  1. Waiting for clearance from SFA...could they block it at the 11th hour?
  2. I used to, and about 10 years ago I handed them all along with my old 'classic' vinyl albums into a charity shop. Sometimes I wonder if I did the right thing.
  3. These boys are being sent up here to gain us promotion, if McDowall doesn't do as he's told he'll be tidying up the borders as Ally's assistant.
  4. 'Breaking News' on SSN - Rangers sign 4 Newcastle players on loan No names yet.
  5. In February 2014, reserve team coach Willie Donachie was forced to resign from the club after striking Streete after the teenager gave away a penalty in a defeat to Sunderland reserves. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26077080
  6. At least if these guys do come in, McDowall will be told where to play them.
  7. Glasgow Rangers bidding to sign clutch of Newcastle United fringe players on deadline day Glasgow Rangers are hoping to tie up a multiple loan deal for a clutch of Newcastle United fringe players on deadline day. The Ibrox club are eager to bolster their squad in order to keep a tight grip on the Scottish Championship play-off spot they are currently occupying. With Hearts the runaway leaders, Rangers’ hopes of promotion will go up in smoke if they slip out of second place with Hibernian breathing down their neck. Now Rangers hope to sign some of United’s fringe players which could see the likes of Haris Vuckic, Gael Bigirimana and Kevin Mbabu going north of the border. Today is the last day that international loan deals can be completed and that includes moves to Scotland. I haven't a clue about these players, but I'm sure they'll be better than what we have at the moment. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/glasgow-rangers-bidding-sign-clutch-8561228?
  8. Very good statement from RST. The reality is every football club has it's nutjob element hell bent on causing trouble, looking for it in fact, that will never change. Police Scotland have the hardest job right now in how we keep those nutjobs contained. An impossible task. Prepare for Glasgow letting itself down on Sunday. The Press will have a field day.
  9. Maybe like the 'Timz' are doing just now (regardless of their agenda) we should put the press term of 'Old Firm' to bed. We hate each other, end of. We aint no 'Firm' not for many many years.
  10. We can all use whatever toilet paper is at hand, but when it comes to the 'Old Firm' and newspapers the shit will hit the fan.
  11. It might be my pc has reached it's Earthend, but I don't think it's that. When I click on 'View First Unread' it takes me to where I have already read?
  12. I have never found a problem reading through the forum, but somehow for whatever reason something has knackered up my experience on the forum. Anybody else experiencing 'odd' changes to what they normally do when visiting the site? I'd be grateful for some feedback folks.
  13. I did what you said mate, now I have no 'go to first new posts' buttons on ALL threads, that's not right, is it? Sorry if I'm being pickety, but it is a bit frustrating for me.
  14. I've cleared my browsing history as advised...since I did that, I've discovered a problem when I click on the 'go to first new post' button - it takes me to the start or midway through each thread I've already read. Is this to do with the changes I've made or is maybe just a 'blip' on the site? Anyone else having this issue? Also some of the 'go to first new post' buttons are not displayed AFTER your thread (this one) Zappa, here's a screenshot of what it looks like....
  15. Mysterious owners and main shareholders behind Scottish football clubs must be revealed, a government report has said. A group set up to examine the involvement of supporters in the running of football clubs in Scotland has published its final report. The report, ordered by the Scottish Government last year, has called on clubs to reveal their owner and main shareholders to fans to increase transparency. Another main recommendation is that details of directors and board meetings are made available to fans of all clubs. There continues to be challenges in identifying the owners of some clubs in Scottish football and this should be resolved, the report stated. The report said: "While the ownership of most Scottish clubs is readily apparent, there have been and continue to be challenges in identifying the owners of some clubs. "Given the contribution these clubs make to communities and to the nation it is clear that supporters and others in a community should have the right to know who owns their football clubs." The group involved in writing the report, which involved senior figures in the SPFL, SFA and sportscotland, recommended that the identity of the "ultimate beneficial owner of a club" should be declared. It added that if the owner was a trust involving a group of people, then the individuals should also be identified. This recommendation is relevant to the situation at Rangers where a number of mysterious trusts and firms hold major shareholdings without fans knowing who they are. The report said: "To participate in the Scottish Professional Football League, a club must declare to the SPFL and to the SFA, and publish, the identity of the ultimate beneficial owner of the club. "Should that owner be a trust, the club must disclose the ultimate beneficiaries of the trust and the name of the trustees. "Of fundamental importance to supporters are the risks to their club where an owner does not have, or does not appear to have, that club’s best interests at heart." The report also recommended: "That further consideration is given as to how best to protect supporters and communities, in circumstances where an owner may be seeking to exploit the value of a club’s assets for personal gain. "Naturally supporter interest in club ownership is concerned with clubs’ financial sustainability, and hence tends to be intensified where a club has financial difficulties. "Indeed in the majority of recent Scottish football club financial failures, supporters have been involved in one form or another in the ownership structure which allowed their club to exit administration." The implementation of these recommendations will be overseen by the working group and taken forward by the clubs and governing bodies. Jamie Hepburn, minister for sport, said: "Supporters should be at the heart of their football clubs, but too often they have felt marginalised and excluded. "We established this working group because we wanted to find ways of making supporter involvement easier, and of strengthening the relationship between clubs and the communities they represent. "The group has come up with some interesting recommendations and it is now dependent on everyone involved, including the Scottish Government, to make these work. "These are challenging times for Scotland’s football clubs. The Scottish Government agrees with the working group that a legislative approach to addressing many of these issues is simply too prescriptive and not desirable or necessary at this stage." Stewart Regan, Scottish FA chief executive, said: "The Scottish FA acknowledges the need for greater supporter involvement in the national game. It is also supportive of the need to enhance fan engagement, not just in-stadia but expanding our digital provision. "We have been pleased with the commitment shown by our colleagues in the working group and look forward to working together to implement the recommendations contained in the report." Neil Doncaster, SPFL chief executive, said: "Supporters are the lifeblood of the game in Scotland. We welcome initiatives that are designed to increase fans’ engagement with their clubs." http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/rangers/308495-football-club-owners-and-shareholders-must-be-revealed-says-report/?
  16. No good hammering our history like most like to do. I value our history like all Bears do.
  17. No it wasn't. Seems to be an accepted drift on here with many posters. Rangers fought for their place like all teams do and yet some find a reason to slam it. Cool out ffs!
  18. So because I've since seen the light you will still come after me? Fair doo's.
  19. You have today's brutal football and compare it to season 2007/08? Walter took us to a European final and you don't want that ever again? Mind the step.
