  1. Fuck the RST. How many times do I need to say it. They don't speak for me.
  2. This is becoming a fucking joke. Are they now telling us that to say no surrender is sectarian? Does that mean that anyone who sings or says it at the football can be jailed? What about the folk who have it written on their scarves? I really can't get my head around how much they are trying to take away from our club and us as fans.
  3. Since he is allowed his opinion then I am allowed mine. Tom English is a cunt and I think he should be forced to resign his post as he writes a lot of pish.
  4. Why do some cunts just come on here to moan about anything to do with Rangers. Try shutting the fuck up and supporting the manager and the team.
  5. I think he is arguing the point that its not our first title as a new club as some people outside Rangers would have you believe. He is saying here we have unbroken history. I do not think he is making the argument that we should be singing 55 titles and still going strong. It is still 54 titles until we win the top league again. 54 times champion of your country is what we sing about not 54 times champion of your country and one minor league title.
  6. The former Rangers club known as "Oldco", why are they still writing shit like this. Are they really too stupid to understand what went on?
  7. http://epetitions.di...petitions/42143 Come on folks lets get another push on this.
  8. He's a wee bit upset eh? Get it right up him.
  9. How long before those cunts try to hijack the poll. Not because they think Poopers goal was better but because they hate to see us win anything. Obsession. Mark my words.
  10. Here is the article. Please don't give the site hits. No longer, when someone asks me in an aggrieved voice when I last actually paid my way into a football match, will I have to start flannelling to cover my pampered media tracks.

Rangers fans 'happily bantered with one another' despite the outcome. Picture: Sammy Turner/SNS Custom byline text: Graham Spiers Not after Saturday lunchtime at Tannadice, where I purchased my ticket and entered the visitors' end to sit with 400 Rangers supporters who would become increasingly frustrated as the afternoon wore on. It was a fascinating experience being back among "the bears". And I'll say this straight up; despite being well trounced on the pitch, and mercilessly goaded and baited from the packed Dundee United stands, the mood among this Rangers travelling support remained impressively buoyant and fairly good-natured. There is a stereotype of a Rangers fan, particularly in light of the past 12 months' events – a po-faced and resentful creature, not in any way someone upon whom joy easily settles. Well, such a fan was nowhere to be seen on Saturday. On the contrary, these Rangers supporters happily bantered with one another, while intermittently sticking two fingers up at the disparaging chants raining down on them from the other stands. Did "the boycott" work? To a large degree, yes, in that there might normally have been 5000 Rangers fans at this game. And yet, the 400-odd who did go to Tannadice made for quite a decent throng, with one or two of them giving me a fairly tart reason for choosing to be present. "I've been following Rangers week in, week out for decades and suddenly a guy comes along and tells me I can't go to the football?" one said, in some indignation, at Charles Green. Another put it more bluntly: "A boycott? Can't be arsed with that, mate." I got there early – at least 45 minutes before kick-off – and watched as the dribs and drabs of Rangers fans came through the turnstiles and gathered in their seats. The make-up of this travelling support was fascinating: quite a few men with their children, a lot of teenage Rangers fans, plus I thought a preponderance of older fans, of men well into their 60s and beyond. Another group which stood out for me were the young "love birds", teenage sweet-hearts, with both boy and girl wearing their Rangers colours. Seated in front of me and behind were just such couples, though I can't say they were entirely consumed by the game. What seemed, to me, to be proportionately missing, was the section of supporters in the 30-40 age bracket, who, you might say, are currently the more politically-active Rangers fans. To me, they seemed to be down in number on Saturday, having obeyed the boycott message. As we all sat there, the Dundee United fans sang their ditties of abuse: about liquidation, zombies, "you're not Rangers anymore" and the rest. Given the traumatic last 12 months, this is the sort of stuff the Rangers support is going to have to get used to, and live with, for years to come. And let's face it, had liquidation struck Celtic, Dundee United or any other club, these Rangers fans would have been at the front of the queue in terms of their own goading and lampooning. There almost seemed to be an acceptance of this, as a basic law of human nature. Sitting amid all this I have to confess I was impressed by those around me. There is definitely a type of Rangers fan today who has had to consume an almighty slice of humble pie – an experience many of them have scarcely known before – but who is gamely getting on with supporting his (or her) team. You still meet the "this is fun" brigade – those who will not admit to their dire fate and who, a tad self-consciously, try to play up the "fun" of facing East Stirlingshire at home followed by Annan Athletic away. But Saturday confirmed to me that many Rangers fans are getting on with these tribulations, unbowed in their love of their club. And I just don't see how you can knock this. It remains weird, even after all these months, standing among Rangers fans and watching so poor a team as Ally McCoist's on Saturday. As the game wore on, and Rangers so obviously lacking in many areas, a sullenness set in among their fans which hadn't been apparent for the opening 70 minutes, even at 2-0 down. It was as if a bomb-alert had been announced when Jonny Russell made it 3-0 to United after 77 minutes: up people got and started streaming for the exits. Two lads next to me, who had spent much of the afternoon teasing me about my love-hate relationship with their club, didn't even bid me goodbye; in an instant they were gone, one merely looking up to give me a cursory wave before their heads disappeared down the exit tunnel. We piled on to the streets outside at the final whistle, with jubilant United fans pouring past us. I like Dundee United fans, I find them a good-natured bunch. But the Rangers fans hate them. "Aw, Spiersy, what's the score, eh, eh?" a Dundonian crowed at me as I headed for my car. I suddenly felt very confused.
  11. I love gazza and its true he is one of the most generous guys you could ever meet. This stuff was never reported here though it was only ever the negatives. I feel so sad for the way things have turned out for him. He's not a bad guy, just has some demons. A true footballing genius. God I'm almost in tears here thinking about him.
  12. By the sound of it Green and Traynor have big plans for the media side of it. Our own TV rights, Traynor having a phone in with guests including Green and Ally and allowing anyone to phone in and question them, Ipad apps, a warts and all book which Traynor has already started writing along with Green. Green says Traynor has some amazing ideas that other clubs either cannot do or don't have the bottle to do. Can't wait. All in all was a good night with some good questions and answers.
  13. Mentioned also that a deal can be done to loan or buy Newcastle players. Said if a Newcastle player wants to join us and both sides agree the Newcastle contract can be terminated to allow them to join us as a free agent.
  14. Don't know if anybody mentioned but he said we will have a media centre that everyone will want. Our own tv shows and radio phone ins etc. green said can you imagine a Celtic supporter calling in to speak to him and he develops a stutter at £2 a minute. The obsessed will be lining our pockets.
  15. Green convinced that when he leaves we will not be playing in Scotland.
  16. Does anybody know where to find statistics for the EPL season tickets? I'd love to know where we sit compared to the big clubs down there. Bet we outdo most of them.
  17. I want to see the shitty paint one again from last year. I near shit my pants with laughter when I saw that picture. The guy had put so much effort in and thought everyone on here was going to praise his artwork and it got slated big time. Funniest thing ever on RM.
  18. How about this for an idea? RM organise a group of members to turn up before the next home game with iPads and/or smartphones linked to the petition and get the fans as they are outside the ground to sign it. I'm sure with the right people there we could more than double the amount of signatures we already have. Any thoughts?
  19. £700 for my ticket in Manchester. Worth every penny. Started off in tears when they played the foo fighters song 'best of you' elated when watching the game then gutted at the final whistle.
