  1. I'm anti Rangers. I'm anti a lot of other teams to varying degrees though, and the ones that I'm not is generally because they don't really register on my scopes. I think that is essential to the tribalism and unconditional support of one team. Maybe just a concession being that I'm not actively anti, but passively anti in most cases (does that make sense). I think that there is a superiority and arrogance that's exhibited by a lot of Rangers fans. It's obvious, to me at least, that it is born out of being, at least historically, the biggest and best in the context of football. There is also the weight of numbers that means that for any argument or viewpoint brought up, there will always be someone around to back them up. It makes it very easy to pick a fight or bully (in metaphorical senses at least). Some of the thickest ones take this to extremes in the form of bigotry and sectarianism. I've had some personal experiences of this (working in Harthill with a green & white van is not to be advised!). However. The above are the worst of it and I don't see that as being the majority. Some others might get swept with the tide at times (there is the big crowd psychology that affects us all) but it is not inherent within them and doesn't define who they are as a person. A human being is a human being regardless of the colour of shirt that they wear. On this forum the Rangers fans I interact with have their own personalities. There are some that I avoid, mainly because I think they are childish and quite frankly thick, but that is true of other teams too. There are others I'll quite happily shoot the shit with though. That's quite a long winded way of saying "f**k knows", maybe I'll think about it some more.

  4. It's called "Freefall" by Jeckyll & Hide. The auto complete's first result was "Freefall by Joseph Stiglitz", quite a change in subject matter. It actually starts out as a pretty excellent trance track then in comes the Scooter-esque sound he used in the walk-on. What a guy.

  5. Never. It will remain for eternity as a permanent stain upon the cheating tax dodging creditor dodging sectarian "institution" that you support.

  7. The point was that all this claim of "it's only human to always call for everything and cheat at every possible opportunity" is, um, totally false. So you are a cheat then? And there are plenty of contensious decisions in rugby but how often do people call for them? Never. Because "calling for everything" is not a natural reaction. I do have experience of playing football competitively, though, but I'm not deluded enough to think it qualifies me to offer any insight. Footballers could very easily stop claiming everything. Very easily. They just choose not to.

  10. It has been claimed at times that club and company are inseparable. However, here is confirmation that clubs are owned and operated by something else. That will usually be a company.

  14. How dare you malign the robust and gallant moustache . In all honesty the bear gave me a reddie for offering salient and I think timely advice on the behaviour of your fans in another thread and i just saw this and i heard it read aloud in the whiny voice of a 5 year old girl. And it annoyed me. "In fact what happened was the company that used to run the club wasn't liquidated till around the beginning of November. You can check that at Companies House if you want. So Nuuhhhh." Petty perhaps, but I stand ready to rescind said reddie as soon as yon BWM explains why I received one on the other thread when I suggested (very reasonably) that singing about bathing in each others blood wasn't great for your image going forward. Or perhaps demanding an explanation for every red dot is akin to the actions of a whiny 5 year old girl. After cheating and not paying your dues you had a choice: Pay up or start again. You chose start again. That's it. No mystery. No debate required. No keep the nice bits but ditch the bad. No it was all a conspiracy against us, haven't we been wronged. No-one is saying rangers (Mk1) will be expunged forever from the annals of time (although I think it would be nice). It's just as a consequence of starting again, your score is 0. Your age is 0. Pretty reasonable if you ask me and if we are all honest getting the opportunity to start again is far, far more than you deserved. You should be fucking grateful.

  17. I went to my first ever ice hockey game, in fact my first ever visit to an ice rink, tonight, to see Dundee Stars v Edinburgh Capitals. Before I go on, it is worth pointing out that I know nothing about ice hockey, but it was on my 13 for 13 (in my case 43 for 13) in Gen Nonsense, and I like expanding my horizons. I really enjoyed it, things I took away from it were; It was a lot easier to follow the puck than I thought it would be These guys are super fit They are also brilliant skaters The goaltenders are very talented The matchday experience is better than any football in this country, it is treated as an event rather than a fixture You can have a social beer whilst watching the game There is a great deal of respect at the end of the game, with the MotM awards and the players thanking the crowd You don't see anyone dive or plead with the referee for a foul Each team has a guy with a drum I will probably be back for the occasional game.

  18. To get you to change your sig would be my main one. I don't know if it's the bad grammar or homophobia that bothers me more.

  28. A wee girl's "Santa Stop Here" sign was stolen last night, and the mother was on FB first thing this morning telling everyone. Cue every mother friend dusting off her thesaurus to think of new ways to describe the culprit. My favourite was "Bloody thieving lowlive (sic) b*****d scumbags". I was tempted to wade in with a Partridge-esque "Scum. Sub-human scum", but didn't want to get rumbled and accused of not teaching this catastrophe with the gravitas it deserves.
