Voted for and will mention it tonight.

BRAVEHOUND are in the running for a £50,000 National Lottery Award - but they need votes to win it.

But I'm sure there's still time for enough Troops to rally to the cause.
So please vote here, now...

Notice also that the face for this campaign is our very own Erskine Veteran Jimmy, seen here with his BRAVEHOUND companion Bracken, but also often to be seen at Ibrox with his old army mate, enjoying the match courtesy of the RM Erskine Fund members' season ticket scheme.  It's a small world, eh?
 
 
And here's a BBC World Service piece from recently  featuring BRAVEHOUND...

Oh, and we'll be sealing the deal on our very own puppy next week.  Pictures to follow.

Giving a donation will never be a problem I hope GB, to see the list of things we all do (you more than most) gives a good feeling to the heart when thinking of the people who will benefit from the donation. The one thing that did stand out to me from your list above was
"Many of their patients have real trouble dealing with crowds (and loud noises etc), so what better way to get over that than being part of the best crowd possible - and we've even found them seats right at the back of the section, so they don't need to worry about watching their backs.  Might sound silly to you.  They assure me, it's not."
I can assure you it is not either mate, I will never sit in public with my back to the door as it is a way of controlling your own little bubble and know if you need to leave or not. It is purely psychological and has been taught to you by someone or events you have gone through. It is good to know that even the smallest details are taken into account, especially for those who have a mental issue they need to struggle with.

Stokes was on a yellow and grabs Jack's throat. Nothing.
McGeoch fouls every 5 mins. Nothing.
Shitebag ref.

Fuck off then 

I'm sure one guy fae Sheffield will be raging about us as his bird fucked him off and came back into the boozers for yours truly ??? a wee hottie aswel ??????

No. I think McKay got a great goal and the players took a boost from it and pushed on a bit after it. They actually tried is all you were seeing there.

Never in doubt mate!! 

Got wee £25 on us when behind at 6/1, happy days

So after all the sellic players did last week, Garner gets booked for that at his own fans!?!?

haha we did it to them again

I love watching Rangers. They are the team I adore, have supported Rangers, man & boy, for over 55 years now. We've been worse than this in my time, when I never missed a game, seventies, and eighties. It was fucking hard watching them at times. The thing I'm trying to point out to everyone is that we'll be back at the top, where we rightfully belong, we just need to be patient. Sometimes you have to hit your lowest low before you pick yourself up, roll up your sleeves, and get stuck in about the bastards. WATP

That's the Parkinson's. My glass was full when I came out the kitchen!

To make things worse I'm working in a tarriers house just now!!!....he's giving me pelters.....he'll not be laughing when I don't fix the cunts heating until Monday!!....freeze ya bead rattling cunt!!! 

I also took the liberty of getting some chocolates and selection boxes as a little thank you to our Good Friends in the Ticket Office, Rangers Youth Development Company, and Rangers Charity Foundation.  
Without their help we wouldn't have been able to do half the things we've done this season, and they definitely deserve something for all the hassle I put them through on a regular basis.
 
 
Cost: £51
 
 
 

So you might think things have got a bit quiet on the Erskine Front - there have been good reasons for that, which I'll explain some other time.
But just because it's been quiet, doesn't mean we've forgotten about them.
As is our tradition, I have today posted three cheques to the 3 Erskine Homes to go towards their Christmas festivities.  We intentionally leave it late each year so that they've already got all their party preparations in place, so our bonus donation gives them a chance to splash out on some luxury extras.
This Christmas, we've given £150 to Erskine Park Home, £150 to Erskine Glasgow Home and £200 to Erskine Bishopton Home (they're the bigger home)
 
 

 
I'll let you know what the other two Homes get up to, once they let me know.
Total Cost:  £500

Got my seat a wee bit too close to the UB tonight.
Absolute ear rape from start to finish. At least we got the result though.

Gilks - Not tested, looks solid when called up. Great back up to have
Tav - Another decent performance, our most consistent player this year
Wilson - Looked good, seems confident alongside Hill. Weak on the right though.
Hill - Old Father Time strolled it, dominant in the air. Should be back to Senderos IMO though.
Hodson - Good game, Wallace hasnt had a good start to season and Hodson looks a better option right now. Doesnt steal the wingers spaces as well.
Holt - We've missed him. Glad it was a precaution to take him off. Gives us drive and gets past the striker to give another option
Halliday - Captain Fantastic tonight. Real influence on our play. Gave 2 fingers up to the guy sitting at home. 
Niko - Classy. Slow as week in the jail but the guy can pick a pass. Sexy beast
O'Halloran - Why on why didnt he get 90 mins. Will no doubt be dropped for Sunday. Direct and pacy. We need to play the ball over the top for him more. Gives us something different a chance to mix it up going forward.
Waghorn - Hat trick.. nothing more needed.
Forrester - Another great performance. Willing to take the ball and drive at them. Needs to cut out the stupid diving in challenges though. Like Dundee it was a red, an stupid needless one at that. 
 
McKay - Thats the Barrie we have been missing. Stopping the cutting inside bullshit and ran the line. As someone else metinoned in this thread as Wallace been taking up his space?
Crooks - Didnt see enough of him tbh, looked sure and composed the little I did notice. Nearly gave me a fucking heart attack losing the ball in our box though. 
Miller - One great run and decent try. Still has something to offer us from the bench.
 
 
Im not convinced our troubles are behind us just. We looked far far better in the second half, the first was sluggish and lacked movement and creativity in the final third. Lets remember that a cup game by its nature means teams have to come at you when they go behind. In a league game they will sit in more and attempt to limit the damage. 

Roll on the sheep, another week of good training and hard work and lets take some confidence out of high scoreline against a team on fire in the Championship. 

no, we cant get europe twice after winning the league.

Also cant understand why Forrester can't get on the pitch when we're needing drive and goals. 

And to those on Andy Halidays back all week , get it round ye , he had a better game today than anything i have seen from Barton.
