Arsenal were robbed 25M for Tierney he was caught on the ball numerous times and defensive he was weak when man city were running at him he cannot tackle either falls over too much he looks out of his depth he might do better against lesser sides I look at him from a Scotland point of view 5/ 10 match performance against man city.

17 Jun 2020 23:16:39
Yeh Arsenal were robbed. don't think Celtic will mind though.

18 Jun 2020 00:26:08
Got to disagree rfc98 imo KT will turn out to be a superb full back. The one thing that will hold him back is that he is injury prone.

I for one, am glad he is plying his trade down south, rather than for that lot.

18 Jun 2020 07:45:30
I've always had my doubts and have said so many times on here. The lad is a good player, but top Premier club level, not a chance. He was good up here but constantly found out in Europe and for Scotland when they play decent sides. Got to take my hat off to them for getting that kind of money mind you.

Whoever sanctioned the move from Arsenal's point should be sacked and probably has been. To buy this player who is clearly not good enough and worse, horrendously injury prone was sheer folly. Don't expect any of the anthill mob to come in and defend him after he was immediately branded a snake and a rat for leaving.

18 Jun 2020 09:34:10
25 Mill for any player from our league is robbery lol but the boy KT has class not a Ger here who wasn't glad to see him go, if he moves on from injury problems Al be happy to support him for Scotland.

18 Jun 2020 10:24:19
David Luiz was good eh?

18 Jun 2020 11:18:52
I'll start by saying imo anyway kieran tierney is a very good left full back. He's very injury prone though and we were told long before he signed for the arsenal, that he had big problems with his pelvis and hip and that came from john Kennedy's uncle, who i used to work beside. They don't call KT biscuit hips for nothing! One of his injuries wasn't unlike a similar injury to andy murray's, we were told.

18 Jun 2020 11:19:49
Luiz was MOTM fauldhoose bear 😂😂.

18 Jun 2020 11:43:09
No way coops 😂😂😂👍.

18 Jun 2020 13:53:39
Not interested in their eyes, he has never played for us and never will.

17 Jun 2020 21:35:33
Watching City vs Arsenal

Now I know that's a proper league and our "league" is a not far off a part time league but can someone tell me why the season was ended please?

Also while I'm asking questions was on the club website seen our boys training no

Morelos
Goldson
Bassey ?

17 Jun 2020 21:40:41
Bassey joins on 1st July and I’ve seen Goldson in pics haven’t seen Alfie.

17 Jun 2020 22:06:59
Goldson at training.

17 Jun 2020 22:16:14
Another bear, your asking why the league was ended, my opinion- it definitely shouldn't of been but ask Coldo, he gave up on Rangers and wanted it ended. It just doesn't make any sense to me why its been ended. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it as there was a vote and we all know how that ended. I'm very bitter about this my friend.

17 Jun 2020 23:37:03
Coldo is only stating a fact that rangers voted to end the season. I’m not happy about it but what can you do?

According to reports tonight the Jambos are not going to let it go. Just need to see how it plays out.

Personally I’m looking forward to fixture list, new strip, new signings, new pitch, hopefully SG has Some new tactics. Celtic have their tainted title so time to move on.

17 Jun 2020 23:53:38
Baz, no, Coldo stated we wouldn't of won, that's my argument. We'll never know now. Win our game in hand, beat them twice then we're only 4 points behind. There bottle would of crashed and we would of won the league. Is it only me who is being positive about this?

18 Jun 2020 07:55:06
I agree The Stuck. Who's to say we couldn't have flown out the traps while they stuttered? Is it not possible? It happened the other way and we have proved that we certainly are good enough at key times. It is never over till it's over imo.

On a side issue the whole thing with the cloak and dagger stuff and the dodgy did they, will they, won't they voting farce peppered with some incredible media statements and agendas have left a rancid taste in my mouth. No wonder the rest of the football world laugh at us. Surreal.

18 Jun 2020 04:03:45
Rangers and hearts did "NOT" vote to end the season. Why are there still bears out there that believe this notion that rangers voted to end the league. They abstained from voting same as hearts after the debacle of the first vote and subsequent internal investigation joke.

18 Jun 2020 10:38:47
C'mon lads, no chance we would have caught them. 👍.

18 Jun 2020 10:49:35
Stuck, not once did I say I wanted it ended 👍.

18 Jun 2020 11:05:33
Stuck, agreed I am mistaken. Rangers voted against finishing the season early back in April - part of the Dundee late vote fiasco.

However, in May when Celtic were declared champions the SPFL said all Premiership clubs were unanimous in that decision 🤷‍♂️That would suggest that Rangers agreed with the decision. If you know otherwise more inclined to go with you than SPFL.

18 Jun 2020 12:03:39
Correct Baz👍.

17 Jun 2020 18:11:02
How can we play this with all these players who have left the club that were part of the Europa squad . let alone no competitive games beforehand . think its time for rangers to get the spfl and eufa into the courts. this is totally against any sort of fairness or sporting integrity and now eufa are at it. what a joke.

17 Jun 2020 18:35:51
We can't have it both ways, majority said null and void for the league- if that happened in Europe there were no more games anyway. So now if Europa goes ahead use it as a chance to get match sharp against a very decent side. No as if we had much hope of going through anyway.

17 Jun 2020 18:40:45
Disgraceful, I think we should boycott the europa league until there is an enquiry into uefa. I mean how can liewell control uefa and the spl. Celtic are out of europe and here we have liewell getting it all his own way again. Its just not fair. 👍.

17 Jun 2020 18:46:38
Queens loyal we lost foderingham, Halliday and ojo.
We have option to add helander, Jones hastie Firth.
U r looking at this through blue glasses.

17 Jun 2020 19:03:54
Same of hope of winning the league snell.

As if anyone on here would look at things through blue glasses john👍.

17 Jun 2020 19:21:02
Must be some sort of Scottish record for the longest run in a European competition? 😜👍.

17 Jun 2020 19:33:10
And I have never said I thought we would claw it back Coldo mate. Also haven't got involved in the did we/ did we not vote debate. Replied to a post the other day stating what happens if a match is abandoned and posed the question why do different for a league? But don't think we would have won anything and also don't buy into the total anti rangers agenda, agree with your points re: the board kind of showed themselves up for what it's worth.

17 Jun 2020 19:47:53
I never said you did, I'm simply using the valid point you made to make a point regarding the title mate. 👍.

17 Jun 2020 20:45:09
I'm saying we could of won the league, and why not. We were mathematically still in it. I'm a very positive person and fail to give in . Unlike some on here who fling the towel in early. I really don't understand that. Coldo - why did you concede the league?

17 Jun 2020 21:27:28
Because we weren't in the race to win it. Our season was finished before the lockdown. There was plenty on here who wanted Gerrard sacked after the hamilton game and now that they were awarded the title all of a sudden the same crowd believe we could have won it. You couldn't paint a brass neck on some folk👍.

17 Jun 2020 21:36:48
Nope it doesn't matter what sport you enjoy, what competition. Fact is we could of still won it. That's why Rangers did not vote for the league to end.

17 Jun 2020 22:04:45
Our initial vote was no, then we demanded an enquiry, once that was knocked out the park and our bluff was called regarding our 'evidence' we then agreed to end the league and award celtic the title. SFA then said that they would not pursue us for bringing the game in to disrepute. We wouldn't have won the league, the SFA are not fit for purpose nor are the out to get us. Uefa are not out to get us either. Finishing cup competitions for this season during next season is not an insult to sporting integrity either. Our board never covered themselves in glory either. There will always be an * next to their title, however the record books show that they have 9 and are now going for 10. Uefa or world don't care if we don't recognise 9*. They are going for 10 and we need to stop them. We need players better than dykes shankland cosgrove docherty tav to stop them. I hope morelos sorts his attitude out. If we get the morelos before the winter break then jackpot, however if we get the morelos after the winter break then we are in trouble. I hope Gerrard has learned a lot from last season and goes with two up top in the spl. We need a RB, CB, CM, RW, TM all with leadership qualities and a bit of dig. ✌👍.

17 Jun 2020 22:21:20
Coldo, oh dear - you quote " we wouldn't have won the league " we would of won our game in hand, beaten them twice, then were only 4 points behind. They would of collapsed and we would of won the league. What an inspiration you are. I'm glad I not as negative as you.

17 Jun 2020 22:45:48
We haven't got rid of that many yet Queens and I think some of their players are linked with a move too.

Wee thought here Leverkusen are bound to expect to be through. We somehow make it through we would have a chance of winning it as a mini tourney.

Would you sacrifice it for the League hypothetical I know.

17 Jun 2020 23:53:03
Evrything Coldo said is dead on the money and it's not being negative, it's being realistic.

18 Jun 2020 04:09:34
Coldo, rangers did not vote to end the league neither did hearts. They abstained their vote, the spfl only needed 75% of the vote to end it.

18 Jun 2020 10:42:59
Robbie for the last time, the initial vote was no, then we want an enquiry, didn't happen so we then agreed to end the league and award them the title. 👍

Stuck you're deluded mate👍.

17 Jun 2020 15:36:44
Can anyone tell me if Rangers voted to end the league or not?

17 Jun 2020 15:44:44
They never👍.

17 Jun 2020 15:50:09
Not mate vote was won with the dundee vote.

17 Jun 2020 16:23:01
We changed our vote to yes👍.

17 Jun 2020 16:40:43
Colds will set you straight guys!

17 Jun 2020 16:43:02
Why would Rangers need to change a vote after the result was declared?

17 Jun 2020 17:42:24
There wasn’t another vote the vote had been done before that last meeting so NO we didn’t change our vote coldo is wrong again.

17 Jun 2020 17:46:54
Coldo we abstained as did hearts mate.

17 Jun 2020 17:47:18
Coldo could you point us all in direction of this rangers yes vote to end the season surely its on Internet somewhere @coldo.

17 Jun 2020 17:57:54
Rangers 100% agreed to end the league along with the other 11 prem clubs include hearts that's why they won't win there court case as all clubs were made aware of relegation or nobody would get te prize monies and the new sponsor from sky would be void came down to money nothing else its in black and white.

17 Jun 2020 18:09:05
They vote ended the league. Why would Rangers change a vote for something that is done? Its totally pointless. It’s more likely that Rangers agreed to honour the vote. Thank god wee Sturgie isn’t running our club or we would be going round in voting circles for years to come!

17 Jun 2020 18:11:43
Must admit I thought both rangers and hearts abstained, as they only needed 10 votes to carry it.

17 Jun 2020 18:35:28
Yip we did agree to end the league big blue bear 100%👍.

17 Jun 2020 18:57:10
Coldo i reckon you just maje stuffup to make it sound like your in the know just my opinion tho.

17 Jun 2020 19:36:46
Never claimed to be in the know or have sources, I reckon the truth doesn't suit your agenda sirwalt. 👍.

17 Jun 2020 19:48:26
Coldo show us all were it states rangers voted yes really can't see iy anywhere on the net that will satisfy my agenda.

17 Jun 2020 20:11:23
When we lost the vote for an independant enquiry we agreed to end the season and award celtic the title. Big blue has already stated this above. Pretty sure it was stewart robertson that released the statement. We 100% agreed to end the season and award celtic the title. We changed our decision otherwise we'd still be persuing the matter with our 'evidence'. 👍.

17 Jun 2020 12:47:54
I see that the SPFL Board Muppets are looking to agree to pay BT Sport £2.3 Million for ending the season early, maybe Celtic will help with that, aye right, total shambles of an organisation.

17 Jun 2020 13:19:23
On top of that they'll have legal fees to pay with Hearts and Partick Thistle. On top of that if Hearts have a case then they'll have to suspend the premiership start date. Again, what a load of clowns. They are a total embarrassment to Scottish football.

17 Jun 2020 13:35:32
Stuck, Hearts and Partick will win the case against spfl no question about it. Aimes in french league 1 won their case so, the president has been set.

17 Jun 2020 13:49:51
The total cost could be close to £20m and for me it simply goes to prove the total ineptitude of the entire SPFL Board. Doncaster at £300k a year is nothing short of a joke and having guys from Clubs like Brechin City on the Board simply confirms everything that is wrong with our game. The next instalment should be fun when the SPFL is faced with the bill! If they ask every club to foot the bill on an equal basis which is the only fair way, (since each club only has one vote), then it will put 2/ 3rds of them out of Business. If they do it any other way, for example, only asking the top flight to share the costs then they have to change the Voting process. At the end of the day whatever they choose to do, Doncaster should be sacked!

17 Jun 2020 14:03:56
Totally agree Berkshire, the SPFL are not up to governing league football. Root and branch change needed.

17 Jun 2020 14:23:16
Aimes in france won their case because clubs weren't given the chance to vote. SPL teams voted to end the season. 👍.

17 Jun 2020 14:49:14
Spot on BerkshireBlue. Not only Doncaster But the whole Board should be sacked if possible. It’s very worrying times ahead for Scottish football 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.

17 Jun 2020 15:11:56
Irvger please don’t use my name in vain 😂.

17 Jun 2020 15:16:30
Coldo french courts decided LFP directors couldn't justify their decision to relegate both teams on a sound legal footing, that it was an arbitrary decision considering the standings could have been different if the C.V. hadnt led to the league shutting down earlier and because no established protocol to deal with such events exsisted. Hearts who did not acknowledge the vote are in dispute with spfl in an near identical situation. Remember hearts didn't acknowledge the vote with a vote.

17 Jun 2020 15:16:32
Coldo not true Belgium and France both voted apparently and they won the case.

17 Jun 2020 15:18:17
Sorry it was Belgium that was that voted on it and the teams have won the case, I read it wrong about the French unsure if they voted or not.

17 Jun 2020 15:21:34
Coldo not so sure that is the deciding factor from a legal perspective. I think the vote regardless of it being in favour of ending the season early is still open to question and more importantly from a Hearts point of view I think the rules of the game have been broken by ending the season early and demoting teams whilst there are still games to be played. One cannot just create new rules regardless of the situation, especially when those rules cause financial harm to others. Hearts will win, massive legal bill plus compensation coming, and the possibility that Hearts will be reinstated and what that means in terms of the league starting without them! SPFL acted irresponsibly just look at all the other leagues, playing to a conclusion or void.

17 Jun 2020 15:55:02
coldo, the ONLY reason our season was finished so early was to give them the title. Why they wanted the title awarded so early can only be speculated on but for me it was to do with the adidas deal they had struck. I'm here to be shot down on that but its what I believe. The league should have been null and void, it was the only fair thing to do, there would have been faces out of joint but no serious financial hardships caused by the decision. To say we should accept and move on is ludicrous, with things developing all the time who knows where it will all lead.

17 Jun 2020 16:00:35
Ha, Ha The Muppet, listen mate, I wouldn't associate rats with that lot, total scumbags. Apparently in court the Dundee voting scam will also be raised, that alone should get him sacked, as he won't squirm his way out of it in a Court of Law.

17 Jun 2020 16:26:09
French teams never got a vote👍.

17 Jun 2020 16:31:36
But Doncaster and Co are doing a brilliant job of running the SPFL.
Well according to Liewell, all the Tims and Coldo has given them the thumbs up seal of approval. 👍😜.

17 Jun 2020 16:48:22
Not once have I said that tupac, they should be sacked, they have ruined the reputation of our game. 👍.

17 Jun 2020 17:43:25
Coldo Belgium teams did and same outcome ass French 👍.

17 Jun 2020 19:07:00
I never said anything about belguim KJA9👍.

17 Jun 2020 19:52:21
The Cost Case should be interesting. Apart from anything else, Brechin City's situation will be interesting! Not relegated when other clubs were and interestingly, they have a representative on the Board. Then you have a similar argument as regards Hearts with Hamilton Accies on the Board and a Team that would have been at risk of relegation had the Season been played to an end. Indeed how will the SPFL be able to defend the case since I seem to remember previously that they used the argument of legal costs when arguing against the Independent Review and they won't get off with the full Legal costs if, or more likely when they lose. We might see one or two resignations in very quick succession!

17 Jun 2020 09:27:06
Hi guys n gals,
I see the EPL restarts tonight, like so many other European leagues they are playing behind closed doors with social distancing.
If only they were as wise and caring as our football muppets oops administrators and ended their leagues awarded titles/ relegation etc.
Thank goodness Scotland has doncaster liewell etc to look after us, or should that be look after themselves.
Roll on an enquiry.

17 Jun 2020 09:49:09
We don't have the evidence for an enquiry, we went down that road and ended up making ourselves look silly. Then we voted yes to end the season. We should have stuck to our guns and voted no. 👍.

17 Jun 2020 09:58:14
Was a bit tounge in cheek cold but lm sure you took it that way.
We could l agree have been a bit more stoic in our approach.

17 Jun 2020 10:04:49
Spot on coldo, why did we vote yes 🤔.

17 Jun 2020 10:17:21
It’s amazing the amount of people who believe we voted to end the season. We didn’t!

17 Jun 2020 10:55:09
Coldo unless the spfl buckle and compensate hearts handsomely to the tune of millions (out of spfl pot) then their legal action can possibly include having all voting members taking the stand and answering questions on the botched vote. personally I would love to sit back and see Jim nelms, doncaster and McClellan uncomfortably having to describe in detail, under oath, how the dundee vote changed from yes to no👍.

17 Jun 2020 11:06:18
Yeh looking after themselves,

17 Jun 2020 11:49:28
NRD we did vote to end the season and award celtic the title. 👍.

17 Jun 2020 11:52:44
To make things worse, the SPFL are to pay BT Sport £2.3 million compensation for ending the season early. You couldn't make it up!

17 Jun 2020 12:03:31
coldo why no evidence? there was evidence and it was ignored. obviously by you as well.

17 Jun 2020 12:06:03
coldo we couldn't have loans but now we can. we would have had compensation to pay. now we have anyway and we all just paid for cfc title by a railroaded vote. now which sand do you stick your head in?

17 Jun 2020 12:18:26
Eric, the whole debacle absolutely stinks and Coldo won’t admit it. The way that that first vote was conducted was disgusting and Doncaster and Liewell going around threatening clubs was wrongl!

17 Jun 2020 12:19:57
Eric why you on about loans? If we had evidence we would have shown it👍.

17 Jun 2020 12:44:07
Clubs must be doing pretty well finically in SPFL. That’s £10m paid out to broadcasters which wasn’t disclosed, court case expenses to be paid for case with hearts and Thistle plus possible compensation to be paid to hearts, Thistle, Stranraer and 2 lowland league clubs. That’s it for now.

If league is postponed due to the court case sky will want to renegotiate their terms meaning even more cash down the drain.

This is called poor corporate governance.

Rangers did their best to inform the clubs but they were ridiculed by SPFL board and other clubs.

17 Jun 2020 12:52:02
I go back to another post I made this morning, the Brechin City situation will come back and haunt this SPFL Board, how the heck they did not get relegated with Either Brora or Kelty stepping up is beyond me, this is what will sink them in my opinion.

17 Jun 2020 12:53:26
Yately I haven't said that the original vote doesn't add up, not once. Neither have I said that celtic deserve it. Can't you read? What I have said is that if we had evidence then why have we not come out with it? I have also said that celtic would have won it anyway regardless if it is still mathematically possible for us to win it. People want enquiries when we voted yes. If it was that dodgey then why did we vote yes? I also called out the paranoia that everyone is out to get us nonsense. I called out your hysterical desperate claim at the spl were corrupt by allowing celtic to play this years cup games next season, then it turns out uefa will allow us to play this years games next season. You ran into hiding and never answered my question regarding uefa being corrupt or was that because it didn't suit your agenda? Now you're hanging off other posters trying to have a go at me. Do yourself a favour and at least have the integrity to quote me properly instead of making stuff up and maybe find it in yourself to answer my original question. ✌👍.

17 Jun 2020 13:40:25
irvger - Then again you could easily make a case that Bonnyrigg Rose could have finished champions ahead of Kelty.

Impossible to satisfy everybody.

17 Jun 2020 13:54:38
The fun and games are yet to start although I doubt that Doncaster and Co having to swear to tell the truth will make much difference. The guy wouldn't know the Truth if it hit him in the face! Corrupt to the core which the Brechin City situation simply confirms!

17 Jun 2020 16:48:54
Coldo, I actually did send a reply which was not posted saying that our league should have been played to a finish like most leagues in Europe and not railroaded through by Doncaster and Liewell, meaning we wouldn’t be playing in Europe going into a new season which is totally wrong. Agenda? I just want all clubs treated fairly👍👍👍👍.

17 Jun 2020 19:42:45
But uefa are playing this years games next season, is it not fair if we play this years europa game next season? Why can't the sfa play this years games next season? Is it because you're agenda is a desperate attempt to stop celtic winning a treble. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.

17 Jun 2020 20:25:15
I admit defeat and you are right👍.

18 Jun 2020 00:39:36
Coldo the emperor is naked, if u think for 1 minute that anyone here actually believes your a rangers fan after looking at all your anti rangers typing then your a bigger clown than coco on steroids.
