How many times has McKay given the ball away with loose passes?

I just hope he keeps a level head... Call me an eternal optimist but I have a good feeling about this game. A 3-1/4-1 kind of feeling. I just think with Waggy and Holt back, our play has more purpose. We are going to click sooner than later and IMO it will come against a team that comes at us. I just hope our defence is up to it on sunday...

Sounds about right Ian.

Honestly...what are the professional requirements to be a sports journalist in Scotland?

I am big fan of Forrester but this is the kind of game he could see a red card IMO. I'd swap him for O'Halloran

Sutton is an arrogant blowhard who is crudely trying to fashion a career as a "controversial" pundit. Even his recent MOTD appearances were cringeworthy and awkward. The guy is a weirdo. Always has been tbh

My team would be: Foderingham Tavernier Hill Wilson Hodson Halliday Holt Windass O'Halloran Waghorn Garner

So this week we've had The Herald/Evening Times apologise, now the DR. What about the BBC for the utterly misleading headline from earlier in the week?

Not a chance in hell of that happening mate

How was that not a red card? On so many levels

Am I missing something? His wife is attacked and abused and his reaction becomes the story? No word of the attackers? Or was that not part of the hitlist when studying the CCTV?

At what stage can you start converting this catalogue lies into a legal case? Apologies are pointless as the stories are already out and have caused the damage they set out to create. Oh and who were the 6% that would still buy the Record?

Agree 100%. Rodgers is flavour of the month with the Scottish mhedia. He got a free ride from mostly everyone after the 7-0 drubbing from Barca because "they do that to everyone"... em, no they don't. Even the points dropped at ICT were glossed over because the "performance" was good. I didn't see much mention of Celtic leaky defence having just shipped 7 goals in 5 games. The general consensus was Celtic played well in a game they dominated whereas Rangers on the other hand toiled and dropped vital points in a game they dominated.

Let's hope they use the same language (yob, caged, thug) when condemning the Hibs yobs (when sentenced) that attacked our players and hurled sectarian abuse. I won't hold my breath...I can see words like overexuberant, high spirits. etc.

The way things are going, we will need a whole new PR/press/legal office to deal with this sh*t. As I said before on the other thread, the haters are not even being subtle anymore.

Said it on here before but papers like this and certain other media outlets are providing enough evidence of bias to pull together a valid and substantial case but as long as we have "fans" that continue sing certain songs and vandalise bogs etc. we don't have a leg to stand on. We need to keep our noses as clean as a whistle and box clever on these issues because our haters are not even being subtle anymore

I love the way they immediately use such certain language as "will enrage" and "powderkeg" in reference to Rangers fans and the fixture in general. My god, these "newspapers" truly are living up to their name "gutter press".

Why would they? They obviously ok'd the article and thought it was fair game so hell mend them. Their circulation is at an all time low and no wonder if this is the garbage they print.

This with bells on. The best way to shut them up and win this phoney war is too beat them on the pitch. They can applaud on the 1st, 2nd, 44th minute, the whole game for all I care. Just go out and beat their crappy wee team on the pitch. That will soon shut them up. Aberdeen are nothing but an irrelevance. Don't know they understand a "rivalry" is only a rivalry if it's a two way street?

That's what makes it worse IMO. To think that an editorial team has actually sat down and crafted this headline with a get out clause is very disturbing

That is an utterly misleading and scandalous headline. Saying that, I wouldn't expect any less from this vile organisation

I wonder if this effigy was hanging in stand filled with Rangers fans at Ibrox , would they use such generic language?

Good comments about Waghorn. Three great goals and three very different finishes. Really chuffed for the guy after the injuries. I really hope he can keep it going

I like the notion of Halliday becoming captain. Wallace has been a great servant and ambassador for the club during a very trying time but for me he lacks the vocal stature that gets behind/on top of the players

I also enjoy the role of the Video referee in those sports but the major difference between other sports who use video refs (including cricket and NFL) is that these sports are stop-start by nature. Rugby (League and Union), Tennis and Cricket all have periods of "inactivity" that suits the use of the video. Football on the other hand is a very fluid game with very little room to breath.
