  1. It was pretty well documentated that Pena had had his issues prior to his signing and I heard a Mexican pundit say going to Scotland was a chance to get his career back on track. Alocoholism wasn't specified but 'issues' over a relatively long period usually involve one of the 'constant negatives'.
  2. Liam in goals Declan at Left Back Paddy in central defence Sean in the midfield Murphy on the wing Equal Opportunities Employer on steriods
  3. Looks like it's going to be blue then !
  4. What size chest is that ? 34 Double D Cup ?
  5. A handful would be too many IMO, a couple would do. I'd simply not even consider signing 38 year olds. For every Davie Weir you'll get 3 Philip Senderos.
  6. The profile and ensuing attention is good but some of the lines coming out are now baseless / premature. Gerrard has yet to take charge of his first game as a manager.
  7. Whlist on the Kit thread, can I ask you why you have a cockroach as your profile pic,...it bugs me !
  8. Guardiola puts together sides that function well on a consistent basis and therefore they tend to win leagues. With Barcelona he also won CL's because he conincided with some fantastic players in their pomp. Zidane largely inherited a group of excellent players that as a side have been fairly inconsistent (not great for winning leagues) but on their day can beat anyone (good for CL's). Zidane reminds me a little of Del Bosque in that he tended to let the players get on with it. for the latter, Hierro and Raul dominated the dressing room politics and had seen off various managers but Vicente knew how to play the clubs politics and basically didn't get in the way too often.
  9. Sounds like bitterness from a particularly egotistical player.
  10. Come on Mr Jackson, get this question asked...................... Did he (Shifty) take a libel action against Private Eye and if not, why not ?
  11. Have I posted a Gersnet WAG pic by mistake ?
  12. RC school with blue tops and TimonTim altercations,....not so bad
  13. You could go on a European scouting trip to see which venues would be best for a trip and then get back and supervise a fan prayer group. eg. Latvia
  14. The draw isn't for another two weeks or so. Sevilla have won this competition five times in the last 12 years and are going to have to play in the second qualifying round
  15. Expectation management is important and really needs to come from Gerrard himself. He started well saying that it's about Rangers and looking to improve things, forget Celtic for the time being (apart from when we play them). I think we need to see a better quality of player/an improvement in the squad both on paper and on the field. Therefore an improvement in our consistency of result. No embarrasment in Europe. If we go out in the qualifiers to a better team (and there are many, eg. Sevilla, Zenit, etc.) so be it. We need to get a result against Celtic. First OF match is away and a doing has to be avoided. After all the shit we have been through, aslong as there is a visible improvement, we'll stick with SG, looking for him to build further. Looking at SG and the length of his contract, the main hope/expectation as far as I see it.....is to win a League title or in other words, stop 10IAR. If we keep chopping and changing every season, we have no chance.
  16. So if you want an Orange Away top for our first competitive game on the 12th of July in Londonderry, you'll have to go visit Memit's Bazaar in downtown Istanbul to get one. --------------------- Hummel at work.......
  17. Steve Gerrard, the man who brought the 2-7-1 system to Scottish fitbaw
  18. Not great for revenue cashflow but in the longer term we very much need to see the next generations of supporter coming to Ibrox. A disproportionate increase in sparking the younger fans interest would be a huge positve of the Steven Gerrard appointment.
  19. The SPFL have backed themselves into a place where I doubt Shifty McGifty will be going that easily, unless 'the case' builds more momentum.
  20. Apparently the evening of June 6th will see a Scotland v England semi-final.
  21. To go 2 up on South Korea inside 8 minutes was a great start but it often means an intial partial relax, followed by hanging-on for a result, so I wouldn't bother too much about the performance today. We'll see how they do in the semi-finals......
  22. France 2up at HT and Togo down to 10 men. Translates as Scotland have got into the last four with Mexico, England and one other.
