The Mantis

But not by themselves! The paper uses it to distinguish between them and Berwick. Also the paper refers to them as Rangers F.C. In the last line.

Good news, 1 more to the squad. Are we in double figures yet

Maybe on paper, but give me the Brazil teams of the 70s and 80s to watch anytime ahead of Spain Aye poor Yngwie's just a youngster I would maybe have agreed with him last year but I never actually thought you could get tired of watching a team passing it to death. Brazil 1970 was the benchmark for me. Attack all the time, just like ICT under Pele!

True, never really bothered me as much as Tyldesley but he was a walloper last night. The English media are unreal. They were seeded top in their group so you would expect them to reach the last 8. Yet the fuss that was made when they actually did was over the top, as if they had expected them NOT to qualify from a group including Ukraine and Sweden (mind you I thought they were lucky against both). So then they switch back to jingoistic mode which is just nauseating. Bad enough when it's Tyldesley on ITV but you really expect better from the BBC. And as for old Sir Bob Charlton ("if they beat Italy I think they'll win it"), this is one of English football's most respected statesmen. Almost felt sorry for the squad, not the most talented bunch ever, but they could do without the pressure. Oh well, saves us listening to tired old stereotypes about WW2 I suppose

Mind reading from your own personal perspective again, IHE? Can't understand why you do what you do whatever it is you do as a profession, when you could so easily make big bucks as God! Is God greedy?

Oh yes I forgot Ernie Hunt actually scored it

What about the Willie Carr free kick?

A short distance in miles, but years away in time.........

Dude, Joe, I can't see any way they would get into div 1. If the SPL kicks them out, their say in the matter is over. It's the member clubs of the SFL that have the next say. I'm sure it would be against the SFL constitution for a club to start anywhere but the bottom, unless somebody thought of this when the constitution was drawn up.

That's a fair shout Davie.

I'm fairly certain they were called The Rangers Football Club until quite recently, say 20 years ago. I'm even more certain they never had Glasgow in the name. The Registered Company marked as in Administration on the companies house Website is The Rangers Football Club PLC, so likely they were. But don't suppose you have to call yourself after the Registered Company.....likely had a rebranding exercise. Aye I know all that....... I was just trying to say that the 'Glasgow Rangers' thing is something used by the English media and sadly it has stuck. Here's a programme from the 60s on eBay, sorry don't know how to steal eBay images :tears: http://www.ebay.co.u...5#ht_500wt_1379

What was he buying, engine oil? Since you asked, it was 4 tyres. Cost the poor guy about £660

Thanks for the heads up Alex. I look forward to his baffled looks as the cry of 'duckman' rings out at a ground near me this season :lol:

I make no apologies for reHASHing this tweet from back in mid-May: "haha Snoball your a wind up merchant!! Couldn't sign for county be like goin from man city to rochdale! ;)" :lol:

I think the point he's making is it's further doing it South-North than the other way round, isn't it :lol: :lol:

Just bumped into TheMachine this morning at Costco

Think it was always going to be an away trip for us as the cabbagemen would get a home fixture for going up as champions. We got a home game in 2010 as champions but in 2004 they cocked it up and we were away to Livi. To this day I say we got Partick's fixtures......

Yeah good news if he can stay fit.

I'm fairly certain they were called The Rangers Football Club until quite recently, say 20 years ago. I'm even more certain they never had Glasgow in the name.

So we need somebody to fill Tokely's boots then.

Only need to find a legend to sponsor now! My money's on Ryan ........ Who was it last year again?

I agree with the Newco IHE

Vote no, ICT

Never seen such a load of sanctimonious crap as that C(o)unty thread BTW. It's a game of fitba FFS. One or two decent tackles and headers and they'll all be backtracking.

Not just that, I'm pretty sure he never went 'whining' to the media anyway. Everybody knows how it works. The reporter's looking for a story to fill a page so he rings Ross up. He puts enough words in his mouth and he agrees with some of them. Then he can write 'Tokes Blasts Tel!' Or 'Toke off Butcher!' or, er, OK you can tell I've never worked as a sub editor Look at that Oddquine, about 70 words :lol: :lol:
