Mediahouse are one of the best PR firms around - it appears they only act if a story is blackening SDM or Martin Bain - you'll not hear a peep from them if its us that are getting 'blackened'. Cammy F

Well the Red Scum didn't let us down yesterday. Songs about Ian Durrant and the Ibrox disaster, a fight with security staff and Police and injuring a young boy by throwing coins at him (how hard are they eh?). Wonder if this will be splashed all over the media for the next week? Or will it be swept under the carpet again? The Red Scum have been at this for over a decade, its time it was highlighted and dealt with. However, expect another dignified silence from Mr Murray and has lackies. Cammy F

Sorry mate, they are offended by our very existance (sp) and I for one, want nothing to do with them. Can you see them supporting us in our claims that they hired an IRA terrorist to paint their banners was covered up by the press? I would end up like NBM a one-sided Anti-Rangers pile of steaming manure. Cammy F

Call me a cynical old bassa (OK your a cynical old bassa) but I think our worst fears regarding Dado's fitness are about to be confirmed - think the big man might be finished.... Cammy F

Exactly - these 'journos' take what is written on them as fact. Just look at the recent 'articles' on the bouncy. Terrorist minded claimed it was started to celebrate the murder of a Catholic in Belfast. A myth that has gone round the Craptic forums for a few years. Hey presto it appears in the mainstream press and is printed as 'fact'. Never mind the fact that we have been doing the bouncy for 15 years PRIOR to this murder. The along come the claims (more myths) that we sand 'Kill a Fe**** before I die' and a song about a taxi and the unfortunate and sad death of a Craptic fan in Milan. These lies start on terrorist-minded and appear in the scum gutter media as fact. What does our club do? HEE-FOOKIN-HAW and low and behold, these lies are now FACTS. Now, when negative stories are printed on websites that are TRUE but show up Craptic and their fans, what happens? They are largely ignored and swept under the carpet. Last night on Radio Clyde, a bitter and twisted yahoo was on saying that Craptic fans are angels on their travels and their is NO TROUBLE. When Andy Walker and Mark Guidi pointed out that whilst in Milan, around 300 Craptic fans were involved in the attack on the press bus where a bottle was thrown, and it hit the window of the bus where the Craptic TV reporter and cameraman were seated, the daft bint repied - 'don't believe you, never read about this in the papers'. Now, therein lies the problem, we do not have written Journos who will have a go at them. Lets remind ourselves that when Craptic played Blackburn in the UEFA Cup, there was a major riot in Blackburn as Craptic fans were refused entry with facke tickets. The fans fought with Police and the arrest figure was confirmed by the home office as the most arrests in at a single game in years. Did this make the press up here? You bet your bottom $ it didn't. On their recent trip to London, there were reports of violence in the English media - again, was in reported up here? No, not a word of it. Their last 'friendly visit' to Manchester resulted in the 'most violent clashes' seen by the Police officer in charge and many pubs, clubs and shops were smashed up. Various Man U fanzines and websites wrote about this for months, wrote about not wanting Craptic anywhere near Manchester again. What did our madia make of it???????? I have a friend who is a Brummie and hates Craptic with a passion. She is a Catholic and was disgusted at their behaviour at a friendly down in Birmingham a few years back. She referred to them as 'sub-human'. Funnily enough, after her tales of violence etc I searched our media for 'outrage' but found nothing but praise for them. Now, We are not angels, we have our problems and have to deal with them. However, so does most 'big teams' and I certainly won't have have the media up here tell me that they are saintly and we are the devil incarnate. They have orginised themselves and are on the war path - we MUST FIGHT BACK and this must be led by the club. Cammy F

"There are some who quite simply are not decent and the good among this huge Rangers support shouldn't allow anything I say to be twisted by idiots on websites" Sorry Mr Traynor, we all ready your initial article and it certainly wasn't 'twisted by idiots on websites', it was there in black and white for everyone to read. You sir are a repugnet reptile . Cammy F

It is now 2:00PM on Friday, a full 36 hours after our fans were brutally attacked by riot Police in Spain, and we still haven't heard a peep from our custodian regarding this, or the vicious articles penned since by reptiles like Traynor. Now, I understand that before giving a 'detailed statement' regarding this, SDM will be wanting to get all the evidence in black and white, but as Nacho Novo and BF have shown, you can still come out and show your anger, concern and disbelief of these unprovoked attacks. SDM must come out in support of our fans and must push UEFA all the way on this and codemn the actions of the Police and show some concern on the well-being of our fans. After all, the UEFA representative in Spain is quoted today hailing the Rangers support as 'magnificant'. As any club led investigation progresses, SDM must also take action against Jim Traynor and his employers including closing all ties, sponsership deals etc with them. He must also take action against L McIntyre as the list of dangerious situations in Europe grows season after season. LM's duties include the safety of travelling Rangers fans and he has failed in this regard. SDM must also get his PR Department to work and show that our travelling fans are not troublemakers. They have plenty of ammunition - the local Spanish newspapers all complimented the travelling support, as above the UEFA rep has stated that we are 'magnificant', other police forces in Porto etc had nothing but praise for us. Get your finger out your arse SDM - defend us or GTF. Cammy F

Nah, fat bastard would eat us out of house and home and who'd oay a ransom for the useless tosser? We should just take the same stance as the Spanish Police and attack Traynor with a baton for his sectarian outbursts (called us Orange barstewards) and his mnay racist anti-English comments. After all using his sense or right and wrong, he'd have deserved it. I am off course joking and would never advocate violence./.. Cammy F

But at Lyon he was backed by the board - he was given significant money to spend (sure he paid over �£10M for Ession (sp)) and had the benefit of an extablished Youth Academy. What, given PLG's record at Ibrox, leads you to believe that he should still be in charge at Rangers and what positives lead you to believe that we would be better off? I am serious and not getting at anyone, but I can not think of one positive under PLG. Cammy F

Really? I am serious here, why do people think this? Under PLG we couldn't beat Falkirk, Dunfermline, St Johnstone etc yet we are to believe that he would have 'come good'? What evidence do you have that PLG would have made us a better team? Was it something in the performances? Something in his handling of the media? Something in his 'grasp of English'? He wasted �£5M on players even he realised weren't good enough and dropped them to play AM's rejects. Doesn't seem like a man that had confidence in his players. BTW, do you think PSG fans will be willing to give him time if they get relegated (a distinct possibility) this season? Cammy F

I'd agree with that I wouldn't say he did it well, remember we never really played anyone this season - Auxerre and Molde (away) should have beaten us, we played well against Liverno but we were rotten agains Partizan. Surely that is a better achievement than getting us thro the group stages of the UEFA Cup given the quality that we faced? Remember that we were very unlucky to lose on away goals to Villarreal. Honestly, what gives you that impression? What would PLG done differently from WS? What team would PLG put out to face Osasuna? To confirm tho, you think that PLG (or AM) should still be in charge rather than WS? Just curious to find out! Cammy F

I think Frankie and BMCK stated earlier this week, maybe the time for talking about these reptiles is over and along with tackling the Police, maybe it is time for controlled and orginised civil disorder? Maybe it is time to face the TWATS in the media face on and tell them face:face what we think of them - maybe demonstrate outside their palce of work informing their bosses that we are not happy. As for the Policing, someone on FF came up with a brilliant idea that wouldn't take much planning or finance. At all our away games, for the first 5 minutes, the entire Rangers support use whistles - thus the game would have to be delayed until we stopped. This would give great publicity to the cause and give air to the reasons we are doing it. Cammy F - Direct Action Loyal RSC

What, you have no faith in a manger who moulded the current Lyon team from scratch? Surely a manager of such reputation and ability saw something in Sebo? Cammy F

So are your implying that AM is / was a better manager than WS and on par (at least) with PLG? If that is true, why did we get rid of him and replace him with two inferior managers? Cammy F

Can't see Thomson being dropped and if Boyd is to play, it must be in a 4-4-2 as he isn't suited to the lone strikers role. Think the team will be ; McGregor Hutton Ego Weir Murray Novo Hendami Thomson Adam Fergie Boyd Know I've controdicted myself, but it'll be a 4-4-1-1 again with Novo and Adam out wide and Fergie as the player off the front Cammy F

Novo's contract is being allowed to run out with no new contract on the table, so it looks like he is leaving. Sebo is a difficult one. Surely PLG seem something in him to convince him to spend 50% of his entire transfer budget on him? Surely he is boing something in training that convinced WS to drop Boyd for our last 2 games? Don't think its blind faith in Sebo,. maybe blind faith in PLG actually knowing a player - but I admit it looks like PLG bought us a dud in Sebo. Cammy F

Carrying an article on the Police - http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/display.var.1260981.0.0.php However, look at the some of the 'eye-witness' reports. Am I right in being sceptical of these, especially Billy Williams from Airdrie who claims ; I've just got back the game last night and the whole episode was an embarrassement and I don't mean the result. It was my first trip abroad to watch Rangers. The majority of the Raners fans at the game were very drunk and very abusive to the locals all during the day and especially at the match. Every second song was sectarian about the Pope or Catholics etc. The trouble kicked off when some fans started abusing Ehiogu and other fans objected to it and that's when the fighting started. The police only moved in to stop the fighting. It really was a disgrace. Martin Bain should look into the facts before blaming everything like the police, segregation etc. Our fans were a disgrace and I won't be back abroad to watch them. Before people start abusing me, I've had a season book at Ibrox for 20 years now. -------------------------------------- The underlined part is what 'gives this away'. As a member of the TC with 5 points I didn't get a ticket for the game, so how come he managed it on 'Zero points'. Cammy F

There are now many stories, all along the same lines regarding the police last night. Seriously, you should register to read them - far too many to cut and paste to be honest with you. Some posters confirming that they have members of their RSC in hospital this morning suferring from various broken or fractured bones. A video was posted on FF for Police battering a Rangers fan who is lying on the ground (this was also posted on Terrorist Minded and they are having a right good giggle about it). Give the BBC credit, they are appealing for witnesses to the events from within the traveling Rangers support and are urging people to email them with pictures, videos atc (as are Rangers on the official site). As I said, having witness these beasts in Villarreal, something has to be done to protect visiting fans. Nacho Novo says as much in an interview on SkySports website. Hope all Bears are home safe and sound Cammy F

If it is anything like the last game, there will be nothing done. I reported their songs to the Police at half-time and was met with a shoulder shrug and told to sit down and shut up. Shortly after half-time, I went back to the Police and asked what was going to be done - again I was advised to sit down or face being ejected from the stadium. One WPC did say she understood where I was coming from and radioed to the control room that a growing number of Rangers fans were complaining and rightly so. The control room said 'nothing we can do - tell them its been reported'. After the game, I decided to call the 'grassing hotline' at Ibrox and complain. The person that took my call was 'excited' and praised me for picking up the phone and complaining. I was asked what my complaint was. I replied 'Inappropriate singing'. 'Good' said the person on the line - 'What songs are you complainging about and have you a seast number etc'. 'Yip, I'm complaing about the vile songs sung by the visiting fans and they were eminating from the entire away section'. I was then told that the grassing hotline is for complaining about Rangers fans only..... So I wouldn't expect Larry, Bain, The Stewards nor the Police to have their eyes trained on anyone who isn't a Bear on Saturday. Cammy F

Jim Traynor will be in his usual place at Ibrox on Saturday, lets make his stay as uncomfortable as possible. Mr Murray will do nothing to 'saction' Traynor, as always it'll be left to us to defend oursevles. Cammy F

Is Larry's job on the line after the latest horrific stories coming from Bears who were in Spain last night? Isn't it Larrys job to ensure the safety of Rangers fans on their travels? Last night, Rangers had 2 official sections of the ground that were well apart from each other and one had NO segregation from the home fans. This would have been apparent to larry when he visited the stadium prior to the game. This is the latest in a long line of tales of woe coming from Rangers fans who are treated like shit whilst following their team not just in Europe, but domestically as well. Saturday will see the Red Scum get carte-blance (sp) to stand at Ibrox for 90 mins and sing their vile songs whilst Bears will be thrown out for unwrapping sweety papers. Larry, your time us up Cammy F

We all know that we welcome the Always Ultras and Dolly on Saturday and as usual we will be treated to their vile and repugnent songs about Ian Durrant, Davie Cooper, Richard Gough and the Ibrox Disaster. They warmed up for Saturday by directing this filth at Motherwell (confused) fans. As a support, we must get behind OUR team from the first minute to the last (remember the last AFC game at Ibrox?) and outsing this bunch of mutton-molesting, sheep loving, fish gutting arseholes...! So come Bears - you're club needs you. Cammy F

In theory, getting to the last sixteen of the CL and UEFA Cup in successive seasons should be hailed as a decent achievement for Rangers considering our relatively poor European showings for the last 30 odd years. It is hard to fathom out how we actually managed this ââ?¬Ë?featââ?¬â?¢ as they coincided with arguably our worst 2 domestic seasons in over a decade and happened during crisis and change within our club. There is no doubting that getting to the last sixteen of the CL was the best achievement but in comparison to this years UEFA Cup run, we struggled in the group stages (4 draws, a win and a defeat). However, as 3rd seeded team, progressing is a wonderful achievement. We were up against decent Inter and Porto teams and lets not forget how Artmedia qualified for the group stages. The highlights of the group stages were obviously the victory and draw against Porto and the draw against Inter that secured our qualification. In reflection, we can count ourselves unlucky to have been knocked out by Villarreal, we certainly matched them over two legs and its worth remembering that Villarreal were themselves unlucky to be knocked out on the semis by Arsenal. In comparison this season, we coasted through the group stages including securing Scotlandââ?¬â?¢s only domestic success on Italian soil. It wasnââ?¬â?¢t the hardest group we could have faced, but you can only defeat what is put in front of you and we did that with consummate ease. We then had a comfortable aggregate win in the first knock out round but struggled against Osasuna both home and away. Would we have gone any further under if PLG was still the manager? Weââ?¬â?¢ll never know. Iââ?¬â?¢d argue that performances against Osasuna would have been ââ?¬Ë?betterââ?¬â?¢ but donââ?¬â?¢t know if the result would have been any different, we are simply not good enough. Organisation only takes you so far and class always tells. However, last 16 two seasons on the bounce is the sort of achievement that Rangers should be striving for. We should be in the last 16 every year. The problem with getting there though is that the expectation (rightly) is to get even further and land the dream of actually winning a European trophy again. Without a long-term strategy, weââ?¬â?¢ll NEVER again win a European trophy, but clubs like Craptic and Middlesboro have shown that reaching a European final, especially the UEFA Cup is not out-with our capabilities. In summary, this seasons run, like last seasons was a welcome distraction for our dire domestic situation and the fact that we have gathered much needed co-efficient points shouldnââ?¬â?¢t be ignored either.
