  1. The game meant nothing and we played well enough to have won. We suffered no injuries to affect the cup final. Job done as far as I'm concerned.
  2. The BBC were in a studio watching at Pacific Quay commentating over Sky tv pictures.

    Neil McCann

    Rangers have always been my team since my dad first took me to matches when I was around 4 years old. While working around the world, sometimes for 4 years at a time it didn't stop me forming a bond to a football team in the country I was living in at the time. In saying that though, It didn't prevent me from tuning into the radio every Saturday to find what the Rangers result was. I've always enjoyed McCann as a pundit. Unlike most he is able to articulate as if he knows what he is talking about. Given their recent performances as "pundits with working knowledge" any broadcaster should be embarrassed to produce Hartson and Sutton on coverage of any football match ever again. Those two have lost all position of impartiality and respectibility long ago [sutton for his Kilmarnock/Dunfermline rant many seasons past] and should never appear on our tv screens again.
  5. " The “Glasgow Herald” obituary stated William Craig had been “engaged as a Clan Line stevedore”. " Clan Line had their head office in Hope Street, Glasgow. I visited a couple of their ships who did the same runs as ours, UK to India. A stevedore was a person who loaded/unloaded ships. Keep up the good work guys.
  6. I haven't seen even the highlights of the match yet. We lost, but all I can say is, so what ? After the effort expended last Sunday I'd think our relatively small squad can be excused not being on top form. The league is won and we have a final to look forward to. Naturally I want Rangers to win every single match we are involved in but to be honest I couldn't care less if we lose all our remaining game as long as we beat Hivs in the cup final. We will improve close season and be better prepared for next season. That is far more important to me and I'm looking forward already. I'm sorry if that maybe upsets some but that's my honest thought.
  7. Stats for 1st half. Possession - 34% v 66% Shots - 3 v 2 Shots on target - 3 v 1 Corners - 1 v 5 Fouls - 7 v 7.
  8. According to BBC text we've had 66% possession.
  9. They want Moyes. Moyes wants a clearout. How they know that isn't explained. Now it begins - " We could get £10m for Bitton and Johansen and probably another £5-6m for Griffiths if he wanted extra money. Letting folk go for free would free up massive amounts of wages. We could get close to £5m for Efe, Izzy, Boyata, Forrest, Scepovic, Ciftci and McGregor. Theres £20m. How much does he want? "
  10. We'll leave it at that mate. There's nothing to be gained now.
  11. If you give mank chatter any credence Rab, it is quite likely that Delilah had no say in the deal. It's reckoned that several players arrived in the east end without the managers approval.
  12. " But a sizeable proportion of Rangers fans still hold Murray at least partly responsible for the club’s demise, arguing he should not have sold to Whyte, whose reputation had already been questioned. " Yes. I remember it well. I was permitted two posts raising the alarm and refusing to join in on the party welcoming him before getting a perma-ban from a Rangers forum. The information was already out there but nobody wanted to listen.
  13. I'd guess that was maybe why we didn't create more mate. We played our normal game, something I'd been hoping for, and kept the ball away from them. It's an, if you auntie had baws point, but I would have thought more chances would have arrived if our strongest team was on the park. Let's just be content and rub it into every one of the bassas we come across.
  14. It's not as exciting to the viewer as 4 or 5 off the posts / bar, but I certainly enjoyed the sight of our players stroking the ball around the park while the guys in hoops ran around chasing shadows and clueless about how to get the ball back Pete. Yes the stats prove a different game took place but I for one couldn't give a monkeys. We won and most certainly deserved to do so.
  15. If you can find the footage of that goal you'll see a bear hanging over the wall, arms outstretched, roaring at the top of his voice in celebration. It makes me smile every time I see it.
  16. The linesman flagged a throw in to the scum bear.
  17. " But something has to change for the sake of Scott Allan’s career. He’s too good to be sitting watching football with the rest of us. " Why's that ? He made his choice and will be on a handsome wage. Hell mend him.
  18. I remember him going at full speed unable to stop and hurdling the boundary wall before ending up in amongst the crowd at Tynecastle. I got his autograph on a match programme post match when he was standing having a smoke outside the front doors at Ibrox. It really caught me by surprise when I heard him speak with a Fife accent - I thought all players spoke the same as me.
  19. I don't remember the Johnston one although I should really as I didn't miss many games back then. One from the past I do recall was a sheepie player called Ernie Winchester missing an absolute sitter, maybe hitting the post ? in a final, the sixties ? the other side of the goal from the Roberts one.
  20. While agreeing with most of that OV, unless it was a one on one then Klos had only one position - firmly rooted to his goal line. He never came out for a cross and the less said about his kicking ability the better. Put it this way, with Klos in goal our team could not have played the way we did this season. That is not to take a swipe at Klos btw.
  21. As usual, it will be all about the Rangers. Despite their threats of protests they'll sell more than they have for the past 4 years.
  22. It's quite reassuring reading Kerryfail St earlier. The scum have now re-jigged the whole match in their heads overnight and the majority are firmly of the opinion that they were simply "unlucky" not to win. A decent manager would have seen them wipe the floor with us. One line pushed is that they had an off day while we were playing far above our normal performance. They have absolutely no worries for next season. What I suspect is really going on over there is, a load of guys who didn't actually attend the game and only saw the highlights are blowing out their erses. Given their previous history I think the whole of yesterdays result will be hinged on a throw in by this time tomorrow. Declan - you really have to pity him.
  23. You should have advised McCoist of that when he was in charge mate. A copy and paste to Boyd wouldn't go amiss too.
  24. My "offended" should perhaps have been contained in quotation marks. I agree, nobody is going to die because of it. However, I've seen the hurdles some guys have to go through to get banners into matches. I've seen the fallout from the scabby mobs poppy protests. Under the mock PC regulations applying nowadays that banner on Sunday was undoubtably "offensive" and there should be repercussions from it from the footabll authorities at the least.
  25. The police have already said that there is no list of offensive words or songs. As far as I know "causing offence" is very much down to what the judge at court decides that day. What is offensive to one judge might not be seen that way by the judge in the court next door. I find their banner offensive and would certainly be looking at punishment from the SFA.
