minstral 5,375 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Some people say the 80s were worse, i would argue against that. First of all we won a Scottish Cup and league cup 6 times, no way this shower of cowards could do this. delparlane, gsa, Garnock Blue and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been by far the worst decade in the history of Rangers Football Club and theres still 18 months of it left. In the 80s we had some right good players and still managed to win a couple of League Cups and a Scottish Cup we also had a team capable of competing regularly with that mob in competitons even if we weren't getting close to a League Title. billscott, Grundy, minstral and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Traive 22,458 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Agree with a lot of the OP comments and I’m approaching 50 years in October since my first time at Ibrox. Two points I feel need to be made: Firstly, the 80s were horrendous and we were getting shelled as much by Aberdeen and Dundee Hibs as we were by celtic. A big signing was Cammy Fraser or Colin McAdam, perhaps Robert Prytz for a bit of European glamour. But the story offstage was nothing like today and the gulf that exists now was only a nightmare then, unlike the stark reality it is currently. Ironically, the attendances have stood up better in the recent car-crash years than they did when we were just pish as opposed to both chaotic and pish. However, never doubt that we will be back. A global fan base of millions and a core at home who have been to hell and back supporting (and defending) our great club continue to turn out in numbers which I believe no other club in the world could better given similar circumstances. It might take a while and it might mean more change and more revolution but never doubt this : we ARE the people and, no matter how long it takes, we WILL prevail. Doubt or uncertainty from us provides fuel and fodder for our enemies. Never give them such encouragement. And when 55 finally arrives, it will be all the sweeter for every obstacle placed in our way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too young to fully understand the early 80s. But I will always have hope because as grim as it is now, and its fucking grim, I have faith that we are the biggest and best support in the country and ultimately that will carry the club through. Players, managers and owners come and go but the fans are the constant and ultimately that’s what will ensure we win 55. Stay strong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristoe1872 2,494 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Rangers won ten trophies during the 80's and a few good European results. This is far worse than the 80's. billscott, minstral and Deanzmeanzheinz 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't be in the champions league either even if we won a league. So the solution to our woes is to sit and wait it out for the taigs demise? dont worry they'll be as shite as us soon and the league will be competitive again. minstral 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no a solution its a fact, us or them won't be in the group stages anymore imo, they've had a few quid while we were down but it will even its self out over a period of time.

Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 49 years ago, eh? Here's a little more depression from that year. This time next week it will be 49 years to the day that we got humped 4-0 in a scottish cup final against the rhats. One or two guys i spoke to at hampden at half time last Sunday brought this game up and predicted it could be the same score at the end of this game - how right they were!!!
