It's getting prickly on here again!
Which is understandable as we always lose the plot when:-
1/ nothing left to play for this season as all chance of silverware has gone again.
2/ another new manager required. Considering we've had 19 nineteen permanent managers in our 153-year history ( 2 twice ), looking for our 7th in 10 years is a disappointment.
3/ an Old Firm game is on the horizon against a team who in all expectations will have swept the board domestically again.
We need to realise that we all have the best interests of Rangers at heart.
Difference of opinions can cause passionate, angry debate. Which can result in respect against our fellow bluenoses going out the window.
We have some wonderful posters on here.
From the ITK - Asathor, John, EHL, Ibrox4Me, WhiteHorse, Copland5 ( who seems to be MIA ) to many others with the odd snippet of info.
We have the passionate about all things Rangers - SWS, BoyBlue, StevieG, Mark44 and more.
We have those with a huge knowledge of football - MyStar, Angus etc.
We have those that bring some much-needed light relief at times - Three Cheers, Fork and others.
We have those who like a long post - Stig - to those who like a couple of words.
There are some old timers who are as passionate about Rangers as they were 40 years ago - Seeker, TT, Doiger, JFM, Irvger, MBW and more.
We have those that will stand there ground no matter what but will never fall out with anyone and will happily debate the next day - Storm, Sunshine and others.
We even have lurkers, imposters, and the man with a Thousand Names.
I hope I haven't offended anyone by putting them in a category they don't see themselves. And those I may have missed out.
It's just to show that Rangers Rumours takes all sorts to make it what it is.
A wonderful site where we can discuss, vent and sort everything about Rangers to right ( or wrong depending on your opinion ).
A place where we can get info before the poor MSM in this country.
All under the control and supervision ( which can be badly needed ) of the brilliant Ed's - 001 and 033.
Who let's not forget, if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have this place in the first place.
If I've offended anyone recently ( or anytime ) - I apologise.
Respect for all those who post.

Good post MPH and happy to be in that category but I must acknowledge Google and the other posters whose posts tweak my interest for making me do the research.
It is quite funny actually that the fall outs have been difficult at times to see and I always try to think that what someone is writing isn't probably meant to read as bad, aggressive or disparaging as it does. I say that as someone who writes posts regularly that fall into those categories.
just need to remember that life is far too short to fall out with anyone for a long time.

Excellent assessment and post of the make up (some wear it, u know who u are?) of the rabble of folk who habituate our wonderful site, great post MPH??.
23 apr 2025 10:03:03

23 Apr 2025 10:11:44
No Colonel MPH? ?.
23 Apr 2025 10:13:11
Great post MPH and very well summarised ????.
23 Apr 2025 10:13:59
MPH, what category do you fall into? ?.
23 Apr 2025 10:20:33
Who are you calling an old timer. ???.
23 Apr 2025 10:27:15
Good Post MPH ?
Although a post like that you Might find your self falling into my category ?.
23 Apr 2025 10:29:44
Sorry Colonel, loads of wonderful posters to mention.
I never even put myself in a category.
I'll leave that for others?.
23 Apr 2025 10:31:22
I'm and he did not include me as an old timer at a young 75
Good post mph.
23 Apr 2025 10:43:36
To be honest, I think the best of the site comes out when John posted asking everyone to pick their favourite ( and not best ) Rangers XI.
Loads got involved and there was no sniping about who had included who and why. Just a good honest discussion.
23 Apr 2025 10:44:26
You fell into too many categories John. ?
But I honestly love the info you and others put up.
23 Apr 2025 10:46:19
MPH, you never mentioned me mate. That's you off my Christmas card list!
23 Apr 2025 10:51:52
Good post MPH. Really enjoying being on site.
23 Apr 2025 11:30:06
No worries MPH. Far more interesting posters than me. I extract info rather than provide it ?.
23 Apr 2025 11:38:46
MPH great post ??????????.
23 Apr 2025 11:43:18
Good post MPH only thing I need to pick you up on is fork doesn't bring anyone cheer only misery ?.
23 Apr 2025 11:48:30
Lovely post mate. ??.
23 Apr 2025 11:50:43
I think we all do, Colonel.
23 Apr 2025 11:57:17
I'm just disappointed there isn't a category for cantankerous tool just for me.
As I have always said on here, life is far too short to hold any sort of grudge, regardless of what is posted. If I can forgive posters on here for calling me a tim, I can forgive anyone. Eh Dado, mate?! ??
Infact, one poster on here who I have had numerous disagreements with, and have had some tasty back and forth arguements, has become my favourite poster, due to some first class posts over the last few months. Take a bow Ibrox4me!
Cracking post MPH, keep them coming!
23 Apr 2025 12:10:39
Did someone not say Copland5 was Beale and that's why we haven't heard from him? ?.
23 Apr 2025 12:27:54
Great post mph. We've had many fall outs, but in all honesty I always look out for your posts mate.
I think you come under a few different categories.
1. Always ready to put forward a good debate.
2. Our very own stats man
3. Like to read your take after a game, always feel it's well balanced and fair.
You can PayPal me the money you promised me to write that ?.
23 Apr 2025 12:28:51
Great post MPH!
23 Apr 2025 12:36:16
Apologies Cunny.
I meant to put a line in the post about our far flung supporters like yourself, Florida Bear, AbuDhabiLoyal etc who all still follow follow our team from around the World. ?.
23 Apr 2025 12:44:25
SS, you're correct in saying life is too short to hold a grudge.
The vast majority of us on here are Rangers loving, with the club close to our heart. That can bring out the best in people, and unfortunately sometimes the worst.
23 Apr 2025 12:45:30
That was under a different user name, it doesn't count ??.
23 Apr 2025 13:01:23
Love it Sunshine. Never anything personal and I'm not always right. Appreciate that post though, that shows your class sir. ????.
23 Apr 2025 13:01:48
Brilliant post mph ??.
23 Apr 2025 13:05:49
Copland 5 is definetely not Beale.
Can anyone remember if Copland 5 said he was taking a break from site?
He just disappeared.
I'm worried it's been something bad t think about tbh.
23 Apr 2025 13:19:40
I think someone has hacked BoyBlue's account. ?
That's far too kind! ??.
23 Apr 2025 13:20:48
Cantankerous tool?
In the words of Dirty Dancing:-
Nobody puts Sunshine in the corner?.
23 Apr 2025 13:30:35
You can tell sunshine has definitely forgot dado called him a tim ?.
23 Apr 2025 13:53:52
Stevie, CopelandFront was getting some stick, and seemed to stop posting. I think it's just a case of him not posting anymore because of this. It's Berkshireblue that has completely disappeared for no reason. I do hope he's ok.
23 Apr 2025 14:14:24
SS no point having a category when there can only be one winner
Mark, Berkshire blue was on last week.
23 Apr 2025 14:27:26
That's because of the " make up" comment I take Storm, just admit it n be done????.
23 Apr 2025 15:01:03
Nae Bother MPH ??????????.
23 Apr 2025 15:05:52
Didn't see that, John. I'd like to him post more regularly. Loved reading his posts.
23 Apr 2025 15:44:06
Mark he is an excellent poster. definitely missed.
23 Apr 2025 16:30:57
Copeland front did say before he went he was gona post less and he has been away for a long time now.
Make up fork? I canny even remember that one but my memory is terrible these days.
23 Apr 2025 17:33:50
That's no excuse Dado! ??.
23 Apr 2025 17:44:04
Good post although I think you give me too much credit.
23 Apr 2025 18:01:50
Colonel, do not undersell yourself, love your posts.
23 Apr 2025 18:33:37
Just being totally honest mph ?.
