EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE, even SouperHoper, knew whit yie meant Dan. No need to justify yourself tae that scabby bint.
Personally I'd like us to become a footballing island. Shut ourselves off, turn up to games, do the obligatory meetings and interviews with no laughing/joking/pretend getting along. Fight every unfair decision without vitriol. Don't get dragged into debates, just say our piece and leave. Fans go to away games but don't spend a penny on pies or pints in the ground. I don't mean become a whipping boy, far from it, I mean cut out all the friendly ties. Become 100% business. Don't do any favours and expect none in return. Politely decline the use of our stadium for anything besides our own games. Adapt a philosophy of coaching/training/scouting that is as professional as it can possibly be and win so many games that it doesn't matter when dodgy refs give penalties to the opposition. Officially refute every attack against our club within 24 hours but calmly and sternly without any interviews to the rags. In fact no talking to the rags at all other than pure facts at a bare minimum. Quietly cut ties to all explayers who do talk to them. No tea and biscuits for journos who have to come over the threshold of ibrox. Just in then out. No dinner invites for anyone who has ever attacked our club. Whenever anyone tries to drag us into telling them why we've made a decision, politely refuse to respond. Whenever the spl ask us to send a rep or player for some publicity event, politely refuse. Whenever anyone from another team asks for vip tickets, explain we are already at capacity. Whenever a player gets a Scotland call up explain they aren't friends and over familiarity will be frowned upon. Don't contribute to any organisation or scheme that brings us into association with any other Scottish team. Build on our friendly ties with other British and European teams. Talk to other UK and continental press more than anyone within two hundred miles. Don't loan players to anyone in the top tier. No laughing and joking with opposition in the tunnel or after the game. Don't pay money for players from opposition teams. Only pre-contracts. Assume every invite, discussion or proposal is designed to harm us and politely refuse them all. Give them not one inch without ever coming down to their level.
So, why would they applause McCoist if they have the memory of a goldfish? They are applauding McCoist because, no matter his obvious managerial shortcomings, he scored 355 goals for Rangers in the 80's and 90's... where if the fans had the memory of a goldfish, then they wouldn't even know who he was...
