Another example of lazy journalism - making a story out of nothing. I expect no less.

http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,5~934681,00.html Nine nil at any level of football is an impressive result!

The question is, why didn't he go down holding his face as if a sniper had shot him to try and win a penalty as well?

Glad you spotted the deliberate mistake! You weren't joking about laying off the booze this weekend, eh!

apologies - having a blonde moment there...

Missed this article on Monday but someone sent me the link. Hard to argue against some of the points made. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,27-2461627,00.html

excellent - sad state of affairs when i'm relieved about that rather than not caring as we'll stuff them anyway

------------------Al McG-------------------------- Hutton--- New CB---Papac/J-Rod/K Svenson---Smith Burke---------Clement-----Ferguson-------Adam/Prso --------Boyd/Novo/Sebo---New CF------------------ So, all I want for my preferred team (if all fit) is a new Goughie type centre half and a Hateley type striker. Not much to ask really is it Santa?

Indeed. Le Guen as quoted as saying that he'll look at the situation nearer the time. Sounds to me like he wants to see how next weeks games go to see what kind of result we need to get 1st spot in the group.

I'm a Boyd fan too and believe he'll score plenty of goals this season. Was just really pointing out how important it is for the team that he holds the ball better when it's played to him. If he controlled the ball more often he can bring other players into the game or draw fouls allowing the whole team to move up the pitch and thus take the pressure off and or create set piece and attacking opportunities.

Boyd's hold up play last night was awful. A number of times the ball was played to him and he was either beaten to the ball or his first touch was a 60 yard pass.

Agreed, but do we have a young player who can do the job? Not sure that we do.

I might be wrong here, and I'll bow to superior financial knowledge if proved correct, but the JJB deal is worth an initial downpayment of £18m. This is spread over 10 years, the duration of the deal, meaning we get a £1.8m franchise type payment for every year of the deal. That being the case, how can Murray skim off the top? If he was paying himself a salary, taking dividends or any other means of direct payment then this would show on the books, right? Whatever his tactics with the financial situation of the club, be it with a view to selling or not, all the rest is speculation and with no hard evidence. Yes we're not 'net spenders' and the gap between us and Celtic is growing and Calscot's point about us being a couple of late goals away from being on the end of 7 in a row is pretty scary. I'd never thought of things in that way and ponders the question - where do we go from here? PLG is the first step but Rome wasn't built in a day. We can build a young team and look to the future but if we want to compete and be consistent then we need to buy some experienced players and look to build the squad around them. My opinion is that we need 2 experienced players. One centre half who is a natural leader and organises the defence, and also an experienced goalscoring striker who can take over from Prso who clearly isn't the player he was in his first two seasons. If we can stretch to getting those I believe the rest of the squad we have could easily develop into a team who can compete with Celtic who, after all, are doing the exact same things as we're doing, except doing this a season later and have had more success which is mostly due to our downsizing - not because they are vastly superior.

The defence definately looked very shaky once Smith went off last night - hope he's back sooner rather than later...

For the 3rd post in a row I'm saying the same thing - it's lazy journalism. It's easier to knock a team than give it credit where it's due. Yes we made mistakes but conditions were difficult, we played a centre half at left back and we were away from home. Despite all that we got the result we needed. What more can we really ask?

It's just lazy journalism - nothing unusual for the Record.

Lazy journalism - taking the words and making a story out of them. All Le Guen appears to be saying is that it's unlikely we'll go out and bring in lots of players - not exactly a newsflash and exactly what he's said any time this has been brought up.

Great result for Celtic. As much as my earlier post doubted Strachan's line-up - they played to their strengths, defended well and Nakamura scored an excellent free kick. Saha wants shot for his penalty miss and the chance he had prior to that.

Was in the Sun today saying that the only reason Rangers fans reported him to the police was because Rangers fans because our team was crap... So, nothing to do with the inflamatory gestures, goading of the fans etc. Also, the article was quoted as saying Nil By Mouth would not comment as Boruc had not been charged with a sectarian offence. We've come to expect no less from that shower.

Celtic have set their team up to frustrate Manure. Early on it looks like their best hope will be long balls and counter attacks. So, why has Chesney started without Miller, Maloney or Mcgeady? Arguably they are their best players for hitting teams on the break.

Haven't got a clue. Google was no help. It must be really old and obscure - bit like you Cammy!

Jeezo, and we think the gulf between the Old Firm and the rest of Scotland is big.

Oops. The missus was logged in and I didn't realise. Mcnee will have a field day with this on Scotsport tonight.
