I wish I had a funny anecdote or the like to make u guys smile, I loved coming on n chatting, debating n as u know I like to try n have a laugh, recently it's been getting less n less, valued posters are bidding adieu around the negativity that is pervading our site, some are damned regardless of information, n that's a shame. Yes as horse says there could be an undercurrent of skulduggery afoot, my interest has waned, as I've said several times, to the point there is no enjoyment and it's become a chore, my hope is it's a blip due to the current need for our club to get things correct and the anxiety that brings around our fanbase. I'll be here keeping an eye on things, hopefully we get back to where we were in here and where we want to be as a club. Cheers guys.

Take care my friend I will also be watching from afar now, as you said it's becoming a task.
19 Jun 2025 07:04:27
Good post fork. Hope you're feeling better mate.
19 Jun 2025 07:07:25
Take care Fork - won't be long until the lives are up and running.
19 Jun 2025 07:20:30
Fork i agree with u bud u know i don't post much but its clear there's a bad vibe in here just now, for the last 12/ 13 year we've went through a lot of shxxe now we have probably what we all wanted taken over and stability. people just need to chill out and be thankful for what's hopefully coming, I've 3 kids 14 and under who have mo clue of the glory days i hope for there sake the tide turns. don't stop postin mate u keep this place upbeat WE WILL BE BACK?.

I don't think its just this forum mate. Its where we are as a support after years of failure.
Nobody has any patience or tolerance for anything now. The only way the negativity will stop is when we go a sustained period of success imo. Getting off to a strong start will change the atmosphere or a few good signings.
19 Jun 2025 07:35:43
Hopefully we'll have something good to talk about soon and folk in a better mood. Don't stay away long mate. Tensions maybe running high but when there's a story people are bound to want to talk about it. Didn't think there was that much wrong other than a difference of opinions yesterday. Understandable feelings given the importance of the start of the season if POTENTIAL loss of our main defender. Personally find it strange even from Scotland position they would choose to risk him missing part of preseason esp given his record. That's vital not just for champions league but to prepare him for whole season and they have bigger important internationals to think of soon too.

The Phoenix is on the rise Fork and as Journey once said " Don't Stop Believing"

The behaviour of our fans (not just here) is outrageous but I think it all ahs to do with where we were going as a club and as someone mentioned here earlier, it's because they want instant gratification.
I want us to be a success but also do realise to quote EHL, we don't have a magic wand and it will take time.
Once we are back playing it will improve.
19 Jun 2025 07:53:35
Keep going Fork/ Asa we know some disagree and that's fine but we do get some that are disagreeable ignore them and post on gents.
19 Jun 2025 07:54:48
Fork you know how I consider you a good poster on here. continue as you say to watch from afar and to get involved when you feel you can. I am not sure it will be when our support behaves better as I feel those days are long gone. take care.
19 Jun 2025 07:59:16
Some on here don't have the brains they were born with. Nothing wrong with debate but there's ways of doing things with respect for fellow bears. I for one believe this site will be meaningless without Ehl Fork John Ayrshire Asathor etc etc. we need these guys.
I think things may improve when we see new faces and we kick off. But. if results don't go out way initially. step back as the bile will rear it's ugly head. And I fear the heat of Athens so early on.
We are building. Be patient. Respect contributes and make the site great again.

Fork, John and everybody else who is stopping posting. I went off for a few days to try reset. I come on here as sn escape as my life has taken a serious downturn in the last couple of years. I am in pain 24/ 7 and joining in on here was a distraction. Now with so many good posters stopping posting or at each other's throats constantly it is no longer the distraction it used to be. John I was hugely impressed with your recovery and I sincerely hope you're back swinging on the golf course and cheering on our team come start of the season. Fork you brought a sense of fun to the site that many just don't have. I hope to see you back on soon. I am just going to look in now and again but like many posting has become a chore. Funnily enough I usually don't post much during transfer windows as it gets crazy on here and it has only been worse due to takeover manager search etc. I look forward to seeing our team being a success under our new set up.

Its getting as bad as FF on here.
19 Jun 2025 08:26:29
Great post Colonel.
19 Jun 2025 08:28:41
I had a feeling this post was coming from you Fork for a while now now bud.
I don't see the same camaraderie in here anymore and it's why I'm not posting as much it's not got the same feel as it did I'd prob say for the best part of a year now
More and more folk seem to just want to come on to rubbish and quash rumours which I don't really understand as it's a rumour and banter site
If you don't want to believe any rumours I'd suggest not coming onto a rumours site as it's really not for you and let the rest of us debate potential signings and out goings it's what the site was all about and made the debates good and fun
We're losing too many good posters and perhaps their is a bit underhanded behaviour's at play
What I would say is for posters to stay on keep being themselves bring a bit of lighthearted humour keep posting rumours no matter where you see or hear them and don't let folk put you off and ignore the noise
If they want to shoot the rumour down let them ignore and scroll on
EHL brings great info and I'm seeing a little jealousy from some who may believe he's taking the spot light away from them as perhaps their no longer getting the same info to share as before
But everyone should still be able to contribute whether you have a source or not where is the lighthearted banter and debate on football gone
Why is their so much doom and gloom and folk jumping on others to rubbish them or having real go at folk
Ed I'm not sure if you have been noticing a difference to the posts of late and folk just wanting to quash every rumour and stopping debate on potential players dead in the water or is it just me
Seeing so many good posters fade from the pages their contribution dwindling and some disappearing
Why are we letting folk push us all away.
19 Jun 2025 08:29:27
Fork and Asathor, I agree that it's become tedious now, and, like you, I will check in to see any updated information. As a parting question, does anyone know why our 9 in a Row trophy is being auctioned off at McTears, it was on BBC Reporting Scotland today.

The in fighting amongst ourselves is beyond a joke. too many keyboard warriors on the internet who think they have a right to start an argument, pathetic really, this sometimes gives me a right good laugh as I try to ignore the pain in my back and legs, this place beats it for pain, pain at reading some of the bitching, we are all proud bluenose and should stand as 1 regardless of difference of opinions, our cry of no surrender has fallen by the way side with the teams lack of fight at times, this is a whole new beginning and hopefully the first real step on getting the club back to the top, stay off threads if your only going to cause a fight, the world is being taken over by the elites (hates, sorros and all their corrupt cronies) use your fight towards them and not fellow Rangers fans, we are the people, enjoy your summer whatever you may be up to ?⚪??????????.
19 Jun 2025 09:16:25
Gates it should say.
19 Jun 2025 09:23:50
You take care Fork hopefully back after a break.
19 Jun 2025 09:40:17
Theyre just nameless/ faceless strangers on the internet. Why let them get to you?
19 Jun 2025 11:47:10
Fork, I've only been a poster for a few months, but, in that time, it was clear to me that you, yourself, had a gift for great humour, even through our terrible times as fans. You never meant any nastiness in your lighthearted posts, you even encouraged me personally (as a rookie poster) to ignore the haters.
You should know you hold great respect from genuine, honest people on here, so "haste ye back" mate - whenever you feel the time is right for you personally.
