Tom Devine is a vile, bitter old man who deeply despises Rangers football club and its supporters.
And he thinks he can justify this hatred as an academic who thinks this makes him immune from any sort of accusation.His bigotry is acceptable, so he thinks. And his tactics are almost always the same: accuse the other side. The art of denial & deflection .
Throughout my life(I’m in my mid fifties now) I’ve watched the likes of Devine and his ethnicity with much curiosity. I refer to them as ‘tartan Irish’ who claim to be Scots but antagonise their Irish ancestry to get a reaction which they often get. Then the accusations begin.
Ive always believed these people want to turn Scotland into a ROI MK II, an anti-British state and now seem to have teamed up with our own homegrown SNP. But there are plenty who oppose it his & many within the Rangers support which seems to tip Devine and others over the edge periodically

The question I want answered is why was Murray's offer to settle for a one off payment rejected when many clubs in England were accepted.
Another unanswered question. Hopefully BDO will answer

I think if Lampard at chelsea whe i see this. Too soon for gerrard me thinks.
I also think Newcastle have previous in appointing former great players as manager and not working out for them.
The best players in the world don’t want to go to the north east. They’d prefer to go to London or North West (Liverpool & Manchester)

It's beginning to look like the Saudi backed takeover of the magpies is about to go ahead making them a new rich kid on the block and Mr Ashley a good deal richer .
I’d suggest Ashley lost a quite a bit at Newcastle over his time there. The problem Newcastle will have, regardless if who owns them, is that the best players in the world don’t want to live in Geordieland

Wouldn't touch Stevie with a bargepole he won one title in the poorest league for years if the magpies are spending serious money then you want one who's tried and tested over the course.
Just wish would have bought the toffees ?
But harsh. You need to remember what SG inherited when he took over Rangers

More time to pay back the debt ??? ?
The question that should be getting asked is why Whyte was allowed to build the debt up in the first place. And over a period of 6 month. Most other clubs didn’t get more than a month before HMRC came calling once they’d defaulted
Was it to allow the debt to get to an amount so as to allow HMRC to block the CVA?
looks that way to me. hopefully to BDO too.

Somehow I don’t think selling those players or auchenhowie would have stopped the oldco being put into a liquidation process. The questionable actions of HMRC meant that liquidation was the only option. I’m sure however BDO will be aware of this.

Child sexual abuse has happened in many organisations in many countries throughout the world. And probably continues. Unfortunate but true.
In addition to the prosecutions we’ve seen so far, the Celtic BC issue is also about whether there was a cover-up. If so football’s governing bodies have to get involved. Did the club gain an advantage in doing so? Sporting integrity springs to mind.

Amazing how many deluded people think if a player wins the ball in a tackle nothing else matters

Yeah, the referees spoke to their keeper 5 or 6 times about time wasting without booking hill him and then just gave up and allowed him to carry on.
Agree that Hibs were lucky not to pick up further yellows and maybe a red.
Nisbet was heading for a red card too for persistent fouling.

Delighted with the 3 points although it must be said the red card helped us.
I do hope our manager will persist with 2 up front like he did second half today. We look a much better side with 2 up front

The ball used today is a lot lighter than previous times. Maybe today’s players will be less likely to develop dementia from heading the ball than previous generations. If there is a genuine link.

Yorkie Bear,
Of course, you are correct.
However, I like hearing everyone's gripes and schimfs. Back in the day, I was amazed at how good a player Jim Denny was becoming. There was a distinct correlation between Jim's lack of game time and how mercurial he was becoming. Jim's demise arrived in Cologne, we were 2-1 up from the first leg and Jock Wallace announced a secret plan to tether Pierre Littbarski. I drove from west Berlin and was amazed at the 8,000 traveling support. My smile disappeared when Jim was announced in the team, he was the secret. Jim was tasked with man marking Pierre. We lost 5-1, Littbarski notched a hat-trick and made the other two.
I admire Ryan Jack as a player, each game this season I hope he is announced fit. I am sure my admiration is probably bubbling over in assessment? I believe he is the side's metronome, it is the tempo he injects and yet most fellow supporters view him as a languid player. At this moment, Ryan Jack is my panacea, his inclusion will improve our fortunes and all Rangers supporters' mental health.
???????
isn’t the cologne game you are referring to in 1982 ?
if so John Greig was manager. And Jim Denny long gone by then. And was it 5-0 ?

The current Rangers team should always have Morelos in its starting XI. He is our best striker by far

There's no threat because we can't get the ball there.
And when we do get it there we give it away too easily too often

Sakala is awful. We’d have been better keeping Itten

Haven’t been able to get Roofe into the game at all so far.
He just gives the ball away when he gets it. Get Morelos on.

Very disappointing first half. Started well but now second best all over the pitch . We are struggling to score goals at the moment. We’re carrying very little goalthreat up front.

Bassey struggling at CB

We’re getting very thin on the ground for CB’s. I think it’s clear now Gerrard doesn’t rate Simpson & he’s not even in the EL squad

Disappointed not to get all 3 points but we simply cannot waste that number of good chances in a game.
Also I do worry about the goalkeeper position. Maybe time is now catching up on McGregor. McLauchlin is out of contract at the end of season. Has he maybe said he’s leaving ? That only leaves McCrorie whom we’ve seen very little of
