I just sat next to him on the plane inwards BTW, a 2 year deal could still be done :spl:

Funny you mention silly season, I was looking at Beckham being linked to West Ham today and thought - How good would it be be get Becks in a Rangers shirt! Not the best player in the world by a long stretch but for some reason he would just be perfect on the right of our midfield. (if he takes a 80% wage drop of course).

Did you always like wine from young age?? I just cant aquire the taste for it and people continuously say il eventually like it. My folks and sister drink a glass with dinner most evenings and the like to fuss about what bottle to open, Ive always wondered what the difference was!!! Indeed I am still out far east, I did happen to notice Australian wine is popular here - by all means fly out and il buy you a bottle or 2! (Sorry to everyone else for hi-jacking the thread and turning it into a wine chat between me and Barry - ban the guy if you want admin)

My word! how depressing! Might aswell go for Kevin Kyle to partner him.

And only once they hit 35

Im talking for Gav here....Kyle Lafferty 3.5 million.

Speak of the devil! ^ Wabash, send Barry my wine, Im not a vino drinker, plus shipping overseas costs quite a bit!

I had no idea we even had a scout!!! Should we not be suing this guy? Norwich done well last season aswell!!

Oh well, time for another can of beer then! I'll be back in 36 hours again asking the same question! But this is worrying, Wabashcannonball's posts are starting to show some posture! Maybe he is david Murray!!

I see your angle Craig but when you take it into reality that Boyd was offered 15k (would that be right?) PER WEEK - guarenteed for 4 years - plus add on's - for playing for the club he supposedly loves then I have no time for the "improving lifestyle" argument. He got greedy - end of! I think WS's comments are brilliant - "he is leaving". Seems to me there was a bit of negotitation but WS wants things sorted out so he knows what tools he has next season to work with. You cant fuck the club about and try to get a better deal for himself. Either show commitment of your out the door. WS, AM, KM all worked without contracts last season and Boyd said signing these 3 up was the priority, I think he was being patronising at the time. Most on here will know Ive never been a fan of Boyd and I am looking forward to seeing his comment in a few years time "leaving Rangers was biggest regret" - That is a banker to happen!

Ive missed the last 36 hours due to some party antics, and I dont think I can read 16 pages....can someone confirm has any takeover happened???? Word was on Friday it was a done deal but i still cant find any official word??

Yip agreed. Wearing a rugby shirt is bad enough but American Football squad numbers takes the biscuit.

Velicka does look very wooden and not mobile at all but he can score goals. I say we give him Pre season to get fit then judge him on his next performances. But we have had some desperate strikers. Marcus Gayle was as bad as it got. The only decent short term striker we had was Nieto. Did he not score about 5 goals in 3 games then we decided to punt him away?

A decent centre midfield / playmaker to fill in on the left??

Keepers top looks good!!

Im with Flying Hippo and Gav, not a fan of managers announcing they are leaving in advance, as Gav says i think its the reason it cost us 10IAR. This might be in different circumstances though as there is not as much pressure to be successful in Europe and to win a historic number of titles, it may lay a few ghosts to rest!! But its a good bit of news to bring some stability in. As for the McCoist debate on taking over next year - thats probably for another day.

Dont like collars on football shirts. The design is quite good and I like the Tennents sponsor. Will depend on the fit and material, Umbro's kits havent been great at all in the last few years. Adidas loyal

That is the most black and white statement regarding any takeover yet, not to mention its patronising. - He is practically saying Im stepping aside. The longer it drags the more doubt it creates. Surely he originally was waiting to see if we have automatically entry to the Champions League - we got that so his Plan A should have been in place weeks ago.

Would go along with that as his defence for poor performances. But the same can be said for Lafferty.

Agree with Gav, dont understand the hype about Adam, he was awful for Gers. Seems he sorted his weight out and is doing well for Blackpool - fair play to him but until he starts dominating games in the premier league I'll not be raving about him. Fair strike from the free kick all the same though! If that was Beckham they would be wetting themselves about it.

I dont see him as a great player or a future captain. He hasnt cut it on a regular basis for me. I find Davis and Edu far more appealing in the centre.

Me too Hurlock, was hoping for Forest to go up. I thought this game would have been Forest v Leicester as they were the better teams overall in the season but it shows 1) the play offs are anyones guess and 2) my predictions are shite

Looking forward to this one. It would be an outstanding achievement for Blackpool to win. Have always wanted to see Cardiff in the Premier League to see what the opinion of having a Welsh side in the top league is. Surely can only give the OF a chance of making the switch one day. But at the same time I dont like the way Cardiff have managed to delay their tax issues simply because they have a chance of making the money but other teams gets the bill straight away. A few ex Gers on display today. Let the best team win. Blackpool 1-2 Cardiff

Should be a good game, both going for Trebles having won their domestic league and cup. If this was an English team going for a treble the media would be wetting themselves over it. Inter were my bet at the start of the tournament and I put a cheeky tenner on them at 20/1 so Im hoping for them to come through for that only. Id rather see Bayern win it. They have been brilliant to watch this season as Ive got the German leagues games on TV and took a good interest in it this season. Im sure Pete will agree its an league that is under rated. Im going for Bayern 2-1 Inter

Im gutted. He would have been the first name on my team sheet. All the best to him, will be keeping an eye on Gijons scores next season.
