GalaxyV.2 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Odd picture on the BBC Sport front page of Craig Whyte with Blue and Red eyes. I'm pretty sure its unintentional as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jock Knew Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I've seen a lot of pissing and crying in the last couple of hours from Rangers fans demanding to know why the SFA hasn't shown any sympathy for a member club being duped by a conman like Craig Whyte. Why is it that now, in the eleventh and darkest hour of the club's history, that these people come out of the woodwork? He was the Whyte Knight as recently as a couple of months ago who possessed "wealth off the radar" and would save the club from the brink. Â Don't say nobody tried to warn you, because the warning signs were there the minute Whyte landed on the scene and for subsequent months after. Not even from 'rebel' journalists or Twitter-based Celtic websites: I'm talking about the likes of Graham Spiers, the BBC etc. It's hard to feel sympathy for fans who stared at their own demise for so long and laughed it off because it just couldn't happen to the Rangers.

Daaaaaad! Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Any Rangers fan who was optimistic about a venture capitalist taking over is a complete idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted March 9, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 Have the administrators stopped trying to get a global agreement? Reported this morning that Naismith, Whittaker, McGregor and Davies have agreed the 75% pay-cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUM Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I may have missed it but has any of the media, at any point, actually wrote up an article criticising that Rangers basically stole from tax payers.

They'll get a pounding in due course I'm sure. Â All players have agreed a wage cut now according to twitter, just waiting for it to be signed off. Be interesting to see if they've written it off, it's been deferred, contracts re-written or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish media are too scared to blast anyone, including my own club Dundee who didn't pay the PAYE to HMRC for 3 months last season, we should have been slaughtered IMO more than we were, but very little was said of it.

You'll alienate a third of your readership if you criticise Celtic or Rangers. Exactly, It's hilarious to see the reaction when on the rare occasion a journalist with no agenda like say, Graham Spiers dares to criticise either of the Old Firm. He's either a "Hun bastard" or a "Tim sympathiser". Â The west-coast media is a joke and has been for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
