That's certainly what would have happened right back at the beginning if the yahoos had been given even a hint of a sniff of the way we've been treated. And yet we are the fans with "the reputation". Another odd thing in this never endingly peculiar tale.
-
Ally felt the board were manouevering against them so he jumped the gun and threw the financially difficult if not impossible light back on to them. He still thinks he's the man to manage Rangers and he also thinks (with perhaps more justification) he's the last one fighting the Wigs from the inside. Politically Ally has put them in a tough spot and rallied the remnants of his support amongst the fanbase back around him as their shining leader. For all his faults, he still has a Ranger aura about him. The others are just dividing up our body/carcass. It's hopeless. We're f@cked if he goes and f@cked if he stays. Cf. buying season tickets, boycotting merchandise. Doesn't matter which option we choose - we're f@cked. And that is how it will remain. This became inevitable the day D&P were appointed.
-
That seems the likeliest scenario to me, with one proviso - given that situation developing how can you say "until crowds come back"? Because I don't think they would. Especially as the timz would be past 10 in a row and heading for 20
-
I have a chequered history but more of that some other day (or never)... I am off out and have set the TV box to "record"....God alone knows why but I have. One wonders what will await me upon my return....
-
Depends - not if he is never replaced and it's a helluva thing to call good news the week before Xmas. Heart of stone some folk.....
-
So am I but I still don't say things like that
-
According to the Beeb, Sinclair is to be sacked next week. He may be dreadful and he may be a tim....but I suspect he is not going for those reasons but to save £££. No youth coach, no scouts, no manager.....?
-
Goram on SSN saying Ally is wonderful, been a great success - as the interviewer thinks too (they have no idea the standard we are playing against) and the fans have given him vile abuse
-
Yes, it's all very worrying. Can see Ally not being there in anything but legal terminology and Durrant being manager in effect until this time next year. Unless he refuses to do it too, so McDowell unless he refuses too...so D Wise or some other bugger Ashley controls. The board apparently are too busy (i.e. unconcerned by s as a club) to even issue a statement far less talk about it.
-
i am sure that some have been, I worry over how many. But then I worry over so many things Rangers related
-
That's almost as embarrassing as the SD T-shirt
-
Collymore tweeting "We don't do walking away". Clearly still hurt over Ally socking him one
-
It is understood he has tendered his resignation. According to one report, he will leave the club when his contract runs out at the end of the season. Another report has suggested that the board will attempt to broker a deal that will see McCoist leave earlier than that as Rangers battle to close the nine-point gap between them and Hearts at the top of SPFL division one. McCoist has been under intense pressure in recent months. Since Rangers' liquidation and readmission into senior football he has relied on a squad of seasoned players to win promotion from the fourth and third divisions relatively easily. However, this year, many fans feel that policy is not working, leaving the club with a group struggling to win enough points to gain either automatic or play-off promotion to the top tier of Scottish football - and with very few new young talents emerging in the ranks. For many Rangers diehards, one of the final straws was the recent Petrofac Cup 3-2 semi-final defeat by Alloa. McCoist, a true legend in his time as a player at Ibrox, has since had to endure regular chants of "Ally, Ally get to f***". Today's reports, if confirmed, suggest that he is finally ready to walk away from the club he loves. McCoist was a real Ibrox favourite as a player, scoring 355 goals in all and was part of the Rangers team which won nine league titles in a row in the 1980s and 1990s. Rangers refused to comment on the reports. A spokesperson for the club offered a brief "no comment" and it is believed McCoist will travel with the team as usual for the Friday evening league game at Queen of the South in Dumfries. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/u/reports-mccoist-quits-as-rangers-manager.1418391338

It might not be accepted!

Oddly enough the answer to both your questions is "yes".

@ £9.99 each

My trip up for the Cowden game and this illustrious evening was bookended by a flight back to Stansted filled with the Green and Grey on their way to Zagreb. Sometimes I think there's an evil scriptwriter in the sky with an Ashley semi-final T-shirt on writing my life story....still, the evening itself was an oasis of fun amidst the pain of it all!
-
I expect some will, we've all met Bears on our travels that would surprise/disgrace the majority. Hell, you don't have to look beyond bloggers and forum to see the type who'd fall for this
-
Ashley wants us to "celebrate" reaching the semi of a diddy cup we've won many times. New from Sports Direct = a commemorative semi-final T-shit. £8 and it yours, What a total effing embarrassment . Hopefully no-one buys it - of course, if they don't we'll have to pay him even more (and he'll have to loan us the money secured on something to do so) and be left with even more unsold tat in our basement. What next - a commemorative cup, a DVD of how we got there, half and half semi final scarves, a book on our Petrowhatever Cup run? PS Sorry for missing "h" in title. Perhaps a boy stole it?
-
Hard to say if you are being too cynical or not without betting odds and the chance for a "harmless punt, doesn't mean anything honest..."
-
It's surely an opportunity for our well paid and badly or never playing footballers to show a human side and fund an equivalent of the axed Xmas do for all the staff that remain? (Hell, go one step further and invite those recently thrown to the wolves too...) It's an interesting choice of something to axe when we pay the likes of Hutton and Peralta annual wages and never/hardly ever play them
-
I was merely putting the full bones on the skeletal choice listed. I was not saying what one should do, it surely is an individual choice. If it was me, nothing could have made me leave Ibrox. Were it my son, well, I don't know what I'd do as I don't have a son. I'd probably try to lay out the choice and stress what he'd be risking for his love of Rangers and then let him make up his own mind. He made the choice and has to live with it, I can't say I hope he is happy as he is at a bitter enemy who utterly detests us. He hasn't just left Rangers, he has joined anti-Rangers - but so be it, life goes on.
-
Almost, but not quite, right Try this instead: His choice was either first team football in the SPFL with a team that tried to kill and luxuriated in torturing the club he and his family purport (purported, that now is) to support, or play another season in the u20's with very little chance of ever getting any regular first team football for the team he and his family claimed, and still could claim if he had stayed, to support.
-
This bit is excellent: "But the United chairman has always got something to moan about - especially when it has anything to do with Rangers. There is no doubt in my mind he was pandering to United fans with his comments. And not for the first time either. Thompson certainly hasn't had anything quite as bad to say about the club on the other side of Glasgow over the years."
-
Lol lol. But as someone who has oft over imbibed and made an arse of myself, I have no intention of judging Hastie or wishing him absent.
