At the end of the day it's up to the individual wether they want to boycott or not I mean tensions were running very high on Friday night due to what happened on Thursday it was a cert something was going to happen although I don't condone it by any manner of means personally I just went inside the stadium because these spivs and parasites already have my money for this season which I am not happy about in the slightest but hopefully with this EGM coming up soon ibrox will be full and bouncing again and we will get headlines for all the right reasons. cheers

The thing with boycotts/stayaway fans is with this taking so long to resolve these fans could be away from the game for so long that they may well have found a new Passion and never return to the stadium or let's face with so many games on t. v now its not a hard choice for some ; warm & cosy with a beer or standing freezing on nights like Friday. These fans could be lost to the game forever.

A total boycott is the only way anything would be done. this will never happen (pity)! to many different groups/factions who have their own opinions on matters. (rightly so) democracy and all that.
So is there anything else that would hurt the board? can't think of anything other than a total boycott of 1 game. that would be a first in football across the globe and would be such a spectacle that the whole world would become interested. If the world media was involved more questions would be asked and the hidden groups/men involved would at last be found out.
Just a thought

Agree0 Disagree0

Rf your correct in what your saying I'm one of them that is staying away and not buying merchandice, as I've posted I've had a cracking wee holiday with the money I've saved and also starting to realise just what I'm missing family wise on match days!

Agree0 Disagree0

Ally I agree with your post mate, but I also believe that people all over from Australia to England, to timbuck two, I think most people know bits and bobs, but don't known the full story, it's been posted already somebody like mr mccoist will earn a lot of money, book wise, Ffs it would be as thick as them easdales, so would be a part one, part 2, 3, 4, to follow, lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ally

I completely agree with you but would go further and turn up for every home game and not go into the stadium. Although not condoning Fridays behaviour of entering Ibrox, think of the statement 10k- 20k of peaceful supporters around the stadium would make without actually saying anything. This would be a first world wide and show the board and Ashley that we are serious.

You may say that this just speeds up the end and further pain. I say so be it as the club is under a slow death in any case. If these people keep the club on the same course the club as we know it disappears more each day. Let's take it to admin or worse by our own hand and not just accept what's these people are prepared to feed us

For too long we have sat back and just accepted what is thrown at us

If it means starting again then so be it

ally mcoist was the worst manager rangers ever had he was totally out of his depth

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 19:03:45
I've always had a soft spot for paul murray and it would be terrific if he does get a prominent position on the rangers board also done some research on dave king's other nominee john gilligan the former managing director of tennent's caledonian brewery and he also seems to be very highly regarded when he worked with tennent's, so here's hoping and I wish dave king & the 3 bears all the very best of luck in getting shot of these parasites that currently hold power in our boardroom, git right intae them!

It has been noticeable the silence from the organisers of last nights demonstration in condemning the disgusting behaviour of the few who caused embarrassment and shame onto the vast majority who were there to register their disgust at the incompetent board. My problem with the supporters groups are that they all have their own agendas and oneupmanship on each other that we could never get a fan- owned club like for example at hearts where they are all going in forward in unison and not fragmented like us. Rant over.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hear hear disgusting behaviour mindless clowns and so are the ones who condone it or try and make excuses for them

Agree0 Disagree0

Totally agree, I know emotions are running hard at the moment amongst fans but surely we can manage to stage a peaceful protest against the board, simply no excuses I'm afraid.

As it turns out more focus and discussions have been put on the fans last night rather than on the board and Mike Ashley, not the outcome we had set out to accomplish.

C'mon guys stick together but please let's do things correctly, why would we as fans want to throw barriers or force our way into our own Stadium while staff inside were frightened for their own safety.

Some fans should be ashamed this morning, they should grow up and act as adults, if we do this we will get the results we are looking for and have our club back and gain the respect of others in the process.

Agree0 Disagree0

Got to agree with bears. Absolutely disgusted by there actions. Let's show the world we are better than that. Let's not forget we are world wide news.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 19:31:22
Well said bears, it didn't look pretty on the video, as usual the minority of your fans, all kids by the look of them, make you all look bad.hats off to the rangers lady shouting "out , out!" (To them not the board) while the coppers were just chatting to them!

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 21:50:17
think u will find forcing there way into stadium was nothing to do with the protest out the front of the stadium
at was other fans at the argyle suit

Agree0 Disagree0

HHS joe maybe the lady will now turn her attention to the board, with her out, out cries. nobody wants to see anybody injured, but I still think if this had not happened the media would have showed no interest, they only got involved to report about the big bad rangers supporters. imho.

Agree0 Disagree0

Does not matter where it was its wrong

Dasshadow whoevers loans is accepted thanks to the mindless boycott

17 Jan 2015 21:53:10
yeh that it blame on the boycott again bigwull not that the board have no money to run a football club and refuse to allow out side investment if they had done there job in first place instead of letting Ashley rule over them we wouldn't be in this mess

Agree0 Disagree0

Bigwull. mindless boycott? If you think flushing money into the pockets of these parasites, week after week is good sense on behalf of the Club and fans, then as my maw would say " your needing your heid looked"!

Agree0 Disagree0

Craig. I agree mate, from whyte, to green, and all of there cronies thet should never have been allowed near our club, for the plain and simple reason they never had the money to deal with the situation now happening, it let's everybody know they were there to earn as much as possible without putting there hand in there own pockets to keep us moving forward.

Agree0 Disagree0

Its a mindless boycott now we have99% of what we want we are only causing the club to spend money the 3bs will have to repay what bit of that u don't understand or force the sale of lee wallace that's why they are mindless clowns the boycott should end till the result of the e g m where the board have to stand down and try to get voted back on but meantime it should cease

Agree0 Disagree0

Bigwull we now have 99p/c of what we want?

Agree0 Disagree0

Bigwull did you mean Ashley has 99p/c of what he wants.

Agree0 Disagree0

No us supporters macoist gone egm called for promise from king to have forensic accountant if however provides loan and security is lodged u will be able to check if there are any other names on the title we must now go into damage limitation mode to save as much of the loan money no matter whob provides it the e g m will determine who owns club

Agree0 Disagree0

Bigwull I don't think there is any getting through to you, our stadium has been packed to the rafters these last couple of years eh, and we're did that money go, yes you've guessed it into this lots pay offs, and onorous contracts, why do they block every would be invested, I will tell you, they don't want anybody looking at the books, once mr king get control he will see the books, and weather we go or don't go to the game these feckers will spend it all as they have done since whyte got his foot in the door, but if you want to go, then that's your parogative, but once we eventually find out how they screwed you for your hard earned I hope you are not on here complaining, rant over.

This post will probably not pass scrutiny, but what I would love to know is why many very opinionated posters change their label. Why if you have the courage of your convictions is this necessary? Surely doing this is a bit fickle. Be man enough and stick by your original tag unless technical reasons stop this. e. g. George is now redsox whatever but he has stated that and the communication line with him is clear.
We all make an ass of certain statements so why hide?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Billyb

if you post anything regarded as borderline inciting trouble you get banned and can't log in as you original name hence "george" then "redsox555"

note redsox not posted in a few days.

bluesnakeskincowboyboots

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - but the ban only lasts 48 hours and is meant for people to cool off, not to go creating a brand new profile as their IP address is what the short term ban is placed on anyway. So creating a new name doesn't change anything, the ban is not on the name.}

Seriously ED?

'george' has been trying to get back on for ages always comes up "Name Banned" (he tells me I know his butler)

redsox555 has also tried the same / Same result (he tells me I know his cobbler)

They both tell me as far as they are aware they have done nothing wrong??

Pray tell why they seem to be banned permanently? (they both told me)

i am george

ps They were also told by his cobbler that 'bluesnakeskincowboyboots' was banned too? Is there a witch hunt going on at RR? ;-)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I will get Ed033 to look into it tonight, none of the names should be banned names as he says it must be an error. I would personally be deleting the whole account if someone was banned permanently, they wouldn't get just a ban. The only names that should be banned are those that are offensive, so there must be a mix up in the system when someone's IP gets banned.}

17 Jan 2015 13:00:30
Something tells me Park etc will have their own ideas as to who they want on the board, and I don't think King is top of their list. I have no idea if the groups have had any corespondance with each other since they bought their shareholdings. I know they have a common goal in chasing this mob, but I hope they can sit down before the EGM to find a comprimise as to who they want on the board.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I'm sure though they will support the motion to get rid of the current board and hopefully there will be enough support to make this happen. hopefully they will be replaced and the club can start to move forward

Agree0 Disagree0

Aye stewie that's how I see it, I think mr king would have put those named up known he had to make a suggestion on who to replace the current Inposters, imagine him asking for gem without putting a suggestion in motion he would have looked foolish.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 11:19:07
Well the E. G. M has been called with Dave King proposing himself for the board now here's the thing that may scupper any chance we have of gaining enough support from other shareholders stv sport are reporting Mr King fails on 2 counts of the sfa's fit & proper person's rules. once again it looks like we're f****d if not being blindsided by ashley & the board sfa rules will stuff us once again
r. f

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Rf. I think you are clutching at straws, in your vandeta against dave king.

Agree0 Disagree0

I am quite certain the 3bears and king have everthing all sorted between them u invest that sort of money without any preparation

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 15:20:36
Nothing against Dave King George 123 I just posted what I read and my thoughts, its all a what IF, what if shareholders are worried about the fit & proper person rule? and what if he fails the fit and proper person rule? As when have the sfa ever done us any favours?
r. f

Agree0 Disagree0

Good reply r. f. , but I agree with BIGWULL, at this stage I do not see Dave King going out on a line. I feel he is calling the SPFL out to respond on a professional basis. Anyone that thinks Ashley is not the current influence behind the board's decisions is a clown, and although their historical decisions have not been good I think they will man up this time. My tip for new board members would be Gilligan, Park, Letham and, if we must, Murray.
I hope that the SPFL will boot Ashley into touch and I feel that King standing down will influence that.
George123, why don't you post a comment instead of continually trying to bring posters down?

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 16:22:33
@billy b it would be good if he passed this but he might have to take a sideways step unless for all we know he could've sounded the sfa/spfl out as with everything with us at the moment its a case of wait and see I JUST WANT IT SORTED PLEASE!
r. f

Agree0 Disagree0

Fair comment r. f. , we interpret things differently. I think it has to be sorted out soon, whether it does, who knows.

Agree0 Disagree0

Billyb:Execellent post,. I was asking if anyone thinks Park will agree to Kings choice of board nominees, including King himself. Do you think King consulted Park etc before his announcement?Just in your opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gkk, Hopefully, much as I am not his number 1 fan, I respect his business acumen. He will have done his homework.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 22:45:24
where were the three bear king and all the other people when they could have the the club for a song now they all talking about million of pounds. now some body puts 20 millions up match it all you who want to own the club

Agree0 Disagree0

Billyb I think mr king will have done his homework, my reply to rf was my opinion that from day one on this site he has always had some thing to say re mr king, mr king has lost money before, and is willing ti put money up again, he is not like us ie buying season ticket he is putting up millions of pound, so it's more than fair play to him others like Ashley are willing to lend us money, trying to get the whole fecking lot for absolutely nowt.

Agree0 Disagree0

Billyb I should have said I don't agree with every thing posted on here by some people, it's a banter site, not a site for lapdogs, we have enough of them in the board room.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 09:31:57
what maes it worse we have got what everyone wants an egm which hopefully can be won

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Correct, the very doors we should be protecting from Ashley, if anybody should be breaking into ibrox, it should be the fraud squad, not our own fans, emotions do run high, but should be protesting in a peacefull manner

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 09:29:52
why did the demo have to end in violence this all on national television it makes rangers supporters look like terrorists back to the scenes of manchester and many years ago hampden if the whole sorry episode is not bad enough apologies must issued by supporters associations terrible

Believable0 Unbelievable0

17 Jan 2015 10:14:43
A friday night is probably not the best time for a protest,with tensions running high and the obvious booze presence, there was always going to be a bit of trouble. I haven't read of any arrests being made and you have to remember its the younger guys who tend to rip the arse oot it,now I do not advocate violence in any way,shape or form,but in my youth was involved in countless incidents with our friends in the east,Villa Park etc. All of which I am now eternally ashamed of in my attained wisdom.All I am saying is right or wrong these things will/do happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 10:32:13
Sorry,one arrest I see.The police must average about ten I would say,on any normal match day.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 11:29:09
where was the violence yeh some forced there way into stadium and shouted abuse at hearts supporters
like they did to us folk traveled tens of miles to get to game only for it to be called off should never have went a head in first place ad that to previous events off last few days and people are going to be angry but as for violence a don't think so papers will do anything to sell there paper making it look worse

Agree0 Disagree0

Quite a bit of violence at the game last night with the trouble between the supporters and the protest. Worryingly this could pale into insignificance compared to what might happen on the 1st Feb

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 13:02:50
the protest was always to be heated fat man is trying pull a fast one and rob our stadium and training complex off us along with everything else he has its like getting your car stolen off you u would be angry this club means so much to people it is like a personal theft from Ashley violence is punching and kicking and as far as am aware that never happened at protest yeah maybe the odd shoving but not violence

Agree0 Disagree0

@5, spot on craigs8688. My sentiments exactly.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gkk I heard on TV there were no arrests, and craig ime with you on this one, nobody was injured, no arrests, far from violent, as far as I see it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Nothing condones any sort of violence it only makes rest of decent vans look like yobs no one should cond violence in any shape or form and any one who make excuses for it are equally as bad

Agree0 Disagree0

@7 There was one arrest, but that's no the point. You are so busy poo-pooin all my posts that you can't see I'm in agreement with you Georgie.

Agree0 Disagree0

Craig, George and Blue V. , Grow up in your attitude and admit the behaviour was unacceptable. Tensions were high my ass, just a bunch of people and being totally honest they are not Rangers supporters. As far as the organisers are concerned, they showed themselves up for the mis-guided clowns they are. In the case of one of the 'fan's spokesman' he wants to live in the real world. He does not speak for the majority of our fans and, for the life of me, I cannot understand why he gets so much media attention.

Agree0 Disagree0

Billyb as much as I now hate to disagree with you in case you say ime a troll, I think most of the groups you refer to are the people that brought our problems to our attention, and without them everybody would be thinking every thing at our club was sweet, these groups have predicted just about everything that has happened, so I for one would side with them before I tried to shun them.

Agree0 Disagree0

@10 billyb, where in any of our posts does it say the behaviour was acceptable?

I'm pretty sure no one condones violence. Craigs8688 merely stated that, given the situation and what is going on, it is understandable people are angry and George123 and I happen to agree.

Are we not allowed an opinion unless it is the same as yours?

Agree0 Disagree0

Blue Velvet, If you have looked at the video and the developing reports of violence you will see what I mean and you along with other posters are justifying it because of anger and frustration. Most of our support are angry and frustrated but don't act in that manner. And George if you can access old posts you will see that the bulk of posters were aware of our problems from very early in our re-commencing of trading.

Agree0 Disagree0

Billyb most of our posters know of the problems from the start, yes none more so than myself.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 09:29:27
Morning Bears, reflecting on last night's debacle just a few points if as we suspect we no longer run the under soil heating why like in horse racing were frost sheets not used at a fraction of the cost I believe 8 to 10 thousand to cover a race course so peanuts for an area that size, again it's the fans who suffer, also what does it cost to police a game like that not cheap i'm guessing a cost the club are going to have to foot again all through the lack of a bit of preparation beforehand shambolic.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

The ground was not frozen and to be fair the snow did not come on till 5pm and previous forcats were for light snow the ref stopped the game when the pitch was better than when the game started if he had stopped the game for 15mins the ground would have been ok years ago this would never happened

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 11:33:11
there was ice on the pitch players where slipping total farce by the ref on way back to Edinburgh from ibrox the roads where like a ice rink have councils never heard of gritters

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 11:58:09
Bigwull you don't just wear a hat to keep your head warm, what i'm saying is a frost sheet has many uses and can be removed at very short notice leaving what should of been a perfect playing surface with a dusting of snow.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jan 2015 09:26:32
Jesus the board are getting blamed for the game being called off now? Under soil heating is not good enough of the snow comes on suddenly and heavy like it did last night it takes hours to heat up,

These are the shops and products I don't buy from. J. D Sports, Dunlop, Karimor, Lonsdale, Umbro, Sports Direct, Matalan, lily whites, Sports World. If there are any shops you don't buy from any more let us all now. if you have any mates in Newcastle let them know too. The only way to kill a snake is cut off its head.

As I said the lunatics have taken over totally if the pies were bad it would be the boards fault

I'm sure Rangers fans not buying from ashley associated shops will hurt him. not!. the guys a billionaire man.

Agree0 Disagree0

So can you two come up with a suggestion Its easy to slag people off, I have made an effort unlike some people who seem happy to sit on their fat arses and do nothing.

Agree0 Disagree0

If u want to do something sign up with rangers first and donate £5 a month that's something that's concrete assist in the purchase of shares rather than meaningless protests

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry to burst your wee bubble mate. Already signed, bought shares and my Black and Red top.

Agree0 Disagree0

I applaud you for making an effort OCRSC. Unfortunately, NOT buying kit from SD just increases the bill the club get handed for unsold gear. Last accounts is was a little under half a million we had to pay. MA has RFC stitched up either way. Buy kit from him, he makes money. Don't buy it and RFC has to pay for whatever is left.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ocrsc u haven't burst my bubble delighted your making a contrbuition

Agree0 Disagree0

Bigwull if the pies were rotten it would be the boards fault,? Of coarse it would be the boards fault, they signed the papers to allow the people that distribute the catering, another one of those onerous contracts, maybe charlieboys dept.

Simple - Rangers are in a mess!

The board are in charge - they are responsible not the customers / fans?

They must go!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Rangers 57 it was not the board that burst in and caused mayhem or my eyes are worse than I thought cretins

Agree0 Disagree0

The news today should have been about a demonstration against the board, not about hooligans breaking into ibrox, all the organisation for a demo to remove this board wasted by lunatic fringes within our support, very disappointed

Agree0 Disagree0

Dougdunlop your 110% correct clowns that think what they did is ok absolute people I really despair everytime the hooligan element let's us down ed this should be one for daily question without doubt
