Sutton_blows_goats

Enjoyable. Same gameplan as the cup final has worked again.

Thursday innit

Igamane 🤦‍♀️ that was an easy through ball for Bajrami ffs

There again Raskin and Mcgegor come together and only Raskin gets a card

So Jefte gets booked for an accidental elbow but Johnstons elbow on the back of Hagi head is absolutely fine.

These 3v3 type breaks are something we absolutely stink at. Need to do much better there Bajrami

How’s that not a foul on Hagi after her gets the shot off😂😂😂😂

The fouling by carter vickers was more obvious

Ok to elbow players on the back of the head in the spfl..

Not even looked at by VAR. mental

Who knows really. Our club like to obfuscate fees spent and brought in for whatever reason. The point I was trying to make was that there is more value in young foreign talent than in the SPFL.

I've heard sources say we paid well below that, 700k + add ons.

A question that has been asked for some time now. Many of the players injured have been pretty much injured ever since they got here. Its bizarre.

I think its debateable, but you put forward a good point. We paid less or similar for Igamane and Jefte who were both in contract and much better players. Therefore the behaviour being incentivised here is to go with cheaper foreign talent. Queue the usual suspects in the media: wHy dOnT rAnGeRs hAvE aNy sCoTtIsH pLaYeRs

I think Aberdeen's complaints about the system are fine. However, this disincentivises us (and them) to sign players from other Scottish clubs on freedom of contract deals, and the players. If we were to sell Barron for 3 million in the summer (for example) we would end up paying circa 1.2 million, for a player who was out of contract and could have went a few miles south for far less. And got a nicer sign on fee and wage. Surely there needs to be a globally standardised framework for this, which allows clubs to be adequately rewarded to bringing through young players, but allows the players and clubs to move, who are out of contract and essentially free agents. Surely these fee's contradict any freedom of movement laws that allow out of contract players to move? I'd recommend the fee's are set depending on the signing clubs TV market share. It makes no sense that Rangers need to pay more to sign a player than Bayern, Man U, Real Madrid, Juventus etc. But I suppose the system works fine for those clubs. A reminder we signed Joe Aribo and Charlton got a development fee or around 200k-300k Agree, This could potentially put us off signing young Scottish players moving forward. Its cheaper to sign players who are in contract abroad like Jefte and Igamane. Seems like a very high reward for Aberdeen. They should get 'something' for developing a player but this seems excessive. If Alex Lowry(for example) signs for Aberdeen in the summer does that mean we get a similar package? Does this type of ruling then put the likes of Aberdeen and Hibs off from signing our ex youths?

Bajrami or Baron at right back or go with King? Clement doesn't seem to have any faith in the younger lads so expect the former. Some great stats. Back up what I've been bemoaning about Dessers for a while.

Not sure if I’m a fan of us letting them know Tav, Butland and Balogun are all out for tomorrow. Think it’s a bit amateur.

Hope he is ok this sounds serious (Jack Butland admitted to hospital with internal bleeding) https://x.com/jonnyrmcfarlane/status/1874461593549041783?s=46

Ronnie Edwards has joined QPR on loan. That one is out.

Tav out

We wont do anything as the season is over. Only expect some outs if we get decent bids and get some wage thieves off the payroll.

Rumour mill has Tav injured, apparently holding his hammy after the Motherwell game.

Rangers 1 Other Mob 3 FGS Cerny

Glad we are kick stating this player trading model with championship jobbers turning 30 who will be on massive wages. Great stuff. Apparently he is their highest paid player on 45k per week. Superb

Peter Lawwell could ref the game, doubt it will make much difference
