Another good pod. Great debut from Alex.

 Fat Eck always went to Scotland matches and was in the Supporters Club last time I spoke to him (which was a few years ago now) so some who go to both do exist.

 

He still does; I was sat next to him at the Cyprus game. ?

I tend to go to most Scotland home games but do so on an ad-hoc basis.

I probably go enough that I might benefit from joining the supporters club but I never know if I'm going until the last minute, unlike with Rangers where I happily commit to the full season at the outset.

Couldn't get a ticket and disappointing result but had a great time with the bears in Kaktus for the game. Locals were sound as well.

So when Scotland fans get together the subject of which team they support never comes up? just wondering!

Apart from being in the same stadium as them, I don't really get together with Scotland fans.

I go to the games with mates. We already know which clubs the others support.

I can tell you that at the Albania game there was absolute roaster of a Hibs fan behind me who refused to cheer when Naismith scored, proclaiming "Ah'n no' cheerin' nae Hertz kant!"
Other than that, I generally don't know, far less care, who anybody in ground supports.

I never seen the match.

 

Out of interest, are there any guys on here who follow Scotland? I mean actually go to the games?. What kind of reception do you get when you tell the Scotland fans you are a Rangers fan? just wondering!.

I still go to some home games. Never made it last night but was at the Albania home game.
As for "telling the Scotland fans" I'm a Rangers fan?

Firstly, I am a Scotland fan.

Secondly, why would I walk around telling everybody which club team I support?

Despite the apparent injunction, https://www.thegersstoreonline.com/ is still accepting orders for jerseys.

I have no idea whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, nor if it will continue for much longer.

I'm a life member but now don't have a vote. 

When were voting rights removed from life members?

He did play against Hearts

Yup - came on towards the end of the game.

I thought he'd be a stick-on to score. Alas...

Unfortunately they are giving up the voice of all that block with trying to get one meaningless seat on the board. Dave King must be killing himself laughing if it is not him that is orchestrating it. Yes they are doing good things in sticking up for Rangers but that is what a supporters group should be doing and not pandering to other board members

I don't see a seat on the board as meaningless and neither do the vast majority of the members. If they did, they wouldn't have voted so overwhelmingly in favour of it.

And I'm not sure why you think Dave King would want Club1872 board representation. I suspect the opposite.

Likewise with your notion that Club1872 are "pandering". I don't see it that way at all.

More generally, if supporters are unhappy with anything Club1872 does, the best way to change it is to join up and vote. 

Sniping from the sidelines doesn't help anyone.

I am not a member and don't aspire to become a member. I don't really see the point in paying per month to buy shares that gives me no totally no voice. It would be a follow the sheep voice. If I buy my own shares at least I can turn up at a shareholders meeting to put my point across. Just my opinion.

All fair enough but I, along with several thousand other Rangers fans, have a different opinion. Given events of the last couple of days around the Fanzone, if people still don't see the point of a large supporters block, they never will.

 Club 1872 should not want a place on the board it is a supporters club. 

If you're a member, your opinion on this is in the minority.

A huge majority of members (including me) voted in favour of pursuing a seat on the board.

Metaphorical swords should be fallen on over this but I wouldn't hold my breath when it comes to expecting anything resembling honour from these craven liars.

Excellent work by Club 1872 in exposing this shower and an example of what we can achieve when we pool resources.

I'd also urge anyone who isn't a member to consider joining as the more of us contributing, the more work like this Club 1872 can do.

Look forward to these every week. Great listen again.

That was a great listen. Well done folks.

I haven't given up hope in winning the league just yet. I think teams have sussed Celtic.

I think that ship has sailed.

Apart from anything else, we've yet to go on a decent winning run, never managing more than two on the trot before Murty managed four.

Unfortunately, that was followed by two defeats.

We need to be winning eight or nine games on the bounce several times a season before we can even think about challenging.

A solid second place and at least one victory over the yahoos would be a successful end to the season from here.

Having said all that, stranger things have happened. 

Just heard this. Hope the wee man makes a full and speedy recovery.

1st login on the new forum.

Looks good.

-EDIT-

Apart from my green avatar. I shall attempt to address that now. =)

This is really disappointing and shambolic.

I won't cancel my membership yet as I still agree with the venture itself but much more of this nonsense and I'll have to consider it.

At the moment it looks like a great opportunity being pished up the wa'.

Great article.

Excellent post John.

Found myself nodding along with much of it.

I don't normally start threads on here but am compelled to share the overwhelming sense of joy, mixed with relief, that I felt leaving the ground today.

Not only the best performance of the season but the best since April and the happiest I've been leaving Ibrox since 2015.

Everybody played well but O'Halloran stood out and thoroughly desrved his man of the match.

Thank you Rangers for reminding me of how we can play.

Please, let's do it more often.

A real shame to see our retail partner ripping off our fans to the tune of £60 a strip.

I've only just seen this but there's a 'this item is currently not available' message at that link, which I'm guessing wasn't there earlier.

I really have to doff my cap to Jas (TheWeissMan on here/TheLawMan on RM) for his hard work on this.

Indeed, really well written and summarises the whole thing nicely.

South stand I think.

they are to tell sponsors he doesn't have a boot sponsor

Ach, well, if he continues playing as well as he did today I can't see that situation persisting. I'll just enjoy it while it lasts.
