Not the point, either him or the player tackling should have been shown at least a yellow depending on who the ref seen as being guilty of the foul. rules are rules.

Rangers fan: 'I'd like to get Cummings through the door; good player' *plays 15 minutes* Rangers fan: 'He's f*ckin' sh*te!'

Again, written as a License Fee Paying Rangers supporter. Last evening, the entire AberTic team were at Dens Park, providing commentary on the Dundee-Hibs game. Thus Richard Gordon, Liam McLeod, Wullie Miller, and Chris McLaughlin indulged in faux excitement at Neil Lennon's approach to total football. The game of the night at Ibrox was covered by Rob McLean in front of a TV inside PQ. Martin Dowden(proclaimed a good Sellik man by Annie McGuire) was at New Douglas Park, promising an interview with Acas Chairman, Ronnie McDonald. Listening whilst driving, Rangers were mentioned after ten minutes when Big Dick introduced Martin Dowden and spoke matters Acas. We were told speculation reference Docherty should be resolved at 19.30hrs with Martin's interview. Crystal Palace had inquired that morning and may provide a twist? Wishful thinking was dismissed a few minutes later when Big Dick informed the listenership that Rangers have signed Greg Docherty for a fee believed to be in the region of 600k. However, according to their sources, nowhere near that figure has been handed over at the moment. Perhaps more will emerge in the next few days? The next tool to be used by Big Dick was Derek Ferguson, "you've raved about Greg Docherty for the last few seasons". The former Ranger eulogises the player and Big Dick springs, "ah know Acas staff have been amazed at his lack of recognition from those selecting Scotland's under 21s, maybe that will change now"? Derek takes the barb and laments that how it was in his day, and it's probably the same now. Big Dick ends with, "we'll see". I was attending the game, thus cannot report on their coverage. I heard the half-time report on my radio and it was a few lines from Rob McLean, obviously events at Ibrox could not compete with excitement at Dens. After the game, both walking back to my vehicle and driving back to deepest, darkest Lanarkshire, I listened intently for the opposition's manager's post-match interview with Big Dick. These last several weeks, BBC Radio Scotland has improved their coverage of games at Ibrox by calling the opposition manager for thoughts on the game, or to reinforce Big Dick's whims. I have heard both Martin Canning and Tommy Wright deliver deserved praise to their sides, and Owen Coyle complain bitterly about a refused last minute penalty. I sat in my drive way for the last few minutes of the show waiting on Derek McInnes. It was a no show, thus I must wonder if this new facet of coverage is on;y for victorious managers or those with a grievance? Big Dick's main concern post-match, was the well being of Dons Keeper, Joe Lewis. Several updates on his leg injury, although no mention on whether he should have been yellow/red carded. Remember, this from a genial host reduced to broadcasting a list of incidents involving Rangers players(well, mainly Ryan Jack) that might interest the Compliance Officer. At the game, those Dandy Dons remaining in attendance saw their Keeper injured and a penalty awarded, then immediately sang, 'nice one Simmie'. Reminds me of Big Dick several years past, "people forget, there were two victims of that tackle". I suspect Big Dick is as confused as his fellow Dandies at the Loving Cup ceremony? Booing Broxy Bear is one thing, but chorusing ridicule on an eighty-odd year ceremony commemorating a colliery disaster! At least they are consistent, something Pacific Quay are not.

Somebody on Twitter was less aggressive than you and only asked for 16.90 million

That was a great quip from Peter Crouch. When asked what he'd be if he wasn't a professional footballer, he replied "a virgin".

He needs to stop missing sitters.

Willie and Jim Baxter were my favourite players. Great entertainment.

Should have been a red

Wes in goal. If that was a CL Final he'd easily be portrayed as the best keeper in the world, so he'll just have to accept for now, at least, he's the best keeper in the SPL. A stunning display by the big man.

Craig, the RST raised £250k in under a week in 2012 because people knew it was going directly to the Club so it’s achievable.

That made me smile. They seem extremely angry.

Agreed. Surely a new signing deserves a thread of it's own.

Aye nae bother, geez 25million and he's all yours.

The more I listen to young Murty the more I like him I am glad he is our coach things can only get better .

I'd the misfortune to listen to the tranny last night. I'd foolishly assumed we'd get an 'as-live' commentary from the studio and was stunned when I realised the Hibs/Dundee match was being covered. They cut to Rob McLean when we scored and they half-heartedly admitted Morelos was in decent form and having a good season. The second half was much the same, cutting away to other grounds if someone scored. The radio gave the impression of a more even contest than those in attendance have since told me it was. It's farcical that second against third isn't the match to receive live commentary.

Yeah, I seem to remember something about that being brought up, maybe up a couple of years ago (penalty + sending off + suspension being deemed too harsh a punishment) not sure where (or if it was ever) adopted though. Lewis wasn't even booked though, which I'd say was a definite case of over-leniency.

Thought that was quality mate too. Have to say he is starting to win me around

I do reverse jinxes

Very hard to pick just one player to be honest. Could easily have been Wes or Holt but Tav's overall contribution in attack and defence means he has to get it.

Thought we were excellent tonight all over the park. You could make an argument for 3 or 4 players being man of the match but for me Tav was excellent. Get that boy a new contract. He’s improving defensively as well. All the new boys played well and the team looks a lot more balanced having a natural left winger in the side. Considering they haven’t played a lot of football this season they all stepped up. I thought the sheep were terrible. But that was down to every one of our players doing their job. Last ten mins we were shaky but that was down to Holt moving forward and Halliday playing a position he can’t really play. Need to follow that up and try go on a good run to put pressure on the bheasts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No he didn't. Could easily have been a red, but nothing was given.

The ref was absolutely shocking yet again!, we have players out injured because opposition players are allowed to assault our players!

I've got both Amazon and Netflix. Both are pretty good value at the moment and their unique content is growing. Yes, online only but new smart TVs here have built in apps to access them. Amazon have dipped their toe in the sports water already with some NFL and ATP rights. Internet TV will grow significantly over the next 10 years.

Pretty much agree aside from maybe they looked garbage because we were just too god for them? We had pace to burn in comparison to them which all on it's own made them look bad.

Aberdeen weren't in the game they had one chance in the first half which McKay-Steven hit straight at Fod and by the time we were 2-0 in the second half they had been reduced to shooting from long range. The last 10 mins Murty changed tactics to see the game out and also changed the personnel with Halliday the sitting midfielder thats what happened. As far as wasteful in front of goal is concerned Windass had one shot saved on the line, one shot tipped over the bar in an excellent save by the keeper, won a penalty then got subbed. Morelos scored one missed a couple that he should have buried in the second half and came off pretty annoyed that he hadn't done better. We didn't have many more clear cut chances than that. We had a few that looked like they could have turned into chances but the player on the ball was either forced wide, covered by a defender or last ditch lunges/clearances put the ball out for corners etc. McCoist would often miss four maybe five score one or two from nine, ten possible chances. I'm much more concerned when we're not creating chances to be honest. We played well controlled the game and should have been two nothing up at half time. That didn't happen obviously but we did win the game two nothing and it could have been much worse for them as we made them look ordinary, they were garbage.

But we weren't 3 or 4 up by half time. We were very wasteful in front of goal. We were never out of sight in that game tonight despite dominating the game. Until we finish off teams like we should have done tonight we can forget about winning the title

Really enjoyed that. It wasn't just a win tonight, it was a lesson. We were able to control the game and showed that we can shut up shop to some degree and then change our system during different phases of the game. Having now hammered them 3 times this season, we really now must push on and create a big gap. I just have a feeling we can achieve that with our new players. Goss, Martin and Murphy all look like they're born to play for us. I know there's no chance of us keeping Goss but I just hope he enjoys his time here because you never know what might happen a year or two further down the line. He looks absolute class. Windass is still blowing hot and cold. If he could maintain a level of performance for even 60 minutes he'd be amazing for us, but he seems to fall out of the game for too many periods. Maybe it's concentration, but whatever it is I hope he can be trained to deal with it. However, when he's on his game, he's so dangerous in that position. Tav, Holt, Fod are becoming standout players for us now and it'll be difficult to hold onto them if they continue to perform like that. It's inevitable that they'll get more attention now. Things are really positive for us at the moment. I just hope we can keep this momentum for the rest of the season. You just never know what might happen if we do.

Can we play the sheep every week?

Good performance throughout the whole team. I think that we will continue to improve under Murty and as key players come back from injury. Spare a thought for Murty though. I saw him casting an envious glance at McInnes near the end. I think Murty realises that all he has is 9 points from 9 against Aberdeen whereas McInnes has a great relationship with his boss.

I've probably rambled on about this before frosty, dark wednesday at Cathkin.....wee wully ran riot, won 4 or 5...2. Tannoy playing Telstar George Young was Thirds manager Think wully was only in the team because Alex Scott was on international duty......maybe He was guest speaker at the inaugural annual dinner of the RST....talked about the real madrid game, came round and met everybody wee man, big character
