The main overall objective for most I think was to turn the clubs fortunes around and create a base from which we have a chance to get our title back asp. This was done in very difficult circumstances and there were and still are various battles to overcome. I think there has been a great effort by an amazingly loyal support attending football matches. Club 1872 and it's members, despite predictable teething problems have also stepped up and contributed greatly. Kudos to the board and Dave King for making the move in 2015 and directing many of those ongoing battles. This particular story is a step of what was a structured debt strategy talked about by DK back in 2015. We needed DK, DP, GL, GT and others. They needed the support.

I couldn't give a flying fuck about the Scottish national team/s or any other Scottish teams.

Aye sorry lads I’ve been blocked on posting news on two deals Can’t say a thing, both are out there Have told the site boss but I have been silenced on blog also So we will see what happens ?

Good luck. But I’ll not be watching nor waiting anxiously for the score.

We could do with a few overrated Laudrup types again

That's a a difficult question to answer for me as there are too many variables to make the conclusion accurate. I said recently on the Gersnet Podcast, my own favourite Rangers player was Richard Gough but clearly he was a very different character and player to Laudrup. In terms of sheer entertainment and skill on the ball, then it's difficult (in the modern era at least) to think of better than Laudrup. I'm sure some of our elder Gersnet statespeople will point to Morton, Baxter or Cooper for that crown but perhaps we should just be content to remember the positive contribution of all our heroes instead of looking to find negativity where none need exist.

A decent debate question is - was Laudrup better then Gascoigne? For me its a yes.

Unquestionably, the best player I've ever seen at Rangers

Ha, someone poked Stevie-4lads Blog with a blue-hot iron!

Oxford - why? Marseilles - paying the cheats who robbed us of a Champions League final place? Disgusting! Blackburn - meh Thankfully I didn’t tick the box to get these automatically, really angry we are playing the Froggy cheats. Shows a total lack of understanding of our history which is hugely disappointing.

Top trolling by @JohnMc with the profile pic!

HollandHolland They're going home. They're going home, England's going home.

Agreed! who actually cares?

Our manager spoke about marquee signings.

It's 'chavs' in England. Some lads like a scrap and drink usually exacerbates this, hence they get even more animated when abroad. A bit like some of our own in Manchester 11 years ago.

Listening to one of the English women last week going on about them having a good world cup and that should help them get parity with the men then another one who reckons because they're women the pitch should be smaller and smaller goals as women are not as big as men and playing eighty minutes with a longer half time period. Wont be long until it goes the way of tennis the same money for less work . Whatever happened to netball ?

They tend to have good info consistently. Worth a follow

Snatched from FF ... @estconcultancy on twitter —Club reported to have made an offer to Swedish international left back Martin Olsson. He would be a bosman signing. Dunno how ITK these chaps were /are.

Not sure about the ages but I coach 8/9 year olds for a school team and it's mixed. Not sure how it works elsewhere tbh

It’s tough, really tough but please understand I do it for the love of the sport!........

King played a blinder. Why do you think he didn't want club 1872 giving soft loans?

I just don't get it. I would kill for a few days of football watching, a few beers and some nice grub in lovely city like Porto. I have an English mate who used to follow England a lot and then he got up in all the nonsense in France at the Euros (Nice I think?) and he's done with it. Football tournies like this should be celebration not an excuse to vocalise some warped and ignorant display of English identity. It's baffling

Top, top quality player when he's fit. Which isn't very often.

won't be long now until we can start wheeling and dealing its all down to the board to provide sufficient funds and to make sure any player leaving gives us a nice handsome transfer fee to reinvest in a few quality players to try and push us on .

All for differing opinions but Laudrup wasn't over-rated. Yes, he perhaps was never truly an elite player (and if you're playing with Rangers then it suggests you have some weaknesses compared to the very best) but he was fantastic for us and for Denmark so he was definitely levels above most typical Scottish/Rangers class players. Perhaps he was let down by other areas of the team at the time he played for us when it comes to our struggles in Europe but, in Scotland, he was unplayable for the vast majority of his time here and he'll always be a (or the) focal point of one our most successful periods in Scottish football.

More deflection from the SNP. Shameful, but indicative of the party's moral compass.

I guess it depends on your definition of world class, and people could argue about that all day. Goram was world class, and arguably Butcher and possibly Gough were. However I would say that Laudrup is the best player to play in Scotland over the last 50 years, and arguably ever.

I thought I'd put this 'debate' into its own thread, and keep the transfer rumours thread free for... transfer rumours. Get a move on Stevie-boy!

Did a song at a football match ever actually hurt a single person....EVER? Because the paedo ring at Separate Entity FC ruined quite a few lives and resulted in at least one suicide. And has Tom English ever paid to get into a Scottish football match?
