OK

Is it seriously that bad - see Sky are showing games, haven't tuned into any yet though.

Yeah know what you mean. It's amazing the number of people who have commented on it. However just to bring a more realistic bent, its not always like that - at times Fir Park can resemble a morgue - with the exception of the 'Bois'. The trick now is to carry this momentum forward to the new season and have Fir Park rocking like that every other week.

Cheers Essex - who do you watch?

Happy Dosser - IIRC it had more to do with the manufacturing process, rather than the club's reluctance to produce a 'traditional' strip. Like others I'm usually more than happy that at least our home and away efforts are 'Claret & Amber' and kept well away from the St Mirren strip designers.

He's a right back though, is he not?

Care to expand?

I think the clue might be hidden somewhere near the end of the article "Ex-Spurs, Preston and Luton Town frontman Robinson said: “Ian’s due a lot of credit. He’s a very calm person, he doesn’t get too carried away with defeat or victory."

Absolute KUDO's to both of you - couldn't have put it any better. Wonderful reading both these pieces. I don't think the 'flag poking' was intentional and something that to his credit Lee McCulloch didn't make much of, so there wasn't really anything 'we got wrong" and again I don't think the person involved went out of his way to deliberately target, McCulloch, or any other player for that matter. The pitch invasion - now Andy couldn't have described my emotions at the time any better - my first thought was get of the f....g park, this is all the excuse the authorities will need to overturn the result and catapult Rangers back into the big league. Thanks to both of you.

Think it was a 2, maybe even a 3 year deal for Johnston

Glad you managed to get sorted GazzyB - just don't leave it so late the next time.

Agreed and I doubt there were anywhere near 400-500 in the POD.

200 in the Cooper - no way - unless you saw something I didn't, doubt there were any (even the poor fella who's ticket was pictured and posted as an infiltrator, turned out to be a 'Well fan.

For a decent sum, by our standards (500K) if reports are to be believed.

Thankfully the quietest exit to an Old Firm match we've ever experienced - hardly a soul around when we left. Surprised at the lack of Police cordon, perhaps a late decision taken on the basis of how few Rangers fans actually turned up - so much for the bravado of the last week and how they would have to be admitted because of the numbers who would travel. Lessons can be learned, but the most important one is that with the correct ticketing arrangements in place, we can provide our team with an advantage at home. Well done the club. Anyone aware of what happened with the young lad being treated by Ambulance staff for a head wound at the Cooper Stand exit?

The "90 in 90 highlights" posted earlier in the thread are absolutely superb. The reaction of the commentator as Bell punches thin air is priceless.

Took a lot of flack recently, but got this one spot on and deserves enormous credit for the stance taken on ticketing. Now if we could just get every one of those fans today, back on a regular basis?

Don't think I've ever heard a noise inside Fir Park like the one that greeted our opening goal today. I'm still buzzing. 50+ years of taking their crap - NO LONGER. I'm going to milk this till my dying day.

Marvin for me - he's going to be a sensation next season - which now can't come quickly enough.

Must have been mini-buses !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know who posted that original ticket or where the picture came from - but the boy in that seat was defo a 'Well fan - there to the end and joined in all of the songs (and I mean all).

Think a few are closing, prior to KO (certainly the Electric Bar is). Place will be hoaching with vermin, better to watch in the comfort of your living room. Other options are New Century, maybe Jack Daniels, though I undestand it's regulars and home fans only. As I say most of the local hostelries will be taken over, I'd rather be comfortable at home.

Noticed the Motherwell scarf in the Rangers end at HT - few berz gave the boys some strange looks.

Was that a Rangers scarf towards the end of that clip - WTF.

Yeah that's true - feel for Gazzy coming all that way. If I could have got there before 12.00 I'd have sorted him out. Surprised there isn't someone on here who could help him out.
