Since it is that time of the year and we have had a wee preview of a couple of tracksuits and a training top I thought we should have a thread where the speculation and ideas could be posted. Any inside information and sneak previews would also be good. There is always huge interest regarding the new strips and we have a good few guys on here who are talented at designing projected templates, so it would be good to see new ideas for the 2014/15 kits. I will kick it off with something I rattled up earlier. We seem to have had many retro-style kits in recent years with one glaring omission. I read that there will be some kind of collar and perhaps buttons on the new kit (would have preferred v-neck myself) so it is somewhat based on hearsay. Also, the 80s seem to be having something of a revival in the cultural zeitgeist, with music and fashion all mirroring that particular decade. With this in mind... Puma, Rangers... Give us the pinstripes!
Many thanks to Elfideldo for last night's show. His eloquent and comprehensive piece on the recent youth games and the overall set up at Auchenhowie was a welcome respite from the ongoing political shenanigans which are dominating our club at this time. Due to technical difficulties beyond Fox's control, the show was not archived. Please accept our apologies. If nothing major breaks on the news front today, it is our intention to have a football dominated show tonight
First things first, before anybody bleats and whines about this being in the Bears Den it is relevant in here as it is about the Rangers support in general and posters on here (and other forums). I'm fully aware I'm not exactly the most popular guy on here and this post will no doubt further cement that but theres a few things that are really starting to get on my tits with regards to the supporters of OUR club. So without much further ado lets begin. Supporters Groups Where do you guys get off? Whilst I think most of them have their hearts in the right place is there really any need for 6 different supporters groups all wanting their five minutes of fame? Sons of Struth, VB, RST, RSA (X2), UB all make points occasionally that I'm sure most of us will all agree on. Some might not like the leadership of certain groups or the past actions of others but c'mon to fuck guys. Heres a novel idea. Instead of working away in loads of wee groups that the majority (and I do mean the majority) of Rangers fans couldn't give a flying fuck about. You are all pretty much irrelevant to most fans. We see statement after statement with your names attached but theres never any action from any of you. I'd love to see an exhaustive list of achievments of these groups. Do us all a favour. You say you want to help push our club forward and get back to our rightful place at the top table of football? Then put your petty fucking egos aside and work together. No doubt someone will come along and blame it all on Dingwall. I'm far from a fan of Dingwall but there are others in our support who are just as divisive. We are Rangers fans. At the end of the day I don't give a fuck about anyones politics, religions or sexual orientation. If they are a bluenose then thats good enough for me. I dont give a flying fuck if you met some no mark Norther Irish Politician for a chat on parades or if you went to great bother to organise a lovely wee publicity stunt that saw your members regularly appear on TV (invariably with nothing more than soundbites which change fuck all) Rangers isn't your wee plaything. She belongs to all of us. and our Fathers, and our Grandfathers. Stop speaking for your 200 members and work together to speak for the majority. Then and only then can we truly affect change at Ibrox. Harrassment of other Fans I've only posted hee for about 18 months but in that time I've seen some fantastic posters be forced off the board. Some that I agree with, some that I wouldn't agree with if they told me the time of day, but bluenoses nonetheless. Nobodies opinion is worth more than anyone else. This used to be a pretty decent forum where you could get a decent chat with bears from all walks of lfe and all corners of the globe. Now? Now its turned into a horrific little network of trolls, liars, fantasists and bullies. There are plenty guys on here I regularly disagree with on here (eh 1st_Jan_1994) but never should it descend into personal attacks on posters or in one instance their wifes religious beliefs. I have nothing against anyone telling me I'm wrong and showing me why, Thats the whole point of a forum but when it gets to the point where some posters only real contribution to the board is one word posts calling others 'prick' or 'cunt' or 'fenian' it gets to the point where you wonder why you even bother. If you dont agree with someone debate the point with them dont disregard their opinion and start throwing petty insults around like some fucking 8 year old. Christ, I've even had one poster on here (Resting in my account) bring up an incident from when I was 15/16 (I'm 27 in a few weeks) in an attempt to humiliate me. Sadly it didnt go well for him as after I finally remembered the mildly amusing episode from my school days I went on to share several other highly embarrasing episodes from a similar time. The very fact someone felt the need to bring up something as innocuous as me wearing a snorkel at school for a laugh (and getting plenty I might add)shows me just how highly some of the Rangers support thinks of their 'brethren'. Child Abuse Can we just fucking drop this. To make light of child rape in the manner a sizable section of our support do frankly sickens me to the pit of my stomach. Quick hypothetical question to all the parents here. Your child gets raped. Would you be quite happy for people to use it as a point scoring exercise on a FOTTBALL forum or twitter/facebook? What about having 50,000 singing a song essentially mocking the rape of YOUR child? Not like the sound of that? No? Didn't really think so. Its utterly fucking disgusting. Time for another wee story here. One of my closest friends was sexually abused by his/her mothers partner as a child (He's a bear by the way) and this is something that still affects their life to this very minute (25 years after the abuse stopped). If you feel THAT strongly about the cover up that apparently took place at Celtic then make a complaint to the cops. Dont fucking crow about it on twitter like some kind of moral fucking arbiter. You're just a cunt who uses the sexual exploitation of children as a punchline. Just for reference, some of the other groups currently being/previously investigated for cover up of the abuse of children The Royal Air Force The Boys Brigade The Church of England ITV I've never seen a single post on here by any of you pricks who are so opposed to it you need to mention it every third post. But its nothing to do with point scoring. Its almost as if you are obsessed with the thought of child abuse you sick creepy bastards. I truly hope those who I speak about (and you'll know who you are) never have kids ever as I don't know if someone whos thoughts on football instantly turn to child abuse is the kind of person who should EVER be left alone with kids. Boardroom Stuff This one will be short and sweet. Almost none of us have a fucking clue what is going on. Shut the fuck up and stop pretending like you do. If you actually do know what is going on in the boardroom then heres a novel idea. Give us the fucking truth. No soundbites. no teases. no smoke and mirrors. Give us the facts. Who knows, it might even keep you in a job come the end of October. So, no doubt I've probably pissed most of you off now (I actually planned to make this a LOT longer but decided to stop wasting my time on folk who probably struggle to spell their own name so I'll wrap it up here with a slightly more positive note. I may get the old ban hammer for this. If so, Its been fun. If not, then I'll happily back up any of the points I've made above.
I think there is an element of jealousy with some even if they won't admit it.....others seem to think he should answer all their questions and befriend them on social media like he owes them something! I think some have fair criticisms of him but some take it too far and distrupt thread after thread attacking the guy!
A few months ago I would have bought this book, however the way TRS handled the alleged story about Imran and the fact none of them could answer me why they didnt go to the club and keep it in-house for the benefit of the club, says to me they are just as self serving as many others. I am disgusted in the way they have attacked Craig Mathers before he even began and its clear, like some well known others, they only want "Rangers Men" involved.....but their "rangers men"..... No Thanks....
I've never been offended by any songs or chants, but when it's patently obvious that certain songs/chants have been deemed to be legally offensive, why the fuck can't certain sections of our support not see that at some point they will be targeted by the polis for uttering said songs/chants? Call me naive, but warnings are fucking warnings.
TBK have won the race to take over Rangers, and will be announced as Preferred Bidders tomorrow. Final details have been ironed out over the weekend and agreed with D&P. Ticketus are involved, but Kennedy is not, at this stage anyway. The BK will now proceed with D&P to agree a CVA with creditors before the deadlines for further footballing sanctions to be imposed. Whytes shareholding to be secured In exchange for him not being sued for his PG by Ticketus. CVA likely to agreed as talks already taken place between D&P and HMRC and HMRC are not going to be too difficult to deal with, and as they will have the major say, this will see the CVA go through. The club will NOT be liquidated!
not really they picked the best bid tbk then asked for 500k. now tbk are gone they will pick the next best and repeat. tbk can still buy us just not for 2 weeks.
Can you believe these thick fucks are buying every word I'm saying?!?! FFS, this is gonna be easier than I thought!
All right, Paul. We're happy to announce your and your mates' bid is our preferred option. Now just to sort out this exclusivity fee and we'll get moving...
Just standard practice here, Paul. No big deal, let's just get it moving so we can make this announcement!
C'mon, Paul! You got'em right where you want'em! Let's just bag this bird and get on back to our chicken fry.
Celtic get fined Celtic get fined again Celtic officially officially not allowed to sing most of their songbook Rangers resolve tax case I love you santa
