  1. Taken straight from one of the Morton forums....

    Sandy goes to most Morton home games. He mostly sits in the stand but was in the Cowshed for the Albion Rovers game.

    I forget a lot

    I don't remember the Easdale brothers being Morton fans or going to Cappielow as boys, if I remember correctly it was Rangers they supported.

    You would be right there, through school Sandy, not sure about James(you would be nearer his age in school) were Rangers fans!

    That's from the same thread your quotes from.

    Just to be clear I have no idea if the Easdales are good for the club.

  2. Govan Rear GR4 Row K Seat 0112

    I have been going from age aged 6 ...every season. I'm 53. Bill Struth talked of troubled times. Our motto is Ready and our Cry IS No Surrender and Follow Follow.

    I have watched Celtic win 9 in a row, and Davie whites humiliation against Gornik. I have watched Gazza and Laudrup light up my saturdays.

    It's who I am and what I do. I follow. I support. Its unconditional. It's like the love you can have for a child.

    Nick Hornby talks about it eloquently in his book when he was 6 too I think and he realised Arsenal was in his blood and that this love would outlast his marriage.

    I have been privileged to support Rangers. It has been an honour. I look at the Thistle and Dumbarton supporters and admire them for their dedication ....to their "Club"

    This is the essence... i go to Ibrox to support that nebulous entity ... "Rangers Football Club." McCoist has been disappointing and the players disappointing... and I am disappointed.... but I will never stop going or make ultimatums... never. RTID is a phrase I use and I mean it.

    I understand the pain... we should make it bond us.

    Its funny you know...im a low poster but pop in here and read daily... Some posters in thousands or with names like loyal dis the likes of me because we don't have "many posts" but are now talking about not renewing till Ally goes. The measure of the supporter not how much they support but how much they post seemingly. We are an easy club to support in the good times but the measure of us is now... loyalty in the hard times. Struth knew these times would come because that is what life is like. He gave us warnings that hard times would come round. The elders amongst us will realsie the se happenings in our personal lives or marriage.

    I support our "Club" and I will not hold them to ransom. The current Board are unimpressive, McCoist unimpressive, the players unimpressive, however we the fans have been outstanding in terms of support and a little disappointing in our ability to show some cohesiveness. By all means be unhappy with Board / manager and players and show your displeasure if you feel necessary.

    GOAT ... i don't know you but you're clearly passionate and angry. Perhaps I'm older, and having suffered their 9 as a teenager I'm more patient. Think again my friend. Ally will go soon.. his time is nearing, Unless there is a miraculous turnaround which even I don't see. Try and support our Club... evermore... use you passion to galvanise us. ( For the record I have no connections with Board and think our custodians have been poor since Murray lost interest. My view on Ally is at best ambivalent but I will shout for the team and manager on a saturday. This is not a call to renew season tickets but to inspire you just a little to keep going to games next year. If your in GR then say hello hello!)

    I know some of you may not renew or may use King's scheme... which is fine and I won't dis you for it, because these are trying times... but believe me ... if you can grit your teeth and hang in for the rest of the journey it will taste all the sweeter when we get there. I know this was not the journey we imagined and the board appear to take us for granted... I'm simply supporting the "Club" I love.

    I returned from Ibrox today disappointed with result and the last 2 seasons in general. my wife said it's not been a very entertaining season has it. "I know," I said, " If I wanted entertained though, I'd go to the theatre... but I go to support Rangers... cos that's what I signed up to age 6"

    She sighed of course but I trust that most of you might get it.

    Disappointed but Loyal and still following

    Struth "Never fear, inevitably we shall have our years of failure, and when they arrive, we must reveal tolerance and sanity. No matter the days of anxiety that come our way, we shall emerge stronger because of the trials to be overcome. That has been the philosophy of the Rangers since the days of the gallant pioneers."

    Outstanding post.
  3. Lets be honest you've been looking for a way out since we were demoted and couldnt play in Europe I would rather have one fan from the 80s that regulary went than 10 of your type ,spoiled by success ,but when the going gets tough greets like a child and rips everything about the club apart.

    I understand there was problems with your kid when it was born,I went through the same,it was a totally different outcome to yours,if I was you I would spend more time with your kid and maybe leave the club and the forum alone for a while ,your clearly not enjoying it.

    The Federation of Dundee United Suppporters Clubs' website holds a wealth of contact details for a host of fantastic supporters clubs. Find out more here

    While in the same world their Chairman says "I don’t think we will sell more than 13,000 or 14,000 tickets because there are a lot of people who don’t want to go to Ibrox or take their kids there."

  5. I swear to ipod it used to be amusing us getting blamed for others mistakes,but this and the continual attempts to deny us our history from the likes of spiers,spence and others will eventualy lead to a negative reaction,it seems everyone wants to" poke the bear" in a country of just over 5 million is this advisible when the bear can command over 250,000 to cross borders to watch a game on a screen,while 50,000 watched in house?

  6. "Mr Rannachan, a member of Fans Against Criminalisation (FAC), effectively an alliance of Celtic supporters' groups, said he was under no illusion about winning the poll, but there is a belief amongst his supporters that it can knock the SNP into third place"
