Stanley tell Rangers: ‘Duo can’t train until compensation agreed’
buster. replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
Good to hear they can get started right away and stake their claims for first team football, waiting until July would have been a significant blow. -
Robby McCrorie is a goalkeeper Ross McCrorie is a defender (I think he's a right back) edit They appear to be twins according to their DoB on the official site.
-
If not involved in our squad, those who did well will probably be going back out on loan but hopefully at a higher level than before. eg. McCrorie could go back to Ayr as they have moved up a division and you'd hope that Hardie could go to a top tier side (probably in the bottom six) and get gametime.
-
Given how high the stakes are, I think we could start to see more changes to the predictions once team news comes in. ...

Was listening to an interview with Ian McColl (Ayr boss) and he couldn't praise Ross McCrorie enough for his professional attitude to the game whilst on loan at Ayr last season. It sounded as though he really meant it opposed to the usual standard throw-away line.

Club 1872 increase Ibrox stake to become 6th largest shareholder

When do Club 1872 get a seat on the RIFC board ? 6% of shares is a fair whack. -
Moaning Motherwell and Partick Thistle only have THEMSELVES to blame
buster. replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
The shared gate had been around for a longtime prior to the change and generally meant a more competitive league. We were able to remain reasonably competitive in Europe throughout that time. I get the argument against it. More especially because of the general direction football has since taken and specifically, match-day income is now such an important part of our revenue and shared gates would mean we couldn't hope to compete in Europe. Football used to be more sport than business (or at least it came accross as such). Now finance is all important and the powerful clubs control the set-up. -

Better to leave them to it and see how the situation develops. If you really want an executive voted onto the SPFL board, It's probably best not to fire the scattergun of criticism when it's not required. -
Glad to see he has got back in,........... good luck to him.

Euros Stat from twitter 250 corners have produced only 4 goals Ronaldo: Last 36 free-kicks on goal = 0 goals ie. Don't get excited when you get a corner or when Portugal get a free-kick within 40 yards of the goal.
-
Agreed, I've just started to go through them and I'm wishing I was a bookmaker. This set of games will be like the 3rd round of a golf tournament, 'Moving Round' and the KO stages will probably return to be easier to predict.
-
Ronaldo looks a fair bit short of 100% fit and it's hindering Portugal's fluency in the last third.

Adrian Mariappa was at Watford for 7 years and MW has probably already worked with him. edit (detail via wikipedia) MW was appointed manager of academy at Watford in 2006 Mariappa joined Watford in 2005 (via their youth system) at around 18 years old. He captained the club's under-18 side

Dialogue is two-way. If you are to ban teams for crowd trouble, then make it very plain prior to the tournament beginning and give countries an opportunity to take 'extra preventative measures' where possible. Unfortunately, tendencies seem to indicate an increase in crowd trouble / violence. These are at least partly rooted in deeper problems that show no signs of getting better. With that in mind, major events in the future need to be planned with care. edit. Sorry,...and now........to the fitbaw.
-
Generally speaking, the West need to re-establish better relations with Russia, rather than looking to marginalise them and increasing the stakes, ie. political dialogue/action. Banning the Russian football team for their supporters behaviour wouldn't seem to be consistent with what has gone on in the past and would only fuel any negative consequences from further marginalisation. You could ban or limit tickets going to Russia, you could police and steward the games more effectively, you could deport offenders almost immediately, etc. ........ but why now start banning countries from competing for something that has happened many times ?

SPFL 2016/17 fixtures: Hamilton at home on first day of season

Maybe we will be fined for the Hogmaney fixture prior to it taking place this year,....it would be a natural progression. -
SPFL 2016/17 fixtures: Hamilton at home on first day of season

I agree that it's up to every individual whether they want to go or not but I have heard a significant number say that they don't intend to attend away games in the top tier, hence the point. -
SPFL 2016/17 fixtures: Hamilton at home on first day of season
buster. replied to cooponthewing's topic in Rangers Chat
Given that many Bears have said they won't be attending away matches, you wonder what kind of crowds will go to a league match, Motherwell v Rangers. With Motherwell, in May 2015 they provided a couple of added reasons for Bears not to attend. -
"I have seen loads of people in their mid-30s at this tournament who are starring for their nations. And that’s what I’ll be looking for from our experienced guys in our next campaign because, as Slovakia showed the other day, it’s going to be a tough one." Strachan Those words don't inspire.

Having never seen the guy play or even heard of him prior to this week, I still have a feeling in my water that he can do a good job in the starting XI. When I heard Kenny Miller had been given another year, my immediate thought was a negative, why ?..... but KM has shown us that his level of professionalism is first class, his performance was excellent and his age, only a number. I'm now glad KM signed up for another year. As long as he can stay fit, I think Clint Hill sounds as if he can be effective as a player and an example. Signed Body Language Expert

The SPFL are the member clubs so if they don't like a league set-up that is prone to anomalies, change it. -
Rousseau As per rule, just letting you know I've changed a prediction for tomorrow (Belguim game).
