Honest question willis, how worried are you?

edit;I'll elaborate a bit.

How worried are you collectively and individually?

Are you concerned that the mainstream media has failed your club by failing to accurately report on the situation (and continue to do so)?

Strangely enough Greig was not voted Rangers greatest "Player", he was voted "Greatest ever Ranger".
From that dubious honour one must assume that he was voted such because he typified what it meant to be a "Rangers man" by your average Gers fan.

I grew up watching John Greig play for Rangers, a journeyman player of limited ability with a propensity for clattering anyone who dared try and dribble past him. He was certainly not alone in that regard, as many players at that time followed that code of practice, so he should not be judged too harshly as he certainly was not the dirtiest player ever to wear royal blue.

I have no axe to grind with John Greig as I have heard firsthand accounts from someone I know (A Hearts fan) who worked with him a few years back, by my mate's account John Greig was an absolute gentleman and was certainly no bigot or even a diehard, just a man like most of us.

However what is telling is that such a limited player (Notwithstanding his other redeeming features) could be voted as "Greatest ever Ranger".

As a Celtic fan I am pleased our fans voted for skill in the shape of Jinky and not for some lackaday player who was simply a man of his time or a throwback to the way it used to be, back in the day.

Excellent post Dev. I agree - I remember Greig in the times that were - and he was immense for them, not withstanding how players are judged by today's standards.

I've not believed anything I've read in the papers since 1998.

As for being worried, of course I'm worried but i don't believe it to be as cut and dry as you all think.

That Hun photo actually proved Collum didn't see the penalty incident, his eyes are on the left hand side of the box , the incident took place right hand side of box , why are Huns always wrong !!!!

What happened in 1998 that made you stop trusting the newspapers?
