Most clubs have a minority who are out of step with the majority of a fanbase.

Rangers used to be no different - they used to have a tiny minority of fans who were decent and you could actually talk football with on a certain level.

Unfortunately even they have disappeared and the whole lot are a bunch of seething, bigoted, moronic cretins who belong in a bygone era.

Every time we play them there ends up being a pantomime of some description.

They've played well this season and will deserve their title when it comes. From where they've been, that's quite an achievement. They deserved to beat us by being marginally the better team than us last night and they ground out a victory in difficult conditions. They should have been down to 10 men after 17 minutes, it's not even up for discussion and any sensible fan will acknowledge when their team "gets away with one" which we all do on occasion. And fans of other teams should have broad enough shoulders to accept a bit of hyperbole from other fans, especially on "club tv" stations. If you can't take stuff like that, football is not for you.

I have had hun mates in the past but I just can't bear to talk football with them any more as, to a man, they have turned into jibbering morons.

It's a shame, because we used to have quite fun exchanges of views in the past.
