To add to the self image thing, I genuinely believe he thinks he's destined for a bigger team than Leicester. Maybe Chelsea? Sarri-ball seems to be imploding?

Really can't see him walking out mid season. He is big on his own self image and leaving now would upset a lot of Tims, regardless of what he has won for them.

In what way was his response in a "bigoted fashion"?

Is Bearger not just asking about the details involved with the petition? If the details are vague, surely it's only common sense to ask questions prior to making a decision to support it?

Not exactly boxing clever in the fight against out detractors, is it?

Agree 100%.

Refreshingly honest words there from Rice. Good to hear

I would suggest it's the people singing these songs that are the ones doing Lawwell's bidding. The fact that our manager has to comment about this again is embarrassing. Just stop singing these songs for goodness sake.

Great idea but I hope certain individuals leave the ski masks at home.

I definitely think this is why Kamara has been drafted in.

Strange decision at this time of the season. Not unless they are laying the foundations for Brendan Rogers

Strong team. No excuses. 3pts on a shitty pitch. Nothing else matters

No idea but the original article highlights the membership being part of the reformed faith. I presumed members of religious organisations required attendance at a place of worship?

Maybe they can recall the 984 players they have on loan?

"On the other hand, the Orange Order is a Charitable Christian organisation which is exclusively populated by members of the Reformed faith" Just based on personal experience but anyone I've ever encountered from OO couldn't tell you the first thing about their reformed faith and have never been in a church in their lives. Honestly, this stuff is bewildering. Stop trying to argue around the semantics of the words. The abuse is horrible and needs to stop. Just concentrate on football ffs. No wonder I encourage my wee boy into anything but football.

If we know all this then it's time to play a cannier game IMO. The Tim's abusing Boyd shouldn't be a green light to excuse our own abuse. If nothing was said on Wednesday the focus should have been on THEM. Ok the media will not run with it in the same way but if we keep our own house in check they will eventually be exposed. PS. As much as the passage was from the Bible, it's not overtly religious is it? Sounds more like common sense

Is anyone else utterly scunnered with this prehistoric garbage? We should be talking about a 5-0 cup win. 4 goals for Alfie. The midfields hunger to work in packs to retain possession. The next round v Aberdeen. Oh no. Rangers fans don't get that luxury afforded to most football fans. We get a few days of the club being dragged through the myre thanks to this cringeworthy own goal by some of our fans. It's getting tiresome tbh. Just concentrate on football ffs. Leave all your own baggage at your own door. You are doing the club you profess to love, no favours whatsoever

This. With bells on. Well said

Just out of interest...what was the black and gold flag they had last night?

Agree. The keeper raises his arms and then makes an unprovoked action with his elbow. Where is the debate?

Agree Ian. That is why we need to box clever IMO. Stick to the football and keep our own counsel and they will be exposed sooner than later. Fighting fire with fire will mean we will lose this particular battle.

I genuinely don't care about them and what they sing. We've established that the media are not providing balanced coverage therefore we are never going to win this competition of tit for tat. Celtic fans hung effigies from their stadium and it should have been exposed to the world but as per usual it is buried in a glut of OF related violence/vandalism and is lost from the public debate forever. I just wish we could concentrate on what's going with the team and leave the flag waving politiking to them. They would be found out pretty quickly as they just cannot help themselves. Unfortunately, I fear we can't eaither

I agree Ian but we need to box clever. Instead of putting the gun to our own foot, drop the gun, take a step back and allow their hatred to come to fore. Only then will it be exposed and for what it is really is. If we keep provided them with open goals there is only one outcome.

Agreed but I think there has to be some countability on our behalf. Don't sing songs with these silly words and it makes it harder for our critics to have a go. We excel at shooting ourselves in the foot with this stuff. We win the game by scoring 5 goals and playing well. All very positive but it's more important to some to hurl this crap at their manager. It's tiresome

BBC Scotland website didn't help matters by stating it was Morelos on the match feed for about 20 minutes.
