Aye, I expect Spew Keevins to have seizures tonight if / when he sees the display - oh, and hopefully it'll be the 'spark' that finally stops Gerry McNees pacemaker Cammy F

Hope Traynor will also compare and contrast the displays at both games. Craptic - an assortment of green, white and yellow bin-liners that weren't displayed properly. Rangers - 25,000 Slatires and 25,000 Union Flags (plus an assortment of RSC banners, Rangers Supporters group banners + our 'legends banners'). Cammy F - THE BLUE ORDER LOYAL RSC

Stick by the team I posted yesterday If Svensson doesn't make it, Hendami to drop back, Thompson to partner Fergie in the middle and Adam to play left midfield. Cammy F

Eh, don't we have a free weekend this weekend - Scottish Cup or something - I feckin hope so as we've booked into the Argyle Resteraunt for Sunday lunch!! Cammy F

I believe that Wenger will stick to his guns and continue to play is '2nd team' in the Carling Cup Final. I also believe that Chelsea will rest some of their 'big players'. Given that, I'd expect a very open game and would think that Arsenal will win 2-0. However, if Chelsea play their top-strength 11, I would expect them to win 2-1. Either way, I think we'll get a decent game of football. Cammy F

He may have quoted Gribz, but he wrote, and I quote As a Bear, I thought I was entitled to respond Cammy F

I batter Scotland as it is currently a shity place to live. It is grinding to its knees due to drink and drug abuse, poverty, homelessness, racism, gang-culture, knife culture and gun culture. And it is run by a morally corupt Labour Party As for encoutering racism 'everywhere', I really don't care, I don't live in England, or Wales, or America, or Canada, or Australia - I live in Scotland. Maybe if we sort out or own problems, we can then turn to other coutries. Cammy F

When and where have I 'backed' Sebo? Cammy F

At a time where our club is at its lowest 'eb' and facing its biggest crisis, on and off the field in over 2 decades, is it a sign of the times that a debate about Kris Boyd can generate more responses, energy, debate, than any we have had on the future of our club? IMO, this is where the problem lies, the sheer apathy towards our DIRE situation amongst the majority of our fans. And the blind refusal to identify where the problem lies. Cammy F

Then you are lucky, every shop in my area has racist comments sprayed on them - as have most in towns around me. So that makes anti-English racism, including the death of two teenagers, betean to death in Scotland, due to their nationality alright then Cammy F

The reason I put Burke instead of Sionko is the fact that Burkes pace, something that Sionka lacks really troubled them in the first leg, and they will be wary of that. This *could* lead to early bookings for them and set-pieces in dangerous areas that could help us build some decent pressure early on. Cammy F

:admin: Barry, reread what I said above. Until I went back alst night and watched that video, I would have agreed with you. What I saw last night on that video of that wonderful season was 2 players, BF and RDB inspiring a Rangers team to come back from the dead and win the title. They did this by playing some of the best football I have witnessed. Gazza and Laudrup were amazing players, BUT they had the benefit of playing in an 'established' successful team at a time when Motherwell, Hearts and Aberdeen were our closest challangers. Oh, to clarify what I meant about the input into this particular thread, I was talking about the fantstic movement, options, runs, angels, one-twos the strikers like Mols, RDB, Lovenkrands, CC etc OFFERED to the midfield players, something only Prso offers at present.

This is happening far to often in European games for this Bears liking. I knowe it gas happened to us, it was especially bad in Stutgart and Villarreal. UEFA really must sort this out before another disaster strikes the game. Cammy F

Last night I decided to watch the 'first to 50 video' just to cheer myself up a bit, in fact watching actually depressed me even further. That video is stone-cold sobering evidence of how far we have fallen in a short space of time. I watched, and it is often easier to admit this is 'retrospect' a Rangers team playing some of the best football I can remember. I watched as players like Mols, Cannagia (sp), De Boer ripped defences apart and most importantly, for this debate, offer an outstanding Barry Ferguson MOVEMENT for him to either set them up, or use them as dummy runners or to play wall passes with them to score himself. In all honesty, no current player (Prso apart) would have gotten into that first to 50 team driven by Barry Ferguson. A final mention of RDB - I always thought that Gazza / Laudrup and Cooper were the best / most skillful palyers I have ever seen. I recant that, after watching that video, RDB IS the best player I have seen in a Rangers jersey - he was simply, and I don't say this lightly, WORLD CLASS. Cammy F

Unfortunately Brother, racism is RIFE in Scotland at the moment. We are a very racist country, we see racism spray-painted on all most every Chinese carry out shop, Pakistani shop, Jewish graves and lest not forget the anti-English racism that gets laughed off as being a 'true scot'. Cammy F

Here is the team I would play and the explanations behind it... McGregor, Hutton, Weir, Svensson, Murray, Burke, Fergie, Hendami, Thompson, Novo and Prso. I considered playing Charlie Adam as although his all round displays have been poor recently, we really troubled them in the first leg from corners and Adam is the best deliverer of set-pieces that we have. If Thompson isn't fit, then Adam would play in my side. Burke is included as he caused them huge problems in the first leg and hence his presence will put them on the defensive. I have gone for Novo and Prso upfront as IMO they both offer more on the European stage than Boyd and both offer move mobility in the final third (and both can score goals in this type of game). Subs would be (if fit) : Boyd, Sebo, Adam, UE, Lennon - I've gone for attack minded players as we need to win the game. However, with WS and Europe, you can never tell Cammy F

Also, lets not forget that earlier this season, larry allowed the Aberdeen (Always) Ultras to have a flag display at Ibrox and REFUSED TBO's request for a display at the same game. Cammy F

Its not a false dilema - it is reality, it is what we face year in, year out until we realise that players like Boyd, Adam, Hutton, Burke et al just won't win us the league - not matter how many goals Boyd scores. Cammy F

But in this petty, shity and controlled country that we live in, football doesn't do the talking. There are people in the media and in politics that won't rest until Rangers are no more. These are the reptiles that will ignore all of Timmys bads points but will happliy tell the nation that Rangers cut their grass in the design of a sash. Until we wake up to this, they are going to continue to get worse and soon it'll be a crime in McConnells 'One Scotland' to be a Rangers supporter. Cammy F

OK, I'll ask you this question.... Would you rather have Rangers 19 points clear in the SPL (only 3 victories from scuring the title) and be playing in the last 16 of the CL against AC Milan without a 30-40 goalscorer on you books, or be in the position we are in? I know what I'd take. Also, please try and take on board what I am saying - IMO (and its only an opinion) he hasn't demonstrated enough to me to suggest that he is a player who will score regularly enough in the 'big games'. If you are content with us being 19 points adrift in the SPL thats fine, it just doesn't sit well with me. We need 10 new players IMO and one of them is to replace Boyd Cammy F

Exactly, but Boyd shouldn't be absolved for any of this blame. Also, doesn't take away from the fact that we need this type of player, who will usually also be your top goalscorer. All I am saying is that IMO, Boyd at this moment in time, and considering he has been here for over a year (and played under 3 manangers) doesn't look like he has this in his locker. He hasn't improved one iota under the previous manager. PLG even dropped him..... Cammy F

Ah, now were are getting somewhere. That'll be the victims that have been called liars by Craptic employess (even although Torbett was convicted), who are still awaiting an apology from Craptic. Surely the fairminded press in this country would be pushing for this? Not a chance, they prefer to peddle the Craptic party line given by one Tommy Burns who stated that Torbett never done this and actually lied about a fictional game Torbett used to get access to his victims. Whilst Torbett was serving his sentance (3 years he served) his business was given huge contracts by, yip you've guessed it, Craptic Football Club. After his release from jail, his fellow ex-con Mosson got him a job as tourist board for Scotland - yip, thats right, a convicted peadophile is the man in charge of getting tourists to this country. If it weren't true, you couldn't make it up. BTW, you'll have not read any of that in the press, maybe its petty bringing it up tho. If this unfortunate and horrific crime had happened at the other end of Glasgow, do you think it would have been 'forgotten about' and lets drop it for the sake of the victims? We still hear lies every day that we didn't sign Catholics until Wee MoJo, that we are Nazis, that we are ORANGE SCUM, but don't mention the child abuse.... We are expected to take moral lessons for that mhob and their lap-dos in the meeja, not for this Bear. Glasgow Craptic - a family club? Aye Right Cammy F

ARRRGGGHHHHHH - using your own arguement, no they aren't - if they were, we wouldn't be 19 points adrift. What I am saying is that for all his goals, Boyd isn't the player required to score the winning goal that will turn a draw into a victory. Something that Rod Wallace (and Ally McCoist) were famed for. Prso is that type of player, he'll score the winning goal, the goal that is the difference between 1 or 3 points. Look at Craptic - how many games have they scored a winning goal from 80 minutes onwards? That is where we have fallen short this season - we DO NOT HAVE A PLAYER WHO CAN WIN US THESE TYPE OF GAMES... Cammy F

IMO, this is the result of our club allowing so much lies, half-truths and negativity to be written about us, whilst our enemies in the press largely ignore any bad press about the yahoos. Petty, childish yip, but where else are you likely to hear, read, find out about Timmys indescretions? Certainly not in the press. It wasn't that long ago that 2 of their players and 2 of their directors were filmed / photographed singing IRA songs in a hotel owned by an ex-IRA member at an OFFICIAL club function and it got 3 lines in most papers. Sign of the times really. Cammy F
