Calscot, I'm not getting into all this again - its fair to say that we disagree on this and on who controls the money at Rangers and as to why FR wasn't sacked. Cammy F

Calscot, Martin Bain is full control of transfer fees and wages - that is HIS job. It is a well known fact that David Murray REFUSED to sack Ricksen after he thro a Rangers director into a swimming pool - the only reason - MONEY. If PLG has control of players wages and transfer budgets, why hasn't he signed Beckham, Zidane, Michael Owen etc? Matin Bain and David Murray set the wage budget, the manager has to fit his players into that - the manager supplies Bain with a list of players and Bain tries to sign them and fit them into the wage structure - nothing to do with the manager. cammy F

Once again I have to ask why AM gets blamed for Martin Bain's work? Martin Bain agreed contract and wages for both Ricksen and Bernard, not AM. As for Ricksen, AM wanted to sack him after he thro a Rangers director (who couldn't swim) into a swimming pool, only for David Murray to over-rule his decision as sacking him would cost too much money. Yip, AM has a lot to answer for, but not on the contract front. Cammy F

Yip, looks like that is the situation as of today. Cammy F

Nope, more lies peddled by the greatest liars in the world - they can't even agree what (unfortunate) murder this relates to. Some say it was started by loyalists who celebrated a murder in Londonderry by doing the bouncy - the murder took place in 1994 - I remember doing the boucy at Tynecastle in the 80's. Other say it is done to celebrate the death of a Craptic fan in Glasgow but both are wrong. The Bouncey was started one freezzing cold game at Tynecastle (or it could have been Tannidice) in the early / mid 80's where, to keep warm, Rangers fans began bouncing up and down to keep warm - it spread right around the away end and was even mentioned on the radio at the time. It then started to appear in the East Enclosure at home games and soon the words 'If You Cannae Do The Bouncy' were added. This is just another myth thought up by Timmy to get at us - imagine using the death of one of your own, just to get at Rangers fans - lowest of the low - it ranks up ther with the red tops of our socks symbolising being up to our knees in ****** blood.

Gersfem, they will be getting watched at Tynecastle on Sunday.... (jujst we'll be getting watched at Ibrox tomorrow). Cammy F

Doesn't matter if he gets away with it or not, it is the fact that he is even being investigated that is the point. You do have to agree with the charge if you believe in the Scottish Assemblies sectarian teachings - any form of religion is banned from football and that applies to the players (well, unless your name is Neil Lennon). This is great news for us, as soon as I see a Tim blessing themselves at an OF game, I will video them. send the video to McConnell, NBM, Strathclyde Police, UEFA and ask for Craptic to be punished accordingly. Cammy F

Yip, sections of the Craptic fans are going to report us if we play this song - I say let them, as there is nothing remotely sectarian about this song. Anyway, Timmy are worried as UEFA are about to come knocking on their door so they are trying to divert attention from themsevles. Cammy F

Yes - reading the statement it appears that we are banned from singing any song that has the 'Marching Thro Georgia' tune. However, where the waters muddy is what about other clubs who sing this song - Hearts (Hibee blood), Killie (Ayr Blood) and Dundee (Arab blood) - are they banned from singing? Think it is confinded to the stadium and close surrounding areas. Cammy F

Just heard Donald Gorries response to this - Donald Gorrie who was quoted as saying that religion has no place in football says these charges are rediculous. Now, now Donald, you either want ALL religious things removed from football or none at all - make up you mind - typical Lib Dem...! PS - this shows how farcical these UEFA charges and 'Scotland's Secret Shame' laws are. Cammy F

The on-line version of The Times headline reads - Fergie, Gers Want My Kids - so it looks like we could be in for more than one... http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/ Cammy F

Just finished - basically said that we will continue to play our pre-match music but will slowly introduce more 'old' and 'traditional' Rangers songs, starting with Wolverhampton Town tomorrow Cammy F

Yeah, heard we are trying to get the lad on a year long loan. Cammy F

IMO, too much is placed on the countries co-efficient - after all, it is the clubs co-efficient that is most important - hence Craptic being seeded in pot 2 for the CL group stages. Cammy F

For me, regaining domestic supremacy is vital this season - we are Scotland's No1 club and we have to regain this crown - so that means winning the league and winning it in style - anything else will be a bonus. Cammy F

IMO, even with a great team and team effort, one or two players will always stand-out and will have to if we are going to be successful. By that I mean the keeper may have an inspired 2-3 games when we review the season and we'll indentify those games as 9 points he got us. Also, one player may score 30+ goals this season and that might be the reason we win the league, or a player could assist in 50 goals per season. To win the league you must have had a great squad effort as no one player will single-handedly win you the league, he needs others around him to help. It just seems that one player is been outstanding, but that player will always say that it was a team effort. For me, our defence is crucial to us this season - we have a midfield and forwards that will always score goal - so if we can keep it tight at the back and build a foundation from there, we will be fine.

Good article in the Evening Times about him - praise from Dr Jo (remember him ) and from ex-Jambo Thomas Flogal - Flogal says that once the guy is off and running, he won't be caught - he is a train... Welcome to the family Sebo http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk Cammy F

The most impressive thing is the age of the squad (and AM takes some credit for that as well). Most players in their early to mid-20's and players like Hutton, Burke, Smith and Boyd have all gotten experience and know what it takes and means to play for Rangers. If the new players can intigrate into the squad and the culture quickly, I think we have really exciting times ahead. Cammy F

This is not a post getting at anyone, but I thought that the start of a new season, with a new manager, new regime, new players, new system etc and with UEFA's sights firmly set on us, that the Rangers Chat would be very busy. I thought we'd have people discussing the new players, the new manager, the new system etc, but it's all very quiet in here. However, you pop into the Bluenose Lounge and the posts and threads are popping up all over the place.... So come on folks, lets get some topics of Rangers related conversation started.. Cammy F

Is it fair to say that Craptic are whores? Letting people fook them for money, seems whorish to me .... Cammy F

Read a thread on another forum where the question was asked, when was the proudest moment being a Rangers fan. Most of the answers brought back great memories, our great truimphs, last-gasp victories etc. However, one poster said that his proudest moment came at Tannidice the day we lost 10-in-a-row. After thinking about it, I can see where the guy is coming from and I agree with him. I vividly remember standing in the Fair Play Stand, applauding the players (who were in tears) from the pitch with every last one Rangers supporter that day singing the hearts out. Following Rangers isn't all about winning, following Rangers isn't about supporting 'any' football team... Cammy F - Lump In Throat Loyal RSC

In all honesty, that is hard to argue with. I have been to see West Brom on numerous occassions, especially when they were in the championship - most of their games are like watching pub teams - its not a great standard, but as a 'fan' you kind of ignore that and try and support your team. I can only go on what I have encountered - visiting Leeds, Birmingham, London, Wycombe, Sheffield etc regularly, I have had no problems with people talking about Scottish football. One thing that I will say, when I was last in Sheffield, I was invited to the local derby and have found one derby that is more 'hate-filled' than the OF - the town centre was a no-go area from the whole weekend - Mon The Wednesday...
