No8. Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm reading from some rangers supporters that the Scottish Leagues are in decline, and some mention the lack of rangers in the top league is a contributory factor. FFS! What I want to know from them is, apart from sell-out crowds at Parkhead and ibrox for the derby games. What the f*ck else could they bring to the Scottish Premier division? Also, how could they have an improving effect on the rest of game in general and for all other teams finances? It angers me when a club that can't even manage themselves properly (along with their supporters and the main stream journalists) think that they are the "magic bullet" for the rest of Scottish football. Sorry. But, I don't f*cking think so! You never read that on here. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Pardon me if l don't buy all this pish and faux concern about how the Scottish game is perceived. It was only a few years ago that the two ugly sisters were trying to GTF to any league other than Scotland to play in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sting777 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Pardon me if l don't buy all this pish and faux concern about how the Scottish game is perceived. It was only a few years ago that the two ugly sisters were trying to GTF to any league other than Scotland to play in. Well said DD, though the rumour was that they wanted to leave their reserve teams in the leagues. Very nice of them.

stonedsailor Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 An inconvenient truth Mike Ashley is rumoured to be providing some additional emergency funding. Using Wonga.com to pay off PaydayUK? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sting777 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 It certainly wouldn't bother me and probably 99% of other teams supporters if Celtic and Sevco buggered off to another league, I personally think football in Scotland would be really competitive if that happened, but leaving your reserves teams? Yer havin a laugh! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Sir Craig of Whyte gambled on the CL and killed Rangers now the Rangers fans want every other club to roll the dice and blow it. One can only imagine that they see this as the only way to catch up with us. I've enjoyed our journey to the top, have you? I wonder if the bears are having as good a time as we have. The journey has been unbelievable, just when you think we have reached our ceiling we go just that inch further. No.8's comments about us pleases me, I'm glad he thinks the current team is no better than the team Terry had, probably the only time he has ever watched us was when we beat them on their own turf. I'm quite sure we have improved a lot since then simply because the young players that played that day have more experience and have improved vastly since then. But then why should we be surprised when a Rangers fan underestimates the opposition?. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reserves thingy would have to be approved by all the league clubs and anyway who wants to see a bunch of reserves play?. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedsailor Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I have no idea why the bears are dead set against Mike .. he may be their only chance at avoiding another liquidation, yet they seem hell bent on riding him out of town. He may not give them 'pure millions' but at least they will have a team to follow .... but the bears seem hell bent on self destruction in the vain hope that DK will be able to pick up the pieces cheaply despite this scenario being utter fantasy. You saw their mindset today, it's all about how others view them. If they're not perceived as something special they are not interested. It's vanity, pure and simple. Vanity is a symptom of insecurity. Sad that people get themselves like that really but it gives everyone else reams of entertainment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be safe to assume that most of their fans wouldn't care who runs the club as long as it is run properly, but what we are hearing is all the mouth pieces and traditionalists and all the scaremongering and made up shit over such trivial issues such as the name of the stadium. Maybe Mike Ashley needs to address the fans groups on the steps of Ibrox and give a rousing speech with all the usual cliches about Rangers being more than a football club etc. FFS if its worked before on them..........? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Refreshing post for the BRALT. Much of that horrendous 2-3 years has been self inflicted, a few years ago at least their was an optimism, a hope that it could be a fresh start with proper governance (with the money raised, it certainly should have), this made us blindly accept the promises of those running us. Now it is just a numbness many of us feel, the support is divided but I suspect many still hope that we are eventually run by owners that actually care about the football club, at the moment that looks very unlikely. the problem was though that The Rangers fans harboured a bizarre feeling of being hard done to (when in actual fact the game's governing bodies bent over backwards to accomodate the club). They also retained the former club's sense of arrogance and entitlement to success. Any sensible fanbase would have been asking serious questions from the start about exactly what money was being spent on and in what quantities in Division 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I miss the days of Brown standing outside Ibrox fist pumping and slavering to the excited masses. That was as much a highlight as shooders wi his crappy little kids keyboard. I think no 1 was the statue running away.

CityDave Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I was referring to the move South ... not the reserves. There will never be any move south given Scotland could be a separate from the UK. However having a European League system with a Superleague, Premier, and then regionalised 1st and 2nd Divisions with full promotion and relegation from the domestic leagues might be more likely and a more attractive future development, who knows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stood on the steps wearing a specially designed for him orange Rangers shirt and we know he like to wear football tops to show a comradery with the fans, they will be like putty in his hands and all of a sudden he will be the new saviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty dingus Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Given the crying about having a more competitive league why would this suggestion bother you? Where did I say it bothered me? It was the kiddy on concern stuff that I was pointing out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 The only reason the don't want Mike Ashley is cause they would struggle to carry him shoulder high down edmiston drive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
