That was a hard watch indeed. Our final ball and decision making were poor. Nobody getting in behind their defence and there were too many hopeful crosses to no one. Anyhoo...3pts more points. Job done. Onto the next game

Number 1 priority is 3 points. Performance comes 2nd. PS. I f**king hate the Winter Break

Very scientific indeed. For me the only stat that matters is that we just have to keep winning. If we keep winning our games we win the title. That's a fact. Draws are as good as defeats in a tight league race

Too much over analysing this game me thinks. It was the first game after a winter break with a changed line up against a team that had no desire to get over the half way line. SG said it bored him and to be honest I've been bored by domestic cup games for decades. Let's face it the Scottish Cup is a distraction. We need to stay focused on the league (the thing that actually matters) and not get to bothered about secondary baubles

Not sure what Jones has to offer as he looks like just wearing a Rangers jersey is good enough for him. He simply needs to do more or he'll be on his way out

This was the HT possession stats on the BBC page

Porto missed 2 penalties

Hope that's not code for "we don't want him injured as he is lined up for a big money transfer..."

Is Barasic injured?

I also think that the biggest difference from last year is that we are a more coherent and settled team this time around. The league table and points accumulated confirm this. With reference to adding new pkayers, I genuinely hope the mhanks start dropping in their new players. Just adding new players doesn't always mean it's going to be a positive. It takes players time to settle and get used to their new team mates and that's why I'm glad we (hopefully) won't be making too many amendments this winter break

Here here. We really have had some amazing goalies over the years

Up until a few years back I worked as a freelance illustrator/graphic designer and back in the 80's I used to do portrait commissions of football greats as gifts for people. One portrait that always stands out in my memory is one I completed of Bobby Brown. I was converting a black and white image to colour and really loved capturing the iconic yellow goalie jersey. IMO it's something that should be as iconic as our red and black socks and blue jerseys. RIP Mr Brown. Jerry Dawson and Billy Ritchie are waiting with a pint

He loves tiki-taka by all accounts but I don't think Barca have the players to do that anymore

Banning credit cards to fund any online bets from April is a start. Not sure if that also means debit/bank cards. If not, that would be next.

I hear you. It seems like everyday you get a reminder of getting old. Especially with this current trend/obsession with 20/25th Anniversaries of films/albums etc. I actually met an ex-Gers player in a bar at the weekend whilst out with the good lady and he was one of my heroes as a youth. We spent some time with him and his partner/missus but Christ did it make think about how time has flown in. Going back to the family connections...I was listening to the Boro V Spurs game last week and they kept mentioning a Boro player called Tavernier. For an awful moment I thought we'd punted Tav and I missed it as I busy with work over the last few weeks and hadn't been paying attention to the news. Turns out it was his younger brother! Thank feek

Liverpool have a few banana skins on the near horizon. Man Utd (h), Wolves (a) and West ham (a). If they get through those with 6/7 points then I can't see City catching them

I also see that online betting using credit cards will be banned from April.

Didn't realise this lad is ex-Permier League striker Kevin Campbells son

Dear Charmain Bill, Do you have an official manifesto on how to be a decent Rangers fan? Patronised, Glasgow

A gooner? I see. Hopefully Arteta can change their fortunes around?

More than happy to apply the sentiment of the OP to that rag to

Hear hear. How anyone can buy/read this vile pamphlet of pish is beyond me

Not a Liverpool fan then Craig? Do you have a preference for a team down south?

I suppose all signings are risks and don't come with guarantees. I suppose it's all about taking a punt. Look at Robertson for example. He went from playing 30 odd games for Dundee Utd to the Premiership and went on to become a certain starter at Liverpool in 4 years. If we look closer to home, no one would have predicted Glenn Kamara to come in and do this well. Let's not forget he was warming the bench at a poor Dundee team

Granted but are they trying to accommodate 6,000 extra seats?
