Rangers banter 2

19 Dec 2025 16:17:35
Fancy Sterling and Fernandez to be our 2 half backs on sunday.

19 Dec 2025 17:00:00
Think we'll be playing the 5 again. Sterling Fernandez Nsiala Meghoma and Tav. Barron and Raskin. Moore Gassama. Chermiti.

19 Dec 2025 17:12:45
Will definitely be back 5 sunday i think.

19 Dec 2025 17:15:49
Be surprised if Diomande doesn't start, only cm that gets in behind.

19 Dec 2025 17:23:11
Arrons will start.

19 Dec 2025 18:12:34
Butland
Aarons
Sterling
Fernandez
Meghoma
Barron
Raskin
Diomande
Moore
Gassama if fit if not Curtis
Chermiti.

19 Dec 2025 18:38:18
Butland

Sterling
Dgiga
Fernandez

Aarons
Barron
Raskin
Meghoma

Moore
Gassama

Miovski.

19 Dec 2025 19:01:02
Sorry don't think my 1st wil make it, lol.

19 Dec 2025 19:43:07
Djiga away to Afcon TJBB.

19 Dec 2025 21:04:06
I will be interested in the battle between Raskin and Devlin as think Raskin will definitely be away this window or next. Could devlin replace him.

19 Dec 2025 21:28:20
The battle i'm also interested in is Barron V devlin 😲.

19 Dec 2025 21:32:41
Butland

Tavernier
Sterling
Fernandes

Aarons
Raskin
Barron
Meghoma

Moore
Gassama

Miovski.

19 Dec 2025 23:57:35
I reckon that will be the team Jackboy. Most people now leaving Dio out of the team and can see he offers nothing recently.

20 Dec 2025 07:14:13
How many times has Diomande got in behind this season?

He is rotten.

20 Dec 2025 08:57:58
Be surprised if we only go with 10 players kaiser.

20 Dec 2025 13:55:00
Coldo the manager won't though.

20 Dec 2025 14:31:33
Scottw didn't he get in behind the last game?

20 Dec 2025 17:19:59
Dio is the only CM that plays on the turn and looks to make forward passes. He starts for me.

19 Dec 2025 11:42:33
Chermiti to win it for us on Sunday. That's how crazy this season has been 😂. In all serious though it wouldn't surprise me. I have a good feeling for Sunday for some reason. Here's hoping 🤞.

19 Dec 2025 12:38:40
Seen on Facebook, Miovsky won't make weekend.

19 Dec 2025 13:04:29
Rohl just said Miovski still has 48 hrs Whatsmyname.

19 Dec 2025 13:07:14
I'd rather put Gassama through the middle and play with wingbacks.

19 Dec 2025 13:19:44
Would love that for the big boy oranget, chances are very slim though.

19 Dec 2025 13:19:51
Moore will be the big difference for us against them on sunday i feel 👍 He's got the ability to dribble past 2 and 3 opponents at a time creating a shooting chance for himself, as well as creating space and chances for others 👌🇬🇧.

19 Dec 2025 13:22:47
Who will play in defence? Djiga away.

19 Dec 2025 13:24:24
Good to put a bit of doubt in Derek McInnes's mind about our lineup. Hopefully he starts or at least plays a part though.

19 Dec 2025 13:50:30
What's my name, Rohl never said that yet mate. Cameron definitely out, not that it matters he wouldn't have played anyway.

19 Dec 2025 14:42:40
Agreed Walter, Moore seems to be at his best and demanding the ball which is down to confidence, most gifted player on park come Sunday.

19 Dec 2025 15:04:52
Mr Sterling is back.

We won't play s**t.

That guy is the enforcer.

19 Dec 2025 15:25:03
Paul that tells me that Cameron has an ongoing issue with a injury and why he's probably not playing. Wouldn't be the first time someone's came here, got injured and struggled to recover/get fit.

19 Dec 2025 15:28:50
It's all in your name crazy 🤪 maybe fairytale do come true ha.

19 Dec 2025 16:20:49
Sorry guys. Thanks.

19 Dec 2025 16:21:38
DJB Cameron sustained his injury by overtraining on his own prior to joining up with us, he missed most off pre season and then got injured again in Europe,

19 Dec 2025 17:15:00
Hopefully Bajrami is fit he could make the difference.

19 Dec 2025 10:20:00
Right troops.
I know it's early.
Got a busy few days coming up including an overnight in Edinburgh.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone on here.

19 Dec 2025 10:17:40
Interesting to hear that Rohl has been giving names of players and stated that he has already spoken to some players. Was glad to hear him talking about them knowing what it means to come here.

I think we might be seeing a couple of players in the first week of January.

19 Dec 2025 12:24:57
Jim I hope these names are not from down in the English Championship?

19 Dec 2025 12:41:59
Big blue players will be signed before old firm game.

19 Dec 2025 13:08:16
That's great to hear John, any idea who?

19 Dec 2025 13:16:40
That's what I took from his presser this morning John and good to hear the club are being pro-active and trying to set things right. Interested who this top player is you allude to in another post.

19 Dec 2025 13:27:55
Club let's wait and see. If I name two players and they don't arrive till a week later, experience tells us I get abuse

Same as Copland Ibrox 4 me and some others,

19 Dec 2025 13:41:07
Club 72, John will definitely have a really good idea of who, but he won't share it on here, through idiots calling him out if it doesn't work out. I probably wouldn't either if I was him, he can do without the hassle, sad tbh.

19 Dec 2025 14:38:14
Bbj, would be stunned if he comes to Scotland.

19 Dec 2025 15:07:01
Fair enough John. Are you confident that the names you have heard would be a significant upgrade on what we have and are the type of player to win us the league and have us doing well in the EL again?

19 Dec 2025 15:14:41
Good info as usual John and announce any transfers when the contracts are signed.

19 Dec 2025 15:23:32
Play in Italy John?

19 Dec 2025 15:25:03
Teams initial begins with a B?

19 Dec 2025 15:26:22
Well John let's hope your stunned.

19 Dec 2025 15:33:04
Fingers crossed then John, hopefully we can entice him and we go into next season that much stronger. Yeah I don't blame you John for not naming them even though it's a rumour page and supposed to be what this is all about.

19 Dec 2025 16:12:36
Lewis Ferguson🙏.

19 Dec 2025 16:24:55
72 on paper he would be our best signing in 15 years, I feel he would adapt very quickly, he will not arrive till the summer though,

19 Dec 2025 17:23:11
Great stuff John I hope it comes to fruition. Is this the same player that would be our captain?

19 Dec 2025 23:06:21
Club yes re captain.

20 Dec 2025 00:01:19
Excellent John. Good info.

19 Dec 2025 09:01:35
A case for the defence.
Worse Rangers defence in years?
Every player has been slated at some time this season:-
Butland, Tav, Souttar, Djiga, Aarons, Meghoma and Fernandez.
With the exception possibly being Sterling and Cornelius.
So how do we match up in the SPFL?
Hearts – conceded 13. 8 clean sheets. Errors leading to shots 4 ( 1 goal ).
Celtic – conceded 13. 9 clean sheets. Errors leading to shots 7 ( 1 goal ).
Rangers – conceded 13. 6 clean sheets. Errors leading to shots 8 ( 1 goal ).
Motherwell – conceded 15. 8 clean sheets. Errors leading to shots 7 ( 3 goals ).
Hibs – conceded 19. 5 clean sheets. Errors leading to shots 8 ( 4 goals ).
Aberdeen – conceded 17. 6 clean sheets. Errors leading to shots 8 ( 4 goals ).
Falkirk – conceded 26. 4 clean sheets. Errors leading to shots 13 ( 3 goals ).


Dundee United – conceded 26. 3 clean sheets. Errors leading to shots 5 ( 5 goals ).
St Mirren – conceded 22. 3 clean sheets. Errors leading to shots 6 ( 4 goals ).
Dundee – conceded 31. 2 clean sheets. Errors leading to shots 6 ( 4 goals ).
Kilmarnock – conceded 32. 3 clean sheets. Errors leading to shots 4 ( 4 goals ).
Livingston – conceded 31. 1 clean sheet. Errors leading to shots 5 ( 5 goals ).
7 of those 13 came in first 7 games under Martin.
Under Rohl, we've had 5 clean sheets in 9 games.
Conceded 2 goals in a match twice – both against Dundee Utd.
We are joint 1st for least goals conceded.
We are joint 8th on errors leading to shots.
But have recovered as we joint first on least goals conceded from errors.
Room for improvement ( which is happening under Rohl ).

19 Dec 2025 09:19:55
He's done a brilliant job so far as we were a mess before. What was it around 100 shots against after half a dozen games? Though as he also said he had to concentrate on helping the defence, adjusting his tactics which has probably been at the detriment at the other end.

Hopefully with some better recruitment at the back we can do more in attack with more confidence in those behind them.

19 Dec 2025 09:42:10
For me, lack of goals from our strikers is a bigger issue than goals conceded.

19 Dec 2025 09:46:52
A lot of mistakes have been in Europe also, this is where a lot of my frustration comes from anyway.

I reckon there will be poor defending that's lead to a goal in most if not all of our Europa league games this season.

19 Dec 2025 10:32:44
There was a discussion on here the other day about Butland and how he is just as culpable. I would look at replacing him as soon as. I actually like the St Mirren keeper Shamal George, I think he would be a great signing. Good age as well 27 or 28 I think. Our defence is the worst in years.

19 Dec 2025 12:00:08
It's more about lack of creativity from wide areas that's been our problem for me?

Also lack of a goal scoring mf player.

19 Dec 2025 12:29:57
I agree that our problems are at the other end of the pitch, 13 goals against isn't that bad and works out at under a goal a game, Currently we are without our two first choice central defenders and from now on our three first choice central defenders. Scoring once against Rangers shouldn't be enough to earn any points against us as we should always be capable of scoring more than that.

Interesting that in domestic terms, that Tav is our top scorer, Manny is third top scorer and Meghoma, Cornelius and Aarons have all chipped in with vital goals while our forward players, Miovski, recently, aside, aren't doing what they are paid for.

19 Dec 2025 13:35:46
Tav we can not ignore the 28 goals we have also conceded in cup games this season, many criminal defending

We have in fact conceded nearly 50 goals since august.

19 Dec 2025 14:40:19
Wsl, do you just choose to ignore the other 30 plus goals we have conceded since August?

19 Dec 2025 14:53:21
MPH, I was looking at our league stats but only since Rohl came in because you can't judge our from using any of Martin's figures.

so in those 8 games we have 6 wins (0 losses), 4 clean sheet, conceded 4 and scored 15 of our 23 goals in total. so we are getting tighter at the back and scoring more goals (almost twice as many).

Hearts in same 8 games have 3 wins (1 loss), 3 clean sheets, conceded 6 and scored 12 (of their 34 in total)

so their defence isn't as tight in those games and they have gone off the boil just a little bit scoring wise.

Celtic in same 8 games have 5 wins (3 losses), 4 clean sheets, conceded 8 and scored 15 (of their 26 total).

so Celtic had started scoring again under MON and were defensively okay but Nancy changes that a bit with 2 of those losses.

as always using the past to predict the future isn't always correct but interesting to see current form after Rohl joined.

19 Dec 2025 15:46:54
Club72, Shamal George played very well when at Livi, especially against us. he is just on loan at St Mirren I think, so might not be available.
Good young goalkeeper, who won't want to be signed as backup.

19 Dec 2025 16:17:15
Bar72 he would be my number 1. I have very little confidence in Butland. I never realised he was on loan. You are right he is on loan from Wycombe. Shouldn't be too hard to get him I wouldn't think. Proven he can play in this league and big games, I thought he was excellent in the cup final.

19 Dec 2025 16:38:36
George was excellent in the cup final but is he really the step up in keeper we need if we do get rid of Butland.
as a comparison Butland has conceded 13 goals and has had 6 clean sheets sitting behind the worst Rangers defence in history of the game. Shamal George has conceded 22 and 3 clean sheets behind a defence that contains our lusted after choices of Gogic and Freckleton.


as I said not saying he is a bad keeper but needs to improve a bit before I would think he is an improvement. there may be a reason why he is on loan to Saints from the mighty Wycombe and behind the wonderful Will Norris; never heard of him? neither had I actually until I looked him up 15 goals against in 15 games this season.
apologies for sarcasm but couldn't help it.

19 Dec 2025 18:18:14
Great idea guys, let's replace our England international goalkeeper for a guy that's out on loan from an English third tier club.

19 Dec 2025 18:32:02
come on Thornton but he had a good game 😉.

19 Dec 2025 19:17:10
John 2575, for the sake of this discussion I do because we are talking about where we are in the league and what this squad can achieve in the league. We were totally outclassed in most of the European games because the squad isn't good enough, we gave up far too many chances and goals BUT we also missed sitters at important times in some of the games.

The other cup tie that we lost goals was against Celtic but we played most of that game with 10 men and even then they couldn't score more than one over 90 minutes. If we had scored just one more goal in some of the low scoring draws we would probably be near the top of the league.

19 Dec 2025 22:18:59
We don't have an England international Gk though do we😅.

19 Dec 2025 08:54:08
The last part through thick and thin obviously not 😆.

19 Dec 2025 09:22:35
Hopefully the rest of their fans follow suit and stop following them. What a better place it would be.

19 Dec 2025 09:25:54
Won just about everything in the last 20 years and it's not enough!

19 Dec 2025 09:43:43
The entitlement is unlike anything i have ever seen.

Not to mention their constant hypocrisy.

"best fans in the world" they call themselves. so embarrassing

imagine if they had be put down to the depths of Scottish Football, i bet most would have moved to another team for sure.

19 Dec 2025 11:21:17
Hilarious that 1 bad season for them equals burn it all down cause they "deserve" better. Complaining that winning domestic trebles is boring and they should be doing better in the champions league so they are deluded cause of success. Complaining about having 80 million in the bank, I'd love Rangers to have that in the bank and be spending
Every window.

Seen somewhere that Celtic have won 70 trophies since Lawwell was on the board (2003) and that's not good enough according to them.

19 Dec 2025 12:37:13
This all stems from losing the cup final last year, they all went mental because they " should" win the treble, they were not satisfied with winning the double. They brought in 9 players in the summer, including spending over £14million and the return of Tierney to add to that squad and they complain about the signings not being enough and eventually they hound Rodgers out the door after a couple of defeats saying the squad is not good enough and full of average players.

Their fans have created this mess because this generation has had it easy for so long they can't take even one defeat. Their could be riots if this goes on, remember 2021.

19 Dec 2025 15:49:31
Aye a club like no other eh. Can smell the sharks making a swift return. Hope it ruins their Christmas 😂.

18 Dec 2025 22:45:48
Let's talk facts and the grey areas.

There is no proof, no charges, no investigations that show anyone was involved in a scam, corruption, or anything illegal. That's the truth, whether folk like it or not. Football authorities, leagues, and regulators have nothing on him.

But, football isn't judged only in courtrooms. It's judged on trust, optics, and accountability and this is where the dark areas creep in. He signs Chermiti at Everton. It doesn't work. He then arrives at Rangers… and brings the same player back in again.

Legally? Fine. Optically? Very uncomfortable.

Add to that:
1. A player who changed agents between moves

2. A sporting director using prior relationships to push deals

3. Recruitment money being spent on players fans already had doubts about

4. And the hiring of family members within the football structure

None of that screams "crime" — but it does raise eyebrows.

Football has a long history of:
A. Old pals helping old pals

B. "Trust me" signings

C. Executives recycling players they personally believe in

D. Clubs paying the price when that belief is wrong

And Rangers supporters are right to question it.

This isn't about shouting "scam" with no evidence. It's about saying standards matter. When money is tight, when fans are asked to be patient, when performances dip transparency becomes everything. And when decisions look recycled, rushed, or personal, suspicion fills the silence.

So no, there's no smoking gun. But yes, there are dark areas, bad judgement, and optics that were never going to sit right with the Rangers support. And at this club, that should never be ignored. Lower than a snakes belly this one. Who is this person? 🤔.

19 Dec 2025 00:06:07
Copy and pasted from instagram by any chance bro?

19 Dec 2025 01:31:05
Should always give credit to another's post mate.

19 Dec 2025 05:00:09
Where there is money there is corruption.

Didn't mark warburton do something similar?

19 Dec 2025 07:24:18
Yet we have countless posts stating we hope Rohl uses his connections in Germany or Stig in Scandinavia.

19 Dec 2025 07:26:42
Good post again SWM 👌🇬🇧.

19 Dec 2025 07:32:11
& yet we bring in a new Manager, who we hope will use his previous contacts to identify players or the new interim chap, again who we hope uses previous dealings and contacts to get us out of this hole.
Unfortunately it is how the game works.
Not disagreeing with SWS, just saying, it happens.

19 Dec 2025 08:01:12
Don't think there was any conspiracy just incompetence. Most people and businesses work with and do deals with people they know. This was just a group that were really poor at their jobs, and totally underestimated the size of the club and Scottish football as a whole thinking it would be an easy ticket to success because we're always part of the top 2 and in Europe. They followed the general English attitude that if you play in England you can stroll it up here or that it's just a stepping stone for academy kids.

Even the boast of £20m investment like we'd all be blown away even though it's pocket change down south. They've gone thankfully and owners now realise they need proper people involved so hopefully will get it right now as they seem to be doing.

19 Dec 2025 08:30:30
Everyone at work hires people they have worked with previously as working with someone is a much better judge of ability than an interview with a random person.

19 Dec 2025 08:55:26
Tin foil hat pish.

19 Dec 2025 09:09:07
It's gross incompetence IMO not anything corrupt.

19 Dec 2025 09:25:31
I'd imagine that May individuals at clubs would use their knowledge on players they've worked with previously when looking to make signings. Less of a gamble in reality. I'm hoping Rohl utilises his German contacts for our benefit.

19 Dec 2025 10:06:32
That's exactly what it is LMac17, nothing more. We have a common theme since admin where we appoint people from the playing staff to managers and Dof to the boardroom who are completely incompetent and out of their depth.

Ashley and Co
Green and Co
Warburton
Pedro
Beale
Clement
Koppen
Stewart
Thelwell
Martin

Just to name a few.

Then there is the players where the list is too much to type.

We've had two years since 2012 where we have had reasonable success, 55 and EL final. The other 11 years have been the cause of the term banter years due to the names mentioned above.

Its complete incompetence.

19 Dec 2025 10:51:10
In fairness I always say at the start of any post, it's shared from Facebook and not mine, but I forgot on this occasion, so apologies 🙄.

19 Dec 2025 11:40:42
copy and paste with a few minor edits to make it look original?

19 Dec 2025 12:02:06
You do always do that sir Walter, fair play to ye mate 👍🏻.

19 Dec 2025 13:11:02
Koppen again🪃 many times do you need told, of all the players signed under his watch never never cost what we sold Igamane and Jefte for.

19 Dec 2025 15:12:37
It doesn't matter how much they cost. How many league titles did they win?

19 Dec 2025 16:19:08
Players he signed still Rangers players hopefully this season 🪃 you really know nothing about what Koppen done, still made us cash.

19 Dec 2025 22:20:10
How many titles did they win?

20 Dec 2025 05:58:19
Calling Koppen and Clement a pair of duds is nuts. Mental stuff.

18 Dec 2025 22:36:19
Funny how things get you thinking?

Ewan Chester — Walter Smith's old chief scout, the man who helped unearth some proper gems back in the day — was seen at the game the other night sitting with Archie Knox.

Now maybe it means nothing…
Or maybe, just maybe, it means a wee bit more than that.

This is the guy who worked hand-in-hand with Walter. Knows the standards. Knows the type of player that actually wins things at Rangers. Not hype signings, not punts for the sake of it — men who can handle the shirt.

If Chester's anywhere near advising, even informally, you'd hope it's about:

1. players with character

2. players who understand pressure

3. players who can play in front of 50,000 when it's going wrong

4. players who make others better

January is massive for us. We don't need numbers — we need the right profiles.

Seeing Chester beside Archie Knox, two men cut from the Walter Smith cloth, just gives you that wee feeling that maybe — just maybe — the club is starting to look back at what actually made us successful.

Men with Rangers at heart.
Men with pride.
Rangers men who know the job.

Let's hope they have a bit of input!
Thoughts? 👊🏻🇬🇧.

Ewan Chester is from my hometown of Barrhead, or at least he lived here whilst at Rangers.

Not seen him in many years. He must be a good age now?

Another good man from Barrhead then Stevie G and of course your good self my friend 👍Also as you will know mate, our former superb and successful Rangers manager alex 'big red' mcleish is from Barrhead also 👌Big Eck is an absolute gem of a guy total gentleman so he is and i love the big fella to bits 👍His dad alex senior was known in Barrhead as 'the barrhead blue nose' and was taken away far too young, bless him 🙏.

I'm from Borrheid too. Pity about Rumours shutting down.

19 Dec 2025 10:53:11
Before I get pulled up for this one too, I also forgot to state this is from the Facebook and not mine 🙄.

19 Dec 2025 12:07:19
It pulled up atall sir Walter, just a wee tongue in cheek banter mate. Absolutely not pulled up, your a great poster on here.

Whatsmyname, I hadn't drank in there for years mate but was member of the bus for a bit and also it was ma local for a good few years a while back. I was definetely a "bar fly" back in the day haha

Sad so many boozers having to close.

It's simple really, the money that land is worth these days compared to profits a bbusiness can realistically make is night and day

We have not enough homes and too many pubs in Barrhead so it's always going to go one way.

SirWalterMcCoist I said similar regarding the type of player required. Its a winning formula. We need people at the club in key positions that know our game and exactly what is required to be successful.

Right troops, If you go into the main building of Ibrox and wish to have a picture taken. Your are asked to stand on the first step of the marble stair case. Anyone know the reason why?

18 Dec 2025 22:39:54
The wee blue devil.

18 Dec 2025 23:01:58
Is it a thing? It Wasn't when I went. Got mine taken in middle of the staircase. If it is it's probably one of these traditions that just came from someone saying stand there so your not blocking the doorway and now lots do it. Unless it's something I missed.

18 Dec 2025 23:36:11
If you go any higher the noise of footsteps on the stairs might wake EHL who lives in the cupboard under the stairs.

18 Dec 2025 23:45:12
Answers on a postcard 😊

Photos are taken on the first step of the marble staircase to frame the shot properly, show the grandeur and portraits above, and preserve the heritage of the space.

19 Dec 2025 01:34:49
Don't know why troops need a post card. But the answer is a lot deeper.

19 Dec 2025 07:26:27
If there's a story behind it please tell horsey.

19 Dec 2025 07:37:05
White horse when i come to think of it when i sponsored michael Mols all those years ago now, i had my picture taken with Mols and my signed shirt, on the first step of the marble staircase 🤔 very interesting question my friend 🤔.

19 Dec 2025 08:26:37
Whitehorse - I think it might have a masonic reason.

Archibald Leitch who designed the main stand was a a freemason and the two pillars by the desk would represent Boaz and Jachin the two pillars to the entrance to King Solomons temple.

In the 2nd degree your introduced to the "Winding Staircase" and it would be showing on the 2nd degree tracing board. By standing on the first step you would be starting to ascend that staircase the same way you do through your degrees in freemasonry.

The ceiling of the entrance is painted light blue the same way as most lodge rooms to depict the sky.

Ellwood, caution brother, caution.

19 Dec 2025 09:53:29
I agreeLMAC.

Haven't really seen you post before
Nice to have you with us Brother 💙.

19 Dec 2025 12:12:18
Another 3 and we'll have a meeting Stig.

19 Dec 2025 12:13:48
Elwood that's a pretty good answer if ever I see one.

I'm against free masonry, that and elite Jewry seem to run the world, we're all just the workers for them.

I know that most masons don't have anything to do with that, its more so after the 33rd degree that the picture becomes clear to those who make it to that point.

My grandpa was actually 33rd degree mason, he was grand master for his area for many years.

19 Dec 2025 14:15:47
Whatsmyname,

That would be excellent, Brother. Should the Great Architect will it, may we soon be able to assemble and conduct our labours in due form. 🤭.

19 Dec 2025 16:24:09
Wasn't giving away to much or anything that a quick google search wouldn't bring up. but i understand Lmac and heed your caution. i was just giving a general over view of some of the symbolism that may be present that might not be apparent to some people unless explained.

I was also given this as the reason behind "Penny Arcade" being sung. A light shone in the night (lodge light being on when in work) blue, turned in to green, then it was red (mother lodge, provincial and then royal arch) as a means of progression. and the actual penny after doing the mark.

May or may not be factual but interesting none the less.

Warm Fraternal greetings to all Brethren over the festive period and good to know I'm in good company here!

19 Dec 2025 16:38:15
Elwood I was t sure if penny arcade was a reference to some sort of shooting incident by paramilitaries? That's one of the theory's I know that for sure but not 💯 if it's true? Anyone c.

19 Dec 2025 17:26:53
This is to Ellwod and StevieG. I posted last week, the reason Man City play in sky blue is their origins are steeped in freemasonry.

19 Dec 2025 17:36:21
Sorry for not including Stig, Lmao and SWS in that last post.

Ellwood, I attended scone and Perth in 2013 as IPM representing my lodge for a special meeting, think it was for lodges founded prior to 1600 or something, particularly enjoyed my quick visit "down the steps" in the temple 🤝🏻.
