You really can't make up Rangers troubles.

First the fans set up a fighting fund to try and help the club but instead send their money here www.bluenose.co.uk Instead of www.thebluenose.co.uk
(I'm sure Mr custard is happy with all the money)

Then an older fan posts a video of him playing a song on a child's keyboard(I love the shoulder shrugs)

Now we find out they (perhaps) are not legally in administration

They are almost a parody of themselves

Just like the whole of the SPL :1orglaugh I think it's on level par with Scottish Rugby in terms of badness
to be honest :facepalm:

I'm going for a Real Madrid V Barca in the Champions League final and an Atletico V Athletic Bilbao final
for the Europa League :)
 
Watching the FA Cup game between Tottenham and Bolton and Bolton player Fabrice Muamba suddenly collapsed on the pitch and medical staff from both teams are working frantically to resuscitate him, they tried on the pitch and on the stretcher as they carried him off. Game has now been abandoned and Muamba is on the way to hospital still receiving CPR. Let's hope he pulls through although his situation looks dire, what a horrible situation :crying:
 
I looked at a Rangers forum, as I do for many teams, and I read a thread where there were a few posts wishing it was Lennon(in reference to the Celtic manager Neil Lennon)

I don't hate all Rangers fans, I have friends that are Rangers fans and I know many, most of them are just normal people that support their club. But there are some sections of Rangers fans that I do despise. The ones that wish death on someone and send them bullets and improvised bombs should be ashamed of themselves.

Some of the stuff they say on there is sick. Saying things like I hope Lennon kills himself because of his depression before next weekends old game. People like that just ruin the reputation of a club. I may be wrong but I'm sure I heard yet more sectarian songs from a section of the Rangers support today.

As I say, I don't hate all rangers fans, but you can see why I despise some of them. I have no problem with the fans that condict themselves in a respectful manner, it's the ones that are idiots, that I really hate




I really hope the player is ok, it's horrible to see a player collapse

It's a real shame about Muamba who I can remember having a couple of great seasons with Birmingham,when they were in the Premier League.I hope he pulls through it,but I don't think he'll be playing at that level ever again to be honest.If I were him i'd certenly think about it.

On a lighter note congratulations to Super Kilmarnock in dumping Celtic for the Scottish League Cup :glugglug: They certenly have made a dire season a lot less diresome for me now :D

The better team won today, they deserved it. The Celtic playerrs looked pretty compacent, maybe because all the journalists were saying that it was a given that we would win the treble.

It may only be the small cup but any trophy is a good trophy and we will never get a better chance to win a treble.

Rangers will be a poor team for some time to come, so I don't think it will be easy for them to challenge for the title and it opens up a great chance to win a pessible treble or more of league titles in a row. But today we should have won. At least it didn't hurt as much as last year, I'd rather lose to Kilmarnock than lose to rangers.
It's Kilmarnock's first ever league cup so they deserve it. The best team today, and they deserve it.

Celtic may also have won today had it not been for some amazing saves by Bell. It's more dissapointing loosing the treble than it is losing the League cup
I'll be supporting Kilmarnock next week. We may never get another chance to win it at Ibrox and it would be nice to show Rangers fans the pain we felt when Rangers won it at Celtic park

To be honest I don't think we'll be in much pain as much as you's in 99,because to be honest we know we are in a really shit state anyway.I reckon it'll be 5 years before Rangers will start winning things again,unless that Fortress deal and the supposed bid from Singapore comes to light.

I hope you's have a great day on Sunday because if we play just like we have done over the last few games,then the writing's certenly on the wall :1orglaugh

I just hope it's a game worth remembering ;)

Whatever happens, it will be a good atmosphere. IF it is a title decider(assuming Motherwell drop points to Kilmarnock) both fans will be right up for it. The Celtic fans will be having a party no matter what but the Rangers fans will probably have sometthing to come back with. I hope it's a clean game with Celtic hopefully coming out victorious


Real Madrid 2 draws giving hope to Barcelona dream again with another spanish league title.
I doubt Barca will claw it back but i would love it if they did. Barcelona my favourite team outside of Scotland so i really hope they win the league again this season
 
I know.But you'd have to agree that it was all laid on a plate for you's :1orglaugh:

Agreed, it was easier than it could have been, but you can tell that's the case when a team wins before the split or with a number of games remaining.
That's not to say it's devalued though. Sure, Administration played it's part but Rangers were 15 points ahead at one point-with several people saying it was all over, ironic now

Administration didn't allow Celtic to win the league, Rangers did

That's true but I think at the point where we started to lose that lead,was when things in the background started to emerge as it has done now.I can'texactly remember Rangers ever losing a 15 point lead in the past 30 odd years.So something really bad must have happened as it has done now - as I for one thought that maybe Celtic would pull some points back,but definatly not to totally swing it the other way.So for me,the only major factor would have been the administration,to which you would put that down to the board - and so I think it was the board who lost us the league,with all the shady doings they've been getting up to all these years.Most folks blame Whyte but i'd put most of the blame on Murray,and how he seems to be not as involved in this tax case is beyond me.I hope the HMRC nails his ass to the wall ;)

I agree with that for the most part. Ally Mcoist is a pretty inexperienced manager as well, everyone thought he would have loads of experience due to his time under Walter Smith. But I'm sure Smith would never have let that amount of points slip away, no matter what was going on in the background

However the part in bold reminded me of this, pretty funny, given most of it is not exaggerated. I've heard many Rangers fans saying word for word what is in the video
