  1. 'Timosapiens' - must add that one to my collection.
  2. Accies just had a perfectly good goal disallowed. Still, seems our goal difference remains intact - and that could be important.
  3. Disagree. It's the TA that need educating; they need Rangers contribution far more than that of any other club - half the Scotland players are in our squad, think about it. How many indispensables hail (sorry, no pun) from the East Side? The same club who pulled ALL their players from the Kirin Cup so they could play in a testi-effin'-monial? John Greig: Rangers AND Scotland Jim Baxter: Rangers AND Scotland Davie Cooper: Rangers AND Scotland Sorry, I don't want to see Scotland slide to the level of Luxembourg just because we want to preserve our club's integrity. We are the boys in (different) shades of blue.
  4. This is my 1,000th post coming up, so go easy on me. Always respected Craig Brown, but here I totally disagree with him. I think the issue with Boyd was more to do with Burley rather than Scotland per se. Levein said recently he's met him and likes him. Try as I might I just cannot see a better partnership for Scotland than Boyd and Miller; I've written the latter off many times but his first goal v Motherwell was a peach.
  5. If I remember rightly, he was signed when we still had Hutton. Was not the plan that he would play wide right with Hutton at RB rather than a like-for-like replacement? Like Andy, I would hate to see his career take a nosedive after all the great goals he's given us (and not just the Lisbon one either).
  6. You're forgetting that we will STILL need a CB because Weir is slowing down. Wilson and Webster, anyone? How about Barr at Falkirk? Can't be too dear if anything is left of the Majid money.
  7. I hope you're right about that. I've been influenced by an article in the Evening times the other day. You'd think I would have learnt by now not to trust Scottish journalists.
  8. It would mean we would have to play 3 rounds, one of which would be against a team the standard of Arsenal or Liverpool.
  9. I hope our green and white friends win tomorrow - I really do. And before anyone accuses me of base apostasy, let me explain: Y'see, it's all about the co-efficient. If Scotland lose out to near rivals Belgium in the rankings, one CL place only will be up for grabs - and even that will entail not automatic entry but 3 difficult qualifiers. And yet I hear that Mowbray is thinking of fielding a weakened team! WTF? It would not benefit them if they win the league, god forbid.
  10. That's a good point. Knowing et al, I bet we didn't.
  11. I have lived in spain and can say that the police have never quite shaken off their Franco fascist past. They seem to think they are a class apart.
  12. Exactly - and why was that? If they could not do anything in Europe no other Gers team could. I suggest it was because psychologically everything was about beating C****c - pathetic.
  13. Caption competition:"Get your hand in your pocket, Tom". "And bring your pal David Beckham as well."
  14. I agree. It's tacky and vulgar. Surprised Arsenal with their dignified history went for it.
  15. If that is the perception, then you wonder why they come here on trial in the first place? And we should be persuading them that they have a fantastic shop window here; that they would have a better chance of first team football with us (see D. Wilson) than the multi-million pound spending big four?
  16. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1234021/Liverpool-boss-Rafa-Benitez-set-tie-deal-Icelandic-starlet-Kristjan-Gauti-Emilsson.html So he was apparently on trial with us and we failed somehow to spot his potential. How come he's good enough for L'Pool and not us? Are our coaching staf really on the ball? I think we should be told.
  17. Hey, just suppose this supporters' scheme goes ahead. Some of our detractors might see it as an ideal example of workers' control and democratic management. It could set a dangerous precedent. Imagine the country or HBOS being run like this.:devil:
  18. Good article from Hateley:totally agree.
  19. I used to actually want RoI to win, being as they were a neighbour and all that. Now after the way the've behaved, I'd actually want England to thrash them.
  20. So being left-wing is incompatible with being a Rangers supporter? Since when?
  21. Surely we could get much more for him AFTER the World Cup when his profile will be raised?
  22. While I always thought Gough was manager material, I cannot agree with his suggestion that we need a few 'nasty' characters. I don't see how John Brown or Ian Ferguson would improve our current side; in their day they had ball players like Laudrup and Gazza to supplement their aggression. what we lack now is artistry and class - like the aforementioned Hleb. And we have big Lee to represent the street-fighting ingredient.
  23. If you Google 'Graham Duffy' - Grantly you will find the link at the top of the list; the company seems to be the Florida-based property company, not the U.K. ones listed in the RM article. Wherever that makes any difference or not, I'll leave that to the likes of Bluedell, who are more qualified than most of on here to judge.
  24. Wasn't calling you a Jeremiah actually, though it could have seemed that way. Just referring to the general malaise enveloping us right now. On the surveilance issue, the UK has the most spy cameras anywhere in Europe.
