What an embarrassment seeing The Rangers fans trying to get autographs from Celtics CL opponents at Murray Park! But I suppose that's the small team mentality you get when your a fourth tier, bottom of the barrel team. Cringeworthy can't describe how it looked.

Briggs

You should have seen them on saturday asking the queens park players for autographs as well

Seriously you are a to$$er briggs, who wouldn't want World cup winners Pirlos or Buffons autograph.

You need to get a grip man and drop this air of footballing snobbery that you celts have developed over the last year. because as far as I can see your team is still mutton dressed as lamb.

After your comment I hope Juve obliterate yous.

Wise auld Bear

Didnt know it was on, or i'd have been there lol doug t. s. o

Where else in scotlands league set up would you get to. meet footballers of pirlos quality? Don't tell me Kris commons.!

@ 4 where else in scotlands league? they only trained their you didn't sign them. but if you want to know where else you can meet players of that quality you should try parkhead tomorrow night you know the reason their over here in the first place I know guys who even managed to pick up messi, s autograph hanging about their

Surelt the OP is that the wind up here?

Not only are Rangers the bad guys for letting Juve train at Auchenhowie but the fans are the bad guys for getting world class players' autographs?! I mean, how low can some fans actually go to get the autograph of European Cup AND World Cup WINNER, Andrea Pirlo.

These fans should be ashamed of themselves.

Briggs, get a grip!

TTG

The only embarrassment Briggs is your post, its there with Commons pathetic dig at Rangers.

What about the autograph hunters at Parkhead tonight what will you say about them or is yours a one sided argument aimed at Rangers supporters.

Think before you post please. PB

Re commons pathetic dig at rangers
dont blame commons its the press at it again. The guy agrees to an interview and answers tongue in cheek to a question by interviewer and it gets a banner headline some people on these pages need to grow up. jamie

Good luck to all the autograph hunters. Can't for the life of me see what this OP's problem is.

And if Charles Green was as smart as he pretends to be he'd have invited Barca to Auchenhowie a few months back.

@8 How bitter and twisted do you come across. How is Neil Lennon bitter and twisted. Yes maybe in the early days he showed to much passion but he has grown up now and actually pleasant to listen to.

Ian

Didnt realise bellamy could read or write! {Ed001's Note - actually he is quite an intelligent lad, for a footballer, he was just extremely immature until a couple of years ago. A visit to Africa opened his eyes a bit, he has changed, a lot, from a drunken lout to a caring lad who is trying to help others. The death of his close friend and mentor Gary Speed hit him hard too. I guarantee you that he would do things differently if he had the chance, such as the autograph, he would have signed it. Just a shame that he will be remembered as he was, rather than as he is now.}

Bitter and twisted just about sums you up OP and get your facts right Bellamy laughed and said I can't sign that (A rangers top) don't know if the guy asking him to sign was a Rangers fan or not but a pound gets you a tenner that Rangers top if Bellamy had signed it would have went to straight to Ebay

Even the guy who asked him said he was at the wind up to lighten up

hope charlie green is true to his word in the ibrox capacity increase. we need well over sixty k in this day and age, if not more. time to fill in corners. hope they keep the screens somewhere though still. we need to upgrade. be nice to see one stand, to have standing only. one stand family only as well. the other two stands as they are. and better cushioned seats as well. been in emirates, there seats and catering area is brilliant

Rangers can't fill ibrox as it is, why the need for nearly 10,000 seats?

Let's see how many Bears buy tickets when it's back to normal price (Charlie will start increasing as you move up the leagues, in the share prospectus). 9,000 didn't renew even at reduced price, so let's not get carried away at 60k and additional capacity, you haven't managed 50k yet this season on reduced prices.

Last I heard ibrox holds 52,000 the average attendance is 46,000 that's 6000 empty seats you should try fill them first

Can't even get that many to sign a petition.

@3

We are not allowed to sit in with the away fans in the corner, also seats lost for segregation. If 60k becomes reality, it will not be for sfl3 games, use your loaf.

Better to spend money on the ground than let McCoist waste it on "players" to help us win Div 2/3 next season

If the stadium capacity is increased then I expect the amount of season ticke books to be increased.

Well parkheeds capacitys over 60,000 the only time you get near that is european games. and next time you play us. so go for it mr green

Sounds like wheeze to get fans to pay for more stands, did they not already pay for club stand.

The tv are claiming tha the sfa are set to take craig whyte to court over his unpaid fine. I thought uefa rules prohibites member cluba and associations using the legal system and instead forced them to use CAS. Possible sanctipns ahead for the sfa? Could we see clubs an international teams banned from european competitions as a result? Interesting times ahead.

Not in this case. I'm sure UEFA will be fine with this use of the legal system as it is an attempt to enforce the judgement of the national association. If this was an incorrect judgement, the UEFA wouldn't be happy. They don't like clubs taking associations to court because the association is supposed to be the law within the game, hence the recourse to CAS for clubs and individuals instead of the local legal system.

Therefore, no bans etc, as UEFA won't be bothered about this. Nice try though.

Although iwould like to see him taken all the way, but considering whyte is now outside the juristiction of the SFA how is a court of law going to make him pay a fine imposed by them, you do realise the SFA have no legal power in the country and no right to impose fines on anyone not within their organisation

JG

@3 Eh was hne not in their organisatio when he got the fine.
Tam

No he wasnt within their jurisdiction. Only clubs officials/players are liable to their laws. At the time, eventhough he was chairman, he wasnt a club official.

Somehow I just suspect SFA maybe just got legal advice before doing this?

@4 So he was the Chairman of the club but not an official?. So why would he get a vote, also was he not the owner of Rangers, wake up and smell the coffee, you obviously don't know what your talking about.
