  1. We are the same Rangers we always were. I think the big debate should be are we Rangers oct Glasgow Rangers. I have always thought of the club as Glasgow Rangers though I was never a Glasgow lad being born in Barrhead or Bawrheed as everyone calls it. As for the land deals & under market-price loans that will sort itself out & will no doubt give us amusement.
  2. To answer the OP's question, it's mostly the coaching as far as I can see. We need to ban the long ball (Mohsni especially bad for this) and give the whole squad a chance to shine. we are well past the point of knowing whether we are going to win the league. I would prefer the team to try to play attractive football to entertain the fans. I did not go yesterday and I don't regret it apart from missing Fernando at half time. Despite having a ST I just can't bring myself to come up from England unless there is a big reason as the football has been very poor.
  3. The share price will climb again as soon as we are back on top and living within our means. I bought my £500 quid's worth to help the club not as an investment so I don't mind what they are worth but I do expect them to eventually be worth more than they cost me.
  4. I don't see a challenge from Hearts. The main benefit they bring for us is having away games at an OK ground that's easy to get to. We also get to make it clear that they 'done us wrong' and we are not forgiving them. I don't wish the club any long term harm, just a wee taste of what we have had to put up with.
  5. There were a few Russian supporters. I think some of them were sailors in port on leave from their ships. Just a couple of dozen. Still ranks as one of the best days of my life.
  6. A load of nonsense. I don't know any fans who think we should abandon the club. Anyone who wants a vote just needs to buy some shares like many of us did. Keep on supporting the team and we will be back where we belong in a season & a half. We have this league wrapped up. Next year we are bound to get some hard games to test the lads then we can get down to business beating the teams that matter, i.e.: the ones who voted us out of the SPL.
  7. A few years ago no one took any interest in the internals of the club. We just cared about results. Now we are agonising over who sits on the board & how much is in the bank. It seems to me that once we get in to next season and are showing that we will win that league out finances should start to look up, all assuming that the board are not crooks and are looking after the club. In the meantime I just don't see how William B Average fan can really follow & understand all the nonsense that's going on. As a shareholder I can see that my shares are worth next to nothing compared to what I paid for them and I won;t be happy until the value starts to climb. I don't care about the money but it's the most tangible pointer to our health that I can see.
  8. No, there is no scenario where we would be happier as Rangers fans with the team playing home games elsewhere. We are stuck in the Scottish leagues and we are not getting out so we need to improve Ibrox when we can and enjoy out proper home. We do not need to make it bigger just so it has more seats than some other mostly empty ground. We have the biggest fan base in Scotland and we are in the top 5 in the UK. I would like to see us always playing at Ibrox.
  9. It's a real shame for the travelling fans, especially those who made a really long trip. (I was at hospitality at Ibrox years ago when a match v aberdeen was cancelled 5 mins before kick off. Looked out the window & saw all the fans going the wrong way & could not figure it out until there was an anouncement).
  10. Why would anyone suggest Samaras for Rangers ? We do not need any players in January. We need to let a few go to cut wages. If money was no object I would like to see Jelavic back and perhaps Vladimir Weiss. They combined well to beat the tic and wee Vlad is true blue.
  11. He always enjoys his goals. Must have needed to get in as he likes saluting the fans. I wonder how he is getting on learning english?
  12. Boring but suitable draw for us. Last year I was lucky enough to be at a wedding when we went up to Dundee Utd. Glad to have a great chance of the next round when it will be time to face one of the big guns hopefully.
  13. No excuse for our fans to be bad just because theirs were worse. Lasers were also shone into the eyes of plan pilots on the evening of the match from the general area of the cesspit which could have been fatal but we should not be pointing out that their fans are worse and the press are not reporting it. We know this already. The Scots press has become totally biased and it will be very interesting to see what happens when we are on top pulling the strings.
  14. The odds are that we will get a wee team in the next round (pure statistics). If we get an SPL club I would prefer Hibs. Easy to get there if it's away and we have a good chance of a result.
  15. the bottom line is that flares are very dangerous. If some drunken wally lights one & chucks it at fans there will be injuries so we are better off without this kind of display. Get a flag guys.
  16. can't be bothered clicking. Never been inside porkheid & never been to Pittodrie otherwise just about every ground in Scotland and a few down south. And of course the Neu Camp for the '72 Cup Winners Cup final.
  17. Good interview but I don't see why Rangers should contribute to their profits. We do stand a slight chance of wining the match as they are not that great but we would need luck and our boys playing at their best to triumph. Best leave them till at least next season. Apart from anything there is bound to be crowd trouble & the related bad press and we have enough press nonsense at present.
  18. We can argue about whether Barrie deserves a place on the bench but no one can be in doubt that he was the source of most of the entertainment last season when we sat through a lot of boring games. He should at least get the occasion spot on the team sheet to keep him interested.
  19. Not sure where I will get tickets. My Son on Law is in Kirkaldy so may get a couple from Raith if I can't get them via the club.
  20. We do need to stand up for ourselves from time to time but I favour a softly softly approach until we are back to the point of having full membership of everything, 3 years of clean accounts etc, then we can show our true power again. Remember that once we are back on top the scum from the east end will not be winning the league or getting a free pass to the Champions League and they will suffer time and again at our hands. We just have to do everything in a clean, legal way. Beat them on the field & point out all of their worst faults (so many we can't deal with ten all I expect). And of course we still have no debt.
  21. I really don't care what he thinks or says. It's very odd for someone in the public eye to make a statement like that but it shows us how powerful he thinks he is that he can do and say anything he likes. Our time will come ! We are the People.
  22. It's an odd one this. I have been to Ibrox for so many games against ceptic and several at Hampden but I really don't have a mental record of which games I was at so other than hunting out the programmes & checking which ones I attended I don't actually know which goals I missed. I can say for certain that I missed every & any goal we scored at porkheid as I have never set foot in the place (There and Pittodrie are the two I have never been to). When I was a lad the supporters bus from Barrhead missed out Aberdeen as it was too far to go in a day.
  23. Ten in a Row, definitely. Having sung 'gonna be ten in a row' I would like to have seen it really happen. I have the nine in a row T-shirt but it's not quite the same. Certainly would have liked to see Marco Negri fulfil his career with the Gers instead of it just fizzling out like that. The one where Walter decided to play an attacking formation in Manchester instead of ordering them not to cross the centre line.
  24. What about Scott McDonald's second goal. Would have been very enjoyable to see the pain up close. I was in Barcelona in 72 so saw the goals there. Arteta's late penalty to win the league. Watching it on TV was no substitute.
