steelboy Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Anything less than our strongest lineup would be mental. it's only an opportunity to beat rangers at ibrox for the first time in 15 years, take a step towards winning our first trophy in 20 years and make some desperately needed cash. i'd play the u17s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi-1991 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I would say our game against Celtic is bigger, and the last thing we want to do would be to give the orcs the change to kick lumps out of our players before it. As we have seen, Rangers are not that great a team. A mix of fringe and first team players are more than capable of beating them and we can always have the big guns on the bench if we need them.

tommycoyne Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Why not just trusts and have faith in what we've got and go for three wins? The mutton molestars are mince, the h**s are mincer and the tims are mincemeat! I'm an optimist but realist too do lets believe and fo a double header on the new old firm.

Prize money for each round goes from 4 to 5 figures. It is not as prosperous than the league. If we're to make notable money from this we need to get to final and leech of Celtic full house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stall Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 ^ My mate sent me the link 5 mins ago..... CHARLES GREEN has insisted that Motherwell will be warmly welcomed to Ibrox next week because he believes they were pressured into voting against Rangers getting back into the SPL. The Fir Park men – who lead the Premier League right now – come to Ibrox on Wednesday in the third round of the Scottish Communities League Cup. It will be Rangers’ first meeting with an SPL side since the summer vote to exclude them from the top flight was cast. However, although Motherwell were one of the teams to vote “no” Green says he believes they were cajoled into the decision. Speaking exclusively to RangersTV he said: “We have seen and heard lots of hypotheses on radio, in newspapers and on TV and we understand fans’ feelings “But what fans have to understand is what occurred at Hampden over our SPL status when 10 clubs voted against and one abstained. “Ally and I sat there and we know what happened. We know that only half of those clubs wanted Rangers out of that league. “I believe that a number of the clubs were bounced into it. “Why, for example, would Ross County spend all their life-time trying to get into the Premier League to find Rangers were not there? It’s inconceivable. “But we understand what happened and we know the reasons behind it. We understand we have to suffer the punishment for the sins of the fore-fathers and we have done that. “What we have to understand is not everyone in that room wanted Rangers out of that league and I know –because I could glints in eyes – which ones were happy and which ones were not. “We recognise what happened and when some of these clubs come to Ibrox they will be welcome. When others come, they won’t be so welcome. “We know that Rangers are bigger than all of this so we ask the fans to get behind the club as they have done so well. “I want them out there at the Motherwell game cheering, singing and waving the flags. “Motherwell are a club who are suffering financially because Rangers are not in the SPL and we don’t believe that Motherwell are anti-Rangers. “We believe that there was pressure; they were under pressure from their own fans and they took a decision and we understand that. “If you had taken all of these external pressures away then Motherwell and other clubs would have voted differently.” http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/2235-well-are-welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stall Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 He is one slimy, slimy, slimy bastard. Perfect fit for them really. I would expect he see's they have not sold many tickets, he wants to maximise ticket sales so he's trying to say Motherwell are not the bad guys and we are in it together with them and shouldn't be subjected to a boycott. Fuck him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave87 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Took the words right out my mouth. I'm sure the knuckle dragging bastards within the stadium will be sure to make us all feel ever so welcome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nethertonwellfan Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 The thing is though he is right, there were clubs who would have voted to allow the newco direct entry in to the SPL had it not been for the fans. We would most certainly have been one of those clubs. Our board really wanted to vote Yes to Newco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Grand statements about things until the situation arises....then a totally different tune. Have their fans noticed yet? Delighted to be getting in for a quid next Wednesday so I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_I Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Green is a much smarter man than many give him credit for. Many of the things he comes out with might come across stupid and out-right wrong, but they are only said to get the fans behind him. He says things like they will charge £1 for tickets against SPL teams, knowing fine well it could NEVER work, but knowing the fans love hearing that sort of shite. Also all this SFA are bigots nonesence, he his well aware the SFA are just doing their job, but the fans are lapping it up like fools. These comments are made I am sure to rile up our fans. Remind us our club were ready to defend Rangers cheating if it wasn't for us, get our backs up about this fact. He is at it. But he will also want these comments to paint a picture of him being the good guy, which he will need to do before his next scripted out burst at the SFA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 So Charles Green saw a glint in Leeann's eye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 If the fans ARE the Club, as many would suggest in the modern footballing world of zero loyalty, then the vote did show that Motherwell are anti Rangers. Imo Green is wrong there again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 If the fans ARE the Club I would say the fans are definitely the club, and for Green to try and separate them when it suits his argument is just more of his BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I agree with Dave I. The man isn't stupid and knows exactly what to say to appeal to his horde of knuckle dragging neanderthals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
