You can predict whatever you like; it's just that some, like myself, can't bring themselves to predict a Ranges loss.

I flicked over for the last 20 minutes. There's so much animosity in the stands; the least wee decision and there was a chorus of boos; horrible wee club. I thought when Dundee Utd went down to 10-men Hamilton would hammer it home, but then 2 players got injuries with no subs left, so they were in effect down to 9-men! Apparently Hamilton were on top in the first half.

I wanted us to go for Monk, but there's a few PL jobs there for him now, so he's out of our league.

It looks like an entry cut-off time and scrapping double points are the two (serious) suggestions, thus far. I don't think there is any need to change the point-scoring system, as even if we don't get the result we want we can still pick up points.

Penalty points to be used at my discretion...

He failed at one of the Bristol sides too did he not?

It might be over before it's begun too...

That's understandable. I quite like the double points as it adds variety. Maybe all the cup games is a bit much, but perhaps just the Scottish Cup - or Europe? - this coming season?

Some GPL players have intimated that they would like to see some changes for next season. If you have any suggestions, please post them and we can discuss them. For reference, these are the current points and rules: Correct score: 3 points Correct Rangers first goalscorer: 2 points Correct number of Rangers goals: 1 point Correct result: 1 point (These points are doubled for Scottish Cup games only - i.e. not League Cup matches) First goalscorer (FGS) specific rules: - FGS predictions are for first Rangers goal scorer and are valid even if the opposition score first. - In the event of a correct 0-0 prediction, zero points will be awarded for a 'no FGS' prediction. Cup game specific rules: - Match predictions are for the whole match, whether or not that involves Extra Time. - Penalty shoot-outs do not count for predictions in any way - either for FGS or result/score. This includes matches played in the new League Cup Group Stage. Obvious time specific rules: - Your match prediction will not be counted if your prediction is posted after the official kick-off time. - Your whole match prediction (score & FGS) will be classed as completely VOID if you edit your prediction post after kick-off. - If you forget to post a prediction, the prediction you posted for that match in the Full season predictions thread will be used on your behalf. Rules for players on equal points in the standings table: I've implemented a logical priority system for players on equal points which is based on the most difficult things to predict in order as follows: - CS/Correct Score - FGS/First Goal Scorer - RG/Rangers Goals (number of) - CR/Correct Result (W, L or D) At the top and taking priority in the event of players on equal points totals, CS/Correct Score is the most difficult thing to predict, so that's essentially the equivalent of how GD/Goal Difference is used on a real football league table. If players have equal points and have also predicted the same number of Correct Scores, then their tally for FGS/First Goal Scorer predictions comes next and so on as listed above.

Are Liverpool playing in their new kit? Looks like a bit of a throwback; I quite like it.

Rousseau replied to BEARGER's topic in Rangers Chat
There were a few noteworthy performances. PJ_1872, Gribz and StuGers performed very well considering they started later than the rest, with Gribz in particular gaining the most Correct Number of Ranges Goals. The top 5 tended to pick out the most FGS, with myself ahead in that regard. However, Yorkshire Bear was far away the best at predicting the Correct Score with 10; SBS and 26th of Foot were not far behind with 7 a piece. BH and SBS were definitely the luckiest of buggers picking up the most bonus points... -
[FT] St Johnstone 1 - 2 Rangers (Miller 40; Toral 52)
Rousseau replied to BrahimHemdani's topic in Rangers Chat
Our mental fragility is worrying, but aside from that, it was a good performance. The youngsters look very good: I was impressed with Barjonas and Wilson, who never put a foot wrong, and Bates was solid enough again. Beerman got done too often early on but I think he improved as the game went on. St Johnstone are a well-drilled, physical side, but outwith that early spell, I didn't feel like they out-muscled us too much. Alnwick was good; aggressive in the air and not as powderpuff as Fod. I think this is how PC wants us to play: Quick transitions, good link-up play and aggressive. If we can get some quality additions to complement what we have, then I'm optimistic about the future. Easier said than done, though... -

It says it all when I'm disappointed to see Halliday come on for a 18-year-old. First time seeing Barjonas and he looks a real prospect; composed on the ball and has a bit of grit about him. -
