That last line is causing me problems.........too much for my auld heid!...one too many negatives?

Me too, I loved the atmosphere, the feeling of bears altogether and taking over.......

Ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ta for that, Gaffer, it is curious, though

It is. The whole crowd sizes since Souness came is bonkers compared to the preceding decades. I first started going in 67-68 (best team I have yet seen, imo - yes the one that lost to Berwick but which could also go toe-to-toe with the best in Europe at the time) and the crowds were nowhere near current sizes on a regular basis. Not that this was poor, we were praised in football annuals for our loyal support for the following six years too. 25,000 being considered a show of loyalty in ordinary league games. We pulled in huge crowds for special occasions of course. Actually go back to the great 1963 season and look at the attendance figures then and you'll be shocked. Far lower than when we were in the bottom divisions!

They are probably still processing many, TB, or at least I'd guess so. I'll be taking out an annual RTV subscription from the virtual US to show my support. Not the same, I know, but I'll only make a handful of games in person and if it's a sell out every week then maybe no league games!

I don't blame you at all. in the old days, we used to write cheques every day. That was all that kept reminding me.

The sheep were terrible, though. As were we after the outrageous penalty decision. I thought we looked quite lively before that, though within the context of how sh@te they are. The standard of the games is astonishingly low. I guess that is borne out by the yearly Euro results which darken Scottish summers, and so should be anticipated - it is still jaw-dropping at times, though. All I really meant was that there is a big difference between "highly unlikely" and "virtual impossibility". Also, I have a fear of 'counting chickens' where we are concerned.

After the last six years that we have endured and some of the football scores around Europe this year, I wouldn't be so brash about this nor pick so outlandish an analogy. A couple of early goals for them, easily imaginable given our defence, and the nerves will start to fray. We're bound to have at least one player kicked out of the game (and most of next season) and another red carded into the bargain.

Goodnight all

I was sitting for two minutes happily awaiting a goal you bassa!

????? Hope that's me running late again

But ahead of the curve!

Goooooooooooooooooalllll I saw Craig's post before my TV caught up Thought I was watching "live"

He had a clear view, he was close - he had no need to guess (and anyway with penalties refs are supposed to be sure) and he didn't guess. Instead, he cheated, plain and simple

Further to previous reply, eve BBC text were saying how dominant we were pre their penalty. We were on 80% possession and looking very lively. "It's a very positive start by Rangers - especially down the right," purrs BBC Sportsound pundit Willie Miller. And, just before their ludicrous penalty: Steven Thompson Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound Rangers are definitely dominating the opening period. I think there’s a feeling among the supporters that Aberdeen aren’t getting up tight enough in Rangers' faces, they’re allowing them to dictate.

Completely different story in the opening - I thought the first ten minutes we had them completely rattled.

Dorrans kicked out the game now. I find it hard to blame our team for losing their way, as it must be so dispiriting to play well and get cheated so blatantly.

Ref had a clear view, was near and looking straight at it. hard to see how that is not cheating.

ffs ref gave them a pen - nonsense 1-0 to ssb

A good first ten minutes from us. Deserve a goal. They are rattled and cutting up rough. I am expecting a red somewhere already

And thankfully with commentary that makes more sense than any other!

Worry no longer, Hodson is on the bench in case we need him: SUBS: Kelly, Cummings, Alves, Hodson, Docherty, Goss, Rossiter.

I've dreaded every game for years. It has become routine. Still, the other league games v them this season have resulted in big smiles
