I was wrong on every count. Ah well.

Fair enough, but it still doesn't matter. 'How it looks' is a distant second to 'get it fixed', after all.
-
I'm afraid the luxury of blaming it all on the media/worrying about how it will look in the media is past, dB. While the onlookers - those who aren't bored stiff already - will love it, there's no way to avoid it.

Difference there is he can wander off with a handsome cheque and never give a fuck again. Even the harshest critic of Ally the manager knows that's not the case for him.

I think it makes him between a rock and a hard place.

With the greatest of respect, you'll ignore any explanation you're given and ask the same question again and again unless you get an answer you agree with, so there's little point explaining 'exactly' or even broadly what the UoF, Sos exactly want. I don't mean to sound sniffy - well, I do, I suppose - but this is getting even more tedious than one of my articles, and that's saying something.

Scott Gemmill - Is This What We Need At Rangers
andy steel replied to chilledbear's topic in Rangers Chat
Yeah, it was intentional. I care not a jot, it's the first team I've ever seen a Scotland side get the benefit of a mistake! -

Not for the handball, he certainly did handle the ball before finishing. -
Such as 'unread posts' being discarded unseen? Perhaps he can sense rebel comments without reading them. In fairness, most people can sense his blogs will be chronic without reading them so perhaps he actually has a point.

There's no doubt that those who think that by renewing they are helping Rangers are doing so genuinely, and there's no doubt that those who think that not renewing are equally genuine. Suggesting 'the other side' needs to take a closer look or remember the football is a daft, personalising distraction which can't be proved online anyway & is therefore a total waste of time, other than to try to score a hit or something equally childish. Going back to some earlier posts about walk-up numbers being reasonable next season due to the calibre of the opposition, I haven't missed Hearts, Hibs or anyone else since we got the heave and the prospect of seeing them again next season fills me with no anticipation whatsoever. It's not as if we've moved to the conference and could face some decent sides playing decent football. It's just back to the same old crap teams I was bored rigid with antebellum.

What's that mean?

Scotland will be on this afternoon against Switzerland on Eurosport so judge for yourself how his side plays. -
To be blunt you've got the stick at the shit end. It's not terrifying that we could end up with never ending campaigns of demands, it's terrifying that we have to have them in the first place. People used to say Rangers were only ever two defeats away from a crisis, nowadays we're only ever two months away from oblivion. And that is not because of campaigns, or demands, or Dave Bloody King, it's because of the people who have been and are running our club. Into the ground.

Altho I do see the angle that this cuts the legs from under the 1972 move to get security in return for ST's, and as such represents a canny move by the cuckoos. When 1972 move the goalposts the outcry will be loud. But, given that they will have more or less achieved what they wanted here, chances are they will feel empowered to try again.

Some serious straw clutching going on here. Although I'd have been tempted to leave the room when Easdale walked in, engagement is engagement, even with him. So that's a positive. Chances are the stadium and possibly the training park will be safeguarded, which they most certainly were not previously, so that's a positive. The fans will surely be aware after this of the leverage they possess, so that's a positive. It defuses the moronic air of confrontation, so that's a positive. There's nothing here that merits anything other than a positive reception to something which, while by no means peace in our time or a universal panacea, is a grown up step in the right direction. Long may it continue!

oh ffs...'when will we get figures? why aren't we hearing figures?' here's some rough figures 'they're not accurate enough figures' go figure

No Black in that line up, that'll do me.

I recognise (form right) a slimline DJ, Gordon Smith, Sandy, Coop keeking out, and Tam Forsyth at the back. Who dat on Coop's right? In front of the mystery man is Alex MacDonald, behind him Colin Jackson & Alex Miller, to his right the GIrvan Lighthouse. Bobby Russell looking as uncomfortable as ever without a football at his toes, is it Derek Parlane with the tight perm? And the trio on the left of Tommy McLean, Ally Dawson and Gregor Stevens are joined by another one I don't recognise.

Well, I'll be the odd man out and say I thought we were rubbish. Without their keeper we've had lost 2-0 and deservedly so. Certainly Rangers got stronger as the game went on so fitness levels are good but the standard was very low, from both sides really. Halkett did look strong and I thought Gasparotto also knows the basics about positioning and movement so has a chance. Burrows has pace but - based on the chance McKay set him up with - needs a lot of work on composure. FB's looked very ordinary, midfielders did look good at the end but when Hearts were fresh struggled. All in all I was disappointed. If that's the standard of a good u-20 side I'd hate to see the others.
-
is their keeper a Bluenose?!
-
Pish from both teams. Nothing in the future to get excited about, I fear.
-
Bit torn between wanting to go and not wanting to go to that wee shitehole.

It was the teaching staff who took football out the schools with a work-to-rule in the early to mid 80's which saw school teams collapse to virtually nothing. If there's a comeback it's from the dead. We weren't that much worse than the Germans yesterday, once our team got over their inferiority complex. We weren't great but neither was Jerry, in all honesty.

Summer transfer window: Official ins/outs and transfer rumours
andy steel replied to Zappa's topic in Rangers Chat
Careful, now. -
Aye, there's always someone worse off than yourself right enough.
