7-2 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 You lot need to get away from Scotland for a break. I was just down to Newcastle for the weekend & it was brilliant, not a single mention of the OF or anything. It was fantastic! So, now I'm back, are they dead yet? A break? Try getting out permanently. You can go for weeks without hearing about them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 A break? Try getting out permanently. You can go for weeks without hearing about them. Too true. There's folk down here don't even know rangers are on life-support. It's weird.... Mind you, the same folk let me get great prices at the bookies when EPL teams play in Europe or England play in Finals competitions, so it's not all bad!

KTID Have to admit that I'm not a betting man but what I find amusing is when Rangers gets mentioned down here people think that Mark Hughes isn't likely to keep them up! Having a load of ex-pat weegies and bigots set up supporters clubs when they emigrate does not make them the 'global brand' they fantasise about being. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Would'nae mind a pint or two of whatever he's been drinking http://www.dailyreco...86908-23818618/ “It’s an intriguing possibility getting involved in Rangers because it’s such a big club. Since I’ve been here I’ve realised how passionate the fans are and how deep the roots run. It’s not just them who support the club, it was their fathers, their grandfathers, their grandfathers’ fathers. Yep the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. bigotry, a game for all the family. If Rangers' fans dads and grandads went to see their beloved Gers, how come crowds were so low when they were pish? It seems Rangers only got a decent crowd when they won stuff, weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 What does the future hold for all those pubs in every town and City that Rangers fans lovingly refer too as "Rangers shops"? You know the ones, you will be telling a gloryhunter where you were drinking at the weekend and he pipes up that's a Rangers/Celtic shop Does my tits in. Naw it's a pub where i drank ya fuckwit, Now tell your club to hurry up and die knobhead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy85 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Every time I lapse into thinking maybe they should survive in some form or other, after suitable punishment, you read something like this.. "If you're going through hell, keep going". Fucking hell. That poor kid has no chance, does he? Old Firm fans really shouldn't be allowed to reproduce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was in the late 80s and long before the nationwide coverage that has come from Sky TV You lived in Devon in the 80's? But you were a season ticket holder going to Ibrox then too. How can I argue with such first hand knowledge though. You lived in England for a while 30 odd years ago. I've lived in England for the last 15 years. You obviously know better. I submit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Would'nae mind a pint or two of whatever he's been drinking http://www.dailyreco...86908-23818618/ Brilliant stuff. To be fair to the player, he's just come out with a couple of meaningless soundbites, because someone's asked his views on something he knows nothing about. The real joke is that stories like this continue to run. No amount of succulent lamb seems to discourage these people who pass as journalists. I'm also enjoying the idea of Ally McCoist being involved in all these meetings and discussions. Seriously, what the hell can his input be, beyond helping the PR put out to the proles? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 And Rangers had the England goalie and captain due to being barred from European competition. Incredibly, Rangers sent more England players to the 1990 World Cup than any other club. Some people seem to think they're still as significant today - bless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILLIEA Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 One possible scenario? After liquidation two newcos emerge. One led by Dingwall and his dingbats the other by the minority of Rangers fans who are ordinary decent guys without the baggage. The football authorities favour the good guys and they are allowed into div. 3. The rest of us are quite happy because Glasgow is the largest city in the country and a biggish non sectarian club battling for success would be good for the game. I bet the fans involved in this newco would enjoy their football and the competition more. Dingwall and his ilk could go the Bankies route, if they had the stomach for it, and reform in the juniors. Could groundshare with I dunno, Benburb or even better St Anthonys both of which are close! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my time in Canada, they are certainly interested in the crowds and Celtic v Rangers thing but the "baggage" turns more people away than the rest brings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest Willie, I think it's asking a lot for two people to establish and organise a 3rd division club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
