Even over on FF there is an almost desperation starting to creep in , no news equals well no news , the Duffy consortium is a sham and even my friend in the press has heard absolute zero as everyone has gone to ground and I believe Daryl King would be delighted never to hear Duffy's name ever again .

It's not up to players that's why we have a manager and coaches , if players cannot play at 100% then they let us , the team and temselves down . This is the business part of the season if we get through this period then we can win this league , we have managed manfully to get into this position so why gamble
-
What we must avoid at all costs is the situation that we put Thomson in earlier this season , playing players way too early when we already have a thread bare squad is just madness and only puts more pressure on the player

Totti it,s nearly xmas , feel the love , chill out , relax :whistle:
-
When can we expect our half year figures to be announced , or will they just wait till the end of year figures are ready
-
Craig there is a massive difference between not able and low on confidence , Whittakers showing on our UEFA run proves he has ability , our midfield this season would give any team the skitters , we need to get of our players backs and start backing the younger ones , far too often we right off players after a few bad games , wee fleck anyone

If the boozegate rule was in use by us during Walters last stint then Goram would have been binned long long before he eventually left , this is just stupid , MacGregor is by far the better goalie , so he likes his natking big deal

Rangers 3 - 0 St Johnstone: Player Ratings and MoM Poll
rbr replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
Very solid team performance tonight , wide players playing wide , defenders defending , midfielders supporting the strikers and protecting the defence and strikers taking their chances , not exactly rocket science but very very effective hopefully that is the standard set , and now Wattie has europe out of his system he can do what he does very well , which is winning in Scotland -
Aston Villa scored one on Saturday except it was Steve Sidwell that threw the ball to Milner
-
The fat slug that is Maguire was , along with the discredited journalist , basking in our turmoil on the radio tonight and they almost couldn't help themselves when talking about , Boyd who the say " has played this to perfection " ie he has manufactured the fact we are skint , I really cannot stand bitter martin , in fact I dont even know why I listen , need to retune my radio

His teams were the only one's I have ever went to Ibrox with real expectations
-
No worries mate I stand corrected , even with flo and Gazza going later my figures are no wher near that , I doff my cap
-
Bain is nothing like the shadow puppet that moved in Murray's shadow , time to give him some credit
-
Calscot whilst I agree in principle with your view our net spending under Advocatt was under �£20 million , it was the ridiculous contracts that Murray was handing out , many times against medical opinion I may add , that got us into trouble
-
Totti I totally agree and unfortunately this has always been the case , I can remember back to the NIAR team when we had a truly reat squad but in europe we were continually humiliated by the likes of AEK , Grasshoppers ,Strasbourg , Levski Sofia , Auxerre , christ the list goes on and on , yet if we beat Celtc on the saturday everyhing was brilliant
-
The important position is the owner , but I fully accept your point , after everything that has come out these last few weeks though I cannot bring myself to give Smith grief , if he had walked god only knows where we may have been , and I am not one of his biggest fans

Well thank god that is over , some times you just have to call a spade a spade or in this case a poor side , a ......... poor side , but what could have been . The reality is that investment in players is a necessity irrespective of which team you support , obviously Real Madrid dont really need players as badly as us but to attempt to get result's with this squad is just a pipe dream in my opinion . We have a very good keeper , a 40 year old center half, and another who will probably be sold in January, two back's that have proved they can do a job when playing to a certain style of play , the midfield has been awful , Thomson was rushed back not just for Europe but domestically as well , Davies grafts without too much end result , McCulloch is well McCulloch and Mendes posted missing though that's maybe unfair after he got injured . Up front our only real goalscorer isn't trusted whilst we rely on a guy who can run all day with no end result , we have no wingers therefore no width , therefore no supply to the striker . BUT can we do better , well if we had a striker who can hold the ball up to allow the midfield to join the attack then maybe , if we had a midfield that was mobile enough to allow the defence to move closer and therefore further up the park to squeeze the game , and if that defence had the belief that they had a midfield that wasn't going to get played through at every opposition attack then maybe . But a hell of a lot of chaanges must be made , first thing is to win this league at all costs , the midfield must be addressed , with creativity and width a necessity and a system of play to allow us to actually attack other teams and put them on the back foot , christ it isn't rocket science if you let a team pass and move without getting tackled you are in trouble , no teams like being turned and playing facing their own goal , we have done it in the past and it works. Hopefully things will improve , that's about all I can hope for and I will accept any type of footall right now from now till may if we win this league

Yes except King told my friend he has never spoken to Duffy nor knew who he was before he contacted him , and my mate is in a position that he would need to know that info before anything goes to print , like I say they took a gamble on a story but now believe they were getting used , by whom they dont know . I will know more next week -

Listen mate I agree with you about the article in general , and definetly think Dffy if a walter mitty character , but I only post what I am told by friends if I believe them , do not believe me if you dont want to Also King is only reporting what Duffy says , it isn't a court of law , and if you read through the rest of it there are plenty of contradictions -

That Duffy was contacted by King -

I know he wrote it , he also quotes Duffy's answers or would you prefer if he started changing his answers , also King is quite enjoying his moment of glory , they do enjoy a little bask do our journalist's or haven't you noticed -
I think that is what is really getting me down , after all this time and debate , newspapers involved etc etc , we would have had some sort of concrete info about our situation but we still only cling onto speculation , even after yesterday nothing worth while came from it , ahhhh god bless red wine

That's total bolloks , I have it from a friend of over 20 years who is very very closely involved with this that it was the other way round , and that the call was recieved at 4pm on the friday , the whole os Saturday's Herald and Evening Times had to be redone to accomodate this and they didn't get to press till nearly 8pm , their normal time is just before 6 pm . if it had been the other way around ie King there would have been no rush . The part about his friend is correct as I stated above . -
fan ownership is all well and good as long as it is backed by a steady source of revenue , whether that is from TV , sponsorship or retail , unfortunately we have none of the later , again if I had been asked a few months ago I would and indeed have advocated fans owning the club but after reading and listening to more knowledgabe posters I can see this is a non starter , however there will be people still running with this for their own agenda , i a actually a bit depressed after yesterday as this process is going to take many many twists and turns

He was pushed into action because the NOTW were about to do a story on him , one of his " friends " had leaked the story , that's why he contacted Daryl King , also the papers involved now are of the opinion that they were in fact used , and aren't best pleased , but that's the gamble I suppose
