I agree with you. Look at those midfielders! At least three of them are worth the entire current team on their own.

Oh go on, at the very least one exception springs to mind (actually about 14 spring to mind - but one is a stand-out ;-) )

Either that or they were worried that all the SPL "star names" (stop sniggering at the back) would sign for us, making them look even stupider than they do now if that were possible.

Agreed and well put. Lets be pals. PS But I never heard us ever referred to in this way "Someone may state that Marlborough's Rangers....."

Very true - and months later neither had changed their view. One was correct, one read it wrongly (100% wrongly) for a period equaling that of mad Craig Whyte devotee 'Madrid 51' (a.k.a."my sources* tell me" on "Follow Follow"). One is an appalling journalist who lives by the current British media rules of writing whatever crap they think will sell for whatever reason, the other is someone who desperately, but vainly, aspires to still be one who lives by the current British media rules of writing whatever crap they think will sell for whatever reason. Guess which one regularly gets the thumbs up and the one that gets the thumbs down, though? *sources = "voices in my pillow"

Really, so you used to talk about Marlborough's Rangers, then? I grew up with Struth's Rangers, Symon's Rangers....we differentiated the past with reference to managers not owners and not as we are now being asked to do, without taking "mock offence" in this thread - a spokesperson for owners. Can't you see the difference? Struth's Rangers Symon's Rangers even (much as I hate to write it) Murray's Rangers and Green's Rangers? (I don't accept the Murray one, btw, I am just including it in a spirit of goodwill toward your point of view). We differentiate our eras via manager, not owner. We always have. PS I am constantly amazed at some fans reactions and opinions but today just about takes the proverbial cake: I read of fans upset when we are called Glasgow Rangers* and then I get immediately dismissed in scornful terms for disputing the phrase "Green's Rangers" from a statement that is so divored from reality that it beggars belief. * Yes, I know why - but, comparatively, really?

"Like I say" seems to mean something to you stronger than the lexical import contained therein. So, I answer thusly: a) "like I say" It is not mock offence but symptomatic of something deeper, something that is already apparent in the utter mis-guidedness of threatening to ban innocent people "without appeal" for not grassing on best pals/not endangering their own safety. b) "like I say" - We never talked of "Marlborough's Rangers" We can agree to disagree but "like I say" proves only you are agreeing with yourself, be you correct or incorrect in your assertion(s).

Nothing mock about it, offended by the mindset that could come up with it even if it was from someone who actually owned the club. Were I a Chelsea fan I'd cringe at Abramovich saying "Abramovich's Chelsea" though that would at least be true. How does "Murray's Rangers" or "Whyte's Rangers" grab you? In both cases it turns my stomach, but both were far truer than "Green's Rangers". Or have I missed something and he actually is the owner? It's just grandstanding, boastful "look at me" - sorry but I don't like this in any walk of life. When it is related to my/our club - it really grates. He really is a bit of a Billy Liar/Too big for my boots character at times.

â??We want to be in a position where we can go to UEFA with our heads held high." True "This is something we can stamp out. " Mmmmmm....having been there when Willie Waddell tried to, I have my doubts. Overly optimistic "It has no place in society " Not in a normal society where fair play and non-apartheid-in-reverse takes place, no. But you're in Scotland now, my cheery Hovis Bread advert grown up man "and definitely not in Charles Greenâ??s Rangers.â? Who are they? Some new team? I'm shocked. I thought I was still going to see The Rangers. The team I first saw in Baxters' last few games before heading off (sadly)....and saw again when he came back...and with Colin Stein the same and all the way for coming up to 50 years now. "Green's Rangers", eh? You could not make it up.............even Whyte would have struggled to be that brass-necked

The same law is applicable to everyone whose primary domicile is in Scotland. This was stated very clearly at the time of its absurd passing onto the Law books. Yes, this means that a Scotsman who resides in Berwick and and Englishman who resides in, say, Largs singing the same "offensive" songs at the same game in Berwick are respectively innocent (or rather "unaffected by") and guilty of breaking this Kafka-esque Scots Law.

this was a tad rich: “We’re about to go through possibly the biggest change in the game for a long time." As if illegally putting Rangers, the country's biggest and most successful club, down to the bottom division was not the biggest change of all effing time you cheating barsteward.

That's true but on the other hand this suggestion is preposterous. Lets say you are standing near a dozen pissed up heavies belting out the Billy Boys. If you intervene you may well get a leathering; imagine if you have a kid with you - even worse to get involved. If you do not intervene you get banned.

Translation - I write on a free blog that is thoroughly discredited even amongst most of the converted who constitute the entire audience to whom I "preach". "I believe =" Hope someone is listening. please please believe I am relevant. "stir" = "I want to pretend I am important" "editorial floors" = aye, really, a blog that sucked up Craig Whyte's arse months after even the dimmest had finally seen through him. Craig "the master poker player...." "appear tomorrow"- maybe..... but maybe not. There has been two or three years of this. Phil3names was to be collared tomorrow (remember all his talk of the polis "closing in"? Craig Whyte was to win "tomorrow"; Duff and Phelps and Liewwell and Daly and Toxic Thommo....etc etc to fall "tomorrow". The Calendar flicked over, the promises never delivered from the "contacts" in the "old inky trade" as "some may wish to call it, who can say, I cannot possibly comment". Dribble, drool....NURSE! There may be a list tomorrow - any of us could put the names on it just now. We could have done so when this retard with a slim grasp of the language he claims, risibly, to be an expert in*, was still Craig's fanboy, come to that. *it is good to know the difference between "bated" and "baited" (most of us, non-journos at that, knew it before reaching double digits in age, though). It is utterly embarrassing to boast about it in blogs riddled with far more basic errors, however.

Lemmon and Septic (surely not connected with this story in any way cough, cough) are moaning about "undisclosed payments" that were neither payment nor undisclosed. Only in Scotland

In Scotland these days this, sadly, is a rhetorical question

Thanks but, oh dear

basically "we cheated...we got off with it..."we got what we wanted from (our) legal system...he doesn't care (but can't shut up about it) 'cos they are playing Juve in a 'big game' and are doing so because they have always behaved impeccably." He is a walking advert for the abortion his supposed Church opposes and he tried to force upon one of his "f@ck buddies" (his words) when cheating on the wife and kids he claims are important to him.

Does anyone have a link to Part 2 on Rangers TV? I've only ever seen part one and can never locate further episodes

He handled it superbly, cap well and truly doffed. I particularly liked his facial expression when Toxic Thommo said "Chris and I agree on so many things...."/ How he did not lamp the three sick bastards he was set-up by/with, I will never know.

Compensation for: illegal Demotion? illegal Embargo? illegally Stolen Prize Money? Slander, abuse and defamation causing investment shortfall/worldwide loss of face? being judged guilty of something that was not a crime in the first place and was not proven in the second..... being punished in all the illegal ways mentioned while a criminal investigation was going on into Whyte the Scoundrel's takover in contravention of SPL's own rules

Re: SPL Statement: Every time you think you cannot hate them anymore, that they cannot be more blatantly bigoted.....they make you think again

If any were sane they'd have spoken out against it already. They are all implicated. They all hate us and wanted us dead. Which is how I feel about them. Compensation courts, anyone?

Charles has just done so. :-D

Thank you. Point 6 says it all. WATP

"Bad people doing bad things." Well said, big Mark.
