thats exactly what i thought, gribz. cheers for clarifying, though i think that most people round here would know precisely what you meant anyway.

i'm not sure i mentionedyour allegiances. and given that your assessment of the response to the pictures was wrong, its not much of a jump to assume gribz' intentions were just poorly worded. we've had open and honest debates on polish workers here before - with both for and against views expounded frankly, so we can be sure to be able to get reasonably, via a discussion, to whether someone is actually racist without resorting to reactionary accusations. even a simple 'you cant really htink all polish are dodgy, by being polish do you?' would have been constructive. you weren't going against any grain, because you a) misinterpreted sectarian overtones, and b) uncharitably and unquestioningly assumed some underlying racism without questioning it. and your allegiances were only brought up by you. which actually does make me suspicious because you can only then be talking about footballing allegiancess and celtic fans who aren't themselves bigotted tend to get on well here without hiding (though there is debate as to whether they should be allowed, it being a rangers forum and all). i wouldn't think you were a celtic supporter because i dont imagine there's much to be gained here if you were even minded. eta: these pictures are stupid - boruc makes enough of an arse of himself without our 'help'.

can you point out where someone called him a wanker because he has a picture of the pope up? no-one. you sound at it to me m8. no, i think its really just because he's widely considered a wanker. walks like a, talks like a, etc. i dont have enough energy to care, personally, but still. "these comments of intolerance" are a product of your mind - gibberish paper talj. the only one comment that could be remotely accused of racial stereotyping is ambiguous, given the context. why start on about field days and MOPES instead of just asking him to clarify? its very easy, look: 'gribz, do you tihnk that polish people are, always and invariably, dodgy, simply because they are polish?' or did you just mean it as 'i've came across quite a few dodgy polish people'? we can clarify right up so simply. hmm.

too right! this a fooking fantastic result! 100 mils worth of talent gliding its way towards you and we stood firm. MOAN THE GERS. :cheers:

thanks lads

great guy that henry, never doubted him.

would be warmly appreciated

totally agree - the only time we looked really like losing a goal was on the break. it wasnt pretty to watch, but who cares, man? we hard arguably the better of the chances from open play. whats the point in all that possession if you aren't cutting the other team open with it? you take every single point you can get in the champions league.

aye, man, fuck it - moan the optimism. bring on yer spaniards (well, catalonians) by the score! :cheers: i said at the beginning i just want the biggest clubs to grace the ibrox turf, and experience the ibrox atmosphere. we've got to pit our wits against the best, even if it means the possibility of getting humped.

must say though, the guy's right. cant see us getting much else than a humping against the best passing team in the world. two banks of five aren't going to be enough to stop this crowd. hope i'm wrong though.

i dont understand why we keep talking about scott brown, though. he's clearly a good player. he didn't sign for us. thankfully our player got the better of him, today at least. end of.

they were rattled and undisciplined. end of. cant believe how much paranoia i've seen about the ref postmatch.

i think its no suprise barry shines in the backstothewall games. i think our defensiveish 451 really suits him, but he's never going to be an attacking midfielder. i think the formation'll need to be sorted.

its a team game ffs. there is an irrational critique of bf's performances, there really is. ronaldinho doesn't play to his capacity every game, and i think quite a few of our poorer results this season have been down to experimenting with formation - things like playing boyd on his own up front. bf plays when he needs him, and like everyone, can improve. but this tendency to single him out so consistently i find quite irritating. cant help but wonder if its because he's scottish. i certainly have some doubts about his character (see the whole plg debacle) but not his ability or commitment.

i dont think they can rightfully complain about injuries - thats why you have a squad. dont spend all your money on one player. its going to be a lot closer this season.

""Anything can happen in football but it's impossible for Rangers to beat my old club." thats one of those statements like in anchorman "60% of the time, it works, everytime" "that, that doesn't make sense".

i'm perfectly glad he was like that. he was never in any danger of getting sent off, and perfectly wound them up. the boy is a walking superiority complex, and teams need that.

i agree, hutton more than held his nerve on saturday, as did everyone really. thats why we won, surely.

to be fair, though, the largely unlauded kevin thomson kept him firmly in check on saturday. kt gets so little credit, but he rarely loses the ball, makes the easy pass, and constantly harrasses.

i cant remember any other player in recent history who's so consistently played well in big, big games.

saw this today, what an amazing story.

porno piper, ffs! no way.

cammy, i wish you would stop this hunnish sectarian nonsense. its just good natured craic, and its actually oppressing to their political religious views to question whether they are being bigotted or not. any more of this clearly sectarian pointing out of double standards and you'll have to ban yourself.

... needles and pins.

on setanta just there interviewer: all these games most be tiring, physically, perhaps not the ideal time for an old firm game? mcculloch: its my first game, so its ideal for me, i just want to play in it. he's been great this season, far better than i honestly expected. hope he does it today.
