if they had any faith in the initial decision they would not have provided the offside stuff later. But they want us to have faith in that level of incompetence. magic

Its a saving face exercise... Their fans won't be happy if they're perceived to let Shankland go without a fight, so offering him a contract, the biggest contract they can, shows they've put up a fight. They can then blame Shankland for refusing to sign and wanting to leave if he goes

*YOU get an EBT! YOU get an EBT!

Barisic played 2 blinders against us especially the 2nd leg match at Ibrox. I recall raving about their fullback with the bandaged head.

Wait and see

Are folk still going on about Shankland? It's not happening.

so in other words we were never in a month of Sundays going to be remotely in for him

"Winter Training Camp"? In the south of Spain? Pah!! "FC Midtjylland players tackle endurance test in the Cairngorms The footballers, in the middle of their league’s winter break, had to make their own fires and were given rifles to hunt deer for food," "The idea to expose the team and management to punishing conditions came from FC Midtjylland’s “mentality coach” Bjarne Slot Christiansen, a former soldier with the Danish special forces." I think that @compo might approve of this, unless, of course, shelters and sleeping bags are a bit girly. FC Midtjylland players tackle endurance test in the Cairngorms The footballers, in the middle of their league’s winter break, had to make their own fires and were given rifles to hunt deer for food Michael Grant, Mark Walker Thursday January 18 2024, 12.01am, The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/danish-giants-fc-midtjylland-face-endurance-test-cairngorms-scotland-wwqzmjq5r One of Denmark’s leading football teams made a three-day visit to the Highlands, where players had to endure freezing temperatures and hunt for their own food in an extreme team-bonding exercise. While clubs from other European leagues usually head to the sun during their winter break, FC Midtjylland, who sit top of the Danish Superliga, sent their footballers on a gruelling trip to the Cairngorms. The squad were based near Inverness and stayed on the Glenfeshie estate, owned by Anders Holch Povlsen, the Danish billionaire who owns the clothing chains Jack & Jones and Vero Moda and is the largest shareholder in Asos. Povlsen also owns FC Midtjylland, as well as tens of thousands of acres in the Scotland countryside. The idea to expose the team and management to punishing conditions came from FC Midtjylland’s “mentality coach” Bjarne Slot Christiansen, a former soldier with the Danish special forces. Players had to make their own fires and were given rifles to shoot deer, otherwise they would have had almost no food. The club’s social media channels show footage of the players walking on snow-capped mountains, braving sub-zero temperatures and heating oatmeal. They were collected and brought back from one summit by helicopter. Povlsen, known as the richest man in Scotland, owns about 220,000 acres of land. The businessman is embarking on one of the largest rewilding projects, which could take at least 200 years. Sites owned by Povlsen and his wife, Anne, in the Cairngorms were used last autumn to rewild beavers in the area for the first time in 400 years. Christiansen admitted he pushed the football team to the limit but had ensured the players all returned safely to their home city of Herning in the Jutland peninsula. “There are some who are tired, and there have also been some who have burned out completely,” he said. “But of course they come home. It is extremely hard. When we are under the most pressure, we find out that we can do more than we really think.” Head coach Thomas Thomasberg said: “It was so cold that we couldn’t feel our hands and feet.” Kristoffer Olsson, the club’s former Arsenal midfielder, said the players had been left entirely to their own devices in the wild and they had been too cold to enjoy the scenery. “It’s an experience we won’t forget any time soon. We were out on long hikes in Scotland and we had to find our own food, where to sleep, water, everything,” Olsson said. “For me the worst thing is that you didn’t get anything to eat. We got some food one day and that was it. It was truly a test, both mentally and physically. We slept in a shelter in sleeping bags, but it wasn’t so easy to fall asleep because it was really cold. “It was so beautiful with the mountains and hills. But honestly, we didn’t have the energy to enjoy it. We were worn out and it was just about survival. It was nice to come back and get some warmth and food. Then you started to feel like a person again.” The team’s experience was filmed for a three-part documentary with the Danish broadcaster TV Midtvest. Whether the extreme approach will do them any good will become clear on Friday, when the team play a friendly match against their rivals Aalborg. Midtjylland are nicknamed The Wolves and have been the champions of Denmark three times, most recently in 2020. They lost to Rangers in the 2019-20 Europa League qualifiers and beat Celtic in a Champions League qualifier in 2021-22. Scottish Championship side Partick Thistle attracted ridicule in 2018 when their manager at the time, Gary Caldwell, arranged for players to spend a day with the Parachute Regiment. The exercise got out of hand as players were subjected to a mock “kidnapping”, with one running away only to be hauled back by four soldiers, while another broke down in tears. Players were forced to wear ear muffs and blindfolds and were placed in head-locks by soldiers.

Feck drinking that shit!!, or Tennents!.

I've always viewed Barisic as one of those players we signed at a time we couldn't afford anyone better and who only found a berth at Rangers because our chaotic management merry go round prevented us from improving the squad as we should have done. Otherwise Barisic would surely have been long gone. That he survived for 6 years is testament to the wasted opportunities this club has endured.

Odd...I was sure this was going to be a glowing success. I mean who doesn't want to live in a giant 900 degree sandbox filled with ultra-religious weirdos? I mean COME ON! You can't please everyone I guess.

IDK. If you're sad, if you can't pay your bills, your car broke down, kid's on the glue...the list goes on. It is ultimately up to you to take the steps to go fix it. TBF I have just known some mopey, miserable bastards. Men spent their lives lookin like they just ate a shit sandwich...lots and lots now I think of it...military has that effect. Life has the possibility of being that for some folks though. I only knew one guy who offed himself....well 1.5 Kinda didn't know the other guy...mopey bastard just kinda kept to himself. He worked over in analysis...NERD! Either way, the ultimate point is this. People need to do the leg work themselves. I am not some empath who can shake a man's hand and know he is sad because his wife burned his mashed potatoes then humped his brother. Besides, If a man smiles too much or is really nice all of a sudden, it's kinda weird. Daddy always said (accurately IMO) he wants to do one or all of three things. Rape you, rob you, or give you religion. I got no time for none that shit.

Only been init once didn’t really get a look around but there’s always venues needed for functions small pop concerts and probably a host of other things get it rented out when not being used

Seriously? Judging NEH on the basis of which beers it sells?

Luton next at home. I recall when the Hatters were cup-finalists, losing to Forest. Tie of the round is at the Hawthorns with Wolves visiting.

I'm sure you're correct stat-wise, but his passing and and closing down has very little to do with who he has on his right hand side, and both of those parts of his game looked alien to him. I'm far from a Barasic hater, he's been a good servant for us, but I'm afraid his time is over.

https://candcgroupplc.com/brands The futility of consumer activism. Just wait until a bigger drinks company acquires this one.

Tennents put a lot of money into rangers. Same company.

yeah EL team of the season suggests that.

Put your money on a new contract for Barasic and Yilmaz still to be here

In 2024, surely just calling them names, or even threatening to call them names, should be enough. Club Statement and Trigger Warning: We will be delighted to welcome you to Ibrox Stadium. Please be aware that you will be subject to invective, which, while unerringly accurate, will be unpleasant for you to hear. We are unable to provide a 'safe space' for those who cannot deal with the truth.

Yes sir! A peg that can drop a ball on a gnat's ass from 40 yards out, plus he can reach ALL the cans at Asda.

He doesn't hang around anywhere for very long, does he, 5 clubs in 3 years is some going. Surely this can only be a loan, there's no way we're spending £10 million plus on a left back. I'd never heard of him before now but having played for Slavia and Benfica you'd expect him to be of a decent standard.

He's like a combination of the best bits from our current 2 left backs.

We don't need anyone to step in let alone the "league authorities " the same "league authorities " who did nada when they allowed that shower of shite to dictate the narrative. We are in no better a position to guarantee their "precious little fans" safety, nothing has change since they refused their last allocation, they can go F themselves. Perfectly happy with this new arrangement.

SPFL Rules:

Exactly....poor guy just tryin to enjoy the game but Richard Simmons there is gettin waaaaaay too handsy. You see this is what I learned a long time ago. You can pick your ticket but you can't pick who sits next to you. Always plan strategically Donald W. Reynolds Section W104 Mrs Me |Aisle| [Bathroom] [Beer Booth]. Razorbacks. [[[Peace. ]]]

Insanely overrated...limited skill set, phoned it in for large portions of his Rangers career. His level is Blackpool, or Wigan. League one, two...some smaller Championship clubs perhaps? Never cared for him. TBF Liverpool fleeced us.
