The sentimental part of you would say give him the gig full time, but it's probably better to get someone with more experience in.

Barry Ferguson will be remembered in his stint as caretaker manager for restoring a clubs wounded pride. Nah feck it give him the job full time Slippy G had no prior managerial experience either.

Happy St Patrick's Day, Corky.

How are you celebrating it today, wandering round Cork in your bowler hat?

You are winding us up.
He's interim for a reason.
His previous records are embarrassing.
Enjoy the win,and take the team effort as not a lost cause for the next fella.
 

I only know three Everton and Rangers fans - and one includes my dad

Lost count of how many Everton and Celtic there are. In fact, thereā€™s a fella at the top of the stairs in the Gwladys behind where you sit (well, and I sit too) who always has an Everton and Celtic jumper on

About 2005 I was upstairs in the Wins;ow with Mrs BR and a young Miss BR. I had one of the EFC scarves that has a tricolour on it. and I noticed one patron at the bar glaring at us - then I noticed he was weraing a UVF 1912 t-shirt. About the only time that has happened in 44 years of travelling over to GP. He didn't do or say anything.

I also know an Irish rs (decent enough bloke otherwise) whose rs jersey got soaked in the city centre from heavy rain, so he wore an Ireland top to the pit with his rs scarf.

He was shocked at the vitriol and abuse he got from fellow rs fans - calling him all sorts with F****** Fenian Barsteward among the most popular greetings to this fellow rs.

The Derry Club is plastered with rs photos and scarves etc .
Should wear a nice blue top of some discriptionšŸ¤”, it is Paddy's original official associated colour after all. šŸ˜‰
Laudo you are close but there is no de jure Irish national colour in law - the Constitution specifies the official colours of the national flag green, white and orange.

Green has been the de facto national colour North and South since before partition - soccer, rugby, hockey etc

When the Order of St Patrick was established in the 18th century, they adopted a sky blue for their regalia, similar to craft Masonry.

The first time the Tricolour was used in public was in 1848 during a short lived skirmish in Co Tipperary. It represents Green for the nationalist tradition and orange for the loyal tradition with the white of peace between.

This was not the flag used in 1916 - it was green with 'Irish Republic ' written in orange.

When the Free State was established in 1923 it adopted the 1848 flag and the 1937 Constitution reinforced this.

Interestingly the standard of the President is a harp on an azure not sky blue background . Quite a pleasant standard and might be helpful if there is ever unity in terms of designing a 32 county flag. A similar symbol appears in the UK royal coat of arms.

Interesting stuff, was sure ROI wore a blue strip recently and saw this article.

Yup that is correct about Ireland wearing blue except for the common mistake of calling the Presidential azure blue St Patrick's Blue. The latter is a sky blue used by the eponymous order on their sashes.

Sash of Order of St Patrick. As previously posted it was founded in 18th c and is basically a dormant Order since Independence. There is no direct association of blue or green for that matter with Patrick himself.

The harp on azure background has been on British royal coat of arms since Henry VIII.

The Free State had been using the harp since 1922. The office of President was set down in the 1937 Constitution, the Presidential standard with harp on azure background was formally adopted in 1945, and Ireland formally declared itself a Republic in 1948, leaving the Commonwealth.

 

Well done Rangers:



This bit:

This charge will bring consequences for the club, while the club is also working to identify those responsible and will ensure they also face consequences.

For the avoidance of doubt, if you do not believe in 2025 that absolutely everyone is welcome to follow Rangers whether at Ibrox or away, then Rangers is not the club for you, and you should disassociate yourself with the club immediately.
