Maybe I'm wrong but is it not a world cup tie so we have to under FIFA rules?
-
Fergie and Mendes are a bit like the Gerrard-Lampard debate. They both want to play in the same areas. For me when Thomson is back, it's one or the other. As the younger man, I'd go with Mendes. I don't think Davis is wasted wide right-that goal he got v Falkirk came from him cutting in on the left!

I always had Goughie marked own as a dead cert for future Rangers manager - in the days when there seemed no shortage of candidates. Even now I wonder...what on earth went wrong with his mangerial career. He had a spell at Livingston to learn the ropes then what? As Norris said, he has all the qualities to be a Rangers manager. I think McCoist lacks a certain gravitas - can't say that about Gough.

[ there's also an awful lot of dirt on him, not just through the tommy sheridan shenanigans Eh? Tell me, I've never heard that one.:devil:

For almost the first time I can remember we have a really good crop of promising youngsters but WS seems afraid to play them. If EPL managers can see the quality we've got - and Redknapp isn't the first - then it is a crime not to give them 20 minutes here and there, maybe in CIS cup games for example. This is what Wenger and Fergie do and they have got much bigger squads than us. If we let the Flecks and the Wilsons go with out giving them a proper chance then it is really the end of a great club. Rangers FC - 'Elephant's graveyard.'

Is it really such a dream? They say you never forget your first love:)

Is that true? If Webster really is match-fit then then that was unforgiveable.

Pardon me for starting a new thread, but I'm just overwhelmed with the novelty of a Gers team in which everyone bar McCulloch is playing in their normal position! And we're already one-up (Lafferrty)

Herald: Former Conservative Leader Sees Through Sectarianism Sham
alexscottislegend replied to Wija's topic in Rangers Chat
This is an interesting point. What would the attitude be of most bears if the Union was dissolved, I have often wondered. I actually agree with you that an independent Scotland would be disastrous; the SNP are nothing more than Tartan tories. Nevertheless, I wouldn't be surprised to see an independent Scotland in my lifetime. Question is -would it be a genuine state for the working man or another, smaller dog-eat-dog type of system? And as Sroomz says, there is no difference between New Labour and Tories -both are equally and totally corrupt. No wonder more folk fail to vote. -
No, he's not the player we need...
-
Flippin' eck. I saw that headline and I thought: Who's trying to take Walter away from us.? Should have realised, though - Walter is not ambitious.
-
And does that mean we will have Ally as manager then? Much as I love him, that thought fills me with horror. Which brings me back to who could we get, who is available and who would take the job? My favourite would be Martinez from Swansea (someone, sorry can't remember who first suggested him). Other than that, Billy Davis.

League Priority now for the Double!!!
alexscottislegend replied to Gers4Life's topic in Rangers Chat
Hate to say this but Barry Ferguson - is this the beginning of the end for him? Can't remember him having a good OF game to be honest. We need Thomson back now more than ever. Mendes - today his passing was awful, but whether he will be the player we all want is now debatable. Walter HAS to win the league now, -
Boyd out of cup final after bust-up with Walter
alexscottislegend replied to ascender's topic in Rangers Chat
I loved last season too. Great to get away from the parochialism of Scotland and see our club's name paraded around Europe. Yes the football was backs-to-the-wall, but with the players we had, Alex Ferguson or Guus Hiddink could not have done more. You can criticise WS for buying them, but he was and is hamstrung with the financial constraint we now operate in. To say he could have bought better or used other tactics is another argument altogether. Last season IMO was still a success. This season not winning the title will be a disaster. -
Sadly missing from action on Sunday......
alexscottislegend replied to maineflyer's topic in Rangers Chat
Unfortunately I'm posted hundreds of miles away so not able to get to Ibrox sadly. But I certainly wouldn't be frightened; I've had a fixed penalty charge for saying a naughty word in the presence of - but not directly at - a not-too-friendly plod. But they couldn't do much against 40,000 bears, as I've said before. It's likely they'll pick on some poor sod as a test case. In that instance we should all help by making donations, organising petitions, whatever. -
Problem is if he goes we have to find TWO top-notch defenders, because we cannot rely on Weir much longer. That was the situation too when Cuellar left.

Sadly missing from action on Sunday......
alexscottislegend replied to maineflyer's topic in Rangers Chat
The Billy Boys will never return as a result of some challenge in court. Disagree with you here. I think the only way this nonsense will end is to have it out once and for all. TBB is assuredly political as any half-decent lawyer could easily aver. The 'sectarian' tag is conveniently added by our enemies to try to make it actionable and it this which should be challenged. In any event, if a law is a bad law then we have a duty to defy it. These corrupt morons in power only govern with the consent of us, the people. The Poll Tax laws were unjust so they were resisted. They cannot jail 40,000 people for singing a song when paedophiles walk free from court and the likes of Mandelson can spend thousands of pounds of taxpayers money on flowers FFS. -
Naismith and Lafferty as a partnership for Sunday, anyone? Interesting to see Webster and Smith featuring - that's almost a first X1

When do we start enjoying Celtic's cup exit?
alexscottislegend replied to maineflyer's topic in Rangers Chat
Once the initial euphoria had died down, I started to think: that means they now have less games than us this season, so less chance of getting injuries. Maybe it would have been better if we were not in the cup and they were? I know that's heresy to some but it's just that I want the league title so badly. Anything less is a disaster. -
Be interesting to see who the 'eight' actually are. If you took a straw poll among most Gers fans they would probably be: McCulloch,Dailly,Adam,Gow,Miller,Whittaker,Lafferty and maybe Weir. One thing I know for sure is we can't afford to lose Bougherra,Davis, Mendes or Novo. And maybe McGregor. Oh, and we need to keep Thomson. Just can't make my mind up about Ferguson.

Think that's what I need to do. Anyone ever tell you you're a gem?

I've tried several times when responding to posts to highlight selected areas, but all I do is end up deleting it. Or I delete the parts I don't want and it just comes out in b&w. I want get selected parts in highlighted blue. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? O.k. I admit to being a dinosaur when it comes to 'techy' things. Somebody help me please.

Cammy - if that were true there would be no problem. The problem is that we know Fifa want to have just one U.K. voting voice, and we can't trust them - look at Blatter's recent comments to an SFA official. And I don't think Gordon Smith would oppose it just to be awkward.

Can you honestly say that, man for man, we are not better than our East End cousins? Yet they keep snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. What does that tell us?
