    I do as well, we all do. But if we want to persuade people on board a starting position of 'you're not a real fan' isn't likely to work!!

    Och well, you canny fling shite at the walls in someone else's house.

    You have to wonder who it is that cheers the players at Ibrox. Davie Cooper was my first hero (well, actually it was Jim Bett - I thought he was on a different planet passing wise, but he sodded off) and we're told (by Spiers, admittedly) that we used to shout abuse at him for being lazy. Then Terry Butcher came and turned what was a chore into a dream. He is now treated as a leper by some. Sandy Jardine was apparently not Mr Popular until his illness. McCoist must be slated because he does charity work for Sciaf. Now Gough is a money grabbing so and so. There's dB, Darther and Brahim, all of whom for various reasons are willing to tolerate the board. Intelligent guys with coherently argued views (not that I agree with them). Then there's the yappy wee dugs who are called out whenever anything board related is in the news. It's not hard to spot the difference and it's not easy to resist the obvious conclusion that some people are working to order. Maybe, to rest my suspicious mind, they could stand up at the game this weekend and let us know, in loud voices, what they think of all these (and, no doubt, many other) turncoat lickspittle former Ibrox heroes. I'd love to see the reception - who knows, maybe they are right!

    Well, you're no going to get it anytime soon, sorry.

    Totally, Zap - that bit about not wanting to invest is feeble manipulation of what he said, which is that he'd be happy if others ponied up the dosh so he didn't have to. I dunno if I'm totally convinced by King but I absolutely know how I feel about the board.
  6. andy steel
    Just because people disagree with you doesn't mean they're not fans. It's far from simple for a lot of people and creating extra divisions won't help those who back King to persuade waverers/fence-sitters/deluded board backers.

    Illegal or not, it looks terrible. Considering the collective wage of the 'officer class' at Rangers they are abysmal at projecting an impression of competence. They're like a government heading for a wipe out at an election, throwing out hastily conceived bad idea after bad idea which is greeted with suspicion and/or hostility due to their previous actions. Hopefully.

    I suppose its the danger you run when you have fans of other teams as your officers. There's no comprehension of what is and isn't an acceptable standard. Either that or they're just at it.

    Points taken Craig & TinMan, and I acknowledge yous know much more about this than I - not a proud boast, given my knowledge is zero, but true enough anyway. Just the same, it doesn't sit right. I kinda held us to be better than your average business. Of course now I know better but it leaves a bad taste just the same.

    Hard to argue with that - even a week ought to be long enough to come to a decision. What sucks is the unseemly haste with which the board - who don't need any cash in the medium term, remember - are trying to get the cash in. So fed up with their bull.
  11. andy steel
    Still not sure this bit: "A harsh reality of business is the first such payments that should cease when any company has cash shortages are anything to HMRC" does us many favours. Perilously close to justifying Whyte!

    Mate, I'm struggling to work this out. You are willing to call Trading Standards on Rangers over travel insurance, yet are calm about lobbing another tranche of ST monies at a corporate structure which has done much, much worse?
  13. andy steel
    I'm no expert but it seems we spent double what we earned.

    You'll take our German from 1950's war movies and like it, meine freund. Many Brits' knowledge of German is limited to 'Achtung Englander!', 'Raus', 'Schnell' and 'Guten Abend, Fraulein' (this last usually spoken by a gentlemanly, polite, Wehrmacht officer who looks with disdain upon the hoodlums of the SS or Gestapo). Military enthusiasts can sometimes throw in a Schmeisser, Luger, Messerschmidt or panzerfaust, while mention of the Focke-Wulf FW190 always raised a childish snigger, but expecting us to get grammar correct is going too far.

    Well, he got a few goals when we were struggling to win a good few games. And he was the only bugger who could defend balls into the box as well. Probably we would have won the league without him but he certainly helped. Sorry for the late reply but I've been listening with a sardonic smile to Spence on the radio desperately trying to explain away celtc employing a racist.
  16. andy steel
    I agree the wage is too high but it's too much to call it theft, for me anyway. I'm not sure we'd even have staggered out of D3 without him.
  17. andy steel
    Maybe youse would have preferred him to walk away as well? No argument that he's past his best and replacing him would be a good move, but a bit of respect for someone who stuck by us.
  18. andy steel
    I quite fancy one of those, taking the family to the pictures has become insanely expensive in recent years.
  19. andy steel
    Given his showing last Sunday I'd be happier with Simonsen, to be honest.
  20. andy steel
    I'd argue with that - I've sen entire 90 minutes without anything approaching a good move, especially in the last 6 weeks or so. People are not girning for the sake of it, we are really terrible.
  21. andy steel
    In reply to the OP, yes, I do. I want him to stay and become a legendary Rangers manager, retire in maybe 2033 after being at Rangers for 50 years (we'll pretend the Killie period didn't happen). But it's not going to happen.

    That whoever wrote that refused to put their name to it says there's someone at the club left with some idea of what fans feel.
  24. andy steel
    Wow. & I thought we were apathetic.

    I've always liked you, Tom.
