    Cosgrove, yer teas oot!
  2. 26th of foot
    On Saturday, I listened to Cosgrove lionise Dundee United. They are the Yes club from Yes City. Their Chairman, Stephen Thompson came out last Monday, supporting a Yes vote and urging club supporters to follow his lead. In excess of 40% of Dundonians voted No, many of those will be United fans, how do they feel? I suspect they will quietly continue to follow their team. Let's take this rationale to it's conclusion. Tommy Sheridan is in this morning's Herald, urging everyone to join the SNP. Thus, a Trot' socialist is succumbing to the warm waters of nationalism. The Sunday Post has submitted a FOI request reference the First Minister's meetings with Rupert Murdoch. Apparently, Eck has met Rupert on more occasions than all other party leaders put together. So, Tommy wants everyone to join the party led by the guy desperate to solicit the support of an Australian octogenarian that put Tommy in the tin pail. What team should Tommy support?

    I can empathise with the OP too. I voted No in the referendum, and no, I do not think I was duped. I was disgusted by the way the more extreme elements in the Yes campaign(the Yestapo) claimed the sole right to the Saltire. It's my flag too. Similarly, those Unionists that indulged in triumphalism upon George Square do not own the Union flag, that's my flag too. Twenty years ago, I began a journey of disengaging from physical support of the national team. I continue to want Scotland to win every game, although my support is very much from the armchair. Boing Rangers players, Iain Ferguson, Barry Ferguson, and most recently, Ian Black has become a habit to the Tartan Army. Blaming Rangers for all Scottish football's ills has become compulsory, and again being told continually that ALL Bears support England, has confirmed my disengagement. However, Scotland remains my country and my team. The actions of several hundred(police figures) fellow Scots waving flags aggressively at each other in George Square should not deter the majority of us from getting on supporting our team and country in whatever way we find most comfortable.

    Ally should demand we sign another three keepers.

    I note the Tartan Army are proposing NOT to join in with the national anthem, 'the Flower of Scotland' before the next Euro international against Georgia at Ibrox. Apparently, the line, 'and be a nation again' is now redundant in light of yesterday's referendum result. A new national anthem is urgently required and the rabid Rangers hating website, Pie and Bovril are considering hosting an opinion poll on the matter. I suggested Dougie McLean's 'Caledonia', preferably sung by Frankie Miller. A perfect fit for Ibrox since Frankie's grandfather was Archie Kyle. An inside forward that played five seasons at Rangers over a century past, very popular and whisper it, a catholic. Remember, we didn't sign any until MoJo. I offered Andy Stewart's 'Donald, whaurs yer troosers', most fitting and in keeping with the determined East of Brigadoon chic adorned by the vast majority of the Tartan Army. Finally, I inquired as to the acceptability of a really catchy anthemic tune beloved at the old stadium, 'the Billy Boys'? The barstewards deleted my post. I was trying to be helpful too.

    I believe ICT have both Shinnie and Draper suspended for this game, as such their midfield might be lacking. Yogi is playing mind games by making us favourites. ICT fans are not on message, they appear highly confident of replicating the Arabs two in two demolitions.

    I thank everyone for their contributions. I am driving at eg, our goalkeeping situation. Bell picks up an injury and Simonsen is back-up; we have further back-up in the lad, Kelly. If further belt and braces is deemed necessary(and it would appear, it was), then we sign Lee Robinson on a contract. Why did we not sign a temporary loan deal for 4 months to tide us over and save dosh? Again, happy to see the debate taking shape on past loan signings; but why have we shied away from loan signings these last two and a bit years? I suspect every other senior club in Scottish football has at least one loan signing.

    I know we have a dozen or so players out on loan to other clubs, been a pretty consistent feature of the club during the on going turmoil. Currently, are we recipients of any loan players? Have we been recipients of any loan players in the last two and a bit seasons? I ask, because I don't think we have any loan signings and this must be unique in the Scottish/British game. Why we would we not bring in a few loan signings?

    In the spirit of the Fans' Board, can I vote early and often, from France?

    Increasingly, I find one has to anaesthetize oneself before facing the Gersnet music. This last week, and next, I am resident on the Ile D'Oleron. A dozen Huitres are 7 euros, a bottle of red wine vinegar is 2 euros, a demi-kilo of charlottes is under a euro, and the local Rose(takes 3-4 glasses to begin to find an appreciation) is under 2 euros a bottle. There is an Oleronaise custom of morning beer too, works for me. I suspect it's a rehydration thing? Anyways, after morning beer and a robust oyster and rose lunch; Gersnet is just another cork waiting to be pulled.

    Bill Leckie is a Buddy. Six years past, it was a former member of the RST Board that found Bill subscribing to an on-line Dating forum. On this occasion, he was searching for a butt-buddy.

    I am sure ra Sellik can easily make such a shortfall by Peter organising a few post-season tours of Japan?

    I would like to offer both Robbie and Craig congratulations on their considerable foresight, preparing to play games with ten men. I note today's game against Falkirk saw Prince Baubin red carded. I make that three red cards in four league games.

    I was speaking with a non-Rangers supporting, recently retired Solicitor 3-4 weeks past and this subject arose. He reckoned the personal motivation among most behind the continuing appeals, is to preserve confidentiality. If HMRC accept the rulings at any point, then the layers of confidentiality can begin to be stripped away. Keep it active, keep it safe. Again, if the current(and previous Boards) were remotely interested, they would build a raft of political support.

    Clyde had a home tie against Cowdenbeath.

    I note in three Championship games, Hearts have accumulated 13 yellow cards and two reds. The manager(is it Craig, or is it Robbie) has informed us that they prepare for matches, expecting to be reduced to ten men. In eight out of the last ten seasons, Hearts have been fined the maximum amount by the SFA for continued ill-discipline. The boys in maroon will suffer constantly throughout the season, deserved suspensions will ensue. I suspect Rangers have a similar potential contained in two players. Both Bilel Mohsni and Ian Black style of approach often sees them on the cusp of red cards. Currently, Black is out the team. His direct replacement, Jig is not the long term/medium term answer, but he does recycle the ball quicker than Black. We have had one caution in two matches and it's Mohsni, would it be prudent for the manager to remove what is becoming an obvious problem? If we pick up a couple of reds in three games, it will be talked about, constantly.

    If the Eagles secure Mr McCoist as their next manager(here's hoping), will Selhurst Park become, 'the Ally Palais'?

    I would like to echo Zappa's sentiments. This forum is a wonderful mechanism for all it's users and it's essential that regular participants provide the necessary stimulus to keep it moving forward. I would hope there is enough appreciation to inspire some collective responsibility? It's shoulder to the wheel time.

    The real shockeroonie tonight is that Hearts only had one player cautioned.

    Not Ian McEwan's best book, and the film did not elevate. I can recommend, Saturday, the Cement Garden, and On Chesil Beach.

    Surely, a pretty simple piece of administration is required by our club to accommodate any away supporters in the Championship? Just how bad is it in the Laager?

    Goalkeepers are big awkward types that insist on hanging around with footballers. I liked Simo's kit last evening, a nice pastel powder blue affair. Maybe, that is the future of goalkeeping, utilise them as a blank canvas for revenue raising advertising?

    Gordon's legacy is a collection of insightful pieces, something his pernicious condition could not destroy.

    Reference the RFC Fans' Board. Reminds me of sitting Higher History(Traditional) 40 years past. The detached British Government's attempts to deal with the revolution in the Americas was parcelled into two Acts, the Canada Act and the Continental Act. One was described as, 'a fire without a chimney', and the other as, 'a chimney without a fire'. Seems equally applicable to the RFC Fans Board. I have an idea, since we the supporters are the single biggest investor in the club, season after season. How's about a couple of Rangers fans on the club Board? Anything other is deserving of ridicule. Of course, all candidates for positions as supporters on the club Board should have both Higher History and Higher Latin.

    der Berliner, I have expended all my ammunition. I am reduced to prosecuting this assault/fight through with the Regimental Piper and a fixed bayonet.
