  1. This is exactly the kind comment we don't want from (Rangers?) fans. The last thing we want is for Rangers to end up with a points deduction for sectarian behaviour. If that's your game and that's exactly what you do want then maybe you should leave the football to loyal Rangers fans of 50+ years like me . Perhaps you should give up the pretence of being a fan of Rangers and go and join your local cage fighting club. When you have something valuable to add please feel welcome to come back and contribute. Until then put on your loincloth and get kicking!
  2. I totally agree with you. This is shite. Bring in Kevin Keegan, the guy who hates Scottish football with a passion, and he might manage to do a better job of destroying the whole Scottish Football setup than we are managing to do ourselves.
  3. This is the reality check I am talking about. The reason we are in the situation is because Rangers broke the rules. We were not relegated by lack of points gained. Please try to keep it real and let's get on with things as they are now. It may be that at some future time we may find ourselves in a position where they were all wrong and we were right. But for now we are in the third division and the best way to change that is by winning leagues. Surely we have had enough courtroom battles to fuel a couple of movies. I want football and the best that there is around. I don't want to claim success based upon winning sub-section A line 4 word 12 of the football constitution?
  4. Let's take a reality check. Rangers did not find themselves in the Scottish third division as a result of their performance on the field. It was because we broke the rules of the game. Sure we cannot expect to afford the biggest world names for players for now. But these players would make our situation worse and they may not live ,in a footballing sense, with the ground conditions in this league. Their silky footballing skills would be lost in the quagmyres we have yet to experience this winter. We all of us knew this when we found ourselves in the third division. But despite this our fan base has supported Rangers week in, week out. Why should this change for true Rangers fans if a result or two doesn't go our way? It won't. We all know that football has a funny way of biting you in the arse when you lose your focus for a moment. It will continually bite you in the arse if your focus is on your reputation as a player and not on the game at hand. But I have seen none of this in the lion hearted Rangers laddies who have shown the players tranferred in what the game's truly all about. No. Ranger fans have a chance to see football at it's best in the third division in following Rangers. The same will be true when we outplay the teams in the higher divisions when we get there. Have faith and follow Rangers.
  5. My pint is always half full and never half empty when I'm talking about Rangers. But we have to be realistic about how well we are doing now and at the same time setting realistic goals about how we are going to get to where we all want to be. Great teams can play very badly and still win matches. But they are great teams because they usually play with flair and with brilliance. It surely follows that bad teams can play well occasionally and still lose? This is a fantastic opportunity for Rangers to rip up and to distance ourselves from all the bad things Rangers have had to put up with. This is the time to create a strong club who can beat the best of opposition on the field. When we start to do that we can then start to look at attracting the best managers, coaching team, administrators, players , investors and so on. Until then it's down to us as fans to help in the creation of something special in our continued support for the current manager, coaching team, administrators, players and investors. They may not be the best there is but they are they best we have got for now. Please remember Coisty and his staff and present team, like the rest of us found ourselves in this mess through no fault of our own. I was thrilled with Coisty as a player and he did us proud at the right times, when the chips were down. He did us proud again by remaining with a former footballing giant who had been hacked to it's knees. He had no club for a time earlier this year as there was no club. Surely we owe it to this proud bear to give him a season or two as manager to bring the same magic to Rangers in the manager's seat that he brought to us on the field. Fergie had this and look at his success. Surely Coisty deserves this as one of our own.Super ally is the name we should be chanting again in the same way we did when he did so many marvellous things on the field? Am I alone here. Does Coisty deserve better than this. He was there for us time and time again when we needed him. He needs us now?
  6. I don't know if this is the worst ever result by Rangers. But it certainly feels like it. If we are serious about soaring high with the best in Europe then maybe we ought to get the basics right. This has to be the wake up call for everyone at Rangers. Whatever went wrong today. Whether it will be blamed on business off the park or new players bedding in or the wrong time, players , injury, day, snow.. or for whatever reason we should know that football is a leveller.Surely nobody, Especially not the manager and the training staff, expected the mighty Stirling Albion to turn over Rangers. For if they did then they should be asking questions about their commitment to the club and ultimately about their future at this club? Boy are we in serious trouble now. We, as fans, expected this when we played the European elite. When we gave them no more respect than they deserved we got the result. What's different in relation to the other clubs in the third division. Every week our opponents will be looking for our (not so huge) scalp in the same way we punched well above our weight in past years. Everything is equal for both teams on the pitch and I have to congratulate Stirling Albion for getting the result they so rightly deserved. They scored more goals than us. This wins the match and it's as simple as that. If Rangers management and players really thought they were better than this league then this result is what they deserved. Did they think they just had to turn up for the Rangers spectacular every week and enjoy the show? I suspect they did. Maybe they would be best served buying a ticket for the game like all other fans and enjoy the thrills and the spills of life in the third division from the stand. The team could be picked from spectators by lottery for the following week. At least you would get the players winning or losing having done their damnedest for this wonderful club and look at the savings on players and management fees? It's crisis meeting time. Not for the business of who owns or runs the club but for the day to day business of getting results week in, week out. If we can get this right every week we will deserve to be respected by our opponents. I have an optimistic view of our future as we build our club from the bottom up and giving our lion hearted youngsters the chance to gain the much yearned after experience for Scottish footballers. Our footballers, Rangers footballers, you understand who will go on to represent our country. Having been battle hardened by years of experience gained in the smaller grounds will likely go on to national success. Like the sounds of that, Rangers footballers, in the world cup. So do I? Time to begin by beating Queens Park and all of the rest of our opponents by a drubbing and let next year take care of itself.
