  1. He has scored 3 for Norwich pre-season I believe.
  2. I doubt he would have joined the board if it was taking that route. Another pointer on what the statements going to be.

    Clubs fell into the Celtic blabber trap once and it nearly ruined Scottish football. I doubt they will do it again. After Wednesday this is a goner.

    Normally I wouldn't post things from this person (I held myself in) but this is obviously Rangers related.
  5. I have no idea what kind of people would see it that way to be honest. You can of course find something to be offended about even in a church if you are looking for it.
  6. Amongst 50.000 people you will always find something you don't like. I have never felt Ibrox unwelcoming and scary and to be honest it is the shouting you are a wanker at players from their first mistake that get on my chest.
  7. I certainly don't hate protestantism as I am one but I have to admit I was an SNP supporter from 18 yrs of age although because I live abroad I have never voted for them. I was always a labour person before that. Because of the Irish republicanism within the SNP I would not vote for them now. I would find it very hard to vote for the Tories, in fact impossible.
  8. Do we have to change because of what people see us as? I agree we do have an extreme but some people will only like us if we are like them. That would be giving up on our own identity and we can't do that. Cut out extremism but never forget our history,
  9. I can agree with you on a lot of points and agree we should support Rangers and not have other agenda's but we cannot shut protestantism and Unionism out of our history or just expect it to disappear because you or I dislike it.
  10. When i was back in Scotland I was disappointed first of all with the level of singing. Only now and again does a song get sung around the stands. Mostly it is the constant undecipherable chant of the Union bears stuck away in a corner. In Luxembourg i was further disappointed by the song book as there were few older numbers but the Cardoso song was sung every 5 minutes. We used to have such a large song book. Now I have read that the Cardoso song has been changed from "he is a class defender, he never gives the ball away" to "he hates the ****ing provos, he hates the ****ing ira" This makes me totally sad and disgusted to be honest. I doubt if Cardoso knows what a Provo is.
  11. MILLERS WARNING Rotherham United boss Paul Warne rubbishes rumours linking Rangers midfielder Josh Windass with move to New York Stadium Windass, 23, had been linked with a move to the League One side after falling out of favour under Pedro Caixinha By Ryan McDonald 24th July 2017, 1:02 pm Updated: 24th July 2017, 1:39 pm ROTHERHAM UNITED have ruled out a move for Rangers outcast Josh Windass. Windass, 23, had been linked with a move to the League One side after falling out of favour under Pedro Caixinha. But Millers boss Paul Warne has rubbished talk that he could offer the midfielder a way out of Ibrox. He told BBC Radio Sheffield: “Where do I get linked with players all the time? It’s unbelievable. “No, there’s no connection there at all. I understand he’s a really good player but so is Messi and I’m not signing him. “So there’s no connection there at all – unless someone’s signed him behind my back and hasn’t told me.” Windass – who only joined Gers from Accrington Stanley last summer – is behind new boys Graham Dorrans, Ryan Jack and Carlos Pena in the pecking order. Fit-again Niko Kranjcar and Jordan Rossiter are also ahead of the Englishman, while Jason Holt is also an option. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT Rangers set to make final bid for Jamie Walker while Kenny McLean remains on Pedro Caixinha's radar It comes after Windass’ former Accrington teammate Matt Crooks quit Ibrox for Northampton Town last week. The midfielder claimed he has went on to ‘bigger and better things’ by swapping the Premiership for England’s third tier. He said: “It didn’t go how I wanted it to go at Rangers, but that’s football sometimes. “I am just looking forward to the future now, moving past it, and moving on to bigger and better things. ooks has no regrets leaving Rangers “Rangers are a big club, but I think at my age you just want to play football. “When I was at Accrington, obviously the facilities there are nothing like they are at Rangers, but I would probably say I enjoyed it more, because I was playing. “That’s what you want to do as a footballer, you just want to play. I have been given the opportunity to play here at Northampton, and that’s what I want to do.” Meanwhile Phil Brown claims Harry Forrester snubbed the chance to join Southend United. Forrester, 26, was a major transfer target for the Shrimpers at the start of the summer – but was keen to remain at Ibrox and fight for his future. However, the ex-Doncaster ace has since been banished from Auchenhowie and told he has no future at the club by Pedro Caixinha. But while admitting he still holds some interest, Blues boss Brown admits a move to Roots Hall is now unlikely. He said: “Harry poured cold water on it but if we could rekindle it then of course I would still be interested. “But we’ve spent our money in that area now with Michael Kightly and we need a centre-back and a holding midfielder more than anything else.”
  12. I suppose that depends what they stole and how good the mother in law can cook whether it is good or bad.
  13. Not in it's present form anyway.
  14. Maybe now HMRC have won they would be willing to do a deal. Or has that shipped sailed with Whyte's aquittal.
  15. That is not giving a shit sensationalism to sell newspapers.
  16. Rangers millions at risk after London firm targets cash from oldco AND newco Specialists Henderson & Jones take control of Wavetower and Sevco 5088 as the fallout from the Craig Whyte era takes another twist. Rangers could face multi-million- pound claims against their assets as the legal fall-out from the Craig Whyte era takes another twist. A specialist London-based firm have taken control of Wavetower, the company Whyte used to acquire Rangers, and Sevco 5088, who were due to be struck off the Register of Companies. It could signal bad news for both “oldco” and “newco” Rangers as Henderson & Jones specialise in buying legal claims and pursuing them through the courts. Wavetower and Sevco 5088 both believe they have strong claims on liquidated assets and for assets held by the so-called “newco”. Sevco 5088 are the firm ex-chief executive Charles Green used to acquire the club after Whyte’s disastrous ownership. Henderson & Jones say they have a “team of expert litigators and insolvency professionals”. Their website says: “Our combination of financial capital and in-house legal, insolvency and investigatory expertise mean we are well placed to robustly pursue litigation once a claim has been assigned to us. “Because our business is dedicated to running a portfolio of legal claims, we streamline the litigation process, helping insolvency practitioners recover their costs and enabling us to pass more money back to creditors.” H&J joined the board of Sevco 5088 in June. Days later, they were appointed directors of Wavetower, now re-named the Rangers FC Group – so both firms were secure on the Register of Companies. H&J also joined the board of Law Financial, who hold security over Sevco. All the companies are owned by the Worthington Group – who are in liquidation – and are therefore subsiduaries. H&J told the Sunday Herald they are working with Worthington’s liquidators Begbies Traynor to evaluate any claims the firms may have against “oldco” or “newco” Rangers. The firm said Whyte has no involvement with any of the companies who could claim against assets or cash. “Oldco” liquidators BDO are believed to hold around £30million in liquidated cash – making “oldco” a plumb target for creditors who lost out when Rangers went into liquidation. Wavetower’s claim is based on an argument that they should be first in the pecking order for assets – even ahead of HMRC – because they paid off the £18million debt to Lloyds Bank when Whyte took over Rangers in May 2011. The money was raised from London firm Ticketus, who bought up future Rangers season tickets. But rather than leave the club solvent, Whyte had the debt transferred to Wavetower – meaning Rangers had spent £18million for no return. The deal also gave Wavetower control of the floating charge against assets that Lloyds had previously had. BDO are now set to pursue around 80 named individuals who benefitted from the EBT tax-dodging scheme which brought Rangers to their knees. At the High Court in Glasgow last month, Whyte was cleared of taking over the club by fraud in May 2011. Rangers made no comment yesterday.
  17. As everybody knows Barry is not my favourite person but I didn't wish this on him. If HMRC come after him it may be a good thing though.
  18. Not forgetting the hanging sex doll effigies.
  19. Check everything again and again until we find something. Or not wanting to hit the tims a double whamy in one week.
  20. It is a pity it has gone this way as buying the Record or the Sun ( I never bought the Sun) on your way to work was a part of life. There were newspaper boys standing at most factories. I used to come off the night-shift at Dunlop Inchinnan on a Friday and travel through to the Record to do Casual work cleaning the press. It paid a fortune compared to my hourly wage at Dunlop.
  21. I take it as this is not in the fixture list it is a behind closed doors game and will not be able to be viewed until RTV bring out highlights.
  22. https://www.rangersobserver.com/news/2017/7/23/daily-record-apologises-for-targeting-rangers-supporter I have not clicked on the Record since this broke so if many bears have done the same then it must be starting to show.
  23. Getting a player of his quality on a free transfer is a no-brainer. We would be thieves to our own purse not to do it. The old biblical saying comes to mind: "Let the one among you who has never sinned throw the first stone."
