Speaking of straws that break the camels back Andrew Dickson of The Rangers is begging fans not to copy sories from their website and post them on other forums as The Ranges are losing revenue before of the lack of hits on their official site.
Surprised they have implemented a paywall yet.

Jesus Christ, are they asking for the empties back in the staff canteen so they can take them back to the shop too?

Charles Green was up in my neck of the woods this week rattling the charity box in the local Rangers Club. I didnt realise Comic Relief had started early.
To be fair - the charity foundation do raise money for the club.

Let me guess, he told a room of pissed up Bears some moonbeams about how they would be worth £500m in 5 years then had a pop at Celtic and they all lapped it up?

That seems to be the way every Q&A has gone with him.

I dunno cos i havent spoken to anyone who was there yet but i would imagine that would be the gist of it. To be fair when it was first mentioned that he was coming, the Rangers fans i spoke to about it were all a bit "WTF is he doing?!" about the concept of it!

I could have understod why Chuckles would have went on all these trips when he was trying to raise money for the club but the share issue was a couple of months ago and he is still travelling round the world.

It is quite funny that he is speaing about wages being 33% of turnover when he will make £720k this year.

Just a little reminder, if you dont see mastermind BBC 1 20.00 tonight sky + it I'm sure most will enjoy it ! ( even wee crofter )
How easy were most of the questions?

Who formed Celtic?
Who did Celtic beat in the European Cup in 1967?
Where was the 2003 UEFA Cup final held?
Who did Celtic sign from Feyenoord for £650k in 1997?

So McNamara and his players showed their true colours today. Unfortunately those colours are green, white and gold.

5674 turned out for the game of the day and they didnt leave disappointed(well partick might have 2-0 and you f***ed it up)

the ton started brightly and had the first chance but it was chris erskine who gave the jags the lead, kyle wilkie was caught out on the wing, the ball deflected off taggarts heel and erskine fired home. partick extended their lead just after the restart, a corner wasnt cleared properly and when the ball came back in craig was there to nod home.

morton of old would have crumbled at this point but bbmmh got them going and it was peter mcdonald who smashed in a free kick to make it 2-1 and, with 9 minutes left hugh ****** murray handled in the box, mcdonald fired home the penalty. it was to get worse for the former st m****n player moments later as he was sent off for the 2nd time at cappielow this season. morton pressed for the winner but it wouldnt come, draw was probably a fair result

I always said we should have opted for Steven Pressley

Yup, I knew Jackie would get them to lie down to Celtic.

Far too many Irish and Catholics in the Dundee United side today.

Very poor today, we need to pick up from this quickly as we have suddenly slipped back down to 9th not good enough

You're right, going 2 down the old Morton would have collapsed but what a difference Hardie made and coming back to draw 2-2 felt like a victory. Great atmosphere and that wee sh*t Murray getting sent off right in front of the Cowshed for the second time this season was karma after what he did to Stephen Stirling last game at Cappielow. Thought Michael Tidser was once again the best player on the park.
Let's see how Thistle get on with their games in hand, cant see them winning them all but the title race will go right to end. Definitely squeaky bum time.

3nd to 9th place is still tight and any of those teams could easily finish outside the top 6 come the split.

We should be 2nd and challenging you though. Not that we have some divine right, but we have the players to be a hell of a lot closer than we are.

Newcastle's Chairman Derek Llambias met with Rangers fans last night to discuss the renaming of Ibrox.

How odd

Mike Ashley is a shareholder in the holding company that owns the company that runs the club.

I assume Llambias is a employee of Ashley, so not that odd.

That makes it sound like he alone met with the fans. Rangers officials including Charles Green were there too.

Why not rename Ibrox to Chuckles of Light?

Odd that he'd use someone who is genuinally useless and disliked by fans at his own club to put a point over elsewhere

Sounds like the perfect guy to sit next to Charles Green, the simpleton from the dales.
