Thats it....fancied us to win in Cardiff as we have a cracking record there. A home draw on Monday is welcome this time!!. Surely cant blow a 2 goal lead. Get passed this and Im on route to Wembley!!!!
-
No but id be up for renaming it to I-brox sponsored by Apple.
-
The old Alex Higgins! Fine servant to the club. Hope he gets a good deal / club....would imagine he would slot into the Premier League no problem.

Overrated manager. Won his early Liverpool titles with the best team at the time. Won Blackburn their title with money galore. Failed at Newcastle. Failed at Celtic. Failed again at Liverpool. He brought morale back into the team when he came back but I cant stand watching them play. Im glad they are doing so poor at home. But I expected them to be outside the top 6 when his signings were Carroll, Henderson and Charlie Adam. He should have fought tooth and nail to keep Torres and still bought Suarez, that 2 upfront would be brilliant. Dont like Chelsea but I hope they stuff Liverpool on Satuday.

Seems like he would be easier for the FA to control, more of a yes man than Harry. Also by far the cheaper option. It just shows you those people running the game dont have a clue nor the countrys best interests in mind. As Gav says, done well at Fulham and WBA but just decent every where else bar Liverpool. Baffled why Redknapp didnt get it. The FA might not like his antics or tricks at times, and thought thats not their type of person. In a way its similar to Clough not getting the job all those years ago.....not on same scale as Clough was a better manager but there is similarities. Saying that, this is the FA. It wouldnt surprise me if this is a short term appointment for the Euros only then Harry gets it for the WC.

None of Man Utds big players had an impact. Not one spark from Rooney, Giggs, Scholes, Nani, Valencia or Young. I thought they should have brought on Berbatov to hold it up a bit more with his strength as the others seemed to be eased off it. Newcastle away could be easier than people think, Newcastle like to have a go at teams which could open them up and City could score a few. I hope Im wrong though. Another factor could be Mark Hughes going back to his old club with QPR on the last day and ruining the party for his other old club! Thats very unlikely given how bad QPR can be but if they are fighting to stay in the league then who knows. So many twists this season I wouldnt say its over yet.
-
I can see a draw. Im hoping Man Utd win or at least get a point. Really dont want to see Man City win the league. Should be a cracker anyway.
-
Why do 2 wrongs always make a right with you? It isnt their mess in the first place so why should their other ventures suffer? I can see your point if you said David Murray and Craig Whytes businesses will suffer or those involved in the SPL / SFA who are kicking us when down will suffer by not receiving our revenue. The BK have put together a package they believe is safe for them so that should be respected.

Boycotting companies? - Maybe we should target the club sponsors?
Gribz replied to Zappa's topic in Rangers Chat
Id see that as a tad unfair on those companies, they havent had any involvement and possibly believe we are being treated unfairly. If they were to publically come out and state we deserve all punishment then yes boycott them. Im still for hitting the other clubs in the pocket directly by avoiding their grounds. -
Yup, drawing 7 of our last 10 home matches has cost us. To draw with Watford and Doncaster in the space of 3 days last month was the killer. Still fancy us to get the the final, I think we'll beat Cardiff. But Birmingham are on good form and Blackpool can beat anyone on their day.
-
Best we've had in over 10 years. Was really hoping we'd move away from Umbro but happy with this one. Its got a good casual (not as is soccer casual) look about it. Can see a knock on effect and a lot of clubs copying this.
-
What baffles me mate is how bad Villa are at defending when Big Eck was 1 of the best british centre halfs the country has produced. Yet Villa's defenders on paper are quality. I think 2 from Collins, Dunne and Cuellar should be on par with most defensive partnerships in the top half of the league and Given is easily one of the best keepers, yet some of the goals they have leaked have been shocking.
-
Have they been passed as fit and proper??

I dont have a problem with newco or starting in Div 3. It would be starting afresh and building back the empire!! Its more all about who is behind it. Its not like Wimbledon who relocated city and changed name altogether. We'd still be the same institution, same stadium, same manager, same players (those who dont leave - but players come and go regardless), SAME FANS. Not long ago we were discussing stadium sponsorship and thinking what if Ibrox was renamed yet to most it would still be Ibrox. If everyone at the club disappeared elsewhere and we were called Govan United or something with a completely different background / staff / stadium / colours then thats a different thing altogther....or is it!? Man Utd fans started another club in case the Glaziers run them into the ground. As for titles and history. That cant be changed. Id look at is as if we won the race. Titles: Rangers 54 Celtic 43 Years in Top Flight (since start of SFA league and SPL): Rangers 122 Celtic 122......If Celtic count continues they would need more years than us to achieve what we did.

Everyone watch the managers press conference , outstanding
Gribz replied to rbr's topic in Rangers Chat
What was the main things he said in the interview? The clip has been removed. -
Get in the Bayern.....Cant see Chelsea winning with Bayern being at home.
-
.....with 2 clubs from 1 city!!! If Villa go down he wont be allowed back near the city of Birmingham bar the Hawthorns. They really are dire to watch and they still have 3 tough games. West Brom away this weekend, they would love to put their neighbours in deeper trouble. I think they will stay up but only because 1 or 2 teams below them wont accumulate enough points to go past them.
-
I think Munich have put together a cracking side while all the focus has been on Barca, Madrid and Man Utd. I backed them in Sep to win it and didnt know then they final was in Munich. Got to get through a tough game tonight in Madrid though.
-
I thought someone was on the wind up when I heard this on way to work. I switched it off as soon as Barca went 2-0 up thinking it was going to be a cricket score as Chelsea were backs to the wall with 10 men. I backed Munich to win it anyway at the start. Will be nice to see someone else win it for a change. Would prefer Munich, if not then Real M. Dont want to see Chelsea win it then nick the 4th place CL spot from Newcastle if they finish 4th.
-
Protest wont do anything except make fans look in bad light. No action in our favour would come of it. Its simple...we dont participate in the Scottish Cups and dont go to away games next season...for starters.

SFA Ruling: Lifetime ban for Whyte; RFC signing ban for 1 year
Gribz replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
Can we still loan players? If so we'll surely see some people who have dignity in England lending us a few for 12 months. -
Sky running a wee page to celebrate 20 years of the Premier League by having a vote on: Best Match Best Goal Best Celebration Best Save Best Team XI Best Player and manager will also be awarded but not a public vote. Some of the choices Sky put up are a bit bizarre especially for best match, the 8-2 for Man U v Arsenal and 6-1 for Man City v Man Utd werent exactly classic matches.. I can also record a couple of saves Rob Green made when West Ham were the first side to win at Emirates in 2007 which would easily make the list. And Im sure there would be a few better goals than the 10 listed. You can see each one here: http://www1.skysports.com/20seasons My choices from the options provided: Best Match: Liverpool 4-4 Arsenal Best Goal: I loved that Yeboah strike but Bergkamps genius at Newcastle still confuses me when I see it. Best Celebration: Got to give it to Bullard for that piss take. Best Save: Craig Gordon. When he did that I was watching it live and posted it on here straight away that Gordon has just pulled off the best save ive ever seen. Best team: Going by everyone at their peak: Schmeichel, Neville, Adams, Terry, Winterburn, Ronaldo, Keane, Vieira, Giggs, Shearer, Henry. Left back was tough between Cole, Irwin and Winterburn but the latter being vocal and a bit more of a leader wins in for me. So tough to not include Gerrard, Scholes and Bergkamp in the team.

Thats shocking. Call yourself a Rangers fan or even a human? You need help!
-
Messi pips it for me - just! However he is playing in the best club side we've possibly seen and along side 2 of the best central midfielders there has been in Xavi and Iniesta. Id like to see how he'd do at Man Utd. Ronaldo has performed in 2 leagues and with 2 diffrent styles. But Messi's goals and brilliance is a joy on the eye.

Wigan doing well with 4 "Scots"
Gribz replied to Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose's topic in General Football Chat
I like Martinez also and hope he gets a bigger club than Wigan. Wigan are usually a boring to even think about as they dont fill grounds and their chairman is a nuisance. But credit where credit is due, they have beaten Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal in a month and should have got something off Chelsea as they were robbed of the the first goal. They are having a go which is refreshing. Although Newcastle for me have been the story of the season!
