gordo7 reacted to govanblue in govanblue in Fund Retirement Shocker!!!
No it’s not a clickbait title- for once!
So after 6 years of fundraising, I’ve finally decided that it’s finally time for me to finally hang up my gloves, and finally start to draw the curtain down on my overly-long involvement in what was actually only supposed to be a one-off fundraiser. There are lots of random, unrelated and non-controversial reasons behind my decision, the main one being health-related, so that’s the end of that discussion!
I’m sure many of you will be delighted at the news of my retirement, because let’s face it, I’m an annoying cunt, even on a good day.
What I don’t want to do though, is leave either Erskine or the many Loyal Fund Members suddenly in the lurch, so I have hopefully come up with a workable exit strategy…
We have already just recently paid £2500 for 10 Erskine & Combat Stress Season tickets renewals for the coming season, and we still have a few hundred quid left in the bank to cover Europa and Cup tickets for the next couple of months, plus our previously promised donation to Bravehound, so we’re good for a while.
We will shortly launch the RM Erskine Fund 2019/20 New Season Membership/Donations thread just as we had planned to do. But this time, it will run only for about one month, giving any members who wish to continue their support into next season an opportunity to do so. After which, we will stop accepting donations into the current Fund account.
The money raised from that fundraiser, added to the money that we already hold in reserve, should mean that we will have enough money to maintain our spending for the rest of this season (albeit on a reduced budget), and also still hold enough money in reserve to pay for next season’s season tickets, which will be approx £2500 and will be due in May 2020, which means we will be providing continued support using just our existing (plus next month's) resources, until May 2021, which I think is not a bad exit strategy.
Of course, that’s using just our existing (plus next month’s) resources. After I end my fundraising involvement, it doesn't mean that other Members can’t keep things going in all sorts of ways – it just means donations won’t go through my bank account, so you’ll need to work something out yourselves for that side of things. (off the top of my head, I can think of loads of options, so it shouldn't be too hard to come up with some fully workable ideas). I will of course be fully available to the Fund in an offline advisory capacity for as long as my input is needed.
So may I take this opportunity to thank Everyone who has so wholeheartedly supported our efforts over those many years. I only made the outlandish demands I made, because I knew there were People like you there to meet them. And together, I think we made enough of a difference for it to have been ultimately worthwhile.
So there you go – that’s the plan. Keep your eye out for the season 19/20 Membership Fundraiser thread which will be along soon, and let’s make it a good one.
Oh and don't forget, you've got a Dug to feed too!

gordo7 reacted to TheCutch in insane bbc bias
Haud the bus here...
I have a good wee giggle reading these sort of threads in a sort of "each to their own way of thinking" sort of way and so I don't normally post in them.
But....
Have I just read that correctly that you got annoyed that somebody on the radio referred to us as "Rangers"?
And with that, I am seriously off to ma kip. 🙈

gordo7 reacted to siddiqi_drinker in Borna Barisic
Article appears to be from Sep 6, 2018 -- was also the time Lorna's competitor for the LB position Ivan Strinić , who played 6 games in Russia 2018, and who plays AC was diagnosed with a heart condition (Aug 18, 2018) --- so yeah they probably were struggling for a LB but thankfully both - Borna after surgery and Strinić, after a scare - are now fit.
So we have a LB who competes with the AC Milan LB for a place n the national team - so pardon me but I'm not prepared to write him off just yet.

gordo7 reacted to TMB in Tavernier & Barisic Stats
Barisic got more than one assist last season. I think he was credited as having 3 assists for Rangers (not including the one he got in the friendly against Helsinki). He also got assists and goals for Osijek and Croatia which all demonstrate he has an end product.
Many claim Tavernier can’t defend but using hard data we can prove that’s completely inaccurate - That’s why statistics are good. Tavernier was the whipping boy for a long time, now it’s Barisic’s turn, but players often prove punters wrong.
Barisic struggled with injuries last season and admitted himself that he underperformed. By all accounts he’s impressing over in Portugal so let’s see what the new season brings.

gordo7 reacted to BlueSuedeSambas in Who Will Be Back Up To Allan McGregor?
Each to their own but I don’t think he’s anywhere near good enough to be our number one. Too many bread and butter shots went past him when he had the jersey and it would just be more of the same if he came back in. There’s a reason he was one of the first players Gerrard replaced.

Hughes was the driving force behind the new charge so not a surprise to see them go down this road. Will be a few nervous individuals within Hampden at the moment
