Heard them myself. Why?

Bit of a moan about nothing really. Celtic fans were singing that, some of our 'support' were singing about Tommy Burns and the death of Scott Brown's sister. If anything I find our behaviour more offensive than theirs midweek. Why we are concerning ourself with the head of their supporters organisation I don't know, I don't even concern myself with the banger that's head of the RST. Although the police claiming the behaviour of the fans was terrific is rather bizarre.

Disappointed with the performance, should have been 1-0 up, but these things happen. For me, McCulloch, Davis, Jelavic and Aluko were dreadful and contributed absolutely nothing. I was fairly happy with the lineup, McCoist couldn't have done much else today. It's more the previous games I'm annoyed with. Dreadfully negative selections from Ally in the last 6 or7 games. Hopefully we invest in Jan and turn this around. Losing a 12 point lead isn't acceptable for me.

Was buzzing for this all day, but a bit worried about Ally going defensively. In delighted that we are attacking this mob because their defence is PISH! Well done Ally. Brave selection. Bring it on. WATP!

Perhaps you should pay for your own medicine from a legal source?

Exactly. Can't believe some on here are criticising the ref. it's a clear elbow and a straight red.

Tough to say. Through negative selection and dire performances we have been humiliated in Europe by absolute shite, put out the league cup by a 1st division team and had a 12 point lead cut to 4 points (probably to 1 after midweek). Whyte never signed him, so if he doesn't win the league after Celtic literally gifted us a huge lead I wouldn't be shocked if he was sacked. Hope he turns it around and improves the horrible negative style of football we play.

Well I love the club, so I will, but team selections like this are the reason Ally probably won't be here next season.

Horrible team. Don't even want to fucking watch it. What the fuck is Ally thinking?

All depends on his attitude I suppose. If he'll take a 6 or 12 month deal with the option to extend on higher wages at the end if he performs then yes. If he's expecting 3 years on £15K plus then he's kidding himself after his recent performances and leaving us in the lurch somewhat. Definite no in that situation. Time will tell I suppose.

It's a tough one really. Positives and negatives... Negatives I would like to think that we have improved the way that we play football by bringing in Jela when Boyd left, however, I actually think that this season we have gone backward under Ally. Bring a fat lazy imobile poacher who requires someone else to run for him might set us further back. He's lazy He's failed at Middlesbourgh and in Turkey Doesn't really do it in the big games He left us previously when it could be argued that we really needed him Positives He's a proven SPL goalscorer He's a free transfer Scores a barrel loads against the dross of the SPL (who we have struggled to score against recently) We (and Ally) know what we will get with him. He's better than Healy, more experience than Hemmings (our only back up from Jela and Laff) On low wages I'd take him personally, but I can see why many wouldn't want him back.

I hate that justification. Rangers were absolutely dreadful today and ICT can consider themselves extremely unlucky not to have taken 3 points. Ally is making some really poor decisions at the moment.

Could you PM me the numbers too bud?

I totally agree with him. I think the levels of paranoia are by far the worst I have ever see in and around Rangers at the moment. Sometimes this Leggo guys bring up decent points, but mostly it's just half hearted links from certain people to certain aspects of the SFA/BBC. At times the response to him here is as bad as Celtic fans to their blogger.

I dont think hes biased in anyway. The purpose of a commentator is to enhance the game. He doesn't. He's negative about EVERYTHING. He furthers his own career through burying our product. Everything he says is a put down to Scottish football, the crowds, the refs, the teams, the fans. He makes our game come accross as much worse than it is.

Of our game today has been fucking appalling! This cunt should be nowhere near a Rangers game.

Good management? A wee morale booster after a few weeks of being not quite at his best? He has been a lot better today, might be because Boca is back or because he feels more confident and assured after being rewarded for how well he's doing. Who can really say.

Obviously. Ridiculous suggestion from someone who has no idea of the specifics of the injury, or the possible treatment measures.

Ok, what do you suppose we do? Write a blog about it? Greet down the phone while Hugh Keavins rips the cunt? When you are the best, you are under the spotlight more than others. It's a fact of life.

Because no one cares about Hearts or John Sutton in Scotland. It doesn't sell papers, or increase listeners to discuss it. It's a fact of life that the more popular current issues receive the most attention. It happens in all walks of life, be it politics, banking or energy. Some people will brand it a conspiracy and act like what we used to be able to humiliate Celtic fans for, being totally paranoid. These days we spend so much time complaining the world is against us, or that something hasn't gone our way, or a guy that works for the BBC is a catholic, or a Internet blogger is saying mean stuff about us that we have actually lost sight of what it means to be a Rangers fan at times.

Completely agree. I don't see how a bookable offence can constitute a 2 match ban (I.E. a red card for violent conduct effectively) because the ref was too incompetent to make the decision correctly. I guess that's another debate for another day as it seems to be the going rate.

I didn't say live with the decision. What I said was accept that as the biggest team in the country we will be under most scrutiny. Hence why John Sutton's dive isn't plastered all over the papers. Naismith was a clear elbow and deserved his red card. There was nothing in Stack's hand to Laff's chest, believe me I was about 10 feet away from it. They got the O'Conner decision wrong, they got the Aluko one correct. Hopefully from now on they will get all their decisions correct, rather than letting people away with it because they made a mistake previously.

'Fuck the SFA' seems to be the general reaction from a lot of Bears. I can understand why, because they feel that their decision making has been inconsistent. But to be clear, I'd rather they got the first decision wrong and the rest correct, than get the first one wrong and continued to get every following decision wrong to appear consistent.

There appears to be a lot of rage going about regarding Aluko's 2 match ban. Let's be honest here, he dived. I don't care if a picture from one angle shows a hand on his arm, it was a blatant dive and everyone knows it. He got caught and has rightly been punished. Are you angry at that? Or are you just angry that Gary O'Conner got away with it? The SFA made a huge blunder in that situation, there was insurmountable evidence against him, including his own assistant managers testimony. The SFA fucked it right up. This time they didn't. Aluko dived and has been rightly punished. If it had been Anthony Stokes who had dived we would all want him done, none of us would care about the O'Connor situation. We would just want the SFA to make the correct decision. We are the biggest club in the country, our fans and players will ALWAYS be the subject of more scrutiny than anyone else. You can live with it, or support another team.

Nothing really. It's just the usual angry, poorly considered, unthought out reaction the majority of us have when a big decision goes against us.
