  1. If the tax case goes in our favour the TIMplosion is going to be massive:),what else are they going to have to do damage to the best/biggest/most successful team in Scotland,I cannae wait for it:devil:
  2. Four Dunfermline fans have been arrested over racial chanting at their team's game against Celtic in Glasgow on Wednesday night. The men, aged 22, 20 and two 19-year-olds, were arrested in Dunfermline following a joint operation by Fife Constabulary and Strathclyde Police. They are expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Tuesday. The officers from Strathclyde Police were part of the newly-formed Football Co-ordination Unit for Scotland. The four men were arrested following an incident during the game at Celtic Park, where it is alleged a small group of Dunfermline fans were involved in chanting racial comments towards the home support. The game was won 2-1 by Celtic. 'Clear message' Sup David Brand, a member of the new football co-ordination unit, said: "This operation again demonstrates the close working partnership between the new national unit and Scottish forces to eradicate sectarian, racial or offensive songs at football matches across Scotland. "It also sends a clear message to offenders that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated and through post-investigations, we will attempt to identify and arrest those responsible. "We will continue working in close liaison with our colleagues across Scotland to crack down on those minority fans that are intent in engaging in this type of behaviour." Dunfermline Athletic FC's safety officer, Kenny Arnott, added: "We have been working with the police to stamp out this kind of behaviour, we fully support actions to prevent and detect those involved. "Dunfermline is a family-friendly club and we welcome actions which will improve the experience for people attending football games." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-15895454
  3. Typical replies from bogtrotters,BHEASTS,I blame the schools
  4. I think this is all our worry,none more so then the manager,however if a daft offer comes in for him it's going to be difficult to turn down,unless he himself turns it down,and to be honest I don't think he would want to move unless it was for an established EPL team,hopefully. I can't see him signing for Leicester for instance,he will be at the Euros with Croatia and if he has a good tournament then he will be spoiled for choice for where he goes.
  5. It is quite an interesting/exciting prospect of having two wingers on the pitch at the same time,Aluko & Wylde.
  6. INDIAN hopefuls Jeje Lalpekhlua and Sunil Chhetri are expected to jet into Glasgow today as they bid to land dream deals with Rangers. Record Sport broke the news two weeks ago that the international strikers had been lined up for a trial at Murray Park as part of a strategic bid by the financially-troubled SPL champions to break into a lucrative new market in the subcontinent. And despite encountering some resistance from their I League clubs, FC Pune and Mohun Bagan AC, the pair are scheduled to touch down in Scotland this afternoon before joining up with Ally McCoist's top-team squad on Monday. And last night 20-year-old young gun Lalpekhlua admitted his biggest concern ahead of the trip is to make sure his hopes are not washed out by the Scottish winter weather. He said: "This opportunity is a dream come true for me - it's always been my dream to play for a big European club. "But the most important thing is for me to get acclimatised as quickly as possible. Obviously the conditions in Scotland are going to be very different from what we are used to in India. I think that could be a major hurdle for both of us. "I won't have much time to prove myself so I will have to get used to the conditions quickly and not allow them to ruin my chances. "But I'm really excited at the thought of it. Even if I don't get a contract from Rangers then it will still be a really good experience for me in football and in life. "I'm still young and this is a chance to experience a different way of life and a different culture. Then, the next time I get a chance like this, I will be better prepared. "But right now I just want to do my best. I'm prepared and ready for the challenge in Glasgow."

  8. The thing is nobody agrees with that sort of behaviour,however it has been going on for a long time from BOTH SIDES,Novo getting a bullit sent through the post,Beasleys' car being petrol bombed,Sandy Jardine getting threats from the IRA during a world cup with Scotland,etc;ect;. But we are talking about the mock offended here,songs that the BHEASTS find offensive is where it all began.
  9. RANGERS are the only club he's ever wanted to pay for. But Sone Aluko last night vowed to fully reimburse those close to him who made his Ibrox dream come true. Aluko, 22, feared his chance of signing for Ally McCoist was all but doomed. Aberdeen refused to allow him to complete the deal unless they got the compensation they were due. The transfer was almost off. But Aluko was stunned when his friends and family insisted on helping him in his hour of need — by raising £150,000. And last night — in an exlusive SunSport interview — he revealed: "It's been a stressful week. The fact I got a game was good, that helped. Things moved back and forth quite a bit so I'm just glad everything has been sorted out. "It reached the stage that someone had to do something. There was a stand-off. "I just looked at the situation and couldn't see this happening any other way. Someone had to be willing to sacrifice. "Rather than letting it all become very messy by going to tribunal — and risking having the deal fall through — I decided to invest in my own future. My family and the people around me also helped enormously to make this happen. "On the back of that we got it done. Now it's up to me to go and repay the faith everyone has shown in me and prove it was a good decision. "Apart from my older sister, the rest of my family are all back home in Nigeria. "Not only have they given me their financial support, they've helped me with moral support. That was amazing for me. "They've now gone the extra mile financially. It's brilliant when the people on your side believe in the same thing you do. I feel I will do well at Rangers and can have a bright future. "I've just had to make sacrifices to get there. "Hopefully when my career comes to an end this will prove to be a good decision." Aluko at 22 isn't an experienced pro who has earned a fortune from football. But in a day and age when the game is full of money-grabbing mercenaries it's a credit to the boy he even considered this option. He is convinced he will cash in by landing a long-term deal at Gers after his six-month stint. Aluko added: "I don't have millions in the bank. Looking at it that way, this is a big risk. It's a very big risk. I've literally put my whole football career on one decision. "If it goes wrong then it goes VERY wrong. Equally, if it goes right then it pays off. "I'm fortunate the people around me — my friends and family — believe in me. The people who are representing me have also been fantastic. "But I wouldn't have made this decision for just any club. I'm doing it for a massive, massive football club. One with great tradition. One with an unbelievable fan base. The staff and players made me feel like this is where I wanted to be." Aluko could quite easily have sat tight and waited until the end of the season when he'd have been free from Aberdeen's clutches. But he was terrified that would see his chance of moving to Ibrox pass him by. He added: "I had other options. I've had talks with various clubs and this never crossed my mind. Rangers is the only club I'd do this for. In my eyes it's a massive club worldwide. "I could have taken the easy route. I could have said 'I'm going to sit out the rest of the season'. But maybe I'd have missed out on Rangers. "I want to look back when my career finishes and say I played for top clubs. I didn't play football at the age of seven or eight thinking about how much money I'd make. I thought about playing for big clubs and winning things. I want to win trophies and at Rangers I'll get that chance." Aluko is now certain to become a target of the Aberdeen fans who have a hatred of Rangers. He said: "Do I seem like the kind of person who worries what other people think? If they boo me then that's up to them. Aberdeen are a big club but not as big as Rangers. If they think I've made the wrong decision then let them boo. But they'd be better getting behind their own team."

  10. I’ve paid to play for Gers SONE ALUKO revealed last night he has PAID around £150,000 to sign for Rangers. But the winger told SunSport: It's worth the risk. Aluko's Ibrox move was on the verge of collapse as Aberdeen demanded compensation for the 22-year-old and skint Gers were unable to pay. Fearing the move would fall through, Nigerian ace Aluko's family and friends helped him sort the cash wrangle. He said: "I don't have millions in the bank. Looking at it that way, this is a BIG risk. "I've literally put my whole career on one decision. If it goes wrong, it goes VERY wrong. "Equally, if it goes right, then it pays off. "I'm fortunate the people around me, my friends and family, believe in me. "The people who are representing me have also been fantastic. "But this is a decision I have made. "I wouldn't have done this for just any club. I'm doing it for a massive, massive club, one with great tradition and an unbelievable fan base. "But added to that, the way the people at the club have treated me convinced me this was the right thing to do. "The staff and players made me feel like this is where I wanted to be. "That's why I was willing to sacrifice a lot to make it happen and make it work." Aluko — set to make his Gers debut against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Sunday — added: "It was great to get everything sorted. "As soon as I got the opportunity to come here, it's what I wanted. "Everyone knows all about Rangers and Celtic and this is the biggest team in the country in my opinion. "I had three days to wait before I got to come for my trial, so I had a chance to calm down by the time I arrived. "I've not played a lot in the last four months, but I knew if I got an opportunity like this I had to be ready for it, so I've kept working hard. "Now I'm ready to play if the manager needs me and although I'm a bit behind the boys, I'll do my best and give my all." Aberdeen confirmed the terms agreed involved the 'receipt of training compensation, potential contingent payments and a sell-on clause'. Chief executive Duncan Fraser told the club's website: "Despite press speculation to the contrary, the club has been adamant throughout that the principles under which an agreement could be reached involved the recognition of our right to training compensation. "Rangers accepted these principles and, once they had decided that they would make a contract offer, we were able to agree a mutually acceptable position."

  11. Working now. The guy can hardly contain his excitement at signing for Rangers,I get the impression he won't let anybody down through lack of effort,I really hope it works out for him.
  12. I can't get this to work!,is it working for anyone else?
  13. This has all been just an all out assault on Rangers,nobody has ever been offended,simply an attack on Rangers.
  14. It would be interesting if it was a BHEAST sent off and they lost the game?,they would be hounding the SFA to get him sacked
  15. Welcome to the champions Sone. He should be taking this opportunity to develope his game further,hopefully the Rangers coaching staff can help him achieve that,he has the raw ability so he could improve.
  16. The Inverness midfielder has been cleared by a Scottish FA tribunal. Greg Tansey has won his appeal against a red card shown to him during Inverness Caledonian Thistle’s weekend defeat to Celtic. The Caley midfielder was sent off by referee Stevie O’Reilly in the first half of the fixture, with the official ruling the player had committed an act of violent conduct in a collision with Georgios Samaras. The offence committed has been downgraded to a "careless foul" and the player will have no punishment or yellow card recorded against him. Following the outcome of the appeal, Tansey will now escape a two-match suspension and is immediately available for selection for Terry Butcher. The Inverness boss appeared in front of the Scottish FA at Hampden on Thursday to state the case for his player, with the club’s £1,000 appeal fee and travel costs paid by a local businessman. Speaking shortly after the hearing, Butcher commented that "common sense had prevailed" in the SFA's decision. http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/inverness/282055-greg-tansey-wins-red-card-appeal/ Too little too late
  17. At least someone is taking up the fight! http://doublestandards.bplaced.net/
  18. It does prove that this is being ignored!
  19. RANGERS are hot on the trail of Honduran striker Jerry Bengtson. And boss Ally McCoist is also poised to step up his move for Dundee United kid Scott Allan. Prolific Motagua star Bengtson is a close pal of Celtic ace Emilio Izaguirre and is on the Ibrox radar. Gers will need a new striker if Leicester City land Nikica Jelavic in the January transfer window. Bengtson, 24, has also been watched by Norwegian cracks Rosenborg after hitting eight goals in his 20 caps. But Gers are keen on a first-hand look at the frontman. He's rated in the £2.5million category, but Gers could have cash to spend if top scorer Jela is flogged for £7.5m. Scotland Under-21 ace Allan could sign for a compensation fee of around £300,000. He has rejected a new deal at Tannadice after attracting interest from Celtic, Newcastle, Manchester United and others. Neil Lennon has spoken of his admiration for the youngster but Gers now want to steal a march on their rivals. Gers will boost their squad today when winger Sone Aluko pens a two-and-a-half-year deal. The 22-year-old is poised to sign after a peace deal was struck with Aberdeen yesterday. The SPL leaders had insisted they wouldn't pay a penny to land free agent Aluko. However SunSport understands fresh talks led to a compromise deal being brokered. And Aluko, who left Pittodrie at the end of last season, now looks set to join Gers. Meanwhile, Gers could have Sasa Papac back from illness for Sunday's league clash with Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. He missed the weekend draw with St Johnstone but is set to return, while Lee Wallace is still out. Boss McCoist said: "Both are progressing. Lee has a haematoma on his thigh from the Dundee United game when he had to come off and Sasa came back from international duty unwell. "We sent him home last week, but he'll see the doctor again and I would be hopeful he could be involved."
