Rangers will play Marseille on 14 July at Ibrox. Hope is for one more big game.
28 May 2019 23:18:13
Rangers should never play Marseille again
End off
Tommy.
29 May 2019 08:18:22
Must be a clause in the deal for selling Alfredo.
29 May 2019 08:37:45
Are Marseille not meant be interested in Morelos.
29 May 2019 09:53:39
Why not?
29 May 2019 10:00:13
Agree Tommy, let’s cut ourselves off forever no matter how much we can make from this kind of game.
Time to get real and move on from past problem - anyone would think you carry a big chip on your shoulder.
29 May 2019 10:29:51
Why tommy?
29 May 2019 11:06:27
Where are all the pre season fixtures? I cannot see this? Or is this as factual as the blackburn friendly that some pages have quoted.
29 May 2019 11:09:00
Coz of all the match fixing allegations after we played them years ago. aye years and years ago. Get over it.
29 May 2019 12:24:08
Oh apologises, didn't realise only some are entitled to an opinion, anyway, Rangers were within touching distance of the champions league final when marseille bribed casks Moscow, after ska players said they were sick on the pitch at h/ time and lost 6 nil, Bernard Tapie the chairman was jailed for 3 years,
Sorry if I'm the only one who remembers
Tommy.
29 May 2019 12:26:24
Btw, just for talking sake, every one who critiqued my post seem to be the same who despise Dundee Utd, etc, " we will never forget "
Ring any bells? Or maybe only your opinion matters,
Tommy.
29 May 2019 12:49:48
I think everybody remembers, I’m sure the responses were more from the point of view of OMG - are you serious.
29 May 2019 13:18:38
I agree with Tommy. F*ck Marseille.
29 May 2019 13:20:36
Are you serious? So Dundee Utd should be hated forever, but I shouldn't mention marseille destroyed Rangers chances of winning the first ever Champions league?
How hypocritical does it get, btw I have been following Rangers for 50 years, being cheated out of the CL final was one of the worst times, you do know Rangers were undefeated and beat the English Premiership champions to qualify? Tell me please how I should despise Utd but not give an opinion on Marseille?
Tommy.
29 May 2019 13:38:35
Seems mate. Unless you are talking about Naismith, Utd etc you should shut up, and thanks for your reply,
Tommy.
29 May 2019 13:39:57
Fixtures not released yet, still looking at some alternatives but hopeful at least one more decent name at Ibrox. Marseille game and the possible other one is to generate money and back up in case Europe exit.
29 May 2019 13:40:35
Just as a pointer to some with selective memory, Rangers fans were also battered senseless in Marseille, maybe you can remember, as you seem to have a " we will never forget " attitude, but only to certain things
Tommy.
29 May 2019 13:43:56
I think everybody older than 30 will know that we beat leeds yes.
29 May 2019 14:03:15
Rangers fans pretty much get leathered all over the continent by heavy handed police esp the spanish. Does this mean we should never play a friendly with spaniah sides?
29 May 2019 14:12:44
Marseilles, the feeder club and the rats Naismith and Whittaker. Despise them all. Tommy is right. Apart from the match fixing, our fans were treated abysmally over there. They can jog on. It"s not as if there are no other teams to play. Totally agree Tommy.
29 May 2019 14:23:38
Better not mention aberdeen or celtic
BOOOOM.
29 May 2019 14:24:54
Tommy how can say " you didn't realise only some are entitled to an opinion" but yet end a post with "end of". Bit hypocritical mate. Anyway we all remember marseille cheating everyone, not just us but I don't remember them proclaiming their vile hate for our club the way dundee utd did👍.
29 May 2019 14:48:45
Thanks seeker, coldo, I ended my post, not yours, in my opinion Rangers should never play Marseille in a friendly, that's the end of my views, is that OK with you? . As you reply to every single post every day I suspect you will have see many posts with that ending?
It's my opinion mate. Meaning my mind won't be changed, were you in Marseille?
Btw Rangers fans are treated as target practice because of the Union flag and the Internet, soon as Rangers are drawn to play in a catholic country the social media gangsters are up all night
Tommy.
29 May 2019 15:03:56
Tommy,
You are entitled to your opinion as much as anyone else on here, everyone remembers, but there's no need to throw the toys out the pram if someone disagrees with you, that's what this site is all about.
End of/ f
Ger88.
29 May 2019 15:22:33
No tommy i don't see many posts that end "end of" and no your opinion is not ok with me, my choice to disagree. I fail to see why your hatred of marseille is comparable to others hatred of dundee utd. The last paragraph where you mention the union jack and rangers playing in a catholic country is just a ramble. What has that got to do with never playing marseille again? I understand the ill feeling towards them for cheating but they never tried to bury our club and laugh at us whilst doing it. And of course I reply to posts, that is the purpose of this site mate👍.
29 May 2019 15:41:20
Fair enough ger, , but the same people advocate boycotts and suchlike when it suits,
When I saw the first mention of Marseille I lost the plot, I won't forget having my head stitched, nor the bribes and everything else, just don't understand the attacks on me when the same people demand boycotts and never give other clubs a penny, and then defending a friendly against Marseille!
Tommy ( sorry Paul )
29 May 2019 15:49:51
Stop making Dundee Utd feel important by mentioning them and don’t say the words “they put us down” when talking about them either because “they” didn’t put us down. They were very vocal about it all at the time but are getting what they deserve now.
29 May 2019 16:40:51
Which is exactly why I call them the feeder club. And you just mentioned them yourself.
29 May 2019 16:57:59
Tommy Marseille got done for bribing a french team nothing to do with champions league.
29 May 2019 17:46:19
No they didn't, they were charged with many offences, not one French team, you don't get 3 years in papillon for bribing one team
Tommy oops.
29 May 2019 20:05:20
3 years in Papillion is by a country mile the best line I've seen on this site. And I would like to add as a Celtic fan I agree with you 100%.
29 May 2019 21:24:41
Tommy
I remember and I also remember they didn’t get caught with any match fixing in European games was on in the French league they were found guilty of.
So to say you were cheated out of the champs league final is BS and seriously you say you have been following rangers for 50years but acting like a little kid throwing your toys out of the pram it’s embarrassing.
29 May 2019 21:52:59
On another note regarding the Marseille friendly. is that not smack bang in the middle of the Europa League Qualifiers? Meaning we’ll be playing them then potentially someone from the far flung reaches of Europe 4 days later. I think the friendlies organised for before the qualifiers start would be sufficient rather than having this in between them but Gerrard and co know best obv so we’ll see how it pans out.
30 May 2019 08:34:07
Marseille were caught bribing French teams in French league. It was us fans who questioned the chance it happened in the CL. I do seem to remember something coming out about Moscow later, Allegations though nothing more can’t be sure though. For me if they cheated at home they certainly tried to cheat in Europe.
However that team is gone that manager is gone so perhaps time to move on.
Rangers were awesome in that tournament, it was a special season for Europe with a team who could only play 3 foreigners. A league with only the Champs of Europe allowed to enter. A proper Champs League. It bores me to tears now the current format, however Rangers not taking part for many years plays it part in that.
Here’s to Stevie G getting it right next season and bringing it all back.
