What's the matter with you all? Don't you want us to actually BUILD a team for once? Or are you only concerned with getting as much money as you can? If we sell the likes of Mendes and Bougherra - our only real marketable assets - then we might have, say. �£10 million but what kind of a team can we get for that? If we get bargains then we'll only look to sell them on.. and so forth. While you're about it, why not cash in on Fleck? It's not as if he'll get to play for us.. A little thing called ambition, lads.

The only thing he has going for him is a decent left foot and can on occasions hit a good free kick. I'm struggling to remember the last one though. No pace, no dribbling ability, not even a good tackler. The left side is without doublt our Achilles' hee. Gentlemen, I give you the answer: one Kris Commons - I think we could afford him.

Annoyingly, the RFC website also refers to us as the Light Blues. Over the years our strips have got lighter. The current one is not bad, but sometimes in the light it seems more light than Royal Blue for me.

Motherwell 0 : 0 Rangers - Player Ratings and MoM Poll

On a grim night the only plus for me was that McGregor - whom we all worried about - seems to be getting back to his best form. -
Auction: Postcards describe Ibrox disaster
alexscottislegend replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
As John Barr says, it isn't talked about much now which always irks me. It was only a few years before Hillsborough and only about 20 or 30 less people died. Sorry - just realised refers to 1902 - but still thinik the 66 version attracts not enough attention compared to Hilsborough. -
Yep, saw the programme and knew the story but there seems to be some confusion about whether he played for Rangers or not. What actually happened was he signed professional for us in 1914 but didnt get to play because of the outbreak of war. So I think we can claim him as one of our own. Incidentally we had an Egyptian on our books in about 1908 i think, name of Mohammed Latif.
-
He claims it was Lee McCulloch but then why would he do that to him? Hope burley takes note and begs him to come back. The goal v Thistle and the one on saturday show he doesn't just do 'ordinary ' goals.
-
Just a question - who came up with the 'Darkie-ville' line? As for the 'Rangers hell' that's just typical pseudo journo-speak. They say that when somebody has been left out for a couple of games...

Unofficial Websites - Pressure on the Press?

Ian - just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you... -
Why should it be a confidence problem? Last season he just didn't seem able to make a mistake. It seems that the injury he sustained must have taken something out of him. I wonder if he has properly recovered from that. Only other explanation is his off-field activities, but then again he was much more the focus of the media when he was playing well last season.
-
As Frankie says we can't afford to drop any more points. What makes it the more galling is that I can't see THEM dropping any; thought they may have thrown away a couple v. Hearts but the Jamtarts were terrible. Ask yourself: can you see THEM dropping points against St. Mirren? Hopefully they will have a reaction to their ManU exertions.
-
Not sure if I did contradict myself - hate Matt Elliott as much as you. And I'm not too sure about being brought up in Scot. - is Andrew Driver eligible? Born in England, played all his footy in Scotland?
-
I hope nobody on here is upset that Nacho can't play for Scotland. IMO it's a nonsense that anyone with no bloodline can play for a country under a passport qualification. Otherwise international football is meaningless. Look at Matt Elliott; won 18 caps for us and then said he'd rather walk his dog than support Scotland. I love Nacho as much as any gers fan but Scotland? No thanks. We should be pressurising Burley to get Boyd back.
-
Think you're right here. That is going to be the only way we get sanity. What does worry me though is I fear there could be real violence resulting at the next OF game purely because of the resentment that has been engendered.
-
There's an article in today's Herald claiming that the next step will be to arrest people. I'd love to see them try; the prisons are filled to bursting with minor offenders while paedophiles walk free. I can see the first ever 'famine martyrs' being created. Let them go ahead and try - the world can then see the injustice of it all while the perpetrators of the Novo hate song snigger on the sidelines.
-
Think you're spot on there about Burley's comments. (I meant Ascender's point.)In fact Burley should go down on bended knee to him and get him on board. Paired with Miller I'd love to see this Scotland partnership. I'll leave my thoughts about Novo to another thread.
-
Agree 100% but why for god's sake can't the management at Ibrox just come clean about his fitness? Why is it hushed up like some cabinet secret? I know they cant or won't comment on every injury situation but S. Smith was one of our very brightest prospects and if he has come back to fitness why oh why is he not being considered for the first team? That can only be because he has not come back as the player he promised to be. We should be told!
-
To me there's a huge difference between a bit of generalised banter (however puerile it may be) and a song wishing an actual named person would die in his bed - I used to be thick-skinned on this sort of thing. But now an Irish politician has waded in v. the famine song, it's time they were told in no uncertain terms that the Novo situation is much much worse. And as for James McCarthy - well he's a traitor pure and simple.

Rangers Linked with Sporting Lisbon Defender
alexscottislegend replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
Webster and Steve Smith are potential solutions to two of our long-standing problems. Are you really sure they're 'crocks'? Have you heard any report of Webster at Bristol City? And I thought the latest was that Smith has now resumed full training. Would be a tragedy if these two never recover, but trying to get honest news about them is like trying to pick gold dust off the floor. -
He was on the bench and could still have been brought on even after Iwelumo's shocker. I understand he is not quitting Scotland just doesn't want to be involved as long as GB is in charge. If it comes down to GB or Boyd to go, then I would definitely want Burley to go rather than lose Boyd from the Scotland scene. In terms of goals no one even comes close. Did Burley not see his brilliant goal v Thistle? Kris can accept being second fiddle to Miller or Faddy, but to an untried 30-year-old?

MF -think that a punctuation mark has caused misunderstanding! Should have put commas before and after "despite Mf's reservations" - meaning reservations about SDM full stop! I just meant to say that I don't wish the club to be sold to just anybody, and I think SDM is sincere enough in this. Despite our wish for fresh and new investment, would you really want RFC to be put into the hands of,say, Vladimir Romanov? This is where our debate should now start; we have at last received rumours of possible foreign interest and we know that Murray WILL sell - it's clear that his heart is not really in it any more. BTW, didn't he originally try to buy Ayr United?
-
According to the Sunday Express foreign investors are showing an interest in Rangers and Watford. Sorry, I'm not IT literate enough to be able to post a link, but some of you technofiles could do it for me! Wonder if the bears on here would accept ANY bid. I actually trust SDM despite Maineflyer's reservations to sell to a bidder who is fully in the club's interests. That does not mean I want him to hang around forever.
-
Couldn't agree more. I wouldnt blame Nacho for quitting - it just shows why we love him so much. There must be some offence here- threatening behaviour?

Take your point Craig, but no one is immune from the credit crunch -even Abramovitch and I cannot believe that the whole pack of cards may not finally come timbling down.
