serious question....how many times do you lot change your values?the faux outrage at fans booing ian black, don't make me laugh....maybe these comments will refresh your memory on what ra peepel think (thought?) of your latest victim of abuse:


-----------------------

Might I add that something should be done about Ian Black, that's two horrific challenges that he's got away with, and as much as I like seeing a celtic player on the deck in pain, he could have ruined his career, same with Jelavic and his cowardly tackle on him. I think that's why Jelavic reacted against the hibs lad, as the Hibs boy tried the same challange.

Rikkisixx

------------------------

Ian Black (as much as I hate him) was booked for a late challenge

GovanFR

------------------------

watched the game today and got to say was not impressed with ian black at all i think he is a total waste on wages what did he do at hearts part from chop players nuthing hutton would be alot better than black

------------------------

and finally Ian Black in a rangers top, disgrace and offensive and insulting to the club, he is a thug that does not deserve time on a football pitch, simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH

-------------------------

Iwas never a great fan of Ian Blacks always thought he was to Dangerous a player was always on the verge of ending someones carrier with mad tackles

-------------------------

When Blacks name was first banded about i posted o here regarding my disapproval. The guy is a thug and will spend more time serving suspensions than on the park. Thats just my opinion.

-------------------------

If Ian Black does sign then it absolutely stinks

Mac2

-------------------------

he is just a total w4nk3r of a guy tried to break jelavics leg and hes sh1t

-------------------------

Thst would be the final straw for me I cam handle watching s**te players but not that thug, he would be a cert to be sent off in old firm games

-------------------------

The man is a thug! And to be honest not very good at football. Wouldn't get a game for Stranraer! JBBEAR

-------------------------

black is mince all he is good for is kicking players up and down the place

-------------------------

No chance he is a dirty B*****D!
WATP
BIG CRAIG

-------------------------

Are people forgetting the guy was caught with cocaine in edinburgh nightclub last year. The guy is a f*d. Is this the kind of player we really want representing our club?

-------------------------

Ian Black is an absolute thug of a "player". He hates the Rangers fans. I wouldn't like to see him in our jersey.

-------------------------

Why look for a "hot head". He's dross. Lafferty is a liability at times if your looking for a hot head. Big Jig... He serves absolutely no purpose apart from to play this Ian Black role. Even Naisy has a wild challenge or two in his locker. We need a player or two who can control a football and show some composure not idiots who kick anything above the grass with no quality. Hot heads lose games. Whittaker blew the malmo away leg. Jig blew St Mirren away a couple of weeks ago. Enough said.

-------------------------

Hate him with a passion he was the one that crocked big jelavic and the guy is rotten at football which is most important. We already have a guy that is good for nothing more than kicking people Lee (i canny kick a baw cos am past it) McCulloch.

--------------------------

I think you'll find the majority of fans didn't want him in his team, and to be fair his actions are different to Ian Black, as diouff's behaviour rather than the reckless, dangerous career threatening behavior of Blacks

stop trying to defend this guy.

---------------------------

The only type of ability i've seen from Black is an ability to hurt other players. Nothing more than a thug. Definitely not wanted at Ibrox imo.

Gerry The Ger.

----------------------------

Me and my brother were talking about Ian black coming to rangers and we both agreed that he is a dirty player we don't need that at rangers he was the one that Jelavic out for the rest of the year in his first season remember?
Brian

----------------------------

A hope not he is nothing but a thug that likes to cause injury!
WATP
BIG CRAIG

----------------------------

this gut isnt a player he's a thug who goes studs up in every tackle making him a liability to his team

----------------------------

I've reed a few people on here posting Ian black for rangers if he ever does sign I will send my season ticket back

----------------------------

On another note, I see that person Ian Black has been at it again today. He's a disgrace and would be in Saughton if it wasn't for him being a footballer!
He's going to end someones career soon, animal!

Baybear

----------------------------

Talentless animal who reminds me of Neil Lennon and Scott Brown. 0 ability 100% dirty c***.

----------------------------

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Ian Blacks other action after he was taken off. Following walking off, kissing his badge then taking off his shirt, he then crossed himself. I have no problems with players who wish to cross themselves but this purely done to get a reaction from us...

----------------------------

I cant stand the guy just another poor footballer and the type of player that makes the spl look like pub football.


Gazza72

----------------------------

Somebody should make an e-petition to have Ian Black kicked out of Scottish football lol. Seriously though one of the dirtiest players I have ever seen.

GovanFR

----------------------------

I have been saying this for years, before he went to hearts. not only that but he tackles like a coward, either when a player is already down, or a cowartdly stamp on the achilles from behind... and it is deliberate every time, two weeks after Jelavic last season, he had a two-footed lung on a celtic player who was down injured last season, and as far as am aware never even got booked....Unfortunately its only ever highlighted, and described as clumsy on TV.

The guy is a weasel

Rikkisixx

----------------------------

Ian Black is the dirtiest player in Scotland, I was saying that as I was watching the game yesterday, he's a dirty growler and a very average player. Why did he kiss the badge on the way off to the Rangers fans when we couldn't care less?

----------------------------

Im glad we got that game out the way with that idiot black sliding studs up into every player putting their career at risk

----------------------------

Was going to post a comment about Ian Black earlier this season after the idiot was sent off for a shocking tackle on Keith Lasley, but thought i was being a bit paranoid. However, yesterday was a classic example of why the guy should be nowhere near a football pitch. Taking into account the foul that lead to Jelavic missing 3/4 months last season, the tackle on Lasley and his assault on diouf on his debut for us last season, i am serious when i say this animal will ruin someones career shortly. It took that ref 6 mis timed tackles for him to book Black, yet Whittaker was given a yellow after his 3rd foul. Is that fair? Are refs that bit more tolerant with black because of his reputation as a midfield "stomper" , not my description, but Mr Craig Burley's. Who stated that Black is just that type of player, is that a player who is good for injuring 4/5 players a season Craig? Fed up watching this guy and worrying who he may injure. Am i the only 1?
J1985

---------------------------

The most worrying thing for players playing against Black, is that ALL ref's know the type of tackles the clogger put's in, game after game. I agree, he is not far away from seriously injuring someone, and I jjust cannot believe that his yellow / red ratio is not the worst in the SPL ? A bomb scare footballer he is !

---------------------------

He's a dirty little barsteward, its not that his tackles are mistimed, he deliberately goes in to hurt players. We should bring back big Dunc the next time we play the Jambo's and let him knock 7 shades of s**te out of Black.

Gerry The Ger.

---------------------------

Ian Black is one of the dirtiest people and football players. He put another scissor challenge on Naismith toward the end of the game similar to the one he injured Jelavic with. Am I right in thinking he was also arrested in relation to drug charges.
Kick Ian Black out of Scottish football.

GovanFR

Short memories eh! These guys have booed more of their own players in recent times than they have other teams players! if Black was still with hearts then they along with the media would Well done OP great post.

Briggs

Ha ha ha haw haw haw he he.
The prosecution will rest its case your
Honour.

Rather compelling . . .

Every Celtic fan should cut and paste this, send it all over the net.I wonder what FF and RM would think of this

Very interesting to see some of the posters tags.

Exactly. He was booed for being a thug. The amount of posts I've read on here about not wanting him on the team were huge, yet you think he was undeserving of the boos? Nothing to do with him being a rangers player. He was booed coz he's a nasty player. Paranoid hypocrites

Even henric wont support you next tuesday.

A lot of rangers supporters still don't like him.

He was booed at Easter rd the other night because he's now a Rangers player (no rubbish about being an ex jambo pls). Sums up the shortbread tin mafia that follows Scotland.

You can see how no necessarily liking Ian Black and no liking the fact he was booed the other night because he's now a Rangers player is a logically consistent position I do hope???

Guys still not liked at rangers and will need to be a stand out if he hopes to turn that around. The booing thing is crappy though, feel free to give him peters all day long in a gers shirt, soon as he pulls on a jersey for the nation, he deserves your support.

Every sinner has a future, every saint has a past.
I think black's been playing well. And I'll be there supporting him and every other player in a gers strip this Saturday.
Dtp89

OMG, caught! 30 odd supporters didn't like Black over what? a year's period. Freedom of speech and all that, can't please everybody all of the time.....
I think the posts are fairly reflective of supporters views over a long period of time. Surprised you haven't said that it was the same 30 odd guys who booed him at Easter Rd the other night.
The point is that a player playing for his country should not get booed by his own support. Especially the Tartan Army another 'we're the best supporters in the world' set of fans and I've travelled with Scotland.
Maybe Craig Levein missed the games that the posts refer to, but he merited a place in the squad and cap according to him and because he is a Ranger the fans booed him, something that no player should receive for playing for his country.
So all you've proven is that you can copy and paste, spend bags of time collating outdated posts reflecting your obsession with RFC.

Moch outrage is always the best lol

He is a dirty player I accept that. I'd rather have him playing for us than tackling our players.

GovanFR

Wait a minute are you trying to suggest that prior to him signing for Rangers the Rangers fans didn't like Ian Black. I can't quite believe this what an outstanding piece of research you have done, contact the press!

Oh wait he was booed every time he touched the ball at Ibrox, so your point is? I think the Rangers fans argument would be why boo your own player.

Man get a life... I have never defended this guy, and stand by my words over the last couple of years. Black isn't a footballer....he's a sh*tebag and a sh*te footballer, and would have Hutton over him any day of the week

I think someone needs to get a wee life outwith rumours forums, how long did that take to copy paste....

Rikkisixx

People are entitled to opinions, if he tries when he has that blue jersey on, good enough for me. Incidentally when the green and grey hordes wanted rid of Lennon at the start of last season any chance we could see those posts as you seem to have plenty of time spare.
People in glass houses remember!

The sad thing is that a sad wee Celtic Fans went through the Rangers page with a fine tooth comb finding all those posts, Obsessed much?

Larky Bear

Hurlock, souness,,,, mcculloch getting past it ' you have a position to fill, black fits the bill perfectly. i should also point out a position we have never used, we prefer footballers .. shamrock

Seems that some of the posters on here have been shown up for being as two faced as we all knew they were.

17) black was booed because he's a thug not because he play's for rangers. iv'e watched rangers for 25 years we've had our hard men throughout that time,but we've never had a player who want's to end someones career i don't want him in the team he doesn't deserve to put the rangers shirt on his back just a THUG

@ 16.......tell you what, that took me all of 5 minutes to put together, so you can do your own digging on Neil Lennon. i'd be delighted to see the 'masses' of posts that demanded Lenny was sacked, cos for the life of me i don't remember any!


taco

@17: obsessed in the way that Green is as he mentions Celtic as much as possible?

The OP was 'Taco' he made a comment on the Celtic page about his comment finally being posted last night and this was the only post that didn't have a tag at the end that was anywhere near the time he was talking about. Why didn't you sign your name Taco?

Taco why didn't you tag the post originally did you want to see the reaction before putting your name to it?

Just for Taco since he asked to see posts about Lennon for the sack; sorry ed its another long one.


see if we dnt get something dun with getn players in why dnt we stay away from games then they will have to do something bec any decent celtic fan will no that was a pub team we played the night lennon cant come out with any excuses after that he could say the big person dan did not help us wiyh getn sent off after 1 min but he fu,,,picked him disgrace guys never thought for a min we would get beat off that shi.never mind sack lennon sack the board greedy bast..goodnight god bless jim the tim

some of the fans on here are a disgrace its the first loss of the season and already you are wanting lennon sacked.

how you doin ed? terrible reuslt today surely lennon must go now. personally i was one that wanted wee strachan to go but i think that was our biggest mistake would love to see the wee man back. and 1 other point i've defended the big keeper to the hills and back but he let us down big time today again must follow lennon out, if he goes ed who u think for the job. 1st time post Coatbridgebhoy

Lennon must go. If he stays this season, Rangers will win the league. His transfer activity during summer wasn't good enough, his tactics and team selection are woeful and his substitutions and attempts to change a game are utterly pathetic. He hasn't got the experience or know-how to take the club forward. After the Mowbray disgrace he was the cheap and easy option when the club needed someone good to get us out of trouble.
Sack Lennon, now.

Celtic is too big a club for a rookie manager. The expectations and demands of the job are far too great. Tactical experimentation in the course of learning your trade at Celtic can be the difference between winning or losing the league.

neil lennon the man will always have my upmost respet for all the s**t he has stood above.but neil lennon the manager will never get any. his team selections are unbelievable , his tactics are always wrong and his subtitutions are always too late and wrong. it's fine to support him and i always will ,but there has to come a time when we , the supporters put celtic first, lets be honest guys , he just doesn't have what it takes to manage our club. i hate to say it BUT LENNON MUST GO!!!!!!

please please please Lennon must go board members please read this

Now must be the time for lennon to go. We have the worst defence that I have seen at Celtic for years. We all Knew last season that we needed to strengthen the defence with a centre half, goal keeper and centre forward and lennon did not deliver that is why we are in this position. We are stuck with this bunch of players until January and then who can we buy with no chance of Champions league football.

this is not a rumour,its time for lennon to go he has not got a clue.if that was mowbray or anyone else the fans would be crying out for them to be sacked.but lennon cant take all the blame that board need to spend some decent money on players.you only get what you pay for and thats rubbish we have,keep ledley & hooper but the rest your times up,and the board must now be on a tight rope after buying all that rubish thats on the park,fed up hearing the other mob are skint,they seem to be putting a better team on the park every year

@23: maybe he forgot and in #21 he said it was him that posted.

@23: obsessed with Celtic so you're on their page? lol

Surely all of the above just proves how totally fickle football fans are?

please accept we are a newco with conditions relating to oldco . unless conditions were met transfer of licence would never have been agreed meaning we would have been a team without a league , one condition was that we would accept footballing debt , to satisfy others dissatisfaction towards us, unfortunately the monies due for being runners up last season relate to oldco nothing to do with us also monies due for transfers all relate to oldco , again nothing to do with us sorry to say this but it is facts

Yes I understand your point, but the SFA are there to protect their other members so any monies due to other clubs should be distributed to them before the remaining money is sent to oldco.

So the SFA & SPL should have paid off as much of oldco's debts as possible with the money which should have been awarded for 2nd place.

The Pilot!

And who makes up the rules?!? One thing's for sure, Rangers' prize money for last season certainly shouldnae have been split between the integrity collective, that is the rest of the spl. Unreal.

I think the liquidators may have a call on any money due to the oldco before it goes anywhere else

16 Aug 2012 15:48:57
What does everyone think the team should be on Saturday?
I think it should be:
Alexander

Broadfoot Goian Bocanegra Wallace

Shiels McCulloch Black

McKay

Sandaza Kyle/Little

Not too sure about Little or Kyle yet.
Dean The Bluenose

No broadfoot please .

Would drop broadfoot and slot little in at rb

Andy

I think I would like to see Perry play if he is able. Would put Sendaza with Kyle up top. Little is still up and down for the Gers. The back 4 all look rubbish right now.

Wouldnt have broadfoot or goian near the team after last week.

But ur sure of broadfoot ?? thank god u aint the manager

I agree other than Goian, Boca and Broadfoot mate.

It could be:

Goram
--------------------------
Ricksen Gough Greig Albertz
--------------------------
Gascoigne Jig Durrant
--------------------------
McCoist Hateley Laudrup

Think it would rule. Left Jig in cause I want to give youth a chance. Was gonna include Bomber Brown, but the pub's are open at the same time.

Best of luck to you all!!

16 Aug 2012 14:09:40
Team for Saturday:

----------Alexander--------------
Broadfoot Goian Bocanegra Wallace
---Little --Black ---McKay
---------Sheils-------------------
--- Sandaza--McCulloch------------

Different back line, other than Wallace.

Let me get this straight, the spl are holding monies due to the oldco being liquidated, right?, then why are they hitting the newco with transfer bans and fines that clearly should have died with the oldco? seems charlie boy was right after all, now the world can see what a vindictive corrupt organisation the spl are. wonder if the sfa will step in, answers on a postcard please.....col.....

Its the SFA that have hit you with a transfer ban not the SPL so I guess their not going to step in. Doh!

Absolute rubbish, stop pretending to be stupid. The penalties are entrance requirements for the club to get into Scottish football. End of.

Your having a laugh you ran the sfa for years , nothing said then

OP - the SPL have decided to split the money that was owed to us between the other 11 clubs,nice work if you can get it!

JG

@2 No the penalties are to prove that the SFA and SPL are in charge, or try to be, nothing about entrance into scottish football. Both the sfa and spl need RFC in scottish football, get it!

16 Aug 2012 11:58:25
proud to be a gers fan today.

season ticket sales going really well.

great to see us all rally round to support our grewat club.

I am a Celtic fan, however I have to say hats of to you. I for one didn't believe you would sell anything like that amount.

To the celtic fan its nice to hear some niceties for a change cheers.

Good point poster 2, I am really tired of all the bickering between OF fans, its wearing now.

16 Aug 2012 06:59:13
Good result against the Aussies fellas. How was the game? and standout performances?

The game was awful, standout performers, possibly Snodgrass he was OK. The defence was dire, lucky that Fox wasn't sent off for a deliberate hand ball to stop a goal.

The aussies must be rank rotten if we beat them because we are mince.

Thanks for the info guys though can't understand why there's so many disagrees. Surely any win for the dark blues is a good win, no?

16 Aug 2012 02:57:50
If I was Ian Black I would not play for Scotland again, after the shameful treatment he received from the so called support after coming on as a sub tonight. bluenosecraig

Get a grip m8, It'll Hibs fans giving him the treatment last night.
maybe something to do with being a ex jam tart ..
Dont take things so personal as its nothing to do with him playing for us or about being a third division player ...

Forgot to say .. you watch scotland thats funny

With his style of play and reputation, he's probably used to that kind of treatment. Which is why he's in the team.

McWulf

I have never turned my back on club or country, a few idiots booed black. hibs fans i would say with no brain cells. i have been at ibrox when our own fans have booed our own players . edu , broodfoot , super ally had his times, mo johnson the list is endless. do not give up on rangers or scotland , get behind them . 1998 is a long time without a compition .

I remember Rangers and Celtic fans booing him after some of the outrageous tackles he made on each of our players. (Jelavic springs to mind, pit he din't spring out the way)

At least we didnae sign him.

If it is the case that it was Hibs fans booing an ex Hearts player, which it was to a certain extent given the treatment of McGowan then why were they not booing Andy Webster?

STV tonight raised the issue had black on and a senior tartan army rep and a Scotland coach........ It was suggested it was hearts fans booing nothing to do with Hibs fans at all.

15 Aug 2012 23:26:30
Let us not worry about booing, it is time to show we are better. We have taken all that can be thrown against us and we are still standing. My personal feelng is that Mr Charles Green is doing a good job and the pendulum has now swung above the head of the spl, who are now behind the 8 ball. Clubs will go to the wall but we will help those that are in the sfl, so those that stuck the boot in, LOOK OUT.

Look out,we will remember etc,etc. Your grasp on the facts of this is staggering.Green will be exposed,mark my words,everything he is doing is to sell season tickets.He might have got the same result with coming clean to fans but did not.Why? I would guess the large tab you are running up to Greens consortium might be the reason.

You say it's time to show we are better and then finissh by saying "LOOK OUT to those who stuck the boot in!? Also as for Mr Green - DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS MAY. He is a very shrewd business man.!

@1stop it my sides are hurting with laughing at the bulls,,t coming from you and your kind. Comon then tell us silly rangers fans how you know these things did green phone you upand tell you all this or as I expect you are just bitter that rangers survived and you keep making this nonsense up to keep your deluded mind happy. Maybe green is dodgy but it has become apparent so is the rest of Scottish football. The bottom line is we have to get behind. Green or else our club will definetley die and we ain't about to let that happen without a fight

15 Aug 2012 22:22:22
New campaign to start:

Naismith, McGregor and Whittaker play for Scotland = We don't go!

Will always support the Gers and our national team. We missed out on money for these 3 and I agree, it's a sore one, especially with naismith, considering we nursed him through two bad spells, thought he would have done the same for us, but flying the flag for Scotland is a privilege and if these guys can enhance our squad, I'm happy to cheer them on.

Get a grip mate.
Dtp89

Wow, just focus on your team & forget trying to start a new "campaign". You sound petty & bitter.

So if you earned 25k per year and wee asked to take a wage cut to 9k or move to another company what would you do? The clues in the word professional.

Shouldn't be going anyway as long as Doncaster, Regan and co run our game.

I hope you don't, Scotland doesn't need fans like you. And no I'm not a Timmy or anything else, I'm a Rangers fan. It's people with your attitude that booed Black last night. The SFA and SPL are a shambles, Craig Levein isn't covering himself in glory and Scott Brown normally plays for Scotland but the team still represent our country to the best of their ability and that is good enough for me. If you want to stop going because some players walked out on us ten that's up to you but if Naismith scores the goal that takes us to the world cup, I would still go through the roof!

Grant

Why ?

These poor guys former employers went bust and they had to find alternative employment!

Another campaign.So if you go to a Scotland game and these players come on
you would boo them.What you peepil like
Pot,kettle,Black (pun intended)

Achieving what? Yes, Rangers has had a roungh time but fans like you need to grow up.

McWulf

You are as bad as the Ceptic fans not going to the Scotland games as they would rather see the Irish play... I smell a rat@!

@ 5 wtf you on? running our game has nothing to do with the 3 players looking after their own bank balance etc
