African and American politics in sync. "The plausible explanation is that Bongo Trump lost the election but, instead of leaving office with dignity, tried to hang on to power by manipulating the results with the complicity of officials beholden to his family."

Pleasing. Bit late on here as I was reading the entire match thread on RM. My tears of mirth have now dried.

I'm reading it for the first time. (I started at the end for some reason and IMO it would have been better if the last few dozen pages had been accidentally lost when being moved . I thought I had jumped threads)

Squandered the goodwill of a nation? Less than half a nation.

Well, just about everyun on RM tonight.

Why not pink'n'yella?

I don't like cricket. Oh no. I do like England moaning about losing. Oh yes.

The "nomadic people thought to have come from what is now Kazakhstan" and now berthed south of the Clyde, over on rangersmedia, are very unhappy. No surprise there , but they seem to think that a clear-out of most of the existing players would result in Beale being able to draft in a squad of world (well, Celtic)-beaters in their place. I don't know how much money Rangers have to spare but it seems unlikely. However, I did see the word 'aesthetic' used in relation to Ryan Kent . Obviously the more refined (!) stay at home fans commenting. No doubt the tone will deteriorate when the knuckle draggers return home from the match. 'Mon the ICT, you've done it before. Do it again.

That was a real 'Roy of the Rovers' type goal. 'Greegsy' is taking flak 'over there' but it's a lovely bit of football to witness. The type of goal that would have grown with the telling back in the day before televised games. Having said that, it would have probably been ruled offside back then...

Here's a taster. AberfeldyBlue not one of that Aberdeen team would get a game for Rangers yet we lost 2-0. shocking

Really Granda? I found this stat. But maybe you didn't witness the games. In all three of the Dons' title wins in the 80s, they went undefeated against Rangers. During Ferguson's eight-year reign he only lost four League games to them, winning 17 and drawing 12.

Enjoyed that result. According to many Rangers Media types, the second goal was offside and VAR is shite, I remember them orgasming over its arrival. Be careful what you wish for. Maybe Aberdeen and Hearts can stretch R&C next season. I hope so.

From RM On 04/04/2023 at 13:51, esquire8 said: We've won every Old Firm Clancy has refereed. Oh well, that's his record broken. As an aside, on RM the whining is unbelievable. Their team is better than every other in Scotland bar one, they are in a cup semi and they do nothing but whinge about how shite their players are. 'Entitled' doesn't cover it. Just what do they want? ( I know, I know. ) Would they actually be happier, sitting mid-table, if Celtic were near bottom?

Ah. Soz. I was thinking of the other another one. Ends wif an em. ETA maybe there are others. I'll have a look on the Rangers' fan sites. No filters there, just unabated hatred.

They had the monicker before that. I presumed it was the loyalty to the German descended monarchy, but I suppose we will never know for sure. If it's marauding violent types, , then 'Orcs' sould be banned as well. Personally I think Orcs is more apt. I don't understand why the T word is banned for Sellick fans, they use it themselves, quite proudly. Maybe just a balancing act. Next thing you know, we can't call Dundee Utd fans 'Arabs'. Or Jags fans 'effete , West-end luvvies'. It's PC gone mad.

OK, I'll say it. Ht's point was, there is no OF. Old Rangers died. The 'main bit' would look a lot more untidy if the R&C fans were on here. This thread is an example, it has quickly wandered away from discussion of the actual upcoming match, as in players, tactics, etc No, sorry, I've just read the whole tread. There has been NO 'football' discussion at all. I'll just add some more clutter, from Rangers media. It will never end. Not until at least one of them dies. Without being resurrected. (topical, eh?) graeme_4 replies: Might have, but the c**t absolutely tried to cheat us out of the 2-1 win at their midden. Will never be convinced otherwise. esquire8 replies: Oh definitely. As p*pish as it comes. Still like to continue that trend though

Apropos of nothing, I happened to read this piece of misinformation on the West Ham website. "Warburton led Brentford to the EFL Championship Play-Offs and Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title before most recently enjoying three productive seasons at Queens Park Rangers, culminating in a top-half Championship finish last term." Stevie Gee won't like that. Shows how much attention is paid to R&C outside Scotland.

I knew it as 'ben the hoose' relating to another, indeterminate, room. I believe it's from 'but and ben', as in The Broons' country cottage. 'Ben' was the living room, 'but' was the kitchen.

They seem overly concerned a bout 'boos from the stands'.

I'm 70 and want to go to Germany. Take me! I won't greet when we lose. (much)

It's a national holiday. Naeb'dy telt ye?

Yes. Have to be careful against these latin types. Fall down for nowt, then bounce up again. If youre going to get a red, make it count.

Wottevah!

So, like us playing on Arran?

Could we have less of the "Spain were were pish" stuff please? Scotland took them on and neutralised them. (ok, a wee bit of luck, but that's fitba')
