I always fancied Germany to win it but wouldnt bet on them at 4/1 when better footballing teams are around. But they just seem to always get there. Spain v Russia will be a good game and it would be nice to see the winners of this go on and win it

Well yeah that may be ok. Ive always said we cant play Boyd because of the system. If he is in a 4-4-2 where he can be a poacher and nothing else then thats when we can accomodate him.

Well top players tend to score in top games. Kenny Deuchar scored about 45 goals in the lower leagues per year but couldnt do it at top level!! Boyd bangs in goals against lower SPL teams and when he did ever feature in bigger games he is out of his depth at that level. Simple conclusion is he is fine for coming off the bench in SPL games and will get us goals but for Rangers first choice striker in important games we need a better player - this is also because we played 1 man upfront last season and he cant play that role.

Plus Gow has never had a chance at Rangers compared to Adam so he could have became a top scoring midfielder aswell. Adam stood out his best at St Mirren in the First Division while Gow stood out at Falkirk in the Premier League yet Adam gets his chance and Gow doesnt.

I think UFC is right about Cousins ability and his statements but we all saw first hand his headbutt in the UEFA semi which could have ruined our chances and at the time i wondered if he did it on purpose to get a move going. (had ha played in the final it may have been a different outcome). But the worst thing was he did it again in the very next match against Dundee utd! He went to Headbutt Wilkie (maybe we should be saying well done tho ) but to do it twice said to me his attitude stank and he didnt want to play for us.

No, im on holiday you gype

Or if play him in a midfield trio behind 3 strikers then buy him: ________Ferguson_______Davis________Thomson___________ _____Miller____________Velicka_________Lafferty/Beasley____

Whilst i you may be correct on Gow, then why does Charlie Adam get a game? He is in the exact same catergory and level for me - has shown flahses of skill but then normally goes 7 games of having a nightmare. I dont think Gow would have done any worse than Adam if he was given a run.

I agree with this but if he does play a deeper role there is not need for him, Thomson, Dailly and Hemdani to all be playing. A system has to be made by WS to get BF back into that role but he needs a creative attack minded central player to accomodate BF in that role.

Ive voted Ferguson as when he is on his game there is no doubt about it - he runs the show. But those days are becoming few and far between. As i said before, next season is huge for BF, if he is inconsistant again with going on 6 games playing below average then he has to get dropped. Also, Hemdani wouldnt be that far behind when he is on his game and everyone knows I rate Buffels talent. Ferguson, Buffel, Hemdani and Thomson all on there 'A' game would give us a superb midfield.

Id take him in an instant. He is the type of player we are craving for: Creative, fast, skillful and can score goals. Plus he is only 25 and Scottish!

Couldnt agree more

Would love to see us get McFadden. He has that bit of magic that some players cant do.

And the fact ive got them on at 22/1 It would be good to see them winning it. But typically the English are starting to say they were in a tough qualifying group now just because the Russians are going well.

Hull City rumoured to be making a 3 million pound bid for Boyd.

Surprising result and thats my dutch bet buggered, but ive still got the Russians on aswell

Whats the opinion on our captain then? Ive bo doubt about his commitment to Rangers, he is a blue thru and thru but IMO since coming back in 2004 and being handed the captaincy its made him a worse player. On his day he is easily the best player on the park - and that can be on any stage - but IMO he has become far too inconsistant and is getting a game on reputation over fitness/form. For me he is now in last chance saloon. If he doesnt take this season by the scrub of the neck then its time for him to move on. The other problem for him and probably his main problem, is working out his best position. He is no way a midfielder who can support the front man. He is quiet creative and can spread a pass or two but having a De Boer player defintaly complemented him. Come on Barry!! Ship up or ship out.

Id say 16,984 are bang on :cheers:

Hilarious!! But so true. He gets a 10 for one thing but is on 2 and 3 for the rest.

How you working that out?? :fish: Gerd Muller and Kris Boyd LMAO

Agreed, he is a great player. Id love to see him a Rangers shirt.

Gerd Muller and Kris Boyd :fish: No chance

Linked with the mhinks @ 5.5million. Have to say he is probably worth 7 million http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/birmingham_city/7467278.stm

I dont believe that we cant get shot of him. The likes of Hamburg wanted him a few months ago. Im sure he and his agent are on holiday and will pick up on it later. But to say he has no ambition, character or fight plus sit around and take the money is bollocks and totally nonsense!! He has showed up week in week out in a reserve team at Clyde etc to try and get back into the first team and we havent heard a peep from him complaining. He has shown what lots of Rangers fans ask for "Dig in and keep trying" but has simply not been played due to the 400k payment due to Feyenoord. but to say he lacks ambition, character or fight is nonsense

Dont worry, im sure i did the same with Bob Malcolm once
