    From memory, Motherwell. I believe 'Well scored circa 120 goals that season.

    We had a lad on the supporters bus, his nickname was 'Vim', and he had a technique with a two bob bit(a florin). He opened the entire top of a can, and everybody had a vessel for the necessary. Ah, the terracing steps of Ibrox in full cascade! Warm memories.

    Aye Roy, your club is a stick-on for relegation, and it's NOT your fault. You spent big close season, brought in Dutch players on lucrative contracts, released them during the transfer window, and spent big bringing in another five players. It's NOT your manager, Jim McIntyre's fault, nor is it his deputy, Billy(I can no longer consider myself a Rangers supporter)Dodds fault. Certainly, it's NOT the fault of the denizens of Dingwall; ah mean, nearly 1,500 turned up for a recent home game against St Johnstone. Of course, it's somebodies' fault. The current path of least resistance is found in the mantra, 'it's Rangers fault'. Well, you've had your rant, and the creeping reality is next season, you'll be playing big, bad Rangers. I know you will change your tune when you are anxiously looking to off-load 8,000(over two games) tickets to visiting fans. I hope my fellow Bears remember your swinging of an ill-deserved boot and forego the trip up the A9.

    Sandy Easdale joined your RSC?

    I await BBC Scotland's Chris McLaughlin's interpretation on this one. I am sure Toxic Jack will brief Chris, as usual.

    In 1976, a dozen of us from Strathclyde Uni' decided to travel on the Duke Street Bristol Bar bus, to Birmingham for a Saturday afternoon friendly against Aston Villa. The bus was leaving at midnight on Friday, after the pub closed. Approximately, 70 Bears loaded on to a SMT double decker. Accompanied by a similar number of cargoes. The Convenor explained there was a comfort five gallon drum on the downstairs back seat. He indicated drum and location using a funnel, which he placed in the small aperture. Obviously, a well rehearsed practise which avoided stops, and it worked well over the next three hours. Gradually, the bus fell asleep as it continued down the M6. Around Knutsford, a screaming match erupted as a few Bears waking up, went to use the service and discovered someone had crapped in the funnel. Loud recriminations ensued, and medieval threats issued, the culprit must identify himself. The phantom funnel crapper remains a mystery.

    Another excellent statement.

    I share your concern for the blogging scene. The main weapon being levelled is NOT the RST statement, but the Rangers Tax Case Blog. It was lionised and eulogised for two years by the usual suspects in both broadcast and print media. It was awarded the Orwell Prize. It was the constant ambient mood music to all things Rangers. Where is it now and whose mantelpiece displays the Orwell Prize? An objective appreciation of the Rangers Tax Case Blog would be a start to protecting the services provided by blogging.

    The Mrs McGuire mentioned? Is this Anne McGuire, MP for Stirling? Both her, and high profile Solicitor husband, Len were/are the controlling shareholders in Clyde FC.

    An excellent statement from the RST. Today, I read a piece in the middle pages of the Herald by their Chief Political Correspondent, Robbie Dinwoodie. He is the latest useful idiot to be utilised by the usual Yahoo suspects. Ra Bhoy in Corduroy must be considered hors de combat? Anyways, Robbie is a self confessed season ticket holder at Tynecastle; or as he puts it, "often referred to as the diet h-u-ns". He is concerned, the full fat variety(ie us) are lost souls, in a constant state of angst, and ready to boil over. He states, we attacked Hearts supporters and their buses at Ibrox a fortnight past, and Sunday at Hampden will be too much to bear. Oh, and we would find equilibrium if we ape those perfect maroon role models, 'the Foundation of Hearts'. It's lazy journalism without reference(I believe the combination of both RF/BR outnumbers the maroon effort); however, Robbie is clearly setting the ground and situation. There will be trouble and it will all be our fault. Next week, Robbie will tell what is left of the Herald readership, that there is a £450million hole in the Scottish NHS budget, and it's all our fault.

    I believe Steve Simonsen had a ton on us finishing the semi-final with ten men. Now, Craig Thomson has got the gig, Steve has banged on a grand we will finish with nine.

    Remember, MON's wife, Geraldine has a medical condition.

    Charles of Normandy in the pokey? Je suis Charlie. Throw away the Key Loyal RSC.
  14. 26th of foot
    Just a thought, can anyone indulge? We need short term organisation and work ethic, what is Billy Reid doing these days?
  15. 26th of foot
    Ah but, can the rest of SPFL management drive a team coach like Badyin McFadyin?

    This time next week, Jimmy Bell will be Boss.

    Both hands on the clipboard. Has this resignation been verified by a recognised source?

    It's not about being loved. The AIM is to conduct a successful legitimate protest against a clueless Board that cares not a jot for Rangers supporters' sensitivities. Achieving the aim demands both individual and collective discipline. Thus, nothing should be allowed that runs interference with the agreed message to be promoted. Songs, surging, snowballing, physical confrontation with the Polis, ................. etc are unwanted and unnecessary diversions. The various media should have been gathered at a desired spot, and at least a couple of designated Bears should be waiting to provide the narrative. Done properly, in fact even done half way properly, we could have blamed the Board for Friday evening's weather. Instead, the accepted wisdom is that events were, "an embarrassment to Scottish football". Only by a disciplined effort to change it, can we change it. Adhere to the AIM.

    I await my epiphany.

    On two broadcasts over the weekend, Tom English has drawn attention, "to another bout of sectarian singing" on three separate occasions. Don't worry, it hasn't been missed, in fact it's being celebrated by the usual suspects. The Herald's Senior Reporter, Gerry Braiden is on the front page today, putting a particular spin on the Wetherspoons story. He is controlling the narrative, preparing the ground for the eventuality of any troubles surrounding the up coming old firm match. Gerry is pointing a finger, leading the reader to conclude the major cause of the bother.

    I believe all protests carried out by supporters groups MUST remain dignified, the legitimate sentiments being expressed echo louder. A loss of discipline is what the detractors are relying on, most in both broadcast and print media have settled on Friday night's events being poisonous. This allows them to lazily revert to time honoured modes of reporting all things Rangers and supporters. For protest to work effectively, you MUST control the narrative. Maintain discipline and we have a chance.

    It appears the RFFF Committee is moribund?

    I thought I would relate a telephone conversation held last evening with an old Hearts supporting mate. He had read the post and was particularly interested in the Kenny Aird inspired skelping, and asked for a date. I suggested early season 73/74? We got to talking about Rangers/Hearts games in the late 60s/early 70s and how the winter fixture was always a trial on the eyes. Standing at the back of an open, high terrace in the rain/glaur/darkness, watching under comparatively(by today's standards) poor floodlighting; by the middle of the second half, it was increasingly difficult to differentiate between the teams. Both Ibrox and Tynecastle were heavily sanded through the middle, and both turfs cut-up right from the off. Similar dark coloured jerseys and the same shorts and dark socks; all splattered with mud, made things difficult. The game that was an immediate relief was December'72, Hearts turned up in their maroon and white version of the iconic Ajax strip. It was below freezing, a dozen fires burning on the terraces. We battered the Jam Tarts for ninety minutes, couldn't score. In injury time, they ran up the pitch and Tommy Murray sat on the ball(just like Bud had done in the League Cup final in front of Jim Craig), stood up and laid off a pass(possibly to Carruthers), who crossed to the back post where the mercurial Donald Ford was waiting to nod the winner. The new strips on a frozen hard pitch meant we all had a great view. The Jambos, if the mate's attitude is typical, are salivating in anticipation of Friday evening. The phone was placed down when I enquired as to the whereabouts of Albert Kidd and Henry Smith?

    There are redundant Inter-continental ballistic missile silos available in Idaho at very reasonable rates. Our separated brethren will never think to hunt you down there, Idaho is the 'Potato State'.
  25. 26th of foot
    If Kenny McD' continues to omit Black from the team, will he sit on the bench or join his fellow Jambos in the corner of Broomloan/Govan? What's the betting?
