Richard Nixon Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) 100 Years Ago Disgraceful SIR - By now the whole of British football has heard of the disgraceful behaviour of Glasgow Rangers supporters. They came to Newcastle with about 20,000 supporters (if one can use that word) of which only 12,000 had tickets. These people drank in the bars all day long and it must have taken them longer to find the ground than it did for them to travel down! Of the two invasions on the pitch, the second was the worst. Newcastle scored their second goal and five minutes later, on they came, most of them with bottles in their hands. Just what makes these maniacs tick? All through this nightmare, Scots, some in drunken comas, some ill and others with gaping head wounds, were stretched out on the ground. [The Rangers fans] are untameable animals who should be kept in a cage! - Bill Walker, County Durham, Jimmy Hill's Football Weekly, June 6, 1969 Edited December 23, 2014 by Richard Nixon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Did they reject it? In a nutshell, yes. "The formal business of the meeting was a series of votes, including the reappointment of RIFC directors - all three received enough votes, although Somers only managed 61%, suggesting at least one major shareholder did not vote in his favour - and on resolutions eight and nine, to provide the board with permission to hold a share issue. The latter resolution was rejected, meaning that the board must provide existing shareholders with an opportunity to maintain the size of their stake. The board can now, though, seek to raise the money needed to keep the business operating - at least £8m by their own estimation - in the new year."

Third Lanark Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 The herald today had an article that the South African authorities are again investigating a certain David King particularly with the method he used to pay around 40 million of the 145 million he owed in tax over there. The article stated they are investigating a number of individuals but king is top of their list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article stated they are investigating a number of individuals but king is top of their list The King may be forced to go back and stand trial again in South Africa as authorities are unhappy with the amount he paid back, so God knows how much he actually fleeced the SA authorities of, tax wise. Dodgy, King, Rangers, Sevco, Spivs have one thing in common....they all seem to go hand in hand. The Football authorities are at last showing some balls over the Sevco scenario by not allowing Ashley to increase his stake in Zombieland. It will be a bigger outrage if The King ever gets his mits on the club, given that he is probably one of the biggest convicted tax evaders in the world. How can he be a fit and proper person to run a football club?? Edited December 26, 2014 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douglas clark Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Ally McCoist has aged enormously in the last couple of years. He is no longer a 'cheeky chappie', more a careworn member of the human race. I think his 'chances' with Sue Barker have plummeted. Welcome to reality Ally!

jags on tour Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Kenny McDowell doing well so far, 2-0 Hibs after 15 mins, Ian Black booked then subbed after 30 mins, 39 mins gone so far and it's been all Hibs.

JeanieD Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 With Pardew leaving for Crystal Palace? - surely Ashley will install the managerial genius of Ally into Newcastle - the EPL is surely his managerial home? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
