I don't have that information but if Pedro's was the best I would be shocked

There is a case to get the world war 1 title announced nul and void.

Can you put up some Miss-read photo's.

Why was Pedro so important a candidate has to be asked. Judging by his CV it should have been binned at the first stage. Now we have thrown millions at him. Why were the Parks so much an influence in that decision. I wish I could be more positive but I still don't think he has a scooby what he is doing. Tuesday's set-up just cements my thoughts. Goalkeepers rarely make good coaches as their football brain is not developed the same as outfield players. That is my opinion and not an investigated fact.

Limeburner I am trying to give you a chance but it is getting difficult, Will you stop insulting people. Your next ban is permanent.Why can't you just enjoy the forum and use discussion for your point.

Surely the guy is entitled to a holiday? He would not have been able to get away when we were buying all the players. He would not want to go during the season. This looked the best time for me. We were suppose to win that game easily as well.

Don't insult muppets please.

If you don't complain you know for sure they will do nothing. If the Hillsbourgh disaster people had not kept complaining they would have got nothing.

I wrote " IF he did"which means I am not sure":thup:

I won't be adding him to my Hero list. If he did it was totally unintended as he wanted to suck us dry.

In my view what we had on Tuesday was a 4-2-3-1 and PN a 4-5-5-1 which meant Morelos was up against 3 defenders constantly. The wingers had Tav and Wallace in their back-pocket which virtually left the wings a no go area as we were set up for them bombing forward. That meant we had a very narrow 3 in the middle of the park The 5 midfield defenders of PN just worked like an accordion moving from side to side with 3 men shutting down at all times and shut Kranjcar virtually out of the game. We were so static and so easy to defend against it was almost unbearable to watch. It was only really the last 10 minutes we looked like doing anything. Rossiter and Jack offered nothing going forward which left the 3 midfielders and Morelos up against 9 men. Playing 6 men in a defensive set-up (as Wallace and Tav were pushed back) meant we were toothless. Moving to a 3-5-2 may have offered more getting in amongst the back 5 of PN.

I am not sure if these things are open to appeal but with the SFA's statement it would seem not. Whether they in time decide to tear up the papers and call in a new commission remains to be seen. It is not the first time the SFA\SPFL have changed the rules. I would imagine if this happened Rangers would take this decision to court. As we all know UEFA rules do not allow clubs to take associations to court so Scotland would be disbanded from all UEFA competitions including the international team. Would the SFA\SPFL be up for that fight? I doubt it as their chance of winning in court is slim. The SC decided what occurred was not illegal just that tax had to be paid. The one worry for me is we know how corrupt the SFA\SPFL and UEFA are and they work out a deal together no matter what a court of law will find. Don't forget the three big words on the SFA statement"AT THIS TIME" That could be to please the haters but it could also be a sign they are trawling the mud. Only time will tell. The decision to put us back down to the bottom tier has given supporters of other teams the taste of blood and power and they are now again gathering together to put pressure on the SFA\SPFL. Will they fold as they did the last time or try to ride out the storm? I have my suspicions that I may be wrong but I think they will try and ride out the storm this time taking the road of least resistance as the other action will throw up one hell of a stormy road ahead.

It's history was kept there was just a change of owner. We have no chance with that excuse, in my opinion.

Personally I don't think that is an argument. When someone takes something over it does not change the history. We are shouting about that ourselves. When you take something over you buy the whole package. If that were the case how many companies that are being sued would just change their names and say "oh we have nothing to do with that it was oldco"

How long did it take Armstrong to perform for the Tims? Was he not called a dud until last season?

I have yet to see any evidence of an upgrade. In fact Dalcio for McKay could be a downgrade. Whether he gets the sack or not upgrade can not be used at this time.

I would love it just for the wind up factor.

They should stick to selecting buses.

I think that must have been before the game begun.

Do Celtic have a British flag hanging at corrugated city yet?

Is calling us Sevco not abusive and could be judged as sectarian. Name calling is abusive or insulting language referring to a person or group, a verbal abuse. This phenomenon is studied by a variety of academic disciplines from anthropology, to child psychology, to politics. It is also studied by rhetoricians, and a variety of other disciplines that study propaganda techniques and their causes and effects. The technique is most frequently employed within political discourse and school systems, in an attempt to negatively impact their opponent.

It is not me calling them a pub team. It is me that is pointing out that some people do it and later I used it in a sarcastic way.

I read other sites where there are many and are not taken to task.

On Tuesday Rangers travel to the Duchy of Luxembourg for the return game against Progres Niederkorn to defend a slim 1-0 lead. No! Sorry that can't be right I will start again. On Tuesday Rangers travel to Luxembourg for the return game against Progres Niederkorn to add to their one goal lead. Surely even suggesting that Rangers could lose to what many call a pub team from Luxembourg would be bordering on insanity? A team from one of the smallest states in Europe and with only a population of over 500,000. No C'mon Ibrox was a fluke performance from Prógres that can never happen again. This time we will open them up and score at least five or six. Possibly but the fact is Prógres, is as Luxembourg City, a fortification. As we know one thing that Rangers have struggled with in the past five years is breaking down fortifications. Under Warburton the tactics were keep hitting your head against the fortress wall and eventually the wall will collapse. If it doesn't collapse then we hit it harder with our heads. Unfortunately for him it was Warburton's strategy that collapsed and he moved on to Nottingham where he attempted to become a Robb'n hood. That fizzled out in the heart of Nottingham forest where he crapped it to take his case to the Sherriff of Nottingham. The sad thing is he made the Rangers giant Davy Weir into his own version of Little John in the eyes of the supporters. The Question is: Has Pedro improved us? At this moment the answer has to be No. Yes, the first half on Thursday produced some sublime football, but that was also the case under Mark Warburton. We also had periods of sublime football with his team. Apart from one situation of fantastic thinking by Niko Kranjcar and Kenny Miller to score the only goal, we still battered our head against the proverbial brick wall. The worrying thing for me was that the team ran out of steam in the second half. The early in the season excuse was banded about but where in the season are this pub team from Luxembourg? Surely they are also in a pre-season situation. I will give Pedro the benefit of the doubt that he is still carrying most of Warburton's team but you are looking for a manager to improve players and I have seen little evidence of that up until now. Looking at Individual performances then Niko Kranjcar stuck out like a sore thumb producing some brilliance and running the whole Rangers attack. Martin Waghorn also stood out like a sore thumb but a real sore thumb. Not totally his fault though as I feel as he was given very little support and that has been a part of rangers recent history we just do not get players in the opposition box. Waghorn was shouting and pointing in numerous occasions that there should be more players in the box. So while it is easy to make Waghorn the enemy of the state for every attack, and he does miss too many chances, It is difficult for every striker when you are stuck on a desert island. One player that has given the team a lift is Ryan Jack.(excuse the pun) Ryan has been excellent in breaking up play and been very safe in his placement of the ball to his team mates. The one thing that I feel we can be maybe a little bit critical about him is, that he may play too safe. He comes very deep to get the ball and then mostly plays it square. If we want to play the pressing game then it would be better if Ryan plays in a slightly more advanced position if we have the ball. Fabio Cardoso looks more than capable of bringing the ball forward. With Cardoso and Alves together we may just have a modern day Butcher and Gough partnership. Dalcio played well in the first half but disappeared in the second. Again it was not totally his fault as the whole team seemed to capitulate. The jury is still out on him. Daniel Candeias came on for Jason Holt and that upset the balance of the team for a while as Kranjcar began to tire. Credit to the manager who saw he had made a mistake with his substitution and brought on Jordon Rossiter to try and regain control. We never really played like we did in the first half again but we did manage to create a few chances which if we scored would have made tomorrow's game a lot more comfortable. Candeias did look very quick and also looks if he could be a more skillful Michael O'Halloran with hopefully an end product. Again it is too early as we have only seen a half-hour of him. Due to it being a fortress, plus the size and geographical position of Luxembourg it has made it the first country to be invaded in most wars. With Belgium(Earlier part of the Dutch empire) France and Germany bordering it, it is influenced by the French and German Cultures. Formed originally as a part of the Roman empire it has been under the rule of of France, Austria, William the 1st of Orange from the Netherlands, and obviously the Germans during the World wars. Tomorrow night it will be invaded again. Not by any of the major countries of the past this time, but by anything up to 10,000 Rangers supporters. Prógres have moved the game to Stade Joey Barthel Stadium where the National team play their games to let as many Rangers supporters possible attend the match. A nice little financial boost for the small Luxembourg club. Many supporters are travelling even without tickets in the hope of acquiring one at the ground.Lets hope all supporters behave themselves whether they have a ticket or not. The last thing we need is to be banned from Europe after just one round. Thankfully the Luxembourg supporters are not known for causing trouble so it should be a party atmosphere. I expect we will will start with the same team as at Ibrox but I do think there will be a place for Herrera and possibly Pena later on depending on their fitness levels : Foderingham Tavernier Bates Cardoso Wallace Holt Jack Miller Kranjcar Dacio Waghorn I would love to see Morelos in instead of Waghorn to see what he can do but I think Pedro will stick to the plan he had in the first leg. As Frankie commented in the first leg preview,"Failure is not an option." C'mon the Gers!!!!

No probs!!!
