the sash

Been following the team since 1968 and never felt as low as I do, not just tonight, but the complete clusterfuck we’ve become and the total absence of any direction home, to paraphrase Dylan.
Scum supporting mates pity us (even on the back of their Lazio riddy) and we have become a parody, a bad joke.
Like most of you, I’m like a bear with a sore head when we lose and I’m getting told I’m even grumpier than usual these days.
I’m getting more and more miserable with each fuck-up and, to be honest, the useless bastards running our club don’t deserve fans like us.
Got to hope that we stumble past St Mirren and that a miracle happens during the international break.
There will be a time for the tactical subtleties of a French or Dutch coach but, right now, we need an arse-kicker, a sergeant major to explain to these impostors in Rangers strips, in the most basic agricultural language, just exactly how far they are from being close to acceptable.
Until that day arrives, I’m stepping away because putting myself through this misery is unhealthy.

Patterson was the same as the rest he hardly ever got a game , we got lucky and actually made money for once.

Came here to see what Beale was saying on transfers. Are we signing a plastic pitch?

Some of the replies on twitter are a disgrace btw. The guy has put in millions of his own money to get us to where we are now. 

Basically near enough the full champions league group stage, the guy will be absolutely gutted if this is true.

Heard from a few boys there’s a bit of trouble around the city due to the filth also playing 
Stay safe, especially if with kids as that lot have shown in the past they have 0 morals. 

Yaaaaaasssss

Fucked it, not proud of myself

Most of us knew it would happen but, personally, I thought it would take our first trophy to push them over the edge. But no, a single goal victory in a single match has done the trick.
The seeds were sewn in the summer when complacency and arrogance led them to think that a  squad actually weaker than the previous season (Dembele, Roberts out, Morgan in) would still be too strong for everyone else. Some of their support began to fidget but Big Peter and St Brenda had never failed them, right?
Defeats to Killie and Hibs increased the jitters as our European heroics indicated a steel and determination absent for so long. The fidgeting got worse as they announced a bonus of 2.3m for Big Peter yet couldn’t shake off Rangers or Killie in the league they had come to see as their own.
Their friends in the media stayed loyal, hounding Morelos at every turn and bigging up journeymen like Christie and Edouard as if they were world beaters. And of course, the loyal suppression of THAT story continued for the most part as the verdicts were reported but our courageous journalists steadfastly refused to join the dots.
Then it happened. St Brenda’s first defeat at the thirteenth hurdle. Their fourth defeat of the season matching the total of the previous two seasons combined. And the manner of the defeat was even more telling than the scoreline. Totally dominated and clueless.
They are creatures of habit and, true to form, they turned on the officials and the SFA (an organisation more loyal, valuable and reliable to them than a bloody guide dog to a blind man) in a major deflection operation. The rules which state that, if the referee saw an incident and chose not to act, then no further sanctions can be applied, surely couldn’t apply here.
“‘Mon tae fuck” they howled.
The house of cards begins to shudder.
Then Rangers ramp up the pressure by strengthening further with Defoe, Davis, Jones and Kamara on their way. Shit, this is serious.
And so the head of the supporters group (Mr “not enough Protestants on the Titanic“ himself) writes to the erstwhile allies at Hampden, effectively calling them cheats for following the rules. And, in what is clearly an orchestrated manoeuvre, the club follow it up with a demand for transparency. The club which has made an art form of secrecy and cover up now pushing for “transparency”. Utterly priceless.
Their world is collapsing in on them and they are in blind panic.
And of course, there hangs over them, THAT story. It hasn’t gone away and they may yet regret the stupidity of turning on the SFA who will hold the fate of that poisonous club in their hands.
It is the perfect storm and it has been a long time coming. Their lack of class and dignity is exposed for all to see and it is not pretty. The house of cards is hanging by a thread and an act of defiance or bravery by either the SFA or a serious journalist (Mark Daly?) will surely bring the whole rancid slum crashing to the ground.
I am thoroughly enjoying the show so far and would encourage all Bears to pull up a chair with, dare I suggest, a bowl of jelly and ice cream?

 

Good to see even after a solid performance people on here still feel the need to stick the boot in, and on one of our own. Not even constructive comments just petulant pish.
Thought he played well tonight, they clearly targeted the left but he stood his ground well and battled for every ball. Obviously not our first choice left back but someone who will come in and give 100% when asked. 

There's a bunch of young Bears who are too young to remember as being the Rangers where we were.
These young lads have been used to seeing us getting  pumped of Alloa and Raith Rovers.
Seeing these kids giving it laldy tonight on the bus after a great European result was a joy. Even if we don't get through these boys know what it means to be at Ibrox when it's bouncing.
I was lucky to be brought up during 9 in a row when they were winning everything. These lads know nothing apart from us being in the shit. Was great to see all of them buzzing tonight.

Hard to argue with much of this, Good read.

3 separate Headlines I’ve seen this morning. 
1 - A player being called a fenian bastard. Implication we are all bigots. 
2 - The Neely story. Implications are obvious.  
3 - The SFA Charges. Iplication we are cheats and the consequences could be including massive fines and we can’t sign players. 
All 3 headlines this morning.  Coincidence? Is it fuck. After 8 months the SFA apply those charges last night.  After how long that Neely story is regurgitated and the MOH story thrown into the mix. 
I’m not going to take apart the individual stories, anyone with a brain can see what’s going on with all 3.  It’s so obvious.
Over the past few weeks there has been a huge shift in the positive press we have been receiving (mostly if not exclusively beyond our borders).  High profile English journalists talking positively about our club, on a fairly consistent basis.  Yet here we are this morning with our very own ‘3 Billboards’ - a blatant attempt to shift the narrative.   Bad Rangers - stay away, disassociate yourself.  
The club cannot allow this to go on and token retaliation statements isn’t enough. If we do not have a PR team able to represent us in what is a PR war then we have to get that in place at whatever cost.  There is a genuine propoganda machine very effectively attacking us and the impact of these types of headlines should not be underestimated. 
Wake up Rangers.  We have to fight back. What I’ve said here isn’t anything that the majority of us haven’t been saying for some time however it’s time, it really has to be.  

"Rangers have had to embarrassingly admit they cannot pay their debts"
Thats plenty from you Swanson ya cunt
