Bitter Lemon apparently made a point about adressing the scum crowd at the tainted title presentation about 'unbroken history'. Make no mistake about it, this despicable bigot is a poison against our club and heritage.
Sooner we rid ourselves of the nice guy imposter-of-a-football-manager the better. 'We are the people' says McCoist, as he fetches his clubs. Disgrace.

The fact these boys aren't full time professionals and we are is absolutely relevant.
Alot of the guys we've came up in the 3rd division have been significantly overweight, i'm talking about left-backs with love-handles poking through their shirts.
We have the 2nd biggest wage bill in the country and a squad full of full-time pros & couches, the best training facilities from here to London and the biggest draw, resources and crowd outside of the tims.
The difference between us & part timers should be the same sort of gap between Real Madrid and the teams in the league below. Or England and San Marino.

Our defenders couldn't mark a bingo card

they certainly aren't.
Casilles is injured, and hugely overrated anyway, so tonight Man U are stronger in the GK department.
Rio & Vidic is an established partnership with experience of multiple league wins, a wealth of CL experience including a CL trophy. Carvalho is finished, Pepe is tough but a wildcard. Ramos is overrated and naturally a right back, has been woeful defending set pieces this season. Marcelo is about on a par with Rafeal, perhaps better going forward, but netiehr are outstanding going back. Arbeloa was a Liverpool flop and nothing on Evra.
I was Carricks biggest critic for eyars but over the last year he's really came on to a game, ive been hugely impressed with him. Not in the class of Alonso, but each will influence the game. Di Maria & Ashely Young are probably about on a par, Di Maria is more talented, but blows hot n cold, not to mention spends half the game rolling around the deck giving his best Busquests impression. At least Ashley Young waits until hes in the box
Ronaldo is a class apart from anyone on the pitch, but RVP & Rooney are better players than the likes of Benzema, Higuain & Ozil.
All in all, i think it's pretty evenly matched, i think Real do have slightly more talent, but their not as robust, nor have had anything near the consistency and form of United this season.

Can't wait, going to be a real tactical battle.
Ronaldo's bread and butter is on the left wing and he plays much of his football there.
If he isolates Rafeal he'll slaughter him. If i were Fergy, i'd use Valencia as a RM, he's played the Right Wing Back role often enough so asking him to man mark Ronaldo and protect Rafeal at RB seems logical. Valencias not a defender though, so his main priority will be matching Ronaldo for pace & strength - he's one of the few players in world football who probably can. Getting skinned because he can't tackle as well as a defender is a problem though, but when doubled up with Rafeal it's there best chance to keep the worlds best player quiet. Phil Jones recently did a good man marking job on Bale, but i think he picked up a knock, plus i think CR would rip him to shreds anyway.
If that is Fergusons approach, it might be countered by Mourinho. He might wing switch Ronaldo so one attack he's taking on Evra - it's unlikely Valencia would wing switch to match him, it would cause chaos to Man U's shape. Or he may just give Ronaldo a free role all together, but in doing so, it often has repercussions on defensive shape - and he'll need Ronaldo to really pull his weight in getting back to protect the away goals.
I think RVP & Rooney can really hurt Madrid aswell, more so than Benzema/higuian/Ozil & Di Maria can hurt United superior back 4 provided they keep CR quiet. RVP & Rooney can match up physically with Pepe & Ramos, which they don't like. Varane is a little inexperienced, Marcelo & Coentrau are horrible defenders, Arbeloa is average at best.

McCoist as a manager has been a huge let down. Great ambassador for the club through the years and will always love guy... all them ore reason why it's so painful to see him jumping about the touchline dressed like a gypo in a trackie while his team is nothing short of clueless, tactically & creatively, no leadership, motivation, nothing.

well i sort of interpreted that line to mean we're belting out 'the billy boys' once more - 50'000 roaring at ibrox like we didi n the glory days, rather than the line to mean singing the "exact" words.

hang us? fatal decision?
worst case scenario the committe doesn't quite achieve pushing through new lyircs and half the stand belts out the old lyrics. In which case, it will just be a mish-mash heard from the stands, and if we were fined Charles Green would fight it vigoursly claiming the fans are singing new, clean lyrics. To think this song could result in a doomsday scenario is extreme.
Progress is a slow process, i'm confident that a new clean version can be pushed throgh and in 10 years we'll wonder why we didn't sing a clean version since the very beginning.

i've been following him for a while

good stuff, we should arranged "signature blitzes"
basically synch Rangers Media up with other rangers forums for organised signature blitz's where we say, Thursday evening 8pm-9pm we all get together to sign the peitition, a couple of times each if we have permission from family members to use their names & emails, tweet about it, try to get it trending, etc... and aim for a thousand or so signatures within that hour.

i agree boss, but i also agree with the original point you challenged - it needs to stay "we are the billy boys". Making wholesale changes will just never take off, far too many fans, including msyelf, just can't get on board with the wishy wash suggestions that include "rangers boys" "they tried to kill us but our club will never die, we are the billy billy boys"....
what we need to remember is that this song is engrained into the minds of fans like us for years, actually learning, remembering and sticking to new lyrics is a long shot. I think changing the offending line is doable, but changes beyond that i just don't think it will ever happen.

Rangers FC official facebook page has 285k likes...
I doubt very much the official page will post this though - i think that Green doesn't want to get too involved in this because in a sense he doesn't really feel it's his place.

the problem has probably been too man of the petitions kicking about - it seems as though this is the one the likes of Chris Graham are going with, so once everybody is behind the same petition & perhaps and effort to trend it on twitter will get the ball rolling.

it's astonishing we can play the side sitting TOP in the TOP division at home, and completely play them off the pitch - but then we go away, and have to try and play/win ugly against the BOTTOM team in the country and we can't do it.
it's something McCoist needs to figure out. I think he will.
but lets not overreact, these games may aswell be friendlies, because we'll win the 3rd division by a country mile. It's the performance that really must improve.
As for the Ally out brigade... what do you really expect to see happen? Bring in who? And he still has the same squad for at least a year and a half anyway. In Ally trust.

Me personally as a Ger is embarrassed by todays result but some fans on here or so called fans get me riled up. Yes if results keep up away from home Mccoist should maybe step aside but to sit and read fans telling him to fuck off is a fucking joke. This guys a legend and a legend should never be told to fuck ff he deserves more respect than that. Frankly fans who abuse our own legends need to go and stay at home and shout at the tele cause i personally dont want you to come to ibrox because your kind of support isnt welcome. Yes super ally will have to think is he the right man for the job and if not im sure he will do the right thing but never ever tell a rangers legend to fuck off. Rant over
