Completely biased, but No1 for me Still buy the occaisonal issue of FF and The Historian - never buy a programme these days Cammy F

Yip, if are serious regarding moving Ferguson on, the summer would be the best time to do this as hopefully, Thomson would be ready to take his place. As for a suitable fee, I believe that we'd be lucky to receive �£2.5M for Ferguson unless he improves dramatically in the remainder of the season. Cammy F

He didn't play well in the cup-tie against Hibs (which interestingly, I watched in the company of Hibees!!!) but has always struck me as a decent player. Was informed that we are still keeping tabs on Stephenson from Hibs as WS is a huge fan of his. Cammy F

AS far as I know, someone will still leave - it will probably be late next week. Given all the transfer activity down south surrounding keepers, wouldn't surprise me if Shagger leaves for Newcastle for �£5M. Also heard that PL is back training at Murray Park and is still considering a contract with NUFC - but is preferred option is still us. If we move players on, don't be surprised if PL is used as an appeasement...... Cammy F

Read the thread on FF and its astonishing and frightening to think that something like this could happen in Scotland. Hope everything works out for the Corky family. Cammy F

Wonder how much �£�£�£�£�£ SDM paid the retard to print that Cammy F

Casino Redeveloment of Ibrox Huge financial investment that will rock Scottish Football to it's foundations Moonbeams of success Take your pick from the above.... Cammy F

Sorry, whilst SDM is in control, I wouldnt invest 1p in Rangers, never mind �£3M Cammy F

Only post on Gersnet but read Follow Follow and TBO site (however, I appear to have been ‘culled’ from TBO site for not posting!). I have been known to go mischief making on certain Tim sites when bored (not for a while if I’m honest!)…… PS - Welcome to all our new and newish members. Cammy F

Bluebell, I was part of the protest that day and everything you say above is TRUE. However, the most shocking part of the day was that the protesters were subject to chants that they were 'f****** Barstads' and the anti-protesters sang the banned song, The Billy Boys and were then PRAISED by the official website and Murray.

Tony Mowbry hasn't a dime to spend at West Brom - they have NO sponser after T-Mobile decided to withdraw from their deal. The West Brom Chairman has gone public with the news that the club are struggling financially and has appealled to local businesses to invest in the club. Any future transfers are going to be loan deals. WBA's future in the EPL is far from certain (I hope it is secured, being a 'fan' of WBA). As said by others, Moyes will eventually look to have a crack at the CL. It was muted last night that his Everton squad that faced Liverpool was assembled for �£25M - I don't know how true this is, but if true, it's less that WS has spent here. The Laudrups would be looking to manage a club that would enhance their CV's. Currently we are a club who could enhance a CV. Imagine if they took over, won the SPL 3 years on the trot and qualified from the CL group stages. This achievement hasn't done GS's image any harm - he is constantly linked the EPL jobs now...... Whilst its important to remember what a state we are currently in, it is also important to remember that we are Rangers - we play in a two horse league, and as WS showed last season (And AM before him), we can make it to the later stages of Europe Cammy F

Certainly did enough on Saturday to retain his place at The Pitts this Saturday. However, I fully expect him to be 'benched' and replaced by McCulloch or Adam Cammy F

Pity we couldn't play Killie every week - outstanding record against his former club. Also interesting to see how many Boyd has scored at Tannidice, always thought of as a hard place to get a result, but his record there is very decent. Again, not wanting to get into the whole Boyd debate, but as well as seeing games played, I would like to see how many of those goals were 'headed'. IMO Boyd doesn't get enough headed goals for a 'centre'. Cammy F

Huge test for the management team and the players - these three games will determine if thay are the correct people for the job of taking Rangers forward. Team selection will be crucial for all three games, and IMO an easy choice. All three teams we are playing have a defined style of play and all three can be gotten at by playing wide men and / or pace thro the middle. If we resort to aimless high balls against any of these three we WILL drop points. Cammy F

Gough was a failure at Livingston, but I wouldn't mind him being brought in as part of the set-up. Leven is the outstanding SPL manager at the moment, so if we were to go down that route, he is the obvious candidate. Others worth mentioning? Tony Mowbry, Ray Wilkins, Andy Gray (although he turned down Everton as he makes more money with SKY with none of the stress involved), The Laudrups, David Moyes.... Given our current and ongoing financial problems, we aren't likely to attract a 'top name'. We will only attract an 'up and coming promising' manager, an ex-player who knows what Rangers mean or a manager who has been out of the game for a while who would see the challange of managing Rangers and succeeding as a stepping stone to a job in the EPL. Cammy F

Yip, I think everyone in the stadium thought that once Falkirk went down to 10 men that we'd take off a defender and bring on Aaron. Another thing I noticed on Saturday, it took 9 mins (I counted them) for us to bring Nacho Novo on - god knows what the hold up was It took the dissmisal of Papac for us to improve...,. Cammy F

Another Game, Same Old Deficiencies …. After another below par performance against the Falkirk Bairns on Saturday, surely we can’t be the only ones who are witness to our glaring deficiencies? Our manager and chairmen have branded us faceless and clueless, but even someone as faceless and clueless as myself can determine that we could get more out of our players, especially if they were played in their correct positions and if they were ‘coached’ properly. Once again on Saturday we were served up an unacceptable performance and we were lucky to run out narrow winners. Even after going 2-1 up, we almost allowed Falkirk back into the game but thankfully held out to record a victory and secure a crucial three points. Understanding that I will probably receive the wrath of our custodian by daring to question the managers tactics, I will endeavour to give my opinions of what is going wrong on the pitch. As a paying customer, I surly have the right to that! Continuing with 4 centre-halves in the back line is restricting our attacking options. Both Broadfoot and Papac have been decent at fullback, but both are centre-halves and play like centre-halves. They play very narrow which allows the opposition to exploit the space down our flanks. Why Walter Smith spent circa Ã?£6.5M on forwards in the close season and ignored the glaring deficiencies in the fullback areas is a mystery. We actually have three very decent centre midfield players who all have experience of playing on the English Premiership. All three have shown that they have the ability to play in what is arguably the best league in the world. However, to accommodate all three of these midfield players, we are forced to play one of them as a right winger. We have another brilliant midfield player out for the season. We have two options for the left wing position, but the manager insists on playing anyone other than our natural left wingers at left wing. Again, with no natural width in the midfield, the game is narrowed and we are forced to play through the congested middle of the pitch. Up front, we are well covered at the moment. Off course, this may change during the transfer window, who knows. As for Saturday, the back four looked shaky, and Boogie was caught sleeping for the Falkirk goal (Lovell scores against us with frightening regularity). The midfield didn’t click (again) with only Mendes getting pass marks. Ferguson and Davis (last 10 minutes apart) were awful. The front two tried, but were uninspiring. The only positive was John Fleck – although played out of position (surprise, surprise) he did well. He had two brilliant runs, one where he beat two Falkirk defenders only to be scythed down. The second he supplied a wonderful cross only for Boyd to somehow header the ball directly into the ground for 6 yards out with the goal gaping and at his mercy. Now, Boynd’s goalscoring record is there for all to see, but I can’t remember a centre who is as bad at heading as Boyd is. Steve Davis cuts a lonely figure wide right and we must move him into has favoured position if we are to get the best out of him or we’ll ruin the lad. In the last 10 minutes of Saturdays game Davis demonstrated just how good he could be if played properly. His slide-rule pass to Novo for the 2nd goal was EPL class, as was his clinching goal. However, 10 minutes a game isn’t good enough. Barry Ferguson hasn’t reclaimed any sort of form since returning from injury. This is worrying as he is the only driving force we have in our squad. So, we go to Aberdeen on Saturday only 2 points behind in the league and I for one can see Walter making changes. However, I’d bet that the changes will involve the likes of Adam, McCulloch et al rather than Fleck, Aaron et al. We’ll approach the game as a ‘must not lose’, rather than a ‘must win’. The days of letting the opposition worry about our formation, flare etc are long gone and we have a worrying tendency to alter our team selection to ‘suit’ the opposition (see the changes for the Tannidice game as an example). Somehow we have been given a glimmer of hope in this title race, and we must take full advantage and capitalise on this. Do we have the players capable of doing this? Does our manger have the tactics and coaching capable of this? The next three league games will supply us with the answers. Hopefully, the faceless and clueless legions will be proven wrong and we’ll use this as a springboard to catapult us towards the league title. Only time and the closing of the transfer window will tell. So Do We Deserve Better? There has been much written and spoken about the ‘we deserve better’ campaign and the subsequent response for our custodian and manager. Now, I believe that we all knew how SDM and WS would response, so whilst their responses were disappointing, they were unsurprising. They have basically told us that we are ‘faceless’ and ‘clueless’ when it comes to the running and future of Rangers Football Club. This is the usual SDM mantra – pay up and shut up. So the question remains, do we deserve better? Two last day SPL titles in 8 years, a decade of financial mismanagement, a youth academy that is failing even after numerous changes and a youth development that nobody knows who actually owns it and the players registered to it. A decade of asset stripping that has seen the catering, ticketing, merchandise sold off with little or no money coming directly to Rangers from these ‘outlets’ (apart for the initial fees – short termism at its best). And that is just ‘scratching the surface’. SMD claims that we aren’t entitled to discuss this as we aren’t captains of industry and that we don’t offer alternatives and / or solutions (surely a contradiction in terms there). Anyway, the RST have given SDM pages and pages of solutions, ideas and alternatives, all which SDM dismissed out of hand. Can’t have it both ways SDM. I sincerely hope that this seasons doesn’t fall into the ‘papering over the cracks’ category just like the previous title winning season have. Don’t get me wrong, I am willing Rangers to win this title as much as anyone but fear us winning the title will see the pressure being exerted on SDM diminishing and allowing him to continue with his downsizing of the club and out ambitions. In conclusion, to answer the set questsion - YES, we do deserve better, a hell of a lot better........ Whispers From Murray Park The captain of the ship (i.e the guy who runs our RSC) was through at Murray Park on Friday to get a couple of tops signed for charity. Every player except 4 signed the tops (4 players, McGregor, Mendes, Weir & Naismith had arrived prior to The Captain and were already in for training) but one of the management team refused point blank to stop and sign the tops. Yip, Ally McCoist, hang you’re head in shame, you more than anyone else should know better. Anyway, the general consensus was that ALL the players were happy to stop and not only sign the tops, but to stop and talk for a couple of minutes and were also happy to have photos taken etc. Kris Boyd reinforced his desire to stay at Rangers (as did Boogie and Ferguson) and an unnamed player stated that every player was determined to stay and regain OUR title from Celtc. Most players also confirmed that Boyd was determined to stay and ALL wanted him to stay. Kevin Thomson stated that his operation went well and he can’t wait to get back training and playing. Nacho Novo recognised the guys from the RSC as he was a guest at our POTY Dance 2 season back. NN reinforced his desire and passion to continue to play for Rangers and again stated that he would do all in his power to help our RST (he has in the past – he is a credit to himself and to Rangers Football Club). The two tops are being raffled at a Race Night at the start of February to help raise funds for The Sick Kids Hospital. Cammy F -

Wasn't SDM that first discovered that the earth was round rather than flat? Cammy F

No, no, that can't be true, SDM built Ibrox, signed Souness, delivered 9-in-a-row, won us the Cup Winners Cup, invented Rangers, saved us over a dozen times. Didn't he? Cammy F

Sorry folks, as per todays counter-claims by SDM, we aren't allowed opinions - its the same old SDM mantra - give me your money and shut the fuck up...... Cammy F

This was Martin bain's doing - he told Willie McLies that there was a list of Rangers players available and Mendes name was on the list. McLies saw this is a go-ahead from Rangers to tout these players to other clubs. It wasn't, and as you say, Pedro Mendes is raging at the fact that an agent, other than his own has touted him to Newcastle and others. Our club is a fookin shambles from top to bottom - however, we aren'y allowed to say that, that is being disloyal to SDMFC, sorry, RFC..... Cammy F

cantebury are trying to break into the football market and are the current suppliers of Portsmouth FC kit. I have bought many cantebury rugby tops and have to say that they are of better quality than ANY football top I have. However, they are also more expensive. Cammy F
