I sincerely hope that Murray gives the SPL and SFA both barrels over this disgusting and embarrassing state of affairs. I mean, it's as if no one likes us...........

Ah, congratulations, Herr Bluedell.

Great gesture letting the bears in for free. So proud to be a bear. Still, even if I didn't have a ticket:thup: , think I'd rather be watching the game on a big screen in Manchester. Here's hoping things get sorted out and we can all have the time of our fucking lives:cheers:

Alright cheers lads. I'm gonna go make up my Ogiebe Mbaba bus pass right now.

OK so I've got my hands on 2 tickets for a ridiculous amount of money. The tickets have the guy's name on them and the back of the ticket says the tickets aren't transferable and that you need id to get in. Does anyone have experience of this? Buying personalised tickets from a tout I mean. All the pics of tickets on ebay have the names blacked out by marker pen or otherwise. Is that what you need to do?? This is so fucking annoying and has somewhat spoiled the sheer elation of getting hold of them. I cant help picturing the worst nightmare situation......... Help.

The papers today (evening times) do not make happy reading. The authorities in Manc are saying that despite early reports there will not be any big screens showing the match and that the fanzones will only be open to those with tickets. I'm absolutely fucking furious. Unless I get a ticket I'm reconsidering whether its worth going down and potentially missing the game due to everyone trying to cram into the pubs. Unbelievable. They are actually "urging ticketless fans not to travel". Are they that fucking naieve???

You said it Gribz. I'd take Smith in a heartbeat. Cuellar? Well, he's the love of my life!!

It doesn't offend me in any way. I couldn't give a fuck about the pope or the queen for that matter. What does enrage me however is this arsehole's selfishness. He should be taken down the A and E and shown what goes on there after important old firm games. His intentions were purely inflammatory and if his childish T shirt meant one more guy got a kicking on Sunday, which it probably did, then he should be made to pay for his actions.As a player you don't go stoking the fires on old firm day if you are a decent human being. You won't get hurt (unless you go clubbing that very night..) someone else will. That's why he's a despicable cunt.

1-0 Rangers, Novo. Which is 40/1 with Will Hill by the way!!

is thomson not suspended????

Totally agree. Was raging last night but feeling much better about things today. Good on you Fraser. WATP.

hmmm, hate to say it but I have a bad feeling about this one. it's all going too smoothly. I think we'll miss thomson more than some people think. Still, I'm not about to predict a beggar win. 0-0.

Canny see it. Would love it right enough. Where were the Lovenkrands rumours?? He used to infuriate me when he was here but now i think we're crying out for pace on the wing. Having said that he was most effective as a striker i seem to remember. Dunno about that one. Prefer the Aaron lennon chat.

Far too much worrying about the beggars going on here. Fuck them. The league will always be there for us. Winning a European trophy would pretty much make my life! Never mind giving them the helicopter feeling. Let's give them the European trophy at the brox feeling. nineteen sixty what?? Get it right up ye. We'd still qualify for the CL anyway with the boost our seeding will have got from this year's run.

It can be frustrating when you see a fairly powderpuff team like Lisbon "getting away with it" when we have posession due to a lack of outlets up front. But it's like one clued up bear said to me in the pie queue at half time. "Sometimes ah wish we just got fucked right intae teams, never mind this 4-5-1 pish, but Walter's got us by the bawz doesn't he!!" He certainly does. Patience bears, patience. We love you Walter, we do..........

Sterling work as per usual. Is there a copy of the plan available for viewing?

That's a belter indeed hahahahaha!!!

Aye I,ve never understood what the problem with Castle Greyskull was. I was an eighties kid and to have people refer to Ibrox as the source of all the power of good in the world is surely a comlpiment. Not to mention the fact that its a fortress! By the power of Greyskull!!!!!! We're Gonne Hump Yeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 serious knee injuries as well.........

Great clip. Aye thats my favourite Albertz goal for sure. He just stepped up a gear every time we played the f####ers. Ally's celebration makes me want to greet with joy!

Typical beggar behaviour. After Saturday they can fly wherever the fuck they like.

Broadwood here I come. Mon the big man!!!!!

He's done well right enough. Do we reckon he could move in and do a job rather than buying another centre half?

I am absolutely delighted and somewhat amazed with the way Walter has transformed us into a genuine force again. I am grateful to him for letting me taste success again. It's good to be a bear these days and I am not advocating a change in style for the simple reason that we dont have the players to do it at the moment. The players we sign in the summer will illustrate the fact that our current style is borne out of necessity, not choice. No matter how sophisticated a pallette one may have, we were turgid against United in the final and it was a miracle we won it. Same goes for Partick thistle. I am not whinging as the results are what matter, of course they are, but you cant seriously ENJOY watching us plod around the way we do in some games. It's not supposed to be attractive its supposed to be effective, which it is.This does not mean that teams which play flowing football are akin to alco-pops. Do I like watching Barcelona or Arsenal because I am unsophisticated? We can play ole football as you say, we were superb away to hearts recently and before that away to Hibs. I'm afraid I'd just like to see a bit more of it, especially since I know we've got it in us. Maybe we'll get some on Saturday. I seem to remember cheering every pass towards the end of the last OF............

I don't buy it for a minute that sellic are pish the now and we're the favourites by a mile. The excuses are already on the table from the beggars but the fact is they've been playing better football than us most weekends. We really can be dire to watch at the moment and I just hope we raise our game come saturday. I've had the buzz since Monday but it's more fear as there is so much riding on this one. I reckon its game over if we win, but the crawing would be unbearable if they win and then go on to pip us to the flag after us sitting above them for so long. Too many negative thoughts I know!!!!! I hope WS doesn't play Mculloch. I know charlie's been off form recently but you need someone who can make set pieces count in these games, not someone who can win you headers on the wing. Mon the Bears.
