been heard by the FTT, and both parties are currently awaiting the outcome.

Rangers have been punished for Dual Contracts
No they haven't, the SPL have said that there is a case to answer (irrespective of any decision on legality / illegality of their use of EBT's) on the use of undeclared dual contracts, meaning they would have fielded ineligible players, but to date this has not been actioned.

So far the only punishment Rangers / Sevco have received is the £160k fine - that they haven't actually paid..! Everything else they are claiming is a "punishment" is actually completely self-inflicted, and a direct consequence of their own conscious and deliberate inactions, or actions. :mad:

If anyone wants to repost, feel free. Just don't start believing what McCoist and the lamb munchers are claiming about being punished!!!!!

Tambhoy quote .....Rangers have recieved no punishment ...PISH

motherwell go into administration and recieve no punishment this is a fact..
Rangers go into administration and recieve 10 point deduction as  PUNISHMENT ...

dont take my word for it , THESE WORDS ARE FROM LEX GOLD ( SPL )..


The Scottish Premier League has agreed to deduct 10 points from clubs which go into administration and ban them from signing new players.

However, the rules agreed today will only come into force at the end of the season and will not be imposed retrospectively, giving a reprieve to Motherwell and Dundee who fell into administration last year.

Lex Gold, the SPL chairman, said: "There are no simple or easy options. PUNISHMENT should be through sporting sanctions and the 10-point deduction is linked to the embargo on buying players.

Its there in black and white Lex Gold CHAIRMAN of the SPL 2004 set the PUNISHMENT ..

for all saying Rangers have not been punished you are TALKING NONSENSE .
THAT IS JUST A FEW OF YOUR POINTS I HAVE CRUSHED TAMBHOY , if i get a decent reply i will destroy  the rest..
