Crackin night...despite the result. Well done to all those who organised it.

Thanks to Laura and Mairi for organising this, and thanks to all who attended. Great night, great craic, shame about the result.

They're away to Shakhter Karagandy the tuesday before us and the home leg is wednesday after us.

welcome aboard. you'll never leave now.

Same to you mate! I see that you have one time ICT player Tom Aldred in your ranks, thoughts on him as a player? He left us early into his loan deal after failing to settle North and thus hasn't given us a chance to see him properly asa player.Hi there Tom Aldred!! A monster of a player even Boro fans want him at the rivweside after Tuesdays cap1 cup clash and played well against Portsmouth too .I saw he had a nice assist for your late equaliser vs Pompey. He looked quite good on the highlights and if Middlesbrough really want him then that means he must be playing well! Good luck for the Cardiff game and for the season :)

What about all the people (particularly women) who haven't been battered due to having no Old Firm matches, which are renowned for huge spikes in violence? Is this question Rhetorical ? Do you really expect me to answer it, Or are you just showing your own views ? How am I supposed to know about violence to women, children or anybody else. I suggest you contact Glasgow home for battered wives or the Police. Lawrence, if you wonder why the "lynch mob" sometimes have a pop at you, this illustrates the reasons perfectly. You put a post on here and whilst you acknowledge it is not a popular view you provide no evidence to justify it. Then when someone responds with a valid reason why they think you are wrong and suggests you consider that point, you come sniping back with a "do you really expect me to answer it?" Well actually, I do. Renegade has provided evidence for his statement relating to a situation which is actually pretty well known. It is evidence which suggests that the longer the new club with the same old moronic support is kept away from the top flight of scottish football, the better it will be for the women of Glasgow. Of course you are entitled to air your views but please have the good grace to give some reasoned argument to support what you recognise to be an unpopular view. As I said before, whether some of us like it or not, the Rangers will be in the top division all too soon. It may not be as quick as you would like but it is arguably a lot quicker than it should have been. And it is not the wider footballing community which is keeping them out - they are being kept out because of the way they went about their business. They are lucky their assets were not split up and sold off to different parties. The new club has acquired a fully functioning infrastructure for way below market price whilst creditors of the old disgraced club are left with next to nothing. The Rangers are lucky to be in Division 2. To suggest the footballing community should somehow connive to bend the rules to allow them into the top flight at the expense of clubs who play by the rules is not only nonsense, it is offensive nonsense. I would respectfully suggest you either come up with some sound arguments to support your bizarre suggestion or withdraw it.

I suggest you contact Glasgow home for battered wives or the Police. It's a well known fact that violence in the West of Scotland skyrockets when the OF play each other, so much so that just last year (or possibly the end of the one before), Strathclyde Police said they would ban OF derbys if they could. There was even a study out the other day, that said when Celtic play any match, violent crime in Glasgow goes up 3%, while when The Rangers play it goes up 10%! Scottish society would be miles better with this repulsive double act.
