Ref "you are one sad little puppy" Tony
All you do is come on here when rangers win, you are never about when they get beat like all the time in europe you disappeared like snow off a dyke. You are the sad one with nothing better to do but try and get one over on the celtic fans. At least you get the opportunity to spout your rubbish on here, on gers site all you get is told to f off.
You boasted you were a season ticket holder why were you not at game today? too wet for you ha ha
People would take you more seriously if you were willing to debate sensibly and listen to other people's point of view but sadly like all gers fans you are blinkered to the truth. I saw your posts on blue order as you tried to ass lick back in with your own bears who despise you also. Mick the bhoy

And to add to above...as of tonight you do have a 10 point lead over Celtic which is a big psychological advantage. If rangers loss this lead (setting aside the tax case), can we expect to hear from Tony & GovanFR...this is where you will find out how good a manager you have !?

Ref Mick the Bhoy, Anthony is probably not a very clever individual, and is not a pleasure to wind up . Tony(Anthony) my post earlier bout your beloved gettin stripped of titles etc i'm only joking you can keep your plastic stars on your shirts.......Stevie

Tax.tax.tax..chum would you not turn a more than red shade of red if celtic one the spl by a point if rangers were deducted ten points?..i dont think any hoop would take pleasure in winning a tittle in that way

Its a sorry state of affairs when you rely off field affairs to give celtic a hand up the ladder.surely you cant trust your team to bring you glory then? you rely on other peoples mis fortune.we have a name for people like you in northern ireland

The original post does not refer to tax...is there a name for folk like you everywhere ?!

The original post does mention tax one moronic celtic fan thinks if rangers lose the tax case not only should they be deducted 10 points they should be striped of their 9 in a row titles

The celtic ed.i wud say a good few of the posters on this site would rather win the league on merit...would you claim the morale high ground if you won the league by default..i think yous would be gentleman enough to write it off surely {Ed002's Note - The Celtic Ed has not been available this weekend. He will no doubt continue to do the honorable thing. He will be making a return in the near future I am sure.}

the scottish league desperately needs a shake up ,why dont we do something radical to give our game a boost ,maybe start by getting rid of the totally unfair split and giving two points for a score draw,and maybe bonus point for scoring 2 or more goals,at least the whole of europe would be watching if only to see how it went at the moment our game is dead on its feet,ant ideas ed?and before everyone starts its easy to criticize but give us something constructive coz i dont thing the spl will prosper the way it is set up just now.fab1 {Ed001's Note - the split has to go, it makes a mockery of having a league at all in my opinion. I like the idea of 2 points for a score draw and bonus points for scoring lots of goals. I don't know if they would work, but it would certainly be worth a try, might stop the smaller teams looking to defend for 90min against Rangers and Chelsea. I also think there is a definite need to have more teams in the division and play each other less often.}

I also like the idea of the play-offs ! The split has to go ...

Celtic ed.a bear here.if sky tv were to insist on the old firm joining the epl..it would happen..simple fact is if sky told the epl it would pull the plug on sponsirship and the money that sky give them year in year out..the epl would collapse..how many teams in the epl pull a a crowd like rangers celtic?..would the wigans blackburns wolves survive without sky tv money? {Ed001's Note - no it wouldn't and no they won't. The English Premier League is the most watched league in the world. Sky only makes up a percentage of the income, more comes from worldwide TV rights. I do wish people would stop with this fantasy nonsense about Sky wanting the Old Firm in the English league and that forcing the league to accept them. It just doesn't work like that. The English leagues just don't need the Old Firm, but there are alternatives, one particular alternative being to resurrect the Royal League. The Royal League desperately needs clubs the size of the Old Firm to get it going, they do need the TV revenue the Old Firm could provide.}

If thats the case..i admit im wrong..i thought sky pulled the strings in the epl..respect to th ed.... {Ed001's Note - the problem is that they are paying top whack now, they aren't going to be able to pay more to introduce the Old Firm. So you would only have a very small number of clubs that would benefit from their introduction. Most of the rest would face having two more clubs with huge fan bases to compete with. It would be like turkeys voting for Christmas, especially now that you have the online streaming rights being sold, I believe, next season. I know Liverpool, for instance, expect to get more through that than they do from Sky.}

Personally I'd love to see a top tier of 18-20 clubs in Scotland. Unfortunately there are too many major problems:

1) Lack of clubs in Scotland.
2) Lack of clubs with the quality and worth seeing in a top division thus dragging the overall league quality down for neutral watching on TV.
3) Only two OF games a season, so OF fans and the clubs might not be so keen.
4) Only two OF games a season, so far less TV money.
5) That's not to mention other important derbies that drag in a decent bit of TV revenue albeit a fraction of OF games - Edinburgh, Aberdeen/Rangers, Celtic/Hearts etc.

However I'd be extremely keen on more promotion opportunities and increasing interest in relegation. First off it'd help make the league more competitive (top two are pretty much a given, bottom club is basically only likely to be of 2 or 3 teams). Second off it'd draw more attention to lesser clubs in the league.

E.g. have one automatic promotion/relegation, and two clubs playing playoffs with lower league sides with the end result a possibility of 3 teams promoted/relegated. I realise we shouldn't be comparing ourselves with England, but down there there's more than just who wins the league - the relegation battle has some significance as well. Up here it's pretty much irrelevant as there's only one club that can possibly go down and therefore come up and it's often determined weeks in advance of the final day of the season. It'd also give at least some credence to the current system of having a top/bottom 6 as it's rare that all of the bottom 6 can be realistically relegated.

Feck im sorry i asked that question ed,,hope i aint opened a can of worms here {Ed001's Note - naw, I am finding this interesting, there were some good points about the lack of quality of the lower teams I hadn't considered.}

I think and 18 team league should be considered. How can we prove we are worth investment when we give up on ourselves from the outset. I also think ALL clubs are pretty lax when dealing with their fan base. Ie Why aren't supporters registered with clubs? Why aren't big advertising campaigns initiated to bring people to the games. Identify your fans (know who they are) then do all you can to get more fans then encourage things like buses to and from games from town centre etc to scoop up fans. Give free hot drinks at game and so on. Not enough is being done and the complacency of the biz development people at most clubs is shocking and borders on incompetence in this regard. When more fans are there more income and its also a lot more attractive for sponsors. I am a lay person but it seems to me a little thought and investment in this area could bring huge rewards. Maybe then we could seriously consider the viability of a bigger league. One thing is for sure it cant be done in isolation all clubs should co-operate and share good ideas and initiatives.

Hey ed i think as well as the shame getting deducted 10 points they should be stripped of the titles they won since Sir David took over, in my opinion they were won frauduently,spending money they didn't have, Aberdeen would be awarded a few with the rest going to Celtic. Nine in a row would be void ,and one of their plastic stars would be taken from their shirt. Did something similar not happen in Italy recently with a club losing titles for past history?.........Stevie {Ed001's Note - totally different situation, you are clutching at straws there.}

You are one sad little puppy whats wrong m8 someone stole your tax man security blanket i think you are beginning to realise even if Rangers get put into administration and get 10 points deducted the league will still be beyond you

Tony

Dear dear dear..how low can a fan of the celtic football club fall...i do actually have a bit of sympathy for the celtic ed..how do you perservere with statements like that for so called celtic fans..wanting rangers stripped of 9 in a row..a dignified answer answer from the celtic ed when stating ...clutching at straws..respect to ed {Ed001's Note - I am not the Celtic ed! Just covering for the day.}

Lol tony...the 10 point deduction will be the least of your worries ! And, i've told you before..stop calling us after a motorway

Talking about ugly people on here and up pops tony.
if you go into administration you will lose a few players as well as 10 points.

Anthony , theres a pack of taxmen waiting for your fraudulent mob! Woof Woof...........Stevie

Think their gonna lose a few players regardless. CW already said theres a 10M black hole with the current wage bill and overheads. January will be interesting. The vultures are circling.

Mark67

Mr Dear dear dear , i could go out tomorrow and buy a flashy motor on tick and look good for a few months. Tick tock , the taxmans cummin.........Stevie

Aye big eck has said naismith is a done deal. at first ally was tring to play hardball but big eck took ally to the burger van. big eck said he got naismith but it cost him a lot more than he thought it would.

Tony there you go again , getting all exited , yes you are at this moment 10 points ahead of Celtic , but you seem to be forgetting that we have 2 games in hand ! win them and we are back to 4 points behind , what then happens if in November Rangers lose tax case and are hit with a £40m tax bill , are put into administration , are deducted 10 points (leaving Celtic 6 points clear) , then have to sell Jelavic , Davis , McGregor etc in January , Celtic will make £5m from Europe and buy a couple of players in January , this is all ifs , buts and maybe's , just like your assumptions that Rangers have the league tied up already , as i've said before Anthony it is time to end your life in denial , the Rangers garden is far from rosy , Mr Whyte is clearly out of his depth and has bitten off more than he can chew , lets wait till May before we get exited my man , who knows Celtic could be celebrating the treble ! Rangers wont !

Leave poor Anthony alone he's probably had his medication and sound asleep now...nite nite Anthony(Tony)......Stevie

Right guys scenario here for you if we drop points tomorrow how many of you will still be backing NL

Well bhouys looks like it could be all down to the tax man to pull you out of another hole

I will be backing m8 and big bomb scare samaras loovens ect.do you blame us...as long as celtic keep these people we have every chance of completing 10 in a row..i cant understnd fellow bears who would gloat if lennon was sacked.at least with lennon we no what to expect..i for one would not like to see the like of moyes turning up at parkhead

Rite bhouys.rangers fan here..you must keep the faith with lennon..give him at least another 6 years.....in lenny we trust..

I think some might be wanting Lennon for themselves...you do protest too much I think ? Is it the lure of the league cup or Europa football or maybe the way he just isn't a 'yes' man ?

Won't be down to the Tax man. It'll be Minty Moonbeams years of mismanagment we'll have to thank for taking your Club to the brink. Ironic, he got Knighted for shafting you lot, well deserved I might add.

Mark67

Your surely gona have to depend on some form of outside intervention..cause your football team sure cant cut it,,if we take our 10 point deduction now we will still be above you in the league..lol

And what is it your team can cut 'lol' ?

Everyone on the rangers page haha 4 in a row here we come keep up the good work lenney

I suppose you don't really have anything else to talk about...a wee suggestion, you could be keeping an eye on the Scottish Cup games :)

01 Oct 2011 17:23:30
Celtic ed, yous will be really grumpy now, ha ha ten point clear, yous celtic ed is hurtin, I posted earlier and yous never posted it ha ha, celtic ed cannae take banter off us bears 4 IAR easy, league over by November ha ha Fair Minded Bear {Ed001's Note - 007 isn't about today at all, I deleted the childish nonsense you posted not him.}

How will it be mathematically possible for the league to be over in November, can you explain ?

01 Oct 2011 16:57:49
10 points in front and Tesco don't even have their xmas puddings on sale yet! Ya dancer... nae doubt that'll be down to the ref's, eh?

Nine points in front ya muppet....Stevie

Had to LOL at the start of that there.

That's good uses are 10 points clear, league does nae finish the morra, it's may last time I checked ? Wonder how many bouncey bouncey cheques will be written by then

Come on you bhoys in green
Lenny

9 points? Mathematics isn't your strong point is it StevieBhoy? haw haw

Rangers 28 Celtic 18 28-18=10

10 points clear not 9

so whos the Muppet now

10 points unless you are taking Motherwell into the equation but i think you know as well as me that it will be down to the usual 2

You are 9 points in front ! Did they not teach basic maths at your school ?

I can tell you're not the most intelligent but 28-19=9 , you said you were 10 points in front. Big Muppet.........Stevie

OK, I'm not a Lennon fan, let's get that out of the road 1st... How many people here truly believe that Scottish AND now European ref's have it in for Celtic? Am I the ONLY guy who is fed up being fed this line? For those of you who slate this, will you still feel the same if we lose more ground in the league? Don't get me wrong, I don't mind too much about the Europa games. The cash is a bonus but the results are secondary, imo, to the SPL. I just wish he would stop with the "not our fault" cr*p and look at the teams failings and sort it!

Who do you think would replace Lennon then ?

So u think it was a penalty then

Glad you asked... I'm tempted to say the likes of Aitken or Mackay or Lambert but if it were a goer I would love to see Trapattoni. This was not ment to be a "who's best" thing. I just want a manager who is good at his job, not just a "hero" figure, fighting the injustice of the world, whilst at the same time f*cking up my club... just my opinion

Aitken! McKay! Get a grip

I still say we keep and support Lennon however he did have to go for whatever reason, David Moyes is the man for me..

You ay get a grip with Aitken and MacKay, what is your reasoning? Both have an apprenticeship in the game (vast in Aitkens case) more than can be said of Lennon before he came. Can you REALLY be so sure they would not do a better job!?! Moyes would be a fantastic appointment, but no chance of him for at least another 5 or 6 years

And yes, by the rules of the game, it was an easy pen to give. If Jelly had done that to Hooper a couple of weeks back you would have been jumping off your seat screaming...you guessed it, PENALTY!!

Dunno about 5/6 yrs for Moyes, he's done all he can at Everton...a fresh challenge maybe ?!
