  1. Rather him be at Dundee than near Ibrox.
  2. I still call it the Carling cup myself. Cracking final to see these 2 clubs at it. If it was Man Utd v Chelsea it would be over hyped and be a boring game. Plus how many times have we seen the big boys at Wembley. Amazing for Bradford C to fall away from the Premier League (at a time when Swansea were plying their trade in the lowest league) yet be in League 2 and beat 3 premier league sides on the way. Swanseas rise has been brilliant, they were foot of the 4th tier not so long ago. They play great football thanks to Martinez, Sousa, Rodgers and now Laudrup. Got to say I want Swansea to win it for Laudrup. Pure Gentleman and oozes class and they deserve a trophy. If it was Cardiff Id want Bradford to win but they have won just making it to the final. 3-0 the Swans.
  3. 1) The bloke ODriscoll had Forest in play off contention (he is now doing a decent job at trying to keep Bristol C up), 2) Eck comes in and they fall away with only 1 win against the bottom side. 3) Billy Davies wins 2 out of 2 and all of a sudden they have a great chance of the play offs again. All with the same set of players.
  4. Yes agreed and it works both ways, any monies due to Rangers pre-2012 should also be given to us but this is where 1 rule for Rangers and another for the rest kicks in.
  5. The German way should be followed throughout Europe. Pay a fair fee to get in and watch a good level of fitness. Cant stand when players through the dummy out and dont try like Pete has suggested above about Messi. The greatest players should still have graft in their game.
  6. 18-12-12 is the best scenario, reducing the amount of lower league clubs has to improve the standard.
  7. Its all part of Globalization. Anyone know if the the teams from Russia and Ukraine previously played together prior to 1991 in Soviet Union though? The set up might have included them together then.
  8. I see both sides, saving 100k is good business but we're not losing 100k either, we agreed the fee and we have the best LB in Scotland. Perhaps we will sell him on for 1-2 million in a year or so and make a profit. If this was first offer to help Hearts Id be ok with it but as said they refused it last time. They will probably make the 100k plus more next season when they are playing us in the 3rd tier after the restructure.
  9. Ive no problem with going through all the leagues, why should we be leap frogged? What is a nonsense is being in the same league with all other 9 sides from this season and making restructure in the space of 2 months.
  10. I faniced Milan before the match, but I can still see Barca going through. AC are on a great run at the moment and have came from nowhere in Serie A to being 3rd at the moment. Think they were 12th at one point. Xavi and Iniesta have been wonderful but them along with the other Spanish internationals had another full summer of playing at the Euros so the games were always going to mount up. They are still a class above anyone in Spain though. Having their manager away doesnt help. Great sides cant last forever and with a few of them getting older they may not be the force they were in the last 6 years. Bayern are close to being the next big thing, I backed them to win the CL last season at the start and god knows how they never won it. This year they have a chance again but I have a sneaky feeling for Dortmund to win it. An all German final isnt impossible which would be good, Ive watched the Bundesliga for a few years now and been impressed.
  11. Andy Walker was coming out with more tosh by saying the match this weekend between Celtic and Dundee is a mis-match due to the 45 point difference, where else would you get that. Well the so called greatest league in the world in England also has bottom v top match this weekend - QPR v Man Utd where the gap is 48 points yet nobody says its a mis-match.....just shows the different in the Celtic minded way.
  12. He is Scotlands version of Piers Morgan, he has nothing to say and says it too loudly. The article (even though I stopped after 4 lines) is nothing more than "I will be around when something bad happens". He even had to start of the article with bitterness i.e judging a book by its cover, what journo would do that.
  13. Will look forward to reading this a bit later.

    Theres only One Brian Laudrup...... Thats my fave player of all time.
  16. Been in Perth for a while, certainly attracted a lot of big names there but didnt exactly set the place on fire. BlueDan will know better. LIked him as a player but I couldnt get excited about the thought of him coming to Rangers. But as long as he is infront of John Brown in the que I'll be happy.
  17. Cowdenbeath are in the 1st Division are they not? Which if is the case is slightly better standard than Divs 3 and 2 but not by much.
  18. Such a 'glass half full' post from your good self!! I thought you'd be in the 'Ally will bring him back on not play him' camp. But yeah a loan move does actually seem sensible considering it is against opposition in a higher league and it will get himself match fit. But 2 things, we have pretty much wrapped the league up so giving him run outs for the last half hour of matches for us would have seemed a better idea and Ive always been more of the idea that loans were better for experience. Teams never seem to send important players on loan after injuries.

    Bocanegra, Goian

    We like to see Boca back but as said he will be rightly thinking about the World Cup. Perhaps the season after we may still get another year out of him as he seems fit enough. Still applaud both these players for still being Rangers players though.
  20. Cracking player when he was on his game. How did he get on?
  21. Spot on with 2 fast attacking forwards. If Hemmings has scored 4 in 5 in Div 1 then he has to be given a chance in our team, it was madness to let him go on loan in the first place.
  22. Fancied Man U to go through before this game. Its evenly poised for the 2nd leg and could go either way but with Man U being 12 pts clear in the league they will be able to rest a few players in the match prior to this one. But I wouldnt back against Ronaldo going there and knocking them out.
  23. And watch it again in the 2nd leg when Juve are at home, I bet its far more easy on the eye. When I was training in the 90s we used to play 5-asides where there was a wall a little over 1 meter high then netting (to prevent the ball going into the next pitch), one of the rules were the ball wasnt allowed to go above wall height or a free kick was given, it totally encouraged us to get the ball passing on the deck. Such a simple rule.
  24. Unless there is clauses that increase players basics the higher the division we are in. That would make better business sense than individual win bonuses.
  25. I guess this is the case with free players we sign. But other signings from other clubs are not allowed to be registered until Jan 1st? Essentially making it a 18 month transfer embargo?
