Understatement of the year Worst player to play for us in my lifetime - and I lived through the early to mid 80s So you are saying Karl Svensson was a better player than Marvin FFS On every day of the week inc Sundays - Svensson wasn't great but night and day compared to Andrews - Andrews gave effort, but was just so much out of his depth that it was almost sad to watch

Understatement of the year Worst player to play for us in my lifetime - and I lived through the early to mid 80s What a stupid and pointless comment - no doubt just looking for people to rise to it. Sorry mate, Andrews was an embarrassment - surel head the ball - bad had no ability, no pace, no lateral movement and was a liability every time teams came at us on the deck. Raith Rovers is his level, end of

I never said it was Sherlock. I asked what was the difference was between a line saying 'crushing rebelious Scots' and 'send them homewards to think again' Both are lines from past troubles, the one Steely Gers was bemoaning were dropped from the song over 300 years a go Both are from past troubles? Wow, thats some understatement - the whole country invaded and fighting for its freedom and very existence Yeah, you could call that trouble I suppose

Racist - 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. 2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination. 3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races. So with that in mind - what is racist about Flower of Scotland?

my style of football would be attacking. 2-3-5 with inside forwards?

Nice to see them doing well - at least they can say they had bayern beat at half time Of course, it wont last.......

ok we pay a 4-2-3-1 formation McGregor in goals Flat back 4 Whittaker Weir Cuellar and Pappy Ferguson and Thomson in center midfield (hemdani and Davis cover) Then attacking midfield 3 Burke Buffel Naismith (Gow and Adam as cover) And Darche up front (Boyd as cover) Strength of the team would be the 3 AMs - Darches strong off the ball running would leave ample room for those 3 to exploit

huh? Howdya work that one out? I have to agree that the original post has to be the blondest post on here all week

Are the police or the Rangers match commander supposed to read the irish press and know this? Surely you would agree that if there is a banner where the wording can be construed both ways then they have to act? Or maybe they should just trust the fans explanation every time Can you imagine "Sure boss, the banner says Feck the pope - but it was in a magazine article so its ok right?"

As I said already, "they" are those who choose to criticize us every day in the media. "They" have been known to be Catholic, Asian and even Protestant. bringing religion into it shows you - no matter how much you deny it - that you are nothing short of being a racist and a bigot. yeah right Im not the one making an issue out of a banner that is alleged to have loyalist wording Im the one on the side of the club Racist and Bigot - grow up sonny

Why do you have to categorise it like that? Can I not choose those who keep criticising our club for absolute fuck all? Or is it the case that you want me to say Catholics? You can do whatever you like Leiper but when you make statements like "It's been said so many times now...We give them an inch, they ask for a mile." then it makes me wonder who exactly "they" really are

Yeah it is your fault lol To be fair...I did give you your platform to rant Ok, I take that back Thank you!

WE are Rangers - Super Rangers, No one likes us, we dont care ..... except you do care, but your 'caring' is (IMHO) coming across as pretty close to paranoia - "Witch hunts"; "orchestrated campaigns"; "we ARE being treated differently"; "Why are we not judged like others".... I am sorry but I disagree with your view point (Now Winston Churchilll did have a great turn of phrase that says 'Just because I am paranoid does not mean the bastards are NOT out to get me) but the best way of attacking any bias, real or imaginary is from a position of strength and to be in a position of strength we have to have no (or extremely few) faults of our own. We are NOT yet in that position and sometimes (which I also find hard to do) dignified silence is the best way forward. Rangers keeping quiet is NOT an unreasnoble tactic, it may be one some posters disagree with but I for one think we need to get our own house in order because when accused saying "They do it" will NOT act as a defense. It's been said so many times now...We give them an inch, they ask for a mile. Keep pretending to yourself that we still need to get our own house in order. Who exactly are "they" If you don't know then may i suggest you take your head from the sand and look around the newspapers, television and other media outlets on a daily basis to find the answer? What I mean is it the whole world, catholics, celtic supporters, women, Tesco employees, Catholics or who exactly?

Yeah it is your fault lol

Yes, i would agree with that to some degree - I think there will always be exception where we need to make a stand, but in general - I agree with your point

That's quite low too. Certainly not to the standard of the ironically named BLUEDIGNITY, of course. But certainly to the standard i would expect from one or two regular posters Thats why I normally just ignore their childish comments no bauba i hope i am in the 1 or 2 posters but you forget generation of fans supported this club and helped put it where we are today and would fight for our club and support, and would not have accepted this crap about banners and there would have been mass demos until we won the fight. you are allowed any culture unless its protestant, and the earls like nothing better than having power to tell us what we cant do, from uefa, the police glasgow council, the media all full of earls who would love our club to be crushed into dust. Minstral - your comments are never childish I respect your love for the club - we disagree on a lot, but you never resort to personal stuff and I respect that at least

In 2 minds firstly, its a European match and its a Rangers match and I want us to win every game But secondly, its not Champions league and its a bit underwhelming - plus, I wouldnt be heartbroken if we lost and it enabled us to concentrate on winning the league So betwixt and between really

No, firstly you 'applauded the club' which suggests you back their judgement. You then went on to suggest the DLRSC shouldn't make an issue of it - just enjoy the football. Finally, you suggested if people were unhappy with the club's judgement they should follow another club. Given you now won't argue my various points against your comments and the club's judgement, you seemed confused about what you really think about the issue. Actually the point about them enjoying the football was tongue in cheek, more than a hint of sarcasm with that - sorry you missed that You are right, I did applaud the club for their actions - because it shows they are looking out for us, simple as - again, and ive been consistent with this, I think everyone can win out of this if it is handled correctly. its not difficult to understand. I really dont think this is a black and white issue here

You do it all the time, true you only gave me prior warning once but im not daft, you love playing devils advocate. What the hell is "the Irish question?" Ill answer you when you start talking sense and stop your accusatory tone

Sometimes one should put our own self-interest ahead of external factors. This is one such time. And we should have used to it to our advantage by showing solidarity with the fans and giving out the message that Rangers FC won't be taken for mugs. We didn't. The joke is on us. Not arguing your point - all I said was that I understood why the club took the action it did

What positive spin/PR? All I see is hundreds (if not thousands) of extremely annoyed and supporters. For the last time, no-one is suggesting the club is right to address our profile, modernise and improve. We have done that along with the help of the fans who have been magnificent this season. Then, given a chance to finally say, "wait a minute Mr Offended P o'Liceman, you're talking nonsense, our supporters are merely expressing some banter"; they bottle again. Again. It's unacceptable. The positive spin is with UEFA, the SFA or any outside governing bodies Frankie Again, not saying that this is right - but that I understand the reasoning behind it
