Has there been a more bitter article written of late?

Isnt the fact it failed in Austria and Switzerland proof that it shouldnt even be attempted. And to think Doncaster got a pay rise of 5 figures in the last set of accounts.

Ive done a quick Annan one, sorry Pete I never seen your reply to Zappa's post asking for one. If you've done one by all means stick it up and remove mine as Ive pretty done a bit of guess work on the defence.

So these donkeys are getting their way. Id imagine our application to join the Blue Square Conference League will be filled up if the vote goes through.

Now a Mexican under 20 and 23 international is the sort of player that would excite me, as the mexicans are a quality side, very technical and skillful. However I dont have much confidence in Neil Murray. Then again to put another negative side on it any skillful player in the past seems to come then leave pretty quickly like the spanish kid Aaron. Whether that be they arent good enough or if our tactics and style isnt good enough for them is another argument.

Its 5 players that would strengthen the squad and improve the team but none of them excite me and would fill me with confidence playing in the top flight or against top flight opposition. However being realistic its going to be hard to unearth or attract some gems playing in this league.

Agreed which is why a 18-12-12 or 20-22 isnt even on the cards.

He makes team of the season for sure, which is probably this for me: _______________Begovic____________ Zabaleta___Williams___Ivanovic__ Baines ___Cazorla____Felliaini_____Bale______ _____Suarez__Van Persie__Michu______ Yaya Toure would get in my Premier League XI but he hasnt been as good this season. Ivanovic is better at RB but been Chelsea's best defender.

PC Britain gone mad. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/west-ham-fan-barred-stoke-1750136

And add in that no Middle Eastern Billionnaire came in, while the other groups who dabbled with taking over probably wouldnt have the club in the position its in now.

As always I listen to this show the next day. CG cant say anything different if the the questions are the same and if there is no resolution on going issues. Liked the dig about Celtic crowds "when we say there is 45000 there is 45000", maybe a bit wrong for a CE to come out with but still a nice comment all the same. He was pretty much bang on with everything he said, he and the club have came strides in the last year. Very interesting and Im happy we are still persuing the ship jumpers. Just wish he named Naismith along with McGregor, Lafferty and Whittaker as I think he was the ring leader. What a cracking comment as well about the fact he paid them a months wages yet when they left during the month they didnt send any money back!!! The one thing I disagreed with is the McCoist argument. For this season I agree with him, yes there was no pre season, no league to play in, no players etc etc....but for the first 6-7 months of the season before that we had a cracking team and despite a good run of games in Oct - Dec in 2011 then Allys tactics then we're still not at the standards expected. Plus there has been no progress this season in performances when we should be getting stronger.

Ronaldo is still the better player for me. Bale is in immense form but still has to do it over 2 seasons. If he kept this form up for 2 years Id put him in the top bracket.

Not for me, from the behind angle it looks like a boot going into the player but its accidental all day long. If this is a red card then overhead kicks in the box should be deemed a red card for dangerous play.

I see your point and as long as he sticks to facts its all good. Agreed the pipe dream should be kept internally but opening doors to playing in England should be mentined. Ive no problem him mentioning the state of shambolic Scottish Football. Regan and Doncaster have done a great job in ruining it so why not let people down south know. Also agree it should be Traynors job but CG was the vocal one over the last 6-7 months prior to Traynor being appointed so the likes of Keys and Gray will be used to Green at the moment. As such, they both should be doing this interview.

I really cant find a criticism in CG at all to date. For as long as I can remember we never had anyone come out and speak out, we just took the shite and fans were always saying we dont have someone fighting our corner....now we do have someone who waited just nicely last year until the dust settled while the club took every wrong decision possible and he gets told to be quiet??? CG is currently marketing the Rangers brand and keeping options open and is not scared to say the truth about the SFA and SPL for what they are, he is getting good exposure so Im all for it. After having David Murray running us into the ground (whom which I was a blind fan of during his time), then the doped up Craig Whyte running us, I wonder what some people want!!! Its obvious no billionnaire Saudi Arabia came in for us and John Brown didnt get his hands on us so lets be happy with what CG is doing.

OP is a valid point that I hadnt considered. If the Murray Park was used to its max potential and the management team had done a fresh start in the way we played through the leagues by using the younger ones mixed with the current experienced players then we would only have to add 1 or 2 going through the leagues then by the time the SPL comes around again we'd have a nice pot to spend on good players. We are wasting money on the likes of Kevin Kyle and John Daly regardless if its only signing on fees and wages.

Whats concerning is the SFL coming out with statements like "we dont know whether we will go with 12-12-18 or invite 2 more clubs to make it 12-12-10-10". The SFL hold so much cards at the moment and should be pushing for what they want.

Yup and this is with 5 Dundee Derbies in 1 season. And now Dundee are going to be back down next season.

Only watched the 2nd half but the ref should not be allowed to referee again. Not just for the Nani sending off but for loads of decisions in the 2nd half. He killed a spectical. Man Utd were comfortable until the red card which was bizarre.

That Kilmarnock one is taking the piss. 20000 out!!

I dont think anyone cares about performances this season if we could see we are building for the future. Thats a key thing that almost every fan has said. We know our hands were tied with no signings, no pre-season, no league to play in but a 5-10 year plan should still be in place by now yet its the same baffling tactics and players out of position that has been done under Walter, McLeish and McCoist.

If it didnt work in Newcastle there is even less chance of it bedding in at Ibrox. Only new stadiums get new names. Ibrox Direct is as close as it will get. But this part is interesting, are they talking about sign on the roof like St James' had or is there expansion plans.

Is Burley having a dig at the SPL, SFA and clubs here or is he on the bandwagon that he thinks it shouldnt be over?

More clubs Just what isnt needed!!!
