RANGERRAB

Reinstate his ban. Make it sine die

Sectarianism is an industry in Scotland which now employs otherwise unemployable people in mostly in politics & the mhedia.

The slightest little incident gets blown out of proportion so as to justify the existence of these cretins most of whom have a clear anti-Rangers agenda and deliberately overlook the antics of other clubs some of which have much bigger problems than Rangers i.e. the yahoos.

Until we challenge these individuals it will continue & the club must do more likewise.

Josef Stalin would be proud of this sort of thing. Welcome to Scotland 2016.

Keevins was hinting Wright would walk if O'Haleran wasn't in his team this Saturday. maybe there will be a deal after this game. Richard Wilson reckoned both clubs evaluation of the player was the same and the hold up was "details" to be agreed.

Usual nonsense from Keevins.

O'Halloran is not staying with St Johnstone because a fee is involved & St Johnstone have to accept that fee regardless if it is from us or someone else.

It was the same with Allan at hibz when a fee was involved he was going and hibz made sure he wasn't going to us. Their pals duly helped them out although the player(not being the brightest I wouldnt think) must wonder if he made a wise move.

The days when clubs like St Johnstone & hibz could turn down six figure bids for their players are well in the past

Could it be that St Johnstone sell players normally with payment instalments ? Could that be why we are being treated differently ? I don't know, genuine question.

 

Allan's situation is a red herring IMHO. Hibs were never selling him to us. I don't think it is a comparable situation.

Allan's situation was identical. He had to go only hibz didn't want to sell to us. They were rescued when their chums bought him from them despite accepting a fee far less than what Stubz said he was worth.

Had they not done so they'd have had to negotiate with us no matter how much they didn't want to as a fee was involved which they wouldn't be able to turn down.

the best way of answering St J would be to sign another target and leave them holding an unsettled player coming towards the end of his contract. They seem desperate why else would they continue running to the media every other day trying to force our hand

why would we sign a player we don't want?

@NewcoTed: The O'Halloran standoff is now a point of principle for the Rangers board. Why should Rangers be treated differently from any other club?

How are we being treated differently ?

Our board aren't stupid. They know St Johnstone are unable to turn down a fee for a players who's got just 18months left on his contract & won't sign a new one.

What St Johnstone are trying to do is entice other bidders to get more money i.e. start an auction. It doesn't look like there are any other bidders though.

It's not unlike the Scott Allan stuff at the start of the season. He had to go & Hibz eventually got £250k after Stubz told everyone Allan was a £1m player.

We're getting goals from more than Waggy. If Miller & Clark ensure we get more goals than the opposition, hibs can score as many as they want.

I wouldn't want to rely on Miller & Clark too much. That's why we need to strengthen up front

I'm personally not going to worry about another teams strengths or weaknesses..l unless we are playing them.

 

Hibs can only take a further 3 points off us this season and if we win our game in hand tomorrow then Hibs are already needing favors from others to overtake us.

 

Why can't we look at the results that WE are putting up ? We are scoring over 3 goals a game and despite a "blip" are still top by 2 points with a game in hand.

 

Has the last 3 years had us continually expecting the worst ?

 

I'm fully expecting us to win this league, January strengthening or not.

Admire your confidence but I'd expect that MW & SDoW would want to strengthen.

Don't forget we lost away to both Hibz & Falkirk. That concerned me.

There are still too many games still to play before we can be as confident as you seem to be

Hibs may have strengthened, but we haven't weakened. If we keep doing our thing & winning......whatever hibs do is irrelevant. Odds are that hibs will drop more points than we will - even with their strengthening.

What worries me is Hibz are better up front than we are. Miller is past his best & Clark isn't good enough. That places an over reliance on Waghorn and what would happen if he got injured?

Aye rab it's in today's paper...

Jings whit rhag might that be?

I agree dado but I expect to see at least two more loan players coming in bro...

Heard any names mentioned?

Let's hope they're not youth team players this time

so the last day of the window then that would be which is what warburton said he didnt want to do.

That is something I do not want to see happen

I don't think we will sign anyone before the close of the window

If we don't sign anyone else before the window closes we risk going into the play-offs again to get promotion.

Say what you like about hibz but they've been strengthening their squad this month. We should be doing the same.

I've a wee sneaky feeling that the jungles are going to gazump us again with o'halloran...

Are they intereested in him?

They've been downsizing year on year since we left the top division.

Not surprisingly their knuckle-dragging support cannot see this.

One thing that does concern me about O'Halloran - all the talk seems to be about his 'blistering pace'. When will he get to use that with us? 90% of the time we are up against a defensive wall with no room in behind. Has he got more than that in his locker?

I think O'Halloran may be signed more with next season in mind when we're hopefully in the Premiership

If we're still genuinely interested in signing O'Halloran we'll get him because St Johnstone won't be able to turn down a fee for him. Their bank won't allow it.

Anybody is allowed to watch whatever game they want!,maybe just having a look at Michael O'Halloran?,what's wrong with that?

Nothingwrong whatsoever mate.

FWIW I think O'Halloran would be a decent addition to our squad. He's got something we've not got -PACE.

On the face of it an amalgamation is a good idea but quite frankly I couldn't care less what it gets called.

It's what it does and how effective it is are the criteria it should be judged on.

It must not be too close to the board & be prepared to ask pertinent questions for starters like how we're going to fund playing squad improvements for our return to the top flight next season. And it should be prepared to challenge the pondlife in the mhedia and their biased reporting. It should also question the SFA & SPFL and the Rangers-hating individuals who inhabit these organisations.

There are lots of benefits from this if we can use this amalgamation to speak as one voice effectively

So the RST and RF are to merge?

O'Halloran has pace to burn which would be useful next season when(hopefully) we're back in the top division

This will combine existing groups that will no longer exist.

Which ones?

Yet another fans group? How many is that now we've got?

I really don't get all the fuss about not getting Diagouraga. We already have a player who can play his position(Dominic Ball) & have signed another on a pre-contract(Crooks)

My main concern is up front. We need to add a proven striker, even if it's on loan til the end of the season.
