    We actually have no hope in hell. This is why in another topic I said fighting the scumbags will get us nowhere. They have someone in all the major roles in scottish football and the media. How did it get this fucking bad is beyond me. Level playing field for all my ass

    Pedrosrightfoot reacted to The Moonlighter in 162 Years Ago Today. Tom Vallance.   
    On the 27th May 1856 the Rangers great that was Tom Vallance was born.
    To quote his Rangers team-mates from the 1870’s ‘’ The whole of Rangers loved him like a brother’’
    Tom was born at a small farmhouse known as Succoth near Renton in the parish of Cardross.
    When  young he moved with  his family to the Old Toll House at Shandon on the Gareloch. 
    Tom came to Glasgow in the early 1870’s following the path taken by his friends whom he’d known since childhood the brothers McNeil and Campbell .
    Tom Vallance had an astonishing 60 year association with the Club, and his is an incredible CV. 
    He was a master oarsman, a champion athlete (he set a Scottish long jump record of over 21 feet), he studied at the Glasgow School of Art, had paintings accepted by the Royal Scottish Academy and was Rangers Club Captain and President for many years.
    We have recorded details of Tom Vallance being present at the ceremony held on 1st January 1929 which saw the opening of the Main Stand at Ibrox and also at a dinner which was held in the St.Enoch’s Hotel after a Rangers match in 1933 when we faced Sporting Club of Vienna. He was also a guest of the Club at the New Year’s Day fixture that season against celtic.
    So, the lad who was present at Fleshers Haugh in 1872 was still attending Ibrox some 60 years later where the Club that he’d helped form and nurture were now playing in front of crowds in excess of 100,000. 
    Tom was a very successful business man. He had The Club restaurant at 22 Paisley Road West which today is the Viceroy Bar,   The Metropolitan which stood on Hutchison Street in the Merchant City area of Glasgow and the Lansdowne which was at 183 Hope Street.
    Tom was having the Rangers results wired to his restaurants for the benefit of his patrons as early as 1890.
    When Rangers moved to First Ibrox in 1887 it was said that it was common for Club President Vallance to be working the turnstiles on matchday.
    At the opening of the Main Stand in 1929 Tom Vallance recalled the facilities being so cramped at the Rangers ground at Kinning Park that the players would have to wash in basins of cold water in the open air.   
    It was the teenage Tom Vallance who helped lay the very foundations upon which our Club was built, hard-work, discipline, honesty, integrity and fair play .
    Mr. Struth said during that famous speech “No matter the days of anxiety that come our way, we shall emerge stronger because of the trials to be overcome. That has been the philosophy of the Rangers since the days of the Gallant Pioneers”
    Tom  was paid the ultimate accolade by the Club in May 1898 when he was made a life member. 
    As a lasting tribute to the  incredible contribution  he made to our Club  we had Tom put on to canvas by way of a  painting by artist Helen Runciman .
    Tom Vallance has now taken his rightful place at the top of the Marble Staircase alongside his friends and fellow Founders.
    Tom died on 16th February 1935 aged 78 at 189 Pitt Street Glasgow.
     He  is buried in Hillfoot Cemetery in Bearsden and his funeral was attended by Mr. Struth, Chairman James Bowie and his old team-mate James McIntyre who both took a cord.
    Incredibly ,players from the Vale of Leven team whom Tom had  faced 60 years earlier in 1877 were also in attendance.
    Tom was one of the originals, one of the greats.
    Today we celebrate the life of Tom Vallance.

    Went to a pre season game against Dumbarton down at the rock.freezing cold day and  We got a free kick 30 yards out. Big Albertz hit it straight at the wall and hit one of them. The scream from the poor guy was fucking hilarious. Class big guy and a proper legend

    Only in Scotland that we can have such hypocritical views
    Hibs slash Rangers allocation and are lauded for looking after the interests of there own fans who are coming back in droves to watch lemmons free flowing hibs team.......Rangers do the exact same and we are killing the game??
    The level of hatred towards our club is now borderlining obscene.....the prick talks about the hibs game and our statement then claims we are guilty of double standards?
    Does anyone remember anyone coming out in defence of our statement out with anyone not associated with Rangers?
    The answer to that question was no....in truth they didn't give a fuck about the loyal Rangers fans who since our demotion have travelled all over Scotland selling out allocations week in week out.
    We have been getting shit upon for far to long now and at long last have flexed our muscles to tell them that we won't be getting shit on no more.....cunts like Waddell & Co can fuck up, if it's ok for hibs to look after there own then by fuck we had better start looking after our own.

    I always thought if a club has a dof the managers position didn't exist and it was just a head coach. If that was the case the head coach didn't get a final say on transfers ?

    Personally think dier is much better in that role and when it comes to Liverpool I think he slows up play to much and a lot of backwards passing. Agree to disagree on this I think
