Rangers Banter Archive August 11 2020

11 Aug 2020 22:09:23
Nothing great I was just singing the bananarama song.

11 Aug 2020 13:25:02
Rangers to go 8 points top by next Monday.

11 Aug 2020 20:18:51
They can go 11 before celtic play next.

11 Aug 2020 21:26:46
I think every Rangers supporter will agree that the next 3 games are going to determine how much of a gauntlet that we are going to put down for the season ahead to stop 10.Lets see if they can handle the pressure. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🥇🥇🌈🌈.

11 Aug 2020 21:42:46
Let’s see if we can win the 3 games, don’t want egg on your face.

11 Aug 2020 21:48:10
Absolutely no excuses for dropping points. Have to pounce on every advantage.

11 Aug 2020 22:13:08
We need to win the games first. They will be docked points.

11 Aug 2020 22:37:01
Lets pile up the Points - much better than games in hand. Put down a marker.

11 Aug 2020 23:10:35
Absolutely bankie.

12 Aug 2020 04:31:12
Mee they won't get points docked.

12 Aug 2020 07:13:05
Let’s take one game at a time and hopefully 3pts tonight v St Johnstone.

12 Aug 2020 07:29:37
The next game is the one we have to focus on, Hibs are right up there this season, I honestly believe they will be a huge threat this season, I agree that we have to take full advantage of Celtics games being off.

12 Aug 2020 07:41:59
agree copland / irvger let’s just focus on st john first

oldest cliché in book but we need to take it 1 game at a time

looking ahead to livi or possibly 11pt lead is daft - get job done tonight

i’d take scrappy 1-0 every wk lads.

12 Aug 2020 09:35:17
We need to concentrate tonight we have only beat St. Johnstone twice in their last six visits to ibrox.

12 Aug 2020 12:26:57
You forgot to put the word "could" guys.

Wont be long before stories will be rife that our players have done same as Sheep and Tim players .

Nothing surer we know tim supporters inside out.

11 Aug 2020 19:43:33
Don't want celtic to have points deducted or the season called early, win it with no room for any complaints from anyone.

11 Aug 2020 20:14:42
Totally agree with that.

11 Aug 2020 20:31:21
I'll be honest, I don't care how we win it as long as we do. If it means we win it as a result of them being deducted points then so be it.

11 Aug 2020 21:05:51
I’d still like them to have points dedicated tho we need to win the league this year by any means so points deducted for them certainly wouldn’t bother me as long as we won I’ll be happy with that lol.

11 Aug 2020 21:43:14
Call the league next week when were 8 clear 👍.

11 Aug 2020 21:57:39
Win it anyway possible. Board room won nine for them. Was not won on the park. Season was not completed.

12 Aug 2020 05:46:42
They took christ knows how many meaningless leagues in our absence for meaningless 9IAR so take anything down to their stupidity. Don't care how we win this league just show Gers back.

11 Aug 2020 19:30:17
Charlie Allen signs for Leeds, pity great player.

11 Aug 2020 20:19:02
Just another wee laddie with some potential, who has a long, long way to go before he can be styled a great player, John.

11 Aug 2020 21:05:26
Ok Covenanter, a great young player, he would have been an asset.

11 Aug 2020 18:22:54
Celtic and Aberdeen’s next 2 fixtures are postponed chance to take a 8 point lead I know they’ll have the games in hand but we all know it’s better to have points in the bag💪🏼.

11 Aug 2020 17:30:46
i can definitely see celtic and aberdeen having both games void and punished if the shoe was on the other foot we would have lost the points .

11 Aug 2020 16:16:02
I have a question for you guys.

If rangers win their next 3 fixtures we could be 11 points clear before celtic kick a ball again. This puts real pressure on Celtic to get a win in all games.

But what if at that point the league season is halted due to C.V. and no reasonable time frame to restart would they close the season off to the league leader declared winner since the precedence was set last year? Even if it wasnt us at the top i'd be happy for Hibs to win it if it meant an end to the Celtic 10 haha.

11 Aug 2020 23:28:58
Don't know for certain but I would have thought we would have to have been much further into the season for any decision like that to be taken.

11 Aug 2020 15:29:33
On the bolongoli issue

Just read reports there that all premier league mangers and captains had a zoom call last night with governing body

And any more C.v. rules veiled they will call a half to the season

Anyone think what the disastrous consequences would come of that for a whole host of teams possibly even our own even though no one at our club as yet has broken any rules.
Clubs would certainly go to the wall if the season was cancelled for another year.

If that is what is being said and I'm reading it correctly?

Players and clubs are walking tightrope just now and every club needs to let its own players know rules can't be broken.

Whole thing is a nightmare could even be out of your own hands because someone else at another club continue to break rules.

Something else needs to be in place.

12 Aug 2020 07:37:49
I can't see them calling the league TBH, it's too early in, and, according to International News yesterday, it appears that Russia may have a vaccine, let's hope this is true, not for football, but to save lives.

11 Aug 2020 14:48:22
Sky TV extremely unhappy, rescheduling TV games could negatively impact media value of Scottish Football.

11 Aug 2020 23:30:14
It certainly won't help, that's for sure.

12 Aug 2020 07:39:16
Sky will just have to suck it up, they've shafted Scottish Football for years. and are probably still doing it.

11 Aug 2020 14:11:43
Good to hear that Gerrard saying he is very happy with our current squad and would like to add one more midfielder. Hopefully get someone in soon with a bit of dig and not scared to go on a run and attack.

11 Aug 2020 13:39:07
Spoke last week how I ordered mine and the boys strip 6 weeks ago and still hadn't received the tops from Castore. Emailed them and they have just got back to me giving me a refund as they have ran out of stock! 😡 Checked the website today and unless you want a goalkeepers top you are wasting your time going into the shop! Castore get your fingers out and you obviously don't understand how big a club we are🇬🇧🇬🇧.

11 Aug 2020 12:41:36
I see Celtic, Aberdeen mb killie can't play for seven days.
We r going to see league halted for a while.

11 Aug 2020 12:46:58
cancel and make us and hibs joint winners --#55 -eazy peazy.

11 Aug 2020 12:51:08
Looks like it. Also we must take full advantage of this. Chance to put early pressure on and go 8 points clear of them.

11 Aug 2020 13:37:18
It'll be all rangers fault of course.

11 Aug 2020 13:47:09
If powers that be Don’t postpone next 2 sheep and Celtic mob games they should hang their heads in shame! But it wouldn’t surprise me if they stop all games on the 14 day period 😱😱 but
If they do ban their games we MUST. Get max points from games we play and pile pressure on them just think potentially we could be 7 clear of them before they play again 🇬🇧.

11 Aug 2020 14:55:22
The wee pitbull in a 2 piece says it's football's final warning. Surley if a clubs breaking C.V. rules and can't fulfil fixtures the shoupd forfeit the game, ie 3 pts to st mirren and s 0v0 for sheep v tims as there both st fault, If rangers players were in the pub or Spain I reckon the points would already of disappeared from our tally.

8pts clear by weekend they have a backlog of games to fulfil amongst Euro qualifiers oh how funny this is. If were 11pts clear by Xmas and C.V. brings us to a halt will they give us out title.

11 Aug 2020 15:04:06
I don’t know how this campaign is going to go now
Guys

If they keep postponing games - what happens when we come to near end of season and we have OST teams still to play another let’s say 8-10 games because of games been postponed during the whole season

Will they cancel league again and give it to who’s at the top

I could bloody well see it happening especially if Celtic at top

We better make sure as a club we stay top this season to cover all avenues

Harder said than done I know

But I can see this campaign been ended without all games been played now?

11 Aug 2020 15:09:12
I don’t think the rest of the league should be punished for Celtic and Aberdeen players stupidity.
They should forfeit the points.

11 Aug 2020 16:44:26
Boli. bet . pmsl.

11 Aug 2020 17:03:45
Can go 11 clear before they play again.

11 Aug 2020 17:26:12
DC hibs would win better goal difference as they have scored more as well.

11 Aug 2020 17:49:39
:

Celtic to be awarded 9-0 win for all postponed games.

It's only fair.

11 Aug 2020 13:08:41
Liewell Donkeyaster and the rest of the corrupt spfl mafia will be in a panic. Awesome opportunity to lay down a marker and go 8 points clear and put the pressure on while they are barred from playing. 2 wins from next 2 is crucial. no excuses. players need to deliver.

12 Aug 2020 12:25:28
The cancellation of games will have significant financial implications. For example the Celtic game was supposed to be on Sky tomorrow but the cost of the Sky cameras being moved to another ground will be incurred. Also you will have companies who have paid for adverts before, half time and after the game expecting a certain audience to be watching.

These companies will potentially be looking for discounts on what they have paid Sky for the advertising. Sky would have every right to deduct these costs from whatever they pay the SPL and in turn these costs should be forwarded for Celtic to pay in this instance. Seems like a logical punishment to me and the same would go for Aberdeen. Maybe my mind works too simply but that's the way I see it.

11 Aug 2020 12:31:17
What do you guys think of the bolingoli situation?
Personally i think celtic should be punished severely for this, and bolingoli should be sacked by celtic for breaking the club rules, also he should be fined the mandatory £480 by the govt for breaking the travel isolation rules and his work visa revoked and deported.

11 Aug 2020 12:37:45
Good Rangers banter.

11 Aug 2020 13:37:30
We are better than that. let’s concentrate on ourselves and get our job done by winning games. Let’s concentrate on us and not turn into them by talking about the other lot constantly. ♥️🤍💙.

11 Aug 2020 14:28:04
i think the guys a complete selfish tool for putting the health of everyone and our league in jeopardy and only cares about himself and wouldn't be surprised if he gets sacked and good riddance if he does.

11 Aug 2020 14:44:58
Celtics worst punishment would be getting to keep him, he's hopeless 👍.

11 Aug 2020 14:57:21
How is what allyboy saying banter, the guy has seriously broke the rules, points deductions should be imminent and his p45 along with a fine.

11 Aug 2020 15:10:25
No, he’s rank rotten. Celtic should be made to offer him a 10 year contract on treble his wages. 😂.

11 Aug 2020 17:26:51
Utter BS I never heard you saying anything about the sheep players.

11 Aug 2020 18:26:42
Lennon says bolinfolly unlikely to play for Celtic again. Which should be the case. He should be sacked. Always an easy decision when the player is rotten. If Edouard had done the same I wonder whether the same would have happened.

11 Aug 2020 18:42:59
Allyboy1976, I like it, sounds like you are totally impartial with regard to this situation 😂😂😂. I think we should send him to a concentration camp in North Korea and chop off his hands. I would like to subscribe to your news letter because I firmly believe that with you in charge C.V. would soon be eliminated, and we wouldn't have all these issues with migrants 👍🙂.

11 Aug 2020 13:03:09
I would personally make him have to play every game for Celtic - that will teach them!

12 Aug 2020 07:50:25
Never forget guys how quickly they ALL apart from Killie at the time, tried to kill us off in 2012, I couldn't care less what happens to any of them, I just want us to conform 100% to the procedures, and stay safe.

11 Aug 2020 11:14:10
First time poster.

What should be the protocol in disciplining clubs/ players on breaking govt rules surrounding C.V.? 2 games in and we’ve already seen violation of rules from 2 clubs.

Other clubs will ultimately suffer because of this whether that’s having games rescheduled or teams not playing their strongest 11.

I don’t understand how there is no clarity from anyone on this going forward. It’s definitely not the last time C.V. will interrupt our 55 season

Team: Ally
International: Dodds.

11 Aug 2020 11:27:06
Agree 100% BlueGecko and have been banging on about this for a while now. Our board really have to get their act together on this and there's no excuse not to.

We need clarification ASAP rather than the SPFL making up rules on the hoof.

11 Aug 2020 11:29:18
Points deductions screw them no manners.

11 Aug 2020 11:33:23
Welcome blue gecko and I think we should hand out severe penalties to Aberdeen and Celtic.

11 Aug 2020 11:43:21
Instead of rushing into the new season in their quest to help Celtic to their mythical 10IAR, the SPFL and SFA should have put rules and regulations in place to stop these incidents from occurring.
Footballers are in a privileged position of being able to participate in a team sport. The least they can do is obey the rules like the rest of us away from the clubs.

11 Aug 2020 12:02:32
Welcome mate.
Problem is this is unprecedented and is being 'made up' as we go along. By that I mean that not every scenario has been thought of and a solution or penalty applied to that scenario. Therefore when some eejit decides to go off on their jollies there isn't something somewhere that can be referred to and then the correct tariff applied.
For example, if we don't go into work there is a company handbook which tells our employer what to do. Not so here.
I don't know what the answer is, but there must be penalties applied and it must be fair.
In the case of Aberdeen the team they were due to play got sweet fa out of it all, yet their next 2 fixtures will be played with a weakened team, so indirectly those teams benefit. Hardly seems fair but as I said, it's being made up as we go along.

11 Aug 2020 12:06:07
It's simple if they don't have enough players to play a league game because of positive test or isolation then they forfeit the game 3.0.

11 Aug 2020 12:06:26
Do we really expect the corrupt-to-the-core SFA and SPFL to put rules in place that might damage their beloved Celtic? Imagine the noise if that had been a couple of Rangers players. Lawell will ensure that nothing happens to the unwashed. Their problem is that if they punish Aberdeen they would HAVE TO punish Celtic too.

11 Aug 2020 12:14:31
I agree that there should be a set of rules for this, be careful though, Rangers, Dundee United, and Hibs got away with the first breaches with the pre-season games. If rules come out they will start from then.

11 Aug 2020 13:33:45
We all heard the noise from the Hollicom lead media over the 2 pre season friendlies that Rangers were involved in regarding testing.

11 Aug 2020 13:57:14
it doesn't matter if Rangers Dundee United or Hibs get retrospective penalties or not, we cannot just change rules to make sure it doesn't affect us. it is unforgivable that any player doesn't make themselves available per their contract. if they then bring the game into disrepute then there is already penalties for this. the game should go ahead, if the offending team can't play or has to field a weakened team then that's their fault, noone else. the alternative is to stop the league, then who is the losers, certainly not the offending team.

11 Aug 2020 15:48:25
Which breaches were these?

11 Aug 2020 10:11:25
So the football might be shut down again.
As per the precedent set last season, does this mean the title will be awarded via a zoom meeting 3 ways this season?
Obviously tongue in cheek but stranger things and all that.

11 Aug 2020 10:39:37
Yes and Hibs will win as they are above us in the alphabet!

11 Aug 2020 10:58:17
They have more goals for doiger hopefully it doesn't get shut down until Thursday then hopefully we will be top outright.

11 Aug 2020 11:47:32
Celtic will be awarded the title as:-
1/ they have the most obsessed fans.
2/ Timalloy made the biggest arse of himself on the internet and we're only 2 weeks into the season.
3/.

Club - Super Ally
National Team - Romario

My dad is a Clyde FC supporter and was trying to get me to follow in his footsteps but hearing Mccoists name on the radio all the time because he scored goals and then watching the goals on Scotsport when I was too young to go to the games myself was what made me a Rangers fan. Meeting Mccoist when I was 8 years old one night at the Speedway at Shawfield also helped seal the deal for me.

Romario again was just a born goalscorer and I loved watching Brazil. He seemed to score every game.

Strange that its 2 strikers that were my heros and I ended up playing midfield. Zinedine Zidane a bit later on was a bit of a hero too.

Born in Dundee, before I was old enough to travel to see Rangers my Dad took me to Dundee's games. Gilzean was the best centre forward I have seen. Then when I was old enough to follow Gers, Slim Jim was my hero.

Pele is without equal in my view, a totally magnificent player.

If the scottish government do suspend the season after bolingoli stupidity following the Aberdeen 8 I hope action is taken it can't be right that the majority of clubs are punished for the stupidity of a minority. Dock points or suspend players involved. Thoughts fellow bears.

11 Aug 2020 08:22:21
I would not be adverse to seeing celtic and the sheep docked points.

11 Aug 2020 08:28:31
Just be careful what you wish for just our luck. giv will say right from now on nwxt person to break rules loses points. step up one of us and we get hammered for it. See it a mile away.

11 Aug 2020 08:38:02
So much for Lemmon and his standard bearers quote. Just another way to be made look a fool. Disgraceful behaviour by this player, and before anyone comments, yes, I'd be exactly the same if it had been one of ours. Wouldn't have minded seeing Lennon's big red bawface when he found out, mind you.

11 Aug 2020 10:06:18
to me this is simple whether its celtic or anyone else. the current laws dictate that if a club fields an illegible player they forfeit the game and possibly are fined. this player was illegible to play that game due to having to be in lockdown for 14 days per government law.

11 Aug 2020 10:28:44
I think a new rule would simplify this.
You break the rules, you don't play. The game's go ahead without these players for the period of 2 weeks.

Yes this means that Aberdeen are without 8 players for 2 weeks and have to rely on reserves/ youths - TOUGH!

All clubs would soon have their players in line.

However Celtic should be punished differently by having to play Bolingoli in all games! :-)

11 Aug 2020 10:45:30
If any and I mean any of our players step out of line re this C.V. nightmare they deserve everything and anything coming at them, it would be beyond the realms of insanity if after the levels of scrutiny they did it
You just know certain mhedia outlets are poised at the send button if we did
PLEASE don't GIVE THEM THE CHANCE🙏🙏.

11 Aug 2020 14:39:29
The positive thing from todays conference, is that Celtic will now not get to play a weakened Aberdeen Team, that would have given them a huge goal boost, I feel anyway, so Bolingoli has well and truly stitched up Celtic, It's Killie that have been punished the most here, they did nothing wrong apart from being on the same pitch as Bolingoli.

11 Aug 2020 08:03:11
DEAR TIMALLOY

Thats Rangers now surpassed 25000 members to the my gers supporter scheme.
If you would be so kind and let your friends in uefa know by means of another 10 000 emails it would be much appreciated.

Im sure you will have a calculator to hand and that will tell you how much extra revenue that has generated for the Rangers.

If you could also let them know that there is still a massive que surrounding IBROX with customers wanting to spend even more cash in our new megastore.

THANKS.

11 Aug 2020 08:15:20
We're skint but 😂😂.

11 Aug 2020 10:48:00
Glad someone else saw his post Timalloy what a guy🤡.

11 Aug 2020 12:12:45
Timalloy and Griffiths are probably mates as they are the same type. I guess his excuse for the party was mental health issues, easy way out for the he who has put people's lives at risk, along with his teammate bolingoli, but of course that mob won't get punished cause they pay the pipers wage, wake up Scottish football or this is going to be another farce.
