    Nah, it's fine on this forum. This is Gersnet, where the grown ups come to talk about football. Personally, I have to admit I quite like their away top. Cracking design values, good color combination, solid base of shorts and socks carrying the lighter colours above with an assymetric white band adding an unexpected highlight. It has the feel of a southern European or club outfit. Sorry, am I making you feel ill?

    for the love of God..please

    Particularly when not one of the shower of ****s running the club has ever actually paid to get into Ibrox in their lives.

    Fact is that no top level player will come to utd while he is in charge - there's no question about it now that he is done for. The only question is who will replace him. There are only a handful of people in the world who could, and the only one in England is at Chelsea and tthe one they would really want is in Munich.

    he said previously that he regards Alex Ferguson as "the Boss" because he's the greatest manager ever; looks like the pupil is learning from the master

    ok, then the browser is unlikely to be the issue. But, belt an dbraces, try it in Firefox anyway. If that doesn't help, try turning off Avast and then accessing the forum. If you still have problems, look at your User Access Control (control panel > user accounts) and try changing the security settings there. But before that, make sure you've done what Frankie suggested and clear you cache, making sure that the passwords and cookies etc are cleared too.

    actually, I think you'd get the same answer 3,997 times out of 4,000; wee yappy dugs notwithstanding. If Wallace is taking 100% bonus at this time, when we are having to look for emergency loans, then his position is the same as the rest of them: untenable.

    are you using Zonealarm by any chance? If not, what Anti virus / secutity softwear are you using? also, which browser?

    I'll see your 'anger' and raise you a 'cold fury'. But I shall aim it at the deserving parties, not everybody's favourite political hate figure. Salmond, to be honest, doesn't give a toss about Rangers personally, but he did, I am sure, do everything he could politically, if for no other reason than trying to avoid headaches- which given the fact that HMRC is answerable to Westminster and not Holyrood - was not very much. Now, if our own Scottish tax authorities were answerable to our own people and politicians, then it may have been a different story. But that's maybe taking a diversion down a different route.

    Don't give up the day job, mate; the script writer's union can sleep soundly tonight. Curious to know however what you would have expected the First Minister of the country to do, apart from making publich and private appeals, nationally and internationally, pushing for HMRC to reach an agreement, so that Rangers could continue. Curious also to know how Salmond has acted differently in the Hearts case - apart from having a more helpful partner in the Lithuanians than he met in the UK govt.

    Can't agree with you on that one TinMan - I think it was a west of scotland labour party led assault, pure and simple; any English who may have been involved were either just following orders or didn't give a toss, regarding it as a matter for the squabbling Jocks.

    This has been a deeply shameful period for the charlatans and ****s that have run the club and embarrassing for those supporters who continue to support them despite all the evidence of willful mismanagement. However, speaking personally, I have never been more proud to be known as a Rangers supporter. As a body, and despite our internal divisions, our unified support for the club has been unrivalled in football history.
  13. The Real PapaBear
    Well, lucky old Hearts that they were dealing with foreigners and not with Her Majesty's Government.

    can't argue with Doc - unless we look at what Alex Salmond *actually* did and said, as opposed to what the race memory of Rangers fans says he did and said: This for example: Feb 16 2012: “In the last few weeks I contacted both Rangers and HMRC, whose record in court is not particularly good at the present moment and I said once this Tribunal which is adjudicating on what genuinely owed – once that Inland Revenue Tribunal sets a sum – can’t that not be agreed as the sum that has to be paid and a time scale agreed to allow the club to pay it without going out of business. “Now that seems to me an entirely reasonable proposition that would allow the Inland Revenue to get what they are due and allow Rangers to pay their obligations but continue as a vibrant part, not just of Scottish football, but of Scottish culture. I still think that is the best way forward. “Perhaps people should concentrate on coming to an agreement and moving forward and keeping Scottish football intact with a great future. “I want to see Rangers continue for the next century and more, contributing to the excitement and fun of Scottish football.” or this: “The First Minister has had one discussion with HMRC on the issue – a phone call on 11 January. As the First Minister has already made clear in an interview broadcast two weeks ago, the discussion centred on securing a settlement to enable Rangers to meet their obligations to the taxpayer and continue in business.” or Salmond being interviewed by David Frost: "We've certainly been arguing to HMRC on one hand, and indeed to Rangers, to for goodness sake get a settlement, get a settlement and a structure over time whereby Rangers can continue because Rangers must continue for the future of Scottish football and for the fabric of the country." and or old friend Alex Thomson putting the boot into Salmond for trying to help Rangers: http://blogs.channel4.com/alex-thomsons-view/political-interference-scottish-football/1134

    was it not gunslinger who said, approximately 120 days ago, that this 120 review period was nothing more than a con to keep the pressure off the board until it came time to renew the season tickets? And lo, he did speaketh true.
  16. The Real PapaBear
    This is not comparable since this 'someone' was speculating, which is not what we are faced with now. What we have now is a situation where the share price has remained steady for some time and the shares are being held by people who have no pressing need to sell. Thus any large scale purchase of those shares will push the price up in a malthusian curve. So you might as well ask the question "how much would it cost to buy the company is snails legs"
  17. The Real PapaBear
    it wouldn't remain at 50p a share. Every time you buy a share it pushes the price of the remaining shares up. Why is everybody having a hard time understanding this?
  18. The Real PapaBear
    and every share you buy pushes up the share price, so that if you want to end up with enough shares to control the club, you will have paid upward of who know what amount for each share 50p, 80p, 120p, 300p? It depends on what the sellers are willing to sell for, so once they knew a serious bid was underway they would raise the price accordingly; And all this money would not be going into the club, it would be going into the pockets of the ****** and ***** who own the shares now

    I'm not a twitter user and not clued in on their terminology but I think it goes something like #ashamed_to_be_a_bear we do have some scumbuckets in our support

    fans do not normally have to suffer a board as duplicitous, double dealing and dishonest as ours Fans can normally be assured that a season will last a season Oh, FFS! Are we back to the cinema analogy? Why not compare Rangers to Tesco while you're at it - just another commodity. Says who? The directors mis-managing the club? BH, I don't for a second doubt your loyalty and love for Rangers and I completely accept ad respect that you don't trust King - but I simply don't understand why you would put any trust whatsoever in the shower of ******* running the club just now. Is there a chance that you could articulate that position for me? There's no side or sarcasm to that question - I'm genuinely interested.
  21. The Real PapaBear
    when you are good, Mr Steel, you are very, very good indeed. A beguiling mix of Hugh Macilveney, Ed Mcbain and Owen Jones.
  22. The Real PapaBear
    jesus wept, - can you imagine any of the Gersnet writers ever coming out with anything as badly written as that?
  23. The Real PapaBear
    can't help noticing you've missed out the last couple of years. Any particular reason? The season ticket money wasn't used to fund an EBT scheme, by the way. Nor would have HMRC been able to do diddly squat if we had been well run in the first place. Just sayin'.
  24. The Real PapaBear
    your cinema analogy actually disproves your argument. If you want to see a movie, you pay your entrance fee, watch the film then go home happy. If you want to follow Rangers, you have to go 36 times to see how it turns out. If they cancel the season half way through, it's all been a waste of time and money. If I don't like how the directors are running the Roxy, I can go to the Regal. If they close the Regal, I'll watch the movie on DVD. I'm not particulalry fussed since it's the film I want to see. The product and the delivery vehicle are separate. If I don't like how Ibrox is being run I can't go to Fir Park to watch Rangers. The product and the delivery vehicle are one and the same. if the movie stinks, or the cinema is falling to bits, you can watch another movie or go to another venue. If Rangers is falling to bits, what do we do? Go to Paisley to watch St Mirren? if the directors of ABC cinemas are pocketing the income, then any money you pay to ABC cinemas is not going to ABC cinemas, it's going to the directors pension funds. Now, do you sit on your hands while the directors destroy the cinema or do you take whatever action is necessary to force them out in order to save the long term future of the cinema?

    we never did - and look where that got us.
