Edmiston Drive reacted to backup in your greatest atmosphere ever at Ibrox.
On reflection, Kai Johansen's '66 Scottish Cup final replay was something special too, nearly but not quite as electric as Inter was, imho.

Edmiston Drive reacted to backup in your greatest atmosphere ever at Ibrox.
March 3rd 1965 against Inter, we won 1-0 went out 3-2 on aggregate European cup... Jim Forrest scored in 6 minutes, we absolutely battered them for the rest of the game. Big Roger knocked Sarti clean out with a volley from the half-way line, the Tallies held on though, catenaccio was their game and they were masters at it. 80,000 on a brittle night the place never stopped rocking, the atmosphere was something else, never experienced anything to match it anywhere auld firm or even the good old days of Wembley.

September 1997 against hearts. We won 4-1. My first ever trip to Ibrox. Travelled from Portsmouth with my uncle. Will never forget that day for as long as I live.

I am disgusted by certain Rangers fans and so called blue knights. I am still for Gren and co as they put the cash up when other hid.
Now until I see something official to decry them , I will then chamge my backing ...........but based on tittle tattle now ay will I salp anyone who stepped into the breech.

It is indeed a sad day when posters call for other posters to be banned..............RIMA has been consistent with his posts and his reasons for not wanting anything to harm the Rangers.

I reckon there are straightforward ways to cut through the accusation, counter-accusation; truth / spin; opinion & counter-opinion where the only common denominator of substance is that they risk creating massive divisions. Maybe thats what all parties want though in the fight for contol of the Club; the fight to blame / defend actions; in a fight fought in the media and fuelled by the media.
The accounts - due soon - will reveal what revenue has been earned by the Club and what money has been spent. I trust the accounts will be transparent enough for accurate and reasoned assessment of the quality of financial stewardship that has been applied.
With the accounts I hope there are clear statements of the revenue Rangers will be receving by virtue of agreed commercial contracts over the next FY and for future FYs if the revenue streams stretch that far. And information about the types of commercial deals in course of being negotiated where the income is not certain - an indication of possible future income streams of that nature would be useful. In short, it is for the Directors to provide full and clear statements of revenue generation deals banked and to be banked. Mather has made a point of emphasising generating revenues to retain the 'infrastructure' (as he put it) to avoid having to incur the costs of investing in that when we are back at the top. Nothing much has been said about what cost-cutting measures have taken place or are planned so more clarity on that is needed too.
Full disclosure of salaries and bonuses would greatly help people to understand who earns what. Whether or not it is justified is a matter of judgement but full and complete disclosure of the facts would, in my view, help in terms of establishing with certainty what is being spent.
With the above 3 blocks of information we will all be better placed to judge the state of the finances and whehter or not the promises made in the IPO have been met or are in course of being met.
I see no reason why both the Rangers Board and former Directors could not agree to disclosure of relevant extracts of the contracts that the Directors were given. If specified bonuses or fees or expenses or whatever other language the contracts use to describe money are legally binding contractual commitments, and if they nature of the deal was that for every £1m of commercial revenue banked by Rangers as a direct result of a contract negotiated and signed a % goes to the person (or persons) resonsible for winning the business and concluding favourable deals that manifestly benefit the Club then that should be apparent from their contracts. The challenge to the Board and to those who have contractual claims is to waive their rights to confidentiality and diclose the contractual deal they all agreed to. The facts will speak for themselves. Whether or not we all think the deals were justified or appropriate is quite another matter of course. But the facts of the deals are the facts and it would, in my view, be sensible to disclose them and save everybody a heap more unncessary anguish and speculation.
A public wrangling does no-one any good in the long run. Maybe with accounts due soon a collective will can emerge to provide full and clear disclosure of all of the relevant information and not just the minimum necessary for accounting purposes. Perhaps this may be too much to ask, and if it is then I guess we are all in for more battles by media and battles behind the scenes in the Boardroom and betwen shareholders and former Directors for a while longer.

Some folk mention the 9pm watershed as if that marks a threshold when anything goes. Remember these shows are archived and free to play at the discretion of the listener. I'm more than capable of swearing with the best of them, also red-blooded, west-coaster, very partial to steak and a bevvy but I try and express myself a little more eloquently. We all stay back for GSTQ so I think it would be fitting if we used language befitting HRH. RangersChat is the ONLY Rangers phone-in show IN THE WORLD, we set the standard - let's make it a high one.

Especially since we will have to play him in at least 3 games, maybe more if we progress in both cups.
