Super Cooper

Yes, our ticket allocation is tiny for a game like this, but still considerably higher than the number who went to the Bristol game.

I just feel we could have sold so many more and brought so much more money into the local economy and Sheff Wed itself.

Police have sadly limited the crowd for Sheff Wed match. Pity they didn't limit the amount of animals at Brentford today. One rule for us and another for them.

Moshni seems to have done well in all of the games. Hope his wage demands are not unrealistic.

They shouldn't be considering where he came from.

Clear sectarian motives swept under by the Scottish media.

Singing about Drummer Rigby too.

Essentially, all saying that they believe that Easdale owns 6%. So while certain people, who like to give Green and Co. a broadside if they can, throw the lies-accusations at Easdale, they base that accusation on people like Scrote (who is said to be Easdale's earpiece, of course), and throw that accusation at the director/club, rather than the "accurate" media?

 

Obviously, the truth lies somewhere in the middle, but the tendency to accuse our folk of telling lies and being inept is a worrying development.

0.55% though is not in the middle of 6% dB.

Yeah, it's effectively irrelevant to us unless the SPL/SFA decide to use a changed verdict to try again to remove titles etc.

In what way was there any lie involved?

All of them say 6%, they must have got the same figure from somewhere mate.

I guess the two who voted in our favour have now been inTIMidated enough to change their verdicts?

One pay off after another. Just another day in the life of Rangers Football Club.

Templeton, McKay and Aird can play either side

Mitchell is a midfielder who has been asked to fill in at RB.

 

Funny how you suggest that Little is a right winger whilst the others arent - because Little is no more a right winger than McKay is.

Well said Craig. You are spot on.

Aird, McKay, Templeton ... are left wingers.

Mitchell is like Foster and Cole and Argyirou a right back

Shiels is an attacking (Central) midfielder, as is Crawford

Clark is a striker

 

Little is the only chap who, while loving to play as striker, as the quality to be and has long-played as a right winger / inside right.

 

As I said before, we have quite a few "utility" players for nigh any position, but bar Little, we have no real right winger. And as far as I am concerned, I had enough of utility people for the forseeable future ...

They are not left wingers, one is a winger and the other two are strikers come wingers. They are all right footed and can just as easily play on the right as the left.

Mitchell has been played several times at right midfield for us and is an out and out midfielder.

Shiels has also been played out wide for us and at times for Kilmarnock and is more than capable of playing on either flank for us.

Clark, again, is an attacking midfielder come striker. A right sided player who like Little could and will be played right midfield at times no problem.

Little, is a striker. His best position, his strongest position and the position where he brings most to the team. The lad himself will also tell you he is a striker.

Little is anything but a right midfielder or winger.

We have plenty options for right wing, plenty. 4 or 5 better options than Little in fact.

You better get used to utitlity players because Ally has filled our squad with them and that is the type of player he loves.

Still waiting for hertz & dunfermline to get the £160k fine and a years registration embargo...................

Was that not exclusively our punishment for not having disclosed Craig Whytes banned directorship a few years previous?

I don't think it is unreasonable to expect us to have sold tens of thousands of strips by now, at on average £40 a pop. And that is just for one strip and one top. We have hundreds of different items with the most sought after being the last available(the kits). It simply isn't good enough.

What wages does SPL/SFL1-interchangers Dundee FC pay on average? 500 to 1.000 pounds a week? Just asking.

I doubt it is even that much tbh mate. Maybe 6/700 max in the SPL?

We were pretty poor last night, only really Moshni catching the eye (again!!).

What was the script with blooming Smith and Crawford wide? That is the sort of thing that annoys me about the gaffer.

We are leaving ourselves open for egg on our faces here. The big man better sign! Too much desperate talk about him possibly signing.

That's what I mean. Plenty of lads to fill in if necessary.

Absolutely though i would *bin one of them and **never play three of them on the right. Even taking those 4 away, that leaves 4 options. Still enough.

* and ** Can you guess who?

Looks like Ally has learned nothing from last year. Crawford starts wide right and Stevie Smith wide left. Deflating to say the least after all the excitement!

I see Mather is saying our Wage bill is lower than last year.

That is excellent news.

Aird, McKay, Templeton, Little, Mitchell, Shiels and Clark can all play right wing. Even Crawford has been played there. Plenty options.

Celtic ? you've obviously not read PZ & J's financial analysis of Celtic in Bill McMurdo's blog. A very interesting read. Looks like they called us financial cheats to divert the spotlight away from themselves.

I meant more about their huge financial muscle over us. No one can deny there is a gulf there. May i ask why are the media not all over these revelations from PZ&J like they were with us? Is it all really a conspiracy or is it just wishful thinking on our part? Where are the facts to back their claims up? Why are the media not being bombarded with the facts?

Btw, i do not want to get away from my opinion that we do not need to move from Scotland, that was my original point and i stand by that, staunchly. We do our job right and we can be very successful, on and off the park.

Hardie and Walsh are going to be superstars. I hope both are tied down long term.

As WS said there's no money in Scottish football. It's commercial madness for Rangers to be there where we're subsidising teams many of whom should be in semi-professional or amateur leagues. The OP highlights the issues we'll continue to come up against. An escape route to a stronger, better financed league would solve a lot of those issues.

Celtic have proved there is plenty money if you do your job right. That is what we have not done. We went on a run to the Uefa Cup final and posted our highest ever turnover yet the debt we were carrying increased at the same time. Our business model has been pathetic for so many years our fans have been brainwashed into thinking the only way to fix it is to leave the country. Scotland is not our problem, we are our problem. We have to show that we can look after ourselves before we should even think about moving elsewhere and right now we are miles off that. The best way to solve the obvious issues of being located in the Scottish game is to box clever, do better and work harder. We have had it far too easy for far too long.
