You disagree on Naismith and Lafferty? You obviously dont watch football then.
-
Not really sure the point of your posts. Is that fair?
-
12M for Flo??? No I dont think so...20k / week for Whittaker wins the best Twat deal! Are u kidding me? Who even let this guy sign for Rangers. Jog on....Ortiz must be thinking 'Huh..."
-
Sorry but...THATS the team!!! Davis stand up andvbe captain to your successors....
-
Id rather recall Gary Stevens than play Whittaker. that guy should be running away...20k /week for being an absolute plum!
-
They said the same thing aboout Ferguson....the media are just me and you. wenger is a genius....if he fucks up next year then yes it willl be time to job on.

Booo. ARSENAL AR-SE-NAL.... In Wenger we trust....
-
Big game today....Arsenal need to win for champions league places and show they havent fallen behind Spurs even though they temporaily have. Spurs still have a outside chance of winning the league, had they not drew at home to Wolves a few weeks ago they'd really have a shout...but they need to win every game from now on to win and they wont do that. If Spurs win it will show how far back Arsenal have gone and maybe make Wenger realise he needs to sign 4 good players. He has the basis of a good team again but they need some steal! I dont want them to sign Mcgregor but the shagger would be a huge solution for them and a good centre half to partner valgaeren. Mertesacker looks more like a bowler than a footballer...not sure who recommended that one. Im going to back Arsenal...100 quid on the Goons.

Havent followed the end to this one, but whats the score with Cousin?? Can he play or is he not a gers player? I hope he can get past the red tape, he is a monster and Id have him to stuff Celtic in the last 2 OF games. Lafferty - After a few years of being a plonker he finally started to come good...really need him back from injury soon. Naismith - He has taking a few years to win me over, never really thought he was a striker, when i saw him in Australia pre-season 2010 on the right of a front 3 I realised we have a player. He is still young and we have a player who will be with us for 10 years...by far the better signing between Boyd and Naismith. Hurry back!! McCulloch - King snake was originally signed as a left sided striker, thats where he always impressed me for Scotland and Wigan. Nobody can say anything about his commitment but he isnt a midfielder or defender. A run of games upfront might make his Gers career. Miller - Why didnt we resign him last year!!! Absolute massive loss!! Hemmings - Really looking forward and hoping this kid gets more games. Healy - Really hasnt stood up to the plate. Thought he would have been far better than he is. Turning out to be Beattie the second.

....I Still think we have by far best team in the league :jmo::dg::sp: :sd::jn::kh: :sn::kl::sa:

Is it time to revisit the subject of selling stadium naming rights?
Gribz replied to Zappa's topic in Rangers Chat
Loved the mention the other day - 'I'brox....from apple....thats genius and really should be looked at. If it makes a buck then I dont mind if its changed...it will still always be Ibrox. Not sure how much newcastle made changing to sports direct arena but 99% of their fans still call it St James' -
Great minds etc......just posted that in the preview. Id just go for it, nothing to lose yet as mentioned AM will put Broadfoot, Goian, Perry, Boca across the back which isnt too shabby but id much rather see a 3.

Id like to see the club refuse away tickets for one round of matches just to show the clubs like Aberdeen, Dundee Utd, Hibs etc that they rely on having Rangers on their patch. Its quite funny that when it comes to the split their fans are itching for another home tie with the OF. In fairness to SOME chairmen, they already know this but Utd are laughable at the moment. They seem to have a bit of a grudge with us since the postponed game a year or so ago and trying to resort to cheap shots. It might be a bit unfair on the likes of St Johnstone, Kilmarnock but we arent in the business of funding them. Make no mistake about it, we will be back after this ordeal is sorted and Utd will be needing 5000 travelling Bears twice a season. Thats the other thing about Dundee utd, when Rangers, celtic and even Aberdeen go to Tannadice they offer 50% of the ground for away fans! If their not so desperate then why do they need to give those teams 2 stands!!
-
Agree with Gav. The club was in a mess for years before we'd even heard of Whyte but it just didnt get the exposure it is now. Whyte is a patsy and a chancer and has a reputation of attempting to turn business around on the cheap but here the HMRC has called his bluff and he is looking like a top shelf clown. But the mess was created years ago...Murray was selling of things like the ticket office and the Albion years ago.
-
Thats the strangest thing for me also, fighting to bring him in early then he is surplus to requirements. I didnt even see this guy in a Rangers shirt. Along with the 3 mentioned players leaving Im also surprised at the ones put out on loan, Hutton and Fleck would be playing ahead of McCulloch and Healy for me.
-
Baffling. There has been an abundance of players in the past like Maniero and Jeffers to name 2 who had short term stays after being awful, yet Bedoya, McKay and Ortiz havent had a chance and they are ones first out the door while we are downsizing. Is it because we want to stick with the old guard / tried and tested but inconsistant and ageing deadwood like McCulloch, Edu and Broadfoot???? Bedoya played for the USA last year and was one of their better performers, McKay was OZ player of the year and Ortiz has scored 3 in 3 back in Spain. Id have been looking at offloading the past rather than potential future.
-
I think your underestinating the SK league. Ive watched a bit of this and the J- League and both are a very decent standard. The national team are better than Scotland for a start. The Asian version of the Champions League includes these 2 countries along with Australia so McKay obviously knows a bit about the league and will know what he is going in to. Good luck to McKay, he will probably look back at the last 6 months as going backwards in his career and lifestyle.
-
I think he had Naismith and Jelavic to thank for that. They were the difference between winning games, playing well and a poor team. Says it all when these 2 are going to be the top 2 contenders for player of the season come May and they wont have kicked a ball in 2012.
-
The team is crying out for freshening up and McKay would fit the bill fine. After our last 2 games against Utd and Killie Id be making changes all over the park where possible, the same set dont deserve to be picked. Id play McKay in midfield, I wouldnt have let Hutton go out on loan and had a trio of McKay, Davis and Hutton as my midfield.
-
Not sure whats going on at Chelsea, the divide between manager and players seems to be the first issue . They are still in the Champions League hence Boas still being in a job. As for Arsenal Wenger, he needs to change his philosophy or risk Arsenal sliding away from competiting for CL spots. They are getting further away every season while Man City and Spurs are getting stronger. Man Utd are in transistion but can still compete for the title. And you'd imagine Chelsea will throw cash at it next season. He is persisting with 4-5-1 which I think is a cause for them being so slack, he should go back to 4-4-2 but needs to sign a new keeper, top centre half and unearth another Nasri. FA cup could be quite interesting this year though, if Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton and Spurs get through the quarters which they should then its wide open. 4 clubs I dont particularly like but I wouldnt deny Spurs the FA cup after the season they have had. A Liverpool v Spurs final would probably be the most entertaining.

I really dont see liquidation happening and the need to start again. I wasnt surprised by administration but id be gobsmacked by liquidation. Even if it did happen id give it 3-4 years tops before we saw us back in top flight whether it be the SPL or down south if that was possible. You just have to look at Wimbledon, they were a small club who disapeared to Milton Keynes yet the 'original' Wimbledon are now in League 2 after starting up with a handful of people. Now compare Rangers and Wimbledon! With our fan base, history, ex players, ex managers, Stadium, potential and the institution that is Rangers we would be up and running again in no time. There is already plenty of interest in ownership from all over. We'd come back as big and as strong.
-
I'll also support him. Nothing will ever take away his legendary status, he is probably a Rangers legend of legends if there is such thing. He has shown immense dignity recently. However he needs to draw up new tactic book!! In interviews this week before the game I felt he actually looked as if a massive weight had came off his shoulders, the bags under the eyes had gone a bit. I recently compared an interview with him in the summer and one last month and the difference was huge! But the other day he looked better again.
-
Apart from not having funds to release him and pay for a replacement, Jelavic and Naismith probably kept McCoist in a job until now, their ability seemed to be the difference in winning games and since they have both been out of the team we look awful and lack any new ideas. McCoist just doesnt seem willing to change things week after week. I thought McCoist would be his own man, be a more adventuroues manager and play more attacking football but he seems to have taken the words 'set out not to lose' from Walter onboard. Yet WS could win matches. I dont have confidence in the trio, Ally, Kenny and Durrant. From day 1 i felt a experience No.2 should be helping Ally out and would have made the difference. Ray Wilkins is always the first name that comes to mind. Players need to take responsibility but they arent picking the team and tactics. They also cant drop themselves when in a bad run of form.

It would have to be a red apple mind! No green ones allowed.

Sir Alex Ferguson: Rangers administration is â??a tragedyâ??
Gribz replied to a topic in Rangers Chat
Whilst I dont trust Whyte Im not sure why Ferguson can quickly point the finger so fast at Whyte and ignore the mess was caused by those before him.
