Rangers Banter Archive May 08 2020

08 May 2020 19:41:07
The current situation is showing rangers are still being persecuted by the SPL and are therefore putting all their reliance in Celtic to be able to use their influence elsewhere so we have to change their position of strength

1 all rangers fans send a letter advising all media outlets that unless rangers get fair and impartial coverage we will be withholding our TV licence and in sky etc case we will cease all our contracts with them and do it if they don't agree to do this

2. I know how much we all love to follow and support our team however we should support the club rejecting tickets for all stadium in Scotland and only give what we have to in regards to away fans at Ibrox

3.support the club in saying that if we don't get impartial treatment then we will ban all media outlets entering Ibrox to report let's make Ibrox a fortress on and off the park

4. Demand a independent inquiry into SPL including raising petition on Facebook remember 100000 votes will be discussed in parliament this will benefit all clubs except the east end mob

We need to hit the SFA all the clubs and the media financially to put the pressure on otherwise we need to rollover I say now is the time for every get to stand shoulder to shoulder

As to Celtic being able to handle the burden and bail everyone else out that would end up meaning liewell might not get his big paycheque.

09 May 2020 00:33:37
Too much time on your hands dave. I just don't get this boycott nonsense and it's the dark sides fault. I stated in here yesterday only 3 clubs want the season finished that's us hearts and them. Great idea boycotting the media then we hear nothing coming out the club. Have you ever thought how we attract new sponsorship if we keep boycotting everything we don't agree with.

Our board need to grow a pair and stop going along with everything to keep the fans on board. I look across the city and as much as I hate them I see a board that makes decisions and they don't always get the backing from there supporters but they do it for the right reasons. Everyone hates liewell but I can honestly say he has been there best ever signing.

09 May 2020 01:19:32
Aye that's right celtic will be going for 10iar (only a matter of time b4 they get handed this years league) . but we will refuse tickets for all away games. Be as well just give them the title at the start of the season.

09 May 2020 00:28:41
Are you working in code Dave.
Does 1234 stand for King by any chance?

09 May 2020 00:34:32
Fauldhouse bear, i must have missed it pal, where. Or when have rangers fc or snyone associated with rangers fc say we wanted the season to end mate, could you direct me to this information. chhers in advance.

09 May 2020 02:31:50
I wish faukdhoose bear I am just fed up with club I adore being slated from all angles I for one would never put any life before football and if that mob want it that bad god give it them

It is the bank handers from the SPL government and Celtic and the manipulation of then press that has to stop and nevermind all the decisions against our players the only way to start that is to remove all those at the top

I just think we are never going to remove these people at the top unless there is that much pressure on them that it puts them into an untenable position i mean everything that is done by the top should be transparent and fair to all sides


I agree the board need balls but they are standing up and now being slated for it they cannot win

I means let's get it right there are two teams who could survive without sponsorship that is Celtic and rangers the rest would fold we have been getting stiffed for years in regards to sponsorship due to Ashley so we would find a way

What it would do is strangle the coffers to the SPL and the small clubs it would also affect Celtics sponsorship by no away sponsorship being shown

Updates could be done directly via twitter and our media outlet it puts the SPL in a position with their sponsorship with sky therefore forcing the hand of all those involved

Sorry rant over :)

09 May 2020 07:40:59
If Celtic wanted the league played to a finish why did they vote for ending it now?

09 May 2020 08:56:26
Paul86, what's to stop them giving them the title at the start of the season? If we sit back and let them hand this unearned one out. They could say that cel*&c would probably win it because in our opinion they have the best team then they could have a vote on league placings and the only teams that would complain are us and the team voted last. Titles are won not awarded.

09 May 2020 09:59:44
jyf, if they did let them vote on league placings we would be relegated.

09 May 2020 10:41:27
Paul
Your club have publicly said null and void is the only solution going forward.
That would suggest they are calling for the season to end early.

09 May 2020 10:43:14
If you want real change you need to come up with a plan that all clubs would buy into and if you want change across our great country than we need to have a chance of government in Scotland this anti British agenda will stop at nothing to prevent the unionist way of life in Scotland.

09 May 2020 11:11:17
Haha aye true enough trueblue and some on here would stand back and let it happen because if we complained we would be big wains.

09 May 2020 12:00:51
And here he is ( buzz bin ) .

09 May 2020 14:06:57
Fauldhoose bear, i find myself agreeing with you again here mate.
We don't agree often but i do agree with you again regarding we need a very strong powerful managing director/ chief executive who is very capable to run a football club our size. I agree, although i detest the guy and his club, that peter lawwell is a terrific chief executive and no wonder the likes of arsenal have wanted him to come to them, a few years back. Unfortunately lawwell to be truthful, could run rings round stewart robertson and i hate that, as at our club we should never except having 2nd rate people, in very powerful positions, running our football club! You're spot on fauldhoose bear, he makes big decisions for the best for their club, irrespective what their supporters think and gets them right! He does know how to run a big football club and we need someone much better than stewart robertson IMO to run our football club in a similar way!

08 May 2020 18:44:16
Great to see the younger generation celebrating such an important date such as VE day. Plenty of Union Jacks going about which is heart warming. i'm not politically point scoring or trying to start any arguments here but out of curiosity are our Celtic on lookers celebrating VE day.

08 May 2020 19:12:30
Why wouldn't they?

08 May 2020 20:19:02
Some things are bigger than football allegiances and this is one of them so of course they are we all thank the boys that stood against person tyranny and gave us the freedom to live as we do today, God bless you all.

08 May 2020 20:27:54
Are you being sarcastic.

08 May 2020 23:16:19
Raised my glass tonight to both my grandfathers who both served and survived.

09 May 2020 00:25:50
V. D. Day.

09 May 2020 00:26:54
Have u got your union jacks up Davbeg.

09 May 2020 00:29:32
Heroes every one of them, thank you. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.

09 May 2020 00:38:25
You do know that a bigger proportion of the free state, population wise joined the British army, than the amount from the north of Ireland, these people weren't fighting for the union jack, they were fighting against fascism and the persons, so yes I will celebrate VE day, my mother was a nurse in London at the time, and she told me about the celebrations in Trafalgar square, and the happiness and relief that it was over.

09 May 2020 10:13:54
aindoh, do you were a poppy in memory of the lost.

09 May 2020 10:42:30
aindoh

Please tell us how they were treated when they came home for joining the British army, I'm sure one of your old players got awarded the George Cross surely that should be celebrated by your club not hidden in one of their many cupboards,

08 May 2020 18:35:51
Fantastic to see no spfl restructure.
Do Dundee get to change their vote again.

08 May 2020 20:36:57
They've got high profile friendlies to look forward to. Can't think who it might be against.

09 May 2020 11:44:26
Next season I really hope hearts win league. It’s all aboutshafting Dundee. We must not lend any player to them.
Also we should do our best to help out Partick. Loan players, friendly, they truly have been shafted.

08 May 2020 16:11:48
It is pretty obvious, and has been for the last 8 years or so, that the rest of Scottish football doesn't want Rangers here except for the money. So apply to enter the English League at League 2 level and let them rot. Average attendances for clubs like Crewe, Grimsby and Walsall were higher than the bottom 6 of the SPL. I'm sure they'd love a trip to Ibrox in front of 50,000! It is really sad that there is this hatred of Rangers, the most successful club side in the world, the first British team to reach a European final and the first to reach 3. Let Celtic dominate the Scottish leagues and add more tainted titles. Who cares anymore. Just remember, what goes around comes around. Stay safe fellow Bears and keep the faith. That lot out there really aren't worth it.

08 May 2020 16:51:06
English football would not let us join at this level would be div6 or 7 take us years to work our way in to English leagues won’t happen.

08 May 2020 17:04:32
Only way rangers will end up in English football is if the epl collapsed and there was a massive rethink.

08 May 2020 17:31:14
English football don’t want either Celtic or Rangers and the sooner you accept that fact the better off you will be. Scottish football does not “hate” Rangers just the way they sometimes address issues even when some of the things they challenge can be valid.

08 May 2020 18:04:52
still waiting to hear if the peng comment has been addressed yet or has that been swept under the carpet as per usual, all you mob have selective memories when it come to your own door.

08 May 2020 21:50:07
Looked through the current info and it would be impossible for RFC to join the English leagues. It'd be brilliant though, but won't be possible in the near future. Maybe if we registered as a new club based in england we could start from the real bottom, but we couldn't be RFC. just wait till one of us on here wins 100.000.000 on euromillions then we'd have no probs.

09 May 2020 00:23:01
and yet stranger things appear to be happening right now. and really. everyone knows nobody wants the dark side only.

09 May 2020 00:34:53
Id happlily start in division 6 or 7 to free us from the scottish/ republican hatred.

08 May 2020 13:41:17
Surely we must now consider a total boycott of away games. Let's keep our blue pounds and not support those clubs who are happy to accept the status quo of being ruled by Celtic. I'd rather donate my money to Rangers' Charities.

08 May 2020 14:18:52
Boycott’s. sack this one, sack that one, Rangers have become a laughing stock now off the park, as well as on it.
The reason rangers are being ruled by Celtic, is because our board and management team don’t have a clue how to stop their dominance.
This dossier thing is pure deflection from the failings on the park after winter break, nothing to do with other clubs, It’s become apparent seasons finished, give Celtic the title. time to move on instead off looking like really bad losers.
As for SG wish he would zip it also. early finish to season got him a get of jail early card.

08 May 2020 14:57:11
No true rangers would ever concede the title to celtic!

08 May 2020 15:50:43
We need to stick together guys, no away support, the blue pound goes to Rangers, see how they manage with empty grounds the TV companies will take notice, sick of being the whipping boys, this is the line in the sand day for Rangers, getting battered pillar to post by clubs, press you name it, as the song goes No one like us we don't care. Sod them all, new kit deal, investment, full Ibrox, if this can't motivate our manager and players we would be as well shutting up shop. We are Rangers a family built on standards and loyalty, tough times at present but we must not waiver, stay together fund and support the team, fxxx the SPFL and its cronies.

08 May 2020 16:26:40
Dont agree with the boycott will only cost us more points. Anyway the clubs seemed to manage when we were down the leagues?

08 May 2020 16:30:26
No boycott. Go out and win league. That will hurt our haters more.

08 May 2020 16:55:03
Yep I don’t agree they are going for ten in a row how would not going to away games help us . time to move on and rebuild for next season do it on the pitch that would piss them off more than anything winning league.

08 May 2020 18:00:17
Blue brother no way you’re a bear your hate is shining through your post.

09 May 2020 00:34:08
How can they be going for 10in a row?

09 May 2020 00:37:01
Bbs, sure looks very much like it mate, i think there names give it away at times, blue brother,

08 May 2020 12:18:07
If after reading and digesting the content of the Rangers dossier the rest of scottish football is happy to continue to be led by this incompetent corrupt and self indulgent buch of celtic driven wasters then they deserve all that's coming to them. Total boycott and all activity must be made to get out of this league. How the media can't see the spfl lack of governence is beyond belief. Unless they don't want to see it.

08 May 2020 14:28:23
I have just read the BBCs Tom English report on it and I agree with a lot of what he says. he doesn't always stick up for us but please read his latest report on the SPFLs attitude to the Rangers allegations,

08 May 2020 14:37:47
It's easy to get sucked in to the big conspiracy. Personally it looks more like incompetence and amateurish at the top of our game to me. I don't think it is particulalrly Celtic related and boycotting is really just damaging more the thing we want to save.

08 May 2020 16:53:50
Yup I've just read it jetmayfair, it's an interesting read, certainly compared to the rambling havers of Michael Stewart and that f*nny Sutton.

08 May 2020 17:02:23
There was a really strong case for null and void . but that was portrayed from the very start as not an option because of the fear of cash liabilities. This was even although the same cash liabilities are present with the ending of the league decision.
This being the case, the motives are obvious, and the excuses a mear smokescreen.
Tom English article is indeed interesting, and he claims the big mistake rangers have made is the timing . He believes that the spfl have a lot to answer but the timing have let them off the hook to a degree .
This coming from a self confessed tic man speaks volumes me thinks .

08 May 2020 23:51:28
Huey i respect your opinion but i honestly believe its celtic driven. Just look at the main players in spfl (past and present) and links to liewell. Liewell heavily involved at UEFA and the letter to them from spfl about desrie of clubs to get season finished stinks.

08 May 2020 05:48:15
Cancel the league and restart season 19/ 2o once football restarts. no champions no relagations and european positions are exact same as this season aswell!

08 May 2020 10:00:44
If that were to happen, does the sky liabilities still stand?

08 May 2020 11:00:14
See we're the laughing stock of the media I say ban all the media and reporters from ibrox tell the clowns nothing boycott away games and Scotland games give the nothing tell them nothing let Motherwell rott in there own manky stench no one likes us and I don't care 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.

08 May 2020 11:11:34
Why are the media not enquiring a certain clubs 3year investigation with still no answers.

08 May 2020 12:00:32
I have posted repeatedly re poor media coverage. It’s appalling they are not all over the SPFL like a rash. It’s disgusting journalism, they skip asking any relevant questions, they do not support our findings, Bill Leckie should be ashamed of his article today. it’s governance at a staggering failure. any other business heads would roll, Agree no more press into Ibrox, no more interviews with them and only take 1000, tickets for away games. Time to take action.

08 May 2020 15:35:36
Bigeck63, i agree with most of your post, the part i. don't agree with is away tickets, if we are ever to have a chance of shown people how poorly we are treated we need to boycott all away grounds, and yes ban any media from ibrox,

08 May 2020 15:45:07
Bigeck, bill leckie is a bankrupt person twice, just like the batch of ex celtic players, tho there probably still waiting to try to wangle there way out of being declared bankrupt, tho most of them will prefer being called a bankrupt person, its better than the real handle eh.

09 May 2020 00:22:42
Our fans need to be on their best behaviour next season cause if we keep up with the unwashed which I believe we will we don't want our friends at the 'spfl deducting points to keep Peter lie Wells popes eleven getting their grubby paws on another tainted title.

let's wait and see what with the independent enquiry, I can't wait for next season to start. we should play Doncaster in pre season friendly and totally destroy them. The headline could be Rangers give Doncaster a right good kicking. The unwashed are nothing to be scared of unleash the Bears.

07 May 2020 22:45:05
A small question for you here bankie. Do you rate stewart robertson and think he should continue as the rangers chief executive, in the aftermath of this today? He's now contradicting himself with the bullying corruption statements he now said were never mentioned by us. He's making us a laughing stock and IMO has to be replaced!
He's never a glasgow rangers CEO in a month of sunday's!

08 May 2020 03:42:52
SGL, show us where he has lied, show us where Rangers talked about bullying and coercion and you might have a point. Otherwise, it's just your usual hysterical bluster about Robertson with nothing to support it.

08 May 2020 06:50:56
Supercoop, assume your Motherwell connection is same source of your earlier glowing recommendation of Billy Davies as our club manager. On yesterday’s SPFL submission you are confusing sober reality from our club with the output of a press frenzy designed to do precisely that.

08 May 2020 07:38:57
I thought Robertson held it together well on the radio . He was a bit nervous but he handled the questions well and came out fighting .
Noted that when Doncaster did his radio interview he insisted on one to one only . Am glad Stuart Robertson just took it as it came .

08 May 2020 07:51:51
SGL, can you ask your Motherwell source, why, Eric Burrows has come out so quickly to condemn our document as non-substantial, when it contains some very serious breaches of 'Fiduciary Resposibility', very strange position to take.

08 May 2020 08:26:58
The covenanter, was it not suggested back around the middle of april that rangers ie. stewart robertson believed there was a form of bullying and corruption in a statement, when our club were pushing hard for an independent investigation? I'm quite sure that was stated and now robertson is backtracking and saying it wasn't mentioned! Hope that clears up where i'm coming from on this the covenanter.

08 May 2020 08:35:46
Let me also be crystal clear in all this rangers v the spfl. I'm totally wanting my club to have evidence to take this useless shower of s***e down, as they're most definitely incompetent and haven't the know how to run scottish football. I do believe there's no doubt hatred towards our football club. There would be nobody happier if we had big evidence and be able to get clubs to back us to achieve the independent investigation into this lots doings! But if we have our CEO stewart robertson contradicting himself, he leaves our club wide open to being laughed out of court, so to speak. If your stating one thing several weeks ago don't be amateurish and backtrack, when push comes to shove, that's what i'm saying. There's no doubt there's been wrongdoing within this inadequate spfl lot, but we should be making sure our statements are watertight and true to what we said at the beginning, in pushing for this independent investigation in the first place! Hope you fellow bears understand what i'm putting out here.

08 May 2020 10:21:06
Coop you say "suggested" it was put out there as in you aren't certain. If you are wanting to use it as a point it might be best to confirm where it was said and if it wasn't just media laying it out that way for a story. You are always really good at reading things when you post so would make sense to do the same here. The points I have seen (and read) are that it was put to SR that he referred to bullying by the SPFL to clubs, he has confirmed he referred to bullying between member clubs not directly from the SPFL.

08 May 2020 10:25:10
SGL this is not the time to be divided, I doubt you know anything about Stuart Robertson. If your knowledge is anything like your knowledge on kit suppliers etc. etc. then I believe its based on rubbish you pick up on the internet.

08 May 2020 10:40:08
Snell, it was a quote from our club in the media in middle of april and it was a quote ie. ""So if stewart robertson says that was never said/ quoted by the club, well surely to god there would be grounds for a liable case against the media outlet that printed it? I read the QUOTE and bullying and corruption was definitely mentioned. If it rangers didn't actually say that in that particular interview in the media,
then sue the a**e off them! Jyf if i choose not to rate our CEO then that's my business pal and of course i have my reasons which i've stated on here a good few times before. IRVGER, I assume you're meaning allan burrows as opposed to eric burrows?

08 May 2020 10:53:36
Thought Robertson did well yesterday presenting facts to support the serious criticisms the club made surrounding the governance practices adopted by the SPFL. If the Board and Chief Executive of a public company engaged in such behaviour, at a minimum, they would be immediately dismissed, barred from holding future directorships and subject to financial penalties. God help us if this behaviour is now the subject of an orchestrated cover up.

08 May 2020 10:50:20
S.g.l. I don't know why anyone could have a gripe with stewart robinson, definelty, not at this moment in time, I've been having a look around our other sites, seems they think the club deserve the inquiry, i think the people from our support that thinks we are in the wrong haven't got a clue how these things work, sgl that is no referel to you mate, but some of the comments i see from our own support are terrible, the spfl have already sgrred to give us another inquiry, they are rubbishing themselfs, imo.

08 May 2020 11:24:29
SGL you've talked nonsense on here for years and you have been indulged but now's your chance to tell us all why we should now be split.

08 May 2020 11:34:22
SGL Stewart Robertson is managing director not CEO.
Also can you direct me to where Rangers have categorically stated that there has been alleged bullying and corruption, because to my knowledge no one in the media or ND can direct us to where it appears in writing, or in a tv interview or radio interview.
Tha fact the press use these words does not mean it happened, as they say show us the evidence.
His statement live on radio last night clearly states Rangers fc and the board members of our club have never stated corruption or bulling.
Other clubs have, media accuse us of it, what has been said by our Chairman Mr Park is Rangers will not be bullied.
Stuart Robertson is not my cup of tea, but he is representing us well.
The Whistleblower act is a legal act in the UK and the man had the courage to come forward, so well done to him.

08 May 2020 11:35:30
Paulellen I know what a lot of our fans are saying about our club and using terrible words like embarrassed to be a rangers supporter? That's certainly not my mindset on the matter as i said on a post yesterday to a fellow ger that you should NEVER be embarrassed to be a glasgow rangers fan! My club is spot on in taking this useless shower of s***e on and hopefully taking this spfl board down. My thoughts were never made as to not backing my club because i do and always would do. I back them to the hilt on this fight, yes stewart robertson included. But that doesn't stop me having the opinion of that i never have rated stewart robertson and i have the right, just as any other bear has the right to rate mr robertson! I just was looking for more proof from our statement of and i'll say it bullying and corruption within the spfl. I know what I read in a quote from my club back in april and it looked very amateurish when stewart robertson denied that.
I don't want anyone snearing our great football club and that kind of statement i believe, gives them the amo to do this. I can't explain what i'm meaning any other way guys. The majority of us back our club against this lot, me most definitely included! 👍.

08 May 2020 12:27:21
Just to help sgl the quotes below. He says other clubs have told him they felt bullied or coerced. No accusations of who was doing it and we never said it was proved just that was how other teams felt.


"Over the past 36 hours, we have received numerous reports from fellow Scottish clubs relating to attempts to coerce and bully them into voting for the SPFL’s own resolution. We are proud that many fellow clubs will stand strong and not be swayed"

08 May 2020 12:39:57
Supercoop, best not to believe what you read or hear in a hostile press as attributed to our club. Check it out and inform yourself. Sure you agree but in this occasion appear to have forgotten and now spew the very garbage the press and the SPFL would like us all to give voice to. Stay safe.

08 May 2020 12:55:27
Couldn't have put it better myself Bankie.

08 May 2020 12:56:17
I don't believe Rangers accused anyone of bullying, that's what they were told was happening and ofcourse Rangers said we would not be bullied into silence.

08 May 2020 13:19:54
Jyf managing director/ CEO same thing my friend, stop splitting hairs.

08 May 2020 13:21:45
Well bankie if that's the case going back to my earlier post, sue the newspaper that printed it as a quote from rangers because it was most definitely written mate.

08 May 2020 14:02:30
And you get it wrong once again sgl I never mentioned CEO/ MD once again your research or lack of it let's you down.

08 May 2020 14:18:21
Why debate what was put in the paper the direct quote is there to read and see. It does not accuse the spl spfl or sfa of bullying or coercion. I believe there was further statements and comments alluding to this being between directors etc of clubs. The main claim against Doncaster here is that these claims were not investigated.

08 May 2020 14:54:46
Sorry jyf, that last post was meant for John25,ie. stop splitting hairs pal because CEO and managing director are the same thing.

08 May 2020 16:35:08
SGL it is not.
U don’t like being corrected when wrong.
U r happy to pull people up over name of Motherwell Director. Is that not splitting hairs.
Ps who is kit supplier this week.
