Not seen such Bravery!
It's not over yet for Rangers.
3-1 down. An early goal for them in the 2nd leg will make it interesting - not that I want them to go up.

I am actually from Motherwell originally and the support is small but there would have been more than 950 Motherwell fans there. Rangers may only have needed to give the club 950 tickets but Motherwell fans would have bought more from the general sale.
So, how did it go? I've been on tenterhooks.

He's booking the open top bus ride as we speak. Youngest son is contenting himself with a place in the UEFA Arm Wrestling Cup though.

Damn....I thought that was QPR being hit with a massive fine for cheating!

It was Sim's toughest victory to date, he showed tremendous CHARACTER to get over the finishing line.

The 47,000 who regularly turn out to watch him triumph heroically over said four year old deserve a pat on the back for being such Great Fans too. They'll be dancing in the streets of Surrey this evening.

Lee Wallace - come on down!
I absolutely destroyed him.

People will say it was utterly meaningless, but you can only beat what's in front of you, as I did last year. And the 28 years before that.
And now the whole family can get behind me in the all-Surrey arm-wrestling championship where I have been knocked out in the first qualifying round every single year so far.
Disgrace!
Surely with your proven track record you should be given a bye and automatic entrance to the all-England World Championbobblyships

Breaking news from UEAWA: your Mum's just been fined €20,000 for singing sectarian chants during your first round tie against Major Wilberforce H.W. Fforbes-Huntingdon of Weybridge.

I lived in Glasgow for a while in the early 90s and have never seen anything like the football rivalry that goes on there. It was when Graeme Souness signed Maurice Johnston as the first Catholic and the response had to be seen to be believed.
They deserve each other.

Cheats?! How exactly did they cheat?

Are you for real?
Based on their relegation from the SPL to League 3 my guess is that the scale of illegal payments made by them was fairly gargantuan in footballing terms.
There are other clubs it could and should have happened to. One just down the coast comes to mind.

Blimey I think even Sepp Blatter would acknowledge that Rangers business dealings were shady!
And that doesn't even take account of the fact that they qualified for the Champions League by making all these illegal payments to players, without whom they may not have qualified for the Champions League. That then potentially kept Motherwell out of the Champions League for 2 years in a row. They could therefore possibly have been cheated out of Revenue that playing in the Champions League would have brought them.
I could go on about them escaping their debts to clubs they owed money to for transfers and HMRC by Bankrupting the old company and starting a new one but it serves no purpose really to sit and list all of their wrong doing. It has been done but others more knowledgeable than me.
