reallyruff 622 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Just now, Jack The Flipper said: I'm not as confident about next season as some are, perhaps that's why I'm looking at things cautiously. Don't get me wrong I'll be disappointed if we don't win the league, but perhaps not as disappointed as the last time we were in the premier league. Simply because I know it is a work in progress and a step up of some kind going into the top league. I am aware it sounds blinkered, arrogant and all the rest, but we are Rangers, we should fear no one. The teams Brown played in certainly didn't , it's part of our ethos IMO and is probably a large reason others despise us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course it is, folk at school who got top marks or came first all the time were never really liked. Sad that a lot of these folk haven't matured beyond the classroom.

It's balanced and respectful. Nowt wrong with it. Says sellic must be 'really worried' and says sellic see us as a 'real threat'. Also says... "I think he's a very good manager. He will improve Celtic, so Rangers will have a big fight on their hands next season."... about Brenda. No doubt he'll have been too complementary there too. I think we get pissed off at ex-Rangers players very easily. Fuck that. Brown's a legitimate target. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat 4,511 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 It sometimes seems our fans are all too ready to jump down the throats of some of our former players whenever they open their mouths in the press or on tv. Bomber in particular seems to get a hard time of it from some on here. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with Bombers comments.He's entitled to offer his opinion when asked at the end of the day, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

H nwever I do think teams use this type of thing to motivate playero one hasf - just look at HIVS anditthe hibsed it thing. MW isoesn't use minfrom their mates anywayd games, doesn't come across as arrogant, I think we all agree that he sets a good example as to what our club is and always has been about. I wish Bomber would follow suit and show a bit of class. If teams need to use what some ex pro says to motovate themselves then they are cheating themselves and their paying fans by not trying as hard If no one has said anything to wind them up, yes the odd player will react to that sort of thing but you will find they are the ones who support one of our rivals and are getting It tight from their own pals to beat us never mind a throw away comment by an ex player. Hibs won because we made mistakes and never turned up after we went 2-1 up,Hibs smelt blood and because of bad defending from our front players by giving the ball away and terrible marking at two corners Is the reason, do you honestly believe Hibs were thinking what someone had said In a newpaper the last 20 min ?

I know what you're saying, but we didn't lose that game for one reason only. There is lots of things that effect the game, and the way I see it it's about increasing the possibility of winning by correct preparation mentally and physically. Do I think we lost that game soley due to Hibs being motivated by the Hibsed it thing? No Do I think it contributed to them being up for the game and that helped them win the match? Yes If our players were match, our preparation was more fitting, and our players were up for it mentally would it have mattered what Hibs did? No I see it as just increasing probability of success and that helps in those matches throughout a season when it could go either way, as everyone has a dip in form - it can't be helped. Some matches are on a knife edge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Celtic board are bricking it. They tried to build a dynasty on the cheap and it's backfired. The arse fell out of that plan when we played them off the park and they were blowing out their arse.

baxterboy 476 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 They've tried every trick in the book to destroy us, humiliate us, demean us, but we're fucking back. They know it, and they're worried because we're alive and playing the classiest football that this country hasn't seen for a long long time. So, considering what we've been through, it's awright tae be a wee bit gallus with the bastards. After all, if we weren't, we wouldn't be from Glesga, would we!

Whatever the reasons , it still stands that the teams he was a part of would not countenance feeling fear of the opposition, respect yes, fear never.

He's just said the sheep can forget it regarding being in the running for the title and that the scum are running scared of us - proven by them bringing in rodgers. Now, it's ok saying this as a fan and having a bit of banter about it - we know what bomber said is true, however, he should understand that all he's doing is motivating them to do better and should shut the hell up. What do you lads and lassies think? It's annoying when we put up with this shit, and we should rise above it and show our class - though, seems some don't see it that way. He is only telling it like it is.The mhanks don't need motivation as Rangers being promoted was all the motivation required Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
