"Hearts are a model club"!

Thank you for an insight frothing with penetrative thought. As the seven weeks unfolded, it was increasingly obvious that the Donald was playing a blinder. He shone a number of bright lights into various dark corners. Correctly, I think he identified the hapless Whyte as the pantomime villain. Further, the Donald has left no doubt as to the very real Sir Jasper. There should be a life size portrait of Murray at the top of the marble staircase. The strap line of, "I was duped" should be stamped across. It should be there to remind all climbing said stairs, that he deliberately kicked our dreams and aspirations down those stairs to save his own neck. Reference the trial and the Crown's participation. The Lord Advocate must issue a statement explaining the cost to the public purse, the lack of preparedness, and the embarrassment of a seven week trial culminating in a one fag jury(ie less than two hours deliberation).

You have to admire Stu', the master of concurrent activity. How does he manage to wash Peter's motor whilst blowing his cheese?

Haw George, please allow me to provide my conclusion to an 'objective appreciation' of your club. Pittodrie is a TOILET. Improve the venue and more folks might attend.

Oh my, the Establishment Club's supporters exhibit a sense of entitlement.

Perchance 67-68 season? We lost the last game of the season versus Aberdeen at Ibrox, 2-3.

Reference John McMillan's verbal interpretation of Edvard Munch's most famous exercise in daubing paint. I spoke to a few of his fellow Dandies last Saturday morning. I asked if they were concerned at their club missing the deadline for submission for planning consent reference the latest location for their proposed new stadium? I believe it be the third proposed location in the last decade? Their replies mirrored an acceptance that their club was somewhere between £10-£15 million short, in securing any successful conclusion. I asked why the rest of Scottish football should be paying premium prices to sit/stand in a ground for the worst sight lines in the country, inadequate toilet facilities, narrow aisles, and 35 year old rusting seats bolted to 60 year old crumbling concrete? I wondered why the relevant authorities award Pittodrie the necessary licenses every year? The reply of, "it does a job" is akin to the ground, inadequate! BBC Scotland has several Dandy Dons supporters banging out Stand Free propaganda on a daily basis. Their demands that everyone celebrates Aberdeen's position as second best team in the country is embarrassing. Why doesn't one of them secure Milne for interview to find out when the Pittodrie toilet will be condemned? Further, why do we NOT hear the voices of both Falkirk and Raith Rovers fans on the subject? Falkirk were denied legitimate promotion because their ground was deemed inadequate. The club that escaped legitimate relegation was Aberdeen. Sporting integrity anyone? Raith had to build two stands they could ill afford for one season in the Premiership, 25 years of penury has ensued. John McMillan should be asked this question; instead, he has been allowed to aim another kick at Rangers, and no doubt being cheered to the echo.

I hope the SPFL have factored in ra Sellik's post-season tour of Japan? We are moving into the tenth year of Peter's pledge; surely, he intends to fulfill this close season? I am beginning to suspect Peter tells porkies! How's that pledge to find the culprit that hit Fernando Ricksen with a lighter going?

As an 8 year old schoolboy, my old man took me to the Scottish Cup final replay in 1966. I have wonderful memories of front row seats in the old main stand. The striking illumination emanating from flood lighting, the bovril served in black and white banded waxed cups, and the very size of the assembling Rangers support. I remember the teams being announced and Dad picking me up and swinging around when Jimmy Millar was named. My old man worshiped at the altar of Millar, and told those surrounding that, "Jimmy will see us lift the cup". We did, with a wonderful King Kai strike. Other Gersnetters will have evocative memories of their formative times engaging with Rangers, they are all legitimate. Jimmy Millar is mine connecting my deceased father. Millar's condition is progressive and he will diminish. He is immortal to me, and mine.

We are all products of our conditioning. I grew up watching, 'It's a Knockout'. We should all be allowed to play our joker in a nominated game. Eddie Waring Loyal RSC.

Second is a most impatient General Officer Commanding, Robert E Lee. The GOC that defeated him at Gettysburg, George Meade was patient enough to await Massa Robert's impatience. James Longstreet Loyal RSC.

I woulds like to echo the thanks to Rousseau for both the organisation and weekly analysis. Congratulations to most worthy winner, Yorkshire Bear. If the club ever decide to indulge in 'Moneyball' analysis and approach, then the two mentioned posters are your men. After a decade of posting on the forum, this was my first year of participating in Bluebear's wonderful creation. It became quite addictive.

Saints 1 Rangers 1. FGS : Garner.

Aw fcuk, BBC Scotland will now subject us to lots more of Dundee's Man in the Know, Jum Spence!

Rangers 2 Aberdeen 1. FGS : Garner.

Rangers 2 Hearts 1. FGS : Miller.

It should be pointed out that Darren Cooney is currently the Sports Editor at the Daily Record. Further, there appears to be confusion because of the Cooney surname, many assume he is former Sellik PRO and Radio Snyde CEO, Paul Cooney's son. He is not, no relation. He is the son of former Aberdeen football journo, Bryan Cooney. Darren Cooney purports to be a Dandy Don. Certainly, he has displayed venomous hatred for our club and support. The current Editor of the Daily Record, Murray Foote must address this situation.

The Darren Cooney situation is truly shocking. I remember ra Sellik targeting the Daily Record back in the day withe 'Thugs and Thieves' headline. They informed their support by telling them to consider their daily newspaper purchase, and lectured their corporate fans on the wisdom of advertising in the blatt. They put that headline, 'Thugs and Thieves' on their big screens to raise the ire. Now, the Daily Record is a commercial partner of ra Sellik, on Lawwell's terms.

Reference racism. When BBC Scotland did their follow up to 1986's 'Only a Game', it was handed over pretty much to Stuart Cosgrove. It was entitled 'Scotland's Game' and it's remit was to update the original, thirty years since it's release. Their was a huge glaring error in episode one, Mark Walters debut at Sellik Park on the 2nd January'88. The single worse example of racism in UK football. It is deserving of a one-two hour documentary all on it's own. The club should be asking BBC Scotland to explain it's omission.

Back in the day, any criticism of the club and support was ignored, dignified silence was the maim. However, if anyone criticised SDM, there was an all guns blazing reaction. It seems to me, and the article supports my view; nothing has changed. The Board is failing in a number of important areas, including a lack of response to the concerns of the support. Club 1872 may be on the way to proving it is a fire without a chimney?

He originates from Dingwall, and he spouts the narrative of being a life long Ross County supporter. He is a man in his fifties, thus County have been a Highland League club for the majority of his life, all of his formative years. His older colleagues say he was an Aberdeen supporter before he left BBC Scotland for the wealth of Setanta. The Ross County fixation being promoted on his return to PQ. The continuous narrative is Rangers hating. There's another thing, McLean returns to BBC Scotland and receives no grief. Similarly, Charlie Mann and Jum Spence. Cosgrove spent two hours on Saturday berating Daryl Broadfoot reference Level 5. Why such a hard-on for Jim Traynor's company?

Next season, if we are allowed to play Thistle every week, we might land a trophy?

I am beginning to wonder if the Manager has decided to demonstrate the paucity of the squad? A most dangerous game. Further, if I have picked up correctly on Pedro's utterances this week, he intends on informing each member of the squad reference their Rangers' futures, tomorrow. That will augur well for the remaining three games.

I would be happier if Waggy could control a ball in less than three touches. When Thistle are in possession, there is no pressure on the ball, or the space around the ball. I suspect any equaliser in this game will have to be at the expense of a Jags player's mistake. No attempts on target in the first 45 minutes, AGAIN!

Are we playing 4-2-4?
