RANGERRAB

Any news on the Polis Alba investigation into the missiles thrown at tav? 
No Yahoo arrested yet? Or have the keystone cops lost the evidence again?

Peter's place men fill a number of designations in the Scottish game.

 

Chief Executive of the SFA - Ian Maxwell.

President of the SFA - Mike Mulraney.

Chief Executive Officer of the SPFL - Neil Doncaster.

Chairman of the SPFL - Murdoch MacLennan.

Head of Refereeing - Wullie Collum.

 

In fact, they fill them all.

Thought Maxwell was a Rangers man?

and is there a compliance officer these days?

Appointed by whom i wonder? Maxwell?

After a shocking first half we finally got going and prod some excellent stuff second half.

I thought all the subs played well when they came on

Ridvan is another fully paid up member of the ‘ always injured’ fraternity

I think that is the most damning stat I've seen so far.....

People need to realise that isn’t the managers fault. Signing players with previous injury records has to stop. These players were signed by previous managers & DoF’s

SAF used to always say before you sign a player….check his attendance record. 

So who will play CB alongside Ben Davies? Surely not Leon King. No offence to the lad but he’s garbage

They did indeed benefit from both. It’s called corruption in Scottish football from biased officials.

also recall the recent game v Motherwell at ibrox when Casey took out McCausland. Similar or identical to Lundstrum yesterday.

No VAR intervention in the Motherwell game but Lundstrum red card after VAR

I’m hearing Police Scotland launching a probe into missiles thrown at Tav yesterday.

( after Tav handed the missiles to Collum is it normal protocol for the referee to throw them behind the goal ?)

Can admin change the title from SACK THE BORED to SACK THE BOARD

I don't think it's all doom and gloom. 

 

We're making progress behind the scenes. The commercial side is improving.

 

I much prefer our footballing structure to theirs. They're in a false position after 10 years of easy CL money, not because they're well-run per se; they've had it easy. 

 

We've got our recruitment wrong in the last few windows and haven't sold when values were high - mainly because we didn't have a DoF with more control and left it to a manager. The Beale appointment was a mistake, too. 

 

We should have won the league this year, despite poor recruitment, letting them have a head start after Beale's poor start, and a squad decimated by injuries. 

 

We've got a good opportunity this summer with a lot of high-wage players out of contract. 

I know we’re going over old ground here but if we’re having a DoF it needs to be the right guy. Wilson wasn’t 

I do know there are 1 or 2 high profile business people in Scotland who would be prepared to put money into Rangers but it’s not as simple as that. These people don’t hand over money & let the incumbents get on with it. They want influence & control over the running of the club which usually means getting their own people into positions of power. 
King’s shareholding is available as is Park’s as far as I’m aware. Anyone investing would might want them removed hence buying up their shareholdings.

Your the only other person I’ve seen say that, I’ve said myself plenty from what I have seen of him he looks a waste of 6 million. Not sure why so many see him as some kind of striker panacea.

He’s too lightweight for me

The fee the guy is quoting is £21M - probably not all "up-front" but anywhere near that is a brilliant fee. 

Now we have to replace Butland 😩

I’m still trying to figure out how Lundstrum was a red card today but the Dan Casey challenge on Ross McCausland wasn’t in our recent game v Motherwell

If he thinks Tom Lawrence has the fitness/energy/heart to win a midfield battle at the piggery I would not trust him with any money at all.

I can’t understand his reluctance to play Raskin. He’s a battler which you need in an OF fixture 

At the end of the day it’s another OF defeat & 3 out of 4 this season in the league is totally unacceptable.

We must hope for better recruitment in the summer although it’s looking like CB’s will take up a big chunk of the budget. 

Damage limitation now

Vital we keep 11 players on the park for the whole game. Especially as we’ve got a cheat as a referee

FWIW, I'd also like to see the manager make staff changes. We need improvement in our play as much as anything else.

This is a very good point, something I’ve been thinking for a while

Yilmaz has played 10 mins in the last 6 or so weeks. Huge gamble starting him in a game where we know they'll come out the traps flying. 

 

CH pairing of Davies and Souttar gives me nightmares.

 

No wide players which means we will rely on Tav and whoever plays LB to get the service to Dessers. Thus will leave us exposed to Celtics wide players. 

 

I have a horrible, horrible feeling about tomorrow.  

If Matondo is fit he must play. Even for an hour or so. The manager needs some sort of game plan & tactics for this fixture… otherwise we’re doomed 

I’ve said it before on here, that when we go to the giro dome priority number1 is to keep 11 players on the park. Tomorrow we can expect a shitebag of a referee who will be afraid to give any major decisions against them like Walsh was last time around.

It’s vital we get control of the MF. I’d even go 4-5-1 with three central MF players and matondo wide. Dowell or Lawrence would make up the 5

Finally it’s important the players ignore the yahoo circus going on around them and concentrate on their owngame. They(the yahoos) are no world beaters. Hearts have won there already this season in the league.

We need to cut out the stupid mistakes before we think about anything. 

We shouldn’t be signing Cortes until he’s proved himself over a lot more games. Another loan spell maybe if his parent club would agree to that
