Hope we sell out our first return to Killie to send out message that they treated us fairly and sympatheticly .I know they probably were looking after their own interests and needed our cash but that did'nt stop the other c**** putting the boot in and Hearts were up to their necks in lust to have us killed of so only pleasure in their demise from me unfortunately . By the way i've worked with a massive jambo for years who thought it was great that we'd be going to the bottom leagues to help finance the lower teams and shine a light on all the leages so i'm sure he'll appreciate the irony when i point that out to him when the axe finally falls on them.

Get this. He was once a Bear back in the 70's but I have him to thank for my love of The Rangers as he bought my first half season ticket in 82.
I remember us going to watch Hertz v the bheasts at Tyncastle and we were in the shed at the corner when Frank McGarvey came to take a corner. Still to this day I've never seen so many coins or missiles been thrown at a player. They hated them with a passion.
I was also at Alex MacDonalds testimonial at Tyncastle & remember both sets of fans singing the same songs together. Was a great night & Sandy Jardine played also along with Kevin Keegan if memory serves me right. Can't remember the score.
But I think the modern day jambos are a different breed to their forefathers who I'd like to think would have supported us if such an event happened to us back then. I for one was saddened at their response to our situation & can't forgive how they joined in with the bheasts. Hell mend them.

Their supporters even accused us of exploiting their financial situation by paying the lee wallace money early,so even if we try and assist them they still have a go therefore hearts and their supporters can go to hell as far as im concerned

Scottish football is already brutal enough without another of it's major clubs being brought to its knees.
I've always said i want them to stay a club, mainly because i have friends and their families playing for their first team and youth but they shouldn't be put through what we did because none of that was right.
The correct thing here imo would be for them to be ensured they remain a club and for the SFA to hold their hands up and admit they got it wrong with us and take the measures to amend our treatment (apologies, return of withheld funds etc.).
I accept it's far fetched but it's what should be done, we can't afford to have clubs ending up like this in Scotland, the games already on its arse without it.

Phone in shows have had their day, ruined by allowing idiots a platform to shout pish on the airwaves. No balance. particularly with the poor standard of "expertise" from the panels. The BBC have seen this coming and pulled most of the phone in content. However, cosgrove and cowan double headers is too much for this bear.

The only way Scottish football will succeed in the long term is if we can get rid of Rhegan,Dhoncaster, get pricks like Thompson,Liewell etc off the board.

thebluedoo - "Can somebody more in the know tell me if this is right, since the old company that owned our club has not yet been liquidated (despite numerous reports to the contrary) , I would think it would need to be BDO on behalf of the old company that would need to pursue any claims regarding the spl prise money."
The rights to the prize money were amongst the assets of the club when it was sold to CG. It was either extorted from us or put on offer by CG as part of the 5-way agreement. I think that most folk take it that the money was extorted as part of the deal to get our licence. However until we see the full details of the agreement and the minutes of the meeting/meetings where it was created we can never be totally sure one way or another.
As for Hearts I'd rather we were talking about the possible demise of c****c, Hibs, Dundee Utd or the sheep, but Hearts sided with them and put themselves in this situation. Who do I think will go next? Hibs, no derby or Rangers games to get them a big gate four times a season. Hearts fans are responsible for the possible sad end of a once honourable club.

Not for me , have a look at there main fans website kickback , you will soon change ur opinion , always was my second team , no longer

Well they could have done a guard of honour or not, I think it was respectful and good on them.

D Murray, Whyte, Green, Stockbridge, Ahmad - Laxey's. And others - we've had a stunning run of filthy suits prepared to milk our club and support for all it's worth. Some of them for more than it's worth - leading us to where we are today with loan-sharking duly secured against club properties.
And King never had a truer word to say than this: "Rangers has also developed an extremely un-Rangers like culture of "turning on its own".
This thread being a perfect example.

If we're talking sums of money here I think 20m outstrips 30 years of STs and all the associated costs.

you lack even the most basic if debating skills, being civil.Litterally one of the worst posters on RM.

Why is he in the Bears Den?
Some people can't help but obsess over their deluded concept of self importance. Who gives a fuck what your kind say?

Same.
I have a guy on my Facebook and his Dad's from Hong Kong, every Saturday without fail he's posting about looking forward to his 'chinky'
Someone actually commented 'Is that no supposed to be offensive to you mate?'
His reply of 'Shut up ya dick, that's what it is' said it all.
Having dealt with racist abuse it's quite easy to spot/feel what's offensive and what's not, unless you're looking to be offended.

Spot on top part.
But do we really think he is a stupid man? Is there not a barrow load of irony in this situation?
He said as CEO we can't sing illegal songs. Well, surprise surprise we can't. It's illegal. Then he comes forward and shows how stupid some laws are. And he is the stupid one?
Fat Sams Scotland will be far worse than litigation America. I don't agree with the law, and I slag off the welsh, English, Irish, Russian, Korean, Taiwanese, Canadians, italians, fucking anybody - to their face. And we all laugh together. It's with friends and colleagues.
I have never stood and used those same words with someone I don't know as an insult.
Fuck me. 22 pages of cream offendedness where those actually involved in the conversation don't mind. Reminds me of a different group of people really.
WATP

I have a good number of Asian friends, and have had for most of my life, and amongst my friends the only ones who would be insulted by the word "paki" are the ones of Indian descent.

22 pages,is this worth reading?

Nope.(can only speak for this hard-skinned Bear,tho)

One's illegal, as our fucked-up law stands............the other isn't.
Fairly straight forward?!

As I pointed out in an earlier post context IS everything and explains how a white male in Stoke found not guilty of racist abuse when calling a black friend n****r. . The term was used between friends as CF uses it with IA . Why telling the truth about conversations between friends is offensive is anyone's guess. As for Darkie Johnson I believe this was what he was called by everyone at the time it wasn't some random offensive name CG. used of his own volition.
The hysterical. reaction by some says far more about them than it does about Chases Green.

Oh get over it .

Fucking bang on!! We're a tender wee bunch

I have a mate who is off Asian stock and we call him paki and it doesn't bother him in the slightest in fact he offer says at the bar , "am I no getting served because I'm a paki " usually speeds things up

CG knows what he should and shouldn't be saying to the press. How does what he said affect Rangers, when this is his personal view and not that of the club?
Over the past week we've had:
- Craig Whyte trying to take the Club for £50m.
- The SPL hitting us with a 500k bill.
- The SFA hitting us with another bill.
- Rangers internet bloggers claiming we're skint and going in to Admin again.
- 62 complaints to the ASA
shouldn't we be more focused on the issues that are affecting Rangers.

I think many people are missing the point, we all know Charles is not being racist, Imran knows Charles is not being racist, but will the press report it as 'Charles and Imran are such good chums they can have a jolly good laugh together' or will they sensationalise it as 'Charles Green in racist Paki, Darkie rant' Come on now which of those two headlines do you see the rheble or the beeb using? It will be blown out of proportion and used to attack Rangers with and Charles should know that by now.
