  1. I was just on http://www.rangersdirect.co.uk/umbro-rangers-home-shirt-2012-2013-long-sleeve-377489, can't seem to personalize a top. Anyone have a connection to official shirt numbers? Cheers!

    0 away wins this season. Changes have to be made. End of.
  3. Majority on here are a suspicious bunch of c**ts. Thumb me down if you like, but McCoist isn't up to the job. Don't care if he's a Rangers legend or not, he's not fit to run this club. Tactics are rubbish and there's no urgency. No away wins this season, losing out to QOTS ffs. Give your heads a shake.
  4. Can Scottish football survive without Rangers? With the announcement just over an hour ago that SPL clubs have voted "overwhelmingly" to bar Rangers from joining the top flight of Scottish football next season, a new chapter in this never ending nightmare begins. But what of the clubs who remain in the SPL, the clubs who voted against us, what is their fate? In November 2011 Sky sports and ESPN signed a 5 year £80m deal with the SPL to broadcast 30 matches each. The crown jewel in this deal of course was the Old Firm matches, the attendance of these almost 10 times as high as other league matches. Given the possible subtraction of Rangers from this equation, you would have to imagine that a large part of those broadcasting monies would be lost. Further to the point, the banning of Rangers from the SPL would also have a highly negative effect on the away support, since many of the leagues minnow clubs such as St. Mirren and Division One promoted Ross County barely have enough supporters to fill Tynecastle combined. While punishment may seem harsh for Rangers at this point, it is harsher in comparison to the league, it's players and to the fans especially. It's a far cry from the glory days that Scottish football might fondly remember. There are clearly 3 logical solutions to this problem, with the 4th likely to cause irreversible damage to both the league and to a club with 140 years of history. It is quite obvious that the sanctions placed on Rangers are to a harsher point than need be, which all but points to ulterior motives amongst the leagues higher ups. While the inclusion into the highest tier of Scottish football wasn't to be expected, the unanimous outcome of it's voters surely wasn't either. If it's as easy as Rangers turning their backs on the SPL as they've done to us, joining the 1st Division and regaining entry after a season or two, then that's what should be done. Both to the benefit of our club and to a league we've dominated and given name to for over a decade. Barring that result, the other options are far worse than losing club heroes like McGregor and Davis. A drop down to 2nd or 3rd Division, although not completely out of the question could be catastrophic for Scottish football and in turn to co-efficient, which is already wallowing at the 27th spot between Finland and Poland, a far cry from the week Scotland beat France both home and away to reach a high of 13. While we must admit the Scottish game has it's faults, that it's treading water tactics and head barely above water results are far below expectations, it is cause for relief that we are currently in the best possible situation to right the ship and develop our youngsters much in the way top clubs like Arsenal do. If we are indeed heading for rock bottom, then there is no other way to go for our storied club than up. We have the facilities and certainly the coaches to see that players like Kyle Hutton and Kal Naismith to mature into the footballing talents they truly can become. We will be at a greater advantage to move up the ranks, with a larger amount of supporters. United together in our love of football, we need to get behind the club at it's time of need and forgive the injustices against us. In truth we need to see past the fact that maybe we're not liked, that maybe a selection of our fans have done things in the past that weren't in the best interest of the club, that maybe there are reasons we were voted out. Because in order to move forward, we as a group need to let go of that part of the past that still haunts us. In truth, the SPL need us more than we need them and the reality of that truth will soon sink in to their skulls. And we must grow as a club with or without them in the interests of our own support and our own footballing future. Our very survival depends on it.
  5. I'll build bridges with Hamburg supporters and maybe Marseille and Arsenal, but those Numptys at Sporting Lisbon and Fiorentina can slag off.
  6. That photoshop effect is rank.
  7. Wouldn't be gourging of he'd seen the new Taig top for next season. Some tri colour flag fuck up, it's a real mess. I'd rather see Rangers play in Div 3 and not have to witness that monstrosity.
  8. Aye, they've both been poor. At least with Davis you'd think it would've eventually improved. Never had that feeling this season with Edu.
  9. Rubbish though, isn't he? Couldnae get a game in EPL if his life depended on it. Back to MLS I reckon.
  10. Just a rumor at this point. No official word from player or agent yet. Especially since we're not even in a league yet.
  11. This is really getting ridiculous. Can we not ban these cunts outright? Admin verification on registration? Allow only people with proper emails?
  12. When was the last time Rangers fielded a fully Scottish XI? Had to be mid to late 80's. Instead of bringing the youngsters through the ranks, we've invested in players like Sebo and Flo. Selling off players like Hutton and Boyd who in all honesty could've been Rangers legends. We've got an opportunity now to start fresh, put on the blinders to the Scum and the rest of the SPL, who lets be honest, are buggering up their own league standings to spite us. If there is a new chapter in Div 3, we've gota real opportunity to develop without the pressures of a Sky Sports deal breathing down our necks.
  13. Ffs, just when you think it's the worst it can get...
  14. Aye, if Whyte is involved, the players can leave. And who would blame them at that point? Not Shuggy
  15. Never liked him, tbh. Immature and very little skill. Not even Blue Square quality, so nbd.
  16. What a complete piss take. Not worth a second thought.
  17. Can't help but look at those two and think this is some sick joke the Scum are in on. Then I remember it'll take them another decade of SPL titles to equal Ranger's. Whatever league we end up in, we'll still have the last laugh on that.
  18. Reminds we that howler Shagger let in through the wickets in an OF match last season. He's definitely not the sharpest at times, sour grapes perhaps, but Neil Alexander was solid in the run to the Uefa final in 08 so bar bother.
  19. I never said they weren't legends. I'm merely asking why they've chosen now to kick up a fuss instead of stepping forward when the club was up for sale. I refuse to believe they're excellent businessmen based on being great coaches or players.
  20. Well that was my original question. Where we're these so called Rangers men when the clubbed was being put into administration? Why are they choosing now to save the club? Why not back in November when it was up for sale prior to Green putting in a bid? Why did they withdraw their bid when they were the preferred bidders? Something doesn't add up and the supporters should be asking these questions instead of following blindly. That's the sort of thing that got the club into this mess with both Whyte and Murray. Majority are so desperate to get things sorted, they can't be bothered to question the irregularities. We've been kept in the dark since the early 90's and I find it pretty hard to believe no one at Rangers or the SPL knew of this debt. We deserve answers. Honesty and transparency.
  21. With the exception of Jelavic, majority of players who have left Rangers have had their careers take a huge down turn. Boyd, Miller, Boughera, Cousin, Ferguson, Mendes... United were after McGregor a few seasons ago, now it's Fulham and Bolton. Best of luck with Blackburn or West Ham the season after...
  22. Pretty sure Bocanegra is off as well.
  23. Go on and give me thumbs down if you wish, but I'm disgusted with the way the football club I've supported for 30 years has been disgraced by these greedy cunts. I don't care who stays or who leaves, whether we're in Div 3 or whatever. I'm a Rangers supporter for life and I'll support the badge through thick and thin and I'd suggest the majority of you do the same. This in fighting is getting us no where. Calling supporters tattie munchers or bead rattlers or taigs is quite honestly as disruptive as anything else that's going on. Get in mates and support this club, cause its surely going to be a long bumpy ride, but we will emerge and we will be back to the top eventually.
  24. Where was Walter Smith when Rangers were being dragged through administration? Where was Laudrup when Whyte was selling off Arsenal stock gifted to Rangers for helping them out in their time of need? Where was Andy Goram when we were getting the boot by the SPL. If these men truly wanted to 'save Rangers', they should've stepped forward back in November when this was all coming to a boil. Why are they to be the saviors now? I back Green, at least he's taken initiative, unlike those so called legends who sat on their hands and let others clean up Murray's mess.
