What game were you watchin??? Once again cant see wrong in Boydy boys eyes!! Jon, he was fuckin PISH!!!! How can you say he did as much as he could, if thats all he can do then i NEVER want to see HIM or a striker at that LEVEL again for Rangers or we will lose to celtic all the time!!!!! From your pass mark players then i dont agree with any! From you poor performers then i disagree with Mendes - he had plenty great touches, passes and would flourish in a quality team!

We've (me and Cammy for sure) have said this for a while and back to McLeishs time - swap our good players from these times out with average run of mill SPL players and we would be a average SPL club in the table!!! But those in NIAR were about 7 levels above what we can dream of now! We have went backwards, the scottish game has gone backwards!!!!

See what ur saying MF, but its still a 3 stage job for me, but they are slipping away from it!!! Stage 1 - steady ship- done and we finished 06/07 strong Stage 2 - contenders again 2 titles but could have been quadriple - job done Stage 3 - title delivered - slipping away!!!!

EDIT to first post: PLAYERS IN: HEMDANI - Play the man!!! ideal replacement for Thomson! Will stroll games and allow Mendes to push forward!!!

Was mainly having a go at todays players but included Burke coz Novos hair reminded me of him Yet your right with SOME more dead wood McCulloch - Call Bury and say we have a present for them Dailly - Used to be a good player, actually might have done ok today in place of Broadfoot!!!!!! Beasley - would have done better than Adam Miller - Sorry, i like KM becuase his 100% attitude does enough Hemdani - should have played today!!! would have strolled the first half with fuckin ease and laid the ball on a plte for Mendes to get forward - get him back in the team!!!

Should WS/AM/KM go now??? I was a big NO in the last poll, but we reach New Year and the league is out of our hands!! If Rangers and Celtic both win all there games now - not including the OF games - which we happen to win - then they still win the League!!! I still say give them this season, but it was a defining season!!! We need a turn in fortune soon - No for me!

Have to say I can see it now. I always thought his morale and bite would get him through games but he is dealing with such a lower level of players in the Era he cant do it now. The talent he had in 9IAR were brilliant, but in this era he hasnt 1 player who could make any team in the 90s.

1 OF game - we go to Parkhead and line up superbly and destroy them on ther on patch. Mendes ticks and controls EVERYTHING while THOMSON tidies up everything at the back! Davis almost convinces he should play RM all the time! The back 4 were awesome - led by Bougherra and his pace means Weir can stroll the game. upfront, Cousin shows how to play upfront! And miller chips in with good game and 2 goals. Home game: Ferguson returns and cant achieve anything. Whittaker returns and seems to play his own game. Broadfoot cant play centre half Davis - had a chance in first 5 mins, apart from that is poor Weir - needs Bougherra Mendes - class act, must be thinking WTF is going on! Adam - outclassed by Robson who I (yes me) played off the park 12 years ago!! upfront - Boyd was terrible, miller was ok first half but shite 2nd Why the change in teams!!! We were on course for brilliance!

Get the following out of the team!!! Once again we look like we are going to lose another title due to having continous SHITE players below RANGERS CLASS in the team Whittaker - absolute total balloon Broadfoot - Centre half your having a laff! Adam - Sunday league if that! Possibly the worst ever Ranger! Boyd - Kilmarnock level - didnt get a sniff or involved against Gary fuckin Caldwell and cant run worth a fuck!!!! - Anyone who thinks this guy will blast Rangers to a title is Deluded of the highest order - He just cant cut it!! He is a squad player for use against the rest of the SPL - accept it! JCD would have done a better job today!!! Lafferty - Makes Capucho look a legend! Burke - glad he wasnt near the team Weir - retire man!!! Ferguson - Lucky Thomson got injured or it would have been Thomson and Mendes for me!! Get IN: Fleck - unleash Aaron - unleash Novo - upfront / right MOVE: Davis - to centre midfield with Mendes

WS got the 2nd half very wrong! Instead of upping the tempo and putting on an impact player - the 2 things that were obviously needed to win the game - he just left the same team on and allowed Celtic to get into the game. Surely we knew Strachan was going to up his players after they were shite in the 1st half - but we assumed it would be more of the same. WS decisions have been questioned for the final time. Ive lost it with him. He is continually playing players who are not even sunday league standard ahead of good talent. Young Fleck and Aaron would have done 100 times better than Adam (wank) and Laugherty. Broadfoot - murder! Whittaker - eccentric idiot who thinks he has to skin every blade of grass! Adam - not even a sunday league player Boyd - topic over about him - average lucky player who cant EVER play at top level! Laughtery - 3.5 million - joke! Weir - Past it! Ferguson - past it to control games Where is Velicka? Why not start Novo? Why not play Aaron? Why not play Fleck? WS has it ALL to do

Just stuck a few bets on....2 for the OF and a line in the SPL matches Right enough Rangers moved from 7/5 to 5/4 so im not taking that alone Boyd 5/1 for first goal seems decent considering his form. First goalscorer in OF game could be anyone. Mendes 16/1 was tempting, Barry 12s was tempting but normally a centre forward at home is 3 or 4 to 1 so had to take Boyd at 5s. Also got a cover bet!!!

Choice of places for me also depending if i have a beer or not. If so then il either get a carry out and stay at home or head off to the Rangers Supporters Bar which is also a Scottish pub so may have a few mhanks - which could make the atmosphere a bit better.

What you talking about Jon??? West Ham didnt deserve a 4-1 win??? :fish: Arsenal had loads of players out and Villa had almost there strongest.

No more sleeps, Im up but with 12 hours until kick off i cant start drinking or i might be ZZZZzzzz by kick off time! Tempting though!

Imagine the outcry if it was the other way round! There would have been outrage and the BBC heavily fined if they used Tim.

Its getting beyond a joke! 4 out of 5 and 2 out of 3 twice Chelsea won Man Utd won Liverpool won Palace won Burnley lost at home to Barnsley West Ham won MK Dons won Newcastle lost (was a tough ask anyway) Birmingham won Oldham won Reading drew at home

Id play the 3 of them. Whether it be Miller and Boyd upfront with Novo on the left...or play Novo left, Miller right and boyd through the middle while pushing Davis into a trio in midfield

Left wing??? much better than Lafferty, McCulloch, Adam and probably Beasley

You havent got any money on that have you Juff?

But you can say the same about Boyd who makes no impact until he scores which can be like last week - 61st minute!! Who is to say Novo wouldnt do the same if he started and we persivered (sp)! He was superb in the season he played with Prso through the middle scoring 25 goals. EDIT: novo is a big game player and scores in OF games plus Europe away matches - thats an asset IMO and worth keeping!!

Why we didnt let McCulloch go for 2 million is beyond me. Personally I want Novo to stay and he would play almost every game for me. He is our best impact player and should be starting more games.

Yeah well I meant U21, Reserves or 2nd team. Im sure there would be some rule put in place to have a fair number of youngsters in the team.

I fancy Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd all to win but i wouldnt touch that Villa v Arsenal game on the coupon although Arsenal are 2/1 which is tempting! Fabregas joins Eduardo, Walcott and Rosicky out injured and Adebyeor is suspended! But if guessing the outcome then il go Villa but who knows with Arsenal. Stoke 0-2 Man Utd, 12:45 Chelsea 3-0 West Brom, 13:00 Portsmouth 1-1 West Ham, 13:00 Tottenham 2-0 Fulham, 13:00 Liverpool 3-0 Bolton, 15:00 Man City 2-2 Hull, 15:00 Middlesbrough 1-1 Everton, 15:00 Sunderland 1-1 Blackburn, 15:00 Wigan 0-1 Newcastle, 15:00 Aston Villa 2-1 Arsenal, 17:15

1 more sleep....but then i have to wait until 8:30pm for the game :box:

I dont think the other SPL sides would go for the idea of the OF being allowed to swap players between leagues. When the going gets tough we pull players from the Atlantic squad into the SPL games - that sounds unfair to me. Even though we are 1 club we would be spilt and have to submit squad players to each league. Then there is the issue 2 Rangers sides could qualify for the CL. If we have 2 squads and the U21's won the SPL then why shouldnt they get a crack at the CL qualifier. This idea has got to be thought through to a huge extent. The idea of playing U21's in the SPL would be good but i dont know who it would fit it.
