"To be a Ranger is to sense the sacred trust of upholding all that such a name means in this shrine of football. They must be true in their conception of what the Ibrox tradition seeks from them. No true Ranger has ever failed in the tradition set him." - William Struth  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Monty Python and The Life Of Rangers

Written by: Pro Patria
Friday, 24th May 2013

Anyone who has ever watched this film will vividly remember the scene in the amphitheatre where Reg, Stan and Francis are discussing the merits of the People’s Front of Judea. Then we have the hilarious discussion about the Judean People’s front followed by the ridicule shown towards the Judean Popular People's Front. And finally we have the popular front and one lone guy sitting in the crowd getting dog’s abuse.

Well fast forward 2000 odd years and we have our own “Life of Rangers” story unfolding before our very eyes.

Only this time the humour and pathos are missing.

The People’s front of Judea – The RST

The Judean People’s Front – Green and Blue Pitch Holdings

Judean Popular People's Front – The Blue Knights

Popular Front – Craig Whyte

Brian – Dave King

Battle Of The Bloggers

Written by: The Ref
Friday, 24th May 2013

As the sides in the boardroom war at Ibrox lock horns, so have the internet bloggers. On one side we have Chris ‘ever so slightly miffed’ Graham, and on the other we have Bill ‘my dad’s Bill McMurdo’ McMurdo.

The fury resplendent in his fluorescent green fingerless gloves, squares up to Big Bill, a giant among midgets. Their keyboards are their weapons, and the internet is their battleground. Only one can emerge victorious from this, although it is fairly obvious whoever loses out in this battle will be ready to claim the victim card when it is all done and dusted. I can just see the headlines now:

‘I was misled and a mere pawn in their games, I am a victim. Forgive me’.

Bill with his trench coat swinging around his ankles has firmly nailed his colours to the mast of the Brian Stockbridge camp, dancing to Brian's tune as his strings are pulled with each snippet he is exclusively leaked. Chris on the other hand, has elected to side with the Murray camp, ably assisted by Dave ‘L’Ego’ Leggat, also known by many Rangers supporters as ‘the town clock’ due to the amount of faces he has.

Rangers Blogger "tapped"

Written by: D'Artagnan
Thursday, 23rd May 2013

Having read some of the online accusations that some Rangers bloggers had aligned themselves with certain factions within Ibrox, I did feel a bit left out as no-one inside Ibrox, had approached me to be their “bitch”. Perhaps testimony to the impact, or lack thereof, of my blogging.

However at noon today my isolation was brought to an end when I was approached by a faction, a new one at that, to do their bidding.

Allow me to introduce to you The True Blue Trojans and their proposals to take our club forward. Having spoken to them at length on the phone, I am convinced this is the faction to take our club forward. They were good enough to fax me their proposals for the club which I am happy to reproduce here.

Lessons From Liverpool

Written by: D'Artagnan
Thursday, 23rd May 2013

Authors foreword:

This article seeks to examine the incredible and traumatic journey undertaken by those seeking justice for the Hillsborough 96 and to see what lessons can be learned for us in the Rangers family. It in no way seeks to make comparisons between the loss of a loved one and what has happened to Rangers football club in the last couple of years. We in the Rangers community, know from personal experience, having suffered our own disaster, that no such comparison can ever be made.

Why you may ask then is a Rangers blogger, seeking justice for his club, even mentioning the Hillsborough campaign for justice - the answer is quite simple – their story, their efforts, their determination, their ability to overcome considerable odds – should serve as an inspiration for people seeking justice everywhere.

I can remember every time I have been forced to stop reading , to stop and pause at the magnitude of what I was reading. The first time was the opening page of Solzhenitsyn's “One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich”. All my other stop and pause moments occurred during my research for this article, as I was forced to pause and reflect, often in wonderment , at the dogged determination, endurance, spirit, amongst other things, of those who campaigned for justice in respect of those who so tragically lost their lives at Hillsborough.

Three Sides To The Story

Written by: The Ref
Wednesday, 22nd May 2013

“There are three sides to every story; your side, my side and the truth.”

So goes the famous quote, and given the disgraceful events over the last few months by those who hold power within the Ibrox boardroom, it is particularly pertinent at this time.

Every day, new accusations come from within the Blue Room,and new voice recordings and videos are released to an eager press who don’t even try to hide their agendas towards our club any more.

The enemies we have in Scottish football and in the media are enjoying the soap opera which is our club, not just because it sells newspapers and increases viewing figures, but it gives them a chance to gloat at a club, who they wish nothing more than to cease to exist. As the Board of Directors continues to splinter and implode through the actions of individuals, it once again throws into doubt the very future of our club.
