    Official: Boyd signs one year deal

    in Jimmy Bell's Kitroom

    Posted

    Another fuckin bollocks signing, if it happens, by our clueless manager. Another example of his lack of vision, his inability to build a team and a waste of a third season in a row.

    As for Boyd coming home, fuckin pish. Really went on to bigger and better things when he fucked off before.

    Fuckin living in the past. Who we going to sign for the top flight? Albertz? Gio Van B? Barry Ferguson?

    Manticore - A tribute

    Didn't really know how or what to write here, so please bear with me.

    Today is a really sad day for me,ive been up to my eyeballs at work, and havent had time to even glance at my beloved RangersMedia until today.I actually feel ashamed of myself that i only found out today, that one of my inspirations on this board has passed away.

    Its not something that i can just put in a couple of sentences, nor would i wish to,Manti meant so much more to me than that, even though i only read his words and arguments on here, i never met the man, but im sure at some point in our travels following the Gers, we have been in the same place , at the same time,maybe even having a beer , burger or a chat together, maybe not, but i know my life would be so much richer had it been so.

    Me? i write off the cuff, moments of madness, moments of kestrel super, nights spent after monumental amounts of banned substances, getting tore right into the tarriers,thats just me, seat of my pants all the time , every time, easy for others to shoot at, but most of those doing the shooting are much the same as myself.

    But there are exceptions to that.

    Manticore was one of a select band.

    I love the fact we can call each others posts pure shite , and pish , and yer talking out yer arse, love it.

    But the select band of posters have something totally different.I wouldnt even begin to try to elevate myself to their level of knowledge, writing skills that come from a wealth of experience of just being learned in most things they argue and debate about on here.

    Manticore, D'Artagnan, Minstral,Dummiesoot, Harlands Plater,Edmiston Drive, Moody Blue Legend,Cstamousa,Ozblue are just a few of the people who i could read all day long.How can you disagree with any of them ,especially on their views on the team on the park , or our support off it, when they have seen The Rangers at their greatest.

    It actually makes me proud that these people post on here,it makes RM carry serious Kudos in my view anyway.It makes ranting bastards like me take a look at themselves occasionally.

    I first joined RM in 2006,first posts i knowingly read were that of Minstral, D'Art and Manti, such was the weight that there posts carried, that i never wanted to be on any other board, flirted with FF for a while but that is a totally different breed over there, so fuck that.

    I found myself welling up tonight, a few tears shed, when i found of Manti's passing, hope that isnt deemed soft by you lot.

    Manti supported some of my posts a lot, even if he disagreed, just because he knew they were from the heart,i think he respected that sort of heartfelt stuff from us more because they were a true testament to how we felt at that moment in time.That is a measure of a man in itself.

    I look at my wee photo with my son Billy and Colin Stein and Willie Johnston,proudest day that was for me, my dads idols.my son has framed it, even though he has only seen their brilliance on dvd, i only witnessed Bud in his second spell.Only once in my 37 years of following The Sons Of William(first game as a 5yo in 77)have i had the honour to stand and have a conversation with legends of our club such as these.

    I bet Manti has set them straight on more than 10 occasions.

    I loved Mister C| saying that when he was in hospital, that he had all his books with him, cos that is how i imagined our learned friend lived his life,knowledge not chance,winning debate, no argument, fact over doubt.Fuckin love people like that, especially Bears.

    Guess what im trying to say is that, Derek,if i may call you by your real name, you will be sorely missed by Big Rab Wilson.And RM has lost a real legend, a stalwart

    Thanks for being one of The People.

    If any of your family are reading this, i am really sorry for your loss.

    Dont really know what else to say without sounding like a numpty.

    Rest In Peace Derek

    Gonnae fuckin miss ye man.

    No Suyrrender

    Rab

    Outstanding post Rab. From the heart man.

    Very Sad News

    It was WVB who broke the news to me ECB. I deliberated about the appropriateness of posting anything in the event it may cause some upset, perhaps to family.

    However there is a thread on another forum so it seems to be in the public domain.

    I laugh when I think back to those old days - Myself, Minstral, WVB Manti and others constantly arguing with that Bauba guy - and admin at that time refusing to accept he was an interloper.

    Eventually the roaster outed himself during the Scottish Cup Final against QOS much to our amusement and a massive "Told you so ! " to admin.

    Sleep well brother.

    Aye, I remember those times well. Bauba and Patrese, pair of clowns.

    Still can't believe it bro.

    I hope you all remember

    There will be no revenge. No getting our own back. They will continue to laugh and sneer at us for years to come.

    As a club we are leaderless

    As a support we are a divided bickering joke.

    Nothing will change in our club, the support or the opposition. You're only kidding yourself on if you think we will wreak our revenge in years to come.

    We couldn't even boycott those United cunts at their own ground FFS.

    You're probably right mate. Nice to dream though!
