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.

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.

Whats the source ? Is that the only/best pic ? Who decided the pic was definitely him ? Is it definitely yesterday ? . -
Given the amount of homotalk between the two, that phrase sounds like it had a lasting effect on you

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 ?

The Summer 2018 Transfer Window Rumours and Deals

I don't think anyone thinks Skrtel is a dud and if SG trusts him, he wants him and we get him, then good. -

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. -
Jamie Murphy joins permanently on three year deal

Good solid signing. First thing to do Jamie is withdraw from the Scotland squad (same goes for Shagger). -

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. -

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. -

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. -
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.

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 -

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. -
I'd agree with that and point to it being the reason why the most recent Gersnet podcast was a good listen, when an hour or so went by without it becoming tedious. It was the main reason why I thought DF stood out slightly because he was simply stating how he objectively saw things without any filters applied or pressure felt, eg. refereeing of game.

Wrt what you refer to as "hounded", it rather depends on what was said in the first place, constructive criticism or something else. I'm coming from the POV that your general point of criticism was incorrect, the guests, whether it be a little or a lot, obviously do contribute. I'd simply suggest that you don't bother listening to it if you feel so strongly about it.
-
Your criticism is open to counter......That's the way it works ! I'm not slow to make critical observations when I think they are merited but I just find that your blanket point about his guests not contributing anything, is so obviously wrong that it deserves to be questioned.

Pod Demigod in 'follow follow without question' controversy --------------------- Seriously, to say his guests contribute nothing either shows you haven't listened to many H&H podcasts or your hearing is very selective.

I think that is a very relevant point. I'd hope that SG and his stafff would be looking to build something but at the sametime he'll want to make an immediate impact. The main thing for me is that we know only too well that bringing in 'veterens' whose best days are in the past doesn't tend to work out the way we'd hope for (onfield), in the majority of cases........ Not to mention the business side. It's not worth going into this too deeply until we start seeing who actually arrives, rather than who is in the headlines. -

IMO David Frazer is the best pundit/podder in the Rangers Podcast community. There are many who talk sense but DF has more objectivity which IMO makes the conversation more worthwhile.
