You can fool some of the people all of the time, you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. The fans know. I'm with the fans - f*ck the media.

Before that my friend ... Luther at the Imperial Diet of Worms (1521) Background Luther, who through the church's excommunication was practically declared a heretic, was invited to Worms by the Emperor who had been pressured by a few princes. Both the church and Emperor wanted Luther to recant his teachings while he was there. The princes who supported Luther hoped that through the forthcoming events the political power of Rome over Germany would be weakened. Luther's powerful sovereign, Elector Friedrich the Wise of Saxon demanded that Luther not be outlawed and imprisoned without a hearing. The Trip to Worms Luther began his trip to Worms on April 2, 1521. The journey to the Imperial Diet did not embody the repentance the church had hoped for. The journey to Worms was more like a victory march; Luther was welcomed enthusiastically in all of the towns he went through. He preached in Erfurt, Gotha and Eisenach. He arrived in Worms on April 16 and was also cheered and welcomed by the people. Luther's Appearance at the Imperial Diet Luther's appearance at the Imperial Diet was described as objective, clever and well thought out. He had to appear before the Emperor twice; each time he was clearly told to take back his teachings. Luther didn't see any proof against his theses or views which would move him to recant: "Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason - I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other - my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen." The infamous saying "Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise." does not come from Luther. I am Finished! After he left the negotiations room, he said "I am finished." And he was for the time finished; Luther was dismissed, and not arrested because he had a letter of safe conduct (Schutzbrief) which guaranteed him 21 days of safe travel through the land. He headed home on April 25. When Luther and the princes who supported him left Worms, the emperor imposed an Imperial Act (Wormser Edikt): Luther is declared an outlaw (he may be killed by anyone without threat of punishment). On the trip home, Elector Friedrich the Wise allowed Luther to be kidnapped on May 4 (Luther knew about it beforehand). This took place on the one hand to guarantee Luther's safety and on the other hand to let him disappear from the scene for a short while; there were even rumors of Luther's death. This action also helped the Elector not to endanger himself because he could have been held liable for protecting an outlaw and heretic. Luther was taken to the secluded Wartburg and the Reformation had time to stabilize and strengthen itself.

Definition of a jammy basturt...

?? They played in the late fifties early sixties.

Watched a Ranger's player like him in the past. He turned out to be a real good one when the rest of the forward line caught up to him - Ralphie Brand. Ask Jimmie Millar.

For different reasons, schadenfreude

Two games in Europe and twice we were overrun in the midfield. This team is really missing Ryan Jack.

It's not even a good sixth place

Hey, they did beat the scum in the league last week.

How much longer is Ryan Jack out for? He's the guy we are really missing.

Ma da's bigger than your da, and if ye say any mair ah'll get ma ma oan tae yoo !!

Very pedestrian. No service for Alfie and nobody willing to take a shot outside the box.That mob were a bunch of divers. Still we got what we deserved- f*ck all.

With our fans in full voice we don't need opposition fans in the stadium to create an atmosphere. WATP.

Send them an email -Prince Charlie has gone and Bravefart(wee Nic) will not bring him back - Over The Sea To Skye - f**k me.

I've read the whole five pages and I'm left wondering - 'why do we give this old bigot the time and space in our brains to pontificate his bile?' Is it not better to have every Rangers' fan vote for anyone other than the SNP or Labour(who were in control when he railed against 'The Billy Boys' song) and then he loses his platform and credibility. The answer lies with the support not the club. It's time to act rather than claim someone else takes the responsibility for the situation. Are there any Rangers' fans willing to stand in opposition to Dornan, Yousef etc. at the polling booth?

I once read a quote from an RC priest that said, in effect, give me a child until he is seven years old and I'll give you a lifelong catholic(soap dodgers).

Let's not get overconfident, we know how jammy these basturds are.

Saving their bus fares for school uniforms.

GK was doing his job. The SNP are out to destroy the Institution that is Rangers. You don't see a difference?

German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller just might give you a clue.

The supporters can rightly feel that their civil rights have been violated. However, we must keep in mind that our club have always been a few storeys higher in the moral standard than the scum. It's a tough road to hoe in being the leader in setting moral integrity. WATP.

Went out to the deck right after the game for happy hour(extended). Boy, when the Rangers are humming it just sets up the week, doesn't it? WATP.

A loser is always a loser !!

Oh FFS just accept that the fenian-mouthed Chris Sutton is their next manager. He's already accepted by the media and ticks every box for the north curve mob. That is good irish logic. Roll on eleven-in-a-row, i.e. eva munroe.
