Rangers Banter Archive November 19 2020

Hi everyone. My fiancé’s dad recently died due to C.V.. He was a lifelong rangers supporter for 60 years and held a season ticket since he was a boy. I was looking to commemorate him and surprise my fiancé by trying to get the players to sign this seasons home top in memory of. Would anyone know how to do that? Thank you in advance.

19 Nov 2020 22:01:54
I have a top autographed when I was 50 years a ticket holder mate. But that was through a former player, I would try just asking the media or PR dept, explaining the situation, , sorry to hear of your families loss, awful thing to happen to anyone,

19 Nov 2020 22:03:58
You could try and contact Greg Marshall our SLO, Deecee. slo@rangers. co. uk.
I don't know for sure If he could help, but it could be a starting point?
Best of luck mate.

19 Nov 2020 22:10:26
Or deecee, when there is the opportunity to meet outdoors, why not just take the top, and a pen, and stand at the gates to auchenhowie and ask the players who come through if they would sign, i'm sure most if not all will oblige mate,

19 Nov 2020 22:38:51
Try and get in touch with greg marshall the rangers liason officer and he could tell you how to go about that Deecee1990👍So sad for your family's loss mate, to this terrible virus 😞God bless you and yours pal🙏.

20 Nov 2020 08:34:05
Deecee, sorry for your loss pal, bad at any time, this year has been a very sad one for a lot of people, I hope you can get your signed top.

20 Nov 2020 10:33:56
Sorry for you loss you can stand out side murray pk an getvit signed but with c19 i don't think players will stop or write to the club they might send you 1 signed.

20 Nov 2020 13:23:54
I’d just contact the club pr team or even tavs agent he’s the captain and would surely be more than happy to oblige mate. Hope u get it done 👍.

20 Nov 2020 16:15:32
Thanks everyone! I’ll get emailing and fingers crossed I can get it done :) @paul thanks mate that would be amazing! Again thanks everyone.

19 Nov 2020 20:36:58
Tell me bb, have you any knowledge of this case, or Rangers investigation ?
Personally I would increase the punishment every single case of this nature, wouldn't that be reasonable ? , i'm in no doubt there's a major difference in this case, no doubt at all,

20 Nov 2020 09:31:53
None of us have any knowledge of the case Tom. So you must have doubt as you are only guessing like everyone else!
But here’s some facts:-
1/ the Rangers 2 NEVER tested positive or mixed with their teammates and it was dealt swiftly by the club.
2/ 2 out of the Aberdeen 8 tested positive and they mixed with their teammates at training
3/ Bolingoli LEFT the country, NEVER isolated on return, MIXED with his teammates and PLAYED against Killie
4/ Griffiths had a full blown house party and Celtic said he’s done nothing wrong?
And you still believe that the Rangers 2 were the worst of a bad bunch and deserve the most punishment 🤔.

21 Nov 2020 02:01:29
Except i'm not guessing, its a proven case son, havnt you got that yet? I have absolutely no idea what they done exactly, but I do know they went to a party, that's enough for most rightminded people.

19 Nov 2020 19:46:06
Adama traora great p. ayer av watched him playi g fur wolves wish we had him.

19 Nov 2020 20:08:52
Have you ever seen a movie called " groundhog day" mate, great film, bit repetitive though.

19 Nov 2020 20:40:21
Wolves want 70million for him and he doesn’t even start in the team.

19 Nov 2020 20:50:48
U being surcastic weeee man.

19 Nov 2020 22:03:39
Aye mate, and i'm bigger than I sound so watchittt.

20 Nov 2020 18:12:15
Your obig enough weeeee man or is the wee man the nick name for another pzrt of u haha.

21 Nov 2020 02:06:09
Were you always this funny?

19 Nov 2020 19:11:51
Silly question but are the wages frozen whilst Tom and Gerry are suspended by the SFA?

19 Nov 2020 19:20:44
No bud.

19 Nov 2020 19:22:44
If they had any morals they would be donating their wages during their suspension to the NHS frontline workers. Do you think they will? Not a chance!

19 Nov 2020 19:44:02
What punishment did they receive from the club. Recall statement would be dealt with internally, do we know what form took?

19 Nov 2020 20:10:48
Bankie, the clue is in the word " internally"

19 Nov 2020 20:39:11
Deecee no wage freeze. Not legal, we can fine them maximum of two weeks wages per offence following an internal investigation.

19 Nov 2020 20:49:04
Tomthimb12, In addition to threat of contract cancellation likely they copped a heavy financial penalty from the club.

19 Nov 2020 21:17:18
They most likely will not release any details bankie, be interesting to see if they comment on the sfa punishment, but that will be very unusual as they will obviously know the punishment will be increased at every case similar, think they would have been aware of that anyway.

19 Nov 2020 22:04:24
Rangers have accepted and endorsed the punishment, wonder how the theorists feel.

19 Nov 2020 14:44:04
According to daily record Jones and Edmunson hit with 7 game ban. Anyone know what other players were hit with at the start of the season from other teams?

19 Nov 2020 15:13:31
Idiots and got what they deserved.

19 Nov 2020 15:47:17
What punishment did the wee ned receive.

19 Nov 2020 15:53:56
Agree yately01,the clowns both got what they deserved!

19 Nov 2020 16:11:08
They deserved to be punished, and I have made my feelings clear on that, but the SFA are out of order here!
Yes, punish them, but how can the SFA justify this punishment which is not in line with previous punishments handed out for more severe breaches? I take it this is in line with the new measures drawn up after the Celtic and Aberdeen breaches?
A can of worms have been opened here?

19 Nov 2020 16:43:35
Doesn’t Matter a jot what happened to earlier players, Aberdeen players were almost innocent as they made a genuine mistake, like many others at that time, the Celtic characters career here is over, and these two have had 8 months of warnings, did you expect the same punishments?

19 Nov 2020 16:53:37
I'm not standing up for the SFA here but didn't they fine Celtic and Aberdeen £30,000 too or maybe it was suspended?

7 game ban seems pretty lenient to me considering the jeopardy they could have placed our club and other in although they weren't as idiotic as that cretin Bolingoli, who should have been banned for far more than three games.

19 Nov 2020 17:01:13
Aberdeen players 3 games suspended bolingoli 2 games so no idea where the fairness is in a 7 game ban 🤷‍♂️ I agree they deserve punished but 3 games surely so it's in the ballpark of the other offences.

19 Nov 2020 17:26:44
The issue I have is the SFA have made an example of these 2 clowns, and once again, used us to set a precedent.
How were the Aberdeen players almost innocent? The rules were set, and they broke them, not almost broke them!
Look, I want the 2 clowns gone, and they deserve everything that comes to them, but all I ask for is a level playing field when it comes to SFA punishments.

19 Nov 2020 17:32:42
Whether 7 games is fair or not, or in line with what others got, hopefully the one thing it will do will ensure that no one else from our club even thinks about stepping out of line or breaking any of the rules again. Knowing they’d be hit with 7 games out and basically then having no chance of getting back into the team after that should sharply focus all the players minds. (Not that any of them should need any more reminders mind)

19 Nov 2020 17:33:59
Aberdeen players - genuine mistake? 😂😂😂
Bolingoli - only reason his career is over because he is rank rotten, not because he went to Spain for his Nat King, came back, played without notifying the Tims!

19 Nov 2020 17:36:25
So people who know zero about the circumstances of the case are shouting about the punishment ? Incredible, and after 8 months of warning you think the punishment should stay the same as the people who broke the rules earlier, before more millions died? Why would anyone think that? What would be the point ? Idiot football players would faction in the ban and take the chance, if they knew the punishment would be progressively heavier, would that not be a reasonable and rightminded response? Its actually scary and worrying that there are fans on here who don't get that these idiots are far far worse than the Aberdeen players who thought they could go together for a meal, like everyone else in Aberdeen at that time, the celtic players idiocy was punished at that time, more people have died, the warning got more serious and the punishment gets stronger, wtf are you on about other earlier things, whataboutery, pathetic.

19 Nov 2020 17:48:58
So you're confident enough to say the punishment was justified even though you don't know the full circumstances? Brilliant!
You can't have a go at people for their opinion on the basis they know zero about the circumstances when you yourself know zero about the circumstances, mate!

19 Nov 2020 18:11:06
BMGH01,I agree with you totally, however, could it possibly be a bigger sanction in the hope that brainless halfwits don’t do this again? I don’t know, just a suggestion, but if that is the thinking I would expect a 10 game ban for the next culprits for this kind of scenario?

19 Nov 2020 18:46:51
Yes they dine wrong yes they should be punished but 7 games is way too much and I ain’t one for conspiracies etc. but is a complete and utter joke 7 games when the people before them got a hell of a lot less.

They wouldn’t have played in the next 7 games but that’s irrelevant.

19 Nov 2020 18:49:14
It could be F0rfar, but it still stinks. The SFA are not fit for purpose and all this should have been set out before the season started so everyone knew where the stood. Did they actually think some of these over paid, over privileged, dumb f*@ks wouldn't make an arse of it?

19 Nov 2020 19:01:32
You've hit the nail on the head, BMGH01.
Punishment should have been sorted before the season started.
As the games governing body in Scotland, it's a dereliction of duty that the SFA failed to have anything in place.
But they had bigger issues to face - fitting in last season's SFA cup into an already crowded fixture list. 😜.

19 Nov 2020 19:02:19
The same crime requires the same punishment. Moral philosophy is not relevant.

19 Nov 2020 19:16:01
Nothing like getting your priorities right, eh BlueBell? They're a disgrace!

19 Nov 2020 19:29:52
Definitely agree bmgh01.

19 Nov 2020 19:32:43
Wise words, Bankie.

19 Nov 2020 19:53:07
Does it actually matter, they could be suspended for the rest of the season for all I care they’re nowhere near the quality of our first team anyway.

19 Nov 2020 20:27:33
Fm scary, the same crime deserves the same punishment, ? What, forever bankie?, so if I rob someone I should get the same punishment as someone who did it last year, bmg, why can't I have a go at people who only see pathetic conspiracies when you get to have a go at me?
You are aware of the situation at Aberdeen when the entire Aberdeen team got the rules wrong, simply because the government hadn't made it clear, you see the pubs and restaurants were open and operational in sheep country then and they believed they could eat together, like they did at work, that's perfectly understandable at that time, because it wasn't made clear enough, now if rangers feel there's a conspiracy here then rangers will appeal, if they don't then there's a few, who will feel silly, then again probably not, its conspiracy, its a conspiracy, I remember singing that, maybe your too young to remember, tell me, how will you react if the next players who attend a party after 10 months of warning, and are banned for 12 games, but they play for a different team, how will you react then, because I know that will happen, because I believe the players from my club should have faced the utmost punishment, and I believe anyone doing it again should receive even heavier punishment, but I live in the real world, its conspiracy,

19 Nov 2020 20:58:06
Tomthumb12, not forever but certainly within the same season. Probably 3 categories of punishment.

1. Legal punishment (charged and fined by police)
2. Club Punishment (internally as we discussed earlier)
3. Football Match punishment (SFA match ban) .

In this thread we are discussing 3, same crime requires same punishment.

20 Nov 2020 06:20:46
Banking, I understand where you are coming from but if the punishment wasn’t a big enough deterrent, which it clearly wasn’t it needs increased.
If someone else from a different club does it in future and punishment decreases then we can talk about fairness.
I’m glad this precedent has been set. Let all clubs follow suit.
We should be supporting it fully. Lead by example that is the club that we are!
We bicker over the severity of the punishment when it’s a few games when friends on here are grieving for loved ones that have been lost and may not have been if it wasn’t for the actions of others like these two. That’s the reality. Throw the book at them and anyone else.

19 Nov 2020 14:14:21
7 game bans for the Corona Virus 2.

19 Nov 2020 08:08:50
Not being biased in the least here guys, but imo ryan jack was without doubt the best scotland player on the park, against israel last night 👍Since gerrard took the helm at ibrox, he's moulded jack into a terrific midfielder 👌. However after watching yet again another wonderful midfield performance from jack grealish last night for england, i don't know how we can stop this guy, when we play england in the euros this coming june 🤔 Grealish is continually getting compared to paul gascoigne and that's some compliment in itself! I'm biased as i don't think any british midfielder over the last half a century, has been even close to gazza 👌 Grealish is a cracking midfielder though and i love his style. Man utd made a massive mistake not signing him and going by reports, it looks like man city now firm favourites to sign him this summer 🤔.

19 Nov 2020 08:19:20
Let’s hope Jack fit and available for Sunday.

19 Nov 2020 11:21:04
SGL. the best midfielder of the last 20 years. are you forgetting THAT scott allan pass? 🤣🤣.

19 Nov 2020 11:37:28
Still can't believe some people don't want Ryan Jack in the team. The amount of work he does and the fact that he is just a great player is a given, surely? And hardly ever has a bad game.

19 Nov 2020 11:40:40
Not bothered about future internationals. Only interested in beating the sheep.

Journalists saying that Kenny McClean wouldn't come back to Scotland because he's making so much cash in England. It seems he's on 10k a week. Our top earners are over 30k. We could easily afford his wages. Just depends on transfer fee and personally, I don't think we need another midfielder. Yet. 55s coming.

19 Nov 2020 13:38:50
Seeker totally agree Ryan Jack superb player.

19 Nov 2020 14:09:39
Did we not have this same conversation a few weeks ago?

19 Nov 2020 14:24:16
The full team last night were pish.

19 Nov 2020 16:00:27
Talking about pish, you're talking it! Ryan Jack most certainly played well last night 👌.

19 Nov 2020 17:34:05
Jack did everything brilliantly as usual for me apart from giving the ball away once. Superb game for him so how you can say he was pish KJ absolutely astounds me.

19 Nov 2020 18:55:26
The full team were not good enough last night they were rank rotten.

19 Nov 2020 21:36:27
😂😂👍🇬🇧🇬🇧.

18 Nov 2020 22:33:46
Was it not Laffertys sisters funeral they were attending.

19 Nov 2020 14:15:53
Jrs loyal, who.
