Would be interesting to get the view of a proper Rangers supporter, shame there is only a plastic, blinkered one on here, they can't all be that bad surely?

I know 2 types of Rangers fans. Half of them are reasonable people who are capable of recognising the failings of their club and laughing at themselves. The others are like wannabe Bomber Browns who'll believe anything about Celtic/The Freemasons/SFA/Inland Revenue. They're the closest thing to Kopites i've ever seen.
Sure was, a player who would have graced any pitch, would have loved him at Goodison, IMO the best player to have played club football in Scotland and only cost £600k, he had the lot.
Which is the type we have amongst us, decent or kopite? go on say it, say it please lollol

Oh yes I’d have loved him here too
He was actually eyed to join us in the 90s when this fella was interviewed for the managers job

The Dutch coach, Wim van Hanegem, is the new front-runner for the post of Everton manager.

I can’t find the Echo report however I remember they reported he was set to make Larsson one of his first signings should he get the job.

It is whataboutery, I admit that, but like I said, they weren't worried about doing the right thing when they somehow managed to get awarded a point in a game in which they fielded an ineligible player, and ICT lost out on qualification as a result. It's a bit much now to be painting yourself as leading the fight for justice when you've just cheated another team out of qualification for the next stage of a tournament.
I think Hearts and Thistle getting relegated is incredibly harsh. With Celtic being awarded the title, The Rangers didn't really lose anything out of it. They were a distant second when football stopped, and they wouldn't have won the title. If the season was made null and void, they still wouldn't have won anything, so the only difference to them is they don't like the fact their rivals were awarded the title, but they weren't punished in any way.
Personally, I would have liked to see some temporary reconstruction to accommodate teams who were relegated, then have more teams relegated next season, but I'd imagine all the different scenarios were looked at, and I think over 80% of the clubs voted for this outcome. It's not what I would have preferred, but over 80% isn't exactly what what we call up here a bawhair difference.
Clubs may be reluctant to vote in temporary reconstruction, if it means instead of one team going down ,and another in the relegation play off next season, two teams would go down, and two would go into in the play offs. They would be voting to double their chances of being relegated, and at the very least being in a relegation dogfight
As for the charges, I may be wrong, but isn't there a rule in football that you're not supposed to take things to court, and you go to a court for sport arbitration? If you're asked to sign up to an agreement that you won't take the football authorities to court, then decide to take legal action when something doesn't go the way you wanted it to, surely there must be some kind of punishment to act as a deterrent to other clubs?
In principle, everyone should have the right to take legal action if they feel it's warranted, but that could lead to anarchy. A simple thing like a rule that so many of your bench must feature players under a certain age could be challenged by someone who's lost out on a place in the squad due to a rule that may not stand up to legal scrutiny, but is deemed by football authorities to be good for the game in general.

That you can't see the outrageous hypocrisy of calling people in another country knobheads for bombing each other, when Britain has invaded and bombed other countries is exactly the type of opinion I've come to expect from people with a little Englander attitude.
One main difference is, Iraq hadn't done the UK any harm. If it had invaded the UK, kept some of it's population down, refused them their right to vote, denied them employment, allowed over a millions of them to starve to death, and burned UK citizens out of their homes, then maybe some kind of retaliation by Britain would have been deemed appropriate?
We don't bother with things like waiting for someone to do something to us, we just invade places, and bomb the Scheidt out of them. Especially if the US tells us to...

From that, I deduce you know four supporters of The Rangers...
I think I may know those two guys myself...

Waaaay more than that. I worked on Glasgow 2014 and the split in the natives was about 50/50. I lived in Bridge of Weir as well which was just over the hill from Rangers dormitory town Kilmacolm and cycled with Johnstone Wheelers which was again a pretty even split. At their best they can have a laugh at their own expense (the security guard at the 2014 offices was great, like), at the worst they're carving FTP into the vending machines Barrs gave the offices as a gift (Same security guard devoted a weekend to finding out on CCTV who did it and having them fired, so fair play).

Aren't Bridge of Weir, and Kilmacolm, pretty posh places?
You should have visited Larkhall, where business are warned if they have green whatsoever in the sign outside their shop, it will be smashed.
When I worked there, the cable boxes outside houses that are painted green everywhere else, were painted grey because the cable company Telewest had been warned what would happen to the boxes if they were green.

Kilmacolm is pretty fancy, but then you go half a mile up the road and you're in Port Glasgow which, erm, isn't. BoW is like a lot of Scottish towns, you have huge houses for rich people 50 metres from some terrible scheme. Another couple of stories from my time amongst them... I used to cycle back home from Merchant City along Paisley Road West, through Govanhill, past Ibrox etc... The day they went out of business it was like a warzone. Absolutely mad. I also worked with a guy who's brother lost an eye on the subcrawl when they got off at Ibrox and he ordered a pint whilst wearing green trainers and got glassed on his way back to the table.
This must now create a massive problem for the Ibrox support who are now green with envy thinking about the Parkhead trophy cabinet.

Who would have thought people could get so attached to an operating company? Imagine what it would have been like if the club had been liquidated!
Plenty of Celtic supporters wear blue clothes. Over the years, I've had a lot more blue clothes than green. Very few Rangers fans wear green clothes. If you see someone wearing a blue jacket, or shirt etc he could support anyone. If you see someone wearing green, it's not definite he's a Celtic fan, but it's almost 100% that he doesn't support Rangers.
