The Chronicles of the Banter Years (2012 - ∞)

The worst thing about the "Banter Years" is Celtic fans thinking everyone's on their side now. I'd happily see both clubs, and fan bases, hurled towards the Sun. 

The Celtic fans don't quite know what to do with themselves now. No point having a siege mentality when the besieging army turned out to be a figment of their imagination.

Are folk seriously suggesting that us deciding against offering someone £60k a week is a bad thing?


Yes. Until you do offer someone 60k a week and that’ll be a bad thing.

The sooner you accept that Dave king could cure aids, cancer and famine in the space of a week and the rest of Scotland would still hope rangers burn in the fiery depths of hell, the better.

They appear to be filling the void by mocking up newspapers and writing poems in the anti-humour genre.

You "deciding against offering someone £60k a week" in this instance equals "theRangers can only afford to offer circa £10k a week plus a free Harry and Megs souvenir tablecloth"

I think it's more the point that there are sections of your support that think it's possible for you to attract names such as Skirtl, Torres, Defoe, Lucas Leiva etcetera etcetera thats the funny thing when anyone with half a brain knows it's complete fantasy. (bookmark this, so that I can apologise if it happens)

The official Rangers paper the Daily Record is also trying to egg on deals, not just their stupid supporters.

Empty ‘exclusives’ with absolutely zero substance.

‘Defoe is on 50k a week but Bournemouth will be willing to pay most of his salary and sanction the loan move.’

‘Gerrard will use his name and connection with Lucas to tempt him to join his revolution at Ibrox.’ 

The epitome of the term ‘fan with a keyboard’.

FTFY

You're forgetting one thing mate - Jermain Defoe hasn't won anything in his career so the opportunity to win the Scottish League Cup is one that will be too tempting.

Going by Barry's logic here Defoe would be better signing for TNS or Ross County who have more of a chance of winning silverware next season than Rangers.

Rangers didn't decide against offering him £60k a week. He(Or his agent) decided against taking a monumental drop in wages.

Personally I think showing interest in him in the first place is more worrying. He was OK at Liverpool a long time ago but far from reliable. He is now past his best and has spent the last year in and out of his team with recurring injuries. It had all the hallmarks of another disaster and from where I am, Rangers being skint is probably a blessing in this case.

At least those clubs have won major trophies in their history.

Wonder who the next target the Record will start with who Rangers couldn't afford in a million years.

It must be like playing Football Manager as Clyde and trying to sign folk like Scott Sinclair.  'We can give you 300 a week part time m8?'

I say we run a competition as to who will be linked next.  I'm amazed Joe Allen hasn't been linked considering Stoke were relegated and obviously he would have more of a chance to be a champion at Rangers.

Yep, some kind of sweepstake?

Everybody should be allowed to nominate one player who Rangers will be linked with before the season starts.  If you're right then you get....um...lots of Charles? :lol: Rangers Summer Signing Sweepstake Picks

The Minertaur - Joe Allen

Thistle_Do_Nicely - Liam Lindsay

Desp - Robert Huth

Darren1872 - Daniel Agger

Ammo Airdrie - Charlie Adam

Lewisnorthfield - Glen Johnson

Liam Lindsay. Big unit of a CB, should be within budget, part of the SPFL Team of the Year not long ago. Then again he'd be a bit of a common sense target so them spunking it on a Cribari type is more likely.

Didn't play a single minute of league football last season due to injury, he's over 30 and he used to be good. 

Seems to fit the profile.
