Agreed to a certain extent on your first point, i also know the TA have an element we can do without along with Rangers. After that i dont care about any other group of fans but its likely we could say this for every support in the world. However my point was you questioned that i said 1 out of 40,000 made it a majority, i didnt say this was a majority, i just said it proves the point that these type of fan exsists. Whereas this was my exact argument with the TA - 1 out of every 40,000 doesnt make a majority. But 100% disagree with your comment Replace 'england flags' with Scotland flags and you've pretty much described the streotypical member of the tartan army..... Why does this describe a member of the TA. If i go to a Scotland game does this describe me and my mates? - I think you'll find it describes 1 of the small percentage of idiots we have. However at least the draped scottish flag is justified as they are going to see that team on display. The englisg flags round the neds we get with rangers support goes back to Calscots point that they are wearing an england because they think it makes them a bigger rangers fans.

About as good as Maths as you Cammy, you were the one classing a lot of the TA in the same boat due to 1 or 2 clowns out of how many hundreds of thousands??. But it still proves Calscots point that these type of fans are out there, do you think he would be the only 1 out there who does this? Thats narrow minded to think he would be. When you see neds with their bucky, draped in english flags, singing and making gestures its pretty obvious they are doing it to wind up opposition fans. And ive seen plenty of this at Rangers away games.

Boab stood out as one our best players a couple of times last season when Ferguson was out. Inverness away was 1 noted performance.

To the French anthem Ooo ah Paul Le Guen Ooo ah Paul Le Guen Ooo ah, Ooo ah, Ooo ah Paul Le Guen Ooo ah Paul Le Guen

If he signs I'll follow England for the rest of the WC And Chelsea next season

Offically signed. IMO that is a great signing for Liverpool. Bellamy is quick and knows how to score. Liverpools forward line was poor last season coz crouch, Fowler and Morientes arent quick and Cisse was out the picture. If Bellamy has the right head on which i think he will due to being a Pool fan, and if Fowler gets himself in shape, then they could be a deadly partnership next season especially with the midfield Liverpool have got behind them.

I think thats a good point and good way to look at it. However, i think because PLG is new and we are entering into a new era and we require a left sided player highly, id of thought he would of backed his new manager here.

I cant begin to imagine how much ot would cost over 25 years. For 1 season alone i was easy 1500 GBP for season ticket, travel to and from Glasgow and spending money.

Havent read the last few pages of this thread coz im at work but I agree with this point 100% for the majority of Gers fans. 1) I remember being at the league cup semi final in 1995/96 season at hampden - gers v aberdeen. I was in the section nearest the aberdeen fans and at half time both sets of fans were up against the dividing fence singing at each other. 1 gers fan turned round to us all and repeatedly shouted "lets sing Rule britannia at them because that really gets up there sheep shaggin noses"

They are the first bigger team to go out but they have been poor in there 2and and 3rd games. Every other group has really had the favourites going through, and the French could follow suit and head out, but i think they will be jammy and get out the group.

As Gav says, he's a comedian.

Brazil havent set anything alight but like england they have got through without doing much, and to score 4 without playing well shows they can turn it on when they want. Also like england they will perform better against bigger teams.

Oz are through! I fancied them to go thru aswell, i think they have as good a team spirit in there team as anyone else at the WC. Italy will be a tough test for them and i thnk Italy will have too much but i wouldnt put too much money on it.

Should be a cracking game as its the first time 2 big teams meet and its not meaningless. Czechs need a win as Ghana can better there result against USA and go thru whereas USA can still nick it if they win and Italy win. I fancy Italy to do enough to get a draw and go through, coz there is a chance if they lose they could go out.

Electricity would be a fine thing in Azerbaijan never mind a laptop

Get your priorities sorted out Frankie!!!

All the best to Boab, i was a fan of him, always thought he did well when in midfield. As for Rae, yes he's been unlucky with injury but i didnt think he was ever good enough for Rangers. My jury is out on FanFan, i dont actually think i know what he looks like yet But he can fit perfectly into Ecks flop XI and is a good partner in defence with Prodan for our all time flop XI.

When did Butcher leave Motherwell? I really was in another planet when i was away last month! As for Aberdeen away on the 23rd Dec, that couldnt of been better for me coming home on the 21st Dec!! Im delighted with that!!

Spot on again Colshy mate, you need to sack your contacts Cant say im too bothered about him signing for them, he stood out in a poor Birmingham team but couldnt even get near the chelsea bench.

People moan if the forums quiet and people moan if there is a few repeated debates. What difference does it make, we would still be posting them on 1 thread somewhere. If we did move it to 1 thread would we be asked to keep it to Pm's??

Id of loved to have seen everyone of there faces when Le Guen was announced. Look at the difference in Spiers' reaction on the 21st Feb to that of the 16th! He totally changes his tone in the space of 5 days to cover his embarresment.

Exactly! Im not having a go mate, but if im not interested in a thread somewhere i judt dont follow it. I just think myself and fellow poster(s) who are having a debate which is quite good shouldnt have it stopped and re-opened somewhere else.

Dont read them then! Simple as! And they are slightly different!

Nonsense Jon, i dont see any abusive or personal posts. Only good debate with all parties backing up points with argument. Thats what a forum needs. It doesnt have to be joking banter all the time.

Here you go again classing a mass group coz of 1 idiot, by saying the TA should have learned there lesson with France 98. This person isnt even a fan or a member of the TA coz for the TA to be there - Scotland need to be there. He is obviously just a drunken ned who comes from Scotland - Yes we have them but that by no means the hole TA are like that. As for this Russ Abbott dressing up - whats wrong with wearing scottish tartan with pride. I wouldnt do this but whats the harm? Its better than burberry baseball caps that english casuals wear! Also the aussie fans dressed up in yellow wigs with blown up kangeroos - are you going to have a go at them? Swedish fans have the swedish flag facepainted on them etc etc etc are you going to have a go at them? As for the TA being the Tims of international football - thats an insult to scotland supporters of rangers (where there are masses), aberdeen, dundee utd, hearts etc. We dont think we are the best, not far off it, but not the best. The majority go there to have a laugh with other countries and we will complement foreign fans. On the park we know we are nothing more than average and we accept this whereas england think they should be given the right to win every game. And you being a Rangers fan obviously cant stand timmy which means you cant stand the TA if thats what you think we are, hence once again classing everyone as one.
