    Precisely this.

    I wish one day Celtic would stand up and say something official on this. Typical.

    Sorry mate!

    There have been growing concerns about police responsibility and judgement after complaints about Rangers fans sectarian singing were contradicted by both a Stirling Albion spokesperson and the lack of sectarian arrests. A spokeswoman for Central Scotland Police said: ‘There was sectarian singing from a section of the visiting support, leading to warnings from the club [stirling Albion] during the first half.’ However, these comments appear to have been contradicted by Stirling Albion spokesperson Mr. Goodwin. He stated that the tannoy message was standard procedure and was not in response to any sectarian singing. The police are under increasing pressure to justify their comments after they refused to highlight what singing was deemed sectarian, and why no arrests were made on sectarian grounds. It is rumoured that within the corridors of power at Ibrox there are deep concerns that the police have pressed the issue to influence Alex Salmond led Sectarian legislation. This legislation, shelved after garnering wide criticism from the legal profession in Scotland for its ambiguity, would have given the police considerable new powers. Sources within the game claimed that the only songs publicly banned – Hello Hello, and the Famine Song – were not heard and expressed their puzzlement at the police’s judgement in the matter. Stirling Albion spokeman Mr. Goodwin thanked the Rangers fans for contributing a great atmosphere at the game and the club for organising it. --- Would it be hard for a friendly or even just responsible journalist to write the above?

    5* stadium, excellent transport links (especially with the new bridges), and pretty near a lot of new attractions. Glad to see they're thinking about this stuff.

    This seems like a good description but I'm not sure if you're joking.

    Always wanted to travel business class. I think I'll sell out and become a corporate lawyer instead of a nice one so I can fly business class and also drink innocent smoothies regularly. I think this fear's underpinning most of what's being said - and it's clearly a fear WS wanted to lay to rest with all the "Ally's got a mean streak" stuff we were hearing at the end of the season. I hope this year's not a hard lesson for McCoist for learning it's better to be feared than loved if you can't have both. It's difficult to pre-judge though - guess we'll find out when the pressure's really on. It's also difficult as he was brought in to inject spirit into the squad and dressing room, among other things. Since almost everyone is still here they're probably going to have to adjust to seeing him play this role to seeing him as the top boss. But if what we hear is right he's been making this transition for a while - his apprenticeship will have certainly given him the best possible grounding.

    What's your reservations?

    There's no doubt Miller succeeded here. Although, his contribution was sometimes slightly overegged. His goals against Celtic wiped out any badge kissing. It's just while everyone else like Davis and McGregor were willing to stick it out for the cause until better circumstances arose he was very quick to jump ship and leave the only manager to make him look like a player in the lurch for a few extra bob when already super rich. Now he doesnae like it and wants back and will no doubt be rewarded, if it happens, with lots of money and a longer contract than he'll have pace. Kinda feel he has made his bed, and we need to be looking to the future. That said, his goals will help us win the league - not sure if now is the time for misplaced idealism or romanticism.

    At least now he's not wrong alone
  11. bmck
    Good point. There is always the chance that he's essentially saying "We will be buying players soon, if you are just holding out to see how far we'll go there's a chance you'll lose a few million for a player you're not going to play".

    I think this probably is to just feed the beast and keep them occupied while he works on more probable things, as someone else pointed out elsewhere. That said, I'd take KM back - so long as the price was right in terms of both transfer fee and wages. There's also a vaguely sour taste in the mouth with KM and his leaving that's hard to justify but is there.

    From what I've read, Danny would rather shoot himself than find himself in the majority too often.
  14. bmck
    I know what I hope they mean!
  15. bmck
    What does mushroomed mean?
  16. bmck

    I'd hate to think

    bmck replied to Danny's topic in Rangers Chat

    Good to be able to agree with you on something Disagree with BJK even. Like the Ibrox disaster etc, it's trivialising something too important for my kind of banter. But football's not too reasonable, and the problem with making some things off limit is that too much goes with it. Doubt anyone will even be that bothered if the boy's not playing.

    Welcome to the friendly-results-are-meaningless team. Grab a pitchfork.
  18. bmck
    Flabbergasted is an emotion. Never really thought of myself as brazen headed - because it doesn't mean anything. Unless you mean I'm the brazen head, which would be cool. Or just brazen, which is probably accurate. Glad to see you u-turn and re-enter the fray! I called it that because the focus of the thread is the reaction to the results. Stop exaggerating!
  19. bmck
    Have you just gone emotional over absolutely nothing? Very disappointing. You take yourself a little too seriously I think.

    6 figure sums != competence! Our situation is part financial, part situational though. We may have the kind of money that they want, but, knowing we're more pushed for time than others, they may chance their arm. That said, if I know we're rushed without Ally saying, I doubt they haven't came to the same conclusion. Yeah, Ally's openness with the press is unusual for us - but dealing with people warmly, and being charming, is one of his strengths in a way it hasn't been for Walter etc, so I'm unsurprised.
  21. bmck
    I am not sure. Ultimately, it's irrelevant. If he is succesful his press strategy will be right, and if he isn't it won't. So, yeah, I have nothing invested in either answer. I'm interested in whether we think it has any direct and real bearing on transfer negotiations, admitting that you need to move quickly - as I read somewhere. That would be broadly my thoughts. I think stating that we need players quickly is probably only sensible if you genuinly think you are going to get them quickly, though. So the next wee bit should be interesting.
  22. bmck
    Just read the thread. No-one changed their minds. Sensible people weren't worried about the result in the first game or the second. There were some worries about the central defense pairing (naturally), but that's it. Yer havering.
  23. bmck
    Because you have a keen insight into the human condition and see that I, like you and everyone else, has absolutely no interest in the truth? Seriously, though - you don't really have any reason to say that and are probably now backtracking because the people I mentioned have been perfectly consistent throughout. I do like the smokescreenery though - very sophisticated. I'm very interested in this Bochum thread now.
  24. bmck
    Either that or I actually am asking it as a fair and impartial question. He has to do things differently to be his own man. The thing I'm most interested in is if people think comments like these actually affect the real world of transfers and fees.
  25. bmck
    Any of what? I've not yet read the Bochum thread but I can't really see Ian, or Johnny, or rbr or Zappa saying anything much different than they've said here. Yes, that parallel universe is the real world.
