Bring back Kevin Kyle

Dave King described this sort of stuff as "noise" and we need to adopt an attitude like that too. Stick to the important stuff and let the shallow, petty and vindictive Scottish sports media people lower themselves and make hypocrites of themselves if they feel so inclined.

King out!

I'd love to help out and contribute a bit more and I'll have a think about how I can do this. My main issue is that I'm pulled pillar to post with work and don't know where I'll be from one week to the next so eg. committing to a weekly podcast/audio edition would be a waste of everybody's time.

In terms of content, I'd suggest a regular round up of the weeks news in one article would be a good idea and this could be quite a fun section. A kind of Have I Got News For You style look back at everything that's gone on. There'll be some good stories to come as the new board uncover the extent of the looting and there will be big changes on the coaching and playing side so I don't think there'd be a shortage of stuff to talk or write about.

Always happy to help where I can.

I'll be there but how much of the game I'll watch I'm not sure, can't sit through another Cowdenbeath level performance.

I think I'd rather have Martin McGuiness than Kenny McDowell for one more game.

Emotional stuff today. This really feels like a watershed moment in our history.

Weasel words when he has a player on the books who's had a long personal association with the IRA and who has attended fundraisers and funerals of terrorists. Does he think we're all stupid?

I think Ally McCoist did more than any boycott to empty the stands

That's it! He wasn't tactically inept, he was calculatingly driving fans away to hasten the boards departure.

He's a genius after all.:fish: :fish: :fish: :fish:

I'd get BDO or KPMG in to forensically examine all these contracts and deals, play the bastards at their own game.

DK's first day

My self imposed ban from Ibrox is over, I wanted major change and there it is.

Very satisfying.

King and the three bears bold move between Xmas and New Year has made this possible, they caught the ****s counting their piles of cash and outflanked them. I would also accredit Rangers First and the RST for playing a huge part but the main shift here was inspired by DK and the three bears. I salute their indefatigability.!

The leaks and "info from our man in the city" will stop very suddenly and Phil and Co will be left with empty speculation and naked hatred without the pseudo credibility of the odd correct prediction or story. They'll never go away though, their raison d'etre is to hate Rangers, Rangers fans and to denigrate us as much as possible.

Amazed he's made it to 66 years of age with a BMI of 11 squillion to be honest.

What the bejeesus is wrong with these people? Does "Celtic Gossip" not understand the two legged thing...?

Here's another point of view from the VB site ...

 

 

The Chattering Classes

A few years back I watched an episode of the BBC TV series "Who do you think you are?" The program takes a celebrity on a journey through his or her past tracing their family history, indicating the events that led to and supported their existence. In this particular episode, David Tennant, the Scottish actor who was playing Doctor Who at the time, was taken to his grandparent’s home in Northern Ireland. David’s grandfather was an Orangeman, and as part of the program he was presented by his grandfather’s sash by his second cousin. By the look on his face it was clear to see his displeasure, and later Tennant is quoted as saying:

 

“When Harry handed me my grandfather's orange sash, I felt that I had been handed a turd. To me, the Orange Order represents everything that is obnoxious in society. I have always associated Orangemen with right wing racism and sectarianism".

 

Also by his own admission Tennant is a hand wringing, Guardian reading liberal. Tennant is not alone, his likes can be found scattered across the chattering classes in Scotland. They are aloof to their history; they take for granted the sacrifices made by others but reap the benefits of their forebears who fought for civil and religious liberty. Their rights and freedoms have been handed to them on a plate now they pour scorn on those whose integrity; ethics, determination and steadfastness placed them in such a privileged position.

 

It has long been the want of a Presbyterian to question, but those born of the presbytery now don’t bother with questioning, they actually pontificate, they tell people they are wrong, well because…. they’re right. They are aloof to their arrogance.

 

Football is all about rivalries. It is a working class game and reflects the social and economic conditions of its surroundings. History, tradition, rivalry and comradeship are the things, which bind the sport together. It is the people’s game and was borne of the people. There are songs sung which are meant to ridicule, rile, embarrass and hurt the opposition; it is the nature of the crowd. Some people understand this, others don’t. It appears that there are some fuelled by social media and their own egos that seek to tell Rangers supporters what they can and cannot sing, what they deem acceptable. One even suggested that supporters could be in trouble for what they think! Now I firmly believe these people are entitled to their opinion, in fact their right to their opinion is enshrined in the very rights and liberties that others provided them, those others they now treat like the turd Tennant thought he had been handed.

 

A recent blogger has suggested that there is no place in today’s society for singing No Pope of Rome, his reasoning, Catholics have played for Rangers and they may be upset. Really? All the misery, abuse and crimes committed by the Roman Catholic Church on its own members, and people are going to be upset by a song, a song sung at a football match, a song sung, as the majority of songs sung at football matches are, to upset, ridicule and goad the opposition.

 

With all the turmoil surrounding Rangers in recent years, we have bloggers who choose to target the very people who are the lifeblood of the club and appease those who would happily see it dead. I truly despair. The handbags and the glad rags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you.

Just checking.... did the 'ludge win World War II?

I resent the implication that the Orange Order is in OUR history whether that be as Rangers fans, Scotsmen or human beings, my forefathers did not make the ultimate sacrifice so that a bunch of repressed angry young (and old I hear) men could sing songs about The Pope and KIng William of Orange at the football. What a bunch of swivel eyed garbage. Has their spectacular failure in backing a succession of shysters and con men left them no other option but to go on the offensive with fellow fans and besmirch the reputation of the club they claim to love?

The SPFL won't do anything to Rangers or anyone else for that matter as the yahoos have the bigger problem(with their militant Irish Republicanism) and they won't get punished as long as Liewell wields power in Scottish football.

That's certainly our perception but the yahoos have waged a war on perception of their behaviour which they seem to be winning. They stick to the "it's political" mantra like glue and that perception has been almost universally accepted by the media. They seem to ignore the fact that there are countless instances of Celtic fans being arrested and charged with sectarian offences, assaults and recently an attempted murder.

Cracks appearing in the Easdale bloc suggests Forlanssister...

I'm surprised it's taken this long, it's a plain as the nose on your face that the biggest impediment to a more realistic share price is the current board. I have a feeling that the EGM won't happen at all.

The NOMAD and the board can rescue a tiny bit of respect and credibility by cancelling the EGM, relinquishing control and welcoming The 3 Bears and Dave King to the club before scurrying off to pursue their next target.

Will they? No chance, they'll be ring fencing the onerous contracts and plotting litigation and spurious claims over assets and revenue streams.

Centre halves and goalkeeper aside Celtic were impressive. How much was down to the crowd and atmosphere driving average players to bust a gut to make the tackle or make the run can't be quantified but lessons could be learned from our pedestrian superstars and the importance of the fans shouldn't be underestimated.

That 93rd minute goal cost me £250....

The hive mind of VB would say black if the RST, Chris or SoS said white. It's that simple.
