The Official Scottish Football Thread

[scoopdydoo]

Terrible scenes today given we're still in the middle of a pandemic. Probably put us back a good few weeks.

I guess not everyone gets to see their club win their first ever title, one to tell the grandkids for sure.

Welcome back. Where have you been hiding?

Obsessive behaviour to find that post.

Rangers fans were saying the same thing after Gerrard had 2 seasons at Ibrox. The vast majority of fans wanted him sacked before this season started.

Football. It's a fickle old game.

Obsessive? What a strange comment. Had a bad weekend?

Thanks! Decided I’d kill a bit of time away from killing time on here

I've had a great weekend.

How often do you rumble through hundreds of pages of a thread to try to pick an argument? It's obsessive behaviour. You've missed the last few months.

The vast majority of Rangers fans agreed with me for years.

You're talking nonsense if you think "the majority" of rangers fans wanted Gerrard out.

I think you'd be better off spending your time worrying about your own manager situation rather than ours though

The polls on the Rangers forums were over 90% wanting him sacked.

That's the thing about football. People forget very fast and rewrite history.

[Algarve]

Sounds like you're obsessed, you seem to spend a lot of time hanging around on rangers forums?

Great, me too!

I didn’t rumble through hundreds of pages... I even quoted the post which pointed out the page. Do try to keep up, please

I don’t think I’ve met anyone in Gerrard’s entire time as manager who has wanted to replace him. Disappointment with gaps to Celtic (post Dubai especially) and lack of cup wins, certainly, but everyone aware of the progress that has been made on and off the field. If you’ve got the cast iron proof from an Internet forum I’ll take your word for it.

I should have made that clearer. I wasn't calling you a weirdo stalker. You've missed the new recruits to the thread.

Not just the internet forums. Look how empty the stands were at the end of last season. Fans had given up on Gerrard, but they'll not admit to that now.

All the Rangers fans I know wanted him out.

Says the man who gives a running commentary of what's happening at Celtic.

Poor effort at trying to divert the actual point.

[Algarve]

We've had the league won for months, very little to do but thoroughly enjoy Lemon having a meltdown whilst we wait on our European games.

You’re conflating “giving up on Gerrard” with giving up on watching Hamilton and Livingston in the middle of winter. And I’d be fairly sure the attendance would still be pretty much 50k.

The attendance is always pretty much 50k. Season tickets count as attendance even when they don't turn up, or last 60 minutes. Hamilton was March and not the heights of winter.

I'm not conflating anything. The vast majority of Rangers fans wanted Gerrard out. It was very clear and not any misunderstanding. Obviously winning this season has changed view. People quickly forget and have to rewrite what they said.

Lets have a look then.

Livingston on 22nd January - 49,300. https://www.rangers.co.uk/fixture/rangers-vs-st-mi...

Ross County on 29th Jan - 47,600. https://www.rangers.co.uk/fixture/rangers-vs-ross-...

Aberdeen on 1st Feb - 50,000. https://www.rangers.co.uk/fixture/rangers-vs-aberd...

Hibs on the 5th Feb - 49,400. https://www.rangers.co.uk/fixture/rangers-vs-hiber...

In other words, you're just talking pish again.

This is when Rangers were still allegedly in a title fight. Only losing 1-0 and dominating the game. It got worse later on..

They overwhelming did. The poll had far more participants than that. There is no context on when that was taken from.

We are only rewriting history. Someone was posting on here the other day how McCoist was an icon that nobody could dislike. People have forgotten how he left Rangers.

Same as always, football fans are as fickle as anything and forget everything.

It was literally freezing. Does it worry you that it’s so easy to just google something totally contradictory to your statements?

You are just regularly rewriting your own facts

For context, poll, as clearly shown, was from 24th February (day after a draw in Perth). The last post on the thread was March 2020 so I’d say it is a timeous sample for the end of 19-20 Premiership season.

What shall we do next? Grass is blue and sky is green?

It was literally freezing. Forecast shows highs of 9 degrees. It's Scotland, not Barbados.


The biggest memory of this season is going to be the tedious fighting and Covid influence.
