RANGERRAB

Relieved we got the 3 points but I hink we need to review our tactics playing against Inverness & Ross County where everyone in their team seems to be 6'6"

Lumping the ball up to Garner today was never going to work. He got little change today

The signing of Bougherra was classic WS. He knew how to play the yahoos.

It was speculated in the mhedia we were after Glenn Loovens from Cardiff. But the yahoos, allegedly, beat us to him.

Hilarious. After the yahoos paraded Loovens WS went out & got our real target which was Bougherra

Boogie was ten times the players Loovens was

I suspect it's a done deal.

I hope so. Jota ticks a lot of boxes as far as I'm concerned. Should be a good signing if true

Summer signing Matt Crooks wants out of Rangers after just six months and is keen on a loan move back to England, according to reports.

 

The towering midfielder has grown frustrated at a lack of top team action at Ibrox with just one start and two substitute appearances to his name. His cause wasn’t helped by an ankle ligament injury picked up soon after his move north from Accrington Stanley.

 

Now the Daily Mail say the 22-year-old wants to head back south for the second part of the season in search of first team football.

 

A shortage of midfield options at Ibrox could curtail any potential move however.

It wouldn't surprise me if he wanted to leave or go on loan somewhere.

Given our MF injury situation he can't get into the team & we're lookingg at MF players like Jota

Only in special circumstances should we be signing players over 30 years old.

We need to have a squad of players with each with resale values

Can't see him getting much game time there. Burnley brought in a few players in the summer & have done reasonably well this season

You've got it the other way round though. Whyte involved green.

So what about the Bill Miller bid getting preferential status before he withdrew. What was that all about ? And was Brian Kennedy not told had Rangers at one point?

Not necessarily.

 

The object of the game was to make money, had Green played along and not got greedy himself we may never have known of Whyte's involvement in Sevco 5088 (barring the CF leaks of course).

If sevco5088 had gone ahead & they tried to sell a Rangers Whyte would have been found out then I'd have thought. The aim was to sell Rangers at its realistic value surely

It was Whyte and Earley who found Imran Ahmad and Green as a front, it's not a case of Green involving Whyte.

But Whyte had been banned sin die by the SFA. His involvement would have been discovered St some point surely?

Whyte had been banned sin die by the SFA.

Why did Green need to involve him at all in Sevco 5088 ? This is the bit I don't get.

Terry Butcher was disgracefully treated by Souness when he left Rangers. Maybe that still hurts him. If so can't say I blame him but I certainly don't think he's anti-Rangers nowadays

Forgive my ignorance here, but does Whyte still have the 80 odd perecentage shareholding in oldco SDM sold him for a quid?

Most of the OP is already known surely? Not much we didn't already know?

I'm just glad we won. We need to start playing in Europe next season

Can I cynically suggest if Malky MacKay was an ex-Rangers player he'd wouldn't be getting considered for this position

If MacKay gets appointed I presume Scottish football won't be having any more SHOW RACISM THE RED CARD campaigns or such like ever again?

Scottish football & the SFA's credibility is at stake here

I've just checked the list and they are indeed attending.

 

That's just embarrassing and tacky. Perhaps I shouldn't therefore be surprised that they are attending.

Three slavering yahoos eager to report back to Liewell no doubt.

no it's not

They'll be very interested in an inside view of what happened to us

so they can avoid the pitfalls

why not ?

Inside view of what happened? It's very simple

SDM sold to Whyte( perhaps not voluntarily) then Whyte deliberately caused an insolvency event which led to liquidation after a CVA was refused.

Thereafter the club & it's assets were sold to individuals with little interest other than making themselves money. Nearly two years ago Rangers-minded individuals took back control following an EGM.

Not rocket science

Who know Kiernan might get an international call-up.........

The supports are there to stop the whole stand from blowing away Rab. If the wind got under it, it would take the roof off. Because the roof is attached to the stand structure the lot would disappear like a kite. When there are punters sitting in the seats the centre of gravity is lowered and stops the stand structure from taking off. From the original design they inserted additional ties to hold the roof on to the structure to prevent it breaking off completely. But no doubts it's the punters holding the whole thing down.

Technically you are both correct - the supports hold the roof onto the stand. They are both holding it up and holding it down from blowing away.

Regardless of what you say the safety of the whole stand & it's roof looks questionable to me with or without these 'supports' or whatever you want to call them.

And these people think our ground is unsafe ?

no there isn't any chance of the roof collapsing if the supports are removed. The supports actually hold the structure down and are needed only when the stand isn't full. The weight of the crowd is important. That's my understanding of it.

Think you'll find supports are used to hold something UP not DOWN. Otherwise they wouldn't be supports would they ?

I wouldn't sit in that stadium & certainly not in the main stand

Why were those three stands allowed to be built? The old Shellik board(whytes& kellys) said CP couldn't be redeveloped. What changed?

Sellik's Main Stand was reconstructed during season 70/71, they played home matches at Hampden that season. There has been rounds of constant litigation akin to to Bleak House's notorious case, 'Jarndyce and Jarndyce' ever since. A civil Engineering report some twenty-odd years past, demanded two wind-in/wind-out steel pillars be placed at either end of the pedal bin roof, as necessary support for the structure. The supports are removed(wound out) an hour before kick-off, and replaced(wound in) an hour after.

 

As for safety certificates, when McCann rebuilt the North Stand, the then Fire Officer would not issue said certificate because of the tunnel created by the stand's considerable over-hang, up and over the 10 foot high graveyard wall, at Janefield Street(one of three streets sold to ra Sellik by the then GDC, for a penny). Another Fire Officer was found, who saw the situation, 'the Sellik Way'.

And of course there is absolutely no chance of the roof collapsing during a game when these supports are removed ????

But the biggest issue of all is how McCann got planning permission to build three new stands after their old board said you couldn't build on that site. Rumours of old mine shafts underneath meant redevelopment supposedly wasn't possible.

I've never heard of this before? That's quite extraordinary.

GOOGLE their main stand & look at the images. You can't miss these pillars which get removed on matchdays obviously for viewing purposes. I don't know either til I was told about a month ago.

Since McConnell & John Reid made SLAB unelectable, the yahoos have all jumped ship to the SNP.

Dornan is a media junkie& SNP MSP( he was on Scotland tonight again last night) trying to win votes & support from the yahoos here over an unfounded story from an unreliable source. TheRangers board must now come out with a clear statement that these stories are complete nonsense & anyone saying otherwise will face litigation

FWIW there is only one stadium in Glasgow whose safety certificate I'd question and that in the east end. It's regards their old main stand whose roof is held up by pillars which are removed on matchdays. How unsafe does that sound?
