This is a discussion about Alfredo, let the arguments stand. If others can punch a hole in the argument provided, let it stand. Such discussion makes us ALL stronger. Alfie has had it hard here in Scotland. Just go on the court convictions for launching coins, bottles, spitting, coffee cups, ..... etc at him at Fir Park, Easter Road, Love Street; then the banners at Pitoddrie in Spanish proclaiming his Mother to be a mattress, ra Sellik fans wanting him prosecuted for driving away from a planned ambush in a Glasgow underground car park, the hatred of PQ because he was precocious, .......... etc. He is the best striker we have had since McCoist and, he was THE best ie 357 career goals for Rangers. Boyd has impressive stats but, he failed in Europe and Walter did not trust him against ra Sellik, I believe he notched one goal. Alfie has doubled the total against ra green'n'grey hooped horrors and, collected 28 European goals, our all time best Euro scorer. It's akin to those old soul songs, you never missed your water 'till it's gone. The very fact Alfie fcuked with Michael Stewart's head for two years and BBC Scotland gave him all the rope. Irvine Welsh wanted him cut to pieces with a machette and, fed to seagulls and, he ran past Scott Brown and slapped him on the back of his napper .......... Ah, you gotta luv him?

Aye, that's exactly what it is. Us Rangers fans are a strange bunch. Player doesn't show emotion then we hate them, player clearly gets us and its "birthday card p1sh". Do you ever take a moment to think and reflect on why opposition fans hate Alfie so much? I can never work out why Rangers fans hate him though, a real mystery. We'll be a worse team without him.

Can’t be easy for a young chap whose first language isn’t English to do a press conference where many of the reporters asking questions can barely speak it themselves.

Morelos, is like datin a stripper. Fantastic fun when things are, but you know the crazy is just around the corner. Fredo has the crazy.

Naw, I’ll wear the cap of shame. The conical one with a D on it.

You been drinking with Compo and gisabeer?

The same can be said of Kent, as I have said many times. It is then on the management tactics, and fellow team mates, to expose those additional spaces.

No he doesn't.

Aye that's the feeling I get I knew him very well myself

My father was very friendly with the great man , he used to stay at our house in Tarbert , Loch fyne , for years he visited us and his stories were amazing . This question about the strip was asked numerous times and always he had the same answer , he had over the years sold dozens of these strips claiming it was the one he wore , I feel so sorry for so many people who bought them. In the end he was a really sad character .

Anyone who heard the audio clip that was leaked will hope he has a quick end to his career as a footballer and a life of misfortune.

That is so true in both respects but other players have got to exploit the space created.

Has anyone given the thought that he is now working under a manager whom he respects and can get the best out of him.His all round play has improved significantly since Beale's arrival. He will score/miss chances as all strikers do but given that he is usually two man marked opens up space for his fellow players.

Some folk just love a good moan.

That tweet is basically another piss take or a complete lack of self awareness. Play a decent game and score a couple of goals in Feburary and lets forget the preceding 6 months, it is child like. If he consistently held himself to what he mentions, he would be playing in a bigger league than Scotland and we would be over 20 Million sterling better off. What he is consistent in is self induced spells of very well paid don't give a fcuk, that contribute to our inconsistency of League results. We need a centre forward who we can rely on. The manager has talked about the summer and a new centre forward. Here is hoping he gets it right.

Do your talking on the park that’s what your employers pay you for .

Gotta luv the daft wee bugger. He is getting back to the form that saw him become our top European scorer and a forward who can rag doll defenders for fun. If he can get back to top form, I'd happily keep him.

Good luck replacing him for £1M - thats what we paid for him. He is a "package" and I think, and this is important in any discussion we have about any player, MB, understands and relies on what Alfie brings to the team and get the impression he is keen to keep Alfie. As for being unreliable, his longest absence from the team came when our former manager played Alfie when he was clearly injured leading to long lay off and argueably cost us the Europa League. However Rangers fans being Rangers fans, we wouldn't be happy if Haaland was playing up front for us.

Gordon was a very good broadcaster in his early years at Sportsound. He was an Aberdeen supporter. Fair enough. Born and brought up there, was he not? The notorious Sebo transfer incident was fed to him by a producer. Gordon said something to the effect that he would need to check with the producer before he read out the message and then that he had been given the go ahead. So, on the night he was by no means entirely to blame though he could have made his own decision not to read it. It was a disgraceful episode worthy of sackings. In their excitement the poisonous creatures thought they were insulting Rangers. In fact they were grossly insulting a young man plying his trade as best he could in a foreign country. Gordon and his programme went rapidly downhill after that.

I think you need to reread what he said mate 😂

The thing is, you don't actually have to take him as a whole package and I think that is what we are considering at the moment, we don't have to take him at all. Look back at his stats, they aren't that spectacular, for the last few seasons he has barely managed to break 10 goals in the league. He's certainly not banked enough to piss around as much as he does. He might have surpassed Boyd's goal tally for his first stint, but Boyd wasn't here as long as Morelos has been? And Boyd wasn't given the luxury of being the defacto number 1 striker in that time either. If we could get the Morelos that bothers his arse and works hard then I would sign him, but he's shown too often to me that he's happy to arse around whenever he feels like it. Unreliable is the word that comes to mind, inconsistent is something else.

Tbf I think Buster is simply saying the tweet is a distraction and is unimportant whatever way you choose to see it. What counts is what he does on the park and we've all seen that can be hugely inconsistent.

The wee Argie centre half at Man Utd seems to do a good job, despite being relatively small.

So a player now isnt allowed (or wanted) to post about the fact he scored two goals in a tough away game. Have we all become energy sponges ? Nothing wrong with him posting it.

Can't do it by himself.

He knew he left it somewhere, either at Chelsea, his yacht or the bookies 😃

He has been carrying an injury, according to Beale and I'd say he's been far better than 'mediocre' in the last few games. A lot of the players seemed disinterested during GvB's last few weeks/months.

Looks like Mr Cairney has made a speedy recovery

A good news story... https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23294192.bbc-radio-scotland-listeners-20-per-cent-since-2021/ "The figures published by the research body Rajar, show that nearly 196,000 people have turned off the national broadcaster over the last 12 months. In the final quarter of 2021, 976,000 people were tuning in, but by the same time last year that had fallen to 780,000, a 20.1 per cent drop."

Nothing wrong with the tweet. That kind if thing is just normal with footballers these days. More important is that he is serious about working hard. Big few months ahead for him.

I've never known an established Rangers striker who left as big a hole as expected when he left. There's always someone else. That said, I'd like to keep "good Morelos" and get rid of "bad Morelos" but I guess they come as a package.

He’s the best striker we’ve had since Ally McCoist. The stats prove this. Replacing him if he leaves would be just about impossible on our current budgets.

Do Rangers fans hate him? Not sure they do, I think a lot of fans are tired of him. Giving him another contract would be a huge gamble in my opinion.

Birthday card p*sh. Win silverware

Okay Alfie prove it by claiming the number 9 for the rest of this season and into next,please.
