  3. Planted a replacement tree for the bear who cut one down
  4. Anyone know what happened to last set of shares in 2014 for RIFC. Seems to be suspended on my trading account. Are these still valid?
  5. Brilliant, Some funny responses and criticism! No nicked phone or pat on the back, I can take it .Was honestly expecting some people relating how Gerrard has helped our club. Obviously the wrong place for it 😬
  6. I wrote this blog on how Gerrard has helped me as a boss, Anyone else had the same inspiration from the way Gerrard has improved us? https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-steven-gerrard-makes-me-better-entrepreneur-alan-wilson/?published=t As a life-long Rangers fan and season ticket holder, I always love to watch the famous win, but just as importantly I love to see the players play with passion and really put their hearts into the game. Since our financial issues (and the succession of managers that followed), the Ibrox faithful have finally found the man to make this happen: welcome Steven Gerrard. At the same age, and as a first-time CEO, learning business skills from a first-time football manager is not something I expected. However, Gerrard’s transformation of the back-end of Ranges (which has drastically improved what’s happening on the pitch) has got me thinking. From changing the training ground menu from one to avoid to one offering “the best food in Glasgow” (apart from my Aunty Barbara’s of course) to moving the manager’s office from the tunnel through-fair to a private and respected place for discussion at the back - Gerrard has made Milngavie the place to be even on the players’ days off. At Expandly, I emulated this by moving to brand new offices that give the team excellent facilities (great showers), downtime (a funky cafe), playtime (a foosball table with a blue pitch of course) and great food and drink options (ok, maybe the bacon rolls and beer fridges are on a different nutritional scale but damn they taste good). A rookie manager, a squad transformation and 14 new players was surely a recipe for disaster for anyone outside of Football Manager, but that wasn’t the case for Gerrard. Instead, he brought in players with hunger, who knew that if they weren’t up to scratch, they weren’t making the cut (look at Sadiq for example). The January transfer window was an exceptional balance of expertise (Defoe and David) and new prospects (Kamara and Jones). Likewise, at Expandly we have our very own Alfredo in sales, alongside an experienced Defoe as sales director. Our solid midfield development department works well with our outstanding support team in defence. We also have our very own McGregor as CFO, although while he commands the team brilliantly, I don’t think he lives up to the “shagger” nickname. Above all else, Gerrard has created a winning mentality that we lost long ago. Every time I watch my team now, I can see players off the ball working hard, teammates working together and a squad fighting for the jersey they are so privileged to wear. I think about this when I inspire my team to make Expandly the most successful company in e-commerce - just like Rangers are the most successful team in football. Thank you, Steven Gerrard - Let’s Go Edited to add: I wrote this article following Rangers' 1-0 victory against C*ltic at the tail end of last year. Since then, performance hasn't been as great, and although I will hold hope until mathematically not possible, it's probable that we will lose the league. Gerrard has made some mistakes for sure, but he is learning from them, and he has brought us back challenging and playing good football. If we do lose, I know that Gerrard will dust off the disappointment, learn and move forward to the next season - just as in business; if it doesn't go to plan, you dust yourself off, learn, move forward and make it happen.
  7. Never understood why insulting the colour of someone's skin or religion is deemed more offensive than personally insulting someone's family. Imagine the uproar if it was: Morelos you're a Bl*ck B*****d or Morelos you're an Orange B*****D
  8. Well done Rangers, good positive stuff
  9. Thanks for the wishes! Train arrived 12:02, bag in left luggage and in seat by 8 min on the clock so caught Kenny's goal but pity about the result! @govanblue http://www.rangersmedia.co.uk/paypal.html - I'll donate but the page is down, what is the paypal account? KLM offering me £50 flight voucher compensation!
  10. 1. leave house in bursa (turkey) 7am on 30th boat cancelled between bursa and Istanbul due to snow 2. Can't book express coach ticket despite empty seats asthese are next to woman and men can't book these in turkey 3. Had to take longer coach 4. coach broke down and had to change 5. Arrived late at airport which was fine as flight delayed but would miss connecting flight to Glasgow from Amsterdam with KLM 6. My ticket on app got updated to BA via London, I asked woman at airport who said that would also be delayed to 10 7. Said I would wait in Amsterdam and get the morning one but woman at ticket counter said I could get to Glasgow that night via London and no delay 8. Just about to board when 4hr delay announced. 9. Get to Heathrow 11pm closing ba saying all there hotel rooms gone and need to do myself 10. Think broke toe kicking bollard (my fault) 11. Find a crap b&b for £150 for 4 hours sleep 12. 5am they cancelled my 7:50 flight! 13. Call a cab to Euston £50 caught the 7:30am £138 - arrive Glasgow 12 14. No Surrender
  11. Did your £370 include VAT? I got club deck tickets at £505 each but came to £610 on payment when VAT was added, does that sound right?
  12. Inequality in Action - In all honesty, why is this not main page Sky News or the likes? Recently we have heard the racist Chelsea, Anti-Semitic Hammers from fans. Surely a player singing a bigoted song would be massive news. To be fair, I don't think he understood it but that has never been an excuse and every fan could simply say "I did not know it was offensive"
  13. I heard the army are on standby....surely that is not fair on them.
  14. califragilisticexpialidocious
  15. It is clear everyone feels they have set their own opinion, but opinions are formed by information and RM is a source of our information. My English friends like rangers and hate them but their information source is bbc/sky. They simply think green screwed us for money based on what a couple of fans said on sky news. If I was only channeled negative information about green and skewed facts then it would be hard to learn a different opinion, think North Korea. I guess it is the fact that RM's mods are good to allow all opinions that my options are better formed.
  16. After following this forum for a couple of years I have tended to follow the general opinions. I have only recently visited other forums like FF and notice a diffeence in opinion in respect of the running of the club e.g mcCoist /board etc. Some of my opinions have been to thoroughly approve of green for keeping us going even if his intentions were financial. Also mccoist childhood hero; I question his management but still love him ad want to stay. I can make my own decisions but I wonder if I found FF first my opinions would be different to the sense some OPs post here. So does RM form your opinion or do we for the general RM opinion?
  17. All 'Scottish' fans - any other Scots team in Amsterdam during the week? --------------------------------------------- http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11781/9015492/champions-league-six-scottish-football-fans-to-stand-trial-in-amsterdam Six men will remain in custody in Amsterdam to appear in court on 21 November following clashes between supporters and police ahead of Celtic's Champions League match against Ajax on Wednesday. A total of 28 Scots were among 44 people arrested following the problems, which left eight Dutch police officers injured, although none of the six remanded in custody have been formally charged. Dutch police have confirmed that 22 of the Scots were released after being fined, although Celtic have insisted they will be opening an internal investigation to consider claims their fans were poorly treated.
  18. I liked the scores on the bottom left and the live feeds for a second picture. e.g. showing cribari when injured
