Why have Rangers to talk their way out of it?

It's not Rangers who are due in court over it ya walloper...

TonyTheGer

But is anyone surprised by it Tony ? after all your club (players and directors) are known for singing these songs , and we'll not get into the antics of your fellow fans ! i see thats the tax case started , you might be voting for that new name shortly my man ! and yous are also up in court on another financial matter today , is it not time Rangers started paying their bills ? {Ed007's Note - Adam had attended the official Rangers charity ball earlier that evening at The Hilton allegedly.}

Once again Tony The Ger falls silent , lost for words , i'd like to hear your views on Rangers "woes" , not just taking cheap shots at Celtic , which appears to be what he's all about .

Not long back from game (few drinks en route) good thing is I've seen us play better and get nothing.We stuck 2 it 2 day and got the result we deserved against 12 men (even. Rangers fans must hav wondered wot he was all about) I've said 4 weeks 2 get mattthews at rite back ,once injuries clear...... Bring it on......DH

Mrs E, sorry about the tip, my friend goes on horses being backed with serious money, as you saw there was a big gamble from 12/1 to 8/1 but it never featured. Told him to do better next time. Anyway FF81 help! any good tips ha ha LOL Timalloy {Ed007's Note - Don't eat yellow snow Tim.}

Timalloy...if all the tips won, I'd buy Hearts (only kidding). Keep them coming - Mrs E :)

ED007, Doh why can't you eat yellow snow? ha ha
Mrs E, think I would do better myself. I knew Stoke would be tired after Europa League and fancied Bolton, never put it on, what happens Bolton win 5-0, also had a feeling Wolves would win also. Trust your own instincts is my motto, just like ED007's in keeping clear of yellow snow LOL Timalloy
PS Mrs E if I won big I would buy Rangers and charge bears £100 entrance fee ha ha all profits going to Tim charities ha ha

I was surprised with the 5-0...smashing win for Owen. Stoke going great guns in Europa..could be the team to beat.

Ha..we'd own the 2 ugly sisters (oops) - Mrs E

Have to Laugh at some Rangrs fans on complaining about Celtic fans not wearing popies.

I for one do wear one as many of my family are still serving members in the force. But how can they come on to say that is shocking then go away and sing the famine is over why dont you go home.

Cant have it both ways

I personally think it's up to the individual themselves. No one can dictate what you should or shouldn't wear. just my opinion.#
CB

The opinions of the folk complaining - IQ challenged springs to mind.

06 Nov 2011 17:02:45
Whats the general opinion on Bolo Zenden then bhoys?? {Ed007's Note - I'm not too keen.}

Me neither but might do until Jan

06 Nov 2011 15:11:14
One thing that no one else has highlighted, two huge games we have just won. The Midfield looked a lot stronger with wanyama and Kayal gelling well, I can't see Ki getting back into the team. Not only that but I think he's been a main culprit as to why we've been so poor early on this season.
CB67 {Ed007's Note - I have been impressed with Wanyama.}

Yep, we seem to be able to find midfielders no problem. It's just when it comes to CH's we fall flat on our faces.

06 Nov 2011 14:43:43
Hi ed. Well done to Lenny. He was under huge pressure today and this week in fact. He had to win both games and he has with at least 6 or 7 players that would be in the starting 11 missing. Get behind lenny and the bhoys. Stokes has got to play in every game. Is that 5 in 4 games for him?? Let's just enjoy the result. I heard paddy mc court is messi idle. Lol. Bigirishmac {Ed007's Note - Hi BIM mate, hopefully we have turned a corner, some fight/confidence back in the team and never giving up on the game. It was a hard fought match today and glad to get the 3 points, a few weeks ago we would probably have drew that match.}

06 Nov 2011 14:27:47
Can't believe some people on here moaning about the performance today! I thought it was a good game. It was played at some pace hence the lack of free flowing football. Big diference in midfeild with kayal and wanyama looking a bit more physical. Good win let's keep it going.

DD

Cant beleive troops are moaning cause motherwell were physical, lets just get on with the job in hand,win every game win the lot

My gripe is they can kick everything above grass level an get away with it - same as hearts do and few other teams, we must step up to plate an get tougher against these mobs - but folk like lasley and the rest get away with anything against us - good 3 points today but..

I've not been Lennon's biggest fan of late , but you can't fault him today . I give him credit for his decisions and for the players commitment against a very heavy handed motherwell team who continued to leave the foot in on more than 1 occasion .

Lennon made the right changes at the right time today.
Looking at the game with most of motherwell's back 4 booked as lasley close to being sent off the game was screaming for mccourt. McCourt can ran at players and when players cant tackle you in ear of being sent off then that open's up space.

I'm happy with the result .
But i am still ticked off about losing the first goal again.
We are giving away too man corners in games and our midfielders are dropping off players at times . we need to close down player quicker.

But hey no moaning today i'm just enjoying winning again . lol shocking having to say that.

06 Nov 2011 14:06:23
that ref never had one spl game last season,and lets hope he gets no more this season either.a yellow card or two at the start of the game would have made a difference.wee forrest was kicked all over the park.motherwell got what they deserved.thought we were still poor today,but i,ll gladly take 3 pts off a team of thugs.

Could'nt have said it better myself, was shocking stuff. Could of been three well "players" sent aff today. I can't remember them showing as much hunger or commitment when they played the shame!!

Forrest got it stinkin and after that he was a ghost most of the game!for the ref he was pathetic! and for the team they made motherwell look good! awrite we won the last 2 games but a fink the team was not that good need to get this sorted and get lennon and co out,stef1967

The referee was shocking. 3 or 4 of their players could've easily walked. IMO Lasley, Higdon and Jennings were particularly lucky not to see more card action.

In the end it was a moment of innocuous stupidity that reduced their numbers rather than repeated, obviously late and somewhat dangerous challenges that could've led to injuries. Typical SPL referee.

In reply to the above i agree totally with what you say and it was the same last season when we lost 2-0 at fir park. and funny enough it was the same offenders,lasley,jennings,and co. look,we know that the opposition will try to put us under as much pressure as possible by closing us down and flying into tackles but the ref has to do their job by booking players when they commit rash challenges. if the ref does his job correctly by booking the offending players it more often than not takes that players edge away from him and he then has to think twice about commiting to a rash tackle. in not doing so the ref allows the players to continue with that style of play and the team as a whole to play the pressing game.

RabBhoy

The referee was a disgrace. The first law of refereeing is... The referee shall protect the skillful player! There's not a lot we can do about it and as the great Jock Stein said "We have to beat 12 men on the pitch." It still happens as today showed but thankfully it happens less frequently than in the past.

06 Nov 2011 13:02:03
Just an obsevation here,but has anyone else noticed the commitment,the pressing and of course the very aggressive tackling from this motherwell team which was surprisingly missing when they played rangers not so long ago. It was played like a bounce game with hardly a decent tackle to be seen,makes you wonder eh?

Yeh, because the players will just go out and be totally unprofessional- all eleven of them together. Has to be the only reason why Rangers win against teams. News for you, opinions like yours are why the celtic fans are loathed so much in this country- not by everyone of course. Get a grip you muppet.

Before i reply i'm the guy who posted the comment. Any football fan with a clear and honest mind who watched motherwell v rangers at fir park earlier in the season and watched todays game would clearly see a difference in commitment and approach in todays game by motherwell. In fact i would say the last motherwell v rangers game was almost like a bounce game. It was the exact same last season. Now i don't have any problems with teams showing 100% commitment and being aggressive in challenges (so long as they are within the rules) so long as they do so against every other opponent. which is clearly not the case with motherwell which is a shame because if they did so they might just have a chance of being serious contenders for winning the league.

RabBhoy

The fact that 2 people disagreed with my reply says it all. It must be ingrained. Or.............do they not agree that celtic fans are loathed. Your team need to find answers on the park. Is the fact your team will be a minimum of 9 points behind, when they catch up in games played, only because Rangers get all the decisions/ teams lie down to them etc. If you really think that professional footballers are going to do that.........lol. At least you won t be able to blame Rangers for paying the teams off. Unbelievable.

You don't have the money to pay teams off?

Forgot to add my name sorry .

TamBhoy1974

RabBhoy has a point and all Celtic fans know the score with regards to commitment from certain teams when they play the Loyal Rangers. What about Dunfermline in 2003 and Kilmarnock that year on the last game of the season. An utter disgrace which made a mockery of our game. Sutton spoke out about it and you would have thought he was Adolf Hitler the way the Scottish press and the SFA reacted to him.In fact I think he got a ban at the start of the following season and they had the cheek to demand a written apology! We all know what goes on and all your false indignation and petty name calling against what was a fair and reasonable observation by RabBhoy wont change what Celtic fans know to be true that the majority of Native born professional football in this country are either closet or openly Rangers fans.

C'mon to be fair our aggregate this season against Motherwell is now 6-1 - Mrs E

Was at the Dunfermline game at Ibrox and we slaughtered them from the start. They did equalise, remember. Did Celtic not win 4-0 that day? Just a bad day for killie I guess?

Paranoia, it must be in the genes. So Dunfermline lay down that day did they, and .............Celtic just played Killie off the pitch. One team wins by 5, the other by 4 but only one team lay down. Please explain the logic behind that thinking.

Ps...... Chris Sutton was out of order that day and an incredible sore loser, remember hearing it on radio on way back up the road. Do it on the pitch, stop the excuses. Thats why you are disliked btw. {Ed007's Note - And you are revered and held in the highest esteem around Europe, give your head a shoogle son.}

Who's disliked ...i'm confused ? - Mrs E

To the anonymous poster i would like to say this. It has been Celtic's inability to defend well enough while not taking chances that have came their way in games that have cost us points and nothing else,so where you get the impression that i was blaming ref's i don't know. I can't think of any big refereeing decisions that have ultimately cost Celtic the game so far this season. With regards to players professionalism i will say this,i admire a player who works hard and has a bit of a bit of dig about him just as much as the next man,but when they only raise their game against one team then yes i will question their professionalism. Say all you want about ian black at hearts but at least he doesn't care who he kicks up and down the park. I know a young professional footballer who has played in the spl and is rangers daft as are his entire family. He once told me that given the opportunity he could never bring himself to score against rangers and that for me says it all,there are far too many players who still hold an allegiance to a team they supported as a boy rather than giving 100% in every game for the club who pay their wages. As a foot note i will say this,it has been brought to my attention that in the previous motherwell v rangers game motherwell committed a grand total of 8 fouls. I would hazard a guess that lasley alone committed 6 or 7 fouls today.

RabBhoy

No ed, you miss the point. Celtic fans think of themselves as the greatest, in their eyes. No-one said Rangers fans had exemplary record. Self praise no honour, but not in timmys mind. Mrs E, disliked because of the 'everyone out to get us/ never our fault' attitude. {Ed007's Note - You said that is why we are disliked is because of Chris Sutton and for making excuses when we lose, by that I take it we are the only fans any where who make excuses when things don't go their way? And could you explain then why are Rangers 'disliked', to put it mildly. seeing as you seem such an expert in human interaction and rationalisation? Do Rangers fans never look for or use excuses when things don't go the way they want? How very sporting, suppose it's tiffing and some nice home baking all round when Rangers get beat, with a lot of 'Good show chaps' and gentlemanly handshakes.}

We don't think of ourselves as the greatest fans, we have also had awards from UEFA and FIFA. I'm still confused as to what you mean ? - Mrs E

I do love a good conspiracy theory - JFK ?! {Ed007's Note - You should have a look at the Conspiracy site we run Mrs E:

www.talkconspiracy.co.uk/

Ed, you were doing so well today. Now you have resorted to your dark side again. Come now, relax. In Scottish football, your club- certainly your fans- are infamous for their excuses. They even tried to pressurize the SFA last season, resulting in a strike. Celtic fans are far and away the worst, in this instance. Try not to be so sensitive and protective. After all, it is just a group of men running about chasing a ball, and getting vastly overpaid for doing so. Don t let it get the better of you. Come out of your 'dark place'. {Ed007's Note - My dark place is when I need to deal with idiots that make statements then when they are questioned they have no answers. I can only read what is said, look at the reason the poster said we are disliked.......so he was saying we are the only fans that look for excuses so we are disliked for that reason. Dealing with idiots leads you to some very dark places. I am still waiting for an explanation on why Rangers are 'disliked'??? Can you give me one?}

Yes ed, jealousy for one- most successful club in football- domestically of course. Theres one for you. {Ed007's Note - I don't know anyone that would say they are jealous of Rangers that had any common decency, they would take pride in their own team. Aberdeen fans are NOT jealous of Rangers, I can assure you of that. And I know plenty of fans of smaller clubs that are not jealous of Rangers, a lot of them wouldn't take a free ticket to the matches. So apart from domestic jealousy, what about elsewhere, in other countries where CFC fans are always welcomed? The point is for a Rangers fan to attempt to say that CFC are disliked is pathetic, your club has a history that a lot of teams would never be jealous of, that is a fact. Nice to see another player keeping up Rangers high standards: Who's jealous of Grant Adam???

news.stv.tv/scotland/277956-rangers-player-arrested-on-sectarian-offence/

Is this still about the Dundee Utd game last season where the Referee admitted to lying ? I can see why folk all over the whole wide world would hate Celtic fans for that !

Let the hate go..

Mrs E

LoL...Barcalona fans will be getting the next flight over to Glasgow for next home game at Ibrox. Ooooftt jealous...so funny

Ha ha ed, just because I never gave you the answer you wanted. I never said Rangers fans were loved, you brought that up. Just saying that your clubs fans are not so 'whiter than white'- typical response from a celtic fan is usually" but we are not as bad as you". Stop being so sensitive, ya big blouse you.xx {Ed007's Note - A blouse?? Ouch, that hurt. I never said we were whiter than white, but we are a lot better and more respected than Rangers fans ever will be sweetheart.}

Wrong, according to the bible,every one is a sinner. Don t think there are good sinners and bad sinners. Another way of saying you, like me, are no better or worse than any other being. {Ed007's Note - Now that is deep!}

Is the taxman jealous of Rangers ?

A serious question.....

Why are celtic the only team in Britain to hold a minutes applause on rememberance day and not a minutes silence for our fallen heros not everyone except celtics fallen heros??

Why is there always protests regarding this subject??

I don't get it........

A few weeks back leicester vs birmingham done a clap rather than silence. (was because someone died).

Anyway in a minute silence anyone can shout boo etc at any ground at any team. If everyone chaps it drains out anyone try to be wide & shout or what ever.

Not just Celtic but any team think its a good idea tbh.

Come on you bhoys in green
Lenny {Ed007's Note - Most European teams have a minutes applause to mark occasions.}

The first time I remember the minute applause at a footy ground was after Jinky died wasn't it ?
It even made the News at Ten that night.
The Real KB

I think the first time i remember a minutes applause was for the september 11th most clubs in europe did the minutes applause instead of silence . also in scotland they did a minutes applause when the pope died after morons where heard shouting at the est brom game in england. Also at Hampden cup final for jinky

Because they are Scotlands shame and that is now becoming more apparrent thoughout the U.K............... Hang your head Reid, you are a disgrace to the thousands of veterans you once represented as a government official. They have gotten away with this disrespectful behaviour for too long, Please tell us why a football club cannot observe a minutes silence ? sorry, the ONLY club in the whole country?................... Shameful ! {Ed007's Note - Why have FIFA banned England from wearing poppies on their tops in their upcoming friendly with Spain? Wearing a poppy should be a personal thing, not be turned into a media circus by Rangers supporters looking for something to moan about. I fail to see what the big deal is, if you want to wear one then do so, but don't try to force others into doing so, we do live in a democratic society and I know plenty of English people who also refuse to wear them.}

WHAT ?... Me & my Rangers supporting hubby were just talking about the poppy business & he pointed out 'Do you really think Croatian Jelavic will wear a poppy again if he leaves the UK' ? Total fan apease issue at Ibrox and no other reason. FYI - my great-uncle won the Victoria Cross in the 1st WW (Hugh McIver) & I wear mine through choice - Mrs E {Ed007's Note - Seems that we all agree it should be a personal choice. You must be so proud of your uncle Mrs E, a true hero.}

Oh we've been in the local paper many a time...I leave it to other members of the family who like their mugshots in the paper lol.

I've never known it to be such an issue as it has become recently, my facebook is full of it. Last time I looked, we beat the Germans to retain freedom of speech & opinion. It should be a choice & if you feel soo strongly about it, do something about it - join the army, volunteer at your local war vetran place or take time to do the charity work...actions speak a lot louder than words. Now let that be an end to it - Mrs E

Ed, you are right, we do live in a democratic society. It is because of those who did not have a choice, that we now are afforded these opportunities. Perhaps Celtic fans against modern British military system, should make those points properly.It has been an embarrassment to your club in the past. Do you reckon some of them even know why they object to the British Army? {Ed007's Note - Do all Rangers fans know why they wear poppies or is it just because it 'winds the Tims up'? Same thing mate, education is the key.}

Rangers fan here, I believe a minutes silence is a far more fitting show of respect. To me, the applause comes across as really cheap, does not seem as respectful. A properly held minutes silence, followed by huge applause at the whistle.

The 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour - end of the 1st world war and the poppy comes from the poem 'In Flanders Fields'. Your right, National Service wasn't a choice but there has been so much going on since 1918 that some will object now to the 'actions' of the modern day British Army - Mrs E

Why should a football ground be silent..says who ?

Mrs E, what are you on about? I just said that silence is more appropriate than applause.

And I asked you why its more appropriate ? I don't want to argue anymore over it, I know it comes down to opinion. - Mrs E

I came here today as its sunday the
day of rest for some people.I have a question for the editor..Why dont you post contributions from rangers fans the way our ed posts from celtic fans
e.g. lenny timalloy keano16 miko etc all clearly reprobates yet you all say that they are rejects and still you post their crap here and yet
I know personally you wont for the
most part post anything even reasonable
put here by rangers fans who have made
genuine posts here why is that? are you so bitter and twisted and boring that you have been in denial for so long now that you want to control the whole of the celtic fan base and put them in denial too..
funny editor or editors lets have a straight forward answer if you have one in you please. {Ed007's Note - I do post from plenty of Rangers fans, Tony, Germ, FF81 amongst others. If the post meets site guidelines, isn't abusive, childish or total garbage then I post them. Look through the posts and see, plus using a name gives your post more credence. Coming on and calling people reprobates is abusive, I was going to delete this garbage but thought I would explain as I fail to even see what you are talking about. I think you are the one that is bitter and twisted in this situation, and childish. You poor little diddums.}

Well said ed. very well said.

Come on you bhoys in green
Lenny

, clearly reprobates !
Ahh ed, that's cheered me up no end after yesterday.
Our page is like a minefield at the minute.
But I like that. .
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - I know mate, I tried to edit through the LFC site and just gave up, you know I usually tell them it's me and will help the site move along but it was unbelievable the amount of garbage and abusive posts aimed at the Eds.}

What, from our "fans" ?
I went for a walk yesterday evening to calm down. Whilst I was out, some **** egged me. Lol. Got a full egg right on the top of my shoulder, nearly took me head off. Think it was from a passing car.
It's a hard life.

Loovens and samaras to start on your own head be it lennon if we dont win against motherwell and you have started these dumplings there will be no way back

Loovwns isn't playing, and samaras had a great game against Rennes so give a chance to samaras if s**te then ok.
