Alex Thomson: Rangers into administration on Wednesday-Question....
Scott7 replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
Who is the big accounting cheese? Brendan O'Hoolihan, Chartered O'Ccountant? Seriously, the situation is worrying. A second admin. will provide another round of troughs for the spivvery to gorge in. The question is whether there's enough to tide them over to a third event. I've got a terrible feeling we're done for. A wounded lion brought down by hyenas. A lion of little brain, it has to be said. It should have mauled its keepers long ago. And that's the end of melodrama for today. I'll be better tomorrow. Won't I? -
The great man made his debut at Ibrox against Aberdeen on 24th November 1956. The team: Niven, Shearer, Caldow; McColl, Davis, Logie; Scott, Simpson, Murray, Baird and Hubbard. The Dons turned out a smashing team that day, Harry's immediate opponent being Paddy Buckley a pretty nifty centre forward. 3 - 1 to the Light Blues. Johnny Hubbard scored a penalty! Sensation! Three weeks later Harry was left half with Geordie Young at centre half when Rangers smashed title contenders Hearts 5 - 3 scoring Rangers' equalizer after being 0 - 2 down with a thundering shot from 20 + yards. His last match was on 11th January 1965 when Rangers edged past Stenny in a SC tie 1 - 5. The team: Ritchie, Provan, Caldow; Davis, McKinnon, Baxter; Henderson, Greig, Millar, Brand and Watson.

Keith Jackson: Time has come for Dave King to prove his worth
Scott7 replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
Oh yes there is. If I remember rightly. -
Harold Davis - the only man on earth who could have strengthened the Iron Curtain.
-
I'm not convinced yet about fan ownership but I agree 100% with everything else in that post.
-
That is one of the worst ever. Contrast that with the Rugby chaps who have reverted to the traditional navy blue, no trim, no fancy scribbling and minimalist logo. Thay may not be all that good at playing the game but they look the part.

Is that not Danny Lennon, St. Midden manager? I have every confidence the learned Judge will deal with the matter dispassionately and impartially but for his own good, instead of declaring an interest, he should have passed on this one and given it to one of his colleagues with no interest in the game. If he finds in favour of Heidi Hoop there will be many misguided and deluded individuals who will never believe it had nothing to do with his allegiance to cp. What's the Judiciary coming to? Sellick men on the Bench! In the good old days there might have been a couple of Hearts guys. The rest spent their Saturday afternoons at recitals or cataloguing their butterfly collections.

Euro 2016: Home nations await qualification draw
Scott7 replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
WGS is a better manager than umpteen of his predecessors so we should beat Gib and we've got a chance against ROI, pale shadows of their recent selves and reverting to what they used to be. Can we sneak past Georgia and get a bit of luck against Poland? Or will our points total be 7, a win and a draw against Gib and an away win against Germany? -
The Iron Curtain + Willie Rae. Willie Waddell Bobby Shearer Harold Davis Don Kichenbrand John Greig Jimmy Millar Tam Forsyth Colin Jackson No one tried to kick them off the park. Those who tried it with McMillan and Baxter were "cautioned" by Mr Davis. The point is you need a few men of steel in the team. McCulloch is the only one who comes close to being an apprentice to the above mentioned.
-
I know what you mean, DB. "Tall Target Man" is how the rubbish press describe it. Don Kichenbrand.
-
I'm sure you did. Motto of the RFCSA. Rangers: "Ready." RFCSA: "Aye Ready." Makes sense.

Lambert/Alan Hutton (nothing to do with current Rangers if you want to skip)
Scott7 replied to SteveC's topic in Rangers Chat
Vastly over-rated. Flashes of brilliance. The sale to 'Spurs was great business. Didn't do well there. -
The reply will be interesting. This question was canvassed some years ago on FF -the old Rivals Board, I think. RMc was an "aye ready" man but changed his mind halfway through the debate. What exactly was JF saying above? I took the meaning that the motto was ""Ready" but the device on the stand showed "Aye Ready" for some reason?
-
The "aye" means "yes" rather than the Scots "ever" or "always". It comes from naval parlance where before some task is started the leading rate asks "ready?" and the working party responds "aye, ready" before hauling on a rope or swarming up a rigging or whatever matelots do. The badge on Mr Struth Will tell you the truth.
-
Google Images has a photo of Mr Struth - several in fact - which shows the grand old gentleman wearing natty braided blazer. The badge on it is the old heraldic shield with a lion superimposed on a St Andrew's cross. The left and right quadrants of the cross bear the date 18 71 . The bottom quadrant has the motto "Ready". Blow it up and get out the magnifying glass.
-
Don't trust wiki. The first Rangers calendar that I bought was 1957/58. "Ready" was the motto on it.
-
Quite a nice little story but I doubt that the allegory stands up.
-
What celtic have to the co-opy is long term debt perhaps secured by mortgage over the Stadium of Blight. Bank debt normally means a debt the bank can 'phone you up and say "gie's it the morra."
-
Sorry, Compo. You're buying. Might I suggest the Mortlach? It's about to become fashionable but it's a damn good dram for all that.
-
The motto of Rangers is "Ready" The motto of the Rangers Football Club Supporters Association is or used to be "Aye Ready". About a million years ago I had a handkerchief with the RFCSA crest and motto to that effect on it.

Scotland squad for the friendly with Poland
Scott7 replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
They were raving last night on sport sound about Robertson of the Dundee Hibs. Fabulous going forward but needs to develop his defending! Call me old fashioned, call me out of touch, call me Tiger Shaw but I kind of like my defenders the other way round. By way of explanation, I was only listening to find out if the Stranraer game was on. -
Toure's limitations exposed and yes, City's defence is average. Kompany and Zabuleta are fine but they have weaknesses which need to be covered by good solid hard tacklers.

Petition: Ensure neutral venues for the 2014 Scottish Cup Semi Finals
Scott7 replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
Five signatures there. Two Aberdonians, one from a wee village in the Dons' hinterland, one Raith - what's he doing there? - and one other of dubious origin trying in an oppressive and bigoted way to undermine people's rights to be heard. In fact the petitioners make a reasonable point. In the grand old days of yore the venues were not allocated until the teams were known. If Rangers were involved the venue was Hampden the other tie going to Ibrox or on rare occasions the Stadium of Blight. Simples. -
That game was everything that the Gunners v United match was not. Liverpool were unlucky. Suarez is dream of a player. Superb talent and never stops working.
-
City need a young Vidic or Terry to tighten the defence. The jury's still out on the 'keepers. The attack is sublime.
