  1. Outrageous, I'll agree. But for me it's the quality I find outrageous. I'd have nothing against the price if the quality was great. You know - part of the Ibrox experience. I stopped buying food at Ibrox donkeys' years ago when I looked at the "burger" bit and it was dried, shrivelled and the size of a 50p piece.
  2. Agree absolutely. Coops had so much genius going for him but he was flawed in ways. Brian Laudrup was pure flawless genius.
  3. Much as I'd love to come along to this one, I can't see me making this one.
  4. Same here Rangersitis! Well done. 3 points each for the one. I also got 1 point for Germany's win.
  5. I'm ambivalent about Boyd. He scores goals - of that there is no question and age isn't a big factor given his lack of mobility. He could be a lazy bugger during his first time round but maybe his time away has changed his game. If he helps us win the Championship I'll be happy.
  6. One would assume the investments are down the tubes, so the they need the a Gift of the Gab to talk up another share deal.
  7. 12 more to go then? Looking forward to this målfest then, Zappa.:devil:
  8. Compo's right in my opinion. Green's never been away. Pulling strings all the time. He's therefore felt it necessary to come out in the open.
  9. Last night Holland were awesome. I just love watching that team when they're on fire. Maybe their time has come. However, they've been known to blow it big time before. Good luck today all.
  10. I would think that's an option worth considering. Would certainly get Laxey and the Easdales very, very twitchy.
  11. Steward's Enquiry perfectly right to be called for. I'm sure that Zappa will instigate one immediately. After all, he hit full points last night too. BACKGROUND TO ENQUIRY: Gersnet Mini League: Five on full points (3 points) as follows: Bluebear54; Ser Barristan Selmy; Steve1872; Time4Change; Zappa. Full League: Looks like 24,578 playing in all. I'm sitting in position 631, with 5111 having gained full points last night, so some competition Brazilian Supporters League: Must have just put me in automatically - not something I did intentionally - I'm sitting in 24th position. All too early to call - the Spain match will sort more than a few tonight - as will the Cameroon match. AAMOI has anyone had a look at the more esoteric side of the rules? Think I'll have a wee look sometime today. Good fun and games. and adds some zest to keeping up with the more turgid games.
  12. Bitterness against those who lead. Used to it. Been a Bear all my life!
  13. Wasn't around here at the time. However, were the usual suspects equally as keen on SDW as they are on KM? Just pointing out that I remember a large part of our fan base calling it well wrong as regards SDW. As a matter of interest, I'd like to know if it's an ageist thing. My opinion says that KM would be a better shout as a captain than Big Jig. I really believe Kenny Miller will make a lot of people eat their words. How about a tenner if he scores more than one within his first three starts?
  14. I'm presently finding myself in the position of sorting through all my papers and memories. Good and bad - but mainly good. Which is not a bad thing actually. I should have got around to this donkeys' years ago! Not wishing to spread any bad vibes around, please accept this filed under "pleasant reminiscings." At least that's my intended meaning. The story concerns a nine year old getting up at the break of dawn and waiting alongside a good few many other local Bears outside the Roxburgh Hotel in Dunbar for the surfacing of the Rangers first team squad who were on their way to Berwick-Upon-Tweed for the small matter of a first round Scottish Cup tie, and the monumental matter of a date with destiny and a humbling 1-0 defeat which seemed to completely stun the Scottish football scene. I seem to remember joviality amongst the squad, with big John Greig telling me "11-0 - nae problem son. Nae problem." in response to my asking for a prediction. I also seem to remember a pretty strong smell of drink all round. This was around 8am. As to that, my memory may indeed have failed me as it has in other ways. Since the date was January 1967, I wasn't actually a nine year old. I must have just have turned 14. And I got a fringed cowboy suede jacket for my 14th - soon to be paired with a pair of lilac flares with leather laces up the sides. Talk about Midnight fucking Cowboy! Yes indeedy - I was flirting. And my flirt was with psychedelia and flower power :cool6: - manifesting themselves in a huge way. "Are you Experienced," "Between the Buttons," a long long love affair with the Who after "A Quick One" while still holding on to the Beatles with the superb "Revolver." Perhaps the promise of the soon to be released "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" and "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band," and my headlong rush into the required hedonistic hippy lifestyle :hippy::coolio::hippy:managed to alleviate the pain of Berwick. I still managed to keep up going to Rangers after this, including Barca :champs::champs:and some pretty memorable European games - :rfcbouncy: -which obviously aren't so memorable, as I've forgotten them. I do remember my Dad (but not my Grandad) asking "What's happened to you son? You look like a clown. Ye cannae support the Rangers looking like that." Well, the response is that I'm still here. :rfcbouncy: I remember Bears in the seventies looking like the Bay City Rollers, and I never got any gyp about looking like a darned hippy. Tell you what Bears and Bearettes - the free love bit of it was pretty cool indeedy , and prepared me well for a long career as a professional musician. This particular one settles an age old argument I had on FF (and surrendered) about Willie Henderson being know as Billy. Knew I was right. At school our right winger was always nicknamed Billy Henderson, and, before Billy Johnson, the left winger was Davie Wilson. I was always John Greig.
  15. I'm not convinced everything that Ashley and Sports Direct have done in relation to Rangers has been entirely legal.
  16. Wonder what Blackthorn would think. Obviously the Club couldn't give a toss about things like standards.
  17. Not in my book pmu. Not in my book. My comments stand with pride. I'm as miffed as the next about the duality of Telfer and Hutton. I do however think Miller will be good for the squad and good for a few goals throughout the season. That's what I call opinion without too much egg. Anyone has the right to disagree. I don't really appreciate SAF, Football Manager, clowns or snide negative comments being nonsensically dragged into the discussion.
  18. Nothing like over egging the pudding SBS? I for one don't need to be reminded of silly little facts like that. Nor indeed what your idol SAF would do in the situation. Given that he's never been involved in the running of Rangers, it's a bizarre and totally daft parallel. Please try to keep it real - perhaps with a modicum of original thought. Given your comment that "we are being run by clowns", it may come as a shock to you that there are some posters on GN who some also regard as clowns, with their clownish comments understood as coming from the mouths of a clown.
  19. Great initiative Greg. I think I can say a big thanks on behalf of all I know. From little acorns and all that. A good start.
  20. If it wasn't so categorically sad, it would be a simple matter of ridicule. The laddie is obviously totally incompetent and out of his depth writing blogs.
