  1. No, your post is testament to a reply, but you evaded the question so I will ask it again........ 53 Titles luck...fate...or historical fact, that which simple people like myself know as history.
  2. Win ? you are taking the piss but not very well, the previous posts were obviously over your head, here's a little tester for you...what do you call 53 titles ..luck or history...
  3. I don't have to ask any question, I know and knew the values of Struth, Symon and Lawrence, simply Rangers values, I have said all I intend saying on this subject, I am comfortable with my view on Rangers and our history and traditions, if others are not that is their prerogative.
  4. No I see it as history and tradition, pure and simple.
  5. The pen is mightier than the sword, thought is the mother and father of all creation. ETA......there are many mature people who do not have the experience of the most callow youth, because the youth has learned from experience and the elder has not.
  6. I always think of the words of Pastor Martin Niem�¶ller, when I hear that objection or complaint is pointless, by registering ones displeasure or objection, we create a ripple, which if enough ripples come together make up waves and then torrents and then overwhelming tsunami.
  7. There is nothing I can change, for football has gone beyond the reach of the fans, I think Ken Bates once referred to fans as a necessary evil. However the marketing men from sky and other media outlets are far to savvy to bite the hand that feeds them, they have taken control of the game here and will I think eventually destroy it, Man City, who are acting as Murray did all those years ago, are well on the way to helping tv achieve that result. Supporters are powerless anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded, Barca are trying to avoid bankruptcy, will UEFA ban them or censure them, not on your life. The lunatics really have taken over the asylum.
  8. Where do you want to start..loyalty, integrity, pride, a sense of belonging to something that we could all look up to as our own establishment, aloof from interference of daily restrictions on our normal lifes. A Club we would put our hard earned into and know it was being used for the betterment of our club, players that knew the honour and privelege that playing for Rangers is. Sadly the club has become a cash cow for greed ridden players and a bauble for the owner to be used for his own ends, the fans are led were this pied piper takes them, John Lawrence would not have let him in the door at Ibrox, and I doubt the Struths or Scot Symons of this world would have given him house room. Changes indeed but not for the better IMHO.
  9. You see it as utopia, I see it as respect for the traditions and history of our great Club, Rangers.
  10. I can encapsulate all of our history and tradition in one word, Rangers. Rangers are the history and the tradition, from inception, the Club came before all else, its health and well being was and should still be above that of mere mortals. It gives me no pleasure to say that the "Club above all" tenet, has been sadly diluted under the present incumbents, a sorry state of affairs indeed.
  11. No one is saying anyone is a better or worse supporter than anyone else, only someone unsure of their own strength of allegience would broach such a view. Rangers are as I said built on traditions, it is a pleasure for me to respect those traditions. Our present incumbents use the word "tradition" all to easily and in a throw away manner, they were entrusted with a duty, which was to nurture and pass these traditions on down through the club, they have failed miserably. Rangers will still be Rangers long after they and I are gone, of that I am certain.
  12. I don't believe MF blamed Rangers supporters for the ills of society, he simply pointed out the change in the attitude of the support, the majority now have known nothing other than Murray. Rangers is built on tradition, some of us still hold those traditions dear...no one, manager, owner, player or fan is or ever will be bigger than or above those traditions, despite the mismanagement of Murray and divisory tactics of him and his paid cohorts. Rangers are Rangers, simples.
  13. He appears to have lost a bit of weight, a prerequisite for that type of injury, as the repaired shock absorber never for some strange reason is able to absorb its former pre-injury loads.
  14. The knee problem has very hopefully been cured. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/mar/13/james-beattie-stoke-city
  15. You take it correctly, many a true word spoken in jest, let's hope he isn't another Prodan.
  16. I have been reliably ? informed, that the offer to RV is still on the table, but that it is the full and final offer.
  17. Smith said. “The problem is that currently we can’t offer anything to the boys who are out of contract at the end of the season". Aye right.
  18. 34 years at the helm of Rangers and a trophy haul that would make a blind man's eyes water, says Mr Struth was right and you are wrong.
  19. As it is in quotations, can it be classed as a rumour, jouralistic licence, or untrue, or worse true, quotations usually points to the latter.
  20. Take it or leave it. Bain confirmed: “We have withdrawn from negotiations with Nikica Jelavic.” Portsmouth administrator Andrew Andronikou backed club manager Steve Cotterill’s stance that hitman Smith shouldn’t be sold. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/192953/Rangers-chase-strike-ace-James-Beattie
  21. Lafferty...??????????
  22. The rich get richer and the normal working bloke gets his works van fitted with a tracker, so he can be charged for using it to take the missus for the shopping, what a feking twisted society.
  23. Smiths "patchy" use of goalscorers was most evident in big games that he didn't want to give away the point we started with.
