dave.j Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Did not think the old company provided any of these loans to be fair. Old company? Who was on the board of the old company and who was on the board of the club? How come in years gone by the club website never felt the need to add (the company) or (the club) into their news items, but now they do? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every week The Rangers stumble The share price takes a tumble Coz no one wants to be your Teddy Bear.So they're askin' Fat Sally and know things ain't steady Yet the Succulent Lambs will keep lying Rangers are still "Ready" You're an Orc Cataclysm addict Ally doesn't care where you apportion the blame He's got the shares, he will remain He's an Orc Cataclysm addict He's always at it He's an Orc Cataclysm addict With apologies to Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellbhoy Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Not me, I welcomed the change from Murray but really knew nothing about Whyte, was certainly reserved about him. The P & Bers proclaimed him as a 'hero' knowing full well he was a crook, basically breaking the law is fine as long as you are royally fucking Rangers in the process it seems. Hmm, let's see ?, first there was the media spewing a multimillion pound take over and wealth right of the fucking radar you'd need the Hubble telescope to see it's limits. Then Rangers FC get sold for a quid as long as the banks debt has been settled but there's still that wealth right off the radar and Wyhte is going to pump gazillions into the playing squad putting ra Sellick into there rightful place under Rangers shadow. Then the internet bampots start making websites about how dodgy Whyte is and has feck all money and the EBT case will certainly sink the club. Rangers fans then start waving the fingers at everyone saying things like "yer only jealous" & "fcuk aff yer talkin shite". P&B starts creating threads and the BBC start to publicise Whytes dodgy past history but everything is fine the Rangers are still top of the league and that's all that matters isn't it ? Rangers fans have the stupidity to protest outside the BBC studios about the obvious lies they are publicising about their club and the clubs owner and are only out to damage the club instead of making the fans aware that Whyte is a cnut of the highest magnitude and their club is in serious financial trouble soon. Etc etc etc and so on Tedi, what you deem as us P&D's maliciously laughing at Rangers predicaments is mostly from your fans reactions at every fucking source TV, Radio, Newspapers, internet web sites devoted to telling Rangers fans the truth and so on. You reap what you sow and your stupid fucking support are reaping the fruits of their arrogance and deluded stupidity at believing every cnut was out to kill Rangers and were everywhere including a fucking Vatican conspiracy ffs. If yer stupid support had actually thought for a minute and got it the club is in sire straits, you might still be actually supporting the same club with it's original company intact in the top tier that would still be called the SPL. It's numpties like you that make us laugh at you and yer club because yer stupid. I'm Tedi and I'm not buying an ST stupid and Rangers will post a profit stupid and here's a link stupid and the ever glorious five star stupid and you still defend yer club stupid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbhoy Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Really? again? You don't have the stomach for it chump, you'll get yer arse handed back to you after it has been well and truly verbally raped. Also why the laughing Gif ?, it's not like you enjoyed getting publicly humiliated on a regular basis on P&B ?, or did you dopey ? edited to spell arse right cause I made an arse of it.

He's trying to "reach out" to the mindless horde that still believe in ally, also those who believe that rangers are a top flight team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It was Michael Stewart explaining that his job as a player was to make "Killer passes" that stuck out to me. I suspect this will be as much of a surprise to my emerald clad neighbours as it was to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
