Who you backing L? Norman Tebbit "cricket test" type question.

You are right with your first sentence Laurence If you go through life , whether it be at work, or with the girls, or anything else worrying about being popular, what are you? I have always said, " be your own man, think for yourself, and believe in yourself". If you get ridiculed for your beliefs then tough. You are entitled to have your beliefs. Anyone who watches Westerns knows lynch mob mentality never works. I am no Rangers fan by any stretch, I was brought up in highly Catholic Lancashire by Irish nuns, I sang " Hail Glorious St. Patrick ", in assembly at school every morning. I was taught to detest protestants above all else. I just feel this Rangers business, has gone on long enough. It is not good for football in Scotland, It is not helping the top division, It is not helping Glasgow. I can't see how it is helping anybody. I think the sooner we get back to the status quo , the sooner Scotland can get a national team to be proud of. I can see that young men glory in a fallen giant, we all had a good laugh, but how long before we realise we have created a false set up. As Douglas Bader, told the Germans " Rules were made for fools, and the guidance of wise men ". Maybe the men are not wise, or they implemented the rules without guidance. I am not the oracle, I just say it as I see it. Don't know how to tell you this Laurence, but Rangers died, went out of business, the big L, kaput. There is no status quo to go back to, and who would want that back anyway? Most of us are relishing the moment and looking forward to something other than the past of sectarianism and outright cheating.

It is a disgrace that the Rangers had to play into the wind at the weekend, haven't they suffered enough?

Surely this is a dilemma and not a paradox, Laurence? Anyway, happy birthday when it comes.

Thanks for the reports RiG.

Disgraceful from the Tims, almost as bad as when they had that "Islam" banner at the Scottish Cup final.

Any updates from today v. Sunderland?

Not sure what the moral of this tale is.

20 years next year, any plans to mark the anniversary?

Anyone mind the last game at Huntly? Was a sad day.

A young Fraser Taylor third from left, front row.

Way to not take the bait CB.

Aye, twitter are a good side.

Not always! My mum, aunt and granny all attended Telford St in the 50s. Woman did attend apparently but not in the numbers we see now. Certainly wasnt a family activity like we see today either. There was a link to a clip on here a while back, a game at Telford Street in the 50s/60s, and there were surprisingly high numbers of wummin there. And a surprisingly low standard of football.

No offence, Charles, but there are so many faults in your reasoning, and again no offence, but maybe if you weren't so smug about the whole thing, you wouldn't alienate so many potential supporters.

No offence, but it sounds like you are organizing a Sunday school outing. We'll be holding hands to and from the game next, naughty step for an inadvertent fart.

Wasn't his last game for Aberdeen at Telford Street in 1986, for the centenary game?

Wish I hadn't clicked on that.

Just as well yer no driving then.

Sevco were not relegated, they are a new club for whom the rules were manipulated to ensure them a place in the SFL. Likewise they were not "banned" form playing in Europe--as a new entity they will have to wait three years to be eligible, as dictated by UEFA rules.

Sign of a good manager to bring young players through the ranks. Not sure if Butcher if it's really Butcher's thing, don't think he goes to youth games.

Don't forget the erse lickers.
