Beaten in the SC by ICT - as usual.

Denied a stonewall penalty. Shame.

I wish Rousseau had seen these old-time players. He has the words to do them justice in the way most of us can't.

We could have fielded but never did:

Greig (metronome and destroying if required)

Davis (master destroyer)

Baxter (creative genius)

The more aged among is will recall Hearts could have done the same with Cumming, McKay and Young operating in the three roles. Cumming could do the destroying as well and McKay wasn't short of metronomic or creative abilities. In fact that's a bloody scary midfield three if you don't wear maroon. Thank God the system hadn't been invented.

And they will stop King too and let him take it to appeal where it will most likely be upheld.

What will be upheld? The decision or the appeal?

Google images for Jock Shaw and there's Tiger in blue with a white collar. Nothing more needed so long as the socks are black and red.

To think the SFA did nothing like this to prevent Whyte taking control nearly four years ago.

Will no one ask them that question?

If they had done, we would all have been screaming to lay off, it's none of their business etc. etc.

After the fact we were all screaming that they stood by and did nothing.

Now with one or two notable exceptions we are screaming at them to rubber-stamp DK's appointment.

My message to the SFA? Get on with it. DK tried to skip round some tax burden in RSA. We all know it. Rangers shareholders are content (most of them). The Court of Session is content. Let the guy get on the park.

What's this?

The US Masters. Augusta. Florida

And the talk of the press tent is whether some low rank journo from a no rank newspaper can get an interview with the owner of a sub rank European soccer club?

I expect Nicklaus and Tiger and the rest think of little else.

's naw. 's Hubz v Hertz an' ' 2 - 0.

It's a culture thing, dB. Wigan is a rugby league town. The football,club was non-league until a few years ago. Good place for them in my humble opinion.

The question is, does he have rights to specific designs and get-up, i.e. those existing at the date of the assignation or does he have right to whatever designs are to be the official badges in the future?

I'd give him a shot at old fashioned inside left and if he can't manage that dispense with his services.

He's got talent but he's careless and his fuse is very short.

It's a damn fine piece of writing though, in my opinion, McCulloch's past merits are over-stated and his current standard of play is glossed over, which emphasises what a good job Rousseau has done as Jig's apologist/advocate.

I look forward to the next one.

Amo was a bighead, no doubt, but he was a pretty decent captain of Rangers. Nothing adverse off the park like boozing or fireworks, was there?

Law, Wallace Miller for the opener but it could have been Baxter, Wilson, Brand. The second had a look of Ralphie about it too.

Brown (Dundee/Spurs)

Hamilton (Dundee)

Caldow

McKay (Hearts/Spurs)

Ure (Dundee/Arsenal)

Baxter

Henderson

White (Falkirk/Spurs)

St John (Motherwell/L/pool)

Law (Manchester Utd)

Wilson

When will we see their like again?

Got whacked by the Makems today.

I say, you fellows. Not cricket.

Aberdeen did something similar once with WGS and either Peter Weir or McGhie.

They did indeed but L'pool could have been two up early on. Great stuff to watch.

Arsenal and Rangers used to be great buddies in the old days.

Brand and Millar?

dB - I respect your knowledge, experience and commitment to Rangers but for once you are utterly wrong.

I know a bit about Peterhead, a worthy small town club just like my own first team (a bit better, if I'm honest) but any side purporting to be the Rangers should have slaughtered them yesterday, today or tomorrow.

That first day performance set the standard for the following seasons. The way the Jambolians have been about their business is the way Rangers should have done it. Competence with an occasional bit of style is what I expected. The football management failed completely.

Is that Sammy Baird in the background?

Looks like him.

The tackler is Willie Telfer. Imagine the forward's relief at getting past Willie then his despair at finding Bobby Shearer waiting for him.

On reflection I see Colin Stein as a cutlass or a sabre rather than a knife.

Stein was a better player than Jimmy Millar

I don't think Stein/Millar is a true comparison. They were different types of cf. Either would do fine for me.

On the thread about Vuckic Bearman posted this:

"Mykhaylychenko was a fine addition to the squad at the time but no way can I compare him to Vuckvic?

Comparisons:

McCall - MacDonald. MacDonald.

Stein - Millar. Millar.

Cooper - Wilson. Cooper.

Greig - McCulloch. Greig.

Gascoigne - Baxter. Baxter.

Ritchie - Goram. Goram.

'Bud' Johnston - no comparison

Greig - Gough, Greig.

McCoist, same as Bud.

Albertz - McMillan, Albertz.

Laudrup - Wilson, Laudrup.

Shearer - Johansen, Johansen.

Shaw - no comparison

Anyone else prepared to make comparisons be my guest."

My reply:

"Very interesting comparisons. Shaw/Shearer shurely?

Cooper/McLean maybe.

Bud/Davy and Davy's the man.

McCoist/Forrest?"

Barca 72's comment:

"I agree that Davy was a great wee player, plenty of guts and guile. Wee Bud on the other hand was the best we've ever had at hanging a cross ball, and more foreby."

Any other thoughts?

Very interesting comparisons. Shaw/Shearer shurely?

Cooper/McLean maybe.

Bud/Davy and Davy's the man.

McCoist/Forrest?

This really needs a new thread.
