We must never forget. Never forget the utter waste of milions of the most productive of humans lives; never forget the devastation of the lives of those who were left; never forget what happens when an unelected elite plays pawns with the lives of young men; never forget the bombast, the jingoism and the false patriotism of those who stood on the sidelines encouraging others to die for their own machismo and national inferiority complexes. Never forget the manipulation and propaganda which lead millions to end their lives early so that a few could continue to enjoy the high life. When you "remember the Somme"; ask yourselves what it is you are remembering.

Mohsni - The SFA have made an example out of me
The Real PapaBear replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
Only, you're not just changing the costume; you're changing the entire scenario. The shove in the back was violent conduct pure and simple and Erwin deserved everything he got. Mohsni should have received a three match ban for violent conduct and not a minute more. The fact that he has been so heavily punished and the Motherwell mob, for that is what they were, got off practically scot free can be put down only to the teams they play for. -
In other words, he'll be a Rangers player by the end of next week.

I think the Motherwell fans are simply magnificent. Not only did they sit on their hands and keep quiet to police and stewards about this group of Rangers fans sitting in their midst during what has been described as the most important game in their club's history, but even after this group of rowdy huns had disgraced themselves by throwing a flare, the 'Well fans continued to remain silent and gathered round their bluenosed enemy, protecting them from being lifted by the long arm of the law. But then, if this wasn't admirable enough, once the game had finished these very same exemplars of sportsmanship ran over en masse to commiserate with the Rangers fans and to applaud them warmly and with sporting affection and to wish us a speedy return to the top flight. Good on the Record for bringing these wonderful deeds to light.

I put it down to George being so depressed that he was no longer responsible for his actions. But, still....

Court action: Injunction granted and RFC to pay £20K costs
The Real PapaBear replied to raygun's topic in Rangers Chat
And that would most likely have cost you a pretty penny; so kudos and hats off to you guys for putting your money (or lack of, now) where your mouth is. -
Brilliant post. Welcome back.

What Celtic are doing, and doing exceptionally well it has to be said, is identifying top quality prospects from all over the place, buying them for peanuts and moving them on for a handsome sum as soon as they can. They are now every bit as much a selling/feeder club as Dundee Utd or Hibs. That is their future; downsizing and bargain basement shopping.

Well said, that man. Huge thanks to Zappa for taking the time every week to run the thing and a Very Well Done to yourself; an outstanding performance week in week out, sir.
