Thanks to you both for trying but my poor, befuddled brain just can't take much more of this. I seem to remamber a Star Trek episode where the aliens' language was completely based on cryptic metaphors, which made the ship's computer useless for translation purposes.

God knows, I do make an effort to read through this thread, I really do. But sometimes it's just made so difficult. For example, I've read the phrase highlighted above several times now, but I've still no idea as to what it might mean. It's like very bad 1950s beatnik poetry; or someone trying to be Jack Kerouac - and failing miserably. My old English teacher used to tell us to always, "avoid the ramifications of using an over-elaborate metaphor". I think this illustrates what he was on about. Can someone translate? English preferably.

…to be fair, both Arthurlie and Pollok are honourable clubs with proud traditions. I believe that both clubs operate a "Nae Riffraff" signing policy.

Wonderful!!! I think I will nominate this post for this year's Nobel Prize for Literature. Dickens, Gogol, Graeme Greene, Albert Camus; eat your hearts out!

That's some statement. The Rangers surrounded on all sides, a cynical media, deliberate campaign of misinformation being waged against them, a repetition of the possibility of sinister forces at play. He even mentions a schism within the Rangers' supporters! I predict that in his next statement, Herr Traynor will officially reveal details of the Revenge Weapons which will be unleashed against Rangers' enemies and will utterly destroy them. Chuckle, Chuckie über alles!

If the Commission members get police protection would that be a quantum of polis? I'll just get my coat, then

Sorry! I meant to give you a greenie for that post but hit red by mistake. I blame the beer. Bad beer! Bad, bad beer!

You mean like in "Frankenstein" where the reanimated monster realises that, because of its brutish behaviour, it can never be accepted as an equal in any civilised society and so decides to hunt down and destroy the evil man who created it? A sort of, "four men had a scream"! Where's that coat?

Well, we definitely won't be seeing any more posts from you on this forum, will we?

Perhaps they are now drowning their sorrows in a wine dark sea? …..OK, I'll just get my toga and go.

I'm Harry Brady! ………...but you can call me Spartacus.

Isn't it obvious?…………………………..Rangers' new sponsor is the Daily Telegraph! Well……….perhaps not.

And, as the present Pope served in the Luftwaffe during the war, he's probably doing it from a great height!

….and my social worker says I'm very special but I'm not sure what that means. I think it means I'd be an ideal season-ticket holder for the Rangers.

Is it just me? When I read the statement (in full) it was almost as if I could hear Craig Whyte's voice speaking the words. Has he been secretly in charge at Ibrox all the time? Hidden away in a secret high-tech command room, manipulating everyone while laughing quietly to himself as he strokes the unfeasibly large, white, shaggy cat on his lap? Oh, where is James Bond when you need him? "Yesh, Mish Moneypenny - if it'sh a big shaggy pussy I'm shertainly the man for the job!"

Great post! It hits the nail right on the head. Rangers' fans continue to be conned something rotten but can't bring themselves to believe it's still happening.

Don't tell me….the 'agenda" is conducted by people who are so envious of the mighty Rangers that they have become" obsessed" by them!

It's funny that you would never see Souness and Barry Chuckle, (the smaller and, if I may venture, more talented of the glorious Brothers Chuckle) in the same room at the same time. Hmmmmm! Makes you think, though.

Page 2400!!!! Will I live long enough ever to se the end of this thread?

Honestly, how naive can you get? That kind of, head in the clouds, thinking might be okay for intellectuals and philosophers, but this is the real world. Those kind of thoughts could get you into trouble.

Juniors for me if this nonsense goes through. Here's hoping for a future UEFA inquiry into the machinations of Scottish senior football.

My colon is spasming in sympathy with you - have something green.

As Edmund Burke once said Quote When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle. Edmund Burke was a very smart man.
