the end now please?

They're back.

Can we draw a line under this whole sordid fucking mess now please? What a complete and utter cock-up that was, as if the SFA weren't a big enough joke as it is. Anyway, I'm sick to the back teeth of talking about it and even more so from hearing about it, so let that be that. 

Can I just ask though, first of all, what you guys think? From outside of Scotland and from the point-of-view of non Rangers supporters. I'm really curious to know what you made of the whole situation.

I did think they made alot out of very little to be honest. And my Glasgow-dwelling friend declared it to be 'political correctness gone mad': that where he lives, the two fingers is a standard greeting, and no Scotland supporter worth talking to could possibly have taken offence!!
(Im not convinced this is the general opinion, of course, but he was very upset about how they were treating his captain).
((btw will be posting your ficlet today and its shockingly bad, but I'm practicing, ok?))

They did. But the complete balls up afterwards with the "no they're not banned" then four hours later "aye they still are" then the day later "only while this manager is in charge"...It was embarrassing. It just went so much further than it actually had to because of the sheer incompetence of the Blazers.

Smith has said today that he retracts what he earlier said off the record to the players about them never playing for Rangers again. What happened before was done in anger but I agree that he had to do something to show that there was at least someone in this fucking country that can make a decision when need be. This has all reflected badly on the club as a whole (more so than what the players did in the first place), thankfully we've actually done alright despite the two week ban (fucking fantastically actually) but it could have severely damaged our chances for the rest of the season. Smith says it was gamble that he had to take but I don't think it was.

As for the two fingers, fuck it. I can see where people are coming from saying it isn't the best example to kids yadda yadda and the captain of club and country shouldn't have been doing it but...fucking get over it y'know. He's still Barry and I still love him. McShagger is still McShagger XD. But offensive? Naw.

Anyway.

You are?! *squee* Soooo looking forward to it XD Bet its not bad at all ♥

they are on me journal, and there is a little extra something with yours -- which im sure you've already seen, but i certainly didnt mind looking twice!! im really coming round to your way of thinking where mr crosas is concerned!!

i really dont know who's bright idea it was to suggest footballers as role models anyway. i can think of possibly 5 in the world who are worthy of that, and only 2 of them try at it; the others just happen not to be demented perverts!!
But i am glad he's back! Lets just hope the blues form doesnt dip, by some twisted irony :/

Just read and commented! :D

Any excuse to look at that picture over and over again is welcome to be honest XD. you are? perfect. i'm so confused about him, its like "i love you" but "whai them"? he's got such a perfect little frown on his face all the time and just *squee*. Oh god i feel so guilty talking about him in a post specifically Gers.

Nah, its a bit daft. They're all mental XD
Me too. I don't think he'll play (not actually trained since 20th Marc O.o) but it's nice knowing he's actually in the team again. Same with Allan, he's a smashin' keeper afterall :)
