Poor enough article, bizarrely dragging Celtic into it while sniping at the huns for doing the same.
+1. Thought it was a shite article myself.

Default Wee story from Benidorm that sums up being a Bear
Mrs Colin Stein, me and my youngest are currently enjoying a wee week in Benidorm. Before we came she bought us both a Union Flag beach towel. Each night they fly proudly from our balcony separated by the bairns Rangers towel. I watch some of the locals walk by, stop and stare at the display and then discuss it, no doubt recalling that momentous night in Barcelona in 72 or the up and coming return visit by the Bears.
Anyway at the poolside yesterday I was approached by a cockney guy, who explained he was a Chelsea supporting serving soldier (and Bear friendly) and asked if the flag display was mine. I said yes, and he said he didnt want to sound cheeky but that the towels were sometimes flying upside down. I thought he was being petty, but he explained he expected more from the Quintessential British Club and that it was that attention to fine detail that made us different from all the rest. I was impressed that he was aware of the Quintessential mantle and I promised to make sure that the flags flew properly in future. Well the wife actually becasue shes in charge of that sort of thing.
Last night as I sat in my balcony I watched my new Chelsea mate and his family return from the town. He stopped outside my balcony, proudly saluted the towels and then carried on to his apartment.[/QUOTE]

Friday February 27
Falkirk v Rangers (19.45), Scottish Championship, BT Sport 1 VM 547 / 549 HD, 19.30
Our weekly chance to check on what chaotic nonsense has befallen Rangers and what havoc Mike Ashley has managed to wreak north of the border in the last seven days carries us to a Friday night in Falkirk. Inevitably all the coverage, and most of the crowd, will be interested in the UK’s most farcical club (settle down fans of Leeds and QPR, you’ve got nothing on these guys) but spare a thought for Falkirk who used to yo-yo up and down out of this league quite a bit before they suddenly found Hearts, Hibs and Billy Smart’s Travelling Circus joining them at the second tier.
Currently fifth, Falkirk have a great chance to claim a famous win here given how abysmally Rangers are playing football, conducting their business, treating their wives, tending to their gardens, behaving on the way home from the pub and everything else besides.
Who run’s the leage thread
[QUOTE=“Bandage, post: 36014, member: 9”]Let’s All Laugh At Rangers Thread
Let’s keep an eye on the enemy in this thread over the course of the season.
Huns team for the CL qualifier last night was:
McGregor;
Hutton; Weir; Cuellar; Papac;
McCulloch; Ferguson; Hemdani; Adam;
Boyd; Darcheville;
They won 2-0 courtesy of a floated ball into the box by Weir where the keeper came out to punch and literally missed the ball with it trickling into the net behind him and a header by McCulloch that also bobbled over the line after Novo blocked the keeper’s view and he didn’t move for the ball even though it only crawled into the net.
The ugliness of the goals broadly signifies the ‘style’ of play they’ll adopt this season and we have to be ready for it. They will hack from start to finish in every game and the main feature of their midfield last night was their propensity to hack. McCulloch and Adam play wide but both are limited hackers and their full backs love to dive into a tackle also.
Basically, they’re trying to close the chasm in quality between Celtic and themselves through blatant physicality, typical of a Smith side really with closing down, tackling and stopping others playing being the way they go about it.
They’ll brush lesser SPL asides with this approach but having seen Donati and Brown link up superbly so far I remain completely confident Celtic will win the 3-in-a-row.
I’d also give the side from Montenegro a chance in the second leg.[/QUOTE]
COOL
Sevco drew 2-2 at home to Alloa tonight and they’ve now drawn their last 5 league games.
Stuart McCall was appointed manager last week and has been in charge for the latest 2 home draws.

Did I dream this up or is there some sort of new convoluted play off system this season for the 2nd promotion slot between 2nd bottom in the Premier League and 2nd, 3rd & 4th in the Championship? The way Sevco are going at the moment, they could yet be overtaken by both Queen of the South and Falkirk.
As far as I know, it goes like this:
Championship winner promoted.
SPFL bottom club relegated.
3rd and 4th in Championship play each other and the winner plays 2nd. The winner of that faces 2nd bottom of SPFL in promotion/relegation play-off.

That’s just a load of nonsense. It should be just top two up, bottom two down. Same in England, top three up, bottom three down. Knock out games after a 46 game season is just idiotic.

Genius by Mike Ashley.
Sevco.

God bless Mike Ashley.
3-0 down at Queen of the South for the second time this season.
The second goal is worth looking for. Comical defending wouldn’t do it justice.
Meanwhile, the scene outside Ibrox earlier:
[ATTACH=full]2716[/ATTACH]
Rangers are currently 2-0 down at home to Falkirk.
11 minutes injury time at Ibrox where Rangers salvaged a 2-2 draw. But Hibs’ victory allowed them to climb into second place.
Last game of the “regular” season next week. Rangers away to Hearts and Hibs away to Falkirk.
Team/Points
Hearts/90
Hibs/67
Rangers/66
Queen of the South/60
Third plays fourth and the winner meets second. Whoever wins that then plays 11th in the top flight (likely to be Motherwell).
