Ewing Grahame the chosen conduit for the SPFL to piss in

[Ataturk]

‘A Hampden source’.

 

[Square it!]

Hmmm that might explain a few things this season.
97th minute equaliser anyone?

 

[Crispy Bacon]

Always thought maybe that was behind some of the dodgy decisions.

We’ll just win it next year instead.

 

[TheSqueakyWeiner]

97th minute equaliser anyone?

Och, these things happen.

 

[Square it!]

Imagining a sparrow with its beak wide open waiting for a worm to be dropped it.

 

[BroomloanWATP]

The cinch deal is worth about £2.50 ffs.

 

[Homelander]

Yeah, that needs investigated by the club and pronto

 

[Kirkhillbear]

Would certainly explain a lot of the decision making by certain officials throughout the season.

 

[Mason Boyne]

I’ve said before, cinch get more publicity from their spat with Rangers than they do from their deal with the rest of Scottish football.

 

[Cahoochie]

cinch must be lapping up the sell out Saturdays whilst the other SPFL Clubs bask in the huge financial rewards the cinch deal gives them.

 

[SDF91]

Means and motive.

Also, I’d have loved for the other clubs to have taken legal action against us. The fact pattern is so cut and dried in our favour that it would be a massive waste of their cash.

 

[Chubster]

The article misses some key points about the background to the deal and the cash paid to a third party to set it up. The poor SPFL clubs would have appreciated a share of it I'm sure!

 

[Blues and Royals]

The entire Jock nation despises us. Just let us leave their backwater league and then we can prosper properly elsewhere.

 

[muttley]

There was no way we were being allowed to win the League this season. Not because of the Cinch deal, but the automatic entry to the CL, and the free money that came with it. The endless laughable decisions that went Celtc's way were no coincidence.

 

[Bluepixie]

Why has the Rangers/Cinch/SPFL arbitration case not been settled yet ? Surely all evidence would have been presented and arguments made by now. It's baffling why it is taking so long.

 

[Noddy]

And go where?

I can only imagine the cheating they will need to cram in before VAR arrives in January.

 

[Davester]

And go where?

Bundesliga?
They love a traditional club like ourselves.
Take RB Leipzig's place!

 

[Robocop1960]

That would explain their unbeaten run they go on about

 

[Desert Loyal]

Scottish Football:

 

[Bear all]

Hmmm that might explain a few things this season.
97th minute equaliser anyone?

Offside goal against us and more importantly for them .

 

[Sandbear]

Interestingly enough there are no figures for the cash just vague threats.
Is that because if the clubs were relying on the amount we get from Cinch then their business model is fucked?

 

[Sido]

Just supposing cinch pulled out and the other clubs sued for the missing money would that make us the de facto sponsors of the league?
Imagine all the other teams wearing our crest on their sleeve

 

[mdingwall]

They obviously aren;'t following the court proceedings.

If they were their arses would be making buttons rather than leaking to a passport - Rangers/The Parks have won on every point so far.

 

[Bridgend-loyal]

And still we will 'Follow on' and put money into the other clubs. Ever since 2012, I have always said not to 'feed' these club. It will never happen as the uber fans want to see the team. I''m sure if we did this for a season, then they might be a bit more amiable towards our club and supporters/fans. I say fans as seemingly that is what I am now, as I can't manager along to games now.

 

[kenikinif]

Any respectable journalist would surely be asking question about the finders fee
Probably kids teams out there getting a better sponsorship deal with the local builder than what some of the lower league clubs make from this "record" deal

 

[Ted Rangers]

I've raised this concern a few times. The decisions in games around January and February were instrumental in deciding the title.
There was no way we could have been allowed to win the title.

 

[BoomSong]

Big bad Rangers, sick of that shite!

 

[remembertheepoch]

The class action should be against the SPFL and not rangers I'm afraid since rangers had nothing to do with the contract. Have they missed the verbatim on the SPFL v rangers so far. The judge has basically sided with Rangers on every point raised.

 

[SimonLeBon]

I can only imagine the cheating they will need to cram in before VAR arrives in January.

They will already have been instructed to do this, don't be surprised if the vermin have a healthy lead come the new year.

100% this.

 

[Toomanypies]

"It would leave a major hole in the finances" "Dependant on the income" really?

"Class action" hahaha

I had made a coffee and that came to me as well the SPFL would have been in the dock not Rangers .

 

[Spart7]

A colossal 38k per club, per season must leave a huge 'black hole' for premiership clubs. Might mean the directors bonuses or dividends won't be quite as high as normal, hell mend Rangers for sticking to the laws of the game, written by the SPFL themselves, and their principles. Shocking behaviour.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Obviously this has taken the place that Ewing had reserved to batter us after bad behaviour in Seville.

Tadger.

I just wonder with previous SPFL behaviour exactly what direction referees & linesmen were given this season.

This stinks.

 

[Twosignals]

Hmmm that might explain a few things this season.
97th minute equaliser anyone?

Men in Black, cross my palm with silver.

 

[Bear all]

So the same scenario again for next Season then .

 

[roguebear81]

Been saying this for months, SPFL were sh1t scared of us winning the league this season and losing that pathetic sponsor. Not normally one for conspiracies but too many last minute (well 8-9min) winners, offside decisions and general odd calls by refs.

 

[blue genes]

I can only imagine the cheating they will need to cram in before VAR arrives in January.

Watch out for VAR being "delayed" if things are tight at the top...

 

[GingerbreadGirl]

So thats why the winter break was moved. Nobody can convince me we wouldn't have beat Aberdeen and Celtic of it wasn't moved. We ended up losing Morelos, they got to buy new players and get injured players back. Can't stop going over that in my head.

 

[WDYGH]

Probably explains the systemic cheating that went on by the child rapists, referees and the league. We were never going to be allowed to win the title. Was all about giving the pederasts money in case justice finally came home to roost.

 

[flounder]

Far too many decisions went against us last season, while a remarkable amount of errors helped celtic.

 

[stein and johnston]

Yet, unbelievably, that mob still think the football authorities in this country are against them.

 

[MightyGersLand!]

If you think VAR is going to even things up you are in for a shock.
BT and Sky already just refuse to show replays of any wrong calls that go against us, and show 20 replays of everything denied them.

 

[jaws73]

Corrupt!

 

[dh1963]

It would be more honest if it said it was written by Murdoch McLennan.
Because it's just an obvious hatchet job by our SPFL enemy.

 

[Cooperfan]

A sponsorship deal worth a few ginger bottles to clubs. I'm sure they'd love to get out of this deal so the league can get a proper one in place.

 

[scooter70]

I did say months ago when decisions were going against us and for them that they didn’t want to see us lift a league without their sponsors branding

I was “paranoid” if I remember correctly

 

[Spiderman]

‘Used car dealing firm’?

Swipe at Dougie there.
