I get the atmosphere thing, many on here will remember the old Rangers end at Parkhead, fuckin class!

Their current squad is infested with classless cunts who have changed the face of the fixture. Every goal they score at Ibrox sees the usual suspects blatantly goading the fans - into the corner and a slow walk back along the touchline smiling, gesturing and goading the away fans in an already volatile situation. Brown, Griffiths, Lustig and Teirney the worst cunts. Every ref simply turns their back and returns to the centre circle letting them do as the please with impunity.
When we score at the piggery we can't even run to our own fans without a squadron of stewards actually entering the pitch and physically pushing us back. Closely followed by the ref chirping like a budgie on his whistle telling our players to get back up the park and actually escorting them and herding them away from the stands. Been happening for years and they are masters at manipulating the whole situation.
Some of Griffith's action should have seen him cautioned by plod over the last few years. If Alfredo scores and slides along the grass in an aggressive manner it wouldn't surprise me if he got jailed.
They've had it too easy for too long and can see us coming so this is being put in place in advance to curtail any celebrations.
IT WILL ONLY BE ENFORCED ONE WAY, MARK MY WORDS>

They won't get the Broomloan back now, that ship has sailed. 

Those long Italian locks are a thing of the past. If truth be told he’s thinning a bit on top not to mention a little bit broader almost everywhere else.
But, at the age of 47, there’s still something of the film star about Lorenzo Amoruso.
As he fixes a scarf stylishly around his neck in the hotel lobby - large parts of which are under renovation - a couple of star struck workies approach and ask for a selfie.
Amoruso obliges and then strides out the front door back onto the streets of Glasgow City centre, chest puffed out as if he’s never been away.
It’s more than 15 years now since he kicked his last ball as a Rangers player. Nevertheless it does feel as if part of him never quite managed to make it all the way home to Florence.
A brisk five-minute stroll later he’s settling into a seat in one of his old favourite eateries in the basement of the city’s Prince’s Square.
 
“You know, I could have gone to Manchester United instead of Rangers,” he says as he fires back an espresso.
“That was probably the biggest sliding doors moment of my career. But I always say, if I could go back in time, I would make exactly the same choice.
“In life, I follow my instincts a lot. I make mistakes, sure. But when I make a mistake I do it because I wanted to do it. Not because someone forced me to.
“So I would do exactly the same again because what Rangers did for my life was something really big. It made me a better person, a better player, a successful player.
“But it’s funny because when you are living through it you don’t actually realise how much you are achieving. Now, after 20 years or whatever, you look back and say we did a good job. Especially now that Rangers have not been winning trophies for some time. It gives our era even more value.”
The chest is swelling again. Amoruso always did have a healthy respect for himself.
He goes on: “The best time of my career was here but people forget my debut was when I was just 16 and a half. Jesus Christ, I was just thrown into this unbelievable world.
“I lost my head a bit at that time because the money I was getting was crazy. I still remember my dad looked at the first cheque I brought home and said, ‘I don’t earn this much money in six months of my job!’

As much as he is proud of his own successes in this city, he can take no pleasure at all the travails which beset his old club after he left for Blackburn in the summer of 2003.
Now, with the benefit of hindsight, his cut price £1.4million sale was perhaps an early indication of the unthinkable disaster which was coming down the pipe.
He says: “The club was having problems financially when I left which is why they sold me. But I never imagined it would get so bad. I had not even a clue.
“This is a club with millions and millions of supporters all over the world. How can a club like that be relegated? I had a real problem trying to understand that and I don’t want to go into it because, in my opinion, something was very wrong about what happened.
“But the escalation to get back to where Rangers belong has been very difficult.”
Amoruso arrived at Rangers in the summer of 1997, as Walter Smith was tooling up for an ill-fated crack at 10-in-a-row. In the five years that followed under Dick Advocaat and then Alex McLeish he would go on to stockpile three league titles, three Scottish Cup and three League Cups.
That Rangers have now gone more than seven years without picking up a single piece of major silverware remains difficult for him to reconcile.
And yet, from afar, he suspects he may have spotted the first signs of a possible momentum shift.
He nods and says: “Rangers as a club has winning trophies in its DNA. So my feeling is, if this team can win one trophy, then they can build up from there. It’s like when a vampire gets a taste of blood, he wants more and more and more.
“Right now these players don’t know what that feels like, apart from Allan McGregor. One player is not enough. Now the rest of them need to become winners.
“Stevie Gerrard is doing a good job. He’s not there yet but he’s moving in the right direction.
“Squad wise, celtic has a bit more but the difference between the sides is much, much closer than it used to be.
“Rangers have to take advantage of the fact that there’s a new, positive atmosphere behind the team. That’s important because I have seen teams before who win titles even when they are not the strongest or most talented team in the league. Sometimes it comes down to something as simple as spirit and hunger.”
Amoruso, as it just so happens, is busy thumbing his way through the lunchtime menu.
He pauses as if for dramatic effect and adds: “Listen, they actually have a chance this season. The league is very tight at the top and celtic seems not to be winning the games that should be easy on paper. Maybe after a few years they have got bloated by their own success. The belly is full of winning easily. With all respect, they have not had much competition.
“So Rangers has to be clever and stay concentrated. They have to work on the small details day after day because small details at the end of the season can make a big difference.”

Did well today and if picked for the right matches will do exceptionally well for us.

I bet it is still pennies compared to some of the TV deals other leagues have.
As for premier sports not a chance I'd pay money to them for the cup games. 

Not a chance that gypsy channel Premier Sports will be getting a penny of my money though 

Out to his 7.5 million followers.... 

Just came across the highlights of the Hamilton game on the sky box , guys a bell end. Excuse the heavy breathing,  loaded with the cold.

If that had been the keeper, Stewart would have been raving about it being a tremendous one handed save.

Maybe they should appeal it. ?

I honestly don’t think Collum is a cheat just a complete robot.
Hes a referee for himself not for the game. He always seems to get Champions League games because I think he does everything by the book which annoys every team across Europe he has reffed.
On the Candeias one I’m guessing he thought he saw the two of them pushing and shoving so by the book must book the poor of them rather than using common sense in the last 10 seconds of the game.
Also love all these tarriers and other fans laughing at the statement when they all hate him too and would be raging if their team got a yellow for that.

Excellent statement that pulls no punches.
If people within the sfa are in agreement that he got the decision wrong, then who is covering his back?
I love the last sentence. It's obvious to everyone that Collum has his allegiances, and it's about time they were called out.

CLUB RESPONSE TO SCOTTISH FA’S DECISION TO DISMISS OUR APPEAL:
Rangers are extremely disappointed with the decision of the Scottish FA’s Judicial Panel to dismiss our appeal against the second yellow card shown to Daniel Candeias in the closing seconds of last Saturday’s match against St Mirren.
Rangers afforded the governing body the opportunity to let common sense prevail and we are surprised they have chosen not to do so by correcting what was, and what remains an inexplicable decision by the match referee, Willie Collum. Rangers shall now seek a fundamental review of the rules relating to red cards which result from two bookings of a player in a game.
If one of these decisions is obviously wrong, it must be possible to correct that mistake. It is wrong that players’ livelihoods and careers can be impacted without the opportunity of redress, especially when the official responsible for the miscarriage of justice is allowed to continue as though beyond question or reproach.
It defies belief that this same referee, who got it so blatantly wrong last Saturday, is awarded one of the biggest matches in Scottish football this weekend while Daniel Candeias is denied the right to go to his work. This, frankly, is unacceptable.
Furthermore, it is understood that a number of people within the Scottish FA are in no doubt Mr Collum’s judgment was flawed and Rangers shall also now be submitting a formal complaint about the performance of this referee. The manner in which he reacted to an incident involving our player made it obvious he did not give due consideration to his decision.
This is by no means the first time errors of judgment have been made in matches involving this official and clearly there is an underlying issue which requires to be addressed.

The world caved to the offended people 

You're absolutely right.  Instances like this when all weighed up together prove that it's not about coin throwing, it's about giving their anti union/pro republican agenda some oxygen.
They don't call them scum for nothing so it's to be expected though.

If West Brom come in with a multimillion pound bid for Tav I think he'll be gone in January, but people won't realise how important he is to us until he's gone.

It's fucking ridiculous we're even speculating about that.

Btw morelos was right to lose the plot. That big mongo bastard pulled him down and the ref basically said he dived.
Him and Jack got booked for it as both lost the plot. The ref had a cracking view as well and how he came to that conclusion is beyond me 

Our best CH, and defender, by a country mile.
Tried to drive the team forward. His team mates failed him. Hopefully he kicked a few cunts in when back in the changing room.

Goldson is solid at the back, showed an urgency today that was lacking from others, what more do people want from him?
Overrated ?  FFS 
Prefer him and Katic tbh
 

I think he plays better with Katic beside him tbf. And Katic is a bigger goal threat than Worrall. I don't dislike Worrall, but for me, Katic is better.

Get Coulibaly playing deeper again and go with Ejaria and Arfield in the more advanced roles. Drop Candeias and get Kent on the right and give Middleton a run of games on the left wing.
Once Barisic is back get him in at left back and move Flanagan to right back and drop the imposter we have there just now and get Katic back in for Worrall. 
Simple changes but it would make us a much stronger side IMO. Just a shame none of them will happen.

Could throw a blanket over them half the time, all quite happy to sit in the middle and spin around in wee circles and make a sideways pass. No urgency, no breaking their necks to get up to the edge of the box, no pace to take on someone and break at pace. Ejaria, for me, isn't good enough or urgent enough for our game. Wants to look good on the ball but takes far too many touches for my liking, could be miles more effective if he stops the showboating shite. Jack does what Jack does and we need someone in the team like that. They are, unfortunately, all too similar and can't take on a long shot for toffee (which is demoralising when that's what Gerrard was famed for) 

Also worrying is his little hit out at players he has been having recently, some could easily turn into cards.
