I see what you mean but there were two attackers clear on the left. What if the winger crossed? Perhaps Goldson was aware of that hence a bit of hesitation. 

It wasn't perfect defending but I don’t think you can single out any one of them to carry all the blame. 

This is easy. No excuses.

I don’t think a second or two was available.

The only way to make this relevant is for us to do our business tomorrow night. Not fuck it up like a certain shower across this city.

 

Come on Rangers.

The team talk is easy tonight.

”celtic are in the next round. Rangers aren’t - yet”

Less of the smiling, Bill. Try sneering.

Very good. Nice to see names shamed.

let's hope we don't make an arse of it on  Thursday

We auld yins have been here before, eh compo.

Last night I didn’t know they had a game ‘til I saw the result here.

I’ll reserve full gloat until after Thursday.

In retrospect, it was Watford who surprised me.

Pointless exercise. The two league games should have been designated additionally as home and away legs of the Final.

Well, the title had me interested.

How on earth did that get into the paper?

Get your money on this. Cast iron, dead certs.

Liverpool 3-0 Norwich

Hammers 1-3 City

Bournemouth 2-0 Blades

Burnley 2-0 Southampton

Crystal Palace 2-2 Everton

Watford 3-0 Brighton

Hotspurs 5-1 Villa

Leicester 2-2 Wolves

Newcastle 1-3 Arsenal

United 2-1 Chelsea

Hard to argue that, compo. Sentiment clouds my judgement with Mr Struth so I’ll leave him and other Rangers managers out of the reckoning and agree 100% about Paisley.

The reserve five would be Bill Nicholson (‘Spurs) Joe Mercer (City) Stan Cullis (Wolves) Bertie Mee (Arsenal - brought them back from the dead) Bill Shankly No room for Busby or Harry Catterick.

Top five Scottish League managers excluding Rangers and Stein - Bill Shankly (Dundee) Tommy Walker (Hearts) Hugh Shaw (Hibs) Eddie Turnbull (Aberdeen, Hibs) Malky Macdonald (Kilmarnock)

You’ll see I’ve missed out the Sportsound favourites, Yogi and the two Jimmies. What do I know, eh?

You only need to look Cove Rangers, who will probably walk away with League 2 this season.

One must just trust in Providence that this will not come to pass. Looking ominous, though.

'Ace' is one of these meaningless cliches used by lazy journalists. My pet hate is so-and-so has 'lifted the lid' on an issue. As if they had been struck with a sudden inability to speak.

Correct. Don’t get me started or the topic will go off the rails. See what I did there? Twice.

Barker is a City ace, apparently.

What does that make Silva?

I wonder if ridicule is the answer. People don’t like being laughed at but don’t mind playing the rôle of villain.

What do you think, coop? You’re the psycho guy.

Banning bbc would be excellent but there would have to be considerable and presumably expensive advertising on ITV and SKY and I regret, also in the gutter press to explain the reasons. If it were done well it could be humiliating for the bbc.

Equilibrium at maximum levels.

Tom Execrable.

Good business for old Brendan. He’ll buy a more than competent replacement for £40M a d he still has the same amount for whoever else he needs.

Very hard to say. The team would have to get used to being attacked away from home instead of facing packed defences. Rangers were apparently better than both Derby and Blackburn for a narrow victory and a draw both at home. 

I take a guess at  just above mid table at best for a year or so.
