Then recruit some that will generally be fit and able. Or start using the likes of McCann and McKinnon. If Jack were to prove fitness between now and I springtime, then maybe. The summer rebuild that never ever was #groundhog

Ryan Jack talks on new deal. Is that a wind up? If he were to stay fit and play well for the rest of the season, then there may be a conversation to be had, but now, just NO.

Unfortunately, not the way some of today's footballers think.

GPL Predictions Bluebear54's GPL 2022/23: Rangers vs Dundee

Rangers 3 Dundee 0 Morelos -
Not when you already have an injury prone central defender. Had this conversation with you after he signed. I'm not the type to say I told you so, let's leave it there.

Only stat that matters is first or second place.

Aye, not really difficult to see a big part of the problem is in the squad. As well as inconsistent mentality, there is now naturally more wear and tear. A different manager may well get better out of this squad but the fault line would show sooner or later. Gio has already shown this. Best league form since he arrived was his first seven games.

We had our awful games under SG as well, but we did tend to learn and take on board lessons. Also fair to say that SG never had to play against elite clubs in the CL like Liverpool and this Napoli team. However, what is damming is the failure to take on board lessons from the Parkhead debacle of a first half in Feburary and apply them in September. Not only not take on board, but actually get worse. Then Gio says he told them prior to the game. The players not applying thse instructions says a lot. Next reference for taking on board lessons will be Napoli (away).

No need to pour over them, you supply numerous opportunities that I only occasionally point out. If I did them all, I'd have to give up my 'day job'. Maybe I'm Oh CD ! Oh there is another Contradiction and if I mention it, the Deflection follows (last couple have included GIF) That process is on repeat. If you didn't give a damn, you would ignore, instead of deflect.

I know, I spent 12 months over there on two tours (West Belfast and the Easterly Border). Like any such conflict, it is mostly about perception, loyalty/patriotism and the ability to block out the uncomfortable detail. The article posted earlier today brings into sharp focus the horrors and attrocities of what the IRA actually did, just as any such list that comes from conflicts. It reminded me of the Iraq cables published by wikileaks.

Got that one right 👍

Match Thread [FT] Rangers 1 (Davis 9) - 0 Dundee

If he is the real deal, he won't be with us for long enough to do much with us. Barring injury, I'm fairly sure he'll have a stellar career in the game. -

We have previous for it. Morelos eventually broke and was out for months. -

Injured or loss of form, he shouldn't play tomorrow. -
I'd say it is perfectly normal to want back what somebody else took from you. The next part (IRA) is really a point of view (terrorist or freedom fighter) and partly to do with where you come from (or don't). The positive is that these days it tends to be things like singing songs that causes a stooshie opposed to actual carnage,withthe odd exception. The other thing that has changed of late is the need to video everything and share it on the web, often without the engagement of a brain. An ex Rangers employee did the same last week, when he was employed by the club.

Club Statement | RIFC raise injunction proceedings in the US
buster. replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
I agree, but what I referred to wasn't a legacy contract. It was a new agreement that was signed up to by the then board, with King at the head. -

I'd disagree but that said, he has also made his mistakes. The first statement (league getting called early) that came out on a Saturday made claims that were difficult to fully justify (perception) and hence easier for SPFL executive to bat away. Too much too soon. -
Club Statement | RIFC raise injunction proceedings in the US

Yes, the US angle is simply a known unknown for us punters. Any agreement(s) will probably have an NDA attached, so the mystery may stay that way. Regards Dave King, there was a couple of false dawn's regards the attempted uncoupling of the SD legacy issue. It looks to me as if he relished the challenge of taking on Ashely / SD and got his (our) fingers burnt. The new contract we signed with Ashley didn't do what we announced it would do. Ultimately, taking on the expensive Ashely legal juggernaut wasn't wise. Even when we had a good morning in court (Justice Smith/London), King bigged it up with journalists at the lunchtime and the first thing Justice Smith said in the afternoon session was that King had been too hasty. -
Not many of our Academy players are bald.

We have to increase revenue medium to long term. That requires investment. Not allocating more money to the Playing budget has consequences but the board need to look further ahead, as well as the present. -

Generally, we have been prolific with bullish statements but it hasn't often finished well. The Ashely episode being a long term example that loosely mirrored the 90 minutes last week against Liverpool. -
Aye, but "perfect opportunity", only if you can adequately replace him.

It is all about timing. Regardless of the past, when the red flags wave, you shouldn't ignore them. ie. look very carefully at situation, projections of where this is going and consider options. Accross the City when they imploded from the inside, Lawwell said that they kept Lennon because of loyalty and past success. It was a mistake that played into our hands. Regardless of the past, he was taking them no-where. Five years ago in October 2017, Pedro left the building and we were left in semi limbo until the following summer. Graeme Murty came in as caretaker and was replaced before the end of the season. Going back further to the end of 2005, Eck was struggling badly and at the sametime qualified us for the KO stage of the CL !! Sir Duped announced his support for him in December, Boyd was signed and Lovenkrands started a goalscoring run that improved things until the faultlines were exposed in a 0-3 tanking from Hibs in the Scottish Cup. The support were unhappy and Sir Duped told them Eck would be gone at the end of the season. Two very different replacements Steven Gerrard and Paul Le Guen. One with multiple League winning experience and the other a rookie manager.
