Just a thought re the recent singing, if we changed some of the words, but kept the tune, would we reach a happy medium with our support and the mhedia eg. Hullo Hullo we are the Rangers Boys, Hullo Hullo you'll know us by our noise, what the (f88k) is all your noise, surrender cause you're beat, cause we are the Glasgow Rangers Boys. (Man U use who the f88k are Man United without any censure)

Great read, I am truly ready for the fight……………..WATP

Olympic Games - Osborne offers tax break to lure Bolt to London Olympic champion Usain Bolt and other overseas athletes will be able to compete tax-free in this year's London Diamond League event at the Olympic Stadium after George Osborne agreed to a "one-off" exemption. Reuters – Thu, Feb 7, 2013 09:03 GMT Email0 Print Eurosport - 10 - Usain Bolt - At the London Olympics, Bolt won the 100m gold medal with a time of 9.63 seconds, before a successful defence of his 200m gold medal in a time of 19.32s. Bolt …more was then a part of Jamaica’s world-record breaking 4x100m relay team to cap off another incredible Olympic display.less

Bears, With the news that HMRC simply ignore legal process and have a blank cheque to pursue Rangers until they get the result the festering old boy network requires and in the process destroy 140 years of historical sporting culture in a land many of them probably have never stepped foot in, is it time to be the nation again, that stood against him, you know the rest. As one of the many thousands who were in Manchester a few years ago, I have seen at first hand the power of the Rangers family, let’s take this fight to London, not as a disorganised rabble, but as a highly passionate and articulate football fan base, let’s get on every single media channel and get the message across to a wider and even global audience, let’s be that itch you can’t quite reach, the pain that won’t go away, let’s ask the questions about how many non IR35 contractors they are using, who employ off shore companies based in the Isle of Man etc to avoid TAX! 100,000+ Bears at the gates of No 10 & the Headquarters of the HMRC, now keep that out of the news. Thoughts…….

Mate, As ever an excellent piece of writing "PS don't tell them your name". :-)

I think there is very much a need for a response, indeed I think a Stakeholder map of the links between those employed within positions at the SPL and external bodies and their paymasters from the East End needs to be presented to UEFA, etc highlighting the conflict's of interest at each and every junture and how the political republican poison has tainted Scottish Football.

An excellent and erudite article from D'Artagnan highlighting the shallow existence of people who hide behind Social Media or the anonymity of the Internet to peddle their own brands poison of the vilest kind. I find it astonishing that anybody takes anything these people say seriously; in the case of Ms Haggerty she lists the following qualifications “qualified with an HND in Practical Journalism and a Diploma in Journalism from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ)”, hardly an honours degree from one of the recognised seats of learning. So in all honesty I would doubt she is equipped with the skills to produce anything of note, ergo a lack of original content and the constant jumping on any current bandwagon going to stay in the public domain and feed the insecurities therein. In my opinion we simply laugh at the lack of talent on display and ignore/unfollow as appropriate, like a bad smell it will soon disappear. To give to an insight in to the small amoebic world of Ms Haggerty, here is brief Twitter snapshot of the Haggerty world and my reply, make of it what you will. Angela Haggerty‏@AngelaHaggerty Father's copy of #RFCDownfall arrived in the post today, that'll be me daughter of the year now. There should be a Daughters Day... 21 Sep @AngelaHaggerty how sad u would even Tweet that, my god, children dying in the street, global poverty & that's made U a star #retards 11:02 PM - 21 Sep 12 ·Embed this Tweet In the case of Phil McGillivan or as he likes to be known Phil - The Failed Journalist, he’s guilty of something no matter what he says, nobody ups sticks virtually instantly and changes their name without a reason, I’m not into guessing, but Phil knows why don’t you Phil? In life there is one golden rule that always comes true “what goes around, comes around”, so don’t get a crick in your neck from looking over your shoulder fella. Like before don't feed this guys ego, educate people on his past and his desire to go back to the horrors of the past, he'll soon be ostracised by all.

Very interesting post, one thing we shouldn’t forget here and in my mind the most important, there is good money to be made in “alleged racism”, people like Piarra Powar and the rest of the (close relatives or friends) and people employed earn a good living out of this. They need to self-perpetuate themselves or no money and that equals no pay packet at the end of the month, ergo the bandwagon rolls on. It would be totally ridiculous to say that racism does not exist, however the acronym “FARE” seems wholly inappropriate in this instance as the links this particular organisation has to the East End are glaringly obvious and well documented, which in my opinion puts them in a “conflict of interest” situation and as such they should be challenged at each and every juncture and the validity of information should be vetted to the nth degree, challenged and then re challenged. We have arrived at this battle late, but the fight begins now, we will win this war over the bigots, the manipulated liberal hanger-on’s with their hidden agendas and the nameless cowards who pleasure themselves with anonymity. A blue dawn is just around the corner and like the song says “I’m dealing with a memory that never forgets” and we won’t, because WATP

I used to sell beer, what's football again and do I need a bat?

Paranoia..............Blimey...................Can't say I would agree, however I will bow to your superior medical knowledge Muhahahahahahahahahaaha!

Just read this on Yahoo Sports re The sports stars who decided to play for free – or even paid for the privilege Ally McCoist The Rangers manager reacted to the club's finanical meltdown by immediately offering his services for nothing. "He was one of the first people to turn to Duff and Phelps and say, 'Don't pay me any salary'," said new club chief Charles Green. "Ally worked for free and I don't know any manager who has gone into their boss's office and said, 'I will work for free'." And given that Rangers have lost one and drawn three of their first eight games against the part-time nobodies of Scottish Division Three, it looks like the Glasgow giants have got exactly what they paid for. Pretty offensive on a number of fronts, "part-time nobodies of Scottish Division 3", I'm sure they will take this well in Div 3 and "It looks like the Glasgow giants have got exactly what they paid for", cheap below the belt shot at Ally. Do I smell an aroma of Bheast :-) lingering in this article??

Hi Mate, Thanks for the reply, have been doing a lot of research into various media channels and a common theme keeps appearing, that of one sided republican journalists being ensconced in positions of direct media touch points with the public. Phil Mc pretty much runs the NUJ in the UK and Ireland, Alex Thomson is C4's top guy, there are many other connections to both who hold journalistic control in some of the UK's mainstream media. I like you do not want to prescribe to any form of paranoia, but facts are facts....

I have just listened to the full Craig Whyte interview and immediately realised that this bloke is a proper chancer and his life of excess and freedom will probably be cut short in the not too distant future. On a more irritating note I was very impressed by how Chris McLaughlin was able to lead and put words into a supposedly experienced business man’s mouth, his use of the phrase “financial basket case” to punctuate virtually each paragraph spoken by Whyte was extraordinary and I’m fairly confident that he is of the hooped persuasion, a fact confirmed when Phil “run away from my past because I’m a dodgy moral bankrupt and will change my name to hide this fact” praised him pretty instantly on his Twitter account, so there must be a connection to this rodent and all the other peddlers of sanctimonious bullshit, AT will have no doubt been masturbating furiously for at least the first 5/10 seconds of the thirty minute interview. The overarching theme running through Whyte’s spiel, however must not be overlooked, Rangers were brought to their knees by narcissistic idiots, greed merchants and a Government department, who would not shit on their own doorstep if it solved world poverty e.g. Vodafone, Boots and the BBC to name but a few. We need to venture very very carefully in the brave new world that is Rangers, danger lurks under every rock!

Factual and articulate as ever, great read WD fella

What the fuck, it's a piece of light hearted banter, taken opportunistically for a laugh, FFS

Yup, the always 60% less made me piss myself, always in our shadow even by accident WATP

Chaps, Came across this over the weekend in a TK Maxx bargain store, pure magic and totally Self-explanatory Enjoy

As a expat of my native Scotland I sat down last night to watch the football on BBC Alba, I was nervous but excited to see The Rangers or The Glasgow Rangers whatever they are called now, which in all honesty is of little relevance as the will always be “The Teddy Bears” from my time’s in the stands with my uncles during my infancy and formative years. The game kicks off and suddenly I’m aware of no shirt names, no familiar faces and a style of play that doesn’t resemble the games of my memories, the players look too young, too nervous and as the game progresses I know that this is going to be a far tougher game than I had ever expected and that there is every chance that we will lose the game. One hundred and twenty minutes plus twelve and it’s all over, I take a swig of beer and realise that I’m not angry with the team, the manager or even a shabby refereeing performance, but sad, so sad that a tear falls from my eye and runs down my cheek and I think to myself they have really done a number on the Bears. It will be a long and torturous road before the team I’ve followed for more decades than I care to remember is back in its rightful place. Will I give up on them? Never, and I’m minded of the story from primary school of Robert the Bruce and the spider and suddenly I feel better, so “if at first you don’t succeed, then try try and try again”. The memories come flooding back, Davy Cooper’s style on the wing, Gazza’s exploits against the hoops and ultimately John Greig holding the European Cup Winners Cup in 72. So Mr Lawell, Mr Regan, Mr Doncaster and whoever else do your worse, but be minded we will be back, bigger, better, stronger and ready to heap defeat on all before us, so enjoy your dog day in the sun. I/we know what’s really going on and what goes around comes around. WATP

VB, Great article, we need to get ride of these idiots ASAP, I wish there was someway a vote of no confidence could be kicked off by someone in the Scottish Football circles, get all the elements you highlighted into the open.

It seems to be very A La Mode at the moment to name and shame, so I thought after the months of horseshit that has dogged my beloved Rangers I would compile my list of contenders to be named and shamed: 1. Alex Salmond First Minister of Scotland, who professes to be the protector of all things Scottish, total tosh, the bloke is the First Minister of the jolly up, to be found at Wimbledon or any other gig where there are free tickets or camera’s and the opportunity to mix with his chums from the South. I’m expecting a very high profile during the Olympics for AS (might even put £50 on him appearing in a photograph with Ali) . I am not naive and understand that he cannot show any allegiance to any particular football team, however he could have offered to be a mediator between all parties involved and acted in the best interests of 10’s of thousands of fellow Scots and added a modicum of common sense during the feeding frenzy of hatred. Shame on you! 2. Shona Robison Minister for Sport, really! I can’t get this one at all, football is a sport, Rangers play football and the revenue generated goes into a pot to create more football at the grass roots level, to be as anonymous as her is a joke a very bad joke! Scottish football is now in free fall and may never recover, wasn’t it Nero who fiddled whilst Rome burned? Shame on You! 3. Peter Lawwell, the chief executive of the Scottish Premier League and Celtic, for his utter lunacy in suggesting Celtic could flourish without Rangers and then heading down south to make sure he was at the front of the line for SKY TV money without having the necessary authority to do so and fundamentally shitting on the other clubs in the SPL. The man’s own personal agenda has had a green tint to it from day one and surely one of the most blatant conflicts of interest of all time. If the title awarded in 2012 was tainted, anything from now on in will be better displayed in Disneyland than the trophy cabinet, as everything will be Mickey Mouse (no offence Mickey). Shame on you! 4. Stewart Regan, the current Chief Executive of the Scottish Football Association. This is a simple one, a man so far out of his depth, he’s become a joke, he lacks any business acumen or indeed any honour, found guilty of lying in recent weeks by SFL, I’m embarrassed that a man of this ineptness represent our national game, please please do the right thing resign! And stop hiding behind Peter Lawwell like a second rate lackey doing his dirty work for him. Go back to beer selling you appeared to at least be able to hold your own in that environment. Shame on you! 5.Neil Doncaster, Chief Executive of the Scottish Premier League, even less able to do the dirty work of Peter Lawwell than flunky number one, superb ability to trip over tongue and talk bollox 99.9% of the time, again time to move on, possibly back into the security industry, where you can legally batter people over the head and get away with it. Shame on you! 6.Finally shame on us Scots, for allowing two second/third rate Englishmen with dubious footballing credentials to totally fuck up Scottish Football, surely in the rich history of our game we could have appointed men/women of honour, men/women of pride and most importantly from Scotland, who know the idiosyncrasies of the culture, the game etc?? Shame on all of us Rant over :-)

Alex Salmond is the first minister of the jolly up! If there's a free ticket he'll have it, as his recent Wimbledon junket proves. He's done five eighths of f**k all to help the 10's of thousands of proud Scot's and Rangers fans from being shat on by his pals in Central Government, namely HMRC, it's clear to see that he's just like all the other Politician's nose firmly planted in the trough and feeding merrily, wasn't it Nero who fiddled whilst Rome burned? The similarities are strikingly similar.......

Salmond is a disgrace all this bollox of wanting what's best for Scotland, let HMRC (London centric)shit from a great height all over Rangers, has continued to hide away, how many thousands of "True", "Honest" and "Hard Working" Rangers supporters lifes will his ignorance effect 10's maybe 100's of thousands. Ironic how's he's always at the cup finals though. I hope he and his sports minister foxtrot oscar, I have lost all respect for the attention seeking Whitehall puppet.

I'm a recruitment person, I'll find a proper exec board not bent c**ts
