Just been in checking the RR dream team mini league stats.
Thought our group had done okay until i checked the overall list. Some guys have scored between 94-101 points. lol.
Still good fun though.
P.O.B. {Ed039's Note - Aye and the guy top of the league has the name Green lol)
21 Aug 2012 22:15:24
rangers site down
whats going on?? {Ed039's Note - It was playing up earlier, it was coming and going)
21 Aug 2012 22:08:00
Decent result tonight boys, main thing is we won and got back at falkirk for two things..1) the cup defeat last time and 2) the tannoy announcer for the whole sevco franchise malarky.. every win is a step closer. bring on the berwick!!
21 Aug 2012 22:05:13
we should rise above the idiots, i do not like/hate the green lot BUT unlike the idiots slaging us off all time i think it is good they qualified ... i know a lot of my fellow bears like me want them to lose for us it is a life saver if they can keep us with some semblance of a co efficient . i dont want tohave rangers facing 3/4 games just to get in champs league, so congrats tims you did well mind the arse we made of it ....maybe you can start by recognising the enormous achievement it is gers surviving and 50000 at ibrox on sat?...george RFC for life (but not a bigot) {Ed039's Note - It was a great result)
Aye great achievment in the ramshacle cup&why so hung up on attendances,as only lineing greenes coffers,if that 50,00 pledged there cash in times off desperation,would have been no liquidation,so cheers for the congrats,but it stinks of sour grapes!stevo
Well said George from a Celt, wish there was more like you on both sides.
There is more if like that. I personally just don't fancy offering a sincere congrats, to come bag to this page and listen to ar*e holes make smug comments bout rangers.
Dtp89
There's a fine line to it Dtp I suppose, having friends who support the other team, clearly wanting them to be happy, helping the coefficient etc, doing the country proud. On the flip side, such is the cash that every European successful run makes that team, more often than not Rangers for a number of years, stronger, wealthier etc.
So I do understand why opposition fans don't want the other to be successful in Europe. £12m just for getting into the last 32 of a tournament, it's a frightening amount of dough within smaller domestic leagues be it Scotland, Belgium, Cyprus.
I've never played the "what about the coefficient card?" regards Rangers fans wishing celtic ill in Europe. If there argument is it makes you wealthier and in a position to keep players or buy better ones, I get that 100%.
I don't know, what do you think, has the levels of cash from Europe intensified the old firm divide over the past 15 years or so? Making every league victory, more crucial than pre all this European money. Thoughts anyone?
Gaz
Granted, credit where credits due, it was a great result given their away history in europe.

It's alright bears we are keeping the cooficient going till you come back up
Vambo {Ed039's Note - Cheers mate, Charlie will appreciate it)
Charlie wont be here when you come back
21 Aug 2012 21:56:56
Charles green bought oldco rangers assets for 5.5 million and Celtic sell one player for 6million! Lol hope that bdo don't realise that! {Ed039's Note - What Celtic do are of no concern to BDO)
Yes but Rangers do have concerns with BDO
Big concerns
Would have thought that the only concern would be that there was no-one else willing or able to offer more for the club.
Are BDO going to conjure someone out of thin air, willing to pay the apparent value of £100 mill + for the assets (if you believe some of the cack that comes on here)-good luck

well done gers 1 -0 against falkirk WATP {Ed039's Note - Giant killing?? lol)
Yip, giant killing indeed...the D3 team are into the next round....just like the SPL Champions! lol lol
Hail Hail
ChrisBhoy
Fairs fair, not a gers fan. But that was a good result against a decent Falkirk team...
21 Aug 2012 21:46:49
Rangers game wasn't even on Bbc football live score boards enjoy your challenge cup while we play barca et al in the big cup
Funny since I kept looking at on BBC live scores.
Don't worry. We will enjoy it:D..
We couldn't care less who and where you lot play. Our only interest is the Glasgow Rangers:D
TTG
I was kinda happy for yous cause it was a good result but plums like u , i now know why i dislike yous so much, hope yous get pumped all over the place.
craig+babybear
Shows how pathetic you really are, good result in Europe, first time in champions league for four years and your on here!
You mean get humped again in the big cup lol doug t.s.o
Shouldn't you be in Sweden then supporting your team?
Don't need to waste your precious time feeling sorry for us... oh wait, you lot have nothing better to do (obsessed).
We've played in the CL before. Bet you've never been successful enough to play in the Challenge Cup ;)
Your only three months old, as I've said before if you don't have the rights to show oldco games on your website how on earth can you claim the rights to their history. Rant over I wish you all the success in the future {Ed039's Note - Because the SPL own the rights to said videos, even Celtic need permission from the SPL to show them and pay for them)
Graig and baby bear from wishaw via Hamilton per chance???
Hoopey67
At 1 it was not on the live score programme you can access through freeview and website, the one with open mics. You had to search for it on website
Owning rights to videos has nothing to do with liquidation of the old football club and cessation of its records at that instant.
This isn't an issue that can be discussed away. I've asked Ed039 before if he thought the Rangers history was ceased with liquidation and he said yes.
21 Aug 2012 21:39:52
Never mind We are the People! how about We are the Giant Killers! Firstly it was 2nd Div.Brechin City and East Fife, now 1st Div. Falkirk bite the dust. Who's next for the chop against the famous Glasgow Rangers? PS...Onwards and Upwards! Geo the Ger
Iv never minded that you are the people,well done tonight by the way,garlar07
See we dont take things for granted ,best thing for us div 3 upwards and learn to fight for every game will improve our players ,instead of playing some of the defence suffocating teams of the spl ,some of the best football i watched was junior and juvenile games which i played in ,i remember playing against st rochs ,couldnt take a bath after the game as there was a big shamrock at the bottom of the bath ,now i know how tic supporters feel lol doug t.s.o
There was under 7000 at your game.There
was over twice that at tic game.Now how's
stupid is that?
What a sad story doug.did the sight of the shamrock put you off washing for life,did you ever get over the trauma or were you scared for life,garlar07
Queen of the South next to bite the dust. WATP onwards & upwards.
How many 'The Rangers' fan think that a club called 'Glasgow Rangers' ever existed? It's scary. There's never been a club with that name! Ever!
21 Aug 2012 20:04:59
Evening Ed - Any idea where Kyle Hutton is? Injured? Would have thought he would be playing tonight, or at tleast on the bench?
Cheers {Ed039's Note - I just dont think he is in the squad, McCulloch has dropped into midfield, I dont know if Ally rates him to be honest, getting the Fleck treatments me thinks, if he is injured I dont know anything about it)
21 Aug 2012 17:32:28
When will yous ever learn?billionaire investors?pmsl..they would have bought yous long before greene came in at the last minute,hand picked by d&p..greenes 5.5million will cover d&p bill of roughly 3.5million,so he picked up ibrox,murray park& albion car park for 2million??bdo will sort this conman out just shortly& back too square one wounded bears!!!
A pint of what you are on, ya numpty
I am a Rangers fan. I know we are being conned. Green has screwed us, LOOK at his associates. Google all the connections, it is not difficult, too many people in the same places. Like the Bourne Identity, but for real. they dont get my money. keep THE Rangers, they are not MY Rangers. con man. Mr Green, why dont you sue the people who call you names? are you bigger than that, or do you know the truth, that means knowing yourself. I call you a charlatan con man, sue me. Come up with your plan, not your lies.
I reckon Green is the front man for someone else!
Well said post2,at last abear who can see the big picture,not blinded by more pr spin& lies,all this charlatan has done is lie from day 1,yet all the deluded& desperate are hanging onto his every word.....
He's still taking Lafferty, Naismith, and the other 15 that walked away to court.... He said he was suing them and every club who employed them. Was that a lie?
@2. rangers supporter my *rse..mark.
21 Aug 2012 17:21:13
I see Shamrock is claiming he has been "bear baiting" with his recent posts!
I am guessing that is what they call it when the have been shown to be complete idiots who have no idea what they are posting about!
Nice try mate but you are still the end of a bell!

21 Aug 2012 17:04:18
If u were Ally would u play three at the back or four, i thk McKay should start, give us something attacking and goin forward, if shiels is fit i would like to c him play just off Sandazza, with little on the right.... prediction Falkirk 0-2 Rangers with Little to score, we're due a clean sheet bears. Gowdy WATP... RANGERS NOW RANGERS THEN RANGERS FOREVER!
Lets be honest here. We were lucky to get past Falkirk tonight. LK
Single goal on the half time whistle. Desperate again. Ally's carrying some luck but it won't last.
@2. you could say the same about lennon against the spl new boys then?...mark.

i reckon celtic will go out of champ league. by the time rangers get back to carry the coneficient on our backs, we will be lucky to have 2 euro places left. the way these witless wonders perform in europe. we wernt great either, but the rest of them are rank
Aye right what's the dead teams record...1 win in their last 24 games in Europe.....clown! Your next jaunt into Europe will be your new clubs first
Briggs {Ed039's Note - Briggs, have you not got a game to watch, I have never thought Celtic fans have been obsessed with Rangers on this page but you are starting to change my mind)
Yeh come back and save us all,garlar07
Oh bless. Have a nice night in Falkirk
Witless wonders perform in europe, you are extremely deluded , Rangers in europe 1 win in 24 matches , Celtic 9 wins in last 24, celtic won 40 of last 98 in europe Rangers 25 or last 98, oh and our name is on the big cup you lot got liquidated trying to emulate us. VEGIEBHOY
Two draws and a win in the last three suggests you are the witless wonder.As for carrying the coefficient,one win in TWENTY FIVE home or away I think.Thanks for your input though.By the way are you not playing in the tatty gold cup tonight?
On what basis do you think Celtic will go out? {Ed039's Note - I think that means he thinks they will get beat by the other team)
Well Hector fan, you enjoy your wee trip to Falkirk in the Fish & chip cup, while we carry the flag for Scotland in major European tournaments. {Ed039's Note - Ramsdens, not Harry Ramsdens, almost as bad as the guy who mixed up Brian and Michael Laudrup .......... almost but not quite)
Sorry I can't see it myself no matter how much you wish it to happen its a hand picked draw. 2-0 win tonight followed by 4-0 home win. Be a man and congratulate them now.
Don't be silly Ed game hadn't started,half time now. Not obsessed just keeping you guys in check.
Briggs {Ed039's Note - That was quick, you waiting sitting looking for reples that are to be had??)
#7, C'mon ed it has exactly the same value, ie would be worthless even if sponsored by Harry ramsden. Last year your guys would also have been refeering to it as a micky mouse cup. {Ed039's Note - Joking wi you man, everybody seems to be biting at everything now ........... Tensions are high, 1-0 at half time in the harry ramsdens pawn shop mickey mouse cup)
Thanks ed #7 & #10, live overseas, had no idea it was a pawn shop company..... At least Mr Green won't have far to travel to redemn the cup at the next round of admin.
Ed039 just keeping my finger on the pulse!
Briggs {Ed039's Note - I dont need to know where you're fingers have been Briggs thank you very much)
Your as accurate as a British weatherman
Well dear hector fan, you were saying...... {Ed039's Note - Hector fan, really?)
FFS tims, Smeltic haven't qualified for the group stages for 4 years, nothing to brag about, it's not like they've missed you. The big boys will be rubbing their hands waiting for you.
Of course we've 'drawn' our way to a UEFA cup final and group stages.
45 yrs ago the majority of you weren't even breathing, that's how old it is.
Your at it again we should wish all Scottish clubs the best and not be small minded as a new club lets all rise above this s?t
Re:post 15 - when did oldco rangers last qualify for the champions league group stage?
21 Aug 2012 16:40:51
Do we know of any live streams for
the game tonight
21 Aug 2012 16:40:46
Shamrock on seltic page boosting he's got us biting, boring us maybe but none of us are biting.
Your post is a bite. get in the basket. shamrock lol
Nobody bites but some wally always replys with a barbed comment.
Figaro
You are still biting. thats what he means............
You have just bitten by posting about it! how sad
21 Aug 2012 16:24:12
I dread to think what would happen if this page closed down. A lot of Celtic fans would have no lofe at all and would be chucking themselves in the Clyde. Still always a bright side at least they'd get a wash. :)
Maybe most of them will move to norfolk ,theres a wash down there lol doug t.s.o
Trying to say we don't wash? It's always raining in Glasgow so ofcourse we get a wash.
Every Celtic fan
Do you lot never let up with the insults
Time to move on we not even in the same league anymore
If your the same guy that cracked the shoplifting joke yesterday, then you sir have just proved yourself to be a baboon.
Sir Chestnut Walsey.
Correct @ 3 so why are you interested in us?
"A lot of Celtic fans would have no lofe at all"
Man does not live on bread alone.

Good lord doug's back.You took that Helsinki result bad eh.So confident you were too. Good luck in the Pawn shop cup. {Ed039's Note - Pawn Shop Cup, lol)

ED; Doug only surfaces when he thinks Celtic are gonna lose.I actually think he IS the alien.Soap jokes? Really,from a reptillian your age.
Hi ed 39 dont think the other eds like me lol ive put on loads of sensible posts but they havent been posted ,not been my night tnight celtic after getting another square ball draw out of the bag win and i fd a stone right through my double glazing with the petrol lawnmower ,1 major question is if we target 48,000 to 50,000 season books how do we accomodate the wee teams from the spl if we are drawn against them in the cup ,we cant knock supporters and money back as its mind thyself from now on doug t.s.o {Ed039's Note - Christ Doug, I dont know mate lol. I dont think we can get anywhere near that number)
Only pawn i was ever in was smellies at parkheid cross and i was buying or uncle henrys at corner of vesalius st /shettleston rd ,did you get your hair cut by wee johnny ionta in the gallowgate lol doug t.s.o {Ed039's Note - My granny lives in Vesalius Street)

Ref
Lochaber Bear {Ed039's Note - No mate I am note andy gillies but i do know him and his mrs, only been in the fort for 3 years, I work in the hospitality industry)
now you got me thinking
i moved away from the fort 3 weeks ago to near Helensburgh (which makes going to the games easier) but i will still keep the name Lochaber Bear as Argyle and Bute Bear dosnt have the same ring to it. i must know you Ed as i know at least 90% if not more of the Rangers fans from the fort, have you travelled down on the Rangers Bus at all or visited the station bar (when Alistair owned it) after a game LOL
Lochaber bear (Ed039s Note - I know who you are, never been on the supporters bus coz when I go I usually catch up wi my mates and folks, but you may or may not know me, I used to work in the maryburgh but like batman my identity is secret lol)
Watch out ED39 stalker alert, lol
Watch it ED sounds like he might have a wee bromance boiling there.Or he's a stalker LOL {Ed039's Note - No mate, Fort William is such a small place that everyone knows everyone and most people know what colour boxers you are wearing before you even put them on in the morning and I am sure LB will second that, so I think he would like to know who I an because its a Fort William thing, it can be a strange place at times)

Any news of investment from 3 billionaires including Newcastle owner seems to have went very quiet.
Why the Billionaire obsession? Have a word with yourself mate.Your like some old tart in a club looking for a saturday night meal ticket.
Who said there was investment from 3 billionaires? I recall ONE billionaire investing in Rangers thus being Mike Ashley.
Your lame joke has backfired son, must try harder!
TTG
Ashley is not, I repeat NOT an investor, he allows The Rangers to sell their clatty strips and merchandise in his stores.
( Possible Fact )
Figaro
TTG; how do you know the guys not a gers fan?
Maybe its DEL BOY,RODNEY AND BOYCIE.
I thought Ashley gave Greene cash in return for 10% of the share capital of Rangers. Maybe ask your ma for a dictionary this Christmas figaro.
21 Aug 2012 15:01:00
Is it just me or am i the only one that thinks why the hell are we taking this german keeper on trial? surely our youth keeper is good enough for backup to alexander
i think we shud use the 300k from Edu sale to bring in a midfielder someone who can pass the ball properly, honestly after being at ibrox on sat we badly need it, JIG, black etc are good def mids but there so slow at finding space for the forwards
Agree 100% on both points mate but young Mcleod looks like he can pick a pass and probably just needs to play a bit more with a good experienced playmaker, I think Sheils was a great signing and if the guy had full vision he could be so much better but have always had huge amounts of respect for him as a footballer
They rate Scott Gallacher very highly and want to loan him out to a higher level. That is why they want a keeper.
Yeah i was hoping we,d play mainly youngsters and scots.dont see the point of yet more journeyman foreigners.when we blood the young scots they seem to do ok
21 Aug 2012 13:37:22
Just when are we going to hear what the state of play is with regards to the Police Investigation into the purchase of Rangers by Craig Whyte and the various dubious dealings attached before anf after the purchase.
This guy needs to be brought to justice if for no other reason than to confirm exactly who was guility and innocent in this stain on the History of this Club.
You have no history so that would be hard.....martyc1888
Unbelievably it's D&p who are the cause of the hold up.The liquidation cannot start till their court case is finished.BDO hold the key to everything.If they decide that some shady deal was brokered for Greens advantage then it might require a resale of all assets purchased.You cant help but think this still has a few acts left.
Its a disgrace, he is still living a millionares life in monaco. No justice. Also re ebt scheme, the longer this drags on i think the more its likely the appeal will win.
I think ull find we have 140 yrs history marty u should know by now the gers history the amount of time u spend on their site
@2 Red White Blue Ibrox Ally McCoist Rangers its the football team the fans support not the business aslong as its still its all still there then theres History but thats exactly what it is HISTORY who really cares Football for the fan is about the team & game you love use Celtic fans forget how close to death use were before wee Fergus came in we werent so fortunate but hey ho thats life but you just cant take it that we are still here & right in your face WATP Rangers then Rangers now Rangers forever
Rangers history will never die. we will live forever, if ony to piss people like marty off.these folk deserve to be pissed off
I for one have no problem if your the same club with history. No problem at all but I can think of 134million reasons why your not the same club.
Hail hail

The SFA advise Rangers that one of the conditions
to obtaining a licence is that they will have to accept
the initial transfer embargo despite a judge ruling that
no such rule exists within the SFA in their Articles of
Association but when Rangers require a licence to gain entry to the SFL the SFA demand that they have to accept the transfer embargo. Before anyone mentions
Rangers deserved to be punished that is not the point of this post,it is a simple question------Why were the SFA
allowed to apply this punishment when the rule does not
exist and why did FIFA allow it to happen.
They didn't apply the punishment - Rangers accepted an embargo as a condition of membership transfer.
Why did the SFA, SFL allow a completely new club, new company, new entity into the Scottish football league against their own rules and regulations, despite other football clubs such as Spartans FC and Cove Rangers FC having more entitlement and indeed the legal requirements for entry into the league, when will you lot grasp the reality of the situation, that the Scottish football authorities, contrary to what you keep saying, changed their rules to help and accommodate your new football club !
Finbar
It's their ball and they can impose any conditions on entry that they want. If the team applying don't want to accept the terms of their entry they don't have to and another club would be offered the empty place.
FIFA and UEFA have nothing to do with it.
Al
This whole episode has been a farce, spl, sfa, no intervention from fifa or euafa. Nothing done regarding doncaster and his mates comments. Nothing. Disgrace the way football is run, but itsnothing new im afraid.
As #1 said
What you need to get through your head is that rangers had no claim to being allowed into sfl. Why can you not see that the sfa bent over backwards to ensure you have a team to support?!
@2 I think you will find that TV money & over 49 thousand fans at the 1st home game of the season may have given them a better chance than the other teams mentioned.
The Pilot!
It wasn,t punishment, it was blackmail
Why do you lot keep asking this same question?Do you hope to get an answer that
you would like.Rangers accepted this punishment end of.If not they would have disapeared forever.Its a pity they accepted.
@2 when you gonnae realise that Rangers had a transfer of membership into the SFA and the same was knocked back for the SPHell. The application to the SFL was approved by a vote of the member clubs. All above board.
Post 2 the answer to your question is MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY
21 Aug 2012 13:33:44
With the transfer window fast
approaching we need bodies in ASAP.
I think we still need at least another 6
players as Edu, & poss 1 from either
Goian or Boca will be on their way.
I think we could be doing with another:
Goalkeeper - (possibly the German)
Right Back - (any news on the Greek)
Centre Half (Lyon U21 year old ?)
Centre Mid (?)
Left Mid (?)
Striker (?)
So Squad would be:
GK - Alexander + New GK (German?)
RB - Broadfoot, New RB,(Greek?)
CH - Emilson Perry (Faure? Lyon) & either
Goian or Boca (pref keep Boca)
LB - Wallace plus others
young defenders Cole & Hegarty
MID - Little Sheils McKay Black Hutton
McLeod plus NEW C MID & L MID ?
FWDS - McCulloch Sandaza Kyle
New Striker ? K Naismith, Hemmings
Total 25 & they can stick their transfer
embargo where the sun don't shine!
Think 5 fit strikers in Little, McCulloch, Sandaza, Kyle and Naismith at present is enough, with Hemmings coming back in the new year we'll have plenty of options.
I maintain that our central midfield with the likes of Black, Hutton, McCulloch and Shields who can all play there is strong enough. Wide players such as Mitchell, McLeod and in particular McKay should all do a turn for us in the coming seasons. Maybe another wide misdielder is required.
I think Perry and Emilson will be our preferred pairing for the coming season but if we suffer injury/suspension then again McCulloch can cover and the lad chris hegarty can play centre half i hear so maybe we're ok there too. As for RB, If Darren Cole aint good enough then we definatly need a new RB. Broadfoot aint the answer and we could be doing with his wage off the books too, so perhaps another RB and a wide midfielder and i reckon we'd be well equipped for the next few seasons.

Did anyone read the article in todays scottish sun news paper? It states that a survey carried out in the United states says that septic have the 2nd best supporters in the world! Lol the gers only got mentioned to say they were'nt in the top 25. Number 1 was barca! What a load of donkey bol#ocks. I had to go change as I pissed myself with laughtet. WATP - RANGERS THEN, RANGERS NOW & RANGERS FOREVER!!!!!
Did that paper also say Saturday's attendance was a world record and did you believe it?
Lol. They would top the polls and be number 1 for the most obsessed fans in the world, but not with their own team with Rangers.
Rangers1
Seems to be getting right up your nose mate.By the way the article is from The Bleacher report,a very well respected read over there.Now away and change those pants {Ed001's Note - you do realise the Bleacher Report is just a bunch of fan blogs? It is regularly laughed at for its inaccuracies on our American sports sites. It is not well respected at all, not even a tiny bit.}
Well we all know not to believe the media.
The Rangers fans are obsessed with saying that the celtic fans are obsessed about talking about The Rangers.
Believe it not Celtic fans are known around the world for how nice and clean and respected we are, and there are plenty of awards and famous players that have said that over and over again. For how many times have you had to play behind closed doors? You just can't handle that we are and always have been up there with the best clubs in the world in fans support, likeness and regonition.
@ 5.And yet you're on a Rangers page to say that. Your thickness knows no bounds.
Rangers1
Yes but the same paper last year mentioned the following as rangers fans. rolf harris,lindsay lohan,kermit the frog,duncan norville,and the entire playboy mansion
@4. Its only the Scottish media that cant be believed. JJ
@ 6).
Do you honestly believe your own drivel?
I have never heard so much rubbish in my life.
Delusion of the highest standard!!
TTG
Celtic fans have won FIFA and UEFA best fans awards.
Rangers fans have rioted at 8 venues.
So far this season rangers fans have had three games and 10 of them arrested for sectarian breaches of the new laws. Every other team inscotland = zero sectarian arrests.
21 Aug 2012 13:12:21
I'm beginning to worry about our signing policy, German goalies, Brazilians, Greeks, etc etc, we should be using the 3rd and 2nd divisions to bring on our youth team, we have enough experience now.
What happened to all those players from the Euros that were on Green/Ally's shopping list?
Number 1, what happened to all of lennys signings from the sell of Ki? Oh sorry its to service the debt as DD isn't giving you anymore of his cash.
@2 sold him for more than Green loaned you to buy yourselves for him and we pay our debts in full thanks.
21 Aug 2012 11:53:35
i see you lot want the falkirk p.a. guy put out of work. you want him sacked for a wee joke.. grow up .. shamrock

You lot wanted us put out of existence for the crimes of 2 charlatans!!
I'm really guessing here guys. but is it the st. mirren pa guy that plays gypsies tramps and thieves when morton run out. and did the killie guy not play money, money, money the last time you played there. come on it's a bit of fun. lets not take the fun out of football. shamrock
Your own announcer was sacked (tiger tim) for making stupid remarks! So if your going to come on here and take the moral highground at least know about your own club. And with your regard to your dig about the best site to watch tonights Rangers game below, I take it your posting this from Sweden? I doubt it.
Jog on now concern yourself with your club, we are good as we are thanks. PB
I know loads of Celtic fans that stopped shopping in JJB and plans are already afoot to target Sports Direct for the same treatment. Why should the supporters of the greatest club in the world subsidise the most despised club in the world by paying money to their co-conspirators. Sports Direct have already been told the effect this deal will have on their business. Us Celtic supporters are being urged to make sure we buy our merchandise from our own club shops, keeping profit where it belongs, in our wonderful club. No Celtic supporter should be buying Umbro goods, shopping in JJB or even drink Tennants. We should not be sharing sponsors with anyone (especially with a two bit new club from the the bottom division) and Tennants know that if they dropped Rangers then their fans would boycott them, that is a fact. Any Rangers fan that says different is a liar.
When will I see you again was played at the last ever old firm game. You took it on the chin then, why not now.
@9. what a sad life you lead really! i have a sister who is a celtic supporter even ive bought her a celtic top for her birthday and im a die hard rangers fan. i have no problem doing such things. the things you go on about and some of our own support really is scotlands shame...mark.
Poster @9 i see you have no name!! i wouldn't put my name to that sh1t either. bbb:o)
Re post 6: what a farcically glib interpretation of the long, drawn-out demise of the former Rangers football club. Orwellian in scale. "it was two charlatans that done it and ran away". In the first 5 years of the millennium Rangers' annual losses came to almost £140m, including a single year loss in 2002 of £35m. These figures were published, as is the rules, every year. And not ONE Rangers supporters association said a single word. Nothing. As the WWII poster used to say "daddy, what did you do in the great war?" let me ask you: what did YOU LOT do when it was clear that Rangers were killing themselves spending money they didn't have? And breaking the law by not paying tax? You did NOTHING. Do I have sympathy for Rangers? No.

Good Day Fellow Bears
Listen, I do fully understand how the extra time thing works, but come on what a load of flying fish, never was there a need for Fergie time to added to conventional extra time; this is absolute nonsense, an utter disgrace. This was blatant looking after the Leprechaun and his tribe fae the dark side.
And here was me thinking that Sir Alex was the soul recipient of such leniency. (Fergie Time)….
Anyway as long as we keep on track and turn out in numbers to support the wee man and the boys in royal blue.
Its great being a bear.
Goal was scored 92.42 is telling the time another inadequacy you lot suffer from, added to poor spelling (exadurating) and poor gers knowledge (Michael Laudrup). Is it the remit of Gers in here to get absolutely nothing factually correct?
54 and counting, I'm beginning to think it's an IQ aspiration.
Why did we not get a stonewall penalty if they were blatantly looking after us
I am surprised you post bigoted bile like this ED,anyone who watched the game saw blatant time wasting all of the second half
Dannybhoy {Ed001's Note - it doesn't really matter whether there was or not, for every substitution there should be 30 seconds added. For every stoppage the ref is meant to add on time, that means corners, free kicks, throw ins and goal kicks too. There was a minimum of 2 minutes displayed on the board, it was hardly the 5 or 6 of Fergie time, but the post was hardly bigoted bile, more stupidity.}
Re Ed001: Would it fall under Chaz Green's definition of bigotted? {Ed001's Note - who cares?}
Too many accusations of bigotry on here - left, right and centre along with saying posts are full of bile and hatred, when they're clearly not. It's becoming a habit for some fans on here to reach for the bigotry/bile/hatred card when someone posts something they don't like or agree with. That's just lazy, not to mention inaccurate, and not really banter. Come on, you can do better. Or can you?
21 Aug 2012 07:50:35
Is the Rangers V Falkirk game on tv tonight? Stuck offshore and not able to make the game. Cheers.
BCKSTU
Nope - too much European football on.
Yes its on channel 611 on sky {Ed039's Note - Actually my daughter is watching Special Agent Oso on this channel)

Does anyone know when does BDO. move in and start their work. Also that are the chances of a forced name, crest and strip change as liquidated oldco and newco are identical.
Finally one of you grasps what is going to happen.
Same club is it? But with different name, different badge, new comapies house number and new VAT number.
Right I know I'll get loadsa thumbs down for this but I think the name might have to be changed and I think BDO will be very interested in the way Rangers seem to be running like a phoenix company.
In fact I even have my worries that the sale to Green might find its way to the courts with BDO wanting it overturned.
As for Duff and Phelps... does anybody know what they're doing at the moment & are they still screwing money out of Rangers?

Charles Green, he sells the team
Charles Green arrived at Bramall Lane in September 1995 and was appointed as Chief Executive by Manchester businessman Mike McDonald in February 1996, following the latter's takeover of the club. With McDonald making a number of laudable objectives to try and lift the Blades out of the doldrums; Green's job, as McDonald's man on the ground, was to make it happen. Green's appointment and involvement was sold as a positive thing for United. Presented as "a football man" thanks to his involvement as a professional player until injury ended his career and his focus switched to business.What actually occurred over the next three years was a turnaround of fortunes on the pitch and the signing of relatively big name players for the Championship, but the rug was pulled from under it all before any tangible success was achieved.The early days of Green's involvement saw Dave Bassett's reign as manager come to an end. With supporter discontent high, yet a recognition of what Bassett had achieved for the club, there were mixed emotions around Bramall Lane when Bassett left by mutual consent. That should have been that, but an agreed compensation package didn't materialise as Bassett had expected and he later stated that an attempt to argue his case with Green led to the latter offering to sort it out in the car park, allegedly not the only time such managerial tactics were employed.Under Bassett's replacement, Howard Kendall, United went through a significant turnover of players as funds were provided to increase the quality of the squad. As United escaped relegation and the following season reached the play off final, the club seemed to be on the up, despite the last minute play off final defeat to Palace. However, little did the fans know the extent to which problems were bubbling away beneath the surface. Problems derived from over ambition at board level and some incredibly poor decision making by Green that would start to unravel in the following 18 months and beyond.United continued to invest in well-known players; he return of former hero Brian Deane was presented as a coup for the club. Dean Saunders was also signed. With Jan Aage Fjortoft and Gareth Taylor already at the club, the Blades had an embarrassment of riches in terms of attacking quality. However it had come at an unsustainable price.In the summer of 1998 Steve Bruce was appointed manager and was reportedly staggered at some of the salaries and contracts negotiated by Green. A fans forum was told that Saunders and Deane together were being paid more than Dave Bassett's entire squad of three years previous.Deane himself has talked of how he tried to temper negotiations so the club didn't end up with problems."I bought into what I was being told by the Chief Executive at the time (Charles Green) as to what they wanted to achieve at Sheffield United. I was really up for it. They even offered me a two year contract and I said, "Look, I'll sign a one year contract and we will review it".
I had been in the Premier League with Leeds on Premier League wages, although nothing like what they are today. It was a contract where I thought that if we aren't promoted it is going to be hard for the club to be able to afford it in this division. At the time I was thinking that I really want to be here and if you're telling me that we are going to build a team that is capable of going up and then competing in the Premier League, then I'm in for that. I'd seen Paul Merson go up to Middlesbrough, he was still at the peak of his powers, so they obviously had a plan and I wanted to do the same at United. "Howard Kendall returned to Everton and in a surprising move Nigel Spackman, on United's books as a player, was appointed as manager, his first managerial role. This is when things started to unravel. Following Spackman's appointment as manager Charles Green stated that the manager had signed a three year deal. However, rumours persisted that Spackman hadn't actually signed it. A playing contract remained in place, on more advantageous terms to the managerial contract and so the latter remained unsigned. Green was increasingly seen as untrustworthy by the fans.Mounting financial losses led to player departures, alongside long term injuries to key players, this led to Spackman asking for funds for new players. Green's response was to sell £2.5m of players, claiming that this wouldn't affect the club's promotion prospects.Fans increasingly believed that Green was interfering in team affairs. The persistent questioning on the matter was irritating Spackman and led to Mike McDonald issuing a statement refuting the rumours and saying a three hour meeting had been held to thrash out the issue. Maybe director involvement in team affairs is more common now and wouldn't cause as much fuss. It wasn't that outwardly common then and it was upsetting fans. It was as if Green believed his brief involvement in the game as a player made him qualified to be involved in what should be managerial duties. There are those who believe he had a say in picking the team, although this has never been proved.During Green's reign as Chief Executive, several long-standing members of staff left Bramall Lane; including the club physio, kit man and several backroom staff. This built on rumours questioning who was managing these key team roles; Spackman or Green. Departing players talked of increased director involvement and team unrest as players were being "treated as pawns".Green told the press that Utrecht had enquired after popular striker Gareth Taylor, to which Taylor responded that he knew nothing of it and was in the dark on the whole situation. In the end, interviews given by Spackman and a FC Utrecht spokesman suggested that a player would have to be leaving Bramall Lane, whether it Taylor or another saleable asset. It was something Spackman admitted he had little say over. Then Mike McDonald admitted that players would have to be sold to stave off financial suicide.His argument was that the attendances were not high enough to support the squad size and wage bill. He suggested that he had been led to believe that crowds would increase with successful football and investment in the team, but it hadn't happened. That risk taking was, apparently, the fans fault. This "financial suicide" that McDonald referred to was something he and Green had personally presided over. To take the phrase used by the chairman of another Yorkshire based club following their financial suicide, there was an element of them "living the dream".At the end of the day McDonald was in it to make money and the decisions he and Green had implemented were losing money on a weekly basis, albeit with on-pitch success. Prior to buying United he had failed to achieve a takeover of his beloved Manchester City and this was an alternative chance to "invest" in football. He had even admitted United had been his choice, because they represented a better opportunity to make money.Eventually things came to a head when Deane and Fjortoft were sold on the same day, with manager Spackman not even aware of the deal. He was aware Fjortoft may be on his way to Barnsley, but thought Deane was late for training until he spoke to him on the phone and found he was in Lisbon, heading for talks with Benfica. It was portrayed in the media as players wanting to leave, but Brian Deane recalls differently;"There is a lot about leaving United that I still cannot get to the bottom of. There are some things that I am still in the dark about. When I heard that I had wanted to leave, I wondered where that came from. I never said that."
Green was becoming increasingly irascible. Apparently challenged by then director (now majority shareholder) Kevin McCabe and others that they would be lynched if Deane and Fjortoft were sold on the same day, Green's response was to say he didn't give a damn and that he would sell Taylor as well. As further players criticised the McDonald/Green regime, including Fjortoft, the only thing the duo could do was resort to personal slurs. Fjortoft - scorer of 23 goals in 42 games was branded "lazy" and Fjortoft was quick to respond to with both anger and an eagerness to expose further "lies" of Green and McDonald.Spackman eventually resigned shortly after this double blow of having his two best strikers sold without his knowledge. The striking duo's departure had been followed by the sale of Don Hutchison and the departure of Spackman's assistant Willie Donachie, who left for Manchester City. His departure was followed by more slurs from McDonald/Green; McDonald claiming Spackman's appointment was one he was never 100% happy with despite his public positivity when those questioned his lack of experience at the time.With United challenging for promotion to the Premier League and on a decent FA Cup run, fans could see the season unravelling. They had been sold a pup by McDonald and Green yet they were the ones who were apparently to blame. Fans chanted "Charles Green, he sells the team". They were right. He had built a team with signings he had made, on wages the club couldn't afford and McDonald was unwilling to subsidise. In the end, under temporary manager Steve Thompson, United lost in the play offs and in the cup semi-final. A season that had promised much, had delivered some great games, but no end product."I am Chief Executive. I take the decisons and I live by them" was Green's retort to criticism of his operations. In the end he died by them. His position becoming increasingly untenable, in March 1998, Green's role was "redefined" and moved away from team and management affairs; his removal from the club impossible at the time due to pro-McDonald factions on the board. His eventual resignation saw him receiving a payment in excess of £100,000 an amount that caused consternation and raised questions when highlighted by fans and shareholders at the AGM. He didn't do badly for himself out of a relatively unsuccessful spell at Bramall Lane.In between times new manager Steve Bruce had become increasingly vocal about the difficulty of doing his job, players were targeted but not signed, and existing players were sold. It was like managing with his hands tied behind his back. He was paying the price for previous gambles that hadn't been given the chance to pay off. The plug pulled in panic. No-one can say whether United would have reached the Premier League if Deane, Fjortoft, Hutchison and others hadn't been sold but, given the margins involved there must have been a good chance.Charles Green is a much vilified figure at Bramall Lane. He may have just been a puppet for McDonald; he may have been the ultimate decision maker, guiding the investor. Either way the manner by which he went about his business won him few friends within the club, or with the fans.
Now, after a significant absence, Green is back in football with Rangers. The fans should treat his arrival with caution. What his role will be day-to-day remains to be seen. But the last thing Rangers need now is a man who takes risks, a man who panics when the risks don't pay off and a man who fans doubt they can trust.
THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL, THIS TIME GREEN HAS A BIGGER STAGE TO PERFORM ON; A BIGGER MESS TO MAKE!
There's only one Charles Green.
What a waste of a post. We all know about his time at Sheff Utd. At the end of the day he has saved our club and sanctioned the signings of decent players, so happy days.
Your scaremongering won't wash with me....unlucky!
TTG
O/P good at cutting/posting read this on a disgruntled Sheffield /united site ages ago.Three little discrepancies to original post.
1)Allys bringing in the players.
2)wages are substanable.
3)Rangers have got the support.
So I do not understand your rant.
What salary do you think Green is on? Well I will tell you £1,000,000 per annum plus bonus for 3 successive promotions.
He saved nothing!
His CVA was rejected.
He bought the stadium and training ground with his company SevcoScotland ten proceeded to call a new club The Rangers.
Do you lot really think Ticketus are away?
Think again!
Watch this space! ;-)

Congrats to Mr Green, Ally and all the Rangers fans that have challenge any decisions, injustices, etc against the club during the past few months. Gone are the days when we remained relatively quiet, which was interpreted by many as weakness. Keep up the good work!
Would you like to list these so called injustices? Fact is The rangers got cut slack to even apply to the SFL.You really need to give this persecution complex up.
The timmys don't like it though, that for once we are not backing down and standing up for our own interests. Too many times we have kept quiet and let the mhedia say what they want. Not anymore, whilst I don't agree with everything that comes out from Ibrox at least I do agree with the new defensive attitude.
Rangers have never kept quiet! 'mhedia'? Nonsense - Murray had the media in his pocket for years.
What's this talk of media against you? You always had a media reporter on you bill and at the table taking in everything Murray would say hence you fans thought all was good when it wasn't. The media has always written about the positive side of your club. And the whole kept quite crap, did you or have you not forgotten abou ally green white Murray all having there word about bigotry this(even thought your policy was not to sign a catholic for many a years) ppl haven a kick that and demand names so they get threaten and using anger and scare tactics to get what yous want? But that's all tuned out cause servco is all about positive and friendship peace right, NOT!

Brilliant news if true Heard that Billionaire Jim McColl is being linked yet again with The Rangers I would love it to be true {Ed039's Note - Again????)
He was part of Watty smiths bid
gazza 72
Along with Kennedy and the Blue Knights??? THIS IS HUGE!! ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz
Again the Billionaire obsession.Seems anybody just mentions the word and you are ready for world domination!Do you think any of these guys will give Green money? And why not?
We have a billionaire . dermott desmond. the reason these guys are billionaires is because they wont spend a penny they don't have to. at the last count desmond was worth about 1.4 billion and we limp along with £7m debt. so if you think mccoll is going to throw money at you, think again. it doesn't work that way , unless you are in the epl.. shamrock
Why didn't Walter pursue the bid from his consortium with McColl further?
Must say I still find that part of the saga very mysterious.
Dermott desmond can only come into this country and ireland so many days a a year like so many others expats their all tax dodgers
Have to laugh at the slight "taxDodgers". Really, did you mean to say that
Vambo
Do you not know what tax exile means?
