31 Aug 2012 23:44:46
Can you tell the dude who seen Barry Ferguson with Wullie McKay that John Viola is Barry's agent and good friend!!ood friend!!
Barry's not coming but Templeton has had media photos taken at Murray park. Good news

31 Aug 2012 23:43:26
Great for boca he will be defending against ronaldo and messi and other world class players great move for us he will be class when he comes back to us WATP! {Ed039's Note - Santander are in the Spanish second division)

Wrong mate. he will be playing in spanish 2nd div {Ed039's Note - That's what I said)

31 Aug 2012 23:41:13
Bigfoot away to Blackpool you would have thought there was enough donkeys there already!;-)

Good one matey.

31 Aug 2012 23:40:22
Just spoke with my brother fraser and he confirmed Barry ferguson is at inbox but it's only as a speaker at a charity dinner

Yes because he is a renowned orator, a speech maker in the Churchillian mould. Turn it up

OP, with all the players out and so few in, should that not have been outbox?

Carlos Bocanegra, who has left Rangers to go on loan to Racing Santander, has been talking about his move to Spain: "I really enjoy it here at Rangers, but this is mutually beneficial for both parties. I'm excited to get the opportunity to play in Spain, but I'm also excited it's only a loan because I get to come back.

"I enjoy it here, and I was lucky enough to be club captain. But that's football, these things happen. I've got to get on with it."


FAIR PLAY BIG MAN

Aye he'll be back to play in the lowest tiers of Scottish football.

"Will ye no come back again?!"

Good luck carlos i think we will miss your experience at the back

It was always asking too much to expect the captain of u.s.a. to play in the 3rd division. All the best to him for the season & hope to see him in a gers shirt next season

If you think the ( big man ) is coming back then you are a ( sap ).

31 Aug 2012 23:04:10
Well guys when you look at the signings,'if The two hearts boys sign for us, I would say Charles Green and his backers have done not to bad a job. It is definately 100 percent more than I expected. Well done Mr Green.

McGowan has knocked us back

He's got rid of everybody and bought in nobody, no offence meant to the professionalism of the players but this squad will be UTTERLY F#CT by this time next year.

Figaro

That's not greens fault though is it, if Hearts had let him talk to us Green had done his bit, unless the boys looking for an unrealistic contract, he must have met Hearts valuation.

Not looking good for rangers to sign any1 cmon tae f**k rangers

31 Aug 2012 22:48:18
SSN are p%sh.
Ten minutes ago Macgowan and Templeton having medicals,now only Templeton.
Quite glad really he looks sh£te.Rather keep Wallace.

Wallace a left-back, McGowan a right-back

What you on about mcgowan is a right back not a left back and can also play centre mid so shhh you dot have a clue

He can play either side at full back and as a holding midfielder.
The big Greek fella is better going forward from right back than him. We also have Ross Perry and Darren Cole,so Macgowan would have been cover for Wallace or played at left back and we'd probably have shipped Wallace out in January. Probably why he knocked us back,not gauranteed a game.
Like i said rather have Wallace.
P.O.B.

To the the Shhh guy have you heard of player profiles? Try looking them up.
You also don't know much about our team.
Lee Wallace was out last week and the only cover we had was the big greek who is right sided and had to play out of position. Shhhmuck!
P.O.B.

31 Aug 2012 22:41:31
An hour and a half to go.
To all the doomsday scenario posters on here get it right up ye's!
Templeton and Macgowan undergoing medicals. Also says a lot about our club's relationship with Hearts.
Another two fingers to the darkside fans on here spouting nonsense about football debts and how nobody will deal with us.
To the Rangers fans slating Ally and the chairman suck it up.
It's great being a Bear! Some of you don't know what being a trueblue is!
P.O.B.

I'm taking it the transfer fee will be paid, upfront, in full.
Romanov won't get his fingers burnt twice.

@1. obviously the truth means nothing to you does it? the last of the money for wallace not due to be paid til next year...mark

31 Aug 2012 22:20:48
Jiggy must be new Gers captain surely!! What u reckon bears ??
Skiparassie

31 Aug 2012 22:18:34
Is it TRUE if your a free agent U can sign after the transfer date {Ed039's Note - Not with a registration embargo in place)

31 Aug 2012 22:16:03
derek ferguson on asked if barry was going back to rangers said no comment you will need to ask barry that!! he's coming home!! bbc west radio.

31 Aug 2012 22:14:18
who's going to play at centre back now

31 Aug 2012 21:40:17
red tape sfl rules .scuppering any last minute deals too many older players registered over 21,s

31 Aug 2012 21:32:53
I see the larsson rumours dried up pretty damn quick don't think he was ever in Scotland tbh

31 Aug 2012 21:28:47
Cant believe we even got templeton to a medical i take back my words i said earlier yes i am a fud.
craig+babybear

31 Aug 2012 20:43:00
this deadline day is fast becoming `GROUNDHOG DAY`methinks

Mind rangers have till 12 to sign players an extra hour

Tell me about it got that seemingly familiar feel to it,I'm aware it's a banter page but some of the names being thrown abt are to stupid to give the team of day to,Owen,Hutton,novo it's pure stupidity give it a rest.

31 Aug 2012 21:21:10
Disapointed ally gets us all worked up and then we dont sign anyone

Like how he got yous all worked up about knowing the names of the pannel which led to them put in hiding and ally doesn't even get a slap on the wrist? That worked up?

31 Aug 2012 21:03:18
STVSport: Hearts winger David Templeton has arrived at Rangers' training ground Murray Park for signing talks.
AJM.

31 Aug 2012 20:06:39
hey troops i'm lovin this! This is truly a rumours page again its been a bad year but this is what its all about bad rumours good rumours and unbelievable rumours

All part of the fun!!

Ticketus are wanting their money.
No rumour. Fact

Such a bad year that erm Rangers were liquidated!

2) Fact! Please present your facts explaining why you made this assertion, you must have evidence which nails them bang to rights for being involved. If not , shut it.

@ 3 when we're Rangers liquidated, you got a time machine or something, or perhaps an addiction to hallucinogenic mushrooms.

31 Aug 2012 18:41:56
We have no chance of signing anybody that involves a fee

No one would lend us the bus fare home, unless Green has the readies there can be no deal involving a fee.

31 Aug 2012 18:28:51
Looks like the Michael Fink deal could still come off.
Everything has been agreed at boardroom level - it's now up to Ali...............

31 Aug 2012 18:00:09
Whats the point of Celtic signing anyone, the've got more than enough to beat all the dross left in the spl yet wouldn't be ale to attract players of a calibre to make any difference in Europe
Kishmel

Obviously talking from experience.

The point would be to rub our noses in it obviously. I mean we would if we could, wouldn't we.

...don't care

BB

To rotate players between CL games to keep them fresh.

Well rangers done exactly that for years

What is wrong with you ppl? Your saying Celtic is only signing ppl to have a go at yous? How pathetic and sad,and this proves how obsess yous are with them, Celtic signing ppl in a transfer window never happens right just like it never happens at another team, for all clubs just sign ppl to have a go at a club. Do you not see how yous think? And you think you can make it back up to the top eh, for if you lose it's Celtic's fault as well and when it rains it there fault again. Ed can you help these ppl, they seem to listen to you so put them straight .

6, That poster (no 2) possibly wasn't a Ger, but regardless, it's you who's the plum for revealing that you think we're aw like that. Think you'll find we're a pretty diverse group. This site is full of tims on the wind up but also some pretty lively debate from within the true blue support, not everyone agreeing but each of us passionate about our club.

Can I ask you, if you are so despairing of us, why are you even here?

31 Aug 2012 17:37:49
Stella has signed

Hope not, his profile looks garbage.

Who's gonna run the rovers return?

What about grolsh and bud

Stella is finished mate, it's 9 o'clock, I'm on to the vodka and ching now.

31 Aug 2012 16:27:11
I seem to remember that the original transfer embargo stated that we could not sign anybody over 18. Does anybody know if the agreed embargo also allows 18 year olds to sign, or is it no signings at all? {Ed039's Note - Players must be under 18 years of age to sign during the embargo)

31 Aug 2012 14:52:45
Does anyone know if we are still paying wages to the players that have left but are still registered to us? {Ed039's Note - No not a penny)

Of course not they don't turn up to work, I wouldn't get paid if I just stopped turning up.

No they did not ,their work shut down and they had to get another job, Nothing to do with the new club

#2 - If that were the case, the other players would not have TUPE'd across...

31 Aug 2012 12:38:57
heart looking for combined fee of 1.3 millon for mgowan and templeton work out 750k each if i was ally mccoist at be banging at greens door and get him to sign these players

That would be £650k each

Mikey Bhoy

1.3 millon to hearts, then agent fees, then signing on fees, do you want the club back in administration? We shouldn't be spending that kind of money to win the 3rd and 2nd division, better manager and we would romp these league's.

750, 000 each makes 1.3 million. You probably work in a bank given the state our economy is in. Back to schools for u ma friends

Sorry dude but that works out at 650k each! D'oh

Bluegenius!

Someone's not very good at Maths...

750k each works out 1.5 million. carol vordean eat ur heart out {ed039's note - {Ed039's Note - Who is this Carol Vordean signing for today?)

Ed dont talk to soon that idiot ally might get ideas

31 Aug 2012 13:02:48
When are you all going to wake up
and smell the coffee, there will be
no signings at Ibrox today. Green is
taking a leaf out of Whyte's book
and bidding low for players knowing
fine well he has no chance of
getting them. Then he will come out
after the deadline and say we tried
our best but we were being held to
ransom. Seen it all before Green
is no better than Whyte and now
he has over 35,000 season ticket
money in his back hipper and
laughing at us on the quiet.

We will see at 11pm mate so shhh for now

Methinks you could be right,mid afternoon and nowt as usual

Sfl deadline is 12 pm

@3: so it's been and gone then?

@3: 12pm was midday!

31 Aug 2012 12:39:43
Guys get real. There will be no signings today. Have you learned nothing in the last couple of years?

Shut up you idiot we have signed 7 players ths season

Number 1 we may have signed 7 but we've lost 26.

Brought in on free transfers is more accurate

31 Aug 2012 12:21:53
time is ticking and no action thus far have a feeling alot of fellow bears will be as disappointed as me come the deadline

azzarfc

I do sincerely hope I am wrong would love to see Templeton pull on a gers top thought he had moments of magic last night

31 Aug 2012 10:45:57
one of the papers reporting that rangers are facing some red tape of signing some players......

sfl rules state that you cant register anymore that 22 players over the age of 21. they are also reporting that naismith, whittaker, mcgregor and lafferty are still, even though moved on, registered with the club?? how can this be?? how can they have signed with other clubs but still be registered with us??

G. {Ed039's Note - Their transfers are being disputed and they have all benn granted temporary registrations with their respective new clubs)

If they are still registered with us does that mean they are still receiving wages from us?

Green wants to drop the cases cause he will not get a penny for them anyway so if any1 to blame for lack of players in its him

Green's complaining about the situation yet it appears to be one he's caused by disputing the transfers.

Also suggests we are the same club as we were when they played for us.
Just thought i'd mention that small point!
P.O.B.

Wouldnt you dispute the transfers! Rangers are entitled to money for these guys end of. oh to the tims out there ..... the phrase sporting integrity only applies when is serves to kick the gers, steal their prize money, blackmail impose an illegal transfer embargo! rotten to the core that lot! LB

It's really obvious that Charlie boy has'nt
got a clue about any of the football rules.
And for that matter does anyone a ibrox

@4: no, Green's determination to prove they had to TUPE has caused this.

No one except Chuckie and the rabid Leggetts think they owe anything to New clud

@7. What has T.U.P.E. got to do with a football club.
Employees move from one company to another all the tme. Transfer of undertakings means a continuation of your contract with same terms and conditions. I guess you've just backed up my point although you didn't realise it.
P.O.B.

@9: en, no, not exactly. I'll refer back to the Rangers fan last week who was a debenture holder and asked why he no longer had his seat if it was the same club.

So what has T.U.P.E. got to do with debenture holders? lol
P.O.B.

31 Aug 2012 09:12:28
Yes i am a rangers fan and know ill get pelters for this but good luck to celti (not to much mind you) in the champions league wish we were there its not all about trawling the other side web pages making snide remarks and well done my own team last night i see people are on about the crowd well 27000 for league cup tie on a thursday night i thought it was healthy hope we get some good signings in today get the team settled down and begin the climb back up im realy enjoying this adventure so lets get brhind the team i know there has been some poor away games but give them a break it will come good we will get back up mon the gers. :::: cooperboy

After all the dogs abuse we've had from some of their fans on here, you want to wish them well in the champions league?
Sorry but thats one wish i hope they don't get granted. Six defeats will suit us just fine.

Well done Cooper boy a good post let's get our team back where we belong and also respect others
Bobby

We will settle down over the next few weeks and things will click into place, of that i'm pretty sure. As for Celtic, they are our footballing nemesis and i certainly don't want them winning anything, for purely football reasons. Most Celtic fans would probably feel the same if the situations were reversed.

6 defeats 12 to 15 million in the pot,it is a win win situation,sorry to disapoint you,BIG T.

5defeats in 41 champs league at home,away record shocking,but improving!!!whats your lots record?

@4. You enjoy the money, we'll enjoy the defeats.

@6: but you'd love the money...

30 Aug 2012 19:21:00
(Ed039s Note - message for stuarty boy pc loyal - stuarty if it's the same guy then his son is my best mate, do you know him from carntyne or srathaven? If you see him then tell him the edtor from the Rangers site said his dad (Big Ian is my old boy) still has a better free kick than him, my dad played wi Higgy and prob temps dad for pretty much every pub team in shettleston and for shettleston and vale of Clyde juniors. I know temps and went to school wi his brother alan but not getting any inside info i am afraid. Small world)

31 Aug 2012 01:02:44
where is danny wilson playing now? {Ed039's Note - Liverpool reserves, went on loan to Blackpool end of last season)

31 Aug 2012 00:43:23
I know that you lot are obsessed with attendances so here's one for you .....26000 at the asbestos arena tonight! What's happening? Has the novelty wore off already?

Briggs

Hi briggsy im sure i saw you tonight standing in the car park of school across from mainstand in edmiston drive with binoculars counting the fans going in ,was it you ? if it was my advice is to stay out of burger king lol lol mail mail please doug t.s.o

Thursday night early round of the cuo game thats not on your season ticket! Put the rod away!

Here we go, "only 26,000" last night. Why o why do you lot care what goes on at Ibrox. Let's see how much you mahnks pull in on a Wednesday night against Ross county. Won't be much bigger. Of course a CL game will always pull a big crowd even in the piggery, you mahnks watched us do that for years. So nothing new there. So only work what you do. We will see what size crowd you pull on your last CL game when won 0, drawn 0 and no European football after Xmas. The worlds largest open air toilet will have plenty seats free. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Xx.

Well im a st holder but was unfortunately doing something called work, i go to nearly all games but as im self employed cant really knock back work during the week , hope that clears that up , mind u couldnt fill ph on a cl night so .............
craig+babybear

No sir the SPL & SFA are obsessed with attendances trying to glorify the game due to the massive revenue lost with Rangers Absence, We just simply find it funny use cant fill ur stadium the one season u actually have a clear cut chance of taking scottish football by the horns! Were a Newco starting from the bottom why are we expected tp have such high attendances especially in the early stages pf the cup.

Larky Bear

Pay at gate not bad for this stage,fool

Non event cup game. Similar attendances to last season. Why don't u do us all a favour and admit you cannot live without rangers? All u lot do is talk about us, is your own little club so bad? Are u unable to get a life? I really do pity you........

I'm afraid it wasn't me Doug I was still hungover from Wednesday night after getting home at 4am! Anyway have a look at your own crowd when you talk about xxxxl size supporters!

Briggs {Ed039's Note - Was that you swigging Buckie on the corner of hope street asking for 10p for a cuppa Briggs)

Hey come on Ed, you know fine well that's ally's patch! Lol

Briggs {Ed039's Note - lol)

@7 Your having a laf there 'little club' eh!
We are at the top table and where are you
lot.Don't need to reply cos we all know where

30 Aug 2012 22:50:48
if we can bring in players on mass (pardon pun) how come we didn't make the Subbuteo contract deadline on time?

30 Aug 2012 23:00:36
Been a lot of talk of late regarding attendances, with the champions attendance last night of 51,000 belittled. and getting a slagging! Newco vs Falkirk Att: 26,450..........oh dear!

Gate receipts are shared. Some fans did not want to give Falkirk money!

@1: so it's more important to deprive other clubs than support your own? Pathetic excuse.

Talk about cutting off yet nose....

30 Aug 2012 22:35:04
well done the gers tonight, big improvement, good to see shiels back, little another good shift, big jig should have 20+ goals for end of season, faure and the greek did ok, greek got himself up and down wing, wee mckay cracking player, get him on a long term contract asap

cass

30 Aug 2012 22:19:45
McCoist given a three game ban, suspended for one year, by SFA. A very light sentence for a very serious incident.
Obviously the SFA didn't want him away from the next three games, which he has to take the full responsibility for.

Green was given a censure for his 'bigotted' claims. Again viewed as very light.

Did he ask for the SFA panels names again

30 Aug 2012 22:05:43
Good result from the gers tonight a very good performance just a shame about the attendance bit still cant complain its a thur nite full crowd sunday.
Darren watp

Walking away?? let's blame it on a Thursday night!

Very poor attendance the league cup is never a in demand game but its ten times bigger than your league

Thot crowd wud hav been bigger. Was pay at gate avail? LB

'very good performance'..were you at the same game as me? Good result but poor performance. Very little movement, defence not playing as a unit and all over the place, and international players like bocanegra looked like they had completely forgotten how to kick a ball! Needs to get much better or we'll get a doing if we meet Celtic in the cups.

30 Aug 2012 21:55:37
An average performance tonite, we
gave the ball away far to easy. I think
we will get better - but that creative
spark is missing and far to many long
balls

How was the creative spark missing?
Fair enough the back was shaky but i seen lots of creativity and a lot more ground level passes.
I reckon another 2-3 in and this team could win the spl shame were not in it.

30 Aug 2012 21:37:26
Bring back davie weir

Defo ..... He had a big influence
On the team, even not playin. A tru pro and a decent guy. Kinda person we want about our club, unlike that Dior lout. LB

Is that Christian number 2. Kinda liked his style.

30 Aug 2012 21:30:18
watch game online tonite barry mckay does remind me very much of ian durrant ,looks a player

Remind you of Durrant( Need to lay off the drink mate!) McKay is ok for third division but not sure he will even shine in 3rd Division. Last few games he was shocking looks like a wee boy in an adult league. You might say he is still only young but have seen much better younger players than him and unfortunately this was across the poorer side of Glasgow....

30 Aug 2012 21:15:17
Why are you not at the game ? The ground looks half empty .

Paddy Malarkey

30 Aug 2012 20:50:56
Rumour that Charles and Ally will be hammered tomorrow at their respective SFA disciplinary committee summons'.

On another note, when Charles was trying to get our new club into the SPL. The club being managed by D&P was still in the SPL as The Rangers FC Plc incorporated 1899, this club had a vote within the SPL and voted to allow our new club into SPL.

So guess there was two clubs at the same time!

Don't get club and company confused.
D&P were in control of a football club which was in the SPL (pending liquidation) and therefore had a vote.
Green was in control of a company that had bought a football stadium and wanted to form a new club and gain entry into the SPL.
There were never two clubs.
