Rangers: McGregor; Broadfoot, Goian, Bocanegra, Papac; Aluko, Davis, Edu, Wallace; McCulloch, Healy.


Subs: Alexander, Perry, McCabe, Wylde, Hemmings, Kerkar, Mervan

For the next couple of hours off field matter do not concern me.
It's all about Ally and the players.

Quote from a Galatasaray fan, surprised at their support, their forums are filled with it.

Cracking atmosphere.

Papac red card. Things not going to plan for the full house today.

Has anyone heard anything about a Czech Consortium being interested in Rangers?

Eirebear

Papac off - reckless tackle but not a straight red imo.

Players need to get a ****ing grip of themselves, the fans that turned up today deserve much better than this ****e.

Eirebear

Scratch that - just seen it again.
Stupid tackle, red card.

Even having seen it, I think red was harsh enough, I expected a yellow but Papac is not a dirty player. Silly tackle alright, but was surprised to see a straight red.

Not watching the game.

Do ye deserve to be 1 down?

Jelle1880

Not really, 1-1 would have been more correct.

Healy was never offside for his goal.

They should be down by 2 or 3 mate. Healy off now and Mervan Celik on

The_Kew_Tour

Hmm I think Rangers playing ok well enough for draw so far.

Next goal is big now.

Eirebear

Rangers just shading it in the inetpness stakes from the linesmen today tbh.

Jelle1880

Brines needs to be sacked, this is not incompetence but cheating.

the realpigiron

Things not going Rangers way, couldn't happen to a nicer bunch:D

Eirebear

**** you Brines, that's twice today.

the realpigiron

Motherwell winning 3-0. Mind the gap:D

Jelle1880

Two-footed challenge from a Killie player 'aye nae bother, have a yellow card'.

Brines, **** off.

Eirebear

Can't believe that's Fiowler only getting booked now - brines is a ****ing joke, his linesmen have been a ****ing joke.
Unfotunately the players have been a ****ing joke too.

The top 4 in the spl taking the first letter from each club and reading from 4th to 1st now reads HMRC

Bad first half, decent second half, should have won this were it not for Brines.

Was listening on the radio there and according to the BBC commentator, Killie were comfortable and deserving winners.

Watched the game, and no they werent.

1st half they were the better side i agree - but then again Healy was never offside for the first chopped off goal.
2nd half they didnt really threaten - Rangers had a second perfectly good goal chopped off, and were probably the better side.

Killie played well, but the BBC are talking ****e.

PauloMN

Pains me to say this as a Celtic fan, but Rangers were robbed of that today by Brines.

The_Kew_Tour

Rangers were the better side and should have won, but when your luck is out....

ColeTrain

That's some result. Heard Killie were one up earlier but still thought Rangers would pull it back. It's not surprising though, There's a lot of poor players in that team, gone is the quality and it looks downhill from here on.

Jelle1880

Not really down to bad players though, we should have won this if Brines didn't cheat us out of two perfectly good goals.

I just saw the header, it looked a perfectly good goal tbf. Brines is a sh*te referee.

Well Rangers would know a lot about cheating. They cheated their way to numerous league titles and cups over the years, spending money they didn't have on players and not paying taxes and pension contributions of their employees etc.

You were cheated out of a draw yesterday were ya, well boohoo. Ye should be put out of business and have your titles stripped from ye. Rangers are a disgrace.

Gee, you'll give yourself a heart attack dude.

The_Kew_Tour

Has he come up for air yet.

The obsession of some Celtic fans sprouting thrash is disappointing, but not surprising.

bobbysands81

I see the Scottish papers are reporting on the "bile" being sung, yet again, from Ibrox.

"We're bankrupt, our teams needs a lift, i know let's sing songs about hating Catholics!"

The_Kew_Tour

Just curious what are the chances at this stage of Rangers getting a chance to play in Europe from SFA by end of March?

Would ye be optimistic or does it look unlikely?

Out of a win you ****ing idiot.

Honestly, **** off if you hate us so much, nobody is forcing you to come into a thread about 'a disgrace'.

Bobby: Gross exageration, one rendition of The Billy Boys was heard but it drowned out pretty fast (some are even saying it was Killie singing their version of it, but I don't know about that).

By the way, you need to make up your mind.
If it was TBB that was sung then it refers to Fenians, and you always say you're not insulted by that.

The Sunday Times are quoting a government official who says that HMRC will try and negotiate a deal with Rangers.

Sing what you like mate, you seem to think i offered an opinion on what was said whereas i'm just pointing out what the papers said.

In fairness, not many have been more obsessed with Rangers FC lately than yourself. You are posting more here and on the admin thread than most Rangers fans are!

Sunday Herald report on yesterdays game

Sunday Herald wrote:

A rendition of God Save The Queen became half-hearted as the game was played out, but the objective of reviving the spirit of Rangers, of expressing defiance, had been lost by then. The occasion had an edge, but at times it delivered only a self-inflicted harm.

Perhaps the home fans, in the circumstances of their adversity, fell back on instinct. They certainly abandoned their restraint. What arose was the kind of sentiment that the club have been working hard to eradicate. There was a rendition of Super Rangers in the first half, with a clear chant of "F***** bastards". Then the Billy Boys, a song banned by Uefa for the line, "we're up to our knees in F***** blood", was sung. After the interval, and some decisions by Iain Brines that riled the home fans, the vast majority of the stadium chanted, "Who's the F***** in the black".

The return of the old anti-Catholic intolerance was a depressing occurrence. The day was an opportunity for the Rangers fans to show their spirit, to express the devotion that would be the strongest defence against the threat of club's perilous financial state. Around kick-off, the songs had been rousing and it was possible to acknowledge that the support of the club, in its vastness and its commitment, could be a positive influence in the coming difficult weeks.

Yet what the supporters emphasised was a confusion of intent. They came to display how they might save their club, but then betrayed it. It is a time when Rangers' identity, and their own influence, can be redefined. The club is in a vulnerable state, but can still be redeemed. Religious bigotry had become a relic, but its sudden resurgence, as an emotional, almost spontaneous reaction, suggests that it still lies too close to the surface.

Of course I'd have more posts on here than you - you've completely missed my point (unsurprisingly).

The sooner this cancer is removed from scottish sport the better. anyone on here who tries and defends such singing needs to take a look at themselves but i suspect they are too bigoted to see any harm in it.
