buster.

I thought the parent club paid loan players and then had a seperate agreement/contract with the club taking the player on loan. ??

What she called a disease was a cult around British Nationalism that can be found at Ibrox on matchdays. I'd call it dehumanising and very offensive language aimed at a section of the Rangers support. She and the BBC would call it a strong opinion (amongst others) and get away with it. This type of language is often employed in the second half of gradual campaigns (drip, drip....) that seeks to marginalise an individual, group or people and basically prepare the ground for actions, legislation or other that would previously not have been seen as reasonable or allowed to happen. It seemed a manufactured account from the moment she said that she had to get away from Ibrox whenever there is a game on. Does she live close to Ibrox, does she habitually walk her dug down Edmiston Drive at 3pm, was she talking contrived Colin Nish ?

By far, the player I most looked forward to seeing play when attending games in the 70's #Class

Would be throwing money away and giving the usual suspects another platform to spout off about a Willie Waddell interview from the early 1970's. More something to put on the long list wrt PQ and it's editorially fair policy (building a body of evidence).

Blackmail ? IIRC the programme (broad conversation) included Unionist Rangers supporters who put forward a different point of view. ie. PQ can say that there was a balance of opinions sought. However, what was without doubt, is that as with the great majority of these types of programmes, it was carefully arranged wrt running order and the presenter (Nicky Campbell and earpiece) who had a dog in the race, was central to this.

Well done to the lad. He's young enough to have a chance of making it with us but he's still got the difficult part to come.

Given previous with Ryan Jack, did anyone ask Steve Clarke if he instructs or approves of Broadfoot doing this at Ibrox ? Try and get the biggest danger to Kilmarnock sent off the pitch (Morelos 9 goals v Killie this season). Had it been the other way around,... what do we think the reaction would have been ?

Five Bob would win you a tenner !

No, this is simply low quality and dubious clickbait coming from a low quality brand and a presenter on the way down after a relatively decent career. To consume and take it at all seriously is feeding the beast and encouraging them to come back with more of the same. Meanwhile, what is happening at BBC Scotland is worthy of our attention, in part for the reasons you mention.

Those who consume it should turn it off or it's more them who should be thinking of who is tying their boot-laces.

The coach is definitely part of the current issue. The issues you raise are part of it as well but haven't stopped us doing a lot better in the past. What was very apparent on Thursday was how we were unable to change things at HT, more especially the simple thing of at least coming out with a vastly improved attitude and desire to get back in the game. A lack of ability is one thing but a passive attitude showed something in the coaching/communications dynamic is way wrong. Eck is in the wrong movie.........He should be sat down in his slippers watching it, not a part of it. To put it bluntly, he's past it and the worst thing is that is probably how some of the players see it.

Talksport = The Sunday Sport of Radio

#DueDiligence #Gumption It won't work 100% of the time but it'll help with prevention. Not exactly the same thing but a reasonable parallel,......... some used their napper and could see though Craig Whyte and Charles Green, too many couldn't and probably wouldn't get what I mean.

Colombia beat Japan 0-1 with a second half Falcao penalty (64 mins) and win the Kirin Cup. Alfredo got his 2nd cap as an 87th minute sub (didn't see it so can't say how he got on). Hopefully get a little longer against Korea.

Morelos is on the bench for this mornings game. Was always more likely to get minutes in the second game against Korea (N o S ?)

Compo Send your CV and ideas in to the SFA this morning and don't arrange anything this weekend.

That might be mitigation but he has to take responsibility for his decision. If he knew there was a risk then he didn't go in blind.

Guy who can't pin down a place at Ibrox plays and scores for World Cup Finalists !!! The unusual thing about it is that the playing and scoring for WCFs came when contracted to Rangers. It's usually before, we sign them in a blaze of publicity and it fades to grey.

If he allowed himself to get drawn into such a situation, it doesn't suggest he has what is needed to make it as a manager.

That was the worst I've ever seen from a Scotland team. It was a relatively poor looking line-up with many potential issues that you thought might manage a result due to the opposition. However, the team looked devoid of fight or leadership, never mind not knowing what to do. McGregor is never a Captain and you can see why Burke won't ever reach any significant heights in the game (attitude stinks). Eck is lost and looks like someone picked off the street and put in the dug-out. He's lost any managerial talents he once had #slippers

Bottomline If we want to see a significant and immediate improvement to a level that can see us win the title next season, we'll need to find a large pot of gold that as it stands, doesn't appear to be there. Take this immediate need (re.9/10IAR) out of the conversation for a moment and things aren't so bad. We are moving forward as a club, recovering the financials and developing the youth set-up. IMO the latter is the key to the club's chances of moving forward in a significant and financially secure way.

If he gets a reasonable opportunity to stake a claim for an ongoing spot in the Colombian squad and takes it,...I think his potential value in terms of a transfer fee goes up in a way that goals against Kilmarnock can't push. ie. this week in Japan could be a very big week for Alfredo and Rangers.

Our immediate expectation levels for the type of player we have been able to sign is unreasonably high IMO. What it ends up doing is draining confidence from players. In the past we were able to recruit a level of player who had a chance of dealing with the immediate expectation, now we can't and have to hope we get lucky. We need to give players a chance to develop and grow into the jersey. It's all very well saying we haven't time but when you don't have the level of finance you don't really have a choice, unless you take the high stakes 'all-in' bet with associated risks.

Zak Rudden scored for Scotland under 19s yesterday in a 1-3 win against Turkey (in Portugal). Eck as Scotland manager in his first spell won 7 of his 10 games and lost 3. His current spell is 4 wins and 6 defeats. 20 games and NO draws. The team tonight will have very little International experience. Possibly the least amount of caps & goals between them in a competitive Scotland fixture in recent decades. It looks like it might be a mainly SPFL provincial club defensive back four. Given transfer speculation, it will be interesting to see how Shinnie performs.
