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?

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.

Comes down to Police resources i'm afraid.
Imagine 25-30,000 bears attending the game. How many extra policemen/women would have to be deployed and the extra financial costs involved. Police Scotland are cutting back on overtime and will take every opportunity to save any amount of money, however small that may be.
Don't agree but that's how it is today.
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.

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.

Still keep trying to find my face in the crowd at the Broomloan end! Only started to believe we were safe when Bud sat on the ball ...
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??

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.??

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.

"So, since the Hivs debacle when we were clearly cheated (no one will ever convince me it was anything less than blatant biased cheating), let's look at some other 'honest"
Would you be convinced if i guaranteed you Beaton is a bluenose.
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.. ???

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?

For older than me bears, when did we stop singing derrys grace? I'd love to hear a full ibrox sing it, I've been going since 85 and never heard it.
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. ??

He shouldn't be in the same building as Mayweather , never mind the same ring.

If we don't win this one then that's fuckin it. I'm done!
But I know I won't be. I'll keep hoping Pedro turns it around and gets his head out his arse. I'll keep going to the games. And I'll be posting the same old Millers not a fuckin midfielder posts.
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.

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.

Few of the lads around me said we needed to win all our games before the filth arrive to have a chance of getting our title back but I disagreed. I just wanted to be close enough to have a chance to go top once we turn them over at Ibrox which would start them flapping like fuck. Looking at the games gone and the fixtures ahead, when looking at the first six games I thought we'd be on a maximum of 14 points. Four wins, two draws. We're three games in and now have County away, Dundee at home then Thistle away. Three winnable games if we dig in then we're on 13 points. The fenians have got St. Johnstone at home, Accies away then County at home. I suspect they'll drop two points at least over they three games. So for all the gloom and doom mongers in our midst, three winnable games for us, couple of iffy games for that mhob to drop two points then it's game on at the palace. Of course we need to win our three matches. Cmon the gers.
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.

The thing is that I know it's short term, probably going to be between November and December now, but it does my nut in, good thing has come out of it though, auld boy is absolutely buzzing going back again and taking his granddaughters while I'm away, he's joining the bus and getting a season ticket when my job finishes, ?
Every cloud has a silver lining. ?

What can you do about this? I've known of this more than a few times and, in the end, it works out. Rough and rocky at the start though with lots of discomfort and unease. Recall one example from Renfrew (right Rangers royal burgh so it is) when the father refused to attend the wedding. Irony is that his daughter-in-law ended taking good care of him after he had a real bad stroke. Don't think that the son ever forgave his father and both grandchildren turned out to be fans of the other side.
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.

On a shite rotation at work just now, 3 weeks of twelve hr shifts and a week off, starting to struggle with it, used to going to watch the bears and getting mwi, missing my girls and generally hate it , fucking shit hot money though and not likely to earn the same again anywhere else, stick it out till Christmas or chuck it in 3 weeks? Gaffers are all fenian bastards as well, OT tell me what to do. FTP
Rangers Media advise
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?

Strange argument to have considering he said in the October of the failed ten season that he was leaving at the end of it? personally and it's just my opinion Walter cost us ten in a row by telling everyone he was going and then selling Gascoigne half-way through the season. It was a season of fuck-up after fuck-up.
Some of his tactics and team selections were questionable too aswell as being too loyal to players whom it was one season too far for. You could tell that in the first 8-weeks of that season.
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!
