8 year new contract Can understand them wanting stability after having so many managers but 8 years seems daft! If he has a massive poor spell and gets sacked his pay off will be huge. Wonder what the Georgies think about it.

Cant they just do the draw after last nights games like normal cup competitions. A bit suspect they wait until Monday....the old mix of table tennis and snooker balls I think

That is pretty awful. Glad I dont have to give them a penny from where I am. Corrupt to the core. A propaganda machine for the establishment.

I well and truly think that grit and determination of the players and manager to make a statement and sign to SPL clubs was part of the Motherwell result. Lets get a run of wins in the league before anyone gets carried away with this topic being closed.

I take it Matt McKay wont be one of the answers. Daniel Cousin must be one though.

Never looked at Twitter before and dont have a clue how to use it which is a good thing. A laugh and joke on FB is as much as I do but seeing people read out life stories is just sad. The internet will soon either be pay as you go or a internet kill switch will be pushed and people will be lost. I get all my Rangers info pretty much from this site.

Is it non European or non European Union players. Slight difference.

Thats what I was thinking, there is no proof and people like this are likely to disguise themselves. What I did hear who were Liverpool fans though was after the game a few of them running onto the pitch and mocking the Munich Air disaster infront of the Man Utd fans who were kept back after the game.

I dont think he got anything wrong either, its the rules that are wrong. He was simply doing what the FA have in the rule book. Halsey is a the top ref in the country. They are Animals whoever tweeted him those things. I find it hard to comprehend how people can think like that on anyday never mind on Sunday.

Liverpool by far the better side yet lost again. If Rodgers can get 2 or 3 quality players in then his style of play will put Liverpool back in the top 6. Vintage Man Utd, play poor in a few games yet still get near the top. Arsenal were outstanding in the first half against Man City yet showed they are still not the finished article in defence by allowing Lescott a free header. That game was there for the taken. Gervinho should spend the whole week doing first touch and shooting practice, he'd have had 2 goals if he did those two things. Arteta, Diaby and Carzorla are brilliant together. With Wilshire back in training and Ox, Walcott, Ramsay, Rosicky and Arshavin as other options this Arsenal team will be title contenders if they stay injury free.

I think you have made some good points there and it shows Ally is a good man manager and good ambassador for the club when he's came out fighting when the club was kicked while down. Those are his good attributes. But tactics, formations and making changes is where he struggles big time. I think he makes a better No.2 TBH. But this is why I said fi he stays on he desperately needs someone with good tactical experience in his management team.

I dont think he can do it himself he's been dubious in the SPL and now in Div 3. Im not saying Calderwood is a genius but when you think about the situation we are in what experienced quality manager would want to have a 3-4 year stint building a team back up the leagues. Its going to take someone who wants the actual challenge. Id prefer not to have Calderwood, he'd be down the list for me but what the fans want and who we are capable of attracting in Div 3 are two different things. All I can say as Pro-Calderwood argument is id rather have him than McCoist at the moment. Calderwood took a poor Aberdeen team into the UEFA cup and drew with Bayern a few years ago, McCoist got knocked out of CL and Europa by teams who I cant even remember.

You've redeemed yourself The SFL has been far more organised and professional and if I was in the SFL Id be looking at the situation as if I held all the cards. The SFL now has a half of the 'bread winners' in the country and that member is the biggest club in the country. Also have more member clubs and comparing the standard and size of some teams in Div 1 they are equal to most SPL clubs. Id be telling the SPL to jog on unless the SFL call the shots. The SPL got greedy and buried the SFL and the Scottish game in the 90s this is karma. What is refreshing is there is no hatred in this league. We are being welcomed at every town and ground we go to and we are welcoming teams and fans who enjoy the day trip to Ibrox. The hatred is still coming from the media and SPL clubs who seem bitter about out exsistance.

Not often I disagree with you but who exactly can develop McCoist into this great manager? Durrant and McDowall chewing their gum and writing on a note pad doesnt fill me with confidence that they are on the right track. For 1000th time McCoist needs a proper No.2 to help him develop although whats frustrating is he done his trade with Walter at Scotland then at Rangers and when he looked after the Cup games under Walter he actually played attacking footbal but when he stepped into the hot seat he has been nothing short of clueless on occasions bar a couple of good games early last season. Not winning this league is not worth thinking about, even going up via a play off would be slightly embarrassing. I do actually think we will eventually get to the top of the league with winning most home games and we will start to win away matches but the style of football has been shocking and when we get top of the league it will be papering over cracks. Your comment on Calderwood is unfair. We arent comparing them as Rangers legends, we are looking at them as football managers and based on records with resources Calderwood comes out on top with flying colours.

Well said that man. Couldnt agree more. And he's bring back Adidas strips

Good comeback for Juventus. And speaking of comebacks Darren Fletcher returned for Man Utd. Good to see him back, never nice a player having to retire early to illness or injury. He's not my favourtie player in the world and I think he's a tad over rated but still good to see all the same. He has strong work rate. The problem for him is when he plays for Scotland he becomes the highest profile player and people expect a lot of him but at Man Utd he's a work horse and in the shadows of Rooney, Giggs, Scholes etc

I dont see why Calderwood would be such a poor appointment, we are 4th in Div 3!!!!!! If we were 4th in the SPL then of course he wouldnt be on my list but some need to grasps the situation we are in. We have still 8 months of Division 3 football which we have to get out of then another 24 months of lower league football at the least. McInnes wouldnt leave the Championship to come to Div 3. He is up against Leeds, Middlesboro, Sheff Wed, Wolves, Bolton, Blackburn, Notts Forest etc. How could he leave going to those grounds to go to Elgin and Brechin in the next few years.

Surprised nobody has bitten onto this comment. He'd be well down my list but was he any worse than McCoist at tactical decisions? It should be someone with enthusism and someone who hasnt been around during the recent times. Id like to see someone like Kevin Keegan. But in Div 3 Billy Davies and Jimmy Calderwood would be more than good enough. Its just when we do get back to the top cant see the fans taking to either due to the popularity thing.

Real Madrid v Man City was a good finish. Glad RM nicked it and Mourinho's celebration was pretty cool. Chelsea v Juventus could be a cracker tonight. If Benfica win thats a bonus.

I was wondering what Greens reaction would be more than anyone else. He's put in the investment and has to deliver the club back to the top. He must be starting to have some doubts about Allys ability now after 3 league draws and 1 cup exit out of 6 matches. And we were 2nd best at Berwick and Peterhead.

There isnt a lot that can be disagreed with. I think Calderwood is a decent shout, yes it wouldnt be the most attractive name but in Div 3 and then 2 more years at least of SFL football we have to be realistic. TBH he did well with Aberdeen and they have struggled badly before him and after him. Ally has suffered from not taking on a better coaching and management team since day 1.

Stuart McCall isnt doing a bad job on a tight Motherwell budget.

Souness or Billy Davies.

Judgement period was always going to take around 6 games (excluding what we saw last season). Thats is 4 draws over 90 minutes with one going onto a defeat on pens. Im afraid it is time to ask the realistic time to ask the question. At the minimum we have to bring in a better assistant to help him make changes when he needs it. Thanks for the last 9 months Ally, you pulled us through a dodgy patch and maintained your dignity but Im doubting the management / tactical ability.

Certainly will be super Sunday this coming weekend. Liverpool v Man Utd and Man City v Arsenal. I fancy 2 away wins.
