Gribz

And in a nice way aswell! 2-0 down to come back and win 3-2

So why is everyone saying its a done deal and expecting it like its imminent? Thats madness!! He could break his leg before the summer.

What if he is the difference to us winning the SPL? Sorry but Im the same as P&P with this, I cant even remember how he acted in a green jersey and dont even care. The guy is human and when he scores goals he has every right to celebrate or whatever he did when playing. Once again he isnt my first choice but I'll certainly get behind him until he gives me reason not to. He will definatly give us much more than some of the robots we have just now.

January will be interesting, once again we have to chop and change and cant have a settled squad. I can see outs: Buffel Boyd Hemdani (maybe summer) Cousin Burke Ehiogu Ins: Miller McEveley

Arsenal v Chelsea game was much the better. I was nodding off until it started and was glad I stayed up. John Terry is a tit and should have been sent off for that lundge on Fabregas then the kick out a few mins later. What can you say about Arsenals play, they are amazing. They have beaten Chelsea, played Liverpool off the park and only got a draw and drew with Man U. I think its safe to say they are totally back this year. BTW I couldnt believe it when the commentator said Wenger got Toure for 150k - the man is a genious.

Dont think we have our games in hand until next year mate

Couldnt do a double with those 2 games, but you could be up Craig with that first game

When I left this game to watch the 2nd half of Liverpool v Man U it was 2-0 the mkanks, now 3-2 to Inverness :cheers: :cheers: Unbelieveable

Half time in the first game Liverpool 0-1 Man Utd - Tevez 44th min Its been mostly Liverpool in the first half then Man U just pop up with a corner and score - typical Man U. Pretty good game though, hopefully Liverpool step it up in the 2nd half and give us something to watch.

Yip 2.2 milion for Miller seems a lot but not when we have paid the same (give or take a few thousand) for Naismith, Whittaker and Thomson all who have unconvinced me aswell and even Sebo who we didnt play.

If we were 4-0 up then that song is maybe justified. But we have a lot of strikers at the club getting games (Cousin, Darche, Boyd, Naismith, Novo, McCulloch) not to mention those not playing and we dont have someone regularly putting the ball in the net or even making chances. A lot of that is due to Smiths selections and continual changes. No doubt about it, Smith prefers certain players at his clubs to work with and Miller is one of them. I quite like him even though he struggled at Ibrox first time round and I actually think he would be decent for us this time if the fans gave him the chance. He isnt my first choice (far from it) but I know what type of player he is and what he will give us. All he needs to do is repeat his Scotland form from certain games.

I dont think many would have got a coupon up yesterday, there was a mass of pretty much freaky results.

I looked at the exact same teams Craig except Hibs for Celtic

There is an awful lot of homes on the fixture list this week in both the EPL and SPL. Will decide later but early viewing is putting me towards: West Ham Rangers Man City Derby

Yeah hopefully, and I can see Inverness making it tight but you just know they can score in the 93rd minute in games like this

Hibs v Falkirk - Home Win Killie v Gretna - Home Win Motherwell v Aberdeen - Home Win Rangers v Hearts - Home Win St Mirren v Dundee Utd - Draw Inverness v Celtic - Away Win

So England appoint a 2nd foreign manager in 3 bosses and a man with a great pedigree in Capello. Should Scotland go out and get someone with a decent pedigree also? I dont think we would get someone like Capello but we need to set our sights on someone good. The likes of Levein and Jefferies are just not for me.

Matt Taylor or George McCartney at West Ham would be good signings. I think McCartney will be available in January and we have been linked with him. David Murphy FFS, should we start playing our home games at Easter Road!

Just keep an eye on it from now on and im sure it will puzzle you all also. But also watch the change in size

Yeah the thing with Hutton was you need confidence after an injury like his. Every human reacts different from a break and I could see where Hutton was coming from due a back break I had a few years ago. It took my months before I would attempt anything I used to do prior to my break and I still worry about things now. Im not one of the moaners about having Scottish players in the team. Dont get me wrong, i like it, but they have to be up to the standard I want. With the resources we have, I expect Rangers to be lifting AT LEAST 1 domestic trophy a season and if we dont pick up the league title then I expect us to be a darn close second and not battling out for 3rd which we have done the last 2 seasons whilst not collecting a cup either. Its now 5 years since we lifted the Scottish cup and I just dont think we have been good enough. Players like Thomson and Whittaker are squad players for me. Thomson is edging on a starting place but Id like to see him in the team without Ferguson to judge him for a run of games.

Yeah I know, my point was that lots of Joe Bloggs in the street will be calling him an arse for being Pro-war and how he identifies they are just Rangers fans is great guess work from him (if he is right). Sorry I rushed my posts (just like most of them recently due to typing and working at same time - work is very inconsiderate at the moment and making not put so much time into here :devil: )

It will still look better on paper - Smith isnt actually going to pick the above team

Mate, Im far from saying Buffel is a winner. The winners Im talking about are Goram, Gough, Brown, Durrant, I Ferguson, McCall, Laudrup, Albertz, etc etc etc I dont expect the whole team to be full of winners like this but as Ive said Buffel for me deserves a chance due to his ability and the attitude he has shown lately. He has done the opposite as to what Klos did but still doesnt find a way back. Do we not offer 2nd chances at Ibrox? I also say he was played out of position many a time when he was played. I dont think we can say signing players like Whittaker is due to being skint, 2 million is a signifiant amount especially with the bosman rule, for eg Blackburn got Benni McCarthy for less than we paid for Whittaker. Its all about finding the right player at the right price. Look what Wenger and Harry Redknapp do in the transfer market - they idenify bargains and snap them up, yet all we do is tap the SPL sides and give them 2 million here and there for each player - its a nonsense. And playing people out of position is what can start an anti bandwagon - for example myself with Whittaker. He may well be a fine full back but Im judging him as a right midfield and I say he is not effective in that role - and its a role that is important in an attacking sense. Look at Craig Moore for eg - people used to boo him coz Smith played him midfield during 9IAR then Advocaat brings him back and he is a superb centre half. I also beleive in my opinion that when a player is a good enough standard for Rangers. Ive always been a Alan Hutton fan pre-leg break but didnt expect him to come on this far.

Dont mind that too much Hurlock but the wide midfield roles should always be natural wingers or midfielders IMO. Hutton could certainly go forward as he is an exception due to his attack minded play and skill but Whittaker at LM? - No thanks. YOu could put Beasley in there though and it would look better

It would be singleing us out if we were targeted as saying this as I think the opinion of him being Pro-War is shared with lots of the public.
