removed , after advice

Glad I went to bed , but for anyone interested read the Gallant Pioneers and you wont fail to be emotionally moved , it truly is inspiring and gives a wee insight into what these "traditions" we talk off actually are , for these young boys set the standard that would prove to be the rock upon which we were built and without these ideals there would be no Rangers .

I really hate to use the thanks button with your posts , so take this as a compliment lol

Pete , your missing the whole point of Rangers , I dont want to patronize you or any other fan but we are not any club , I read the gallant pioneers recently and was embaressed at how little I knew , forum's like vanguard bears are amazing though hard core they dont miss the point .The chapter on William MacBeath had me in tears on so many levels , but you wont find VB mentioned ever on FF ( banned yet again - non football this time and the last ), nor The Gallant Pioneers website. Mr Struth realised what it meant to be a Ranger , and what that sacred duty brought , unfortunately these over paid prima donna's dont

Nail on the head , I have been arguing this point for ages , why people cannot see it for themselves is beyond me.

From the film "The usual suspects" Who is David Murray? He is supposed to be a business man. Some say his father was a rangers supporter. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Jim Traynor tell it, anybody could have worked for Murray. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick that Murray ever pulled was convincing the world Rangers didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone.

Ah see where you are coming from , it should be ok he has played pre - season

We will soon find out , he's in the squad for tomorrow

You are quite correct , the problem lies soley between Raid , Zulte Wargeem and the player , if they want this to go through some one needs to blink . Does anyone know if he was named in the Austrians Europa league squad ?

You would love to think this was being done out of a long term plan , more likely is that we will become a dads army for the considerable future , selling guys like Bougherra and possibly Macgregor when bids come in . The likely hood is that older players such as Beattie will become the norm , we will no doubt have some success as we should be more than capable of at least holding our own up here in the SPl , Europe will be nothing more than a cash cow which though essential for our financial success will do nothing but hinder our domestic charge . Let's face facts we are not desirable to any outside investor bar one with a massive emotional attatchment , and they are few and far between . The club's only hope is to get itself together financially , Muir might be a godsend ( something I never thought I would say) , Murray being away definetly is , what we need is a plan , short , medium and long term and the people in place to carry that out , unfortunately we are let down at all levels , and we the fans must shoulder some of the blame as we allow it to happen . It's dead easy to come online and moan and shout . it's much harder to stand for what you believe in , unfortunately the Rangers fans love the moaning bit but aint so keen on the other . But let's look forward to the season ahead with some anticipation for one thing we are guarenteed with this squad/team is 100% , they may lack the ability of a Messi , in fact the way we play resembles a mess more often than not , but they give everything for the cause and as such I raise my glass/mug of coffee and say " here's to three in a row " WE ARE THE PEOPLE

He's signed , press conference called for this afternoon , cant get excited though

Unbelievable , I am starting to wonder if it is actually a site for Rangers fans , it's pathetic

There will be worse deals we will complete than this one , he deserves his new deal and at least is willing to stick around , fair play to him

done , however I wasn't as clever as pete , I wrote gersnet doh "!!!!!

when it comes to us there are so many it's simply baffling

Smith has never been very good with strikers Frankie ,however he has been very good at getting the best out of transfer's you thought would never work ,hopefully this is the same , well let's face it , it will need to be

Last year there were calls to get him back in the England set up , as long as he is in addition and not to replace anyone

nope the management team , and it wasn't second hand either

Simply because Walter talks off record to the press every day , just because it doesn't make it onto the back pages doesn't mean it hasn't happened . Waltrer is as much to blame in all this as anyone I agree , but on cetrtain things I believe him 100% Let's be brutally honest here , as a club we are an absolute shambles , we have the management team briefing against Muir on a near daily basis , we have Muir attempting to have wee cosey meetings and chats with certain supporters , it's a bloody shambles

There possibly was but the same scenario happened with Thomson , he wanted to stay but Smith told him he wouldn't be in a position to offer him a new contract , so he left . You either believe that the club ,Murray , Muir etc or you believe the management ,Smith Bain , I stick with Smith and Bain

That is simply not true mate , like everythinmg else Boyd's deal has become something of an urben myth , Muir never signed it off , simple as , even Smith at the end gave up hope of getting it done . However some even on here still shout from the stands about how lucky we are to have MUIR here .

We have a strict squad wage cap in place , we could bring in �£20 million in fees , the wages we can offer are governed by that figure , there is also a wage linit they will not go to , ie why the Eagles deal collapsed . There is one thing being run prudently which no one can argue with , however we have now gone way past that

So we have a �£16 million squad wage cap and next to hee haw to spend , but Muir's a great guy and it's all Smith and Bains fault because they cant bring Messi to the club for a tenner , jesus . In case you missed it Kenwyne Jones went for over �£9 million yesterday , we have about �£5million to get 3 players at least .

Make your mind up , when everyone was getting briefed about Muir , you were the one that constantly stood up foe him , now when we are in exactly the situation that was forecast you want to slaughter the club for it . A bit rich
