Al Jolson 3 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 If someone had said to me at the start of the season that we would've played nine games, drawn one, lost none, scored 21 and only had 3 against, I would've bit their hand off. If they had told me that, as we enter October, we have the possibility of going ten points clear, I probably would've laughed at them. If they had said Celtic would've lost at home to St.Johnstone and been humbled by us at Ibrox, you would've needed a very bitter lemon to take the smile off my face. If they had said for all this to happen, you'll have to forfeit Europe and be knocked out the League (or whatever it's current name is) Cup then I would've shook hands on that deal. It would be nice to win every trophy we're involved in but the league's ALWAYS where the best team comes to the fore.Good luck to Ally and the boys tomorrow and to Heart of Midlothian on Sunday.

DarcheVinny 1,003 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 As soon as we're not involved in a cup, be it domestic or european, I stop caring about being involved in that cup.I try to look forward, not back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enlighten me about the real world that we find ourselves in at the moment. CL Final? Last 16? Europa League Winners? Where, in the pecking order of European football do you think we should be? Try and keep your blood pressure down, your keyboard intact and put forward a reasoned, intelligent post. If you can. And in terms of universal acclaim, put your claws away sweetheart.

You accept that if you like, I wasn't brought up following us in that way, and neither were the many Rangers fans that I have known over the years.

Kind of expected that to be honest. Personally, I've learned to live with the highs and the lows that go along with being a football fan as I think any sensible follower of football does. It's the lows that make the highs all the more enjoyable. I'll bow gracefully out of any further debate with you on this matter. before you have an aneurism.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 in a year of transition its a good start.There's no way that our season can be described as good when we've been fucked out of three competitions by teams of the calibre of Malmo, Maribor and Falkirk. That is unacceptable no matter the circumstances at the club. McCoist wasn't exactly walking in blind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Jolson 3 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Some people on here are beyond parody. Bunch of raging, bitter, depressive, moaning fuckers.Perfectly put. I think if we won every game, every trophy, winning every game 6-0 in the process, too many would still be searching furiously for a negative. Seems to be a crime to post something positive.
