The trust is the only organisation ive ever heard backing or doing good for the Rangers support. Its certainly not Rangers FC anyway.

Im glad i never had a bet this weekend. Holland drawing at home to Romania and England drawing would have let me down from 9 wins. I should have known better with England but id of bee fooked off with the Dutch.

Pretty impressive goalscoring record. No doubts Walter will be searching high and low for players to go for in the summer. And these are the type id welcome. I wouldnt be a happy bear if Gow, Broadfoot and Mcdonald are our only signings.

The BBC website gossip page said we are looking at Bosco Balaban the Ex Villa striker. Cant remember much about him but he is more appealing than Scott McDonald.

Definatly Pet Shop Boys - Go West I think we were the first to start singing "Rangers are the champions" and it reminds me as far back as 1994 at my first OF game at Hampden when we stuffed Celtic 3-1 - we sang it loud that day.

You have a point, Sky tv does manipulate the viewers but it still is a cracking league and the best in the world IMO as it creates the most interest. I only think Terry, Rio, Gerrard and Rooney are there world class players, after that they are good players. There is no way they want to play us right now coz they know they would get a real game. If they wanted to play us then they would have invited us to open Wembley but they know they risk losing and we would bring enough fans to fill wembley twice. They want to believe they are the best nation in the UK, but right now Northern Ireland and Scotland would give them a real run - after all both teams have beat them last time they played England.

We need to take confidence that Celtic matched AC Milan for 180 mins and we pretty much matched Inter Milan last year. Its an illusion that Italy are all mighty. They didnt over impress at the world cup, i just think they have a mentality to win a tourament every so often and it was there turn last year. They dont really play at pace - something that will suit us. McLeish baffles us against lower opposition (for Rangers) but he seemed to get it right it away big european games so im pretty confident he can get the team right. Beating Georgia was a massive result. We needed at least 3 pts from these games as 2 draws or 1 point would have knocked the stuffing out of us. So we can afford to relax a bit. We dont need to play 5 at the back now but I wouldnt mind us setting our stall out for a draw. After all qualification is the main target and we would all take a point in Bari. Pressley being back is a boost IMO as he always does well for Scotland. We need energy in the midfield to put tackles in and frustrated the Italians. Scott Brown has to play after what ive read from when he came on. I dont know if id go 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 yet as packing the midfield is a must to frustrate them. C'mon the Scots, a boring, dull, shitty 0-0 will suit me

Yeah we havent nicked a game late on in recent years. Only Billy Dodds strike in a 3-2 win against Estonia at Tynecastle and Richard Gough's famous header in Cyprus in 1989 in the 14th minute of injury time to give us a 3-2 win were our only late winners.

I never saw the game so cant comment on Shota, but I agree with Cammy's point and Im a follower if the national team and had many a debate about it. I listened to that twat Traynors phone in again this morning and there were a few callers just phoning up to have a go at Gers players (and McLeish) and backing Celtic and aberdeen players. Aberdeen fans are the worst, they think Anderson, Severin and Mackie etc should all be in the team and its a Rangers conspiracy that the are not. FFS those 3 are pish bar Anderson on the odd game. There is a huge anti rangers element within the Scottish support.

Yeah you just know they will nick it somehow and qualify. But hopefully not. I still think they gotta to go Russia. I dont mind some of the england players but im not a fan of the FA or McLaren. He couldnt pick his nose never mind an team. Why cant he pick a few players on merit and gel a team rather than picking over rated primandonas. Lampard needs dropped, Leighton baynes should have played etc.... But he lays Carragher (who is an awesome centre half) at full back JUST coz he should be in the team. I hope they miss out

Another lacklasture performance from England and they are 5 points off Croatia.

Nice one Ian, you must have had a pretty good jump when we nicked the win. Good result and we needed that 3 pts ahead of Italy on wed. Not sure on the performance as never saw the game but to have 4 wins out of 5 is still a great start.

Anyone know of a site or link where I can watch the game for free??

Im surprised that McManus has been given the nod. I dont like the odds at all 4/11 is too generous towards us. I dsay evs would have been about right. I think we will nick it 1-0 with a second half goal. Georgia are a decent side. Anyone know of a live link where i can watch it online?

Every time i look at the hall of fame at Coop's page I always get a suprise at the amount of Scotland caps he got, he should have had whay much more IMO. In this day and age we have players getting 50 caps for scotland who couldnt lace cooper's boots.

One thing il be interested in here is the Spurs fans in Spain - how they act and how they are treated.

The man of reason!!! Most probably find themselves nodding off to his posts with the length of them - Joking Cal, pleasure to have you back.

Give it to me if it is bud, il probably be over in May

And welcome back Calscot

Not strange at all Pete. An earlier post critisised my continued posts about Boyd not being good enough and I said I wasnt the only one. Gav and Cammy are the other outspoken ones of this and Gav was just getting this point across. Confusion sorted

Its a very laughable system and its got out of hand how much a joke it is. The fixtures have fallen kind for us but we could be done with Dundee Utd and Motherwell pulling of shocks in the next 2 weeks to make it interesting. Imagine having to go to Pittodrie on the last day to win the league!!!

What train?? Havent heard that term before, it must be Belgian. Agree with juffery that he has bags of talent and i personally like him but he has suffered from playing out of position. We could be done with him in the last month when WS was playing the 4-5-1.

Scotland are 4/11 with the bookies - that is a very poor price. I wouldnt have thought they would have been lower than 8/11 or 5/6.

Of course im kidding, i just threw it in for a laugh to see who would notice It would still be tricky to pick a winner but il go moldova

Quashie definatly out of both games. Tough choice whether to move Hartley in the centre then Burke or Brown wide right or put Brown into the centre. I hope its one of these moves as Brown or Burke are capable but i hope its not Severin or Teale brought into start. When you think of it we have 75% of our first choice midfield out (Quashie, Fletcher, McFadden).
