RANGERRAB

As part of this so-called Lafferty deal, why would hertz want LW, a player who's hardly played over the past year ?

It is still early days yet but the signs are looking good. A year ago we'd have crumbled if we'd got a man sent off after 30minutes but today was totally different. We looked comfortable with 10 men against what was basically just a team of SPL journeymen. However I've got 2 concerns:- 1) the squad is still light. We need more cover in certain positions. CB especially 2) Morelos excellent start to the season won't have gone unnoticed. If we got a realistic offer could it be turned down ? Is that why we're looking at Lafferty? If Morelos goes he's the shoe-in replacement ?

Wonder if he’s longing for a return to the EPL or Championship.Soon will be methinks

Really pleased with tonight’s result. However first half for me there were too many silly mistakes under no pressure. And we could have lost more than one goal. Second half was a total transformation. Absolutely brilliant. Just hope we don’t live to regret conceding that away goal

Really pleased with the Barisic signing. Should be good value at £2m Maybe we should be looking more often in countries like Croatia for signings instead of paying over to he odds elsewhere. Any Croatian strikers we could be looking at ?

I always remember the first interview Souness did as Liverpool manager after he left Rangers. He spoke of his time as Rangers manager & who certain people in Scotland simply didn’t like to see Rangers doing well. Little has changed since then in this backward, inadequate little country

Barisic. Just think. If wee Kieran’s worth £25m what’s Barisic worth ? ?

Utter nonsense and they know it.

Great feeling to be signing Barasic for £2m, now the best LB in the Scottish premiership.... ?? ?? ???????

Wee Silly Billy Dodds calls Steven Gerrard naive....did I read that correctly ??? ??????????

Walker should be careful what he says. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Administration & the oldco being put into a liquidation process were nothing to do with EBT’s and tax avoidance. It was because of Whyte not paying over PAYE & NI deductions. The outcome of the BTC was unknown at the time Rangers went into administration. And in any case EBT’s weren’t illegal as Lord Hodge said at the SC. So no criminality. Walker should maybe focus on the goings-on at his own club during the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.

On a brighter note Craig Thomson has retired hasn’t he ? That should be worth a few points over the season for us

Hopefully we’re not going to have another season of appealing wrongly given red cards

Early days yet but signs are good

I think it was the assistant referee on the far side who got Morelos sent off, not Clancy. However SG was correct to highlight the two violent barges by the cart horse McKenna on Morelos. Were they missed by him ? Or did he think they were acceptable & within the laws of the game? That was bad enough but not giving straight red cards to DomBall & Stevie May just made the officials look completely incompetent & ridiculous this afternoon. One denied a goal scoring opportunity & the other dangerous play. Both straight reds At long last we may now have a Rangers manager who is prepared to call out these refereeing decisions against us which were all too frequent last season & have started already this season

I sometimes despair at where football is heading. what was the more dangerous today? Morelos ‘kick’ at McKenna or May’s ‘challenge’ on Jack which for me was dangerous play & a red card. It actually reminded me of the Schumacher ‘challenge’ on Battison in the 1982 WC

Hopefully a CB we’re close to signing. We’re short in that department at the moment

Plod Scotland (or polis alba or whatever they’re called) are the SNP’s centralised police force. They are completely useless.

Questions need asked of Plod Scotland last night. The Osijek ultras are notorious for trouble wherever they go. When they went to Eindhoven last year the Dutch police didn’t let them out their sight. Plod Scotland it would seem weren’t as meticulous in their planning.

We had to endure Radio Scotland on the supporters bus on the way home last night. The disappointment in big Reinhardt Gordon’s voice was most enjoyable.

I want to blitz this team tonight & ram the Osijek manager’s comments down his throat. Playing for 0-0 is dangerous.We should be aiming to beat this team by a least a couple of goals. Last week Osijek look decent going forward but there for the taking defensively. They should be leaving spaces at the back tonight we should be aiming to exploit

I agree Clyde got bad for a while but I think it’s now slightly better than it was but nowhere near BBC PQ.

Whether we like it or not,child abuse was perhaps more widespread than it was thought to be in years gone by and was found in a variety of organisations & sports including football. However the criminal aspect to this is for the authorities to investigate & take whatever action against those involved. All the SFA can do is investigate whether any of its member clubs attempted to cover up or ignore any child abuse that took place under its jurisdiction. One club in Scotland certainly has many questions to answer regards this in my opinion. I suspect our old foe Mr Regan wasn’t keen to do this hence he resigned

Say what you like about the pond life at BBC PQ but the joke’s on the likes of us who have to pay for this biased juvenile crap thro the outdated licence fee. in the real commercial world where BBC PQ would have to earn its income, nonsense like the stuff 26th foot refers to would have been binned long ago. I can honestly say I’ve never listened to any of the sports programmes on BBC Radio Shortbread and the pond life on these broadcasts would have crawled back under their stones long ago too

Hopefully hertz will do us a favour & knock back any further bids we make for Lafferty. do we ever learn regards signing players in their 30’s ?
