  1. Knowing our luck they're likely going to turn out to be just shit!!!?
  2. I thought it was Colin Bomber Jackson that folk were meaning, until I seen the photo. Bomber's bald!
  3. I thought that PR7 was the first three digits of a Preston post code. celtic thieving again? Is there nothing they won't pinch, that isn't screwed down?
  4. Didn't that other team from Glasgow not rent Murrayfield for a CL qualifier in 2014, when Glasgow was hosting the Commonwealth Games? I'm sure that the polis never limited the attendance then, as the whole point of them playing there, was to get as many punters in as possible.
  5. Don't the clubs have to pay the police for their attendance? I seem to recall clubs bitching about it, because the police decided themselves how many police clubs would be billed for. Some clubs were being billed for police that weren't there, allegedly.
  6. The games against the sheep, and the taigs, will show if we've improved or not. There are times during a game when I'm thinking that we're not that for off. Yet there are more times, during the same game, I'm thinking that we're no further forward from last season. At least we're not consistently bad all the time, a bit better finishing, and cooler heads defending, and we'd be in a better position.
  7. He did that right where we were. My brother used to put me on the wall at the front, then go back and stand with his mates further back. He would come down to collect me at the end of the game. I never realised how big a game that was, in our history, at the time, now thinking back I can't believe how we actually beat them. They had a team full of world class players, and I still expected us to win. I remember my mother saying afterwards that I was the only one that thought we'd win that night. I was the youngest, and maybe that had more to do with it than anything else. Blind faith??
  8. I remember when there used to be the old Reserve League, and we'd be playing the same team, as the 1st team were, but at opposite grounds. Some reserve games at Ibrox, where they only opened the enclosure, and main stand, as it was then, could be pretty packed out, especially the enclosure, which was a lot cheaper. (The main stand could've been empty for all I know, as I always went to the enclosure.) I was living in Edinburgh, a good while back, and the reserves were playing Hearts at Tynecastle. I decided to go to the game, as I'd been working until lunchtime, and might not have made it through to Ibrox on time. It was the same there, enclosure, and main stand open, and it was pretty full. There were quite a few Rangers fans at the game, and when we scored early on, there were cheering from different sections. As the 2nd half got underway, you could move from one side of the enclosure to the next, and I decided to move as it was all old Hearts fans about me. When I moved I was quite surprised at the amount of Rangers fans at the game. There was enough for a few of the traditional songs to get sung, and when the team scored again, it felt better cheering them amongst our own. I used to go to a few reserve games, when the 1st team games were called off, and remember being at Ibrox against the taigs( we weren't playing them til the Sunday) The place was packed, but it was still just the enclosure and main stand open. It was a good day out, and usually cheap as well. I wonder why they changed it all? I moved too far away to go to any reserve games later, but if I still lived in the central belt, I'd go along to some of the 'Wee' team games, if I couldn't get to the 'Big' team game for any reason.??
  9. I went to a league cup game at Forfar, and I'm pretty sure the tickets were £20, and a local Bear told me that they usually charge £10-£15 to get in to see a league game. That Was Not Cheaper ? ?
  10. Will this not be our first EVER, away game in the cup, according to some people, so how do you know it's cheaper for away fans? Even if it usually is cheaper, clubs always want to charge us full whack, because they know we'll turn up, and pay it anyway.
  11. What did she mean " Just as bad as them?"
  12. I've heard that he's a bluenose from a few people. Officials that support Rangers usually go the extra yard to prove they're not favouring us. Yet referees of a different team don't always, think, and do the same, so I've noticed over the years.. ???
  13. Ross County captain should've been sent off. His elbow on Miller could've been a straight red. Then he deliberately handles the ball, and referee Thomson awards the free kick, but no yellow card? Why was Sutton not hounding the referee for that? Or is it just when it's Rangers players,he deems should be red carded, he hounds the ref for?
  14. It used to get sung regularly to oppose walk on against the taigs in the 1970's. I think that when Ibrox went all seated it seemed to end a lot of singing. It was a great sight, seeing fans with their scarves held up singing it loud and proud. ??
  15. He shouldn't be in the same building as Mayweather , never mind the same ring. I will be glad when this shit is over!!
  16. My auld granny used to tell me that... Sticks and stones may break my bones. But names will never hurt me. Get down and grunt ya fenian cunt!! ??
  17. Every time we lose an important game, I'm always done with it. I've been like that since the 1970's when I first started going to games regularly.
  18. Me and my bro did it about 20 years ago and they never really had an official tour at the time. But my bro had been looking at hospitality for customers from work, and they just got this young boy to show us around. We were trying to act all cool, in front of the boy, but my heart was racing, it was like walking through a dream. I remember saying that we needed our shades on in the trophy room, there was that much sparkling silver. I nearly pished myself with excitement, as we walked up the tunnel out onto the pitch. Although we weren't actually allowed to go onto the pitch, we got our photo taken right there though. My brother still has it in his cabinet to this day.
  19. I don't think that they'll drop points in their games. Who's going to draw with them? Hamilton Accies? St. Johnstone at home? We need to concentrate on winning our games, forget about them, until we're due to play them. We can beat them, we just need a wee bit of luck. We've got the international break coming up, I fucking hate that, maybe some of their players will get injured playing for their country. I hate watching Scotland play because there's too many of those cunts playing for us. It's not easy cheering on the likes of Brown, every time he goes in for a tackle I hope he gets injured.
  20. My daughter has a bad habit of picking taigs as boyfriends. She's talking about moving in with the current taig, although he's not too bothered about the football now. The important thing to remember is,when they have kids, make sure that you get them supporting the right team. My sister in law, used to be a big Hearts fan, before she married my brother, but me and my brother made sure that all four kids supported Rangers, even she does now.
  21. Those kind of jobs, paying good money are hard to find, Rangers will always be down Ibrox way for you, whenever you get the time off to visit. You just need to think what's worse, can't get to a game because of work, or can't get to a game because you've no work?
  22. That was probably why they were fighting. I couldn't remember why exactly. You've got a better memory than me. Although it could just be an age thing? I remember reading Tommy Burns saying that he'd went into church to give thanks that we never got ten in a row, fenian bastard that he was. IMHO!
