Blueforyou, without getting into the rights and wrongs of it, many Scottish Rangers fans are disinterested (for want of a better word) in international football. I am one such fan and all we really care about is Rangers.
I fully respect your loyalty to your national side and as a fellow Brit, I always like to see Northern Ireland do well.
With regards to Lafferty, I didn't want Rangers to re-sign him and don't think he has many admirable traits, other than being a half decent footballer. But he's a Rangers player, so most of us want to see him help Rangers back to winning the league.
There's no need to have a go at other Bears or indeed this forum. It doesn't stink. There are, of course, opposing views on pretty much every matter but that's something we're all used to (I would've thought). Craig is a good Bear.
Good luck to Northern Ireland and best wishes to our fans over there but Rangers come first for me.
