I think it has been pretty much rumoured around the internet that he is regularly in night-clubs and pizza bars. I even read a story that Pedro has made him move in with him so as to keep him on the straight and narrow. These are all rumours and I have no insight as to how true they are.

It was a bit stupid for him not to offer up any contrary evidence. The whole case is built up of presumptions and seems to be guilty until proved innocent. In the event of King losing the CoS and he makes an offer I doubt many will take it up although there may be some who think their shares will be diluted anyway and go for it. There are of course the penny shares holders who may take mach 20 offer.

Pedro has only won 3 games from 11 at Ibrox.

I don't! I think the ball was meant for Windass and it was more in his direction than that of Wallace. It was only when Windass saw Wallace bombing through he decided to leave it. Unfortunate but that is the way I see it as well as the Ref.

Except if we play Ajax that will be. They are his first love.

How long does it take a professional footballer to get up to speed?. Surely not 8-10 weeks unless he is coming from a serious injury.

I get the penalty signs. One hand held up was a Hearts player around the penalty spot and two hands was a Hearts player at the back post.

Kranjcar's legs are gone. He is chasing shadows and has to try and beat a defender multiple times because he is so slow. He does have great vision but does not get the time to execute the passes.

That would be fine if we were pish since last week. We have been pish since Pedro took over. Dalcio Pena Herrera Have hardly kicked a ball and cost millions. Jack was a Warburton wish\signing. Morelos was a JJ scouted player. Ah but Pedr'o has not had his own players. He has them now and we are still playing Windass and Miller. We have gone from Pitch geography bullshit to transitional play bullshit. When are we going to get the aim of the game is scoring goals bullshit.

rangers 2 Sheffield Wednesday 0 Sunderland 0 Celtic 5 Yah Right!

Morelos is the one shining light we have at the moment.

I would prefer Moult to Hardie just for the physical aspect. Why Pedro thought Herrera was the answer to our problems I will never know. His scoring stats were crap and they have not even improved in Little Scotland. Has he scored yet? Pena 8-10 weeks in and nowhere to be seen except in the Pizza Hut.

I am not sure if you are being sarcastic Ian.

Have we beaten a so called top team under Pedro yet?

Just when you think we have seen it all, up stood john Beaton to push the borders of bad refereeing to a new boundary. Many of the older bears will remember Michael Crawford in the series ”Some mothers do have them." Well John Beaton's performance was certainly a “Some mothers do have them,“ special. The show was based on Frank Spencer Who was extremely accident prone due to making extremely bad decisions. Well if Mr Beaton had put on a Michael Crawford mask then 48,000 bears would have been sure they were making a new series of the show. One of Franks best known catchphrases was “Ï got confused, Betty” Well it certainly looked like John Beaton was more than confused. In Saturdays game against Hibs he went from one bad decision to the next ruining what was going to be a good game of football. Well Anthony Stokes helped him on his way and should have seen red for grabbing James Tavernier violently by the neck from behind, before throwing him violently to the ground. As Mr Beaton reached to his pocket to pull a card the whole stadium expected to see the red card being shown to Anthony Stokes. Unbelievably he showed a yellow to both Stokes and also to Tavernier. Tavernier's only fault was jumping straight to his feet and not doing the continental quadruple role-over, and then acting half dead. Just before half-time, after a foul on Dorrans, a melee erupted with players pushing and shoving. Then in full view of Mr Beaton, who was about one yard away, Anthony Stokes grabbed Ryan Jack by the throat and pushed his head into Jacks head. Again Mr Beaton astonishingly got it wrong when he sent Ryan jack off and never even looked at Stokes. This decision has now been been correctly rescinded by the compliance officer but the fact remains Mr Beaton influenced the game in a negative form for Rangers and they never really got to grips with being a man down, losing 3-1. In fact the compliance officer rescinded three red cards on Thursday. That is Three games that could have been influenced by the referee. If there ever was a sign that the video referee should be brought into football as quickly as possible then this was it. The worrying fact in all of this is that it the SFA and their employees seem to find it acceptable that Hibernian thugs can attack rangers players. I will not mince words here, on Saturday Anthony Stokes was no less a thug in a Hibernian shirt attacking Rangers players than the Hibs supporter who attacked Lee Wallace in the 2016 cup final. Mr Beaton, and it now also looks like the SFA compliance officer, have decided to turn the other cheek to Stokes thuggish behavior. Just the same as the SFA decided to turn the other cheek at Hibs supporters attacking Rangers players in the cup final. I suppose stokes behavior will also be put down to exuberance. On Saturday we welcome The Hearts of Midlothian to Ibrox Stadium. Willie Collum has been assigned to refereeing our game. That actually throws up another talking point. As last season Collum had a stinker of a game when Aberdeen lost to Inverness Caladonian Thistle at home and he was relegated to the championship for two games. Football pundit Michael Stewart stated that Collum was not fit for the top divisions. I watched that game and I have to agree he did have a stinker, but the difference is, in my opinion, that Willie Collum is an honest referee trying his best and did have a bad day at the office, where I sincerely have my doubts if John Beaton had a bad day at the office or as it seems to me he has more of a bias against Rangers. His horrific decisions against Rangers over the years seem to be made on a serial scale. As all Managers say, well Pedro may have a Portuguese version. We have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and get on with the next job in hand. At this stage in the season we cannot afford to fall further behind Celtic. I can say the teams at the top of the league but lets face it, Celtic are the only team that won't be dropping many points against other clubs so we have to mirror that. Hearts are currently managerless with ex Ger Jon Daly having the reigns in hand as interim manager. They had a horrendous start to the season losing out on a Betfred cup place to Dunfermline who in turn were blown away by a fantastic Rangers performance with Rangers winning 6-0. Last seasons poor results plus that poor start has cost their manager Ian Cathro to be sacked. There has been another soap series going on in the background between the two clubs in the rumoured transfer of Jamie Walker. Rangers have been rumoured to already have entered a bid of six hundred thousand but Hearts are hoping to net more than a million. Walker was dropped last week because his head was judged to being “ not on the job”. Daly has already leaked that Walker will probably play against Rangers. I would imagine if he does play he will be tuned up to show why Rangers are looking to move him across the M8 to Ibrox, and give a 100% professional performance. I don't expect too many changes from the team that started against Hibs with the exception of lee Wallace returning to take over the left back position with Lee Hodson returning to the bench. After the stress Ryan Jack has been through Pedro may think of giving him a rest and play Jordon Rossitter in that defensive midfield role but I think he will stick with Ryan Jack. In attack Pedro's problem is a luxury one in who does he play up front. He has a pick of combination between Miller Morelos and Herrera. Personally I think he will stick to Miller and Morelos who looked very sharp until Mr Beaton burst the balloon on Saturday. Morelos looks more and more like that 20+ goals a season striker we have been longing for for many seasons now. I think the team will be. Foderingham Tavernier Alves Cardoso Wallace Candeias Dorrans Jack Windass Morelos Miller Another interesting element of the game will be the return to Ibrox of Kyle Lafferty. He will also be out to try and show Rangers that we were wrong not to sign him. Lafferty against Alves should be a hard fought out battle as both are tall bustling players. Hopefully Rangers will be so much in the ascendancy with the early press choking all Hearts forward movement that Kyle goes home as fresh as he started. If Rangers start at the pace we have been doing of late and we can take our chances then hopefully the game will be comfortable before the half-way tea. We have been showing signs that there is a really good team in there somewhere. And of course we need Willie Collum not to be as confused as Frank Spencer or even more to the point John Beaton was and to make it a football match and not a thugs outing.

I can't believe anything about this to be honest.

Absolutely fantastic response bears. CLASS!

The compliance officer could and should have called him up for the Jack incident and awarded him at least a second yellow\red.

Don't hold your breath. Robertson will not want to rock the boat in his new position.

The SPFL have nothing to do with cup games that is the SFA's competitions.

It is good to know an idiot is leading the charge.

I and Association President John Andrews met with Neil Doncaster and Rod McKenzie on Monday night. The reason for the meeting which incidentally was at the request of Mr Doncaster, was for them to explain their position with regards to the Lord Nimmo Smith (LNS) Inquiry. From the outset they both made it clear that they thought that the SPL did everything by the book and that they had no further part to play in accordance with the advice they got from a Senior Counsel. They also stated that they, the SPFL, were happy to have an Independent Review of Scottish Football as stated about three weeks ago after they elected their new Board. The problem with that is, no Independent Review is worth having unless it also agreed by the SFA, and so far Mr Regan and his cronies have not agreed to a Review. Mr Doncaster made it very clear that the decision taken by LNS cannot be revisited, the decision to fine Sevco £250,000 is final. Mr McKenzie stressed that all the information held by the SPL was put before LNS, which included the proof of about 51 side letters. But what they cannot answer is, did the SFA act honestly with regards to LNS. Mr Doncaster also agreed with us that the Five Way Agreement (FWA) was a barrier to Title stripping. That is the FWA that no-one outside if the signatories has actually seen. McKenzie and Doncaster actually admitted that in one of the early drafts of the agreement Title Stripping was one of the avenues that could be used as punishment to Sevco, not surprisingly Green, and apparently more so McCoist strongly opposed that route, so that clause was taken out. That’s akin to a High Court Judge telling a convicted criminal that he could face twenty years in jail and the criminal saying I’m not having that. So the Judge says, well ok what about a fine of £250? That will be fine (excuse the pun) your honour. You have to wonder, if the FWA was good for Scottish Football as a whole, why has it not been made public? According to McKenzie the five signatories would have to agree to that, and he said that wouldn’t happen, but he never told us just exactly who would be opposed to going public, I think they would all oppose it to protect themselves. Interestingly the SPFL Board backed the call for an Independent Review as proposed by Peter Lawwell at Celtic Football Club, but not one club came out publically and supported Peter Lawwell before the Board went public, which was about three weeks after Peter’s statement. McKenzie said that club chairmen were backing Celtic, but not in public. I think that proves the point the Bullying and Intimidation by the Sevco Support is actually working, I also think the comments from Ann Budge and Stewart Milne prove that too. So where do we go from here? Well we’re not beaten yet. We have to force the SFA to back the Independent Review. The only way that can be done is by supporters putting pressure on their own clubs to call for it. Doncaster claims that the SPFL do not have the power within their rules to strip titles, but the SFA do have that power. So honest supporters throughout the whole of Scottish Football must stand up to the Bullies and Intimidators and force action from your own club’s. This is not a Celtic v Rangers issue, this is Honest and Integrity v Bullies and Intimidators issue. Football has to win, but it can only win if the honest decent supporters unite to make it happen.
