The funniest thing for me on this thread Aldo is that we do have absolute nutbags following our team as do the hoops. What does makes me laugh is that the Celtic management team talk as much ****e as our nutters do<laugh> Well it a point scoring thread isn't it?

I would imagine that this thread will become even bigger as we continue to improve under Warburton.


JC really does boil the piss of the average hun.

it's not as if he signed for a team in the scottish championship and said that he could be playing champions league football within 3 years.

You are of course correct that you have thousands of nut jobs that follow your team, in fact every team does, you do seem to have a higher percentage though <badger>

Most of us will be familiar with the comedy film Groundhog Day, where funny man Bill Murray’s character relives the same day over and over again in some backwater town by the name of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. We recall poor Bill as he was losing the will to live each morning as the radio came on to Sonny and Cher droning on ad infinitum.

Unfortunately, Rangers fans have our own perpetual cycle of irritancy to endure - that each season various characters impersonating journalists at BBC Scotland repeatedly single out our club and fans for special treatment. The upshot being of course is the public perception that Rangers is the root of all evil. By foraging tenaciously for any nugget of negativity concerning the club, no matter how small, and consistently overlooking the sins of others, no matter how glaring, it is a self fulfilling prophesy these partisans seem desperate to engineer.

With the new season in its insipient stages, it is already more of the same. Rangers fans don’t need a rodent to forecast the journalistic weather.

Rangers first game last week saw an emphatic 6-2 drubbing of nearest rivals Hibs at Easter Road. Following an action packed game with good football and some very good goals, it was a gift for reporters to talk the game up, as they are extremely eager to do at every opportunity when anyone else is playing - but this was Rangers! As predictable as it was lamentable, the BBC’s Chris McLaughlin managed to inveigle out of the match delegate ‘news’ that a couple of fans had been arrested for alleged sectarian singing. (It’s worth pointing out this is the same media outlet who never mentioned a thing on its main news on the Monday – when it came to light - after a ten-year-old Rangers fan was struck in the face with a bottle in a sickening sectarian attack at the last old firm game in February. Compare and contrast.)

Getting back, readers should be assured; this is not the norm when reporters interview the match delegate. It is a precedent that will not be followed up any time soon at games featuring other clubs. It was mischieve-making pure and simple by a journalist who has undermined the club at every turn these last few years.

In tandem with this latest debacle, was BBC Scotland pundit Graham Speirs perpetuating his usual inverse sense of fair play when commenting on all matters Rangers. When boyhood Gers fan and signing target Scott Allan asked for a transfer to the club, the poor lad was subjected to all manner of despicable abuse – to the point sectarian death threats were made and which Police Scotland are currently investigating. Preposterously, Mr Speirs used this story to launch yet another attack on Rangers fans - as only his warped mind can. (It’s a wonder he never managed to drag Rangers into the Gulf Stream changing course when fumbling about on his laptop at a drookit St Andrews recently..)

Having made a career out of this nonsense, the Rangers board have finally had enough of his rancid warbling. Along with McLaughlin, their press passes have been withdrawn forthwith.

Although not a course of action we like to see normally, previous regimes acted out of self interest rather than the club, it’s been a long time coming for these 2 purveyors of blatant and reprehensible anti Rangers hostility. Enough is enough! When IRA loving blogger Phil “tarred with the sectarian brush” MacGiolla Bhain is backing these muppets, you know the club is doing something right.

Hilariously, the reaction to the ban at Pacific Quay only serves to vindicate the board. BBC Scotland will now not send ANY reporters to Ibrox. There were no grandiose statements of intent when Jim Spence was barred at Dens Park. This publicly funded body do treat Rangers differently, and there are a plethora of examples to choose from. In fact, the club should dip into this mountain of evidence, a small portion of which I referred to in a previous article - http://www.vanguardb...nd-chris-graham to support their justified decision.

In true groundhog fashion, it’s only fitting we return to Pennsylvania. The US state is actually named after a William Penn, an entrepreneur who is credited with the development of the grid system in the state’s biggest city – Philadelphia. Ironically, it turns out grid systems are not the only similarities between Glasgow and Pennsylvania...

Our very own groundhog day will no doubt continue, but at long last we have a Rangers board who have demonstrated they have the minerals to act, and act at the appropriate time. That time is indeed – now.

Long may it continue!

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-31091808 - BBC reported it for up to 10 days after the match. It got it's own articles for what was a nasty and pointless attack on a child, whereas McLaughlin simply mentioned a couple of huns were arrested for sectarian singing in his match report <doh>

Also, the paragraph in bold <rofl>
 
<laugh>

66+ pages of photographs of Celtic fans.

To be fair Jif at least 50 of these pages are pictures of Rocket's wife <laugh>

JC really does boil the piss of the average hun.

We actually find JC really funny he doesn't annoy us in the least. Have you seen some of the things he's been saying in GC<whistle>

Setting aside the facietiousness for a moment there is actually very little that "boils the piss" of the average Rangers supporter at the moment. We are extremely happy at present.

To be honest mate I don't even read what they say. Probably in much the same way as most of you lot on here pay little attention to what the green brigade think or come out with.

Rats and sinking ship?

RANGERS International Football Club PLC announces that Douglas Park has decided to step down from the Board and also the Board of The Rangers Football Club Ltd. Mr Park feels he cannot at this time make a full contribution to the running of the Club and Company because of other commitments. The Board thanks Mr Park for his valuable contribution which helped ensure Board room change earlier this year. Mr Park’s place on both Boards will be taken by his son, Graeme.


Mr Park said: "I would like to put on record that although I held the position as Director for only a short period of time it has been an honour and a privilege to serve the Club and I will always be proud of the part I played in bringing this great institution back into the hands of those who have its best interests at heart. "I am confident that going forward the Club is in good hands and will offer all my support to the Board in pursuing what is best for the Club. Rangers is hugely important to me and my family and I am delighted that Graeme is joining the Board."


Bus contract tucked into back pocket <rofl>

Translation: Mr Park would rather spend his money on a profitable business - his own - than finance Dave King's 'war chest'.
 
I wonder how his son is gonne manage taking his place on the board poor fella.
