  1. With regard to Belfast, I moved there three years ago and Scottish football is routinely mocked over here. Almost everyone follows the EPL, Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool are all far more popular than Celtic and Rangers put together. And that's from both sides of the divide. There are definitely some Celtic and Rangers fans over here but they are a minority and to be honest they tend to be the worst examples of both. Utter arseholes, nasty, bigoted, thick and vicious. Everything that is wrong with the support of both sides is exaggerated and celebrated over here. I don't even go to the pub to watch games anymore cause most of the Celtic supporters over here make me want to puke and as for travelling to the games with these clowns, forget it. The Rangers ones seem to be even worse, back in Glasgow I know loads of bears that are good guys but over here they ALL seem to be the Vanguard Bear types, covered in UVF tattoos and attempting to hold the city hostage with their protests. Its horrible.

  2. Posting your PIC is indeed fucking outrageous, what message is that sending? I've had run ins with their sort myself, I always assumed they saved all their vitriol for people like me with the audacity to have a foreign name. Never thought it was actually as bad as that when it came to infighting amongst the bears. You guys are buggered if that is what you can expect from your fellow fans.

  3. So who buys the shares? Can't see many Rangers fans feeling the need to line the boards pockets. What do you think Tedi? You don't seem like you would want to be involved in that, might be wrong there. Institutional investors might be dubious too given the costs\losses to date. Will it be a big tug at the heart strings of the fans? Even then will a third share issue be required to get close to Celtic once Rangers are in the prem? And surely nobody will fall for it a third time.

  4. I've asked this before but sometimes posts get lost in the he said, she said shite that periodically derails this thread. What is the actual split with the Rangers supporters groups? Is it ego based, are there actual reasons or is it just Judean People's Front vs People Front of Judea stuff. Not taking the piss, I really don't get it.

  5. I tend to agree with you about the timescale. I just don't see Rangers fading to mid-table as some folk suggest. With the second biggest budget and a manager who has a clue it should be just a matter of time.

    What I was getting at was that many Rangers fans have been brought up on success after success. For them the adjustment to how things were before DM poured money into the club may be hard.

  6. one thing i think people seem.to regularly forget is it was marlbrough and holmes where the ones who laid the foundations for the 9 in a row years i.e bringing souness and all of englands top.players to rangers infact some older bears might confirm this for me in that i believe it was souness who talked murray into coming to rangers ? so before murray arrived rangers where already starting to improve after a shite period during the early 80's

    True but the reason Rangers were able to bring top England internationals to Ibrox was the European ban. Surely you don't think that will be the case again?

    What I was getting at is that the pre DM years are hardly something most Rangers fans would aspire to. Unless you think tht football from 50 years ago is somehow relevant.
