Croatia = separatists. Spain = Unionists. Yo soy Español, Español, Español!

Since 2015, despite the scant success on the pitch, the support have been amazing in their continued loyalty. Hugely important aspect for the club and finance. Edit. It is exceptional support. A comparison. The league titles that John Greig (congrats on CBE) played in during the 70's had Ibrox often not even half full.

Congratulations to John Greig, the man who was voted 'The Greatest Ranger', by supporters, people who knew -and some still know- what that term 'Ranger' meant. Personally, I think that he should have had a knighthood, and that some years ago.

No club anywhere allocates their whole stadium as season tickets.

If he was an excellent manager, he most definitely wouldn't be back with that lot. Brendan still thinks he should be managing in the EPL ,but had no offers, he is on the slide .

Not good for us. As well as being an excellent manager, he knows what he is coming into to and we won't get the potential benefit of a newbie struggling to find his feet.

Absolutely, never done Super Mo or Kenny Miller any harm.

Yes.

Probably the same guy who drafts the contracts with apparel suppliers.

Seen a few links to DoF's the last couple of days so thought I'd post on this topic, here's a solid link from Jordan Campbell on an ex NI and Arsenal player/development worker. Shame Campbell stopped reporting exclusively on Rangers for the Atheltic, it was geniunely excellent Rangers content and journalism. What do you guys think? Seems like an intriguing and encouraging link to me.

Nope, if they sell 250 they pay for 250, and we need to take the hit for the other 550 unsold tickets as police wont allow us to make the visiting fans area any smaller in that corner area. I have always been of the mindset that away fans should be in the highest corner of the club deck, out of sight of the tv cameras, and then you can make the area to suit the ticket sales, have a few rows for segregation and be able to sell a few hundred more to our own fans, and having our own fans in that corner (UB perhaps?) Having travelled a lot abroad with our team, the highest ugliest corner of the stadium is almost always where you end up, (including at the piggery of course) so dont know why we provide a lovely wee corner stand area for our opponents.

Just applied it now. Only took a minute. If it persists try clear your cache and cookies. But they did acknowledge an issue which that out of band patch should fix hopefully. Bf

They have acknowledged a cookie problem mate. Just saw an out of band patch for it this morning. I will apply it tonight. It may also annoying with the cookie message.

doesn't matter how they are allocated we should not be sending eight hundred to that lot give them nothing

In the old days I was a Scotland fan. These days I couldn't give a flying f**k

That's a great victory for Scotland.

Any idea when we go back to pre-season training? I know Beale was wanting most of his transfer work done for day 1, it is usually towards the end of June is it not? While I don’t know any of the players we have signed, I am very pleased that now we’ve got rid of the useless Wilson, we no longer take months to close a deal and we have captured a few of our targets early. As with all new signings I don’t know, I don’t care to read their stats or YouTube clips, I wait to watch them in proper action (not friendlies!) to assess them so I wish the newbies well and look forward to our first proper game to see them. Hopefully we are able to strengthen some key areas further and sell a lot of the players deemed unrequired by MB.

SerieA had a representative in all 3 European Finals (all lost) and Napoli were an outstanding team as we witnessed to our cost in the CL. I'd say it's the best / strongest it's been for a few years.

Shifting the Goal Posts. Touring around coastal Galicia is quite the thing, you arrive at another near deserted bay to find a shack willing to provide a Board of Pulpo and a large glass of the local Albarino for 10 Euros. I was on the southern side of Baiona two days past and found a Hotel Glasgow, three star spa by the Atlantic edge. Now, their Pulpo is served on a wooden Board accompanied with thickly sliced tattie. A generous dousing of Piementos Pecantes, then quickly baked in a woodfire oven. The acidity of the Albarino is the very dab. This week's PQ mutterings are brought to us by Podcast, thus a heavily Edited statement of intent. The acidity in Off the Ball is a product of it's terroir. Pat Nevin was first up on Saturday, he has a book to punt. Both broadcast and print media have been accommodating Pat for nearly a month. It is a follow up to his first tome and Pat hints at a trilogy. We know Pat is a literary addict and a Muso' because, he keeps telling us so. Ten days ago in the Guardian, Pat was telling all about life with an adult son, Simon who has autism. Now, given RAB Cosgrove's lad, Jack endures the same condition; you think a highlighting of the condition will ensue. No. Pat is a long term big wheel at Chelsea, thus an insight into Michael Beale? No again. How about something current like Pat's time at Celtic Boys' Club and, that interview he gave to BBC Scotland last November and still not broadcast? Still no. Pat regaled us with tales of the Fir Park sixteen yard box, a Fir Park crossbar that was four inches closer to the ground on one side and, John Boyle was way-out whacky. The best bit was saved for last, his one year tenure at Rugby Park. Pat claimed it his happiest year in football. As the close season arrived a young Killie player(no names, no pack drill) approached and after telling of his impression at Pat's conduct with his fellow Youths, he asked Pat and his wife to attend his wedding? He told of it being held at the family home, a reception mainly in the garden. Pat told of his honour at the invite and then his ghast was flabbered as the lad said, "will you stay in the garden throughout, ma Da doesn't like catholics in the house". Token Tam cut across saying, "ah, Pat ends with a tale from Scotland's past". Pat replied, "the past"? Sunday had the return of RAB's near Dennistoun neighbour, Susie McCabe. If you care to look back, Susie is no stranger to similar stories of the Pat ilk. Further, she likes to beat the drum for Nicola and Nationalism. Not on Sunday, I suspect the drum remains locked up in the Murrel Motorhome? Susie was the foil to RAB's slashing sabre. RAB raised the Hootsmon piece penned by The View from the Terrace regular, Joel Sked. This is a first, RAB sees the Terrace lads as competition and, in his 71st year does not like sharing Auntie Beeb's meagre rewards. However, Sked had given all Scottish Premiership sides a mark out of ten for their season and RAB liked it. Sellik scored nine out of ten, the only downside being Europe and, Susie was quick to agree after, "all the trophies are in our cabinet". Aberdeen scored eight out of ten; yep they secured third on the basis of a seven match winning run but, were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by a team from the sixth teir of the game, Darvel. You might see the flaws appearing? Herts and Hibs were both fives, St Johnstone was a four and, RAB went on at length agreeing with the mark. RAB ended with, "Dundee United received one from ten whereas Rangers were awarded three". No discussion, just quiet sniggers all round. Last season, Rangers achieved something no other Scots club has achieved in twenty years, qualification for the Champions League group stages. Played four games against more than decent opposition, Union St Gillois and PSV. We won through by defeating USG 3-0 and PSV 0-1 away in Eindhoven. We added most to the Scottish Euro coefficient for the fourth season running. Sellik go straight into the CL groups because of points secured by Rangers(Susie did not mention that), Joel Sked's own darlings, the Hearts made group stage in the Conference groups because of Rangers points(Joel did not mention that) and, RAB's beloved Scottish football sits ninth in the Euro rankings largely because of Rangers. He could not tell you who we played and defeated these last five years because like the rest of PQ - the achievements were deliberately ignored because of BBC Scotland's feud with Rangers. When Pedro stood in the Luxembourg shrubbery, everyone of those bastards were quick to lament the effect on the national coefficient. They have shifted the goal posts on that but, Joel Sked has learned a lesson at the knees of RAB - stick it on the H-u-ns and you will be subject to greater amplification. .
