I really wanted that penalty to be given because I was curious to see who would take it; Tav had missed a few but prior to that he looked invincible from the spot.

Would be nice if Nathan Patterson could challenge him this season. Goldson is the one who is undroppable; he might be a future captain?

And hopefully that signals the end of loan deals whether from L'pool or anywhere else. Unless it was Curtis Jones or Nico Williams.

And not forgetting Leon King.

Foreign ignorance. No excuse for the British media though. Admin can we close?

I wasn't thinking of the US to be honest - in the UK we shouldn't need the addition to distinguish us from Berwick, Stafford or even QPR.

In that podcast mentioned above it was suggested that some of the worst comments came from recent accounts so the forums may well have been trolled. In any event we should NOT beat ourselves up too much; it is a societal problem and every club will have its nutters. Every club.

That's an oxymoron I would have thought.

I did but I have to disagree with Tess saying the far left and the far right are both as bad as each other - the far right does not believe in equality in any way.

I wonder if Charloch was present at the Mo Johnston signing. He probably would have said, " We're inclusive but not THAT inclusive"!

Jings! What do you want them to say? That black lives do not matter? So much misinformation on here that I know not where to begin: Every Communist revolution has been fomented by an academic/social elite and then that elite has ruled with an iron fist over the population. The Paris Commune? It was ordinary working people. The 1917 Bolshevik Revolution (bolshevik means majority)? Read 'Animal Farm' and 'Revolution Betrayed' (the clue is in the title) by L. Trotsky. When you have a revolution you first have to protect and defend it, otherwise you get a counter-revolution. "Rangers advancing a Marxist agenda" - oh my, if only!

Honestly I think you are very confused and over-reacting: to say that the club is immersed in neo-marxist axioms is near-hysteric: it is just about doing what is right. Rangers fans and other may have thought they were fighting against fascism but there is plenty of evidence to suggest that the British ruling class were not anti-Hitler and Mussolini per se. Indeed, Lord Halifax only turned against Hitler when he realised that his landed estates would be under threat. Marxism and fascism are emphatically not two sides of the same coin; Lenin's idea of the dictatorship of the proletariat is but the prelude to complete freedom for all, free from ruling elites. Fascism has no such ideal other than the rule of the elite. As for free speech I think you'll find it very much continues thanks to social media, some of which is quite sickening.

'Someone else'? 'Expense'? Sorry......?

What's the point being made here? That because one pervert has been discovered linked to BLM that the movement is irretrievably tarnished? Well by that logic the monarchy is tarnished by Prince Andrew.

Think you are being harsh on the club here. Taking the initiative on 'Everyone, Anyone' I think signals the way forward.

Marxists will support the BLM despite its inchoate character but I find it interesting that you should have assumed and defined its character when its leadership - or lack of - is still open to question. Then you go on to quote Gramsci who some consider a marxist. What BLM have done is to link racism to capitalist elites, to point out that it is but a tool to maintain control. If you are trying to deny this then you should be more explicit I think. Personally I think the club has done nothing wrong.

If I remember aright the poster apologised, only some ungracious people would not accept his apology or his reason for the inappropriate comment.

Oh, absolutely.

If you want an analogy just think how public attitudes to homosexuality have changed. Most people now just don't get agitated by it yet in my young days you could hardly discuss it.

Interesting question; not sure if you can compare it to mathematics. But my point is really that it is a way of looking and analysing the world and really needs a lifetime of study.

You know I'd already written that game off, based on our home defeat and the fact that Bayer are well into their season. But I'm now starting to hope. Would be the greatest result ever in Europe should we turn this round.

There comes a point when a gesture just becomes meaningless through repetition. I think the knee-taking must now be put to rest. It is a political question now and needs a political solution.

I said elswehere that 'Everyone Anyone' should be broadcast more widely (maybe on the jersey) than just on flash screens at Central Station. It could become synonymous with our club.

Wrong. Your understanding of marxism is based on the Sun and Daily Mail. Marxism is a method, a science of dialectics.
