No chance, why should they
Quite uncool to quite your own lost but I'm doing it anyway.The debate needs to be turned completely on its head.
So most reasonable people would say we are expected to beat St Johnstone at home. Which would give them a 10 point lead and therefore from their perspective that is enough to be handed the title.
So to turn it on its head they must logically agree a 10 point lead would be enough would be enough to see Rangers crowned champions.
Now the reason they are shouting about getting the league is because they believe they have an unassailable lead.
So it would be a reasonable assumption to believe they a one goal lead isn't enough to be described as unassailable. Probably a two goal lead is not unassailable either. I'll say a three goal lead doesn't fit the criteria either.
Ok let's say goal difference isn't enough surely a reasonable person would say that with eight matches to go. So is it like point? Eh probably not that could be overturned yeah? Two points? Nah let's rule that out that's only one match yeah.
This leads us onto the crux of it. The question that they will never be able to answer is.
If the roles were reversed at which point would Rangers be awarded the title between one goal and ten points ahead?
What is the criteria used?
Exactly,More chance of them admitting they ran a Peado ring than giving us a title .
Not a chance. Japan tour would reappear
can someone explain this Japan tour? I see it mentioned quite a lot recently and I think it has something to do with 2008 but I’m not exactly sure.
Cheers and btw there’s no way they would concede the title
Thanks for that & the main reason for the backlog was the cancellation of the new year game due to the Phil O,Donnell death & when it was rescheduled on the February parts of the roof at the Piggery started to blow off in a storm & so it got put back again, eventually when it did get played we lost to a goal 6 minutes into injury time.Due to our backlog of games and the fact we were in a European final we asked if the league could be extended slightly, to give us a sporting chance. We got told no, due to sporting integrity the season couldn't be extended, and also that the scum had booked onto a summer tour of Japan. Which never actually materialised. Edit - if I recall correctly we ended up playing something like four games in eight days as a result.
Further edit, we ended up playing:
May 4th - League
May 7th - League
May 10th - League
May 14th - Uefa Cup Final
May 17th - League
May 19th - League
May 22nd - League
May 24th - Scottish Cup Final
There's how accommodating our governing bodies were to support us in trying to win a European trophy. Ever since then a lot of us - myself included - have taken the view of %^*& them. Oh and then just a few years later throw in the events of 2012.

Only thing I’ll add is that the originally postponed game was quickly rearranged but got canned because we had to reschedule a home cup tie v E Stirling which got called off as our pitch was in a state - think we were the only game off that dateThanks for that & the main reason for the backlog was the cancellation of the new year game due to the Phil O,Donnell death & when it was rescheduled on the February parts of the roof at the Piggery started to blow off in a storm & so it got put back again, eventually when it did get played we lost to a goal 6 minutes into injury time.
It still bugs me to this day how we bent over to accommodate them ( I know for a fact Walter was raging) & then they use their influence in the SFA to fu#k us
Rant over ( till the next time)
