buster.

We are a club that is wired to only function when running at a consistently significant loss and have been for decades. Post 2015, there was an understandable strategy of structured and funded losses but for various reasons (and there seems to bes always something that comes up) we still can't quite get to the place we need to be. We approach another significant squad overhaul with relatively little in the way of money to spend and few players that can realise significant incoming fees. More loans/losses ? The silver bullet of the player trading model giving constant returns is still a way off, despite a healthy return during 2022. You contrast this with the other side of the city (night and day difference) and that is why any new manager coming in with all the hope and anticipation around it will be getting a knife to take to a gun fight. Short to medium term, there is little porospect of significant change IMO.

A comedy that doesn't even get a laugh. It is sad and pathetic but still a large shareholder in the club. They have a nerve to complain of the board on behalf of their members when DK has been pulling their strings.

Rangers 2 Celtic 2 Tav

That is pretty much it,....the bumping of gums ain't changing it now.

Ten (a decade) was the number that I first thought of but I think one every season to be too much and would dilute the quality.

I don't know if they still hold to it but Blackpool have/had a limit of 5 players per decade. I know because my uncle managed to get in as one of the five beside Mathews and Mortensen in the 50's. Pardon the excuse to shout about my uncle. Five a decade gives it real value. All it is now is an excuse for more events, ker-ching.

Basic mistake. Should have ignored him.

From the little I have seen, there seems to be no middle ground with Dave King. Brilliant or Naive He has of occasion surrounded himself with questionable advisors in PR and by the looks of some results, the legal although this was sometimes on behalf of Rangers, eg. Merch contract with MrMash

Is there another club as divided and useless as Rangers when it comes to supporter (political) organisation ? Some good intentions, some excellent ideas but we almost never seem to be collectively competent and united enough to bring any big ideas to fruition. The atmosphere, at least for the time I have observed from afar, often has a toxcity that will almost certainly discourage many of the well qualified to get involved.

Effective pass through to the semi finals will do nicely whilst to win trophy, we'll only need to beat one of Celtic or Hearts. Couldn't have gone better. Beale could yet do a McLeish.

No vote Didn't manage to see the game

How difficult is this to understand!! Their forwards would have allowed our defenders to gain possession before the competitive resumption.

You are losing it BD. It is the unwritten convention of what goes on in today's professional game. A defender will never throw it directly to opposition if close to their own goal.

It doesn't really work like that though, does it. Might if it were deep inside our half but not where it happened.

How long has he watched Scottish fitbaw !? Expecting a lower league player to control and position the ball with one touch is extreme optimism. Having watched it back, you can see he was getting ready to hoof it up the park and that other players were effectively still waiting on the real resumption of the game.

That is a bit extreme for you BD. Tillman, understandably misjudged a particular situation within the game and scored a (well taken) goal that really shouldn't have been scored. Beale takes the responsibility and takes a decision that I think, especially given context, is very much the right thing to do. Disagree, fine...but disgraceful, give me peace. Had it been in the League Cup Final, I would agree with you. Unless 9 goals to the good, in which case, it would actually add to the fun. Ps. Was at a game at Tynecastle (80's IIRC) when we as a support actually collectively applauded a Hearts goal (I think we had already reached 5).

Rangers 4 Thistle 0 Colak

Thanks Gaspard ! Hud me back 🙄😁

I apoligize but that has flown right over my head. I am either thick or haven't been paying attention.

The 1981 Final went from a boring disappointment of a goalless draw that included a last minute penalty miss by the late Ian Redford to an exciting and brilliant 4-1 replay win a few days later. Was at both games and the thoughts on that penalty miss were very different after each.

Seasonal cashflow plug ? First time we haven't had Post Xmas European football since 2019 (IIRC).

Scottish football is generally a low quality environment with very occasional glimpses of quality. From the general levels of professionalism of players, to the punditry and journalism, to the food kiosks, to the game itself. We put up with shite We watch shite We read shite We eat shite #Shite 😁
