‘We deserve better’ is one of those phrases which sounds reasonable at first pass but does not stand up to scrutiny.
Fans deserve honesty, good governance and a safe environment to watch football, but do you think any team’s fans deserve on-field success? No. And if there is one club out there where this mantra holds true, they don’t train at Murray Park.
Football success is not a right, conferred by the aggregate number of season tickets bought, divisions played in, or successful campaigns to unseat investors completed. You buy a ticket to be entertained and watch your football team. This act does not come with an implicit understanding of what the outcome of any individual match will be, or an entire season’s undertakings.
It is narcissistic nonsense to think you deserve football success.
‘We deserve to watch our team win, lose and draw.’ This isn’t likely to replace ‘A club like no other’ on your season ticket, but it is the ultimate truism in football and we should all hear it occasionally.
‘We deserve frankness, in times of success and failure.’
‘We deserve to know there is no way to bridge the ‘gap’.’
‘We deserve to be told the old ways are gone forever and there is nothing anyone can do about it.’
‘We deserve to know if we put the club in the hands of a charlatan.’
‘We deserve to know that many of us will never see the league title go to Ibrox in our lifetime.’
You will never see these phrases on a bedspread at the gates to Murray Park, but the day will come when they are acknowledged truths.

Update from Mary (Shay’s Mum)
“Hello, Shay is a lot better. Behaved all day and just as he has fell asleep there his oxygen and heart rate are dipping a wee bit. They are just monitoring him tho. Hoping if he has a good night tonight he will maybe get home ”
They are meant to be going on holiday on Monday, so fingers crossed for them

Got a fright there. Saw sign, Hummel and thought Mats Hummels was Ibrox bound. Bayern centre half to Sevco thoughts.
My daughter has just told me that Hummel are a jakey cooncil brand of trainies. Whatever that means? ?

Hummel the preferred guttie of the sublime Mrs Starry:(((
She buys a pair every time she goes to Japan:)))
Wait till I tell her..
Hi Bhoys
I see the english police have managed to track down and charge the four idiots who abused England rugby coach Eddie Jones.
Any chance the Scottish police will catch the 3 rugby fans in Rome singing a proscribed song and shouting F^^^ the pope.
Naw I didnae think so.

Thanks pal.
Was thinking of going for the Royal blue suit, white shirt and red tie look. On second thoughts, I will dress up, wi a pair of denims, doc martens and Celtic tap. ???
DD,
Doc martens, good grief forgot about wearing those, red laces to look mental!!!
DELANEYS DUNKY

Was listening to an interview there with James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire. They said that Glasgow was their favourite city on earth and King Tuts Wa Wa Hut, their favourite place. Seemingly when they were an unsigned band from Welsh slums, they went on a tour of English and Scottish town and cities to get their break. They were penniless for most of the tour, and not eating most days. When they arrived at King Tuts Glasgow, the manager invited them to dinner in the club. They stuffed themselves with what they described as the best Lasagne and Shepherds pie ever tasted. They love Glaswegians for being the only folk in UK who fed 4 skint, starving Welsh Bhoyos.
This is even better ?????

Accrington Stanley promoted!!!!!
Just think what Windass could have been.
Ah but he may as well catch the Wind……..ass….
Some people are never happy are they?
Part two of the rebel treble but you wouldn’t think it
Safe to say the fashion police over on RM are not universally impressed with Hummel as the new kit supplier. They seem to reckon they’re getting over £4m a year though, which seems a decent bit of business. I’m sure the sergeant stripes will go down well with the law enforcement and military fans.
Hi Bhoys
Matt Hummels
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mats-hummels/profil/spieler/39728
Check out his latest transfer value £54m maybe he’s goingfor 55.
Oh ma sides LOL :-))))

Callum McGregor has never played against Steve Clarke’s Kilmarnock.

I would genuinely love it if they reported £4m p.a. The idea alone would keep The Emperor’s Clothes on the stage down Govan way…
The only way the deal would be worth even half of that is if they won every competition the entered.
PB
God forbid. Drumchapel skinhead huns wore red laces in their Docs.
Us Knightswood Young Soul Rebels wore yellow laces in our fenian Doc Martens. Mental territorial stuff.
DD,
Missed a trick in my teens then, should have red on one and yellow on the other…….?
Nothing like a bit of speculation:
Google headline from a rag that is lower than the daily ranger, ie, the scum
“RANGERS are expected to announce a new kit deal in the coming weeks – and fans reckon it could be Hummel.”
So because Hummel follow the huns on Twitter this is a done deal? Aye right.
A couple of days late to this but if anyone was still under the misguided impression that George Galloway was a voice worth listening to then take a look at this:

Mars,
I’ve got a King LP under my stairs, went through a weird phase at that age………..

Would love CQN to see a photo of ACGR’s size 8 wife. She is in love with a psycho indeed.
Kasabian at Benicassim Spain were shit hot. As were their Leicester female groupies. Tell them you work wi the band and yer in. ;)))
When i was young the boys club i played for had our kits made by Hummel. I can only assume they burnt their bridges with Puma and none of the other big boys were interested. Worth noting that Alastair Johnston is a high flyer with IMG Sports Management company. He will have a lot of contacts in the industry, the fact they’ve ended up with Hummel is quite telling.

My room was painted black and Depeche mode was constantly playing late at night ..
My mother was quite worried for me at one stage ?
DELANEYS DUNKY
Yip , she’s s cracker ….he’s just Cracked !! ?
Players view and Supporters view of Rangers will always differ ..
Players view .. When Celtic won the European Cup in 67 our
players back then, were battle hardened ..
The league was strong and Rangers were a good team as well.
Being pushed to the limit in the 60’s and 70’s undoubtedly
helped us in being able to play to such a high standard in Europe.
Its natural for players to want a strong Rangers to test and to
prove themselves against .. (Ex players understand this).
Supporters view of Rangers is different, and by and large is one
of Contempt. Some supporters might hate them, some might
wish a Tesco is build on Ibrox, and probably most hope that Karma
continues to deal with them, and provide a lifetime of suffering
and misery for any team at Ibrox playing in blue ..
Club 1278 release a statement saying the players and manager are hopeless but they want them
to suddenly beat teams they don’t usually beat ( not Aberdeen tho ).
And all this because the fans deserve better?
They’re all nuts.
I wonder if anyone could answer me a question….
Is the ‘sense of entitlement’ that killed rfc, and will surely kill Sevco, shared by the directors at Ibrox, or do they just go along with it because they know the fans wouldn’t buy-in to a long term sustainable business?
And the only reason they’ve suspended and hope to sack Miller and Wallace is £100,000 a month.

Thought that link was going to be Dave King giving a Love and Pride statement(huns love a bullshit statement)
Unfortunately it was King song fae 80s. Still extremely dislike that song and performer. As bad now as was then.
Mars,
If you had a look at the LP’s under the stair, Stiff Little Fingers; King; Genisis; The Clash; Incredible String Band, and many more.
Varied music . Csc
Humming suits thems :))

I did further enquiries after my daughter Paula told me that Hummel were a jakey, cooncil brand of trainies. My son Ryan told me that Hummel are the only brand of trainies that do not get security tagged. Seemingly, even junkies widnae knock Hummel trainies. ?

Memories of Portseaton …
Wooden chalets , gas mantles , outside pump for water ( cleaning dishes and filling pots ,kettles ) , outside toilets , outside seawater swimming baths .
On the beach there was anti-tank concrete blocks to stop the Nazis invading ….. i used to take a bucket of sand up on top of these blocks with my driver ( golf club ) and a bag of “TATTIES ” old golf balls and practise hitting them into the sea …….not enviromentally friendly now :((

Millar has only weeks of contract left but Wallace has a year and a bit (according to BBC) so would have to be paid off. IF so, this can only cost the huns money.
DELANEYS DUNKY
lol. The King tag was a link to “Green suit and docs ) . I listen to everything and go back to stuff i like .

I have a varied taste in music , from Disco , reggae , soul , rock , blues , folk .Most stuff has something that interests me .

Club 1690 are James Blair. James Blair is Dave King. Sorted dodgy geezer. They are in a baws in vice the huns support. All roads lead to Rome. All money goes to South Africa. Mugs there for the taking every crook they encounter. Wish I was Whyte and had a spare quid at that time. GulliBillys indeed. Wee shame.
