ED039 attended game with nephews
as promised, even let them wear their
"wee club's" colours lol, both enjoyed
it and joined in with singing. Luckily I
had my I Pod to drown it out.
Heard last time you played East Stirling
regularly was in the sixties, next week
you are away at Berwick Rangers (oh
Happy Memories)
Your fans are used to more salubrious
settings, when you go away to these
wee grounds with the uncovered terracings
standing in the rain, queuing up at
the one pie stall and going to the
corrugated toilets. Watching your
team struggle in the quagmire of a
pitch during our lovely scottish winter
so to all you sevco fans this tim says
Enjoy..... Timalloy
PS Your question further down about
where Lochaber Bear comes from I
think even this tim could hazard a guess...

"Watching your
team struggle in the quagmire of a
pitch"


Absolute dhumpling!!

The pitches i have seen in the third division are actually in far better condition than the 'coo-fields' of the spl. You corrupt money-grabbers could learn a few things from the third division teams........things like how to keep a decent pitch and how NOT to have an inherent, inbred hatred of Rangers!

Have a nice day now y'hear :)

Look mummy a Troll!

What a load of p*sh! A few points, good that your a supporter of all Scottish football and your obsession with all things Rangers has peaked and you've visited our magnificent stadium.
I read on, corrugated roofs, one pie stand, quagmire pitch and I thought Celtic Park why refer to it in this post???

As for "wee club" attendances speak volumes, SPL flag day what a joke, Celtic Park just over three quarters full, first home match third division, all but sold out.

And finally when and if you visit in your green and grey hooped top should we be drawn in a cup competition I hope your stuck in the corner where all the other visiting supporters go, we certainly dont need your "wee" teams supporters!! Saturday proved that. PB

all this tosh mckinlay about us cheating. and stripping titles etc.just because we lived beyond our means. if u go on that basis u may as well take trophys off nearly all the top european teams. we are thee best scottish team, and will prove it for many years to come. they can kickmus, but will never beat us

What a stupid post.Trophies will only be stripped IF dual contracts are proved.In effect this means dodging tax to pay players higher wages.The calculations are around £40 million in lost revenue for HMRC.Try and get the facts straight.

WHAT! Please, show me the evidence of clubs who broke national tax laws as well as national football associations rules, and then we can talk about stripping any titles won by said clubs. Go on, show me the evidence.

Pretty sure marseille broke a few rules.

Did marseille break national tax laws?

Why are people considering players that would require transfer fees. Were only going to sign players on free transfers. fact

You do realise that when you say 'fact' it doesn't make it true?

When people say, fact, or trust me. It normaly makes me think the opposite! !

19 Aug 2012 13:55:46
Look, after the last six months I don't grudge any Rangers fans speculating about their team's formation, the next possible signing, even being proud of a great turn out yesterday but as ever it is not done with any sense of perspective. The slightest whiff of something going well is met with unprecedented triumphalism, most, if not all, of which can be rubbished if put under the microscope.

1) It was NOT a world record for a fourth tier team.
2) The very fact that you did pull a huge crowd begs the questions how badly ran were you for years to be in this position and where the hell were you all when 28,000 turned up for the Malmo Champions League qualifier last season?
3) Generally you will have a bigger crowd than the rest of the SPL...when Celtic are away and lets face it at no time will they both be at home on the same day/weekend. Is this unique? Nope, it has happened every fortnight for the last 25 years or so probably, it is not a big deal.
4) Your season tickets are much cheaper than other clubs, supply and demand.
5) "No other club in the world could pull in these crowds" Nonsense, I can think of one several miles away who under similar circumstances would do exactly the same.
6) You still have the second biggest wage bill in Scottish football, you SHOULD be breezing this.
7) I read one Rangers fan before the season started ask "Right, who are our natural enemies in Division 3?" Do you always need enemies, hate figures? It got roundly shot down by other Gers fans but it shows that sad mentality exists.
8) I previously was a manager in a bookies, I was speaking to a friend from the company yesterday lunchtime. He says it is the best thing that has happened for years, endless bets for 5-0, 6-0, 7-0, 8-0 coming in per game. Yesterday's predictors of such ripped their lines up at 3.04pm. The "win every game in Division 3" bet, stuffed after game one. It doesn't matter if you score ten, the way that defense is playing, the one goal for the opposition is killing your lines left, right and centre. Asking for realism in here is cheap but your own cash is going on it on a weekly basis, hand on heart on the evidence so far, is that team expected to get a clean sheet every week?

While celebrating the fact that there is a team at all is very understandable and getting back to things like speculating new signings does provide some like light relief compared to February onwards. Is there any chance of perspective, realism and perhaps even a touch of humility and friendliness coming forth?

Gaz

Gaz you'll probably find that with the ticket prices being at a reasonable price people can take there kids along now thus increasing numbers. Can only be a good thing to get youth Interested in the game.

It makes me lagh the sad people that come on here from the east end as they now are actually jealous of us , they at most will be in europe against average teams till xmas even if they do get in champs eague it will be once in next 3/4 years due to downfall scots standard with only one team in europe coeficient wise, they HATE the fact we have survived, HATE the attendances and season sales and most of all HATEthe fact we are going to travel all over scotalnd on an adventure reclaiming our spot in SPL in either 4 or 5 years with some luck and good players, anybody at yesterdays game felt the fun atmosphere and excitment of an entertaining game, WE ALL PREFER A 4-4 TO A 1-0 NO MATTER WHO WE ARE PLAYING (except maybe tims) , so enjoy all your lists of nonsense like the above by OP it is so funny you need to do this as bored with your own site and formality seasons ahead next 3/4 years.... The Rangers on the way back george

Gaz who really cares what you say and why is the world press saying world record? check out newsnow..mark.

Pretty much spot on.The added bonus seems to be the vanishing of the knuckle draggers.Greens claim of £10 million revenue from season tickets must now be chased up by the supporters groups.What, exactly,is the financial standing of the club? Still seems to be a lot of smoke and mirrors at use here.

Wow this must have took some time and effort to write this pash! and for some one from the ceptic side to write this totaly astonishes me, obssessed with anything rangers do or say so sad ya fud

My God what a great spiel. Have u not got anything else better to do in your life?

Obsession gaz.obsession.and it was a world record

Well said Gaz these clowns have not a clue! They are grasping at anything remotely interesting to shout about as life begins in Scotland's most dire league, but it's a good laugh listening to them. They get a win against the worst team in Scotland and now they are shouting how good ally is! Deluded bunch of people.

Briggs

That was some anti-Rangers rant. Why are you so obsessed about us?...let me see, maybe because we're still standing and deep down you know we'll be back to haunt you. Geo the Ger

So true Gaz good post mate

George, George, George, all I asked for was realism, dare I say even facts, so in reply.
1) I'm not jealous.
2) Celtic making Champs League once in the next four years - remains to be seen.
3) I don't hate the fact Rangers survived.
4) I applauded you on the attendance.
5) I don't have any thoughts on where Rangers are actually going, albeit limited to a domestic front, not Finland, Sweden etc.
6) What in earth has 4-4 or 1-0 got to do with what I posted? I said there was not much realism in expecting 5 to 8 nil every week.

So there we are a plea for realism was responded to with two innacuracies, a misrepresentation, a conjecture, a wild waffle and an utterly pointless blurb.

Is it any wonder we leave our site to bring a bit of factual evidence to the La La Land that is the head of some Rangers fans.

Gaz

See that's the thing Mark, I check things, I'm guessing you take everything said pro Rangers as fact and everything anti Rangers as garbage. NEWSFLASH - the press aren't correct all the time. Santa Cruz 2010, 59,000 fans. Okay, got it?

Gaz

I totally agree 1)

Gaz

Great debating skills 5). Go back to playing keepie-up with a half brick, I think your record was ten.

Gaz

@2. you NEVER survived. you're a NEW club. hence the name... THE RANGERS. as for saying we hate you, yer RIGHT :D
frankiebhoy

You love 2 hate us more than u love your team and why do u all come on and check this site your very sad people and very little life john mckie

John McKie, to show how easily led some of you guys are poster 1) says he hopes the cheaper prices will lead to more parents taking kids to games more often. He got 11 likes and 1 dislike, including a like from me. In post 13) I say "I totally agree 1)" and get 3 likes and 3 dislikes?

The name Gaz, got it three dislikes, sheep, brain ignoring, stat denying, bad news phobic sheep. I don't hate Rangers but a lot of their fans are a major puzzlement to me but why let a fact or two or commonsense breach La La Land eh?

PS Strange that I would hate Rangers yet some hours ago on the rumours page wish Gordon Durie all the best. Start engaging your own brain before daring to second guess mine.

Gaz

Simple answer i went on tims site once and understand now why they are on here fully now...sorry timmy didnt realise your site as boring as an SPL without both OLD FIRM..... welcome to the entertainment site.... the football is fun site .... the world record attendancesite...the worlds top domestic team .... THE RANGERS FC....george.... you were saying....?

Gaz you really need to get a grip n start socialising with normal people. You seem like something of River City.
Dtp89

George the great attraction to this site is due to its real name Pseudologia Fantastica. Look it up and actually learn something.

Are you the same George who is based in London who posted earlier today? "The excitement and everyone hates us attitude I am loving." Your passion here is fuelled by hate, is that what you are saying? What a strange, sad, pathetic individual you are. I mentioned that as reason 7 in my original post, never thinking for one second that frequenters of this reasonably open minded site were that deep into their hatred but I sit corrected.

By the way George any chance of you ever explaining the inane 4-4 comment in context to what I had written, it still reads as nonsense to me?

Gaz

Gaz if it was a choice between believing you or the world press any sensible person will pick the world press! and also i havent seen any press release saying any different have you? please give source ya muppet...mark.

Lol dtp89, I have a life don't worry about me mate, I see myself as the caped crusader of accuracy, correcting Gers with some of their nonsense spiels, a truthgiver dare I say, a factsayer. I've watched River City once because a mate was in that episode but you seem a fan, I'll take your word for it :)

Gaz

@21: maybe the press have the same old lazy agenda and attitude. Record books point towards the Brazil 4th tier game but because the press say otherwise, you believe it. Worrying.

awryt ed mate how are yei? i seen dean sheils got subbed on the 24th minute did he get injured? {Ed039's Note - Yes he did, I haven't seen anything more about it as I am struggling this morning so don't know how serious yet)

Says on the Gers site that it was a dead leg

19 Aug 2012 11:52:11
Anyone know what's happened to the rangers iPhone app? Is it not being used anymore and is there any other recommended apps?

Scooby

It went with Rangers ,dont know if they will put another out for the new club

scored most of our goals when the shire were running on empty,hardly anything to get exited about.OLD BOB

The shire and hobbits were gunned 5-1 two weeks ago by nobody.

Doesn't really matter, football lasts 90 minutes if we score a lot in the last 20 we can't say 'oh we didn't deserve to win they're not as fit as us'.

You better fill that glass up mate its only half empty! Goals are goals mate. They win you games and gain you points. Thats all that matters.

Re Sports Direct. Heard yesterday at Ibrox that Sports Direct take over Gers shop monday morning and some of the staff from the superstore were in at Sports direct for training during the week.

@1 yeah you mention the fact that they got pumped by a nobody 5 1 but you fail to mention that mid week they had a3 0 win against airdrie in the ramsden cup and airdrie are a div1team lol honestly make me laugh always prepared to point out bad results but not the good ones just because it suits your way of thinking sad my friend

Post 4: Are you mental? Training for a job they have been doing for years? Bar code gun,£20 please,bag item.Here endeth the training.

Considering celtics goal against aberdeen was a fluke, goalkeeper error, and Ross county deserved the win against you yet again another jammy game, how can you then say anything about rangers wins or goals ?

19 Aug 2012 00:59:36
I would like to see Rangers offload goian, broadfoot and bocanegra as this would lead to a saving of around £30k per week. We could then look at adding other defenders to our team at a fraction of that price to help take us back to the spl. We should not need to pay these kind of wages until we reach the spl and we have perry, hearty and cribrani who can all play at cb. This would allow us to strenthing at rb and allow for more depth within the squad. I have a lot of respect for all three for moving their contracts this season but I believe it would be financially senseless to keep these players on at this level at the amount they are paid currently.

Power Ranger

Spot on mate ! far too many are not interested & are just collecting big wages every week... time to show them the door!

So the reward for their loyalty is to punt them after a few games. What happened to legends that would go down in Gers folklore?

There's only 11 days left to drop players and recruit until blocked until Xmas 2013. Two more windows without buying.

If they're going to go it needs to be quickly.

Completely agree, it would actually be closer to a £40k a week saving.

Not as simple as showing them the door Contracts must be honoured

Thank you Thank you Thank you....as an expat that was brilliant to see a sell out Ibrox today more than the SPL (default) winners had on the opening day. Proof of the best fans in the world...Lets keep in going. WE HAVE A POINT TO PROVE...

Aye mate. So proud of the gers, our support today was fkn brilliant!!! I was at the GF and loved it. And btw to be fair... Well done to the shire support, they were excellent and done their team proud. Well done shire, it's away fans like you that help create the atmosphere in Ibrox
Dtp89

You'd better believe 'the Rangers' have a point to prove. Years of lying and cheating are hard to redeem. Loving your optimism over the crowd size - nothing more than novelty factor inspired by Green's "everyone's out to get us" nonsense. The crowds WILL dwindle; you can bet on it.

2, what a vile, pointless little man you are. Do you not get sick of your self? You and the 8 tHossers that agree with you can go an do one.

Post no, 2 ....... UUUtter Dribble ! the only crowds that will dwindle, will be at parkhead, give it 6 weeks & we will soon see who's stadium is full.Ibrox will still be jumping... your clutching at straws.

Not as fast as the spl crowds!

Jealous much

@2. All the SPL crowds will dwindle irrespective of us or not. They always do, and without the four old firm games it will fall even further. I expect the same to happen with us.

Post number 3: in response, (1) no, I don't get sick of myself. (2) Why do a high proportion of 'the Rangers' fans sheen to sphell everything with an inappropriate 'h' through lhots of whords? I blhame the schools.

Spelling like bHoys ? Ger76

6, I'm feeling the love from you not that there is any from your post anywsy , but get this into you head imagine rangers win the Scottish or league cup your lot will be jumping of the erskine bridge ... Have a nice day my friend
