  1. Thoroughly deserved win. Have a fantastic night folks, and rock the Fair City.
  2. FFS, my arse is twitching now, so must be brutal keeping control of you bodily functions in those stands.
  3. Looking forward to this. It s fantastic that neither of big Glasgow clubs (or Sevco, for that matter) are featuring in the national finals this year. Wonderful stuff! While a neutral, I have to lean towards a St Johnstone win, as every diddy club supporter deserves his day in the sun (shame about the weather). I am hoping for an incident filled, exciting match, and that every sphincter in that stadium is shredded by the final whistle (I own a sphincter repair company). No repeat of the League Cup final please, though last season's wasn't too shabby. So, on balance....'Mon the wee Saints!
  4. Not sure if this is relevant, folks, but it seems that Danny Lennon won't be the St Mirren manager next season....
  5. I support Saints but live in Dunbartonshire (a Paisley exile). I have followed Dumbarton's progress with interest since settling in this neck of the woods, and it has been great to see them coming on in the manner that they have under Murray. Indeed, my better half supports a couple of guys with learning disabilities who have STs for the Sons, so she has been to a good few matches this season, and has (somewhat grudgingly, it has to be said) started taking an interest in how they are getting on. I would rather Murray stays where he is, as I think that would be the best outcome for all interested parties - including St Mirren. I'm not suggesting that he wouldn't be able to do a job for us, but there would be a pile of pressure on him before he even crossed the threshold of St Mirren Park. A sizeable number of Saints fans don't really feel that it is the right time to replace Danny, so they would - quite reasonably - be looking on with a keen interest as to what extent Murray would be able to kick us on. As a rule, we are a shower of greeting faced b*****ds as a support, so he'd need to have a very thick skin. He would also be faced with a significant re-building job amidst the uncertainty surrounding the sale of the majority shareholding of the club. At least Danny kens the score on that front. Nah, not for me. Poor timing, and I remain to be convinced that letting Danny go is the best way forward for Saints just now. Murray should get another year under his belt at Dumbarton, and take things from there.
  6. What are you worrying for? You are the form team in the bottom six, FFS!
  7. You might be onto something there, not least in view of it happening during work time! The payout would enable me to patent and develop my new smartphone periscope torch idea.
  8. Whilst taking a shite in the windowless office lavvies at lunchtime today, the single lightbulb chucked it. Result - total blackness.... Fleeting panic set in, and then some form of other wordly force touched my psyche, and I reached into my pocket for my mobile smartphone and utilised the 'torch' function to ensure that I wasn't using my shirt-tail to wipe my arse with. No applause required - I am sure that any right thinking person would have done the same thing in similar circumstances.
  9. This is Not Just Your Seat....it is Charles Green's You are keeping it warm for the generations genetic mutations to come. Because The Rangers Football Club is bigger than Third Lanark. We are a team with over 50 thousand 50 overpaid mediocre journeymen. One footballing family distressed in light blue. Turning up to play our part every Saturday afternoon and floodlit night, and then leaving 15 minutes before the full-time whistle. Season after season For nearly two seasons now (and sometimes four seasons bookings for Ian Black in one game). Warming Hitting up in the training ground, the park; with teammates, with friends. Celebrating every goal, every victory, every piece of silverware (Ian Black had a line on with Raith Rovers and Dundee United to win). Never giving up, even when the odds are stacked against us we have the second largest player budget in the country and should be too embarrassed to even run onto the pitch given some recent results. This is a place where legends never die paid their taxes (allegedly). Where even the players are lifelong fandans. But we are all just custodians playing our 90 minutes and then passing it forward being awarded a penalty in the 2nd minute of injury time. Together we can make sure there's always a Rangers (oops....too late). Renew your ticket for the coming season (we've got yachts in Monaco to maintain!).
  10. First time on the bike in months this morning. Commute into work. I had lost my road confidence after a long lay-off, and it took a fair bit of will to talk myself into getting back on the saddle (and yes....it hurt a bit ). I was blowing out my arse after a route that previously wouldn't have even registered. A poor state of affairs, but overcoming the anxiety about getting out in the traffic again was the biggest hurdle. Fitness will come.
  11. I suspect that a significant number of The Rangers supporters will go ahead and purchase their STs regardless. Its in their DNA, after all....aherm. They will be pretty much like any other supporter who has a season ticket and is hugely possessive of their seat, beside their mates, and with the view of the game they've come to expect. The vast majority of efforts to galvanise an entire support base to demonstrate, boycott, or otherwise express a multilateral position in respect of the position/predicament of their club fall squarely on their arses. I predict an ignominious shambles. Again.
  12. Let's be clear about this, I have nothing that is remotely intelligent, nor constructive to contribute to this discussion. I require no excuse for exercising my entitlement to indulge in fatuous posting, however. When the subject matter demands loftier discourse, I will endeavour to oblige.
  13. Dearie me. A wee bit touchy tonight, aren't we? Feeling the pressure? You are not a number....you are a Freemason! There - another cliche. BOOM!
  14. What's a Rangers number (aside from 666, obviously)? I thought the idea was to encourage responses from the Big Rainjurs Faim'ly, far and wide (mostly wide....). Surely the powers that be haven't managed to brand every one of the multiple millions of ra pee-pel?
  15. I certainly took it very seriously indeed. Its too easy to write off a gesture such as this as a mere "gimmick" or, indeed, a feeble and somewhat embarrassing attempt to distract from the real matters of concern at your fledgling club, benny. No, I pretty much felt obliged to respond, and accepted the note of thanks for taking part that greeted me on completion in the spirit in which I'm sure it was extended.
