Brechin City 1-2 Rangers (AET), Ramsden's Cup 1st Round - 29th July 2012

[crmpicco 72]

The last of my current uploads is the "first game back" in 2012.

An early goal from Andy Little made it look like we were going to stroll the game and the divisions, certainly that's what I thought. After the goal we went in we played average, IMO, and Ian Black had a really poor first half.

The bears were excellent, despite a second half soaking.

A bit of a blast from the past and, to borrow a well-worn phrase, shows how far we have come.

Rangers: Alexander, Goian, Bocanegra, Broadfoot, Wallace, McKay (Naismith 96), Black, Hutton, Macleod, Little (Crawford 111), McCulloch. Subs Not Used: Gallacher, Cole. Goals: Little 4, McCulloch 102. Att: 4,12

The Fear has just hit me.

What a day, we should’ve known from that day we were gonna be shite for the next 7 year 

[ShanksRFC 3,867]

Some worse games than that over the past 7 year.

Can't say I will look back on that period with very fond memories in years to come.

[CoatbridgeBear 7,113]

Gawnae no dae that

If only we knew what was to come over the following years, makes me grateful for where we are at the moment. However, 'the journey' isn't over until we get our title back.

Nope, not doing it, not clicking. Dont need to remind myself how bad we were to enjoy how far we've come.

[StaunchLondonGer 1,651]

Whilst I'm extremely proud of how we as a  support set the world an incredible example of loyalty in the face of adversity (and ridiculous domestic antagonism), I in no way want to be reminded of a period of 5-6 years where we were miles away from anything resembling  a recognisable Rangers team on the park.

To be honest.

Fuck knows how we managed to keep turning up to watch that absolute garbage for 4 years

Woulda watched that game with my eyes closed, but the commentary team were  talking Gaelic pish so I couldn’t follow.

You're right, never missed a game all that season, but it was soul destroying☹️

Dark dark days ..

Remember we all loved Charles Green back then when he was clapping along to if you hate Stewart Regan

Thank fuck.

We are top of the league FFS. Why torture ourselves by picking at old scabs?

Onwards and upwards.
