After the ignominy of being beaten by the league's worst team Rangers must be thinking of the spectre of 4 in a row ,the end of the Smith regime and financial meltdown.



Good eh!

OF forum for this pish

Looking forward to posting in the Div1 section next year are we.

These two statements contradict each other.

No they don’t.

Either way, it's a sh*te thread.

8 games in and you are level on points, yet SRC comes out with the sort of taunting threads I thought we were trying to get away from on here.

C'est la vie, maybe I am being overly critical on a fair thread, just seems gloating over nothing imo. The win that the Celtic fans seem to be gleefully happy about had nothing to do with them.

Juts like the win for Kaunas over the huns had nothing to do with fans of other clubs in Scotland. That didn’t stop a mass of ‘gloating posts’ over it.

Indeed. I found that equally distasteful.

Personally I wanted both you and Rangers (as well as Motherwell and Queens) to progress in order to help our coefficient. Celtic are the only team left and it's only the start of October, compared to 3 clubs past Christmas last season, and even then it's looking like a tight game over in Denmark that will decide your UEFA cup fate or not.

For a "diddy" club supporter, laughing at OF failures in Europe is cutting our nose off to spite our face, imo.

I have no interest in seeing the huns do well in Europe or numerous other clubs for that matter.

I was happy to see Aberdeen do well last season.

Yes they do.In one instance he says St Mirren are the worse team in the league so why will Aberdeen be playing div1 football next season?

Do you remember how well Celtic played at home against the 'worst' team in the league? In fact do you remember the last time you were at Love Street and how well you played against them? If it wasn't for 1 particular man you would have been lucky to take anything from those games!!

Leagues are usually won in May.

YES good old walter(TRAITOR)smith tactical fox

No they don't. Aberdeen could end up bottom of the league as a result of being cheated out of a point/points in every game from now until the end of the season i.e. like what happened on Saturday and not due to their own performances.

Hidden hands?

Nice try!!! Just admit you made a tit of yourself glasnost.

I can understand the situation regarding the CL money and the way it's split. To not wish them well when it could benefit you (ie: co-efficient) is just a bit churlish, imo.

It is not churlish at all. Whilst it is good to go straight into the CL group stages, I have no problem playing qualifiers. If we cannot beat the opponents placed in front of us, then we don’t deserve to be in the tournament. Similarly, if it’s down to one CL spot then if we don’t win the league we don’t deserve to be in it.

There is nothing at all which would want me to support the huns in Europe.

What you seem to miss is the fact that Scottish clubs competing in Europe is good for Scottish football in general. That's the point I am trying to make.

Sadly for us, referees wont bail us out of embarassing results like they do over your way.

If they did, we'd have gotten a dodgy penalty ala Parkhead.

What’s so special this year?

We had a couple last year, you lot had them in the droves.

And, surprise surprise, have had quite a few blushes saved this season by them.

Hardly.



Quite correct. We had a dubious penalty given to us against St Mirren at home. What you fail to mention is the one which we should have got prior to that which was brushed away by the referee.

Considering the non OF fans can't agree, even with TV evidence wither your statement is correct, it kind of tells you something.


As for my take on it, if JVOH was getting to it and hadn't hit the ball that hard even if the keeper ran to the halfway line he wouldn't have scored, then you have something, but with the position of the ref and a split second to decide, it's hardly surprising his decision. Lots of people, even with TV evidence as I said, would have said no penalty.

It certainly does.



.....and as we have established that tells you something.
It was a clear penalty.

But that's by the by now.

I doubt if either he or his hun equivalents would care.

What you miss is the fact if they are more successful in Europe means they have more money therefore will be stronger..They will become better known across the continent and become more appealing to prospective signings. I would never want them to be more successful than us in Europe...NEVER!! Where i might differ from Glasnost on this is as long as Rangers are more successful i don't mind them being involved as well..But the important thing is being ahead of them.

Last season i had Bayern Munich on my coupon but still cheered on Aberdeen at Pittodrie..the reason for this is i don't see Aberdeen as a direct threat to Rangers and want them to do as well as they can because if they improve it improves our league and our standing across the continent. In the long term it will also help them generate extra income and in time they might get back up there competing again.

4 in a row-given the poor state of Rangers fear is 10 in a row.

And that probably underlines the differences between the diddy club supporters and the OF. There's a fair percentage of us who know that if we can't win the league then we want whoever else wins the league to do well so it benefits us all in the coefficient, and in turn bring the possibility of us to get European qualification and all the things that that brings us.

A hefty generalisation there. I used to work with a few Hibs fans and they certainly were not wanting the diet huns to do well in Europe when they reached the CL qualifiers or the UEFA group stages. I'd be amazed if this wasn't the general feeling amongst Hibs fans...........and vice versa if the roles were reversed. Similarly, I can't imagine anything other than a handful of Aberdeen fans wanting the huns to do well. It's natural football rivalry and there is nothing wrong with it.

Rangers look like they are going to implode.The great thing is if they had bought Steve Davis a couple of weeks earlier they may have been in the champions league.

Does anybody really think that Kyle Lafferty is worth £3.5m.I dont think Wattie even thinks he is worth that if Darcheville is on before him.Another couple of bad results and that comedian McCoist will be in charge.

Actually that's fair enough it is a generalisation.

"I would like to think that.." was probably the way I should have put that.

Or in Rangers case, lost in May, at Pitodrie. Oh how i laughed

Aye it was fucking hilarious but really you are about 4 months too late

Just remeber ur only ahead on goal difference. U've played more games at home so we'll need to see what ur away record will be like in a few weeks.

You have to say your fans have got a wee bit carried away prior to Sunday. I thought the team may hve been tired on Sunday after watching the Bill during the week

Don't know many fans who have got carried away. Media yes but not the fans.

We were only ahead on goal difference going into last seasons final game too.

Ahead is ahead regardless of how.

The Scottish media are all Rangers fans.

Get a life and change the record.

What ? I lurked rangers msg boards and you did get carried away, especially in regards to world beater eyyy pedro the saviour.

By the Motherwell away game on Nov 12th Rangers will have played 8/13 SPL games away from home.If we still level on points with Celtic by that stage then I will be a happy man.

My dear Seamus, I think we did this before but to save you going down the route of tarring the press as all Rangers fans, allow me to tell you who has leanings to who. If you don't believe me, may I suggest you go and ask them.


Mark Guidi - Celtic
Hugh Keevins - Celtic
Peter Martin (McGuire) - Celtic
Ronnie Cully - Celtic
Neil Cameron - Celtic
Anthony Haggerty - Celtic
Keredine Issedane - Celtic
Ian King - Rangers
Darryl King - Rangers
Graham Speirs - Rangers
David McCarthy - Rangers
Alan McMillan - Partick Thistle
Gordon Waddell - Falkirk



These are more well known journalists but I could go further.

Media bias towards Rangers is a myth.

I think we're diversing here

Graham Spiers - Rangers? After seeing his face tripping him on the way back from florence last season. I highly doubt it.

Speirs claimed on air that he USED to support Rangers He is without doubt the most anti Rangers journalist.. 'Hell hath no fury like a poofy corduroy wearer scorned'.

And for the record, 3 of the best talking heads are Murdo Macleod, Andy Walker and Pat Nevin. It isnt an issue who you follow or played for. Its about not hiding it in my book.

I suggest you propose another campaign against him

I've heard he could do with a payrise and a new Ferrari!!

Are you still pushing this 'promotion line'..

Going from the Herald to the Scottish Times is not a promotion. I hear the Scottish Times has lost nearly a quarter of it's readership since he joined.

An absolute little shit of a man.

pat nevin?
