I think that was the last thing on Brother Walfrid's mind unfortunately.

I'm reliably informed that WATP will not, under any circumstances, be under threat despite the challenges placed upon us both last night and in the future. There is nothing remotely offensive regarding the phrase and as such no reason for us to remove it from our background.

2 short articles for your viewing pleasure... http://www.gersnet.info/fmrangers/newmain/261006.html We Are The People 26/10/2006 Seems more than a few Celtic fans (let's be civil eh?) are in the huff about David Edgar (RST Spokesperson and all round good egg) signing off on Real Radio's Football Phone-In with 'We are the People'. Apparantly this phrase (used since the oldest bear I know remembers) is now sectarian and offensive. So much so, that Real Radio presenter Ewen Cameron (and his boss Jay Crawford) felt the need to apologise on David's behalf later on the show. Last time I checked, even Rangers FC themselves, back this harmless phrase decribing our thoughts of being footballs best supporters (how dare us!) and sticking together through good and bad. Why would anyone find such a thing offensive? Is there anything the Celtic support (and their many sympathisers) don't find offensive or sectarian? We are the people! The Junglebhoys Remember 26/10/2006 Also, this week, 'The Sun' reports that the official Celtic singing section will unveil a banner that will eventually be passed on to the Benfica fans paying tribute to their player Miklos Feher who tragically suffered a heart attack and died on the pitch whilst playing for Benfica in 2004. Very admirable the neutral may say but am I the only commentator finding this gesture to be a bit off? Apparantly on their forums, the Junglebhoys organisers talk about how this will bring them great publicity home and abroad. Why should that matter if they truly want to be so selfless? Remember this is the fans' group who paid an IRA terrorist to paint their Jock Stein banner. I'm sure the Benfica fans will be delighted to know that such a dubious group want to remember their player while still glorifying a terror organisation who murdered innocent women and children in cold blood. Just don't expect to read about that in the papers anytime soon. In saying that, maybe if we phone Real Radio and complain of being offended, they will apologise on our behalf? Or, like any other media platform, maybe Real Radio only find offence when Rangers fans are supposedly doing the offending? It's is interesting how quickly these platforms dismiss our thoughts when we find similar offence? But then again we don't have Chief Executives phoning up the station or sectarian fans' forums posting the address of the presenter's family. Yet, we're continually (mis)cast as the villains?

Is this the Beginning of the end for Dado . . .
Frankie replied to theboyharley's topic in Rangers Chat
Not aimed at you harley, but I think people are over-reacting to what is simply a couple of bad games for the big man. He's lacking that wee bit confidence a player doing well has but I've no doubts he'll get it back eventually. He might be in his last year but he's still got plenty to offer us over the rest of the season. -
He's on between 6 and 7pm only...
-
It's a fine tune...
-
@ gazza Now added: Gascoigne McCoist
-
Should be 6pm till 7pm mate...
-
As an aside, Davie Edgar will be on RR tonight...

http://www.rangerssupporterstrust.co.uk/news/2006/251006.html The Trust is delighted to announce that as part of our ongoing 'GerSave' promotion, we will be holding an 'Open Day' before and after this week's home match versus Motherwell. The venue will be the Ibrox Primary school (opposite the East end of the Main Stand) and Trust reps will be available from 10.30am till 2pm before the game and from 5pm till 6pm after the game. As always, we'll be happy to deal with your concerns or answer any queries you may have regarding the Trust, GerSave or any other issue you feel we might be interested in. New members can also join on the day and become a Rangers shareholder. Rangers play Motherwell that day (Saturday 28th October) KO 3pm.

No trouble at all... Added: Cooper Greig Laudrup Tunnel Gates Fascia 1 Fascia 2
-
Listen to me as if I know what I'm talking about...
-
It's PHP driven not Java...
-
Yes, but once the new banners are in each person's cache won't that be speed it up OK...? Everyone should be on broadband by now anyway... If folk complain, then I can change it back to one static banner and just change it every other day/week...
-
Each to their own.... SO far I've added: Struth Prso Burkey Fergie PLG Home strip If anyone wants anyone/anything else, post here and I'll see what I can do.
-
We definitely need a defender before another striker....
-
Should be working now...
-
It's in hand mate... Trying to organise a script which rotates the banner every time you change topics...
-
That's true...
-
He wasn't on as far as I'm aware. The Hearts manager issue has meant that Davie might have to wait a few days before appearing. That's how it works unfortunately.

http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,5~916992,00.html Might find it hard to get back into the side with Hemdani, Fergie and Adam all be superb in the last couple of games.
-
Nah, as a footballer per se, his touch and skill can be inconsistent but when he's confident and playing well he's a handy player to have around - as the last 2 games have proved. He's also shown some nice grit and determination to get back into the team by working hard and believing in himself.

FT: Can't disagree with that, but I'm of the opinion that we're not winning by boycotting phone-ins and that Cameron can still be used to our advantage. If Davie can get on there, it means some of the issues we want to see/hear in the public domain will get air-time. If we don't take part then not only we will lose the chance of that but we'll just have another Snyde on our hands. Sometimes one has to get their hands dirty to get the work done.
