Disagree craig, it's all about opinions, Jelly is a much better player and brings more players into the game when he holds the ball up better than miller ever could and it's easy to say but I doubt he would've kept his scoring record going all through the season.

He was probably in the best form of his life but he wasn't good in all the games he played for us this season, in fact he was dreadful in quite a few. I don't think we would have been in a better position if he had stayed, it would still have been neck and neck to the final day.

it's only paper talk

It doesn't but it's better than him saying he wants to leave

It's only his opinion, don't see what's wrong with it. For it to be headline news here shows what a joke the media in this country are!!

So many stories and rumours coming from all over the place just now. I hope like everyone else it goes through asap but also think Whyte is doing the right thing and won't be taken for mug which is why it's taking so long. I used to be the opposite and didn't like folk posting any rumour for the sake of it but it's a forum and that's what keeps these places going I'm a lurker on FF and the rumours/posts from here are some of the best on there!!

can't do it at work but will when i get home tonight ..........no 35 i see just now

Exactly Pete and how long has this been going on for and no one has told us what they find is acceptable to sing and what is not yet they still lift fans when they want!

Same, get the bet on Ian You stopping for a pint, I have lager on draught now!!!!

Reading the RSTs statement they haven't replied to the 2 racist abuse cases of EHD so i doubt it mate...........

Rangers have to demand names from UEFA surely......

To me the statement says they do have something to hide otherwise what's the problem in naming them?

RANGERS supporters chief Stephen Smith believes being forced to play European matches behind closed doors would be a massive turning point in the Ibrox club's fight against sectarianism. Smith, the secretary of the influential Rangers Supporters Trust, was stunned to learn last night that Uefa have charged the Scottish champions for a second time as a result of their fans' conduct this season. He is deeply unhappy that Football Against Racism Europe - instead of Uefa's official match delegate at the Europa League game against PSV Eindhoven in Glasgow ââ?¬â?? appear to be responsible for this latest action being taken. But he thinks if the Gers are found guilty and do have to play money-spinning European games in empty stadiums it could finally force some supporters to think seriously about their actions. He said: "I think this is a watershed moment. We have got to sort our own act out. Not having done so yet is allowing people who are hostile to Rangers, who have their own agenda, to do things like this. "We have to sit down and reflect on our standing as a 21st century sporting institution. We have to talk to people who think bellowing abuse at the Pope on a match day is an expression of their Protestant faith and is acceptable "I don't think you would find any Protestant clergymen who would agree. They would tell you their faith is about positive aspects of Christianity, not about abusing some German guy who lives in the middle of Rome. "Rangers is a multi-racial, multi-ethnic club now on and off the park. Look at guys like Bobby and Satti Singh (the prominent Glasgow businessmen and diehard Rangers fans). They aren't Protestants, but they are just as passionate about Rangers as I am." Smith feels that for Uefa to punish Rangers for the actions of some of their fans would be excessive and unfair given the great lengths the Ibrox club has gone to stamp out the scourge of sectarianism in recent years. He said: "What more can Rangers reasonably be expected to do? They have done so much to address this problem. Personally, I am now in favour of people being lifted, charged, fined and banned from games. "Uefa punishing Rangers for this would be like pubs being punished for people fighting in the streets or drinks companies like Tennent's and Carling being punished for domestic violence. "Being punished for the actions of away supporters in Europe would be especially harsh. With budget airlines and the internet anybody can travel to watch Rangers. I myself have travelled independently to games on a number of occasions. "Many of the people who are attending away games in Europe purporting to be Rangers fans have no association with the club and patently don't care about it. So it would be hard to ask them to think about their actions no matter what, if any, punishment Uefa deliver." Smith questioned the impartiality of Fare ââ?¬â?? who he revealed have ignored communication from the RST about the racist abuse suffered by El Hadji Diouf at the hands of Celtic fans since he moved to Scotland on loan in January. He said: "We have written to that organisation twice over the last month and a half. "The first time we sent them You Tube footage of the Celtic support collectively abusing El Hadji Diouf. Then we sent them a report into the Celtic fan who made monkey chants at Diouf. "We asked them to comment on that and have not received any reply. They know who we are and where to get us. The fact they haven't been anywhere near us indicates they are working to a different agenda and are being manipulated." http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/editor-s-picks/watershed-fans-chief-calls-for-end-to-chants-that-have-gers-in-uefa-dock-1.1096560

just you watch what yer singing ya bigot ye or you'll be lifted

davis can go for me, this season apart from a handful of games he's been woeful IMO. Being our top paid player and a Gers fan you expect more, well I do.

I would say he's not been great this season (he simply doesn't look interested really but he's not the only one) but apart from that he has been pretty damn good for us IMO. He done pretty well at the world cup and has won Algerian player of the year 2009 and 2010. We should get still get a few Million for him.

I fear once they ban one song they will start on others and the likes of the Catholic church will complain about lots they find offensive, where does it stop?

Unless this happens to every club why should we be the first ones to be punished and made/told to stop singing?

We are and have been unfairly treated and picked on, I just wish someone at our club had some balls. Bain said a wee bit in the statement but it's not enough. If this takeover happens then I hope Whyte gets someone with a backbone beside him asap and stand up for the club and the fans.

The story has been pulled from the site, something happening soon maybe or just wishful thinking

SSN are saying the Core Agreement has been reached but whytes camp are saying nothing at moment

Nothing's ever easy or straightforward at Rangers cheers Frankie the forum seems fine now.........

http://sport.scotsman.com/football/Whyte39s-Rangers-takeover-on-course.6745011.jp Craig Whyte's proposed purchase of Rangers would now appear to be a formality with an offer to the Stock Exchange imminent. The suggested completion date is Wednesday or Thursday of this week, not tomorrow as has been suggested Scotland on Sunday understands that all major roadblocks have been removed leaving the way clear for Whyte to buy Sir David Murray's shares, thereby bringing an end to a drama that has been more than five months in the making. Whyte has deposited his proof of funds with the bank and it is believed that he sees no reason why the deal cannot be completed within days. Reports of a possible blip yesterday are believed to be unfounded. It was suggested that terms of Whyte's deal to buy the club may include a commitment on his part to meet any potential HMRC tax debt, a figure that could run into the tens of millions of pounds. This notion is said to be well wide of the mark. The fallout from Alastair Johnston's Friday press conference with broadcasters continues, meanwhile. More than half a dozen journalists have indicated that Johnston lent serious credence to the notion that Rangers could go bust in a worse-case scenario, answering a direct question about the club potentially going out of business if there is no deal with Whyte and a large HMRC bill with a nod of his head. Rangers subsequently issued a statement to the Stock Exchange which read: "We would like to clarify that our chairman did not state that the club could go out of business." It is believed that Johnston was advised by colleagues at Rangers not to do a media conference, but he insisted on speaking to both the daily newspapers and the broadcast press about the club's interim financial results. On he field yesterday, Rangers failed to take advantage of an opportunity to go top of the SPL. With Celtic's game in Inverness postponed, Walter Smith's side would have gone one point ahead of Celtic had they won, but they lost 3-2 to Dundee United at Ibrox. Rangers led twice in the match but couldn't hold off a spirited United side who claimed the winner in the 90th minute courtesy of one-time Rangers signing target, David Goodwillie.

i heard all charges were dropped?

It's been all over the united forums for weeks that it's a done deal he'll sign for birmingham......so a fan in my work tells me.
