There's lots of annoying things like that in her but we are all on good behaviour because Frankie (quite rightly) read the riot act, albeit in his usual polite manner...,

Mike Ashley set to bid for Rangers (and NUFC ban Daily Telegraph for story)
SteveC replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
He has never given the slightest indication of wanting to do "anything further" with Rangers. Why should he? He as all he needs from us financially without doing anything more - I'm baffled as to where the idea comes from he even cares about today's share sale deadline. Other than, of course, selling up at Newcastle for 230 million. clearing our immediate debts and using us as is next free-to-print-cash and advertising cow - alarmingly might even put us in a better place than we currently are, we'd still be in the gutter, of course, and run by someone who detests the very location of our fan base far less its constituents, (as he does Geordies) and we would not be The Rangers as I grew up with but.................hey ho "beggars/chooser" and all that. mMaybe I have to eventually realise The Rangers I grew up with are not going to come back for a very much longer time that we thought even when we began this "journey" (which turned about to be just another lie) . Sigh. I am 56 - will I see a Rangers I can be proud of supporting ever again ? -
I seem to remember a wise man once singing: "...the people that confronted him were many. And he was told but these few words which opened up his heart ‘If you cannot bring good news, then don’t bring any’." It's shaping up to be the reverse of that kind of day, already Ta, anyway, Your Frankieness

Not everyone does think it "okay", RangerRab. I think many feel, going by their posts, that "he may be a crook but at least he's "our" crook" , that is, a Rangers fan. I do not know how many of the board this would cover and I am not for a minute suggesting they are unaware of the contradictions in their stance. I guess the problem comes down to - who else is there? (All that is presuming he is still a hope, which , as you suggest, is far from certain - the caller to Radio Clyde the other night, ("BB") clearly thought not.) The judge in his main SA case was extraordinarily scathing as to his character, that's for sure. -

Speaking of things one could very well live without. You. You ruin this forum, deliberately and repeatedly -

Could that be even most rhetorical question even you have conjured up? Couldn't be more obvious. -

Why wouldn't he be? He adores people who come into the club and rip it to shreds, and loot and pillage for their own ends. It's what he gets off on, Whyte, Green, all their puppets, Ritvi and next Ashley, the "new golden bhoy" we've all to "give a fair time to, a clean slate...".....the more criminal they are, the better, it would seem, however. Eventually, say sp.iv replacement 395 he might get it right and say "I told you so". Or even he may have given up on this interminable wind-up by then...... -

The Record back page today is dominated by the word "sack" and a photo of a Morton man with "a man wanted by Interpol" - then the beginnings of a report on the UoF plea for dismissal of the former. -
That's an approach I generally agree with but it depends on what bits of the jigsaw are missing. in this case my jigsaw becomes ever more unclear and the day I will find a happy solution keeps receding out of reach when I do finally find a missing piece.

Here's an interesting call. Sorry that it sounds really bad news and sorry re the source of the recording but the caller seems to know his stuff. His view of the Wigs still being in control post admin is realistic if horrible to contemplate, there is an astonishing mention of The Mint and an unsurprising, but deflating inclusion of King in his list of the false hope merchants who have been piddling down our leg and telling us it is raining". http://podbay.fm/show/307483087/e/14...00?autostart=1 Starts about 15 minutes in There's a thread on FF about it...for those who forum hop....

Thanks Frankie, on my phone and it was hard to follow.... Can't find the "thank" and "agree" buttons either. Oh well, to work. Usual breakfast = coffee, bacon butty and RFC horror story. -

Ahmed makes third bid to have assets frozen
SteveC replied to Little General's topic in Rangers Chat
Sorry, I'm getting confused here. What's the good news? I can't see what has changed, the money is still frozen....we have the right to appeal which may or may not work out well but until then Ahmed has half outr cash frozen. Is the good news that we didn't lose the right to appeal? If it is, party balloons will be put away...................... Not that under 700K matters much in any case....just one more wage bill to maybe be able to fund, and then comes the next one anyway with virtually no income before it lands. We need some really good news, hell even a glimmer of a tad of a smidgen of a possibility.... -
There you go with that misplaced optimism again Have you forgotten already that it is two steps forward and three back? Crowds are going down, not up "Dozens of singing sections" ffs - I've been going to Ibrox for over 50 years. Bayern Munich semi in 72 aside I can't recall ever hearing "dozens of singing" sections.* * No, games against them don't count! PS I'll stop nagging you now but the glass is nearly empty, Zappa - close to being tossed out by a laughing and scornful barman - not half full!

Lets be honest here - we were dysfunctional before they came along. OK, they've nurtured the divisions but the fault-lines were clearly in existence before they came along. In many ways, individualism is our byword, communality is seen as sheep like behaviour. No, not the Dons, I mean the "to the car park, Declan" mentality that we forever scorn. Truth be told, we could have done with that "to the car park" mentality. The very nice videos (well done to BOTH, I support you both I just wish you were one) throw into high relief that we have failed in our duty to protect the thing we love. I write this as an ardent individualist, so I recognize my own guilt, I live far away is my other excuse when I should have got on a train, taken a month off work and camped outside the gracious if dilapidated old lady. I have/do/am (no longer true in all cases but true in all over the last few years) contributed to and encouraged others to give to the RST, BuyRangers, RangersFirst, RFF and have bought shares. I've never once done so thinking it would really help - apart from the RFF, which hasn't in any case.

But we are right back into inter-fan fall-out territory. Oh, to have a unified fan base.

Weekends simply aren't the norm anymore for football. I live a few hundred miles away so weekday games are simply impossible. I worry that the break with the routine of going to games will make it harder for people to go back. If truth be told, I want to keep visiting Ibrox solely because I fear I am running out of time to do so/want to show my support for the concept of what we once were. I no longer enjoy it much nor think it worth the time and cost to get there and back...until I walk up the steps and see and hear "the blue, blue sea..." A wonderful feeling.Two hours later i am usually wondering what the hell I have done with my time off work!
-
Ah football, Good Lord, I'd almost forgotten that's what we are here for, that's what we do.* * Well, in the spirit of generosity, lets let that go.....

I didn't concede - I just re-iterated my disagreement in a more contextually correct way. I can't see where we differ, Craig - except I am much more polite the the (wholly deserving of it) Zappa

"fans" - did you type "posters" and then change your mind? :devil::devil:

No, no, no = it is "2 steps forward, 3 steps back" you silly boy! No wonder you are confused. :) Gallow's humour

I did read it too quickly, Zappa, apologies for doing so. It is something I tend to do at times of crisis (and we are deep in yet another one) during work breaks. So yes, I did take it out of context - a bit, but only to an extent. I think we have divergent feelings on the extent of how much "windier and rockier" twists your first imagined road has taken. The road is far over twice as long as it was in my view and far, far rockier. Indeed, I now fear a precipice....Psychically, I'm entering what is known in these parts as "Hildy country"; while you still seem to be capable of viewing a path from liquidation back to the summit.
