Mod Post: A reminder to folks that trying to bait supporters by posting alternate names for a football club may lead to a yellow card. Folk are welcome to post in any superthread they wish to, but nobody is free to use superthreads or this forum in general as somewhere to try and bait/flame/troll other posters.

The transfer window slammed shut in Scotland last night two days before it closes in England and most other places around Europe. There are those saying that the window closed early because the SFA made an admin error when handing out a transfer ban to The The Rangers and the window closed early in order to make the embargo effective. Was wondering what your thoughts were on that?

The men in charge of our game are a complete and utter joke, and although you guys know that, many of you have willfully ignored it for a couple of years because of the Rangers situation. That'll come back to haunt us all.

Rangers were forced to pay the legal costs, against the ruling of a judge. 3. Rangers were forced to stay silent on the contents of this agreement. Those are just the 3 worst points for me, tons of other stuff in there that wouldn't hold up in any court.

Further to the announcement on 4 September 2013, the Company confirms that whilst the Board's discussions have continued with representatives of the group who requisitioned (together the "Requisitioners") a general meeting to consider the proposed resolutions ("Requisition") detailed in the announcement on 2 August 2013 ("General Meeting"), the Board is disappointed to announce that no agreement has been reached. Unless an agreement can be reached prior to 13 September 2013, as set out in the announcement on 2 September 2013, the Company will be required to send a notice to shareholders to convene the General Meeting by no later than 13 September 2013.

Scottish football is a joke. A 1 game ban for every time you bet against the team you play for.
