Tavernier is just the latest in a long line of players to be retained a bit too long. You can say the same about Morelos, Kent and Kamara. If he is going nowhere then the manager always has the option to replace him in the first team while keeping him as an expensive club captain.

Panic signings are great for podcasters.

Why are people still waffling on about xG ratios? Watch Dessers stumble over the ball in a great position 2 or 3 times and you know enough. He's terrible. No further 'analysis' required.

Great point. No idea why Tavernier does not just stick to his assigned role. Maintaining the formation is key.

Like Saša Papac?

This is the essence of the old firm. You just wait for the other team to go away so that you can be better than Aberdeen.

until we drop Tav we will play with three at the back

Three at the back solves nothing. I want ten at the back. (5-4-1) Park the bus in every single game. It has to be so awful that every Scottish football fan has a breakdown when he checks the scores and sees Rangers 0 Jobbers 0.

If true then this is a flex to demonstrate the gap between the two clubs. A little bit like buying a player that cost the same amount as all of our signings combined.

Thanks. I remember trying to download one in the past but the file was too large and it failed. If practical then it might be a good idea to share the data in csv format. In my experience that leads to a smaller file size. Also, for my own use, I would convert it to csv before doing anything with it anyway.

I think you are right but there is no good in telling us about it. You could go to the stadium after our next dispiriting defeat and help to de-escalate. Having read the overwhelming majority of your posts I think you have the right combination of intellect and tact required for these difficult situations.

Absolutely made up for him. He's living the dream.

Are they still posted on the forum somewhere?

The big man loves it here. You can tell when you see him smiling, and chatting, with opponents and officials.

Where on earth are the thread police? Get them in here to sort it out before things boil over.

How many points would one get in a loyalty bonus?

Celtic 4 Rangers 0 First goal scorer: Tavernier

It really is too early to judge the new players but I'm not deterred in any way. I think, apart from maybe Barron and Kelly, they are all mercenaries that will give up after only the slightest pressure. As such you can ignore any talent that they have and accept that they are rubbish. We should look on the bright side though. It was really good to part company with many of the last batch of rubbish players.

I think so. If he ever plays for us again I plan to make several posts about how he is like a new signing.

Wooo Wooo Wooo! It's the transfer thread police! Everybody split up!

Nope. Never said anything about justification. Who is doing that?

Best of luck Todd. Hopefully the club can arrange a glamour friendly, with Blackburn, at Ibrox next season so that you can get the sendoff you deserve. Once a Ranger always a Ranger. Legend. WATP. RITD.

How many units do we need to win the league?

Given the inevitability of it all it would surely be best for you to minimise the panicking and moaning. I think it was wise rather than naive.
