boabie

and another thing, "  slammed by Rangers AND Hoops fans  " ??

I'd be very interested in any one mank post anywhere on the worldwide interrnet where this shite was "slammed" -  apart from those by the unclean complaining about the entry fee.

What better way to promote a pile of shite than to get a media outlet to say your big exclusive has led to death threats ?

File under garbage.

It's hard enough watching us play league and cup games domestically, so I certainly wont be watching kick-about friendlies in the middle of the night. 

 

As always with these matches, all I want is for players to get some match sharpness, but above all else NO INJURIES! I dont care about the score or how we play, those are fairly meaningless.

 

As for those who are spending a small fortune to go out and watch these kickabouts (about a dozen from my RSC are out there just now), nutters the lot of them with more money and annual leave from work than sense!

 

 

I have the basic tv package so won't be able to watch even if I wanted to.

Agree - no injuries please.

My wife probably has more knowledge about most of the players mentioned here.

Honestly,with very few exceptions, unless they play for Rangers I couldn't comment on any of them as I don't take papers or watch on tv.

Here's hoping though.

No. It's all true. In fact the discussions between the members of our board have been quoted verbatim on at least 3 mank websites, all of whom claim to be friends with the mole at our club. 

Oh, and 2 of our directors had a meal with Regan at a city centre hotel restaurant when how many points deduction would aply following our pre pack admin were discussed. Another mole heard it all.

I believe it and am currently getting dressed to head out to the bookies.

I wish the winter shutdown lasted from November to February. going to the football in the freezing cold and/or pishing rain, slipping and sliding on the streets outside, sitting beside guys who sneeze all over you all afternoon, watching football of a poor quality because the weather is making it harder for the players to play to their best.

 

Now move those fixtures from November - February and put them in June-August, where it is warmer, drier, the pitches are better, you dont need to go with 10 layers of thermals on, (visits to Aberdeen aside!), and watch better quality football as well.

 

It's a no-brainer. If football was starting from scratch today, I am certain our season would be March-October.

 

Sadly, I dont think we will ever embrace this in our backward wee country.

I don't know about you Tannoch but the last bit of sun I saw was around April. It has pished constantly since then.

Looks like a squinty apple and 2 teeth mate.

What's it saying ?

Older posters might recall he had a decent record as number 1 at Raith Rovers as well..

A 1994 Scottish Cup final win against the manks at Ibrox being top of the list.

I was always delighted when he played against us. He was a complete diddy.

This is the kind things that should be full up in the media but it is not done by Rangers supporters will not make it news.

Who is going to report it mate ? Having spent more time than I care to remember sending emails and messages with links , facts contained attached, I got zero response.

Farting against thunder. The battle was lost years ago. There's nobody listening these days.

No doubt that JN will get paid more with Rangers than with Falkirk also he prefers the club. But he could be here for only 5 months, any new manager will bring in his own assistant.

I wouldn't bet against Jimmy getting the gig full time. Especially if King is pulling the strings.

There are season tickets to be sold. To many Jimmy fits the bill. Good manager or not.

Jimmy was a speaker at a night I attended a few years ago. I was able to spend 20 minutes at the end of the night talking with him about this and that.

A good guy. No doubt.

But.....but.....ra Shellik wur tired.

 

Brenda said so.

And the referee was an obvious bluenose.

Good enough for him.

It's downwards all the way after Rangers.

Right now I've a heid like a stairheid.

Awaiting my family for dinner.

Happy New Year and best wishes to all bears.

EDIT - and bearettes.

I can recall coming out of Ibrox and my dad saying he thought Ronnie McKinnon was a great defender because all he did was "clear his lines". Because I was young I saw no reason to disagree. Wembley in 1967 showed me that Ronnie was a far more skillful player than that.

The boy Bates strikes me as being the same. It has to be taken into account that he is still in his youth.

A decent result which probably caught some by surprise. A great result considering the injuries and whatever else we had going into the game. Especially given we were up against the world famous Gallowgate Galacticos. a squad comprised entirely of players each worth over £40 million at least.

One look at the mank sites will show they continue to be unhappy and are definitely not following the media line about the "Invicibles".

Which is nice.

Murty until the end of the season and dumplings like O'Halloran being recalled while one or two of our first team are seeing rumours about interest from minor English clubs - something is afoot ?

I remember the year when we played them 7 times, the Diouf season methinks, and their total profit was 180k. They have been living of Soton throwing silly money after their players for quite a few years, then the odd half decent CL run. But they have a large squad on high wages, the Co-op Bank loan being claimed next season etc.. One may look in envy on those transfer figures or even sell-on clause dosh, yet, they are hardly in good health. I reckon their finance gurus breathed a major sigh of relief when Klopp made Liverpool pay 75m for van Dijk, so a lovely 7.5m cheque arrive at their doorstep. That was x-mas coming early.

As posted DB, one feck up and thrown out of europe would see them in bother.

Others it would seem will rather concentrate on the results of the rape and pillage carried out at Ibrox by various conmen and criminals as the yardstick.

Who'd bet on the mank ****s bonuses paying off the Co-op next year ?

When you've 3 separate companies running a club and the one registered to play football here having NO assets it wouldn't be hard to deal through, oh maybe a Gibraltar bank ?

Blimey. You’d think they could come up with something a bit fairer than that. And these clubs don’t think they need Rangers

I think the answer is in what they got offered before our promotion to the top league.

It would be interesting to know how many minor league matches received live coverage once we'd gone.

I see the manks revenue figures have just been released. It's frightening when you see what they're spendingcompared to what they are earning only to have such a poor return on the investment. All that money to win the SPFL ?

A failure to qualify for a later stage of any euro cup will see them in bother. £90.6 million coming in this year yet showing only £24 million profit in 5 years and that despite selling anybody of any worth ?

Their board and management must have some bonus set up at play.

If you look at some of the main players at Barca and how many career games they've played, it's clear they know what they are doing in relation to 'sports science', training, approach to games, result.

 

Major foreign clubs have always been ahead of us in sports science buster.

When Denis Law played in Italy he got fined by his management for eating a steak on the night prior to a match after he'd been instructed to eat only white meat and pasta. He also received a fine for having a beer instead of a red wine. Treatment like that led to him hiding in Joe Bakers car boot and smuggling himself out that country.

We'd Baxter getting pished on a nightly basis.

I don’t know how the deal works. Do clubs shown more often get more money?

No. It depends on where a team finishes in the league.

I don't mean to be deliberately controversial, but I'm quite happy that Rangers are not crying over every little incident that goes against them.

 

Historically, Rangers have always aimed to show more class and dignity than any other club, in times of success, failure or hardship.

 

Leave playing the victim to Lennon and Lawwell.

That sort of thinking has led to open assaults on our players while others wearing Rangers jerseys receive bookings and red cards at the whim of whatever mank happens to be in charge. In around 55 years of attending games I've never seen it so bad and it's getting worse.

Nobody is "playing the victim" here mate. We ARE the victim. It's so blatant it's downright dishonest.

I pay my money to watch a fair match. Not to be swindled on a weekly basis.
