Welcome to the forum. I'm born and bred Scottish and lived all my life in Scotland till coming to Oklahoma a little over 6 years ago now.

 

MLS is getting slowly better and will probably continue to do so but it can't be compared to the likes of Scottish football where clubs are over a century old and have had entire families supporting them for generations.

I agree with you on MLS. They are getting better. However, they missed the train withme.  Very cool, an immigrant...my GG parents emigrated from Scotland in the 20's. We need more European immigrants. Especially Scots!

I never formally introduced myself. That was rude and I apologize. 

 I am an American Rangers fan. As an American Rangers fan, whenever I refer to my team in my home country they either think I am talking about the baseball team (Texas Rangers), or the hockey team (NY Rangers).

I tell them, "no, it's a soccer team...they are from Glasgow, Scotland"

"You don't like MLS?"

"No" I reply, and pause because I know what is coming, but I hope that they will ask me about the team...they don't.

"Why?"

"Because it's dogshit."

That is when the subject changes and we move on with our days.

I have been a Rangers fan since I was stationed in Okinawa in 06. I am career USAF.

Now, with all of the issues, I like them more than at any other time. The whole remaking yourself thing that really resonates with me. I love that about them. No quit.

 

My nick:  Malangsob, is Thai for cockroach. I picked it up during a TDY (Temporary Duty) in Thailand. I got drunk one night as one is apt to do in Thailand and I ate one...or maybe two, on a bet. I just remember a Thai squealing "malang sob!"...it stuck...along with a leg that I pulled out of my teeth the next morning.

 

So yeah...Go Rangers baby!

 

 

 

Welcome to the site mate. A buddy of mine whom I played a niche online sci-fi game with was also an USAF stationed in Okinawa. We also do a podcast every week when the season is in effect where we talk about current games and developments. So you can also keep up to date with what fans are saying as well as informations.

Thanks bud...I subscribe to you guys on iTunes. When I finally get out of this frozen wasteland (Thule, Greenland) and down to Arkansas I am gonna re-up my Rangers TV as well (net too slow here...15GB/mth). It just makes things so much easier.

Hi all. I'm Danny, almost 36, live in Castlemilk and used to use Rangers forums a lot but haven't for almost a decade thanks to social media. 

 

I'm an unemployed web developer, used to have a website called OnlyAnExcuse (still my twitter handle) until I got sick of Scottish football outwith Rangers. I had an account on here years ago but can't remember the login details. 

 

Anyway always liked the stuff on Gersnet and thought I'd sign up again and talk to Rangers supporters without people of questionable hygiene butting in, which is par for the course on social networks. 

 

Looking forward to the new season under Gerrard and enjoying the positivity around the club that's been sorely lacking for quite some time. 

 

Speak to you all soon ?
