  2. What was missing last season? Like most people, I was frustrated by McLeish - I wanted to say he was a poor manager, but he did get the results. There was just something missing, though - and that something, hard as it was to articulate, seemed simply to be that we didn't enjoy the way Rangers played - even when they won. So what was missing? Passing and moving. One touch passes. Movement off the ball. All variations on the same thing. Watching us play Middlesborough the other day, I began to see Rangers players playing football. It wasn't magnificent, but it was an infinitude better than all the football we played last season. At the end of the game I felt as if I had watched something worthwhile. The La Guen revolution is as much a revolution of football philosophy as it is a changing of personell - and I, for one, am looking forward to seeing not only a winning, but a passing and moving side next season - I think that is the best way to get the most from good football players.

  5. As we approach the new season, I have decided to take a different approach from Frankie who (rightly) gave you have analysis of our team that we expect to wrestle our title back from the inhabitants of Torbett Towers. Just as important as the squads ââ?¬Ë?on-fieldââ?¬â?¢ performances this season, is ââ?¬Ë?off-fieldââ?¬â?¢ performance. And, I am not just talking about the abysmal atmosphere at Ibrox. We are well and truly in UEFAââ?¬â?¢s sights and they have plenty of allies waiting for our first slip-up so they can run back to UEFA and point the finger at us ââ?¬Ë?big, bad bigoted Hunsââ?¬â?¢. Make no mistake, blind refusal to listen to UEFA (and Murray and supporters representatives) is no longer an option. If we donââ?¬â?¢t heed this warning, Rangers Football Club will suffer accordingly. Some will say that bowing to UEFA is a sign of weakness, that it is the first step to losing all of our songs and that those who support axing of The Billy Boys are ââ?¬Ë?sell-outsââ?¬â?¢, ââ?¬Ë?PC-brigadeââ?¬â?¢ etc. Given David Murrayââ?¬â?¢s refusal to back us even once, over the last decade, has led to us being unable to defend ourselves from this UEFA decision. In my opinion, we have no option but to comply with the UEFA directive as going against it is only going to lead to Rangers being deducted points, relegated, thrown out of Europe etc, and I donââ?¬â?¢t think that there is one Rangers fan that really wants to see that happen. The argument that ââ?¬Ë?fenianââ?¬â?¢ isnââ?¬â?¢t directed at Catholics and Craptic fans lost any credibility when sections of our fan-base started to sing the cringe-worthy ââ?¬Ë?You Are A Fenianââ?¬â?¢. There is no denying that sections of our fans think / believe that a Fenian is a Catholic or a Craptic fan. Cutting to the chase, there are going to be two distinct camps amongst the support this year ââ?¬â?? those who will refrain from singing The Billy Boys and those who will continue to sing this song as an act of defiance. Both will claim that they are right, both will see the other section as ââ?¬Ë?the enemy withinââ?¬â?¢. This is concerning, as is the fact that there has been no leadership from the club (although this was promised). So folks, Iââ?¬â?¢d like to appeal for calm from both sides over this issue and I urge the club (we only have over a week to our first home game) to release a statement that details what songs are considered ââ?¬Ë?singableââ?¬â?¢ and which arenââ?¬â?¢t. They must also clearly outline the severity of any punishment that we are likely to receive from UEFA for continued singing of The Billy Boysââ?¬Â¦. So, what ââ?¬Ë?campââ?¬â?¢ am I in? Iââ?¬â?¢m in the ââ?¬Ë?bin it for the good of Rangers Football Clubââ?¬â?¢ camp but can understand why people donââ?¬â?¢t want to give an inch over this song. At a time where Italian clubs are getting reduced sentences from match fixing, we are getting hammered from a ââ?¬Ë?songââ?¬â?¢. Apart from that issue, lets get right behind PLG and the squad and lets make ourselves the 12th man. I remember not so long ago that Ibrox was one of the most intimidating stadium in the world ââ?¬â?? we are the only people that can make this happen again. Cammy F
  6. Interesting to read that Jim Templeton and Rangers are threatening to boycott certain grounds over the issue of ticket pricing (and not before time). The grounds concerned are East End Park, Rugby Park and Tannidice. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/tm_objectid=17457781%26method=full%26siteid=66633%26headline=gers%2dfans%2d%2dfury%2dat%2dticket%2dprices%2d-name_page.html Cammy F
  7. PAUL LE GUEN is hoping to bring in two more players to his Rangers squad but it may depend on unwated stars moving on. He has candidly told three players that they should move on - Marvin Andrews, Oliver Bernard and Bob Malcolm - and if they do it may aid his chances of bolstering the squad. Filip SeboAndrews certainly played his part for Rangers in a two-year period, but his unwillingness to have surgery on a cruciate ligament problem cost him his World Cup place with Trinidad & Tobago. Malcolm has also been a good servant to Rangers but Le Guen has decided that it would also be in his best interests to find a fresh challenge. Bernard just did not hit it off at all, it is fair to say. Le Guen is on record as wanting to sign Slovakian striker Filip Sebo, who was a team mate of Libor Sionko last season, and also had one more target. The manager said: "It would be better for everyone if we find a solution but it depends on the will of the players.Paul Le Guen "It is better to tell the players the situation before the season starts rather than wait until the games have commenced. It means that they know exactly what is happening. "They have an understanding that I think it is best for them to go. Sometimes it is difficult to tell players that they should leave, but it is better to be honest with them. "If these players do leave the club I am not sure if it will enable me to bring more in. We will see. "I am not in a hurry but I hope that if this happens then I would be able to get one or maybe two more players." Loved the comment about Bernard. Nicest way of saying he was arguably the pishest player Rangers have signed in the last decade.
  8. Prso fears he is in final season Dado Prso is in the final year of his Rangers contract Rangers striker Dado Prso could be forced to retire through injury at the end of the forthcoming season. Prso has confirmed that persistent knee problems have forced his retiral from international football after representing Croatia at the World Cup. And he told the Sportske Novosti daily: "I'm 32, my knee is in bad shape and the end of my soccer career is near." He has a year left of his contract and added: "I'll sit down then with my family and see what is best for me." Croatia were knocked out in the group stages in Germany. And Prso, who scored nine goals in 29 international appearances, said it "was the biggest disappointment in my life". I had to retire some time and I have decided that that moment has come Dado Prso "I wanted to say goodbye to the team with style, not that way," he said. Croatia national federation head Vlatko Markovic had travelled to Glasgow in an attempt to persuade Prso to continue his international career. "I had to retire some time and I have decided that that moment has come," he added. Prso made his debut in the national squad in a March 2003 European Championship qualifier against Belgium. Croatia won 4-0, with Prso scoring two of the goals to confirm that he was the natural successor to the retired Davor Suker. He had left Croatia in 1994, during the 1991-95 Serbo-Croatian war, for France and has since played for Rouen, St Raphael, Ajaccio, Monaco and Rangers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope this is a injury free season for him
  9. Dado Prso looked in fine form this afternoon as Rangers played their final match ahead of the big SPL kick off on Sunday. In a game of two halves, Rangers dominated the first 45 minutes, but the visitors came back well after the break to level the match. It marks the end of pre-season for the Ibrox club as their next match will be at Fir Park for the SPL opener. Dado Prso and Nacho Novo were reunited in attack for the first time under Paul Le Guen this afternoon and they didn't disappoint, carving out the opener after eight minutes. Lionel Letizi spotted Novo on his way down the left and the Spaniard sprinted to the corner flag before whipping in a fine cross for Prso to fire home with his second touch. Minutes earlier young defender Antoine Ponroy tested Jussi Jaaskelainen with a header but the Finnish keeper just did enough to keep the effort out. Bolton too sent out a full-strength side for the opening 45 minutes with Kevin Davies, El Hadji Diouf and Ricardo Vaz Te spearheading the frontline. But with 20 minutes gone the Light Blues sliced Allardyce's men apart again and should have doubled their lead. Makhtar N'Diaye fed Novo, who did well to beat the offside trap and he raced into the box, rounded Jaaskelainen to fire goalbound, only for Abdoulaye Faye to slide in and divert for a corner. It was another excellent move and at this stage Gers looked in complete control. The visitors created a half chance when Kevin Nolan found space to meet Quinton Fortune's corner after 26 minutes, but his half-volley fizzed wide. They then created another good opportunity, again from a flag kick and Hunt could only watch as Gavin Rae deflected his shot past the post in 34 minutes. Both sides shuffled their packs at half time but it was Bolton who started the brightest and in the 51st minute drew level through Kevin Davies. The towering striker was perfectly positioned at the back post to meet El-Hadji Diouf's cross and McGregor was helpless to stop his shot. Gavin Rae saved Gers after 67 minutes when he headed Diouf's shot off the line, before Gary Speed then sent an effort crashing off the bar. RANGERS: Letizi (McGregor 45); Ponroy (Hutton 45), Svensson (Rodriguez 72), Pierre-Fanfan, Smith (Adam 45); Namouchi (Sionko58), Rae, Clement, N'Diaye (Hemdani 72); Prso (Boyd 58), Novo (Buffel 58) BOLTON: Jaaskelainen (Al Habsi 33 (Walker 62)); Hunt, Meite (Speed 33), Faye, Fortune, Diouf, Nolan, Haim, Al Tal, Vaz Te, Davies
  10. Zambia player impresses SPL duo Aberdeen and Rangers have expressed an interest in Zambia international Chris Katongo after he impressed against the Scottish Premier League clubs. The Jomo Cosmos midfielder played in pre-season friendlies during pre-season preparations in South Africa. And Cosmos chairman Jomo Somo said: "Chris has played exceptionally well and Rangers and Aberdeen have shown interest in him. "We won't stand in his way. I feel he has to move and he deserves it." Cosmos lost 2-0 to Rangers but reversed the scoreline in defeating the Dons. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Rangers have been offfered French defender Jeremie Brechet by Real Sociedad. The 26-year-old came through ranks at Lyon under new Rangers manager Paul Le Guen. Aiming high as always then.
  11. Rangers manager Paul Le Guen has told defender Marvin Andrews he can leave the club for nothing. The Frenchman says Andrews does not feature in his plans for the coming season, leaving the Trinidad and Tobago international to look for a new club. The 30-year-old has been at Ibrox for the last two years. But with Julien Rodriguez, Karl Svensson and Jose Karl Pierre Fanfan ahead of him in the pecking order, his Rangers career is at an end. Won't say I'm suprised to be honest. But Marv can be proud, he proved a lot of doubters wrong at times. I am, however, suprised that this article is saying Fan Fan is the third choice centre back when clearly he's held talsk with other clubs, meaning we only have 2 tried and tested centre backs who are 100% sure to be at the club this season.

  14. Currently, we are being portrayed, and seen as the BNP, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda of football and have a huge job to turn this perceived image around. However, this is a direct consequence of Dodgy Daveââ?¬â?¢s continued refusal to publicly back us, the Rangers support. For years, many media outlets in this country have openly lied about the actions of Rangers fans. From the supposed riots in Sunderland and Bradford to us cutting our pitch to resemble a sash to the annual criticisms of our kit, sections of the mhedia have shown their agenda ââ?¬â?? to demonise Rangers Football Club and itââ?¬â?¢s supporters. Now, I could go on and on about things that have been printed in certain papers by certain journalists, but I am aware that the Amazon rain-forests are running out of tress and I donââ?¬â?¢t want this blamed on Rangers fansââ?¬Â¦Ã¢â?¬Â¦. Anyway, itââ?¬â?¢s safe to say that we all know the main culprits and their many lies and innuendos. I have to interject here and discuss the UEFA decision and that by not challenging this, David Murray has given our enemies ammunition and by god are they using it to their advantage. The RST rightly said that only through education and not condemnation could we change attitudes, they are right, but it is a pity the media donââ?¬â?¢t see it this way. We are working to eradicate some of the songs and chants that are heard at Ibrox and elsewhere, and after the UEFA decision we were promised that the club would take the lead and inform us what we can sing and how they were going to promote and celebrate our proud history and tradition. Linfield Football Club have, through community work, education and PR positively created an inclusive club which still promotes and celebrates itââ?¬â?¢s loyalist roots. We could learn a thing or two from Linfield. In a recent Sunday rag, they told the journalist all of the above and came out with some good press. Meanwhile, David Murray sits in his office counting our cash whilst allowing everyone and their dog to have a go at us. The latest is the Daily Record and their take on why the Bolton friendly was cancelled. Now, as I have said previously, compare his ââ?¬Ë?dignified silenceââ?¬â?¢ to attacks on US to his fast, strong and legal attacks on anyone who dares question Mr Murray or his suntanned mukka Mr Bain. In all honesty, I am at the stage where I believe that Murrayââ?¬â?¢s malaise has spread to a majority of the support who either donââ?¬â?¢t care what is written about us, or worse, actually believe what is written about us. So, what can we do? That is the $64,000 question. Firstly, we have to openly admit and embrace our past ââ?¬â?? we are a football club who represent the Protestant traditions in Scotland and further afield. This is NOTHING to be ashamed off ââ?¬â?? it should be celebrated. However, we are an inclusive club who welcome fans / players / employees no matter their colour, creed or religion. Secondly, we have to convince our fans that by celebrating our Presbyterianism, this doesnââ?¬â?¢t mean disrespecting other religions. Thirdly, we have to do this publicly whilst fighting our corner in the media. That will require a PR Department that will rapidly respond to any inaccuracies that are published in the media. By doing this, we will show that we mean business and the journalists will be treated with respect, only if they treat us with respect and fairly ââ?¬â?? after all that is all we ask. Can this be achieved? Yes and easily. However, can it be achieved with David Murray at the helm? I seriously think not ââ?¬â?? this is going to get worse before it gets better unless Murray acts and acts swiftly ââ?¬â?? over to you Mr Chairman. Cammy F

    Aberdeen

    Its well known my home town is pretty much hated and slated by a lot of posters on here, and i certainly know 1 or 2 dont appreciate me on here simply because of my birth place - that is well obvious with a certain poster. However, im going to take a stand, because all my family and friends are all from there. Somebody tell me where the rules are that say people who are born in aberdeen can not be as much a rangers fan as someone from Grenta!! In fact being a rangers fan from aberdeen has its advantages - we dont even realise what the religion factor has to do with anything! Yes i know around 200 aberdeen assholes go to ibrox and sing shite every trip and when we play them at pittodrie the same neds gather together and take advantage of any group they see. However a minority group of assholes do not reflect the hole city and its people! So fuckin lay off the city and its people unless your an expert and know everyone personally!
  20. BEGINS There has been some speculation as to the reasons behind the public safety concerns that led to the decision of Greater Manchester Police not to provide policing services at the match between Bolton Wanderers and Glasgow Rangers On Tuesday 25 July. The agreed ticket allocation for Glasgow Rangers was 5,000. However, the club subsequently provided information that Bolton Wanderers should expect 12,000 fans to turn up for this event. A review of intelligence surrounding the event indicated that these numbers may be further swelled by holidaymakers from the Glasgow region attending Bolton on the day from Blackpool. Information provided by Glasgow Rangers indicated that in excess of 120 coach parties would be attending, which were not capable of being received at the Reebok stadium. A normal full Premiership fixture would attract no more than 17 coaches. Given the uncertainty around accurate numbers of supporters attending, and the probability of many thousands of fans without tickets descending upon Bolton, it was not possible to further plan for this event within the margins of public safety that we normally employ. Greater Manchester Police is highly experienced in policing football, having some of the largest teams in the country and the world based here, and our expertise in policing such events safely is outstanding. It is in this context therefore that this decision not to provide policing services was made. ENDS Jackson is looking rather silly now.

  22. Just weeks after David Murray promised us (yeah, like we'd believe him) statements that would defend our club and promote our heritage and tradition, we have yet another TWAT in the media attacking our reputation. Recently, Martin Bain was accused of dodgy dealings in a newspaper and David Murray via Rangers, issued a writ 2 hours after the story was run - killing the story stone-dead. How long do we, the fans have to wait for Murray to act? Well, for a man that won't defend DEAD Rangers fans, there isn't much hope of him defending the living is there. Defend US NOW or GET TO FUCK Mr Murray Cammy F
  23. What an opportunity for Mr Murray to get massive respect from us, the fans, by banning The Daily Record and its 'journalists' from Ibrox for the latest sensationalist and inacurate slur against Rangers FC and the fans. Will he take it, not whilst they still put money into his back pocket. Cammy F
  24. Real shame for him, hope he's not out for too long.
  25. A few weeks ago, there was a thread about Still Game and I mentioned an article written by Still Game 'star' Sanjeev Kohli which stated that Rangers fans thro bananas at Mark Walters. Well, I've managed to find the article as a link was posted on FF. Here it is for your information ; http://www.sundayherald.com/print23584 Oh, and this article went unchallenged by Rangers Football Club Cammy F
