Unbelievable. I guarantee that if it were Rangers fans in an identical incident we would not get favourable press.

Also got a twitter feed if you're on there:

Happy to do similar for anyone else too.

In the process of starting up my own business to do PT privately and less through a major gym chain who cream off a large portion of the income.

Have someone making me a website and whilst I wait for that I have set up a facebook page:

http://www.facebook.com/#!/PersonalTrainingResults

Would appreciate it if you guys on here could like the page. Not looking for any business or money through advertising it here (i'm based in Buckinghamshire anyway and most here are Scotland based). But the extra likes will help it appear more popular and hopefully increase my audience.

Also hapy to talk fitness, healtha and training with anyone who wants to.

Cheers

12k every time mate, don't be silly.

Yeh, potentially double the wages. Who wouldn't take that.

To us on Gersnet it would be the opportunity of the life time. The stuff of dreams. To them its a job.

I've never set foot in Sports Direct. It's a pretty shite shop.

How do you know then?

Is this to do with that pub in Dingwall and the Ross County game I read about?

Puts our media to shame!!

I think that you are missing something.

 

If you're referring to Naismith, then he could have transferred across and then gone to Everton which would have been straightforward due to the minimum release clause in his renegotiated contract. However that would have resulted in more money for the club and less for him so he didn't do it.

Who's to say Everton or whoever would still have come in for him if they had to pay a fee. Yeh, someone probably still would have. But if its a choice between a definite and an unknown what would most people do.

Naismith didn't know anything about the people coming into the club and by all accounts the players weren't being kept up to date. More worrying time for them with their jobs on the line.

As I say, talking from an uneducated position and may be missing some of it.

Interesting to note that you may well have acted the same and understand the full sentiment of your last line.

Didnt notice that bf had already suggested this on first read of the thread.

I'm sure there's a simple way around the "security" issue. Vet applicants like a job interview.

Another problem is that the one man is also responsible for a variety of other tasks.

 

As always, we're spread too thinly behind the scenes.

Bet there's some tech minded fans who would do it for free given the opportunity? Worth suggesting if you know who is responsible?

I didn't read much of the stuff about finances etc. It got depressing, hard to keep up and my work has me working long days so if it wasn't a quick job to find out the "truth" then I didn't have time to read 50 different opinions on what was going on and then guess at the closest truth.

That said, if your company is going bust and you dont know whats happening and Everton for example are offering you £20 grand a week you would be stupid not to go. If they hung around at Rangers there's no guarantee they'd up with another club (certainly not as good an offer anyway) and are potentially damaging their future career and international prospects. Easy to say hang around when your own ability means you'd be lucky to get a game for the Nags head XI in your local Sunday league. Fair different when you're an International class footballer.

But maybe I missed something?

They've just had a few Bears calling in and saying they are member of this place and that it's better than another Rangers forum that we all know of lol

Thats mostly down to me tbf!

To be fair though we're not going to come up against many teams as good as Falkirk(i'm not taking the piss!) That was a big test for us to come through tonight

How the mighty have fallen, but you are right we wont play many games as tough as tonight. Possibly some Div 1/SPL in cups if we get that far.

I look at the headlines and open it up if it interests me. I don't use Newsnow, although have in the past.

Exactly the same as yourself. Look at the ones that interest me and also no longer use newsnow having previously done so. Works well for me with the feeds here.

its always been the Boleyn ground but is located in Upton park.

 

much like celtc park is often called parkhead.

Point still stands then, fans call it what they want regardless of the "official" name.

I have managed to dodge all information on the SPL. I have no idea who plays who or what any scores are or were.

I'm the same. Treat the SPL how I used to treat everything below it.

Sports Direct @ Ibrox Stadium, couple of million a year job done.

 

I could live with that.

West Ham haven't played at Upton Park in a very long. Boleyn Ground is it now?

Many example where names and stadiums change but the fans stick with the old one. They could call it what they want but we'd still call it Ibrox and I dont see a problem with that if it increases our revenue significantly.

I don't read many of his articles due to the inaccuracies. What was it he said about them and how was he correct and what was the significance?

 

Let's see what lies he has told recently . He incorrectly said that the JJB deal still existed and had 4 years to run. He said that accounts will not be published.

Not read any of his columns for a while. Not read much footy news at all over the summer as it was all about finances and administration and I found it hard to do. Disappointed that he has fallen so as he used to be a decent blogger fighting our corner.

We could just replace the SSN SPL RSS feed with the official SFL site IRN-BRU Third Division News RSS feed. At least we'll be getting 3rd division news feeding in rather than a load of pish about Celtic and the other SPL clubs.

I vote for this. More relevant to us and this site.

We've been bumped into div 3. A big win doesn't paper over the "cracks". They're not cracks at Ibrox right now. They're giant fuck off, meteoric craters!

But we're on our way up and things can only get better as we rise back through the ranks of Scottish football.

As some of you will know I recently wrote a piece for Rangers media & thecoplandroad.org on Paul Elliott lying about our fans. Article is here

 

http://rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?...her&Itemid=618

 

As you'll see from the article I was getting nowhere untill Clarke Carlisle got involved. Clarke has been excellent through this and lastnight came back to me with this:

 

Hi Brent,

 

Your piece is very, very interesting. The amount of research that has gone into it and the level of knowledge that you have (and would have access to), make me compelled to ask further questions. I hope you understand that I can't immediately agree or disagree with you, especially when I have the opportunity to take it to the accused's door, which is exactly what I'm doing.

 

I asked my colleagues at the union and they agree that that should be my course of action, and I think it's only fair that I let Paul respond. As and when he does I will let you know, and I'll hopefully be in a position to add an opinion.

 

God bless,

 

Clarke Carlisle

 

 

It may come to something or nothing but one way or another we will get a response. I'll keep you all posted here & on twitter @brentmacfarlane thanks to everybody for their praise and support of the article.

thebluenosebear on FF.

THink they meant "Former" and not "latter" when referring to the two Walters incidents at parkhead and tynecastle. Mostly really well written though.

Still managed to slip in that it's all our fault. If we've paid our debts then how can we be accused for them struggling in the current season. They can of course, survive without us. They've been telling us as much!

Sort of agree with Metlika - foreign names are all well and good, but I'd like to see it leavened with two or three seasoned Scots pros who have operated at first division level. We'll need plenty of dig as well as ability. But it's good to see McCoist adopting my FM tactic of offering a trial to any player who is ooc - sometimes you pick up a diamond.

Maybe McCoist feels like he's brought in the players with experience in the Scottish game in Kyle, Black, Shiels and even Sandaza?

daily record says 35k sold. with 4hr long ques,already today we could be looking at record sales. 43k is the record I believe.

35k already sold seems a big jump from the numbers of the past few days. How accurate is this likely to be?
