Booker-T

no, that is the tone when responding to an obnoxious boy like you. you came on in attack mode, maybe protecting the captain who deserves his ear bashing for his constant Hugh Keevins style of shite masquerading as facts (look at his older posts).

why is that brainbox?

wtf are you talking about. the closest you'll get to a cuddle from this Celtic fan is a kick to your 16 year old pebbles.

nothing wrong with winning nothing wrong with being an underdog (as they are the peeepul) and it's good to be a good guy the pink bit though, surely only 12 year olds think being a fan makes you a rebel?

they gave you players they gave you money for their u21/reserve team to use your pitch. KIRK BROADFOOT you absolutely need rangers.

yes you say that sort of rubbish a lot. it's still bullshit you let your prejudices and stupidity get in the way of making comment open to anything but mockery.

it was 1990 i had my football coaching, so yes - changed days!

it was the killie man who started the "pish" but the "pish" is over now. back to the subject.... i wouldn't think that Paul Murray would be all that bright as i am sure he was on the board while financial high jinks went on. I think he is fronting the 'royal rangers supporters trust association' Friday night on PnB, well seeing payday is next week!

i remember being 10 years old and training consisting of kicking the ball from one touchline to your training partner at the other (with the least numbr of bounces being ideal). once he had the ball you ran to his touchline and back again. then he would do the same after you. what did i learn from that? that i wasn't strong enough - so being young and stupid i borrowed my unkle's ankle weights to walk about in - i got stronger but didn't get better at football.

F.ck religion. that's all

said that like it's an insult!

it seems to work in spain, germany and portugal. - though i think there should be an age cap of 3 over 21 players in b team squads. not so well san marino a reserve league would be fine also - but there needs to be something between u19 and full pro as a lot of kids just aren't ready till 21/22 to play at spd/spl level. anyway change and lots of it is what we need.

or that as well. the thing about the B teams is to develop players in competitive football, but not too competitive - if you know what i mean. i just think our game is falling and now we have an opportunity to really change our game and get the fans back and get them to identify with the players who wear the colours of the clubs. I would also want an elite SFA development team operating within the league structure with an annual player draft for when players turn 18/19 with the most recently promoted team to the top league getting first pick on these players but with 50% of any transfer fee going back to the governing body to help administer the game.

looks fair enough to me.

there are too many governing bodies in such a small country. I think we need a revolution of sorts to get the crowds back to the game. I would be in favour of a 20 team SPD, a 20 team SD1 and a regionalised SD2 incorporating non league and junior clubs. play offs, terraces, lower wages for players, more fans, terrace prices that match the national minimum wage, 10% of capacity being given to local schools, games played at 5/6pm on a Saturday (more and more people are employed in jobs that force them to work Saturday mornings and early afternoons). have beer tents erected inside the grounds after the game serving cheep but low alcohol beers at reasonable prices - turn the games into social events. Standard family (non segregated) priced tickets for all teams at £40 for a family of 4. maximum squad sizes of 20 over 21yo players of which 10 must conform to UEFA's homegrown policy, SPD clubs have B teams in the SD2 regional leagues. Wage limits in the SD1 and lower of each player earning no more than double the national minimum wage (on a pro rata basis obviously). Each club to have a student section of least 5% of the ground with 1/2 price tickets. Wage structures in SPD to be based on performance with maximum basic wage rates (that are the same for each club) clubs able to set bonuses seperately based on league positions and cup performance and able to pay large bonuses for european football progress.

where?

dude, when i was a kid i didn't think Celtic would get near a championship. even after mccann came in it took ages to have a real attempt at the league. when i got into football the premier division was like a few mini leagues. top:Rangers on their own 2nd:Aberdeen, Hearts and eventually Motherwell (Aberdeen almost always finished 2nd) for last european place: Celtic, Motherwell, Dundee United, Hibs, i'm sure st johnstone finished ahead of us one year. relegation fodder: the rest....

i started supporting Celtic in 1989/90..... throughout the nineties 4th and 5th was decent. so i doubt i lack the experience of following a mid table team around the country.

on the basis of what the daily mail have to say? if the daily mail had their way they'd kick the hard working tax paying immigrants (and probably their descendants) out so that small town whitefolks can feel safe when they sleep at night. so..... i'll wait for further info before passing my all important judgement.

I am sure there was a far greater racist bigot element among the airdrie fans of that time than there was at rangers. considering 1910 is just 22 years after the birth of Celtic and it being well documented in Ian Archer's book about Celtic released i think in 1988 that although the poor people of the Glasgow's east end and Glasgow's Irish community in general were happy that their creation Celtic defeated Rangers reserves in their first ever match, Rangers were the team those communities supported. Sectarianism was certainly a problem at the SFA long before it was a problem at Rangers. (read the Ian Archer book for more info).

will opening that daily mail link turn me into a 'send em all back UKIP nut' don't know if I'm brave enough.....

Or.... More than one club will rise from the ashes that was Rangers.

I went to boys brigade as a kid as many of my school friends joined. I kept earning my group minus points every monday night as i had no idea what the hell sunday school was. open to all my arse! maybe these days it's different but back then it certainly wasn't.

I think that's harsh dude, people start supporting their football club long before they understand anything about politics or brainwashing (or religion as some call it). If you start supporting a club and then become a bigot then there is a problem. At the end of the day, your team is your team and i would imagine it is very difficult for anyone who has invested their time, money and affection to ditch or switch clubs no matter how much other fans do your head in. The things other rangers fans may say or do should in no way reflect on No.8 The Rangers fans from the Glasgow area are more likely to be like no.8 and these are the ones who have the right to call themselves the true rangers fans.
