    Never heard it to be honest, perhaps wishfull thinking on my part.

    I would say there is no chance of him being knocked back, it's the media looking for hits and sales.

    What hits home is we are trying to get back to the top League in Scotland, it doesn't seem worth the effort.

    Those who want to make out that Rangers Supporters are bigots because of songs, seem to ignore their support for a Republic of Ireland player. Supporter songs are sung for various reasons, usually because opponents don't like them.

    It is supposed to protect the Club the person is joining, this one is to protect the tims.

    I don't know where that k came from. I would still like an answer tho'.

    Can I ask why you want people who take money out of Rangers to be on the Board ? Seems strange for a Supporter to want these folk running Rangers. You are probably as fervent a Bear as any of us, I would just like to know what you actually think of our situation. As an edit I have 100k shares, convince me I should vote for the present Board.

    Collins and Ferguson controlled the game against England at Wembley when he was 19. All the time he played for us and Scotland he always played to keep posession of the ball, something British players find impossible to do. Some games he played for us he was very very good, against timmy and in Europe, all in all he was a top player, but could have been even better.

    The Big Yin again ?

    Just about what I expected to be honest. Not sure what else they could reveal at this time.

    You have to laugh. "Dave King straight into a meeting with the Easdales - reports he was bundled into the back of a van and it sped off are just nonsense"
  16. chilledbear
    Easdales !!

    Sounds like a good story.

    The ref is employed by UEFA, by their rules he should have had them off the park. Disgusting by the Russian crowd and compounded by the referee.
  19. chilledbear
    I didn't notice until I read it again, you could actually think he meant Rangers fans.
  20. chilledbear
    Not sure he would want a place on the Board, perhaps one of the reasons he is worth listening to.
  21. chilledbear
    Ha didn't notice that, good man Rangers Supporter without a doubt.

    http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/barry-ferguson-saw-scottish-fans-2528944 YOU need a thick skin to be a professional football player. If you’re going to fall to pieces when fans scream abuse at you then you’re in the wrong game. But there are occasions when lines are crossed and when behaviour becomes so disgusting it’s unacceptable. That line was crossed in Moscow the other night. It wasn’t the thickness of Yaya Toure’s skin that made him a target for the bampots in the CSKA support. It was the colour. And this is exactly the kind of incident that should get football stopped. I’m deadly serious, if UEFA have any intention of stamping racism out of the game they should hit the Russians hard and fast. Kick them out of the Champions League right now and show the world football takes a zero tolerance approach to morons who think making monkey noises at black players is just a harmless bit of fun. I take my hat off to Toure for being able to handle what was going on around him and to concentrate on playing football. If it was me I might have walked off the pitch, as Kevin Prince Boateng did last season during a friendly for AC Milan. Maybe if Toure and his Man City team-mates had done the same thing – bringing a Champions League game to a standstill – it would have forced the powers that be to hand out proper punishments. But I can’t blame the guy for dealing with it in his own way. He stayed out there, took everything they could throw at him and did not quit until the game was won and his team was heading home with three points. He left them with nothing and I have to say I really admire Toure for being so strong. The question now though is what exactly are UEFA going to do about it? They talk a lot about “fair play” and “respect” but it’s time for them to put up or shut up and to show Toure they’ve got his back. They have a chance to make a real difference. Handing out two bob fines or closing stadiums for a one-off game won’t wash. It is time for a clear message to be sent around the world there is no place in football for behaviour such as this – and I’m speaking as a guy who is not easily offended. In fact, I’m all for rival fans giving the other team pelters. I used to love walking off the Rangers bus outside Parkhead on Old Firm day. As soon as you popped your head out of the door you’d hear the Celtic fans screaming and booing. It was brilliant. I’d go so far as to say I thrived on it. The moment you walked off that bus the game head was on. There was something special about walking out into a stadium knowing 55,000 people hated your guts – but the other 5000 were standing shoulder to shoulder with you and your team-mates. It created a feeling we were all in it together and that brought the best out of me. If you’re going to s*** yourself at the thought of getting abused you’d be as well walking back to the bus. It’s a man’s game and I don’t recall any team-mate of mine quaking in his boots because they felt intimidated by any set of supporters. Yes, a few of the foreign lads might have had that “what’s going on here” look about them when they first played in an Old Firm game but for me this was just the way it was meant to be. But I remember one game when I felt a line was crossed. It happened at Ibrox shortly after the 9/11 atrocity when Claudio Reyna was at the club. Some halfwit at the front of the Celtic end made an aeroplane gesture when Claudio was over there taking a corner. That one was hard for us all to take. I had sat in the dressing room with Claudio on the day the World Trade Centre came down so I knew how devastated he was. He had friends who were in one of the towers so it hit him on a really personal level. So for some idiot to stand there, arms outstretched, trying to goad and mock him at a football game? No, that was completely unacceptable. But what was done to Toure was even more appalling. I remember 1988 when I was just nine years old and Mark Walters had signed for Rangers. I used to go and watch a lot of games back then because my brother was in the team. To this day I can still see those images in my head of bananas being thrown on to the pitch. I was a kid, I didn’t really understand what was going on. But looking back, it turns my stomach to think Scottish fans could have acted like that. Thankfully, we’ve come a long way since then. If such a thing happened in a British stadium today there would be a massive outcry. You just need to see the stick Roy Hodgson has taken for telling a joke about a monkey to see how seriously the subject of race is treated. That ridiculous episode should never have got further than the dressing-room walls. Andros Townsend didn’t take offence because it wasn’t racism. It was just a bad joke. But what went on in Moscow on Wednesday night really does deserve all of our outrage. I just hope UEFA have the courage to do the right thing.

    I would think highly of anybody who doesn't have wheelbarrows parked in Copland Road.

    I noticed this post on FF, no idea if it has any substance. ''I don't know if he states names in the DR tomorrow but I am led to believe should PM etc be appointed onto the board then Purslow will become CEO & Blin FD in the short term (around 12 months) to provide stability before a long term appointment can be found.''
