Monkey Tennis Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Agreed. "We are THE rangers, no one likes us, we don't care" - BOLLOX They want to be top of the pile and hate that everybody's laughing and pointing at them. I honestly believe that for a great many of their fans, it really is all about achieving dominance. While many of us, after coming through what they have, would be intensely grateful to still have a team to watch playing football, for most Rangers fans, it's not about that at all. It's about winning. It's about winning matches which are total mis-matches and it's about winning trophies to somehow feel superior. We see it in the laughable, empty posturing of people on here like Bendarroch and Tedi who aren't idiots. We see it in the triumphalism of a BP who clearly is. We see it also in the rhetoric of Mather and his misplaced swagger about attempts to involve King. I honestly believe that most Rangers fans cannot envisage following a side that doesn't have the dice loaded in its favour. It wouldn't interest them at all. I've said before that Rangers as a club would rather risk another death than risk losing games on any sort of regular basis. This sets them apart.

Monkey Tennis Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 A bear attempting maths ... Fails to grasp their old club's ability to burn through cash quicker than a drunken bear in a lap dancing bar .... Fails to grasp (not saying it's 50m) that the money is not recorded in the accounts as unlike Newco we didn't need to use it and it will appear in the next set ... As for his figures and fag packet calculations ... :lol: :lol: Of course, another difficulty Rangers face is that so many of their fans are exceptionally thick, with a childish need to believe that what they want is the same as how it actually is. Those who are smarter are reluctant for various reasons to challenge the orthodoxy which is therefore allowed to be characterised by stupidity. It's this collective brainlessness which both scares and attracts the chancers drawn towards the boardroom. There are Rangers fans who are intelligent. However, as a proportion, they're not large or vocal enough to drown out the morons. The morons are too essential to the club's desire to rule the roost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Anyone else thought that the rebels 5 stars who hold a mighty 0.7% of the shares are on the payroll? And that this attempt to block and delay the AGM is actual a ploy by The Rangers board? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said before that Rangers as a club would rather risk another death than risk losing games on any sort of regular basis. This sets them apart. Let's face it, if Tedi was born in Torquay, he'd support Man Utd. If Bennett was born in Benidorm, he'd be a Real Madrid fan. If Bendarroch was born in Denmark, he'd have rejected all Danish teams in favour of Bayern Munich, and would spend his spare time informing supporters of Brøndby and Nordsjælland of their implicit inferiority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookies Love Me Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Which is why you should have revoked their licence permanently. But, the internal enquiry said whyte had no dealings with green or the club. Could this be the SFA leaking some info that's going to be annouced at the AGM? Oh, I do hope so! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Anyone seen Tedi after his recent post ... do you think he will be back to delete it? :lol: What did Bennett Lite have to say this time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjourned until 11 so lawyers for Rangers can read over a late submission. Might come back earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Either way it will piss you lot off, job done. Won't happen. You lot do realise that Eric Riley was involved in the decision making?

Monkey Tennis Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Fitba fans wanting their team to win, the b*****ds thast they are (grrrrrrrrrrrrrr) Oh Bennett, are we back to daft wee remarks that bear little relation the post they're supposedly responding to? Football fans the world over, do indeed enjoy seeing their teams win. The point here however is that I believe that only if they are winning are the bulk of Rangers fans interested. I also believe that the delight they derive from thrashing teams with far fewer resources, is evidence of an immature mind set. Let's' s just say that your post doesn't damage my theory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Fitba fans wanting their team to win, the b*****ds thast they are (grrrrrrrrrrrrrr) Our chairman once told me that the role of the board has two duties.1. Ensure the continued existence of the club 2. Put the best team on the park, subject to any financial constraint of the first duty. Your old dead club was run by guys who did 2 first, ignoring the bit after the comma, and failed with number 1. Most fans accept losing (sometimes often) in exchange for having a team at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 To be fair to Bendarroch you know most of his posts are pure deflection, whatabootery and entirely designed to needle and wind up other posters ... it's not like he hides it ... He is smart enough to know when the bears are being taken for mugs .. though he will never openly admit it.

AyrshireTon Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 You're missing the point, fans do accept defeats but they still want their team to win.I know what you're getting at, and agree.Most clubs suffer a drop in crowds when results are not going well. For clubs like Morton this makes a slight dent in the attendance since the hardcore support will turn up anyway. For clubs whose fans are reared on success only, it would make a much bigger difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
