If this is a feasible proposition i would much rather have a Vodka marquee!!!

"And it's Smirnoff to the match I go......"

This guy has made millions out of Rangers by being a dire footballer. It sickens me that he has been able to hang around our club for eight years and has contributed nothing.

He scored a goal in Lyon - wow !!

Derby even had one when we went there pre-season

How can I put this politely ?!..........Fuck off Lee !!!!!!!!!!

Can't be arsed to go to the game tomorrow now. Might change my mind in the morning but right now I feel like giving it a miss.

So pissed off at this.

We do have some muslim supporters

Maybe so. But I'd like to think they wouldn't be on the 'offended' bus with regard to this whole saga. I'd like to think they'd have a bit of perspective on it.

It's basic sales...if you want to sell a product, you don't do anything that can loose you potential customers.

What potential customers ??? were we on the verge of gaining millions of muslim fans out of the blue or something ??

You could well be right, but there may be other factors such as family that we're not aware of.

True mate - we don't know either way, but I am very disappointed by this.

Perhaps Chris himself decided to go with the rest of the board willing to support him staying?

 

Either way, it's a real shame that he's had to resign so quickly.

I think if that was the case mate and the Board were saying "no, no we want you to stay and we can see that this has been hugely blown out of proportion" , he'd still be there.

What a shitty little country Scotland has become.

A more bitter, twisted, chip on shoulder nation you will struggle to find elsewhere.

Horrible wee backwater.

Sets a terrible precedent.

Fuming at this !!!! I dare say there will be mass celebration within the ranks of some (lunatic) sections of our support, having got what they wanted out of this !!!

One position the Board should fill which we clearly need - a backbone. It appears to be sdadly missing in action.

This is tragic news !!

HOPE your all happy

Chris Graham has resigned as a director of Rangers

For fuck sake

equally, look at areas of Glasgow, edinburgh and Dundee where there are huge social problems related to the white 'christian' community. To deny that would be absurd.

The problems people face in those areas are problems of poverty and social mobility, not of religion.

 

If you are going to make sweeping statements such as "Musilm leaders not happy ?? what are they ever happy about when it comes to our country and our way of doing things ??!!" you really should have some evidence to back them up. Except you can't have, because there is none.

It would seem that your antipathy towards 'Muslims' is based on biased, loaded reporting by the MSM and not personal experience since we don't have problems with large amounts of Muslim immigrants in Scotland, nor is there a problem of integration here.

 

The increase in 'Muslim related news' over the past decade and a half is partly agenda-driven by the MSM (or do you think they only do it to Rangers?) and partly because we have been engaged in an illegal war in (Muslim) Iraq and an occupation in (Muslim) Afghanistan and have stood idly by whilst Israel has carried out two genocidal attacks on civilians (Muslim & Christian) Gaza and commits war crimes and illegal land theft every day in the (Muslim & Christian) West Bank.

No comment - as I would be banned from here.

Probably best to agree to disagree on this one.

You haven't answered the question.

 

You said "Musilm leaders not happy ?? what are they ever happy about when it comes to our country and our way of doing things ??!!"

 

If Muslim leaders are never happy with "our country and our way of doing things", I'd be interested to see examples of this. What are these ways of doing things that they are perpetually unhappy about? (We'll ignore the fact that this is also their country for the moment.)

 

For the record, and speaking as someone who would consider themselves instinctively pro-Muslim in any debate on the subject, I agree with your other points - particularly the last one.

Mate - I think the 'examples' are all around us and are reported in news outlets every day of our lives. Over the past 10-15 years the amount of 'muslim' related news items have increased dramatically and has started to dominate. Why is this ? - Because there are so many problems with the amount of immigrattion we have and so many problems we have with 'integration'. Look at Leicester, Bradford, Luton, Birmingham, parts of Manchester, London, etc. etc. ect. Huge social problems related to the mulsim community. To deny that would be absurd.

I've got as long as you need. Carry on.

So you are trying to say that musilims in the 'west' / UK are totally content with how we do things and what our cultures involve ? And that mulslims generally integrate well into UK society ?

For the record, I'd say the vast majority of people in the UK would have absolutely no problem and not be offended in the slightest with what CG re-tweeted to that c.unt Choudry.

What we have here is timothy, a rhat infested Scottish mhedia and some bitter, bitter Rangers fans on a witchhunt against Chis Graham.

For example?

Have you got a spare 12 hours ??!

You know that for sure do you?

Not this again - no I don't know for sure.

But my faith in our new Board indicates to me that they will see this for what it is - a storm in a tea cup that has been dragged up in a witchhunt by ****s, mhedia and some of 'our own' who threatened that they would get CG off the board by hook or by crook if he were ever appointed.

Musilm leaders not happy ?? what are they ever happy about when it comes to our country and our way of doing things ??!!

Glasgow Muslim Leaders don't sound very happy about it

There's a shock !!!

For the sake of perspective CG must stay - and will !

You must think Ally is a great manager then as when he had the same shite players, they were the most consistent winners in our league despite all the off-field problems.

 

We've gone from 81.5% win rate under McCoist to 30% under McDowall, don't you think that with the boardroom change, the new optimism, the crowds improving, and a new manager, we should at least be able to have an upturn from 30% back up to over 80% win rate?

 

The players have it in them to be better as they've already been better this season - even with supposedly the worst manager in Scotland and supposedly playing the shitest football.

 

Surely, without the boycott and fan acrimony, without the continual boardroom crises, without the depression over Ibrox with the job cuts and everything else that's happened, without all the uncertainty about getting paid, or that there will be a Rangers at all, there is potential for vast improvement from the players from where they were in the first half of the season, never mind now?

 

McCall will have something that McCoist and McDowall never had - a boardroom of guys who have the interests of the club at heart, a board who are not just there to fill their pockets with as much loot as they can.

 

The players are obviously despondent, apathetic and totally lacking any motivation - and some of the problems that caused that are still there such as contracts ending, Newcastle loanees taking places in the team, low confidence etc.

 

Motivation is where a new manager can often shake things up - the feel good factor, players looking to impress for a place in the team and new contracts, a new sense of purpose and drive, and even just the enthusiasm of a new guy and sense of change for the better.

 

If McCoist and McDowall were really the poor managers that the memes suggest then we should be expecting better results than both of them (and better football) from the players we have - which pretty much points to at least a 90% win rate. With that kind of form, you would have to think it probable that we'd get promoted.

You make some good points.

I certainly do not rate Ally a s a good manager.

For me, since day one against Hearts we have been dire. There have been far too many players going through the motions - but there are also far too many players who are simply not very good footballers.

Personally I can't see us going up. I believe will will finish third, and can't see us coming through 3 sets of play offs. Negative, yes, but I fell that is a realistic prediction.

McCall is playing mind games here to get promotion.

He's trying to make these players think they're as good as they were when they joined Rangers but we all know they've since regressed.

Dangling the carrot of new contracts is likewise.We all know only one or two from the dozen or so who are out of contract at the end of the season might get an offer but he's probably hoping this might improve the performances of the others. Whether it works or not is another matter

Yes - it's definitely all mind games - and I guess that's one of the main options open to him to see if he can get anythging out of the lazy buggers.

The probelm is that majority know they will have no future at Rangers so - in their minds, - why will they care if we go up or not. That 'couldn't give a f.uck attitude' has been evident for months.

When McCall says that they are underperforming this season and that many of them are actually really good players - who is he referring to ?

We have no 'really good' players.

I don't think they are 'undeperforming' as such - they are just shite players. I'm not expecting much of an upturn as I don't believe these players have it in them to be much better.

And when he talks about some of the out of contarct players playing for a new contract - that frightens the life out of me. I suppose he has to say that. I sincerely hope he doesn't actually mean it. NONE are worthy of a new contract, unless it's for cleaning the bogs !!!

Now that would be a start , really impressive is young Mr McCann

It would be. Nothing confirmed, but seeing a few bits and pieces about McCann being added. Time will tell though.

Some 'speculation' that Neil McCann may also be joining the set up.

Neil McCann introduced into the set up ? Speculation.
