  1. The lad Wilson would be an excellent piece of business. A huge advantage wrt reducing risk is the fact that Gerrard will already know him very well and you'd imagine will have the absolute attention and respect from the young player.
  2. For about 99% of us, it doesn't. However, the media are always more interested in what the 1% have to say and this is what makes the headlines.
  3. His agent is aware of how social media works and he knows how the very public double whammy you speak about wrt newspaper headlines and messageboard threads would make a difficult situation, impossible. They might be trying to force the club to pay up a good part of his contract .
  4. Looking down the messageboard it definitely appears as if the phrase 'working his ticket' comes to mind. If the agent accepts tickets in the Celtic end and ok'd a public visit to a Catholic school in the same week as the season ends.....you aren't working for a client you see staying at Rangers. What they'll want though is most of his contract paid up.
  5. Agent now making excuses. He'd be more constructively employed looking for a new club for his client. O'Hallaron has never settled at Ibrox and it's fairly obvious now, he never will. Just Go........
  6. Thistle could continue playing until a week on Tuesday and I' pretty sure they wouldn't score. I watched parts of the Thistle v Ross County game a couple of weeks back and you could see both the sides were Colin Nish and deserved to go down.
  7. That's Livingston promoted and Thistle down ! If you want a lesson on how to defend with dogged determination and absolute commitment, you'd do well to take a look at Livingston this afternoon.
  8. Whats the source ? Is that the only/best pic ? Who decided the pic was definitely him ? Is it definitely yesterday ? .
  9. Given the amount of homotalk between the two, that phrase sounds like it had a lasting effect on you
  10. The initial re-build in the 70's had a capacity of 44,000 which has since become just over 50,000. It's a funny old world. Back in the 70's, when I was able to attend Ibrox regularly we were winning trebles and mostly playing in front of 20 odd thousand people. In recent times, the support regularly fill a 50,000 stadium to watch unsuccessful and inconsistent fare. The difficult question (apart from finance) is regards trends or crystal ball gazing,..........what will be happening 5, 10, 20 years down the line and what would be the best way to go regards stadium plans ?
  11. Try the search facility
  12. I don't think anyone thinks Skrtel is a dud and if SG trusts him, he wants him and we get him, then good.
  13. If he's fit and healthy, a good experienced centre-half with ability is more than welcome. Just don't make all the signings over 30.
  14. Good solid signing. First thing to do Jamie is withdraw from the Scotland squad (same goes for Shagger).
  15. A look at the last 3 seasons recruitment of players on both sides that reached at least their 30th birthday during first season. Dorrans, 30 Candeias, 29 Alves, 35 Martin, 32 Kranjcar, 31 Senderos, 31 Hill, 37 Barton, 33 Gilks, 34 Hayes, 29 Compper, 32 Toure, 35 De Vries, 35 Cole, 35 14 players, of which I'd say only the 2 in bold letters gave value for money.
  16. League Position: Last 7 seasons of Moyes at Everton......6th, 5th, 5th, 8th, 7th, 7th, 6th. Martinez....5th, 11th, 11th. Koeman....7th Allarydce...8th (came in late November when 13th in table) What do Everton fans expect ?
  17. Where ......The Serengeti ? He'd better be careful
  18. We need some 'kick arse' leadership down that spine, a centre-half and central midfielder who set the tone would be good places to allocate resources.
  19. Going for the quick fix would essentially be a high-risk gamble that even if it did work (unlikely), might not have any continuity. I get the Gerrard gamble and can understand it but I don't think compounding the risk would be wise. Give the guy some breathing space (1 season) and look for him to build something that would have a better chance of continued success (football & finance). Throwing money we don't have at too many relatively old men won't end well. Getting 2 or 3 experienced campaigners in along with some players with scope for improvement/resale value is surely the way to go.
  20. Independence is obviously the main reason that the SNP exist and without it they struggle for a sincere identity/ideology. IMO they try to present a facade which isn't really them and is more designed to pick up votes from what was a floundering Scottish Labour party. In the last few years Scotland has appeared as a political wasteland that is on a par with the football, ie. we used to regularly qualify for the Finals but have now went a couple of decades of nae quality and nae results.
  21. Be careful,..........Bluedell is 'establishment'
  22. Graph or no graph, I think it fairly plain that we were over-dependent on Morelos because we didn't have or weren't prepared to use players that could offer a similar type of game at the level the Columbian can. You can argue that we could have changed the way we played to accomodate others #managerial question Herrera was more or less written off and reduced options #poor_recruitment
  23. His laptop may have a left leaning virus.
  24. Of those listed, the players who were brought in for those seasons didn't have much of an impact. At a push you could say El Hadj Diouf did help a little. Healy, Beattie and Rothen contributed zip. The others had been at the club for a while (had been bought when younger) and were established. The exception being Weir, who was a bit of a one-off. ------ A list of players who were 30 years of age or over at the time of signing for Rangers would be a better comparison.
