Alex Miller “journalist”

Historically, Hubris was defined as “a personality quality of extreme or foolish pride, or dangerous overconfidence, often in combination with (or synonymous with) arrogance”.

In recent years, however, it’s been replaced with a series of sketches.

The first sees Sir David Murray with a speech bubble containing words like “fiver” and “tenner”. It then moves on to an image of a tall Norwegian man holding aloft a shirt with “FLO 22” on the back. 

These illustrations are all rendered in bright, vibrant colours. The palette grows gradually darker as a further 500 drawings reveal, among other things, the captain of the USA national team retrieving a ball from a hedge in Brechin, Charles Green reciting an unsettling Christmas message and an obscure trophy with the word “Petrofac” written on it.

You would think Rangers might be a bit more wary of the whole hubris thing by now. Perhaps they might even have learned a lesson of some kind. If you think that you’ve not been paying attention to Rangers in the 21st century.

In 2014 when Rangers began their first season in the Championship there was an assumption that in a year’s time they would be playing Premiership football. Within 90 minutes, however, they had been beaten by Hearts.

Within three months they had drawn twice with Alloa. Within 10 months the Bilel Mohsni Experience played its iconic Fir Park set. Within a year they were kicking off their second season in the Championship.

When they returned to the Premiership in 2016 the talk was of "going for 55". The assumption being the title could be won by a squad featuring Joey Barton and Philippe Senderos.

Surely now, as Rangers near the end of their third successive top-flight season without mounting a title challenge, they would consider approaching the 2019-20 campaign with a touch more humility. 

If that’s the plan, no one told Dave King.

While confirming a five per cent increase in the cost of season tickets earlier this month, the Rangers chairman declared his club to be “within tangible reach of becoming the dominant force in Scottish football again”.

In much the same way as Graeme Souness is within tangible reach of an invite to Paul Pogba’s Whatsapp group.

Kit manufacturer Hummel didn’t get the memo either. Their video launching next season’s Rangers kits was as cringeworthy as it gets.

Ludicrously bombastic score that would have the makers of Game of Thrones saying, ‘Take it down a notch lads?’ Check. Very Serious Voice quoting lines from a Rangers song? Check. Scott Arfield 
looking down then lifting his head to stare solemnly into the camera with all the gravitas of Screech from Saved by the Bell? Check. 

Hummel said: “The 19-20 @RangersFC home kit by Hummel is dedicated to the followers of Rangers FC who are more loyal and passionate than most. That’s why we have integrated a line from the popular Rangers FC fan song ‘Follow Follow’ as a part of the jersey design. I know what you’re wondering. I wondered it too. It turns out the line they’ve chosen to integrate is “We will follow Rangers”. I guess whoever suggested the line from “Follow Follow” about the Pope and the Vatican got shouted down in the Hummel office. Either that or there was some kind of copyright issue.

This is just one of many questions that arise during the video’s 72 seconds. Another is “What level of irony is the narrator operating on when he says ‘celtic know ALL about their troubles’ in reference to the club who are set to comfortably win their eighth league title in a row?”.

They rounded things off with the hashtag “#sharethegame”, a classic example of the sports advertising trope wherein some words are chucked together that suggest drama, dynamism and teamwork but actually mean the square root of f*** all.

He's almost done a Sevco there, not quite, but almost. Shitebag.

When you see cunts like this getting that level of frothy about Dave King and a kit launch while they are still the dominant force it's actually quite delightful to think that 55 will literally end it for some of them. Mongos man.

Ha who the fuck is the spunk gurglin abuse victim 😂 I can smell the fear and its getting more potent.

Never read the article, but I'm assuming it's just another negative story about Rangers, written by a journalist looking for clicks and getting the attention he craves from gullible Rangers fans.

Exactly.

Alex Miller may not have been our best ever player but he hardly needs to be mistaken for this tool of a journalist 😀

[harlands plater 16,958]

Never heard of him, and I doubt we’ll be hearing from him this time next year.

Who employs this particular spunk bubble.

[rangersross 6,530]

Awful writing. 

[The Dude 20,026]

It's the guy who does OldFirmFacts on Twitter and is intended to be satirical.

[Smile 26,600]

What a load of drivel whatever happened to standards in journalism.

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

There’s a guy that is constantly looking over his shoulder. The fear is reeking off him.

He missed the Satire course at Uni then.

The taigs are getting nervous.

We apppear to have money. They are apoplectic about it. We have already signed new players for the new season, they haven't. They haven't even a new manager for next season. Where and what is their plan? The paedo followers are getting nervous.

Gerrard appears to set his sights high. They can't stand the fact that we have him. He makes them nervous.

Morelos is the best player in the game in this backwater. This fills them with more hate and he makes them nervous.

Our team are having a good finish to the season, as they stumble over the line. They're getting nervous.

They're noticing we aren't dead and are indeed closing that gap. How can that be? We are alive and kicking and that fact is causing confusion and consternation amongst their ranks as we should be dead. That makes them the most nervous of all.

A mixture of taig and nervousness is a toxic cocktail. The spine weakens as the mind cannot cope with the reality that their boogeyman is coming to get them.

You can't kill the boogeyman, but it will kill you!

Hatred plus fear = an Adam Miller inbred rant.

Read it. Its one of the worst I have ever read from a "real" news outlet. You would think it had been written on a child abuse forum. 

[Sparkle 53,527]

That’s got pure hatred dripping from every word.

He needs therapy 

[KeyserSoze 14,520]

Bog roll for the eyes 

 

 

 

[dee9 3,972]

And this is what they are like after almost 8 in a row and on the verge of a treble treble.

I can remember when we were absolutely dominating they cunts.....I honestly couldn't have given one fuck about them.

Revenge is sweet

[TEFTONG 60,070]

If that is his attempt at satire I wouldn't be looking to read an opinion piece by this shite scared taig toerag.

[BLUEDIGNITY 33,638]

I blame their skools !

Don't know but the wording of the title made me think of ex-Ranger Alex Miller, the author is Alan not Alex.

This is unfortunately true and not in any way over exaggerated. A sizeable section of their support have this tangible unhealthy ‘in bred’ hatred of all things Rangers. I include so called educated people in this category who you would think would understand rivalry for what it is, but border on the obsession and tip the balance of wishing harm on ourselves more than enjoying their own club and it’s current (and hopefully soon to end) domination...
