just finnished watching the game, first half rank rotten second slightly better, but 3 more points is what matters. in my opinion ian black should be no where near this rangers team. i watched him putting a tackle in on one of annan players and it was a very nasty, he moans about his treatment which in fairness has been harsh at times but he is a card from being sent off in every game.
any game iv seen when he is absent we look more of a threat going forward i cant see what he brings to the young lads learning there trade

Does anyone think with the lead we have now ally should go all attack and play 4-3-3.

Most of the parks we have to play on is not for silky football its very diffucult to play on

We played at Hampden on Saturday and didnt play silky football its the system we are playing thats stifling our creative playes

You have to give credit to queens park when they came to ibrox in october they played very well against us

Thing is all the the 3rd division teams when playing against gers treat the game as if its their hampden and give 100 % but just watch their follow up results, must say it think stirling albion are the dirtiest team in scottish football theres 2 kinds of football, hard and am gonna cripple you doug t.s.o {The Ed039's Note - Unless you play Queens Park Doug, and then it is their Hampden)

Caught me out there ed, ok play the game at lesser hampden and i can watch it for free from my familys windows lol doug t.s.o

'When human life is at stake this kind of hatred seems sordid and little. Fans of both sides will never forget this disaster.'

Thoughts are with those affected by the Ibrox disaster on this day in 1971

Rest In Peace the 66 ~ Mrs E

Hear hear..........green jhedi

Was there Mrs E as a Celtic supporter, did not know what had happened till I got home.MY wee Mammy was crying, my thought's then were with those who died and their family's, still doe's. As the saying goe's there but for the grace of God. Rip the 66.
Tam

Well said Mrs E these tragedys put life into perspective

jacko

2} me too tam i was 15 , and knew nothing about it til i got home . my maw was in the street watching for me . communications in those days were primative , r.i.p. .. shammy

Condolences to the families of all those who died supporting their team on that day.
It doesn't matter to me what team they supported, it's better to have a passion in life than no passion at all.

RIP Rangers fans from 1971

Hail Hail
Chrisbhoy

Mrs E, GJ, Tam, Chrisbhoy, Shammy, and Jacko. I am sure the families involved will appreciate your kind words, I certainly do. I never met my uncle because of it and if my dad was not ill on the day and had gone to the game with his brother as usual I may never have been born (I was born just over a year later). It puts things clearly into perspective for me every time we visit his grave and highlights just how fragile life can be.

Brian

p.s. I tend not to pay much attention to the agree and disagree buttons but it is refreshing to see well over one hundred agrees and not a single disagree as I type this. Maybe there is hope for us all after all.

I moved to corby in northants the week after the game and got married, only heard 1 bad comment from anyone down there the rest of the english guys were a credit doug t.s.o

The words of Gisela Easton about her 15 yr old son are heartbreaking

Mrs E {The Ed039's Note - I seen this article last year. I was actually thinking about it when I seen the wreaths being laid at Ibrox and couldnt remember her name, poor woman)

I wasn't born when the tragedy happened but this poor woman's words are haunting...

Her family life would never be the same and not something she would ever get over. 15 yrs old, your life is only beginning. Mrs E

Looking forward to 2013 as it cannot be as bad as last year and would expect us to win division 3 by 30 points this season. Happy new year bears things are looking up!!

Power Ranger

Could win div 3 in next month, mathematically..... but that assumes no admin (-10 or -30 pts)....

Also would this not cripple attendances for remainder, and undermine tv audiences for games... does any one want to want meaningless games ?

This could hit share prices....

Lol,
how could it hit share price? Are you worried about the share price? if so get your money out now, while 20% profit. The share price should only be going in one direction- as long as club is on the up( and financial affairs are kept in check).

Remember, shares go up as well as down, only invest what you can afford to lose. Happy new year.

Surely a promotion would benefit share prices?

No1 - why might there be admin issues ? Do you know something ? {The Ed039's Note - Listen, Celtic supporters can harp on about administration all they want, it is not going to happen. The fans have turned out in numbers this year, there has been £22 million raised through a shair issue, how much does one think Rangers costs are as an SFL 3 side. It was quite funny, but it is actually boring now)

If your referring to my post about why there might be admin issues then I have to declare "I am not now, nor have I ever been a Celtic supporter". Proud to be a Jag. {The Ed039's Note - I am not saying you arent a Jag OK, but it seems that every person who is accused of being a Celtic supporter here turns out to be a Partick Thistle fan lol)

No 5 and ed 39 wait to you see, next thing theyl be maryhill juniors fans lol doug t.s.o
