Maybe if members of the SSFRA appeared to act with integrity nobody would feel the need to question it.

Can we also request that RTV hears the VAR audio live like sky do. Would avoid the need of having to ask for the audio after the match. I suspect the answer would be no but it would reiterate the lack of transparency from the SFA

We need to get our concerns about referees on record before matches kick off be it Collum, Clancy or whoever. Have a question and answer prepared for the pressers before the matches.

So we have had a formal complaint about Collum, we have also questioned his competence and now he is cheating us on VAR. We cannot let this slide and need the club to do more than to release statements and then retire meekly until the next time he screws us over.

Stop offering away tickets to clubs until they agree to back us in getting rid of Doncaster. They need the blue pound more than we need them at Ibrox.

2-1. Time now to see what Michael Stewart has to say about it

No confidence in Beale and the only good signing from the summer window is Butland. Defensive weaknesses not addressed and attackers bought not performing. Lack of cohesion and shape in the team which is not just because of the new players. Tactics are not good enough for a Rangers manager. Beale’s results in meaningful games are either an embarrassment or a disappointment with no obvious improvement during his time here.

Screwing up the midfield to accommodate attacking fullbacks Confusing the players so they don’t know what formation they play Confusing the Manager so he doesn’t know his best 11. Pissing off the fans who are watching the shambles on the pitch

With the scum out the League Cup we have to win that. If the Board keep Beale in place and we don’t win it he would need to go.

Which liability centre back should we pick to gift the opposition the first goal? Can see a back 3 coming and Butland asking his agent to get him a move in January.

I was surprised Cantwell didn’t start and was concerned that Beale is talking about 4 games in 12 days. It is the first game of the season and the focus should have been on beating Killie. With a number of new signings it is important they play together to gel and learn the system. Not knowing the best team and what system we play and chopping and changing the selection does not help that process. Too early to be overly critical on Beale but he needs to simplify things, get the team playing better football and for the forwards to get service and goals.

We have had issues with Collum before and we may well complain after the event by which time it’s too late. I would be looking for us to allude to our concerns before the match in interviews. Not calling the referee a cheat but having a question set up and answer ready that we can refer back to after the match win, lose or draw.

We do need VAR but the issue would be how the checks are done. Could we end up with Madden on the pitch and Clancy on VAR? Would be better for us to have English refs with experience of VAR to run it. In the meantime we need to get the concerns about refs mentioned in the pressers before the matches so when they mess up again we have the evidence from the match to support our complaints.

Remember when there was a petition raised to get Brendan O’Hara to stand down as a candidate for using the term H**? The Herald Article had the two points below: The response was “The SNP said Mr O'Hara apologised for any offence caused by the use of the word but had no intention of stepping down” An SNP spokesman said: "Mr O'Hara acknowledges that in the past he used a derogatory term commonly used about Rangers supporters. It is not a term he would use any longer as thankfully football culture in Scotland has moved on from those days. He would apologise for any offence it caused." is it any wonder Rangers fans are criticised when the SNP is loaded with people who hate us. Also doubt a spokesman would confirm that football culture has moved on when they have this anti Irish rhetoric now

So years ago when the fans bought tickets game by game it was easier to have a close to even split for an Old Firm fixture. In the last 30 years or so there has been less and less of an allocation as the fans demand season tickets and deserve their own seat for all games. The only reason it is an issue in Scotland is because we done it first.
