  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. Can Bell play straight away after Sep 1st or does he have to wait until January to be registered during the window?
  4. I just wonder why these former players keep coming back with these type of comments wanting to fit back into the club in some way, some of them have some nerve! Are they missing being part of the Rangers family seeing there is still 48000 turning up? Are they not getting the same glamour attention at their new clubs and are now just 1 piece of a jigsaw? It was the manner which they left for me especially from so called Rangers fans. The likes of Edu, Goian, Boca, McCulloch, Alexander and all the players who stayed showed what garbage the deserters came out with. I agree with what has already been said about the wage cuts being a great gesture at the time and yes they all do have to think about future contracts to cover mortgages (doubt that they even had one) and families but all that could have been done in the background rather then the cringeworthy speeches like Whittaker and Naismith. I do cut a bit slack for certain players who did keep quiet like Davis who did end up getting the club a fee, but as captain of The Rangers he went hiding. I hold no hatred towards any of the former players who are in the deserter catergory, I dont want to waste any energy on them either, they can get on with their careers elsewhere and have nothing to do with Rangers. But none of them are ever welcome to wear a Blue jersey on the Ibrox turf ever again. I have no problem if they want to show up at Ibrox at a game so long as they purchase a ticket like the next fan. If they were in the directors area with freebie tickets Id expect them to be removed.
  5. We need 3 keepers but for SFL 2 we only need 1 strong keeper and 2 good back ups. Having 2 international keepers on the bench would be great but cant see either of them willing to sit on the sidelines. Alexander has been a good servant, a strong back up to McGregor and now a fine No.1 choice to get us through the leagues. Id be happy if he stayed until we are back in top flight. I dont know much about Bell but if he is as good then fair enough if he comes in.
  6. What ever happend to Craig Gordon? Isnt he without a club? He was a cracking keeper and if we could go for him should he be fit then Id be happy with that.
  7. Cant really say I know anything about Bell, but he must be half decent if he's had a call up. The good thing is he is 26. What a cracking idea and gesture if the club give up the No.12 jersey and dedicate it to the fans...every fan who buys a replica shirt could get the 12 on the back.
  8. Watched the Gary Mabbutt clip and he says it wasnt life threatening. He also mentioned he cant talk to Gazza, only people in the clinic can therefore The Sun had no way of getting information direct.
  9. 19 hijackers (8 of whom are ALIVE to this day) managing to fly massive airliners against the most hi-tech defense system on the planet being ran by a chap who was dying in a US hospital in Dubai 4 months prior sounds a bit far fetched to me. But all this is in another thread in the lounge. This one is all about the Great Gazza. Praying for some better news today and that this Sun story is a nonsense.
  10. I did say on another thread a 4-0 or 5-0 was due. Should have added this scoreline papers over cracks. It would need scorelines like this every week until the end of the season while playing good for me to stat changing my mind.
  11. Anything above 40k is still amazing. Even crowds about 20k is still amazing at this level.
  12. Agreed, or at least contributing. A report said Steven Gerrard went to the FA to say the players will do anything to help, considering him, Terry, Lampard and Cole earn 1 million per week between them then Im sure they could help with the bill.
  13. The mainstream media report what they want, of course they would stoop low. They reported 9/11 was done by 19 hijackers orchasrated by a bloke in a cave didnt they. How big a lie can they get.
  14. I wonder how true this article is. These rehab centres wouldnt be handing out information to media. Really hope its not true.
  15. Great moment that showed how much they cared. But got to back Gazza up on this one, he did a run and laid a ball and it was Coisty who never matched it, or went the other way....cant say Gazza went out of the game. There is another classic semi final for me that I just absolutely loved.....scroll forward to 2min 41 secs
  16. Nah Im still lost. And this will be my last explanation because if anything its your posts which has derailed the thread. To me your post was a knee jerk reaction and you couldnt resist the temptation of having a go. There was absolutely no references to Boyd's career or game at all. All that was said was McCoist has been compared to Boyd in the past as goal poachers and I purely said this is a insult to McCoists game / career / style of play. I mentioned look at McCoist videos in the 80s and 90s and the standard of opposition - that is all McCoist related. He has never been compared to Flo, Mols, Durie or Hateley, they all had different styles. The only other striker that might have got a mention on style of play is Billy Dodds, who was a fine poacher, but couldnt lace Allys boots. I think McCoist had the reputation of just being the No.9 tap in type of striker, which for 80% of his career is maybe correct, but I feel there is disjuctice and Ally was a far better all round player than he was given credit for. Goals like setting Gazza up at Parkhead are an example (below), his run away from the defender and pass was inch perfect as Gazza ran the length of the pitch.
  17. I do agree with the 40 day point in general for sure. But to come in and make a team play so bad instantly takes some doing, including getting beat by lower league sides in the cup. Id expect a manager to come in and keep the rowers going then improve on it, not to take the sail out of it.
  18. Aye ok then, really not sure where you are coming from here. I'll reword my sentence shall I "One of the biggest insults to McCoist is anyone comparing xxxx former player with him"
  19. Astounded. Have you even opened your curtains in the last 25 years?
  20. In MY opinion, if McCoist has been compared to Boyd in the past then defending that comparising merits Ally in every way. This thread is all about how good McCoist was not how bad some have compared him.
  21. Where is Ben Foster going then.
  22. His form right now is as good as any in Europe but he is getting way ahead of himself, Ronaldo has done it week in week out for about 8 years for Man Utd and Real Madrid. Ronaldo hit about 30 goals in his last season for Man Utd. Bale is on the right track but has to do it for longer than 20 games. Id say he is a more direct player than Ronaldo.
  23. That Kiev atmosphere sounded awesome, its a shame we allow the authorites to take that kind of atmosphere away these days. One of the biggest insults to McCoist is anyone comparing Boyd with him. When you watch videos of McCoist especially in the late 80s and early 90s you can see he wasnt just a poacher, he was far more mobile with masses more effort, he got involved far more and had much more ability in his all round game and he was playing against a higher standard of opposition then.
  24. Taking over a club who is in good form and pushing up the league then turning them the other way to win only 1 game in 7 against the bottom club says it is enough time. And then coming out with this:
  25. Christmas comes late for Forest then.
