I must admit Saturday evening after 'THAT' defeat, i feared the worst for this board. Name calling, threats and just plain abuse was used by many, probably in trying to rid us of our frustration and the crap performance we had all just witnessed. I for one began to wonder if it was all worth it and if i could really be bothered with it anymore, it really had started to get that bad. Would i be missed ? Maybe, maybe not but i do know for sure i wasn't the only one feeling that way. Now after Brix's message the last day or so has seen some sort of order return, and many on here are arguing their corner in a pleasent and unabusive way. Long may it continue. Yes there are wind ups, yes their are firecely opposing points of view but you the fans have again made this board one of the best there is. Thanks lads (and lady)
I must admit to feeling the same way, just can't be arsed to join most thread for the moaning and negativity. Still can't stand all the negative posts and the lack of some people knowledge, but with signings coming in it has restored some order. I just fear with our run of games things might get worse before they settle down.
Was it ever any different being a Rangers fan? Disorder, confusion and an uncanny knack of shooting ourselves in the foot is our trademark. I don't want to follow 1 nil to the Arsenal, I welcome the challenge that being a Rangers fan is. My Gooner supporting brother can't believe how many decent (his words) players we have signed / been linked with. I don't mind that at all.
You're right mate, probably hasn't ever been any different. Anyone remember that battles between Northolt and Hayes (I think) R's after the Cardiff Playoff........ Some things never change.....
When I go to away matches I see Rangers fans physically fighting each other half the time. We are slightly demented. We can never be accused of being gloryhunters thats for sure
That doesn't suprise me at all Dave. Anyone who advocates compulsory Saab's for the unemployed has a definite split personality
I agree Ozzie. There's a certain poster that revealed a few weeks ago how shamelessly hypocritical (not to mention smug) he is. After glorifying himself in getting a fellow poster banned, he immediately went onto another thread and launched a disgusting attack on an entire race of people, calling Australia a Nation of ******* *****. Only Oddball was left to flag up the double standards of this particular individual. Staines mate, I'm glad things have calmed down but it will get like that now and again when we get a hammering on the field. Its the way these Boards operate.
I'd miss you Staines. Sometimes there's nowhere else to vent your spleen and in the heat of the moment some posters (me included) let it out. Not saying its right but it's going to happen from time to time.
