Whilst it is true to say people from the club do read this site, and at times do comment, we are not an official communication channel. One of the board directors - who was a site member long before being a director - is inviting questions to his official club email address and saying he will answer or pose those to others. He has already answered some of the questions posed on here so far from kicking things into the long grass, I would say he is mowing that grass to try and make a smooth path ! As they say, dont look a gift horse in the mouth - especially when one of the complaints people have is a lack of communication !

I have just listened to the vile sectarian abuse directed at Steve Clarke last night at Ibrox. It's very clear from the volume that this was not just an isolated few but thousands. The Rangers have apologised and said that 'it's totally unacceptable and will be dealt with' Well, I am sorry but they have been saying that for years and the club preceded them for decades before that and nothing has been done domestically although UEFA, to their credit, have shown a little more backbone. Surely it's time now for deeds rather than words. In my view the appropriate and proportionate step would be to award last night's tie to Kilmarnock and warn the host club that any repeat will see them excluded from the competition for three seasons. That way, those in charge at Ibrox might just pay a little more than lip service to this appalling behaviour.

"And playing them is.............Not Ross County!"

Why should some people change their ways on this forum. Lets cheese off anybody who tries to bring about positives.

oh cone on Polo Chick I'm sure you didn't complain when he wore the blue and red

Just read Gerard's defence saying he thinks it should be sorted out in football in general? As far as I can see this is mainly a West of Scotland problem and is not only a football issue. However since Rangers has risen back to the premiership it does appear to be getting worse and worse. Rangers (and Celtic) are the problem and as far as I can see are just playing lip service to solving this issue as are the SFA and SPFL. Doesnt need a new OFBA but does need enforcement of existing legislation. Cant see anything changing fast sadly. Is it only me that prefered football when Rangers were in wilderness? Calmed this stuff down considerably

I feared the worst when Nathan started his run up in that slightly stuttering way - so many times when you see somebody do that, they miss or the goalie saves it. Fortunately it just managed to evade Fox's grasp but it was a close thing. What a night though! I made the decision to drive up from Perth on a February school night, with my daughter, at the last minute, thinking it was probably a mad escapade that would end in disappointment (especially as I was at the home match against Partick Thistle a couple of weeks ago which was diabolical). But sometimes you have to travel in hope and believe in the need to support your team. On that front, we spent the first half in the North Stand with the noisy crew, enjoying bolstering the atmosphere there, then switched to join other family members in the main stand for the second half. I'm pleased to report that although my horn and occasional chanting initially seemed to be received with suspicion and furrowed brows among the quieter residents of the main stand, by the end of the match we'd managed to get a bit of participation going over there as well. Terrific to see the commitment, effort and energy from the players and that they kept on going and in fact were more dominant the longer the game went on. And great to get the win, dump County out, and secure our place in the quarter finals. Safe to say, we were glad we'd made the effort!

Bus 1 full Now taking bookings for Bus 2 for Cup Game on 3rd Mar .

Definitely getting a ticket for the Connah away end!!!!!! Mon the leek munchers !!!!!

To be fair I think this is the only venue decision that could guarantee a crowd. The decision to invite non Scottish clubs has not been universally successful

It's about balance. Constant carping and negativity is tedious and very wearing but constant and uncritical 'happy clapping' is just about as bad and possibly more dangerous. I have been critical of poor communication in recent times but the new channel mentioned by Scotty is a very welcome development.

Or a winger with no final ball.

Connor Bell has just signed for South Shields after leaving Morton last month https://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/local/south-shields-boost-promotion-hopes-with-signing-of-ex-sunderland-and-inverness-striker-1-9609482

Agree. One of the very few advantages of being in the Championship is we don't have to suffer those knuckle dragging hoards, or the other lot for that matter.

Meeiiaaaooow ?

Very poor loser totally lacking in any class.

Email is sorted . Up and running . Myself on the other hand has a heed like a box of rockets after going a bit mental last night. Spoke to Yvonne CEO, and she ll be getting copied in to help me direct questions , requests etc. Usual service will resume the morn. What a game !!!! If Carlsberg made Scottish Cup replays.

That's typical SPFL fairness. Midway between Dingwall and North Wales.

Why do we even need stewards in the west? I only remember one pitch invasion from the west the day we won the league against StJ and got promotion to the prem. I've already put my suggestions on this site as to why the west should be open to standing supporters which you have read why switch to a different thread/email which is not in the public domain? Don't wish to be judgemental but are you kicking it into the long grass perhaps? What's wrong with publishing responses on this forum?

I have been bullied for years on here ? It still hurts but I try not to show it ? Vodka may be my only real friend ?
