  1. Like I said the other day, some people think that hearing CL music at Ibrox again will be the be all and end all and equal success. When there is a bigger plan that should be in place. And moving to England doesnt necessary mean there would be no CL football, if we are registered in the same way as Swansea and Cardiff then European football is allowed....should Swansea win the Capital Cup they are in Europe.

    Ra airport

    Worldwide marketing is where Kuznetzov has a point....I can count on 1 hand the amount of times Ive seen a Rangers shirt during 8 years in Asia yet regularly see a hooped horror shirts going about.
  3. The English FA avoided Arry like the plague so Im sure they would be against his thoughts on this.
  4. Im baffled by him also, nothing at Portsmouth and Blackpool now Blackburn have chased him and got him. And while Blackpool isnt a glamourous club who in their right mind would go to Blackburn in its current state.
  5. 10/10 for enthusism
  6. Even Andy Walker thinks its a nonsense http://www.skysports.com/opinion/story/0,,20245_8384779,00.html
  7. I think the statement from Green is bang on. The SPL and SFA are scrapping the barrel yet seem to be winning and Green has came all out again saying we wont be misguided. Green might not be the most subtle but I like his honest no-nonsense approach in defending our club that he picked up and turned around. Peterhead and East Fife are already in agreement, just 7 more SFL clubs and this is a non-starter....Then the SFL MUST get tougher. I honestly think this is the last throw of the dice from the desperate SPL. Cross border argument is thrown out the window because Berwick play in Scotland and Cardiff + Swansea play in England, plus being in the 'Union' (UK) must mean there is some way we can move down south. For me it will happen and I can see many leagues across Europe merging.
  8. Bradford 3-1 Aston Villa. Chelsea 0-2 Swansea. Would really like to see Swansea win it, and I hope Bradford get to the final also for a pay day. Would be a refeshing final. Michael Laudrup has shown nothing but class at Swansea and is doing a cracking job. Villa are just absolutely rank and unless they sign some quality players they are going down this season. Its nicely poised for the 2nd legs.....Villa at home will fancy there chances of scoring 2 then its all square. And Chelsea will come out like a wounded animal. I fancy Swansea now and Id have to say Villa will probably sneak it.
  9. Feckin hell....he's lucky it was a solid else he'd have never shown his face again in public. Id be requesting a stretcher!!
  10. Make that tail waging the elephant. And why dont we have a vote on this? Only the other 29 member do? Even good to see McInally of Peterhead agreeing. As mentioned, its time to apply to the lower leagues down south. Id rather play Kettering town and Luton than any other SPL club....and any SFL club who votes for this jump into the bracket.
  11. Just shows the SFA and SPL are 10 years behind Switzerland and Austria....
  12. PS - At the moment 1 team gets relegated from the SPL. Under the new proposal potentially 4 teams get relegated. Will they even get the votes for this? For the new rules to come in you need a minimum 11-1 yes vote from the SPL. If you were Ross County, St Mirren, Dundee, St Johnstone...would you vote for it knowing it increased your chance of relgation is fourfold?
  13. How does the splits work? Do the points get wiped and go back to 0? I dont understand how it will work especially in group 2 if points are not set to 0. The top 4 from 2nd tier are likely to have accumulated much more points than the bottom 4 from the SPL so straight away those 4 will be potentially miles ahead of the SPL1 4 teams in the split. But if points are set to 0 then imagine Celtic are way clear at the top but all of a sudden they dont go on to win the league.... Or maybe those genuises at the SPL say only the top groups points remain but the rest are set to 0.
  14. Plus another way to look at it with the figures: Total Celtic games 12 Total Rangers games 7 Other games 16
  15. I posted my suggestion on restructure a few weeks back and it was to have 1 season of 16-10-16 then going to a 12-12-18 and it eliminated this very problem of some clubs missing out on playing us. Not that we should be looking to fund others but Im sure the Div 2 clubs will be looking at it. Queens Park could be made for the forseeable future....4 fixtures v Rangers in 2 seasons at Hampden with 30000 crowds! And if they gain promotion with us they could get 6 in total. The spilt thing is a joke. 2 leagues merging into 3.....Doncaster should report to the SFA medical room for a random drugs test straight away.
  16. Very disappointed some Bears would go to this game. And disappointed on all fronts Dundee Utd have played dirty to get a sell out and CG also mentioned it could be a supporter of ANY team buying these tickets then the media will be in full swing against Rangers fans. I hope there is no replay as I wouldnt want a few thousand of them in Ibrox. No doubt they would take a big crowd for a one off game when in the past they take about 75.
  17. When is his current deal expired? I thought Alexander was the perfect fit for our No.1 to get back up the leagues. Surely a structured wage with a basic of 7.5k with bonus add on of clean sheets (no howlers), appreance money etc could see him getting around 10k. Can see his point of wanting a 2 year deal though. It could also be a 1 year deal with an option of an extension depending on fitness at the time.
  18. Let them be. But some home truths will hit them hard the next time they want to go to Ibrox to watch a game. As for Miller and Boyd....no thanks. Miller shouldnt have been sold but as SAlly says, his most recent games for Scotland made him look slugglish. Boyd has been a disaster everywhere he has went since Rangers showing the rough and tumble Sunday league SPL was his peak and even then if he wasnt getting tap-ins he was less effective than a cardboard cut out.
  19. He doesnt get judged just on results, he gets judged on performances and decision making such as tactics / formations and also if there is overall progression.
  20. Didnt know Hansen was one. Carol Smillie, now I wouldnt mindwatching a game with her (well maybe 10 years ago).
  21. Sturridge will add something to Liverpool but they are still 3 or 4 good players away from challenging top 4.
  22. He should never have been sold in Jan 2011, there were others who could have went before him. I think Miller would have been 1 to switch his contract over last summer. But it would be another 12 months before he could kick a ball for us which is the insane thing about signing players on Sept 1st this year then not being able to play them as the window is shut. Still an effing disgrace.
  23. I still remember taking a train from Rotterdam to Amsterdam and being amazed at how many football facilites I saw, 5-a sides everywhere. The weather isnt an excuse as Holland is as cold as UK, although I do agree to playing more summer football to start with as more youngsters would feel happier to play then rather than freezing. But it didnt stop me or my friends in the 90s, we'd be out in all conditions. Sometimes it takes one club to start the trend, Im sure Ajax set examples for the rest of Holland to follow. This is why our set up with a new start in Div 3 has dissapointed me a bit. We dont have to wait for the Scottish game to make grass root changes, we should be building on Murray park and our own set up by having much more scouts and coaches and aiming for something. Seems the only ambition is to get back into the doom and gloom SPL and hear the CL theme at Ibrox again then everything will be back to normal and accepted....for me id rather see a far stronger platform being built within the club so we are daylight ahead of anyone else in the country and can compete in Europe against the teams we should be beating so there is no Kanaus and Maribor repeats.
  24. Id be disgusted in the SFL should they fall for Doncasters patter. 2 men have ruined the Scottish game at all levels and this will kill it off. The SFL must be in the best positions its been in since 1997 before the SPL breakaway and they want to throw it away? Where is the decision thats best for clubs, players and fans rather than filling money at the top end. As Gisabeers says, all we need to do is not sign any TV deal.
  25. Man U just do it every time. West Ham will win the replay.
