Christ, remember the night when Lovenkrands scored that fuckin scorcher against Stuttgart when we beat them 2-1 at Ibrox?I was in the Govan Front next to the Germans and i thought Ibrox was going to lift off when we started belting it out, i couldn't speak for a week, my throat was bleeding for days, and there have been loads, hundreds of other times as good, if not better than that night. My all time favourite though has to be Inter at Ibrox in 84? Was only my 2nd european game at ibrox cos i moved to germany in 82, there were only about 32000 there, but the boys on the park were superb and nearly pulled it off, but the noise!!! Fuck sake, it was like there were half a million belting it out to me as a 12 yo. Fuckin magic. as i say, anybody who doesn't miss doesn't know what they are talking about. No Surrender Rab

Actually seen in the blue all the time: '70's- '80- Alex MacDonald 80's-'90- Davie Cooper, Super Ally,Wee Durrant(my hero pre injury) 90-00- Wee Durrant( for me an even better player, although different style post injury,my all time hero), Jorg Albertz, Super Ally, Big Mark and Bomber Brown.And Ian"billy boy" Ferguson. 00-present- Barry,Mols, Wee Novo, Dado,Big Marvin,Lafferty and Broadfoot( don't ask me why, just love him and feel better when he is in the team. Too many i know, but to choose is fuckin impossible,even if somebody was holding a gun to my head saying only 3 or you die. No Surrender Rab

fuckin right we will, on the pitch and in the stands.Fuckin intae them Rangers! No Surrender Rab

fuckin hell, remember that game as well.The Billy Boys is really sorely missed by this bear, it has been the sole blame for a bleeding throatand not being able to speak for days,as i try to get ht Hullo out from the bottom of my soul at the loudest possible decibels i can muster, and everybody else doing the same, and i also believe the players miss us belting it out, as that song could not ever fail to get them going when the whole stadium, or the whole Rangers end away were singing. Anybody who says otherwise is either an eejit or a taig. TWB, i would expect nothing less from you, you don't seem to like the rangers support one bit No Surrender Rab

To be honest, when i read the title i thought you would slug it out with your mate for a ticket to see the bears, i understand this emotion totally! ha ha ha.But it is great to see the wee yins breaking through,and genuinely showing they are good enough to hold their own.Great stuff No Surrender Rab

Terrible days for a bear like ma da during greig's reign, who had witnessed trebles, moscow dynamo, the 63-64 team, kai johannsen's winner in 66,but even then ma mum use to say he came home moaning like fuck! ha ha ha.It must have been almost unbearable for him to watch. But fuck me i loved it, just to say i was there every week, if truth be known,it was more about spending time with ma da to me, watching our team and going mental with ma uncle and cousin when we scored, than it was whether we won or lost.FUCKIN HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE.And it's all because of Rangers. That is why i love them so. Listen mate, i don't get there much either anymore,Been working overtime for weeks saving up to bring my boys up for the Hearts game at Ibrox. We get up about 8 times a season, so we make sure we give it everything while we are there. Fuck me, we get there in time to watch the boys put their stalls out selling scarves , flags ,patches and fanzines.We make it an event, cos we never know when the next time will be. some people are so lucky to go every week. Take it easy man. No Surrender Rab

Ibrox had such attendances every week when i was a wee boy in the really early 80's.the team was terrible apart from Davie Cooper, Bobby Russell and John MacDonald. At least we had Coop. Tell you what though mate,a nuclear bomb would not have kept me and my dad from Ibrox for any game, no matter how many times my old man said he would never be back, he always, we were always,back for the next one, with fresh hope, then cappielow, firhill, tynecastle, easter rd , pittodrie and the piggery, or anywhere else we couldn't get a result at the time.That's what i was brought up to believe a real bear did, and after well over a thousand games later, my mind hasn't changed. Living down south working 16 hours a day, i don't make it all the time now, but i would have cut my cock off to be in the OP's place last night. Hope him and the othe 11500 diehards who turned out last night get the sellick game tickets first. They should. well done that man. No Surrender Rab

Were you the lonely bear sitting in the Broomloan behind the goal with no mates?

What the fuck is that supposed to mean ya sad muppet? Christ almighty, i wasn't trying to be funny, i was being deadly serious.I have never , ever in my life come across a bear with views the same as yours, and i have met a truly mixed bag over the years, Oh and by the way, if you do insist on trading insults with me, please at least try to offend me, your return volley just left me thinking what you were going on about. I believe the reason you keep posting the stuff from the official is that either you are a mick,you can't be arsed to think of something yourself to post, so it just makes it easier to insult bears who don't agree with anything you say. Or more to the point, you are just a saddo, without the strength of his own convictions, to take criticsm on the chin over something he has felt necessary to post, no matter how others will view it and slag it. To me, only my opinion of course, and meant with the upmost respect, you and your type are the reason our home support feel so strangled that they don't feel they can sing the party tunes, stand up and criticize the team for more than a second, or more to the point, swear or poke obscenities at the opposition or the ref, without people like you grassing them to the closest steward. You have more or less admitted this yourself. Grassing a bear is the lowest level you can reach,i see that on the same level, if not worse than the shite that were sitting in the broomloan last week. I expect them to pull out all the stops to get bears in trouble,therefor nothing surprises me from them. But a "bear" coming on a bears forum to say he grassed "one of his own" for singing a song, or swearing standing up,jesus ,go and join the happy clappers pal and give somebody who deserves it, your seat at ibrox. No Surrender Rab

Aye, whilst nicking all the articles off Rangerstv, or the official website and putting them on here, then wondering why your right arse cheek is itching, then you remember the Celtic season ticket in your pocket. you have never convinced me boab, something to do with you quoting official stuff, just doesn't ring right to me, and your SNP views, everything i was brought up to despise. nae offence mind! No Surrender Rab

lucky bassa! wish i was you Sing yer heart oot for the sons of william son No Surrender Rab

I agree with adam102, and i always would to be fair. I don't expect every football player to think like we do,but with the obvious exceptions of those who are professional football playing Tim sympathisers, i would not want anybody, as a human being, a member of mankind, who could even consider signing for them. knowing what they are about and stand for, signing for the bears. I know some would say that is cutting your nose off to spite your face,but i don't care.want 11 billy boys in a rangers jersey, if not that, then players who would not entertain signing for them.utopia rules! No Surrender Rab

Fuckin Terrible news about your club CR, is it going to cost much to repair? Fuckin scummy bastards by the way, only thing i would say is that there should be some sort of uprising from your members, you can't take that lying down. In a strange way, and i don't mean this to look as it reads, as i too live outside of Scotland, it must somehow bring the reality of the Rangers-Celtic game closer to home. mmmm. how could you retaliate, let me think. Bullets in the post to the owner of their club maybe? they would never know it was you. Get them back man, you have to. No Surrender Rab PS, long shot i know, but my cousin Tommy Wilson emigrated to Toronto a few years ago, he is a mad red headed, heavy metal loving true blue from Kirkintilloch, in his early 40's. we were very close and lost touch.come across anybody of that description mate?

Great Shout pal, in fact i'd swap him for miller with no fee, even at 36. A very poor man's Coisty, but in today's SPL would poach at least 1 every game, no doubt. No Surrender Rab

Agree totally with this Sell the lot and build again, take it on the chin for a couple of years until the young uns are battle scarred and ready to dominate scottish football for years.I'm not worried about being skint, just about players looking for excuses for their shite performances.Read wee nachos book. a true bear who could be me or you playing for the rangers,just because he loved the club.And he was treated like shit in the end.Can't believe what happened to him contract wise.Fuckin Miller?Not a patch on wee nacho, as a man or player.

Oh dear mate. I don't know if you are younger than me, but i grew up watching the shite rangers teams of the early 80's under greig and wallace when there was rarely more than 16000 at ibrox every week, the players could hear every insult screamed at them. Rangers supporters are not idiots, nor do we have blind faith. If we are going to vote with our feet, i would rather us all stay outside the ground in protest for the first 20 mins,rather than leave before the end I hate the sight of those empty seat in the last 20 mins. The shite times could come again, and only the real hardcore will be at ibrox every week should it happen.just as it was then. Funny, when souness came and spent all that money,put a winning team on the park, me and my dad couldn't even pay at the parent and child gate in the Copland, as we had done for the previous 5 years, week in,week out.The gloryhunters had taken over.Probably the same mob who leave after 65 mins every other saturday now. No Surrender Rab

Where am i greetin face, or if you mean miller, then read the whole post. It's more referring to the rangers support rather than him. Anyway how can you comment on what i have been feeling this week.Hope you were first in line for the subway after 78 minutes last weekend.

it's been the most depressing,desperate week i can ever recall for 38 years of being a bear since the build up to and the events of sunday. I've barely lifted my head all week at work. But hearing the news about miller leaving has got the juices flowing ever so slowly. The feeling of injustice for some, or in my case relief, of our top scorer going, who cares what emotion we all feel. It's backs against the wall time bears, the cry of no surrender should be the first words out of our mouths at this time as no doubt he won't be the last to leave in January, there are far better players who will leave i think. Just the thought of that has me feeling that battle fever running through my veins. Maybe this is the kick up the arse the boys need. Maybe this is the kick up the arse the rangers support need more importantly. There are those who will moan, and there are those who will moan and follow follow and fight and sing for their club, and not be outsung by the t*rriers at ibrox, those are the people we need now. Fuck off Kenny Time for somebody to step up to the plate. most of me wants nobody to agree with me on this,cos i need an argument. Our home support has developed a soft, should be with the missus at ikea instead today, underbelly. We need to get angry again bears. No Surrender Rab

Regardless of how bad things are. i would like to believe it is them rather than us who see things that way Remember strapon signing any player who had even walked past Ibrox couple of years ago, pressley et al. things will never be that bad i hope. we have standards after all!

Remember being at the preseason friendly with Ipswich and it was belted out for nearly the entire half time interval. I love being in the gers away support. We apologise to nobody and take no prisoners.Love that song, although some on here will disapprove of course.

Come to think of it mine as well mate. god we must be unpopular on here sometimes, in my case most of the time. He had almost, almost won me over, but as i sat back in my sadness last sunday, and watched all those in blue masquerading as rangers players being stuffed by the worst celtic team ever, i was staring at him more than the other non triers. He has scored some really important goals for the gers, think league cup final last season. But as i listened to the beadrattling bastards singing all their shite, taking the piss, the guy dressed as the pope, lennon refusing to even get to the track in time to respect our dead, but managing to get up to the studio to get arselicked by sky in time, my mind rolled on to miller straight away. That wee bastard played for them. Mojo scored goals for the gers as well but i never accepted him.hated the cunt for even being allowed to be near rangers. I celebrated KM's goals against them at the piggery against them with everybody else, just maybe not in the same way i celebrated when big macculloch scored, a real bear, therein lies the difference with me. No compromising or awkward feelings about how he once scored for them against us. I would let him go for nothing now come to think of it, in a straight swap with that old goalsniffer Kevin Phillips, guaranteed goals to win us the SPL. Fuck me, we might even put 2 strikers up front against the scum at home, you just never know. Bye Kenny, thanks for the goals, but fuck off.

I'm with you son.Only i think i'm more heart broken than angry. anger will come tomorrow when the first wanker at work takes the piss, and for the first time in my life i will have to take it without retaliating, because even i cannot defend that shower of gutless bastards that lay down to the mhanks on the park today. if you are the queen . i guess i'll have to be a princess, a really ugly one though. chin up son.

Not sure how many of you will read this. I'm not the most articulate of people, so any spelling mistakes or incorrect grammar, please bear with me. I had to watch the game at home with my son today on sky. I said to him that although i had been to Ibrox 100's of times before, and seen countless OF games, I would have loved to have been there with him to pay my respects the 66 and the families and friends affected 40 years ago, and that we would stay till after the last supporter had left the stadium before we made our way out, win ,lose or draw. You see we can't afford to go that often together at the same time. The build up to the game this week has been quite emotional for me, as it has with thousands of others. To be honest I’ve never known anything quite like it, very surreal, also my desire inside to hammer celtic today burned more than ever. We sat down with a beer to watch the build up to the game, watching the 4 veterans of 71, deeply upset older men from both sides of the divide pouring their heart out about that day, must admit seeing Tommy Gemmel, even as one of them, in that state of health, started making an already emotional, quite tough big bloke like myself, start to quiver inside and i could feel the tears were not too far away. I was praying they would not show Colin Stein again as he was close to tears and that would tip me over the edge, but sure as fuck it cut to him next and that was it. When that legend of a man started talking about how he got the blame for scoring that goal and causing those people to die, i just let it all go, and so did my son, that man must have been destroyed at the time inside his soul, and you can tell he is still. My son and i composed ourselves and stood in the living room in total silence, and prayed that everyone in the stadium did the same, they did to a man, surely not a task to hard to ask, even of the animals in the broomloan. Women, children and young men lost their lives that day, and regardless of what team they supported, even the most uneducated animal should be able to keep their mouth shut for 60 seconds and show some level of respect for them. I say this before some on here start saying well done the celtic fans for staying quiet (you know who you are). Anyhow, silence through out, thank Christ, the whistle blew, we screamed at the tv as loud as if we had been there together. What I witnessed when the camera cut to the tunnel next was truly shocking - something that no other celtic manager would surely have done. Neil Lennon eventually arriving trackside after the silence left me raging, but i could not get any words out, then I turned cold inside as I saw Thompson follow him. Fuckin animals, my mind started racing about what he and him were doing during the silence. If he was still available for selection to play, would this cretin have gone for a piss to miss the silence, and run onto the pitch to join his team afterwards? I've always hated Lennon, more than anybody ever who played for them, but today there are just no words to describe what I feel about him. How Walter could shake his hand before the game i do not know. When you saw the pain etched on John Grieg and Billy McNeill’s faces( far bigger legend to them than he will ever be) as they carried the wreath, even Big Caesar himself must have been ashamed, no matter the excuse. I thought to myself, "Please Rangers, for that alone don't let me down today, not fuckin today." What i witnessed from the Rangers for the next 90 minutes was disgusting. I have seen us lose to Celtic lots of times before and you know it happens, it's hard to take, but today of all days, and in the manner in which they lost to the worst Celtic team i have witnessed at Ibrox, I for 1 just can't except that at all. Celtic was shite today, but those who disgraced the blue jersey should be hanging their heads in shame. All bar wee Jamie Ness who was magic. They should be made to explain to bears everywhere why they played in such a gutless cowardly manner, with no fight or desire, at times it looked like they were barely trying or bothered. Didn't muster a single shot on target in the whole game, it was a fuckin disgrace. Celtic didn't have to work hard to beat us. There are some of the players who should be looking at themselves tonight in the mirror, wondering if they not only have the balls to wear our jersey, but whether they should drive to Murray Park tonight, clear their lockers, and just fuck off for good. Coisty could not even look any of them in the eye as they came off the pitch; he was obviously ashamed of them, or to be associated with them. Hearing they bastards behind the goal going mental was terrible enough, but as we humped the ball forward yet again with 14 minutes to go, i saw the vast empty spaces in the Copland road and the Govan and I finally blew a gasket. People make excuses on here for the subway loyal being entitled to leave when they like, but given the dramatic manner in which that game ended in 71 you would have thought they would stay to the end today and just wait for transport like everybody else. You lot, please go down to the shops when Rangers are on the park, or whatever others do, and give your season tickets to some who really want to be there as you are as big an embarrassment, if not more so, than the absolute shite we witnessed on the park today. It was a really dark day all round today. For everyone at Rangers. I for one shall look at those who played for us today, when they run out against hearts, with a lot less affection, and that will take a long while to wane. We may go on to win the title, but today the rangers broke my heart and disgraced the club. Gutted. I’m sorry I’ve bored you all. No Surrender (from me anyway) Rab

No Surrender, as GOAT said. fuckin tear right intae them Rangers. regardless if they stay quiet or not.What are the don't sing this song and that song brigade going to be posting sunday night if by some miracle they observe the silence impeccably? Oh well done celtic for not being shitebags for a minute of your life?They ruined the 20th anniversary.Fuckin Scum. Notice Boab hasn't posted yet with his usual petulance regarding celtic hating Bears. On and off the park Come on the Sons of William

PC Bear, i don't really care in which context you meant to say what you said, but to me you are a fuckin disgrace, and if i met you in the street i would kick your teeth through the back of your skull ya fuckin prick
