buster.

Spain continues to dominate La Liga sides have won 13 of the past 14 European trophies - Champions League, Europa League and Uefa Super Cup.

Ronaldo says he's not sure of his future at Madrid and he'll have to sort things out this week. Green and white flag that Ramos was holding is the flag of Andalucia (in case timbo is claiming another fan).

Ker-ching

Madrid win, both teams to score and over 2.5 goals 12/5

It's only a link. Over 90% of such won't get any further.

Would be nice if we could win our home matches and the polis forced their support to stay in their seats for half an hour after the FT whistle.

Doubt it, Fergie is behind the bar serving the pints.

That would certainly been faster than Mr.Collins

Another question about the pic could be what year was it taken ??? I'll say 1976

The number 34 used to be the bus you'd catch from Lothian Road (Edinburgh) to take you down to the dug racing at Powderhall. Powderhall has long since gone, as is the best part of James Collins career. --------------------- Edit...according to soccerway stats. / recent injuries Hamstring 11/03/18 12/05/18 Hamstring 21/03/18 30/04/18 Hamstring 01/03/18 09/03/18 Calf Muscle Strain 27/12/17 12/01/18 Ankle/Foot Injury 17/09/17 13/12/17 Knock 23/05/17 31/05/17 League minutes played (Max 38x90 = 3420) 12/13....... 2496 13/14.......1899 14/15.......1879 15/16.......1439 16/17.......1653 17/18.......1050

I'd say the money spent on the shirt ad. will at least have a return where 'traditionally', not all money sent to Africa does. I don't think you can realistically give aid to African countries and not expect some of it to be skimmed. It's probably more about damage limitation and a degree of asking about spending plans/writing them into contracts.

Yes and equally it would be disingenuous to pretend that the club and many of the support didn't have some of the political and/or religious beliefs we are talking about. It's fairly simple really and it comes down to realism and mutual respect. I'm not from the West of Scotland and growing up a first generation Rangers fan in Edinburgh, my attention was always directed at the football. I went to games and sang songs but wasn't really aware of the history behind it until further down the track and that co-incided with joining the Marines and a couple of tours of N.I., so it dovetailed quite nicely. As I've got older my politcs and my football are very seperate and I wouldn't shape my politics because of the football team I support. To me, that would be plain silly but for those who grew up and were formed closer to Ibrox and/or within a Rangers supporting family, then you can understand their politics, etc.

If we had the kit out now,....how many would we have been able to shift down South for the WC ? #XX thousand

Of course I am Bill,...... If it makes you feel better, I can be inconsolable for your particular 'reality'.

I tend to think he was given the role partly because of his media profile and reach........and his new remit would expect him to, within reason and the terms of the particular contracts involved, promote and defend the club where possible. Wrt defending the club, he won't be seen or expected to be a gamechanger, only a positive public voice. I think he already tries to defend the club on SSB at times but simply isn't very good at it when it gets 'political'.

It may be fun to you but you only illustrate your curious disposition to not only live and preach within your own reality but to expect others to be by your side and nod their heads, even if that reality doesn't actually reflect the real world......Then to top it off, offer abuse to those who might not.

The whole shooting match leaves me cold tbh.

Ask the person who did !

In the real world, not every Rangers supporter fits into your stereotype and hence you have differing opinions being put forward. Your intolerent tone and language paints it's own picture.

We could do relatively well and still not make the group stages. I look at some of the seeded teams further into the qualifiers..... Sevilla Besiktas AZ Alkmaar Maccabi Tel-Aviv RB Leipzig Partizan Belgrade Burnley Atalanta Zenit Feyenoord Bordeaux Olympiakos, etc. .... and just think it's asking a lot to turn things round so quickly and dispatch that level of team.

Wrt the league in general, swimming against a strong tide won't take us anywhere. If we want to get anywhere, we'll have to do it ourselves but first we have to sort ourselves out so I doubt we'll get far this year.

Trying to be objective and forgeting my own views on flags in general.....I look at the design of the white top with Union flag incorporated and think it's a cracker that has potential to sell extremely well and not only within our support base. With that in mind and given current circumstances, I'd actually be dissappointed if we didn't go with it.

I think he may try to but IMO he's not very good at that side of things.

The line IMO is orange strip ok for the reasons you mention but prominent flag, not so. Or in other words, colours rather than symbols.

People can have an opinion. That doesn't mean anything should be, has to be or will be ditched. Don't take offence
