Is Sports Direct not like the Poundland of the shopping world? I mean could you not go in there with £50 and come out with about 20 big bags of 'goodies'. Like who wears Lonsdale,fila,slazenger and Dunlop? FFS do they not make tyres? Any of the big brands they do have are like things you wouldn't wear to put the bins out.So I won't be boycotting the shop as I have never been a customer.
Briggs {Ed039's Note - I do plenty of shopping there Briggs, is there a problem with people shopping in there or only now as there is an association with rangers?)

I bought a pair of Adidas Trainers & an Adidas Team GB tracksuit top and it cost me about £85 really nice stuff Guttys were plain smart & a bargain at £35 but hardly bloody poundland ur cheap dig is just pathetic because sports direct is now associated with Rangers
Agree11

For someone who has never been in the store or shop in it you seem to know an awful lot about it .I'm thinking your just a sad little man who wants most to do with a e reputable sports company on the basis they are in business with the rangers.tragic and so f****** sad.

@2 I get my champions gear from the Celtic shop....you know OUR OWN shop!
@3 Are you sure...easily pleased I think.
@4 When did I say I was never in the shop? Have an adult or your carer read my post out to you obviously you can't read.
@6 Try read more posts and that will quash that statement.
@7 The initial fee for Ki if he signs for Swansea is £6.3m with £1.2m of add-ons dependent on appearances, with a 15% sell on fee. Not bad for a bench warmer who can't get a regular game for the champions especially in these poor/ bad economic times...don't you agree?
@8 CORRECT
@9....... Eh?
Briggs

Briggs son, keep it all going, it's great you and your lot will never let Rangers die will you, we could have been playing in a under 15s league and yous would still keep the ledgend that is Rangers FC going.
A massive thanks is due to you Celtic supporters for refusing to give up on us, so if you are looking to blame someone for the special treatment afforded to Rangers which helped us keep going, have a look in the mirror pal, or in your case the tinfoil.

I love Sports Direct! Only ever get stuff out of there! Never shop in the other stores cause they are generally overpriced but Sports Direct are great for a bargain! I'd rather be associated with them than JJB same as I'd rather shop in Primark than Marks and Spencers. It's the economy we live in....better the money in my pocket than some overpriced stores till!

"the Poundland of the shopping world" - last time I checked, Poundland was a shop

Post 7 is half right. Sports direct are properly doing the best out there and pound land are doing better than tesco lol (was in the paper and few weeks back) also sports direct have a % in usc.
As for ki 5/6m for a player who can't get into the starting 11?no bad business there plus would rather sell him that ledley etc he was a ok player good when the team was winning murder when the team needed to dig in. Remember celtic wage bill last season was around 34m and could put out 3 different teams with the amount of players we have. If we don't get into the Cl then the ki sale is still a profit and cuts our debt down.
Selling players for profit is good business losing players for nothing or next to nothing is bad hence how the puppet glove is getting pics with the fans just so he can get the money in the door
I'll give the newco 3 years before it all kicks off again with the club for sale. Charlie boy is only there to pay back Ticketus....

Seeing how you lot love attendance figures as you were all talking about it, I would like to point out that the derby game in spl had close to 14000 which is the most since 20years I think. So take it easy when talking about the attendances are bad in spl and all will be gone without yous.

It's a bad day when the main talking point after a weekend of football is the attendances. Since when has it become relevant to both media and fans to harp on about it. We know attendances are dire for most team so why the big fuss?
Briggs {Ed039's Note - Or sports shops Briggs, pot kettle me thinks)
Agree6
Disagree5
@2, one game calm down? Do you tell that to yourself or your other supporters by any chance? Or do you only save that for anything/anyone that does not show yous up to prove your wrong? Have you not notice what your own supporters were going crazy about the attendances in one day saying how it is a world record and biggest crowd in spl when Celtic was even playing at home? Wait to hear a good response but that takes looking at boths sides of argument and not just whats good/right for one side but as always it's double standards for your club.
Agree5
Disagree5
That is because they only go to derby matches
Agree6

@babtbear. / griw up mate... he made a valid point . gers have been savaging the spl attendances of other teams of late. attendences are up tgis season. oh and by the way tannadice was at capacity. sold out. fact.
Agree6
Disagree8
6) I think the point being made by all Gers fans is that when the SPL vote was being considered fans of all other clubs stated they would boycott their own grounds if the chairmen voted Rangers back in.........now to my knowledge the chairmen (blindly it seems) listened to the fans and voted NO, their reward?? still half empty stadia, this is why points are being raised about attendances I think
Agree3
Disagree2
Alright Ed039 not at all mate. What I'm saying is we should be talking about the football as in bad decisions, good goals, bad tackles etc not the bloody attendances. My post about sports direct was....wait for it.... Banter! Of coarse ive shopped there from time to time (who doesnt like a bargain?)and I will continue to do so if I see something that I like but not those brands that I mentioned. Lol

The match being referred to was a play off match and so it is not counted by some as a regular league match.}

Well what a weekend, the faithful turned out in numbers, we are for sure going to take a week or two to settle down and get after playing football, however what about them fae the dark side, what a shower. Can anyone please explain why the dialog on the TV stated 3 minutes extra time and there saving grace goal was recorded as 49 minutes, sounds like Mr Thomson been working some Hogwarts sh*t me thinks, anyway they were p***h and that's that. {Ed001's Note - the added on time is a minimum amount, not a maximum.}

Reply to (1).
Eastsomethingshire - you should show some respect to the clubs in lower divisions rather than slag them off. You and the likes of you are the reason why Rangers and the rest of Scottish football will be much better off without the SPL (and the SPL would be better off without Celtic).

The Brazilian serie D (Brazilian 4th tier) is set up very differently from what we understand as a league format. There are 40 teams in it, divided into 8 regional groups of 5. After home and away matches (8 games) the top two clubs in each region go through to a home and away knockout competition. Arguably comparable to the SPL's break-up after 33 games.
ALL GAMES IN THE REMAINING TWO LEGGED AFFAIRS ARE STILL DEEMED AS SERIE D FIXTURES AS EVERYONE BAR THE SEMI-FINALISTS ARE NOT PROMOTED.
In the quarter-final tie Santa Cruz v Treze October 16th 2011 the attendance was 59,966. So it wasn't even a glamour final like they have in Wembley as some have suggested.
Much like the claims that you would be the first club to win all 4 domestic titles you were wrong on another "record" attempt.
But fair play to you, at least you are becoming more exotic, the first "new world record" you were claiming we only had to look as far as Dumbarton to debunk.
Keep trying guys, I hear Bocanegra is only 14 away from being "the player who took the most shies with a northeasterly breeze behind him."
How proud you will feel and congratulations in advance :)

Just to clear things up
The Money Collected in buckets at Ibrox on Saturday , was nothing to do with the Rangers fans fighting fund, although RFFF badges were on sale.
The Buckets held by ex-servicemen wearing their Old service Caps, was for an Andover based charity for injured Troops.
The Buckets with People with white tee-shirts on were for the Rangers Charity foundation - Charity No. SC033287

Is it really worth cheering a home win against East Stirling, who lose most of their matches in SFL3 anyway? This should be more like a pre-season training. I mean, the whole season should be like pre-season training, ready for the real games in a year or two's time.

Yes, considering for a time it looked like we wouldn't be playing any football this year. I for one will go to every home game and cheer {Ed039's Note - This is a point I have been trying to make, although midweek games are no good for me with my shifts so my bro will use my ticket)

There's regulations against that sort of thing and pricing AVERAGE across a period. It's also challengeable in the courts. If a team or any business losses revenue, straight to the court of session. No judge would let Green away with such a dastardly (but typically Rangers) act.
Lastly, it really is a nasty dirty little concept isn't it? I mean what kind of rotten individual would think that up, think that they are clever, and be deluded enough to think you'd get away with it?.............answer: obviously an ill educated Rankers fan!

in response to the guy who said, rangers win every leaugue they are in, aka the third division and up, and others who rsponded by saying we didnt win the champions league. two things, though its called the champions league, it isnt striclyma league.its a knock out competition. second the only reason we didnt win it, was because we didnt over spend enough, con the tax man etc. other wise we would have. therefore we exercised prudence, which we are currently being shot down for.not doing!! you cannot win with some people

don't know about you fello bears, but am getting increasingly p'd off with the dark side coming on slaggin us for winning saturdays game. WE didn't choose to be in this league, we can only keep winning and get promotion, up the ladder. The difference for me at the weekend = Rangers beat a team we were expected to beat & scored 5 goals in the process. Celtic once again scored a last minute equaliser, against a team just promoted and who their support expected to beat handsomely. As for nelly's tantrum about players going through the motions, what do you expect// ina NOrmal season the loss of 2 points might have made the difference between winning & losing the league - this year & for the next 3/4 - it doesn't matter - nobody will be challenging at the end of February.
enjoy your boring title ghirls

Correction : You's did choose to be in that league, as a new football club, new company, new entity you had to apply to get into a league, alternatively you could have played non-league football, alas rules were bent, strings pulled to allow you into the Scottish 3rd division, the lowest, senior, professional league in the UK, much to the dismay and injustice to other clubs who were more entitled to entry into that league, clubs such as Spartans FC and Cove Rangers FC

No more boring than playing with an spl side in the 4th tier of Scottish football against part timers if you don't walk it then it's an embarrassment but how is it different from Celtic walking the spl at least we get European football at end of it

Are you mad? You beat the worst team in Britain,who are part time,using pretty much a team full of internationals!To compare that to two SPL teams,one of which have not lost a league game in a year,is frankly ridiculous.

Good try Bill we know you tripped yourself up then come back with the old 'fishing' crap! Anyway maybe engage your brain before you post. Tam-sir maybe it annoys you but its true mate if we didn't win those games in hand then it would have been 21pts.

One of the billionaires about to invest in the club is Mike Ahsley. Sports direct have just secured the rights to sell Rangers replica strips etc (this is the reason JJB have been almost giving them away) The deal was signed last week and will be announced this week. The superstore at Ibrox will also become a Sportsdirect shop. Rangers will now take a % of sales unlike the JJB deal. Another good bit of business by the club and Mr Green ............. and before anyone asks, it's the same home strip!
