  1. What would you prefer us to do? Exit whatever stadium it is we win it at in silence and go to our beds early that night like fuck all happened?

    Show class and dignity, in the grand scheme of things it is meaningless. By all means enjoy it but it is nothing compared to winning one of the big honours. Going by some peoples reactions on here i am expecting a Rugby Park type celebrations and parades at Ibrox. Let's get real here.

  2. Myth????

    What I'm seeing every week is 16,17 and 18 year olds playing for us(at my age,I refer to them as kids)

    And,the chosen method of stopping us is,on the whole,brutal e.g. Templeton's weekly treatment.

    Then stop going to see the youth team, come to Ibrox and see the first team, we have many seasoned professionals showcasing their talents.

    Rangers players have always been targets, that is nothing new.

  3. Its not a particularly fantastic deal. Arsenal have said as much themselves. There aren't many other 'big guns' who have sold the naming rights to their stadium. Infact I cant really think of ANYONE else outside Germany that would be considered a 'big gun' that have sold their rights. So it brings me back to my original point. '£4m isn't a lot for a club their size' based on?

    I was talking about the £5.5m for shirt sponsorship when other similar sized clubs have at least double that.

  4. Based on? Is there a formula which determines how much clubs should earn from naming rights relative to their 'size'?

    Arsenal received £100m over 15 years for the naming rights and shirt sponsorship so it looks like its about right 'for a club their size'. It does mean that, if this is true, then we are punching above our weight in terms of what receive from the rights to Ibrox.

    Possibly mate. Could Hearts and Tynecastle command the same fee as Barcelona and the Camp Nou? Obviously not.

    Arsenal get *£5.5m per season for shirt sponsorship, that would only leave just over £1m for stadium naming rights if £100m over 15 years is correct, no?

  5. You're not a Rangers fan because you lace every single post you make with malice towards Rangers fans.

    You're not a Rangers fan because you have repeatedly insulted different groups of fans, just in this thread, in this thread.

    You're not a Rangers fan, because in two years on this site, no one I am in contact with has ever heard you say a single positive thing about Rangers or Rangers fans.

    You're not a Rangers fan because you feel the need to attack and insult Rangers fans who are trying to do something good.

    You're not a Rangers fan because you ignore all the clear, salient points in Rangers fans' posts and just reply to ones you can attempt to spin - this is a typical tactic of the great unwashed.

    You are not a Rangers fan because your default stance, response, tone, attitude, to Rangers fans on this forum is to attack and insult.

    You're not a Rangers fan because you are clearly out of touch with Rangers support, which tells us all that you haven't attended a game in a long time, if ever, and that you do not have many/any Rangers fans in your (probably very limited) circle of friends/family.

    Most of all though, you're not a Rangers fan because the very idea that some form of our greatest chant might return has you biting, and snarling, and frothing and foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog.

  6. Charlie Mann is a long term contributor to BBC Radio Scotland's output, probably 25 years worth. He originates from Huntly and is an avid supporter of the Aberdeen. He is not a lonely Don at Pacific Quay, big Rheinhart Gordon, Liam McLeod, Jonathon Sutherland, Michael Grant, ......... etc are chorusing the Nothern Lights too. Charlie used to be a lot more senior but he took a 3 year sabatical as Hearts owner, Vladimir Romanov's Public Relations Officer. Jim Traynor was NOT the first BBC Scotland employee to take the poacher turned gamekeeper journey. Before his sabatical, Charlie regularly flashed his Dandy Don credentials by regularly sticking it on anything Rangers.

    He returned to BBC Scotland a couple of years past and I have not heard any snide remarks or sniggering references to his time as Romanov's dolly. In fact, he was welcomed back into the fold with open arms despite not spilling the beans on Romanov(I suspect he signed an agreement to ensure no comment). Remember, Romanov has specifically refused to speak to BBC Scotland for a number of years, Charlie would have denied former colleagues access to information. Compare and contrast with the treatment being regularly reserved for Traynor, it would appear that Cosgrove, Spence, and English are determined to keep the hate warm with their constant sniping. We can only conclude that BBC Scotland's attitude to JT is personal and not principled. I am sure the Rangers factor in this equation would have helped swing it to the former.

    Yesterday, post match; Charlie Mann had a wee rant about the size of the 45,000 attendance and their lack of engagement with game, particularly the subdued atmosphere in the second half. He arrived at the comfortable conclusion that 'defiance' was alone in motivating the Ibrox legions. Derek Ferguson interupted him and suggested the style of play might not be motivating the crowd, he enquired whether Barrie McKay had started? Charlie let the cat out the bag by initially answering, "who"? He recovered to begin shuffling his notes for his team sheet as Ferguson explained McKay and his contribution to Rangers. Charlie confidently interupted Derek with a firm, "no".

    Honestly, Charlie Mann did not have clue on two counts during his 3-4 hours at Ibrox yesterday. Firstly, the subdued atmosphere was largely down to the tragic death of a fellow Bear during the match and it was blatently obvious he had never heard of Barrie McKay. Simply, Charlie did not want to be at the stadium and he did not engage with proceedings. This lack of awareness of all things Rangers at BBC Scotland will continue, recently on another forum(Gersnet) I listed over 30 names of those who regularly contributed to BBC Scotland's football output. There were several Yahoos, several Dandy Dons, a couple of Jambos, Hibees, Arabs, and another several Saintees, Raith Rovers, Motherwell, and Dumbarton supporters. Only two of the 30-odd could be considered Rangers men, one Billy Dodds is on record as, "no longer considering himself a Rangers supporter" and Derek Ferguson answers the question by continually hyping his beloved Accies.

    BBC Scotland do not engage the Rangers support and have no intension of doing so anytime soon, Charlie Mann's woeful contribution yesterday proves the point.

    The vhemrin call that "sitting at the back of the bus". I expect nothing else from the BBC, they are poison.
