Agree with this however the debate only appears when we don't win a game. Id prefer people start the debate after a poor winning performance also.

I saw quite a few games last season but not this year, but McKay was one of the positive stand outs last season and I thought the one with most potential. For all of a sudden to read he is available on loan is a bit of a shock. Maybe if he was 35 and nearing the end of his career he'd be on a bumper package and playing every week. Sounds like this one could go a bit similar to the Hemmings situation, a promising youngster who did well out on loan but never got much of a chance.

The 100% was always going to go, Im not too worried about it although I didn't expect it to go at Ibrox. A season unbeaten is more realistic, having the odd draw is no shame. The manner in which they come about is. I wouldn't start an Anti-Ally bandwagon simple for dropping 2 points, the debate about his manager ability is a separate one and shouldn't just be brought up on individual results when we don't win a game.

We shouldn't really celebrate Christmas....its satan worship but switched to a form that humans celebrate.....anagram - santa / satan...and its all from the Saturn worship.....I didn't make this up, its proven from history. We need to get used to this.....

Or even Stranraer Merry Chrimbo everyone

Big Eck could also be trying to justify why he finished 3rd in a 2 team league. His bosmans were better than players he actually spent money on!! But he has a point, nothing would be worse than going into the top flight and competing for being 4th or 5th. I don't expect to win the league straight away but there has to be signs that we are improving and should still take 2nd spot. -
A proper youth policy should have been in place when Murray Park was first opened and that would have meant having a proper scouting system with ex players in their native countries finding good young talent. I know some will point to the 1 or 2 that has come through but we really should have had 20 times more better players coming through and should have been light years ahead any other SPL side. As such it pains to say Dundee Utd have even a far better youth set up.
-
Torres has been so poor there. Granted he isn't the same player he was at Liverpool but I still think he would score goals for fun at Man United or Arsenal. Imagine Liverpool had Torres and Suarez at the same time at their peak! As things stand Suarez would go for 85 million now, but depends what clauses he has in his new contract.

Well done West Ham and Sunderland putting a boot into that draw! Unreal for West Ham winning at White Hart Lane twice in space of a few weeks. Pity the Manchester clubs were kept apart in the semi's, I have serious doubts that that wasn't a fix!!! West Ham v Man City Sunderland v Man Utd

Can someone put it forward that we want all the seats at Ibrox the same shade of blue again

Authorities have given Hearts boss “impossible task”
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
I see what you are saying and yes likes of Les Gray was clearly trying to jump ship but it was in writing that they had to give 3 years notice so SFL should have stood ground IMO. With a bit of luck Hamilton get promoted this season so we don't have to visit them twice next season and they miss out on the Hearts games also. They could then be relegated the season after and pass on the way down as we return to the top league. -

Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
I was against the article until he balanced it by saying the same treatment was done against Rangers. At first I thought it was only going 1 way that Hearts had been hard done by but not Gers, but fair play to Alex Smith, he then hit the nail on the head - Although he used the words 'they slit our throat' while we have all said 'kicked while we are down'.....both relevant though. Looking at the possible scenario next season of Rangers, Hearts, Dundee, Falkirk and Dunfermline possibly being in the same league further proves the point then Longmuir should have been far stronger when Regan and Doncaster came knocking for the takeover. Longmuir and the SFL already had the trump card in Rangers and if they had stayed stronger and not given into a takeover (embarrassingly named a merger) then the SFL would have had far better set up next season and could have then made the game better. As such now, clowns like Doncaster will get their wish and practically have an SPL2 next season and a better league because of others downfalls...... -
That's a sunday. Didn't we have another match scheduled for that weekend? Seems to be a lot of empty weekends at the moment for our games.
-
Why don't we have a match this weekend? I suppose with last weeks game called off and no game until boxing day will give the players a rest and there is no excuse for winning on boxing day and on Dec 30 against Dunfermline to keep the winning run going.

Managers dropping like flies. But this one was on the cards, Spurs should be doing much better. But they were lucky in 2 home games against Hull (1 in the cup), beaten by Newcastle at home, thrashed by West Ham at home, royally humped by Man City and Liverpool. Hoddle, Laudrup, Capello and Benitez all linked and would all be good choices IMO. Zola also left Watford yesterday. The Sheff Wed job still available, managers dropping everywhere. I think Malky Mackay will go next after the Cardiff chairman got annoyed with him yesterday after Mackay said he wants 3 players in January.
-
Unlucky for Clarke, feel its the wrong decision. West brom have been unlucky with wrong ref decisions that cost them 7 points. Up until 4 weeks ago they were doing well, so he has been judged on 4 results. A cracking coach and I wouldn't mind seeing him at Ibrox one day in some role. Strachan should take him on board for some international experience. I wonder if McLeish will be a contender for the West Brom job and probably be the first man to manage all 3 Birmingham clubs! That would be something.
-
Arsenal were full of errors. Monreal was terrible. They gifted City the 3rd goal. Ref and linesman was poor also, giving Man City 2 wrong decisions which led to 2 goals. Not saying City weren't the better team but they were assisted by mistakes and the refs.

^ what a squad of players!!!!

Man City v Arsenal. Potential belter. Arsenal always go to win games and Man City at home are awesome. Arsenal were poor at Old Trafford but Utd came out to try stop Arsenal playing while City will come out an attack which means Arsenal will hit on the counter. I still fear Arsenal's defence will collapse at some point, they are playing well as a unit all calendar year but they still lack pace at centre half and Aguero could really get in about them. Going forward both teams have awesome talent. But it depends how fit Giroud is. Both have depth in midfield so Arsenal can bring n Wilshire and Ramsay who sat out the last game but a good point made earlier was City have got 4 top strikers while Arsenal have one. Although Podolski and Walcott can play through the middle and are fit again they wont today. Im going for a draw, possibly 2-2 but I'll have a flutter on 1-1.

When we had Tugay I knew he was a pretty good player and was capable of something a bit extra but he wasn't in most peoples starting XI at the time as we had Albertz, Van Bronckhurst, Ferguson, Reyna, De Boer and McCann all at their peak. But I usually click onto Skysports video website and watch that Paul Merson program where he has players and ex players on giving their all time I-XI of the players they have played with. Tugay is getting into teams quite regularly and players cant speak highly enough of him saying he was a genius. Dean Saunders was the latest this week and said he should have been playing for 1 of the big 4. Tugay has been mentioned in 3 teams in the last 2 months. Why did we sell him in the end? IIRC he wasn't one of the players who wanted to leave. I recall Reyna and Gio wanting to play at a higher level but not Tugay. Seems we had another World Class player on our books.

That's good to hear. Although it looks a wonderful stadium it still just doesn't have that classic feeling anywhere near like the last Wembley. There hasn't been too many good games played there and the atmosphere never sounds great on TV plus the angle of the cameras isn't high enough IMO during games. Still, its got plenty time to turn it around. I feel England need to host a World Cup to get it up there.

Id give him a run on the right to see how he does.

Nothing will beat running out for Rangers when we’re back in the top flight
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
I wonder how the players who left 18 months ago feel now. We have half way through this journey back to the top and when we do get promotion it will be pretty big and the first home match will be huge yet none of them will be part of it because they jumped ship when youngster like MacLeod showed them how its done. -
There has to be a fine line. We cant expect people to be robots and sit in silence on a train yet there is no place on a train for bouncing around making noise etc. I guess without the exact facts we can only speculate. I used to take the train to Ibrox from Aberdeen for most games more so than the bus purely for the enjoyment day out and sitting having a few drinks on the train. At the very most we would be having a good chat and big carry out both ways and never bothered anyone other than in a good way. On the way back we'd always be rather tipsy but never caused an ounce of trouble. But people feel intimidated these days by the sight of football fans.

Other than Wallace there isn't too many players who would attract a decent fee therefore selling players now and trying to replace them would set us back a year.
