Can someone please explain to me why we don't sing this greatest anthem anymore The "authorities" (define them) have said we cant so we follow like sheep. It is legally proofable (is that a word) that this isn't a bigoted or sectarism song....so say lets start a campagn to bring back our anthem. If it means missing a word then so be it....but they cant ban 1 and not for another Hullo Hullo

Former Rangers star Madjid Bougherra looks for Ibrox return
Gribz replied to Steve1872's topic in Rangers Chat
Hoofing player....bring him back -
I'll give you Fergusons biggest while Im no.2 there, but Im claiming to be Boyd's biggest critic. :devil: But it is refreshing to see him mature and do well for Kilmarnock this season. Its probably what he needed. Going overseas and down south obviously opened his eyes up. I still stand by that he wasn't good enough in the bigger games for Rangers.

I would still fancy us as joint favourites as the moment for 2 reasons. 1) The kind Quarter final draw means we should reach the semi's. 2) The semi is at Ibrox. Looking at the FA cup this weekend you wouldn't say the top 3 in England right now are FA cup favourites - Id put Liverpool and Everton up there with Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal due to the draw plus the CL coming up so its not always the highest league positioned teams who are favourites.

Ally should be throwing the younger ones in now to get them first team experience so they have had plenty first team action before moving up the leagues when the fixtures get harder, shocking decision! Is Ally is going for an unbeaten league season more than planning long term!!
-
Plenty reasons to give some players a rest and get them 100% to have a good go at the cup.

Went to same school as me but obviously not at the same time as he is 11 years my elder, but certainly one of my old favourites.

Selangor and Shah (Not Sham) Alam are equivalent of Falkirk at best.

How old is Boyd now anyway? This season for Killie is the first time I have seen him look in decent shape for a professional footballer. He seems to finally have grasped that you need a certain fitness level. He looks to have turned the extra pounds into muscle and looks right a right handful. Ive seen a few of his goals and he has taken them well. But we have to remember he is playing in a poor Killie team in a poor league. From the biggest Boyd critic on the planet I think he'd slightly improve the team at the moment so long as he played upfront with Shiels and Templeton who could do all the work for him. He'd give a bigger presence at the moment. But Id say its too late in the day to re-sign him.

And the chances of that happening are?? This just gives teams especially in the SPFL a safety if they are going to spend. The tail is wagging the dog in the SPFL.

Cant believe I woke up at 3am for that shower. It had 0-0 on it after 5 minutes which is very disappointing. Both sides were poor. Arsenal going forward never got people in the box and every short low pass was never complete. They really miss Walcott. Starting with 5 central midfielders is their problem. Arteta, Wilshire, Rosicky, Ozil and Cazorla all prefer to play through the middle, I thought the game was screaming out for Podolski. Man Utd were extremely poor. Every time Arsenal got the ball they were up against a banks of 4 and 5. Man Utd did defend well but that wasn't a Man Utd team on that pitch. Imagine Alex Ferguson lining up like that? Arsenals record against the top teams is going to cost them the title. I cant see them winning at Chelsea or beating Man City at home. Wenger needs to rest Giroud and Ozil. The failure to not bring in Draxler and Berbatov in January is now showing what a mistake it was, so what if he had to pay a wee bit more for Draxler. Berbatov would have fit into Girouds place in that game and probably have been the difference.

I'll be in UK in May so this could work for me!

Im having my worst season. Don't have a bet on this midweek games due to awful coupons lately.

Lee McCulloch feels his team could be on the verge of a special season
Gribz replied to SteveC's topic in Rangers Chat
The league is in the bag, we should win the Ramsdens, but its the Scottish Cup that should give the players fire in their belly now until the end of the season. Its something to play for and every player should raise their game now by 20%. Its certainly winnable. I personally didn't expect to even reach a Scottish cup final for a good few years yet but after last weekend there is a carrot dangling there for the team. But one game at a time, need to do the job against Albion then look forward to a semi at Ibrox. -
Peralta facing club v country dilemma if we reach Scottish Cup Final
Gribz replied to Zappa's topic in Rangers Chat
Im looking forward to seeing Peralta in the world cup to see what kind of player he is. So far Ive seen him in 1 match this season and didn't realise he was playing but he was on the right wing. -
Its a game that Man Utd aren't expected to win so I think that will play into their hands. They will have Mata, Rooney and Van Persie playing plus possibly Januzai so there is certainly goals in Man Utd. Arsenal will no doubt have all the possession early on but if they don't make goal scoring chance from it then I can see Utd winning. Huge game for the likes of Ozil, Wilshire and Giroud who have been quiet of late. They all need a performance. Wilshire needs to start calming down. He has talent but not for the first time this season on Saturday he was throwing the toys out of the pram when he lost the ball.

It sounds like a dream world cup to play it in the most successful country on the planet but like SC says they should have been ready. But FIFA should have stepped in 2 years ago. The host nation should be ready for the tournament 18 months before it starts so they could have a plan B in place. If they switch it now where would it go and how could you prepare in 3 months. The issues with stadia not being ready, stadia having structure accidents and worker deaths plus the mass rioting means it has to be in doubt. I am in agreement with the people of Brazil though. To build new hospitals for FIFA delegates, players and staff is disgusting when this should be on offer to their own people first. Some might say they will get the benefits after the tournament but a) the fact they built them for fat cats before the people isn't right and b) Brazil has a population of near 200 million therefore only a fraction of people will benefit. Where would they move it to though? I would say the best option would have to be USA. There would be more riots if they moved it!

I was thinking about that this morning, if we could provide the accounts it would be interesting. A wee run in the Europa cup would be wonders for progression long term. Bit of a pipe dream at the moment but certainly not impossible.
-
Twisted Celtic fans couldn't find it in their mind to look at it in the way that IF the draw had been fixed in favour of Rangers its for finance reasons with a big crowd in the semi and possibly final, with sponsors and TV companies all over it due to the story it would make.
-
I didn't even consider winning the Scottish Cup this season, a good run to the quarters was decent for me but now after that round of games plus the draw I think the cup is there for the taking and Ive gone from any game being a bonus to believing we can lift the cup now. There isn't a team in it who has a better squad IMO. The only worry is we aren't playing full time and top flight opposition week in week out so coming up against Inverness, Dundee Utd or Aberdeen may catch the players out on the day. But lets get past Albion first then see who else is left in it, like someone mentioned earlier I think Dumbarton is a potential upset. The other bonus is our fans wont be making any trips to Pittodrie or Tannadice.

Im with Gav, I see Man Utd going their and winning even with their poor side and manager. Arsenal will play into there hands and Utd will hit them on the counter and score. Arsenal have been consistent this year against the rest of the league but they still don't seem capable of winning against the top sides (by that I mean last seasons top 3 - City, Chelsea, Utd).

In your mind maybe. At least Craig explained his thoughts.

Ally McCoist: I'd have bet on Ibrox not being picked for League Cup final
Gribz replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
David Pleat on TV now Co-commentating Spurs v Everton just said "Naismith is doing well, one of the few Scots who has come down to England and done well, he is a former Hibernian player". -
Couldn't ask for better than that! Home tie first and foremost and avoid the SPL clubs again especially Aberdeen and their fan obsession with us. Getting SPL sides in the semi's and final would be inevitable but to get to the quarters and have this draw is ideal.
