see to be honest, we stood by gazza when he was punchin fak out his wife and he even managed to get himself voted into the greatest ever Rangers starting 11 (something i cant get my head around)

what about mcgregor and all his off field carry on? we stood by him

both gazza's crime andf what mcgregor was accused of are much worse than black having us on a betting slip

Not saying it shouldnt Zach, just trying to understand what the big issue here is??

For me, paying him off would be more hassle than its worth.....no football reasons attached to it in any way whatsoever coz I'm no a big fan of the man in any way.

Just think, if we sack him, he may have the goods on other players, might go to the media, might coz a $hitstorm.....club would get embroiled in all sorts,made to look as if a major betting problem existed within the club alone, when it is no doubt rife thorughout the entire game, all played out thorugh the media, more off field $hite for the tabloids to have a field day with.

Dont want that myself.

The club has been made an example of often enought the past couple of years.....gie him a slap on the wrist, dont do it again ya silly cant, get on with it, get the hedi done and work yer socks off, thats it, its done, much better for the club that imo

I'm with you Zach, scoring the winning goal is irrelevant the offence was commited when he placed the bet. The fact that other players put on coupons is also irrelevant , his offence was betting against his own team not putting on a line. finally, the Sfa have , again, made an erchie of it by fining him effectively a game a bet

there is slight justification though Zach

Sandaza had no right to go behind Rangers back and allow this "agent" to tout him for an MLS club for more money as he was being paid a fortune at Rangers and was awful, really awful

the club ended up paying him off to avoid a tribunal, the same would happen to Black who now looks like he is showing some of the form and reasons why we signed him

yes he too was terrible last season, but he also scored more than sandaza did, which says how $hite sandaza was

had sandaza been banging them in then i would have had no problem with him doing it through the right channels and not sneaky behind club's back

i know the caller weas a crank but sandaza#s intentions were heard

Imagine sacking a guy for putting a £5 bet on that wasn't just involving his own side.

It would be like getting the boot from your office job for stealing a bottle of tippex and some post-it notes.

If he had been gambling thousands on Rangers games and had actually tried to influence the game for his bet then fair enough, he'd be out. But he didnt.

He ticked a few boxes, entered £5 and clicked place bet without really thinking about it. He then went onto the field and smashed hit bet to peices by helping to win the game.

WTF has Gazza beating up his wife got to do with Black !?
Gazza was wrong, Black was wrong ...or most people would think so. You, Super, live with different standards to me . Black bet against Rangers whilst receiving a wage from them is wrong ! i reckon Rangers now may be thinking they've read the feelings of the support wrongly, hence the media staged crap from Black yesterday.

I'd just like to see a bit more substance to your point Zach other than "Black's playing well, Sandaza wisnae, hypocrisy"

Was two entirely different things, I dont think you can apply sacking players for various levels of misconduct in such a blanket manner

Two different regimes

I think if green had been there black would get sacked

At a time when our club is being dragged through the mud and everyone including McCoist says it needs cleansing, we had the chance to put down a moral marker and deal with Black as Symon,Struth,Wallace Souness and Smith would have. We haven't and it speaks volumes.

Interesting wee debate.

For me sandaza was harshly dealt with and we were wrong.

Black it still annoys me he bet against the club but I get the point that he scored the winner and perhaps didn't even know what box he ticked. Many people do put random coupons on apparently.

Have we put down a moral marker?

For all we know Black has a gambling addiction (common with many footballers apparently) perhaps why he was just putting on random coupons because he just had to have a bet on?

Would it be right to just throw him on the scrap heap in those circumstances. There has been internal disciplinary meetings apparently so we don't know the exact circumstances.

To sum up I think we got it right this time and wrong last time.

Ps he has lovely hair
