josmc 525 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I’ve been follow following since the early 70s, including the John Greig years. As a young man I did far worse than the laddies are doing at the moment. However, that doesn’t make all their actions ok. I still think coming on the park should be avoided unless it’s a massive game for us and then I could see the strength of it. I unfortunately can’t go to the games now, but I do realise that these young lads are the future of the support. I also applaud them for their singing throughout the games and making the atmosphere better at Ibrox than it would be without them. I sometimes have a wee moan about them with the flares and pitch invasions, and probably still will. There’s no doubt though, that they are spending their money following us everywhere and genuinely love the Rangers. So for that boys and girls, I salute you. siddiqi_drinker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like an army of tin men walking up to the turnstiles, the polis kidding on they didnt notice. Aah ...

He also put Juventus and PSV out the European Cup that season. I feel as more of his contemporaries left he struggled to replace them with players of the same character, himself included as you say, and each season it got worse. scottyscott1963 and mearns loyal 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helicopter Sundae 6,038 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 On 30/01/2019 at 16:23, Dickie said: I started going to Rangers games in the early sixties unfortunately just in time for the scum from the east end to start dominating Scottish football (they also did well in Europe but you will not hear them mentioning it). I also suffered during the John Greig(manager) years and still went when our crowds fell to sometimes as low as 4 figures. I of course also had the jock Wallace,souness and watty years then came the ebt shite and demotion to the bottom of the league and I did actually think that we were fucked and would never recover but as everyone agrees the one constant in the last half a dozen or so years has been the amazing fans,we have filled every ground in the country and smashed all sorts of records attendance wise. Meanwhile at the paedodome as the scum hoovered up trophy after trophy unhindered their attendances unbelievably dropped to such an extent that they resorted to closing parts of the ground. I realise most on here will have stopped reading by now but my point is about fans having a go at the young supporters ie. the union bears and the ones who have now taken up running on to the park to celebrate,I find it mind blowing the sheer number of young fans that are now actually attending our matches when you think of all the crap we have been through and the fact we have won fuck all for years and a huge amount these kids have never seen Rangers lifting a trophy. So just think back to your early years as a supporter and give the kids a break,they might be a pain in the arse at times with their flares ect but their outstanding support for the club cannot be questioned. Superbly put! You have to remember that some of the youngsters going now will never have seen Rangers winning the league as actual match-going supporters!

Bertent 2,081 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Funny but maybe age is taking its toll, cause clearly i remember Jock getting shite after a bad start to a season, a season he may have ended up winning a treble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
