  1. Do not let that tackle overshadow a terribly weak performance by our management team and players. Bar a tackle by Ryan Jack during the first half we did not show any aggression towards them. That is a bigger concern for me
  2. You sure it was that tackle? Or was it the foul by their sub when he just came on? Bit bizarre that this is your take from today’s performance. Should Goldson be fined for his poor pass, McGregor fined for not holding the first save for their second goal? Where do we stop?
  3. Sit beside my 68 year old da, tonight he was bouncing like an 18 year old. I love our team for doing that.
  4. Standing on the chairs belting out the Jermain Defoe is no a good idea. Fell off it twice and I have a massive bruise on my back. 46 years old, I should know better and leave that to the young team. Was worth it though
  5. Was doing my best to remain calm but was right out my seat cheering when Andy won that tackle. Laid down an early marker that today was going to be different. It is what we needed
  6. That is not true, Lennon was giving his team clear instructions in 2nd half to get it down our right side. Where did their goal come from?
  7. He was going after one of their players after final whistle. Looked like Boyd was dragging him away. Pity some of his teammates did not have the same passion and desire as him.
  8. RIP Edmiston Drive. Such sad news to hear of his illness and passing.
  9. Try this link for details on RR ?
  10. It is brilliant we have guys all over the world setting alarm clocks or interrupting their work/shifts to watch our matches, then even more brilliant that some of these same guys are doing the same to call into RR to have a blether about their team thousand of miles away. It is a great wee platform for all us fans to get entertained by or get involved in.
  11. I am out of the country so watched the match on RTV. Excellent coverage from the club media people and having Tom and Kevin Thomson commentating was excellent. Good to have positive people who are passionate about our club getting as excited as we are when things are going well on the pitch. The way Kev speaks about the youth set-up also helps provide an insight into what is happening behind the scenes and the potential that is building there also. Best thing about the RTV coverage is that this money stays within our club and fees are not being paid to people that despise us, have revelled in our misfortunes over the past few years and have very little to say about us in a positive nature. We know who they are and I would happily never see them back in our stadium again.
  12. Will keep an eye out for you ?. Unlikely to be at home games this week as I am out of the country just now. GB makes good use of both our tickets, I had the pleasure of his company at one of our games towards the tail of last season when he was at your seat (to be fair, blethering with GB was more entertaining than what was on the park)
  13. I believe our seats are very close together. Will need to say hello next time we are at the game, think we are only 4 or 5 seats along from you. Just keep an eye out for a wee 11yo getting very embarrassed at his silly old dad getting over excited at the game. That will be me and the boy ?
  14. Donation made. Hope you raise plenty ?
  15. My seat is in MFN. View is better than the atmosphere (although it does have it's moments). I have been in the Main Stand for years yet I still get a thrill walking towards that beautiful part of our stadium. Enjoy your day buddy and hopefully you will be craving to visit us again. Saviour that sight as you approach our magnificent stadium
  16. Don’t wish the lad any misfortune but I would rather we as a support (and Bears Den) focussed upon the young lads that have decided to stay around to make a success at our club. Seeing David Bates and young Ross performing yesterday is enough to know that we are doing the right thing at certain areas of the club. They also look proud to be part of it. Let’s hope there are more to follow ?
  17. Just sat down to start my shift. What a way to kick my day off . Things will only go downhill after that
  18. Cheers for that . Had a ticket for tonight but offshore working.
  19. I had the privilege of visiting Erskine Home at Bishopton yesterday and met a few of the veterans (some of whom are in the above pictures). Let me re-iterate how grateful these guys are for the generosity of the members of RangersMedia who support govanblue's efforts (not forgetting Zetland's efforts too). They were so happy to blether away about the football and the coming season and how much the days out (not only to the matches) mean to them. It really was humbling to see how much of a difference we, as a group here, are making to the guys whose service has made a difference to us and the way we live. Also a wee word for the staff too, the Erskine home is a credit to all the people that work there and those that support it. The place was immaculate, relaxed and appeared to be an enjoyable place for our veterans. The staff made us feel so welcome and again they could not stress how much we at RangersMedia mean to the people at Erskine. At the moment it appears to be fashionable to have a pop at our club and our supporters but yesterday I saw how much we are appreciated by people that really do matter. We should never forget that.
  20. Disappointing from McInnes. His own playing career would have been insignificant had he not played for us. We gave him that opportunity and he should know how special that is. To punish the lad is petty and typical of the attitude towards our great club.
  21. No satisfied with a blazer, is he wanting stripped as well?
  22. All season we have watched players make poor decisions throughout games, Wes not coming off his line, Waghorn shooting when he can take a touch or lay off a pass to teammate, Tav getting drawn out of position etc etc. They continue to make these same poor decisions so it abundantly clear that they lack the quality and ability necessary to compete at a reasonable level. For me this is not the case for Beerman, he made a poor decision to dive in. That poor decision did not cost us the game, albeit it was a major setback, and it unsettled the lad. He will know himself he has plenty to work on but as a young player he has a chance to develop and learn from that. It is up to him now to try to turn some good from bad. For the others that also made poor decisions during that game (and throughout the season) there should be no way back.
  23. There is no doubt that all his business operations were in freefall at the time and he will firmly believe that he had to do what he done to save his company. It now appears that he has started to recover and I wonder if he has it in him to feel any guilt over his actions. Would that guilt be enough for him to step in to the mix again to try to make amends? For the most part of his involvement with our club the memories I have were fantastic, great players and teams, strong managers (mostly) and some belting days out but I always thought of him as someone I would dislike. At AGM's etc I always thought he was ignorant and aloof so that makes me wonder how much he would feel about his actions during the latter part of his time with us. We complained about how he did not defend our club enough during his time but the last few years have shown us that maybe there were some battles being fought (and won). At the moment there appears to be no defence whatsoever for our club or fans from the current board. I agree with you Murray would be a better option than King/Ashley, it may not be the right solution but it would be better than what we have.
  24. I think it is worth taking a chance with the lad for next season. Being on loan may be good in some respects in that they are involved in competitive games however I am not sure that they are fully settled in their respective teams (especially if they are still doing part of their training with us). Working full time with the first team could give us positive progression. I get frustrated with the amount of our youths who get released and then go onto find success (Dorrans is a prime example at the moment). I would just like a manager to have the balls to take a chance on some of our younger players and give them a decent chance.
  25. Agreed. The fashionable thought is that playing against older opposition will help their development? It also seems to be an an easy excuse for accepting defeat. For me it is more important that they develop a winning mentality first. It is badly lacking amongst most of our first team squad, in the boardroom and it could be said amongst some of our support,
