Easy finish for City, Man U v Chelsea 3rd last game. Dunno this time

DEV^S · 18-Jun-2012, 13:21

liverpool have one difficult start to the season.

Orange · 18-Jun-2012, 14:05

Better to have Liverpool's annual fit of optimism dismissed as early as possible to avoid later heartbreak.

gil · 18-Jun-2012, 17:35

City, United and Arsenal in the first four games :S

jimbobaggies · 18-Jun-2012, 17:52

Don't forget Albion away first game....

Brocken · 18-Jun-2012, 19:02

We're 6th \o/

stepper · 19-Jun-2012, 21:54

Well here's one player who won't be starting this season:

Be warned, this is pretty graphic..

Ouch!

aird · 26-Jun-2012, 21:35

7 players have walked away from us. I'm fed up of this season already.

Heh. There should never really have been any other scenario than Rangers starting from the third division. Still havent seen anything remotely like an apology or contrition

That beach footy injury.. ouch .. but surely it's the knee cap just been popped off. Granted I dont know how serious that is long term, but it's not as if the leg was shattered or anything?

Orange · 27-Jun-2012, 05:33

Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised, I was pretty sure the SPL clubs would fold and let them back in at the expense of principle.

Fulmineus · 27-Jun-2012, 08:00

Principle's a big price to pay for halving the value of the league in terms of sponsorship, TV rights etc surely?

Fulmineus · 27-Jun-2012, 08:04

If they're going to start from the bottom anyway, surely this is the perfect time for Rangers to join the English leagues, which 'they' bleat about so often?

Yep. Nice change from the norm in football I think.

I think there's other issues to deal with in terms of moving to English football, but I agree there's unlikely to be a better time.

Hot Soup · 27-Jun-2012, 11:02

I'd be surprised if they havent investigated the possibility. And given they've got a three year European ban anyway , starting at the bottom end of whichever league shouldnt be too much of a factor. Plus there are already more than a few Welsh clubs in the English leagues , so precedent and all that!

I doubt it will happen , but who knows! As the for the money , aye just about everybody will take the hit , but I'd rather see that happen and the league still have some kind of credibility than continually bend over backwards to keep them in.

Sky / ESPN have apparently said the TV will be unaffected.

Eja Cool8 · 27-Jun-2012, 14:26

...and it's looking a lot like Glasgow Rangers will be voted out of the SPL and binned down to the First or even Third Div.

Here endeth the lesson.

HooT · 27-Jun-2012, 16:28

Good.

AVBy !

HooT · 03-Jul-2012, 16:47

Good spot for AVB - Hope he does well. Deserves a shot.

Badger Man · 03-Jul-2012, 17:04

I think he may suit their style of football a bit better, we shall see.....

cunning-stunt · 04-Jul-2012, 18:00

Robin van Persie wont sign a new contract at the Gooners.

Fulmineus · 04-Jul-2012, 19:55

Can't really blame him.

gil · 12-Jul-2012, 17:17

Portsmouth will start the season on -10 (if they start at all).

Ashen · 12-Jul-2012, 17:22

As a Pompey surporter I just want someone to put a bullet in the clubs head, its fucked completely and utterly fucked

Eja Cool8 · 12-Jul-2012, 18:07

Big SFL vote v. Rangers tomorrow, to see which division they get shunted into.

Please let it be the third, so the Gers fans can have the joy of going to places like Arbroath, Elgin and sunny Stranraer where they'll be lucky to fit 1000 of them in

I feel your pain mate. Grew up 5 minutes from Fratton Park - It's tough to see the club in its current state..

SFA to come out now say they're rejecting it. Start up SPL 1 and 2 and put us into SPL 2.

Smoo · 13-Jul-2012, 14:29

The manager and the fans didn't want special treatment, so I'm happy with the third division. Dark day for Rangers, if not Scottish football in general, but Fiorentina came back and so will we.

Orange · 13-Jul-2012, 14:49

Bollocks they didn't.
