I just watched the press conference where SG walked into the briefing room at Ibrox and the press photographers all went nuts taking basically the same damn photograph for two minutes straight, basically hijacking the pc. Is that kind of behavior normal from the Scottish press photographers or were they taking the piss? I know Rangers is a huge club and it was a big occasion but that seemed a bit excessive. I know its a small thing in the grand scheme of what hopefully will turn out to be a great day in our history but I was wondering if anyone else was struck by that behavior in light of the way the rest of the press covers us.

That's what pisses me off. We have a great chance to stop them at 6 RIGHT NOW! There doesn't seem to be any sense of urgency to anything King and this board do. Is that my imagination? Seems like they should have had the share issue lined up and ready to go shortly after the AGM. The chances are it was going to pass this year and that would have given them some much needed funding, even with the loan paybacks.

I'm actually surprised this fact isn't its own thread! https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/rangers/graeme-murty-walter-smith-gives-me-brilliant-advice-1-4640780

I still can't believe what transpired in your gif there. What did the 'compliance' officer say about that?

If he wins all 6 is there any way they can demote him?!

The lack of action against multiple offenses by other teams, their fans or coaches where under similar circumstances Rangers gets punished indicate to me its more of a sinister agenda than just refs 'adjusting' outcomes of our games. Motherwell fans, Hibs semi final and the Lennon up yours gyrations are just three examples of incredibly unjust outcomes that everyone here would agree would have resulted in much more severe punishments had they been Rangers fans. Add on the Beaton beating early in the season and multiple shady refereeing jobs since and you can see a pattern. What's the saying? Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

Churches are still tax free but the restrictions on them have been lifted, even to the point of a proposal now to allow them to campaign for candidates from the pulpit. Their tax free status should be revoked if they are allowed to do this.

Aye, I've been the vulture waiting on the branch, waiting to pounce! Just remember it and it registered when you generalized against Muslims. Not asking you to care at all.

Apologies if I'm wrong but didn't you take me to task for generalizing about Americans? Why the change of heart when discussing other groups?

Damn! Sorry, should have looked through the McInnes thread. Too much money to pry him away? By today, you mean Thursday I'm thinking as I'm in Kentucky. You're up late! Thanks for the reply.

I was excited to read about the possibility of Van Bronckhorst returning to Ibrox to manage so I thought I'd come here to see what the talk was here and there isn't a thread about it. Is this because it's a pipe dream or for some other reason?

Well that was weird. Tried to edit my post to fix some faulty grammar and it hit the delete key two millimeters above my thumb click! Corrected original post below. Do you mean a raise because he would be first team manager? It would still be a cheaper option than McInnes wouldn't it? I've been thinking he might be the best option. I've read that other managers think highly of him and that he's incredibly intelligent. He is obviously well spoken and navigates the inevitable bait questions from press well, despite his inexperience. If I recall, he set up well against the scum, giving us a chance at least, which is more than Pedro did. He seems to have the respect and ears of the players. His inexperience is the only negative as far as I can see.

It just took another 10 years and a complete scum of an owner not paying taxes to come to fruition.

Or, as Monty Python would say; He's NOT the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

That's not an inept referee, that is a referee with a clear agenda. Is there no mechanism for discipline by the league after the fact for something like this? Why didn't Rangers appeal the yellow to Tav?
