    Rangers been the better team so far in the second half. Although McCulloch should have been off a minute ago for that elbow

    Has McCall actually managed to win a game against you guys since he took over Motherwell? Going to be a fantastic result if it stays like this.

    Just to dispel the 'agent McCall' talk I've been seeing from other Celtic fans, Motherwell haven't beat us since 2002, 1997 at Ibrox

    Great result for Rangers, anyone know when the draw for the next round is?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,340 ✭✭✭TheBuilder


    Delighted.

    Ah yes, all starting with Agent McCleish and continued by agents Terry Butcher and Billy Davies (among others), it all makes sense now :p.

    Think they're for the Montrose game

    Rangers gave 200 tickets to ex season tickets who have fallen on harder times nothing wrong with that and your right Lubo it was for the Montrose game last Sunday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,085 ✭✭✭✭A Dub in Glasgo


    This is an embarrassing result for Motherwell FC, their fans and in particular McCall considering the amount of fawning he did about McCoist and Rangers with the media today

    I think both players would have got booked you can clearly see the Motherwell player using his arm as well though McCulloch needs to chuck it with the arm throwing does it to often for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,623 ✭✭✭lubo_moravcik


    A great 3 points for you lot tonight

    I think he's had too many knocks to the elbow

    McCulloch has always been known as McElbows and curiously has generally got away with it... Go figure that one out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,704 ✭✭✭Broxi_Bear_Eire

    I know what he has always been called no idea why he has got away with it for us or Wigan or Motherwell ;)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Ah ok, thanks.

    Kerrydale Street:
    That is beyond a joke. Serious questions need to be asked of McCall with the constant rolling over against the ****. It's not far off match fixing. I don't care if that sounds over the top, it can't be incompetence, it happens every single time. Corrupt *** bastard. I'd love us to dish out a record score against this scumbag on Saturday. If I was a Motherwell fan this would be unforgivable for me. He should be effing chased.

    :pac:

    Not so good for Sandaza

    http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/2313-sandaza-faces-lay-off

    RANGERS expect to be without Fran Sandaza for the rest of 2012 after it was confirmed he has broken his cheekbone.

    The former Dundee United and St Johnstone striker was taken off in the first half of last night’s 2-0 win over Motherwell after a clash of heads with Shaun Hutchinson.
    Away defender Hutchinson was able to play on but only after repeatedly needing treatment on a wound which bled heavily.
    Sandaza wasn’t as fortunate and he was taken to hospital yesterday for a full assessment, with Gers’ worst fears now being realised.
    After he was kept in overnight, the 27-year-old was operated on this morning and he had a plate inserted in his head as part of the procedure.
    Spaniard Sandaza now faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines and the minimum amount of time such injuries keep a player out is eight weeks.
    More realistically, however, it is anticipated he will miss the rest of the calendar year as he sets out on the long road to recovery.
    Losing Sandaza is a further blow to manager Ally McCoist, who has seen his attacking options lessen in recent weeks.
    David Templeton is another long-term absentee after he hurt his ankle ligaments at Annan in the 0-0 draw with them at Galabank on September 15.
    Kevin Kyle has been missing recently as he has served a two-match ban for his red card against Queen of the South in the Ramsdens Cup too.
    But he is now free from suspension at least while Andy Little won’t be far behind him as he is set to be cleared to play again following a foot injury within a fortnight.
    Ahead of Saturday’s Scottish Cup trip to Forres Mechanics, boss McCoist is hopeful Ian Black will be fit to play after he missed the League Cup tie with the Steelmen.
    But Sandaza’s absence leaves Lee McCulloch as the only striker in his pool who has played enough over the last few weeks to be considered to be a full match fitness.
    In the short-term, that means the likes of Kal Naismith and under-20 forward Calum Gallagher could be amongst those who come into the reckoning for first XI selection.

    The bold Chico getting familiar with the Nordies :)
    Statement from R.T.I.D. NI

    As you are aware R.T.I.D.N.I invited Rangers F.C - C.E.O Charles Green over to Northern Ireland for a meeting with ourselves and Supporters Clubs to meet with the support.
    Supporting Charles Green in his visit were Imran Ahmed and 2 other invited guests.

    First thing on the Agenda was a short meeting with ourselves as a group which included myself, Gary Lenaghan, Jim Wilson and Trevor Maxwell.
    Charles thanked us for the outstanding work that we had undertaken in helping to raise funds for the fighting fund.

    We then moved Charles and guests to lunch with Senior representatives of Linfield F.C, which included discussions for a return match between Rangers and Linfield at Ibrox.
    In attendance were Rangers Reps, Linfield Reps, and R.T.I.D.N.I Reps, Myself, Gary Lenagahan, Jim Wilson, Graeme Barr, Mark Rice and Trevor Maxwell.
    A number of dates have been mooted and will be given out after further discussions.


    A meeting was then planned in Castle Buildings with First Minister Of Northern Ireland Peter Robinson.
    In attendance at an introductory meeting with The First Minister were Charles Green and guests, R.T.I.D.N.I Committee members, Myself, Gary Lenaghan, Jim Wilson and Sammy Douglas.
    The purpose of this meeting was to explain to The First Minister, the disgraceful way that Politicians in Scotland have shown absolutely NO support for Rangers Football Club.
    The words that Mr Green used were "If it was a Pie company going bust with the loss of Revenue to the local Economy and Job losses, Scottish M.Ps and Government Ministers would be bending over backwards to help"
    Political backing for investment i.e Shops in Northern Ireland was also brought to the table and discussed,and after a lenghty discussion programme Mr Green informed us that he was extremely happy with the meeting and had found it very productive.

    Mr Green and Peter Robinson then gave interviews to U.T.V Live.

    Next stop was to to Stormont buildings where Mr Green and ourselves had a meeting with Ulster Unionist Party Leader Mike Nesbitt and M.L.A Danny Kennedy.
    This was also a very Productive meeting.

    R.T.I.D.N.I and guests then headed to The Hilton, Templepatrick to meet other Reps from Rangers Clubs throughout Northern Ireland.
    After thanking everyone for attending, I explained our future plans for R.T.I.D.N.I.
    This included getting ALL Clubs, Fan Groups and Fans in Northern Ireland to work together for a N.A.R.S.A type Convention in Northern Ireland.

    First thing on the Agenda after introductions and thanks for Support etc, was for Mr Green and Imran to give a Presentation on current affairs at the Club and their outlook for the future.
    Everyone was in agreement that our Clubs future was looking extremely good with plans of Hotels, Cancer Centre, New Shop, New Ticket office and renovations to Edmiston Club along with Football Academies in America, Asia and widespread Global Marketing.



    A few key points where made by Charles Green before a Q&A, which had to be shortened due to time.

    Key Points

    1: Charles Green stated quite categorically that although it was not ALL Clubs in the S.P.L that he had a problem with, his main problem was with The Leadership and running of the S.P.L.
    He said the Agenda from the S.P.L against Rangers F.C and their fans and their constant attacks upon our Club will not be forgotten.
    He then stated that whilst things are the way they are, the onslaught continues AND as long as he is C.E.O of Rangers F.C, Rangers will NEVER play in the S.P.L again.
    This was met with a round of applause from the Audience.

    2:Charles then brought up the question of Rangers Shares.
    He explained that Rangers Shares will ONLY be available Direct from Rangers F.C.
    They will be sold at first to Rangers Fans and Rangers Fans only, as in Season Ticket Holders registered Supporters Clubs and Members of the Rangers Family.
    No other option for buying shares will be available.

    A shortened Q&A then took place and was as follows.

    Q1: What is happening about the money that is owed to Rangers by the S.P.L etc ?
    C.G: "The S.P.L are refusing to hand what is due to Rangers and the fight against these disgraceful decisions was still ongoing"

    Q2: Would Rangers Consider putting a Team back into the N.I Milk Cup ?
    C.G: "This had already been raised by the Youth Team Coach and would definitely be looked at in the future"

    Q3: Would Rangers consider bringing out an Orange Top ?
    C.G: "Yes, they have a number of designs and are coming near agreement with Adidas"

    Q4: Will you continue with the fight against all Rangers enemies out there as you have been doing ?
    C.G: "Absolutely and with everything in my body, I wasnt a Rangers Supporter when I came here but I am Now"

    Q5: Would Rangers Consider flying the 4 Home Nations Flags alongside the Flags already above Ibrox ?
    C.G "I dont see why Not as the contribution and dedication of Rangers Fans throughout the U.K and the world is second to none and should be recognised"

    After a massive thanks to Mr Green from myself on behalf of the Committee, 6yr Old Rangers Season Ticket Holder Johua Wilson, made a Presentation of a Crystal Clock with the words, ''To Charles Green, from R.T.I.D.N.I.''
    Mr Green then stayed behind to sign Autographs and pose for photos before retiring to bed.

    We met up with Charles Green today, Fri 28th and took him into Belfast City Centre to look at a proposed building to open a New Rangers Store.
    Greg Mcafee had arranged a number of premises for Mr Green to look at and hopefully this will be concluded soon.

    We then run Mr Green and guests to the Airport and thanked them for visiting Northern Ireland.


    All in all we found Mr Green to be very honest and upfront and along with all the other Supporters thought his plans were excellent.

    Therefore on behalf of Myself and R.T.I.D.N.I We would like to give our FULL backing to Mr Green and his plans for Rangers F.C.

    WE Support fully, his stance with regards to the hatred towards our club and the Agenda by The S.P.L/S.F.A and fully back him every step of the way in his fight against the haters of Rangers F.C and their Fans.

    We also Support fully the plans on the way forward for Rangers F.C and we would urge ALL Fans, Fan Groups Clubs etc etc to Support The Share Scheme (I.P.O) which will be put forward by Rangers F.C. and to buy Shares when available.

    R.T.I.D.N.I has taken great steps and have worked tirelessly to get the Opportunity of actually getting a Rangers C.E.O to come to Northern Ireland, something that has never been done before by ANYBODY.
    Mr Green was so impressed that he has promised to visit us again, such is the connections that are there.

    I would like to thank Everyone involved, from Ourselves, Friends in Scotland, The Leaders of both Unionist Parties and eveyone who helped make this happen.

    We believe that Mr Green is the real deal and has the Full Backing of R.T.I.D.N.I and we would urge ALL fans to do the same.
    We would also urge ALL Northern Ireland Fans, Groups and Clubs to join with us to form a new gouping more representative of N.I. Rangers Fans to not only have a big say at Rangers, but to organise a good convention every year.

    Together We Are Better !!

    Thomas Mathers.
    Chairman
    R.T.I.D.N.

    Thought todays game was a strange affair. We bossed the game for 80 minutes but were woeful in the last third. It was another step in the learning curve for all the young boys who were playing and a win is always good. They have to stop being bullied so much tough but that will come with experience

    90 minutes and when I say the last third I meant of the park surely its not that difficult.
    It wasn't a third division game so if your going to slag someone get your facts right

    Good for you I would vote for the muddleboard or kerryfail street myself but hey ho its all about opinions ;)
