I take a completely different view to Baird leaving. We signed him once and he left for more money and a chance at the SPL. He proved he couldn't cut it at that level for 2 teams and his career was going absolutely nowhere until we rescued him in January. He has shown absolutely nothing to this club and his decision to go and effectively sign for one of our rivals next season shows all his badge kissing and his cup final celebration was just all for show. He clearly wanted to sign for the Pars a few seasons ago and has held a slight ill feeling towards us since then. Was told by a reliable source that both himself and our board took a bit of convincing for a contact to be signed in January. No best wishes from me and nothing against Queens here. But basically Baird is a little twat!

Further..... Having recognised the above as accurate, the collective sphincters at the SFA had a collective meltdown at the prospect of the loss of what they perceived as the be all and end all of the game in Scotland....The Old Firm fixtures and their monetary value. In their shock filled and horrified state they did all in their power to shoe-horn the disgraced outfit into as elevated a position as possible in order to get the Gruesome Twosome back together. Thankfully and rightfully this failed. Only AFTER having been forced into a position of common sense by a combination of popular demand and a compliant, better focused, set of Chairmen, the SFA set about consciously and deliberately rewriting their rulebook to create a rule allowing them to seperately recognise a football club from it's governing corporate owner.......creating the continuity myth which would allow them to re-establish the aforementioned "great rivalry" of the Old Firm after the 'inconvenience' of the interruption caused by the debacle in Govan. This would then, they theorised, give them the marketing tool they wanted to illicit more finance from TV companies. The ongoing clusterfuck at Sevco 5088/Scotland t/a The Rangers FC must be doing their tiny little heads in. Good.

They were originally planning to play Sevco, until someone told them...they don't do Woking away.

Peter Coleman jimmy cook davie Wilson were all useful corner takers but.Charlie gallagher and chic charnley could drop a ball on a sixpence from fifty yards.

Disappointing stuff about Baird but no need to press the panic button just yet. There will be lots of coming and goings over the summer and the team will take shape eventually. I know it is all about opinions but with the Championship shaping up the way it is anyone talking about not renewing their season ticket is crazy. Also the folk talking about us being automatically relegated are forgetting that we'll have a Hartley less Alloa and Cowden (mins Hemmings and Stewart) in our league. Keep the heid people

I heard about this last week, wasn't sure if it was true Pretty disgraceful Sevco are getting special treatment and taking money out the game

Why are supporters of a club called Inter buying AC tops?

And saw that English clubs that kept their history after an insolvency event had either sold the club DURING administration BEFORE the deadline..or having failed to get a CVA agreed with their creditors went on to pay that CVA rate to all their creditors anyway via the FA...none of these happened to rangers they died .

I do not have to pretend everthing is perfect to qualify as a supporter.I am a life long , die hard who just happens to smell something fishy with this statement . I have yet to see a private company spending money seemingly 'needlessly ' on replacing a pitch only a year old that is apparently performing ' well' and for no charge. With these benevolent acts of kindness, I don't expect this private company - ie profit making - to be around that long . Anyway , I can't be arsed with you so will you block me please .

It was indeed

Left back aye. He's a pretty solid player, likes to get forward and has good delivery. His pace isn't great and he can get caught out at times, not the greatest defender but does a solid enough job. I like him and I hope we can hold on to him.

That's a touch unfair Willie, they also held up red bits of paper, waddled to Hampden, made a list of their enemies, and threatened directors of other clubs who give their free time to administer our game. Must have seemed like a good idea at the time.

You can only buy shares if those holding the shares wish to sell. Rangers supporters have put in tens of millions into the club over the last couple of seasons through Season Ticket sales and Share Issue.

It won't. We've been saying this is the most important appointment Rae's had to make. Get it right with a good manager, we could go straight back up and re-establish ourselves in the Championship, get it wrong with an average manager we'll fail to go up at the first attempt and more than likely become an Ayr United with the occasional foray up to the Championship where we're always relegated, get it wrong with a terrible manager and we could easily end up sliding as badly as Clyde have or even worse. We've appointed Jim Duffy, who's worse than terrible. This story ends with Morton in the Lowland League.

'Rangers' wasn't run by a company. 'Rangers' was a company.

Will Smith Declined the lead role in The Matrix for the Lead role in Wild Wild West, not because he thought the latter was the stronger film, he was fully aware of how successful and iconic The Matrix was to become, its simply that Will Smith is such a fan of Tina Turner and the film 'What's Love got to do with it?' that he genuinely believes that Laurence Fishburne is in fact Ike Turner and wants no association with the man.

Hmmm - the 2 cheeks alliance is still strong

You know, it appears to me, that we could be about to experience a season, where the horde will actually be bragging about how low their attendances are. No8 says -''We only got 10,210 for the Raith game and I'm hoping we'll have a couple of thousand less for the visit of Falkirk. Great stuff lads.'' Tedi says - ''Aye, would be a fantastic achievement to get below the 10K mark.''

PeitroPierrePedro ‏@petethefoot 3h Raith Rovers website punting ST's ) "We look forward to welcoming Hearts, and of course Ramsdens Cup Runners Up Rangers to Stark’s Park next season."

Made me think of this guy.

Cher price?

If they had started in the 3rd Division without all the Billy Big Baws carry on, using what is unarguably a very large support, and with the potential (as raised in the IPO) investment, managing their finances within their means, perhaps taking 4-6 years to reach the Premier Division, we might have been a bit more sympatheic, jist a wee bit, but we all know that the problem would have been they couldnae see the other ugly sister in the Big Time without all the baggage of resentment and jealousy, the (loyal) fans would not have stood for it. I guess to an extent, it's the fans' own fault that they are where they are financially, as the Board knew fine well that "steady as she goes" would not have satisfied the hordes, there would have been substantial "walking away". .

Very good.

two + two doesnt always equal four

haha yes and usually resignations get mocked mercilessly for taking the internets too seriously. happier with the level of banter between mulitiple teams than just monotonous all support the one team stuff

That bit there....? That's why there will always be people looking to make money from you.

Well he's in with a chance - moans when his team gets beaten, loses cup finals...he's a shoe in!

Whoever wrote that Metro piece had better have good windae insurance.

That cat is gigantic. I'm amazed the picture isn't of it carrying her.

2012 2014 ...Sorry Hibees

Uruguayan state TV is currently filming a reboot of Happy Days. The studios are located in the town of Aaaayyyy Bentos.

Attend more than 4 games a season and get back to us

But Callachan HAS established himself as a member of the first team...

Dion And The Belmonts - Teenager In Love

For years I've driven past the start of the cycle path at Dalwhinnie and thought about doing it. Today, on the spur of the moment, I drove up to Pitlochry, jumped on a train to Dalwhinnie with the bike and cycled the 30 miles or so back to Pitlochry. Great fun and some stunning views.

There are loads in the next village though. Gay Bentos.

^^^ Camper than yer average bear

On a similar note, Laurence Fishburne has never burnt a fish. He cooks a sublime seabass. His cottages pies are dreadful though.

Nice pussy.

Agree with the assessment of the coast - The northern part is great (a mate used to have a pub in Whitby, great for weekends), but Brid is full of jakeys and everyone in Scarborough has their hand in your pocket the minute you arrive. Flamborough Head is worth a visit, though - loads of Nature's bottle-openers... Anyway, I hope you get what you want - Argyll is a lovely part of the world as well. Mind you, after Paisley...

Good to see cowdenbeath staying up.12 points from them 12 from Alloa and 12 from the obscure glasgow team should keep us safe.

Bob Holness DID NOT play saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's Baker St, despite how many times pub bores insist on telling you - However, he did write the intro riff on Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns 'n' Roses

Your club's extensive experience with life support machines would be greatly beneficial at this time. Thank you for your concern.

you had a go at me for not renewing my season ticket and going game by game in Greens season. Last season you had a go at me because i refused to give that lot a penny. And finally how can someone who calls Whyte - The Hero, have the audacity to post about "innocent creditors"?

I'll stand by that. Call it what you want, but after what that club had done, the deleterious effect on our National Game, the whining and moaning when caught, and the refusal to countenance the idea that they had done anything wrong: the way they reacted to what amounted to getting three months on a tag for armed robbery - anyone condoning or supporting anything other than expulsion had absolutely no claim to decency or fairmindedness. Some of what I (and others) feared would happen didn't. Some stuff which would have been dismissed as fantasy at the turn of 2012 did. The stain on our National Game (already dismissed as "mickey mouse" by many down here) was made darker by the actions of the governing bodies who not only bent, broke and fabricated rules in order to facilitate something getting shoved in at the arse end of D3 but also employed scaremongering propaganda in order to get the rest of the clubs to fall in line. That they didn't is a testament to the strength of feeling of the majority of Scots fans.

Congratulations.

Slightly off topic......but a friend of mine told me about this guy she knows that went for an interview. He was asked to "sell me this jug of water".........so he set fire to the bin in the corner! He was escorted from the building by the Police!
