Blue Moon

Welcome to all the new members.

I decided to get a season ticket after a 3 year gap long before Green was appointed because my club was in trouble and I would have been devastated if it had gone to the wall. Thankfully Ally stayed to see us through it but my decision had nothing to do with his endorsement of Green or Green's statements, welcome though they may be. The press don't understand the concept of the Rangers family because they have never been part of it. At least this article from Traynor is not condemnatory of Green. Some of the articles he wrote in the dark days were very hurtful.

Schickelgruber

Proof of the enormous pulling power of Rangers, but they can manage without us.

The Falkirk announcer called Rangers the Sevco Franchise during their game on saturday and has been suspended pending a full investigation and Falkirk have apologised to Rangers and their supporters.

Good idea, Andy, but the Ladies games are on a Sunday. It is the only way they can get pitches. They also have a winter shutdown which is apparently a pilot prior to possibly rolling it out to the rest.

Thankfully he wasn't tested.

Sorry, I am not convinced, Mr Thomson.

I've gone into this twice to check. Am I missing something here? Is that it for our game today? Is there nothing anywhere else?

That's superb, DB. Thanks.

I also have concerns, particularly about the defence but I cannot believe that any Rangers supporter would not be happy to see a player like Barry McKay against any opposition. Rangers fans have been guilty in the past of being too hard on youngsters and I sincerely hope we give Barry McKay every encouragement. Confidence is everything. Ian Black will be a real asset. He is tenacious, can stroke the ball about and has an eye for goal and a great shot. His booking today was silly and it was a tackle he didn't need to make. I was impressed with Sandaza. He looks pacey, has lots of energy and can play a fair bit. Dean Shiels was having a good game too until he had to go off. Little played some good football and took his goals very well. I prefer to look for the positives, bearing in mind we will buy more players and will improve as the season progresses and I disagree completely that there was no great football on view and that the game was brutal.

I can't believe the negativity I am reading here. Yes, we had a poor first 20 minutes but recovered very well, played some great football and should have scored a barrowload. Wee Barry McKay was a treat to watch and I think Sandaza will do a right good turn for us. I met Walter before the match, took his photo, exchanged a few words and shook his hand. The atmosphere was great, the sun was shining and I was back where I belong with the mates I left behind. I was elated til I came on here.

I am sure the BTC and the BBC are beavering away to unearth any dirt that is to be found.

It is yet more evidence of the economic importance of a strong, competitive Rangers.

Enjoy it Auld Yin.

IIRC he is the one who is scrutinising the evidence for HMRC. I believe he is meticulous and above reproach. Sorry. Got that completely wrong. See following posts. Red face.

The hypocricy stinks.

Thought he was good in his first spell but he didn't seem to progress, in fact i think he regressed.

Let's face it, he doesn't deserve to be picked on his form alone.

Thanks for this informative piece, Zappa. The Rangers support is not known for its patience and the 2 games against Falkirk worry me a bit. They have perhaps come too early for us with a side that has not had a proper pre season and with players that have not had time to gel. It is just a pity that we have come up against them so early in the Ramsdens cup as I fancy we will do better at Ibrox against them. We need to get the defence sorted out. If we do that we stand a very good chance. I would prefer us to play 4 at the back at the moment.

Can't say I like that.

At least they have said the right thing, not tried to justify it for several different reasons.

I think we should not sing about Celtic at all. We have no reason to now and to ignore them would annoy them more. If they continued to sing about us it would show them up in a very bad light. I've always hated giving them the time of day unless we were playing them and see even less reason to do it now. We should be singing about our team.

I sympathise but just think a new baby then a season ticket. Brilliant. Maybe someone has a spare ticket they could give you.

I know, jaymak, when I went to the East Fife game I felt like a kid with a new toy and am so looking forward to Saturday in the lovely warm weather.
