I wish you would tell my wife that.

Welcome to the site.

I think that was a well known fact but they did settle with other teams and that makes it suspicious.

No problem with me. I will follow follow.

Good post mate and I agree with a lot of it but I disagree about the tackle but I don't want to go through all the arguments about it again. As the saying goes what goes around comes around and our time will come. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I witnessed them and us winning 9 in a row and I hope I don't see a 10 in a row for them in my lifetime and I am not tired of living just yet.

Sorry for the late reply BD but I was working in the Garden. That would be great. If you pm me your mobile number I will phone you as I have a Dutch number and it save you an international call. Are you going to the Neptune for a drink before the game?

Cheers that sounds easy enough.

Is there anyone meeting at Ibrox to walk\travel to the restaurant and if not then can you give me an address and general directions.

One thing I wanted to add but forgot was that with Aberdeen and Celtic in the cup final the 4th placed team has also qualified for Europe so St Johnstone will probably be in Europe as well.

Don't Mention the War-Partick Thistle vs Rangers Match Preview Scottish Premiership Sun, 7th May 2017, 12:15pm Sitting down to write the preview this week was extremely difficult. Funny enough the first thing that entered my head was a well known comedy sketch in Fawlty Towers.I am sure nearly every one will remember the hotel getting German guests and Basil Fawlty (John Cleese) strutting about shouting “Don't mention the war” That is the feeling I have at this time, “Don't mention the war” The war I am struggling not to mention was of course our 5-1 capitulation at Ibrox last week against Celtic. It was a Bomb blast in the lives of every Rangers supporter. You could say that just like Basil Fawlty and and his waiter Manuel (Andrew Sachs) the Rangers team played out a comedy of errors. The difference is watching Basil and Manuel making a fool of themselves was hilarious. Watching the Rangers team make a fool of themselves was far from funny. They always say you need bad things to happen to you to make you stronger so this is one of these times we need to prove this piece of psychology has an element of Truth. Lets face it, If we as supporters can't pick ouselves up and once again get behind the team, then how do we expect the team to pick themselves up and come out fighting with all guns blasting. With that in mind we move on to Sunday where the Rangers team take the short trip to firhill park. I personally have good memories of firhill as being brought up in Kelvinhaugh and later Kelvingrove Firhill was always within walking distance. I have even played there in an amateur trial game(unsuccessfully) and I also remember watching Scotland Schools beating England Schools 2-0 with my boyhood friend Jim Kelly the ex Ross County player and manager, who started his carreer with Partick Thistle under Bertie Auld, playing a huge part in that win I also found it funny when visiting firhill there were also always a number of supporters who watched the game from the hill behind the stadium. I noticed on TV last week they have now placed large advertising boards to prevent that. Commercial interests dominate modern football and every penny counts these days. “Mr can I have a lift over the turnstile” days are long gone. It is more like the song from the flying Lizards, I need money, (that's what I want.) PedroCaixinha may be brining out a cover version this summer. Pedro has stated that he will start telling players next week whether they have a future at Rangers or not as he strives to build a team to challenge Celtic for the league next season and will need a large amount of cash to do so. As for now he has to make the best of what he has and build them up for the fight to finish second in the league. Sundays game will be a perfect opportunity for players to prove to him they have a worth or put them in the shop window to attract other clubs. He wants the players to be professional and fight to the end but as we all know if you know your number is up it is difficult to find the motivation to fight on. So that may play a roll in the games to the end of the season. Picking a team for Sunday may give some insight to what players may be staying and I think he will keep Foderingham in goal even although he had a shocking game last week.(aaahhh Don't mention the war) I personally would like to see what Alnwick can do to be honest as Foderingham regularly makes more mistakes than good saves and for such a big guy he is a nightmare at crosses. Tavernier Hill Wilson and Beerman will also keep their places more out of little choice for change than anything else. Midfield is the difficult place to guess how Pedro will set up. Will he stick with the lightweight trio of Hyndman Holt and Windass or will there be recalls for Toral(if fit) and Halliday. McKay has been a non-starter of late and O'Halloran must have hard skin on his bottom by now with the amount of time he has sat on the bench. Miller is probably the only certainty for a place in attack with Waghorn, Garner, windass and McKay fighting it out for the other two places. I think Pedro's team will be. Foderingham Tavernier Hill Wilson Beerman Holt Toral(if fit) Hyndman Waghorn Garner Miller Lets hope we can all get that losing feeling out of our system and get back to winning ways again it certainly makes a week on the Rangers forums a happier place so from now on remember “Don't mention the war”. C'MON the Rangers

You certainly could not play 4-3-3 as he would need to play around a player like Garner.

Reading on other forums he was often on the list for people they wanted to see out the door. i personally have never seen him but find it strange people want him out the door without a chance. After Foderinham's performance last week he would be in my starting line-up for Sunday. I have not seen them in training though and Pedro was a keeper and he brought in his own trainer so I guess he knows a good keeper when he sees one.

Boyhood hero along with Dave Smith and Big Tam Forsyth.

Like Phillipe Senderos?

Why is Jak Alnwick getting a lot of negativity on-line already without getting a game is there a reason for that?

I don't know any of them except Paterson so I can't judge them. While Paterson was linked with us before I thought he was very slow the last time he played against us. It may just have been a bad match for him though.

I am not a wine drinker I am afraid.

Has he gave off any clues yet to what his playing style is?

I actually think Whittaker's statement is the worse of the two with the club has no history. Naismith stated clearly it was Sevco and Green where he had the problem with and in hindsight he actually got it right. The club wouldn't have got the money anyway it would have found it's way into big fingers back pocket. I however agree with uilliam that bringing back players seldom works and would prefer to look further. It would actually not surprise me if Naismith goes to the Tims.

If it hasn't until now it will.

I heard a commentator for the Ross County v Inverness game say a team were after whittaker. I can't remember who it was.(age thing)

Thanks Dell i am not up on financial things so you will certainly be more accurate than me. Did he not just take the 50 million debt and split it up under his other companies. Am I right in saying it reduced our debt from 90 mill to 40 mill at that time?

Murray didn't bring in loads of cash as some people think and he made millions from building contracts and the catering. The only time I can remember him adding money was underwriting a share issue for 50 million. To be honest I don't even know what that means underwriting a share issue.

One memory that will never leave my head was Mikhailichenko pulling his head down out of the way of a shot when he could easily have headed it away. That goal put us out of Europe if I remember right.
