Bears

We were dumped in the bottom division here and we held our heads up high. It was not a nice, fun journey back but we did it and we've returned better, wiser and more ready for what will be in this country or in England. From division 5 it would be a much more difficult struggle to rise to the top but with more investment, better management and players than the first 3 years of our recent climb, and the hope of a far greater prize in England, it is surely worth the fight. However, no one can convince me that celtc and its fans would be ready for such a challenge. With their hollow and unfounded attitude of superiority and arrogance, and definitely no ability to knuckle down and turn up at their ground without both a major trophy and us in sight, they'd possibly sink with little trace. If we were promoted and they not... they'd give up. Bring it on.

Is it lead-lined?

Konterman, if only for a certain swing of his boot.

3 defenders on the bench. Makes a difference from last year.

Aye, but if they played for us they'd still not get a game with the national team.

Crucially important, no. But with most of the SMSM (including broadcasters) providing a clear and consistent narrative that feeds the celtc trolls, the stewarding, the police and judiciary today? That's what bothers me. Where's our voice?

What bothers me is the complete lack of ex Rangers players as commentators.

'Find it strange'? You'll get used to it, Wes.

Time to remove the 'Champions' bit from the name of the competition. How about the 'Greedy Clubs Cup'?

How wrong is this sentence?! Apart from the obvious propaganda of the club liquidating... Thompson became a hate figure in 2012? What, was he alright with us before that? Aye, right.

Hear we're also trying to sign Joe Garner but that's not got a thread either.

Congratulations!

We know you are a big fan of Kiernan but this is like fishing where you cover yourself with bait and throw yourself in!

We paid compensation for Dodoo as Leicester had offered him a contract. Therefore any English club would have had to have paid much more compensation, just like with AS whinging about Windass and Crooks. So either your coach pal fae Northampton is at it or you are at it.

Had to be done.

except... the four assholes coming in the rear in standard two-by-two cover formation. except the eleven bears coming at you in standard 4-3-3 formation. We're back!

@Bluepeter9 I'm sure you could work it out. Or maybe it's more fun chasing low-count posters instead of addressing their point.

Surprise! A report on fan behaviour that we expect to be unjust to us and not at all objective, coming out the day before we return to the top division. The timing is perfect. Or are we just being paranoid as per usual?!

If you're right, it puts you in a much worse light. If. Which do you prefer?

That straw man you're building, it's getting bloody huge!

Welcome to the world of wiberalism.

Sweep sweep with the opposition fans behaviour after our final game in the last 2 seasons. Balance of interests and connections in the higher levels of running the game in Scotland. No board member in any national position until (allegedly coincidentally) our club ban fans before due legal process. Our support repeatedly stewarded inappropriately or worse. Cameras on our support, except when we are being attacked/threatened. Legislation aimed heavily at our fans while ignoring certain others. Lower division policy of failing to ref matches fairly (remember Black being kicked in the chest?). General state of TV commentary and background of commentators employed/ chosen for our matches. General state of newspaper reporting. General state of interviews and press conferences. Number of clubs willing to be seen as not sticking the knife into us, never mind having a positive relationship with us. This is where we are. So are we a toxic brand in Scotland or not? If so, was it anything to do with a very damaging narrative being built about those big bad raynjurs? Should we continue to allow this to happen or should we stand up for ourselves?
