Davie Mr Magic Cooper

No it’s not a clickbait title- for once!  
 
So after 6 years of fundraising, I’ve finally decided that it’s finally time for me to finally hang up my gloves, and finally start to draw the curtain down on my overly-long involvement in what was actually only supposed to be a one-off fundraiser.   There are lots of random, unrelated and non-controversial reasons behind my decision, the main one being health-related, so that’s the end of that discussion! 
I’m sure many of you will be delighted at the news of my retirement, because let’s face it, I’m an annoying cunt, even on a good day.
What I don’t want to do though, is leave either Erskine or the many Loyal Fund Members suddenly in the lurch, so I have hopefully come up with a workable exit strategy…
We have already just recently paid £2500 for 10 Erskine & Combat Stress Season tickets renewals  for the coming season, and we still have a few hundred quid left in the bank to cover Europa and Cup tickets for the next couple of months, plus our previously promised donation to Bravehound, so we’re good for a while. 
We will shortly launch the RM Erskine Fund 2019/20 New Season Membership/Donations thread just as we had planned to do.  But this time, it will run only for about one month, giving any members who wish to continue their support into next season an opportunity to do so. After which, we will stop accepting donations into the current Fund account. 
The money raised from that fundraiser, added to the money that we already hold in reserve, should mean that we will have enough money to maintain our spending for the rest of this season (albeit on a reduced budget), and also still hold enough money in reserve to pay for next season’s season tickets, which will be approx £2500 and will be due in May 2020, which means we will be providing continued support using just our existing (plus next month's) resources, until May 2021, which I think is not a bad exit strategy. 
Of course, that’s using just our existing (plus next month’s) resources.  After I end my fundraising involvement, it doesn't mean that other Members can’t keep things going in all sorts of ways – it just means donations won’t go through my bank account, so you’ll need to work something out yourselves for that side of things.  (off the top of my head, I can think of loads of options, so it shouldn't be too hard to come up with some fully workable ideas).  I will of course be fully available to the Fund in an offline advisory capacity for as long as my input is needed.
So may I take this opportunity to thank Everyone who has so wholeheartedly supported our efforts over those many years.  I only made the outlandish demands I made, because I knew there were People like you there to meet them. And together, I think we made enough of a difference for it to have been ultimately worthwhile. 
 
So there you go – that’s the plan.  Keep your eye out for the season 19/20 Membership Fundraiser thread which will be along soon, and let’s make it a good one. 
Oh and don't forget, you've got a Dug to feed too!  

9-1  oooft!
 
Well done to the young guns and everyone associated with youth development.
 
Thanks for the update too Elfideldo.As always mate.

We seem to have a lot of cracking young players in the academy. Looking bright for the future 👍

Report on this morning's game against Huddersfield Town
https://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2019/07/12/18s-stroll-past-huddersfield-town/

Didn't know a thing about this boy but he looks like and plays like a fucking tank, strong, aggressive and seemingly an excellent finisher, was expecting another lightweight not up to the challenge but the lad is impressing me so far. 

PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY MATCHES:
Rangers v Oxford United | Sunday July 7
Rangers v Olympique Marseille | Sunday July 14
Rangers v Blackburn Rovers | Sunday July 21
🗒️ Full Information: https://rng.rs/2HYE6KY
 
Rumours of away v Derby Sun 28th July, but unconfirmed by club.
Appreciate there is another similar thread, but 8 pages of much speculation to find actual dates.

Is that it??
I'd have been fucking raging with Murty after that Taig game as well, and was!
And that's what you want him hounded for ffs. 
Place is mad, full of nutters!

It may only be a 'little thing' but it's a great gesture by the club. 
I wish the young lad well and I'm sorry for the loss to him, family and friends.

A few weeks ago a close mate of mines @Mr Sopranouncle passed away suddenly and this left a young boy without a father.
Rangers have found out about this and have issued him with an invite to be their special guest on a tour of the stadium with no cost. Ryan Jack has also hand signed the letter and from.what I hear when these things have been done in the past the player will be there to meet the person they've invited. 
So for that young boy that will be immense meeting one of our arguably best and most consistent performers who also scored a winner v them.
It's not much and won't take the boys pain away but what a gesture and when I was shown the letter then hand signed non generic print signature actually give it a pretty sincere feeling.
We get slaughtered for a lot of things but for me that was a pretty moving thing to do for a young boy who'll be feeling pretty lost just now.
Well done The Rangers 🇬🇧
 

Enjoy
 
 

Dapo, Middleton, McPake and Kennedy came on Dapo scored 2 with Middleton and McPake scoring the others. 

Staunch as fuck!

That'll explain a lot then. The times he's cut in from the wing in the first team he's been decent in his attempts at goal when we're not trying to walk the ball in. Maybe his form in the more central position will give SG options. 

Looks a player when he’s getting the ball central skipping past a player and hitting the target.
That first one against Hibs curling it into the top corner was a thing of beauty, another player that you could put on the list for that No 10 role. 

I saw that too I’m wondering if he’s been shifted into the reserves to learn this role properly and play there in the first team. 

I watch the highlights on RTV and going by them he appears to play far more central in the reserves, and a far better player for it.

This Country is fucking rhancid with these bheasts having the narrative set in the favour . Every other week now
No matter how their players or fans behave
I would say jokingly  the games a bogie but then I think to myself . It really fucking is

Rangers has become first UK club to provide artificial intelligence solution for blind and visually impaired fans to help them get closer to the action.
A new artificial intelligence solution which can read text, as well as recognise faces and products, is now available to blind and visually impaired fans.
The club has purchased the OrCam MyEye 2 device to help anyone who has difficulty reading printed text, on match days and during stadium tours.
Rangers Health Safety & Access Manager Liz Kay said: “We have become the first club across all the professional leagues in the UK to purchase the OrCam device which is a ground-breaking move.
"The impact it will have on our fans is immeasurable and it makes areas of the club, like stadium tours, inclusive to all. We are excited to put it into use now.”

There will be some on here who will agree wi Lennon,sometimes I wonder if they're on the right forum???
