What did you think of the quality of the chances? How many were really threatening apart from the goals?

I never knew that so what's this story got to do with Glasgow rangers?

Yes, it is a funny thing to say.

If the league really must be restructured for some reason then it is only fair that people know what they are playing for before the start of each season. No change to the structure is so urgent that this can't be upheld.

Sound like another silly idea. The increasingly complicated proposals are becoming unbearably stupid. I just want them to keep the game simple.

A rather large inferential step. It doesn't really follow at all that it must have some benefit. This is the kind of stuff that haunts every discussion about any kind of restructuring.

No doubt. Not sure what the big deal with a winter break is though. I'd prefer it if we didn't have one and the season continued to run, more or less, the way it already does.

It wouldn't be unfair at all. You might ask if it would be more likely to discourage players from working up here though.

We don't need to change to summer football at all.

This all sounds silly to me. Who exactly is asking for all this crap?

How important is this? Does this mean that the club needs to give a return in cash? If so then why are we discussing perceived bias. Seems quite important to me.

How much compensation would we get for him?

Do whatever you like. If an article/quote is posted it's definitely good to have a link to go and check what has actually been published. I would personally prefer not to see Haggerty's work posted, or linked to, here. What difference does it make though. Go somewhere like twitter and you will find plenty of people circulating links to it. Whilst on the topic, I recently overheard a conversation between two Scottish journalists. They definitely depend on people circulating links to work. As such, Haggerty's rise to the staggering heights of the Herald should make sense. She will generate lots of traffic from gleeful celtic fans and angry Rangers fans.

It would be great if this happened. I think we'd need to do something unexpected, like win the Scottish cup, to get people out and buying tickets in the numbers required.

Take what up?

Has this always been said? I seem to recall that previously the line was about signing a player in January if he would help to challenge for the top league when we get back.

Giving up on winning this league?

Unlikely. Eager Rangers supporters will be circulating links to the herald at every opportunity.

What did he actually say?

Do we really want to forget him? We seem awful keen to read about him and discuss him. Your reply, for example, bumped a dying thread.

I'm not sure Law is the answer. I'd expect him to play in rotation. Has he been injured lately or just out of favour? I think part of our problem is that we can be quite predictable. If opponents can predict what we are doing then they will stand a much better chance of defending against us. One of the really frustrating things about our recent decline in form is the predictability. Another is that when the team does do something unexpected of creative it often ends in a miscue. We also often ignore chances to break quickly in favour of keeping possession. As others have pointed out this just lets the opposition get back and get organised. So I'm not really looking for a steady tempo. Finally, wading into the real controversy, watching it from the stands is different. You do see different things. It's not all one way though. I don't always bother watching the highlights so sometimes remain ignorant of details that are repeated on television.

Airdrie was his first match. Looked like he was making a big difference that night. Perhaps it was just because we were playing opposition from the lower league. I was wondering about how many goal scoring moves Zelalem and Oduwa had been involved in. In the case of Zelalem one assist is not a lot.

I hope Warburton can identify an alternative to Eustace in January. As for Zelalem I hope that he starts to be more effective. We can keep possession better when he plays but that is not what we lack.

Why not in January?

No, what I really meant was that you should ask yourself that before rambling on about magic hats and faith.
