  1. Anybody with the right attitude can do Nevis. It might be hard if you're unfit, but if you approach it in a good mindset and give it you're all, you can do it. Great idea.

    Walked the west highland way over 5 days at Easter and climbed the Ben on the sixth , hard going but if yer half fit yer in

    was shattered after the highland way n thought of chucking Ben Nevis half way up , but some auld dears asking you to move out the way as yer resting soon boost yer legs for the final push

    RIGHT, who did it? Who ratted them out? Has Hoopy the Huddle Hound accounted for his whereabouts on the nights of 10 March and 17 March this year?

    Has anybody combed the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven and Ibrox and found his paw prints anywhere near this controversy, has anybody established a link between Celtic's canine cheerleader and this organisation with a dramatically elevated profile, FooADVERTISEMENT

    tball Against Racism In Europe (FARE)? Such an ironic name, really, given the supposed unfairness of what is happening to Rangers at the moment.

    Two UEFA charges for sectarian chanting and both of them thanks to FARE's shadowy presence in Holland and Glasgow. This is the burning issue, is it? Who are the people landing Rangers in trouble? Who would sink so low as to orchestrate what Martin Bain calls a witch-hunt against the club?

    Well, let's just go along with the Rangers take on things and call it a conspiracy. Let's say that FARE, and their leader, Piara Powar, were put up to it by Celtic supporters who are either (a) genuinely perturbed at the songs being sung by Rangers fans or (b) are gleeful about the songs and the opportunity they present to land their rivals in some serious bother.

    Powar goes into work one morning and switches on his laptop and, suddenly, whoooosh! Hundreds of e-mails from "concerned citizens" of Glasgow asking them to investigate the truly awful behaviour of these people from across the city, this bigoted rabble that shame Scotland. They include newspaper articles and, just to be helpful, a collection of YouTube videos with a helpful lyrics guide just in case the words don't come over loud and clear on the links.

    This, after all, is the raison d'etre of FARE. They want supporters to contact them if they feel they're being victimised or if they've witnessed behaviour that is racist, homophobic or sectarian. That is why they are here. So Powar listens, as he must. And he mobilises an observer to go to Eindhoven and Ibrox and report on what is being sung. And, lo, sectarian chanting is heard.

    So, I guess you could call this a witch-hunt if you like. But then witch-hunts are commonplace between Old Firm fans. These people, clearly with too much time on their hands and too much hate in their bones, are inventive in the way they create trouble for each other and social media has it made all the easier. Wasn't it a witch-hunt that saw many people - could they have been Rangers people by any chance? - contacting Strathclyde Police a little while back stating categorically that they heard Neil Lennon using racist language against El-Hadji Diouf, when he did not.

  3. Who knows what to believe now

    Our bank or the useless hacks from Scottish football......it's a tough one right enough.

    No one is denying we are in financial trouble but the stories coming out today have been denied by the bank, why would they do this if they were true ?

    I for one don`t believe Walter is a Liar , not one person today has came out and said so

  4. For me it dosnt matter how many groups, splinter groups etc there are. The only thing i care about is Glasgow Rangers and at the moment we are going through one of the most difficult times in our proud history. If there is anyone on here who cant see the bigger picture then i suggest you wipe your eyes. Rangers are bigger than the board, manager, players and definately individual supporters groups. Instead of bickering among ourselves lets remember that "no one likes us we dont care" and stick together like the true blue loyal fans that we know we are. There will always be a Rangers and we will always "follow follow ".

    :clap::clap: Well said that man :clap::clap:

  5. Oh good, am getting pm's from the usual suspects on this matter. Please guys, stop PM'ing me for news as the more it happens the lesss likely I am to divulge anything. However there will be interesting articles in the papers tomorrow thats all I can say just now

    ta

    maybe they are just holding off for now, no doubt word has reached them that the fans are on to this.....

    What a lot of Shite :wanker:

    Let`s just wait and see if a new owner can be found in the not to distant future

    rant over

  6. Gutted i can't make it to Ibrox tonight :anguish: I just couldn't afford the full CL package and by the time single tix were on sale i couldn't get a seat i fancied. My mate got us a Stuttgart ticket though (Cause hes a ledge) so i can't wait for that. Will be one of the biggest games no doubt

    Are you serious?

    I'd sit on the f*cking roof of Ibrox if it gave me an opportunity to be there tonight.

    I don't want to sound like I'm preching at anybody because I'm just making a general point, but some people take the fact that they have Rangers on their doorstep for granted.

    Your a fucking Idiot couldnt get a seat I wanted.

    Get to fuck we dont need you as a fan.

    What you only go to games where you get the best seat as possable.

    First of all, don't call me an idiot. I couldn't get a seat that wasn't restricted view. The site either freezes or the tickets aren't actually available, despite what it says. Second of all i can't afford this game as i opted for a Stuttgart ticket instead.

    Secondly, who is the 'we' that don't need me as a fan? You don't get to choose who is or isn't a fan, and don't ever question my allegiance - you don't know me.

    And thirdly i don't go to games where i can't see the match.

    Fuckin' idiot

    restricted view WTF :wanker:
