This is the thing, a lot did see through the football. It was there to see against Queen of the South in the cup final when they outplayed us for parts of the game

Its simple facts then folks!!! I hope WS doesnt sleep tonight and is worrying about the amount of strikers he has compared to the lack of midfielders.

Im not at all surprised we went out, its been on the cards since pre season as last seasons form and poor players have continued. And playing Liverpool last saturday!! The only thing I can say is well done SDM for that one as the revenue was badly needed!! Maybe most Gers fans will realise the team is FULL of average run of the mill SPL players. In the current squad only Cuellar, Papac, Hemdani, Ferguson, Novo and Cousin have the ability for a Rangers shirt with the exception of the new players and youngsters like Fleck who need a chance. A comment on a few players: I dont know what McGregor is doing at the moment but id start with Alexander this weekend until AM gets his finger out. Whittaker - 1 solo goal is the only thing he has ever done. Weir - Its sad when we are relying on a 38 yr old at the back. Papac - He's been impressive. Broadfoot - A typical WS signing similar to the likes of Bollan in the 90s. I cringe when I see him in a blue jersey. Webster - We'd be better off taking someone from A&E Dailly - Another who has gone way of the boil and shouldnt be in the team McCulloch - Imposter compared to the player who first signed Adam - He's too easy to criticise but he should be sacked first thing in the morning. Thomson - Everyone on here has raved about him, for me ive never seen much to impress except in a handful of games. Id rather we got Scott Brown TBH Hemdani - WS doesnt rate him which is a shame Novo - I like the wee man and shows the exact attitude the others should. Miller - He is in for a hard season unless he gets off the mark Boyd - Kilmarnock was his level Darcheville - Cant even complete 90 mins but WS plays him

Im going to watch this game with utter interest now to see what exactly team comes out and how they perform. To say the players and management owe it the fans is an understatement.

I hope this is the wake up call for everyone who thinks we are a half decent team and the likes of Adam etc are good enough. We arent much better than the average SPL side.

I have to say I can see him moving on now even though he wants to stay as SDM will want the revenue

Yeah i saw that on the internet and it was terrible

Albertz is younger than Weir and played pretty much a high level in the last few years - he could EASY have done a job for us as a squad player.

Anyone seen the Scream films?? His face is the double of the mask used by the killer in that!! Seen as there is a thread about him we may as well discuss him. I was wanting McCulloch for a while before he signed and when we got him i thought it was a great signing. He started off pretty well but since the turn of this year he has looked a different player for the worse. He looks unfit and slow. During this summer he was one who has said he will step into BF shoes, well thus far in pre season and in the Kaunas 1st leg he has looked even worse. The big man needs to get his finger out and he could be an important player again.

Give me Laudrup and Albertz as they are now ahead of Adam and McCulloch!!!

Im just frustrated with the lack of midfield signings. But I do agree that the transfer window is open until Aug 31 so nothing has been concluded. However we have known for a long time that we NEED an attacking midfielder seen as Buffel wasnt in the plans, then Ferguson gets injured and there is still no mention of a player bar Davis which has even went quiet this week. We had a chance of Varynen for a decent price along with Lovenkrands and Davis. If we got those 3 Id be very confident that we would be going into tonights match with a bit of a lead. Everyone knows I rated Buffel but I still find it baffling we would let him go rather than pay the fee to Feyenoord - this fee was a 10th of what Fulham want for Davis - that puts it into perspective

Yip agree with that. When players disrespect the officials with foul mouth language then straight reds should be given. I suppose the refs are only doing what they are told/taught but the start/stopping of games and always given decisions the wrong way is at a poor level

Erm...im all for given them a pay rise if they earned it, but last season was the worst ive ever seen from SPL refs.

Give me Maloney over Adam anyday. Thats probably who he would replace. I dont buy this Adam is our dead ball specialist.

Maybe 2 big strikers plus Novo to run onto the flick ons maybe the best way to go. We know Nacho has the nack of nicking important goals

I go jogging almost every day but I still eat chocolate most days, have fast food once or twice a week and the odd weekend booze up - as Im not in a job that requires me to be an athelete

The Brown family in the top left corner

Ive got a club tie from years and years ago still in its plastic wrapping. I was given it when I was about 9 from a family friend from Glasgow who has lived in Canada for 35 years, so it could actually be from any decade. Ive never wore it. Next time im home il look it out and try find out when its from.

I see you havent been signing any strikers in the transfer window Fraser!!!

I cant believe we would look at another left sided player before a right sided player

But qualifying for the CL is well over by the end of the transfer window and what if its too late??? Id say its more naive of WS to fix or not even address the midfield problem last out of the 3 outfield positions, while Ferguson was injured and after the CL qualifier.

LMAO The QE2 could turn faster than what I saw Boyd attempt on Saturday.

The comments about McCulloch and Darcheville were actually quite amuzing. I agree with him on Hemdani, he is always assured on the ball and should be a starter IMO. Agreed on Adam 100%, he is attrotious (sp). Disagree on Broadfoot, he should be a back up defender. And disagree on Boyd. I cringed near the end of the game when Boyd had a half chance in the box, his turn was embarrassingly slow and his arms were flapping. He is about a mobile as a hippo.

I would really like to see the club record a new sound track of the songs they play over the tannoy before the game and at half time. The CD they have is done by the worst high pitched singers and almost gives you a head ache more than anything else. Its not catchy one bit.

Good stuff Fraser. I noticed LIverpool had a decent crown up and I think thats always good to see at Ibrox. Pity none of the other SPL clubs could take a similar crowd, it would help get the atmosphere up.
