An Evening Times reporter said he believed Murray was sitting on the money to make Rangers attractive for a sell out. This may not be such a crazy suggestion. With the AGM coming up he may have many questions to answer. It seems every year he bullshits us during the transfer window, that there is big money on the table for transfers. Funny enough, his managers(Eck and Le Guen) only seem to want to spend pennies and not use the big money available, to buy some good players. Anyone else smell BULLSHIT???

Bernard had already areed with Leeds to join them. Leeds and Bernard were indeed waiting for a Rangers payoff. Then it seems Newcastle jumped in at the last minute. http://www.leedsunited.com/page/NewsroomDetail/0,,10273~891349,00.html

I heard a caller on the radio still thinking Eck would be doing better than Le Guen. I can only say possibly over the 5 games we have played now but not over a season. Maybe he enjoyed watching Ecks crap every week.

Feynoord fans are gathering at the kuip to protest at the signing of Ajax 5th choice striker Angelos Charisteas to replace Dirk Kuijt. Angry fans are shouting for the chairman and whole technical staff to resign. One supporter said we were promised a world class striker and got a ball boy.

Agreed Frankie but from all the deadwood i am glad it is Nacho that is staying. Maybe he can still play a part. Papac was a 3 year deal bye the way.

Arsenal can't do much with the 20 mill now.

Rangers will be doing no more business in this window accorrding to an Ibrox rep. Early to bed then. Probably not.

650.000 euros according to Chick Young that is good business if they wanted a million pounds

According to the Beeb Papac is at Murray park to finish things off.

Fan-Fan has now also been paid off!! BBC Radio

Seems you won't get your wish Craig le Gaffer has stated on the official site that he is finished if he gets a central defender.

Big Marv might help us defensively but he was also caught sleeping many times last year, in a build-up he is worse than a player short. He can score with corners but is that the kind of football we want to watch week in week out? He may be worth keeping just for VoH but then we are going back to the Eck tactics of worrying about the other team instead of playing to our strengths. Marv has to go and we need a dominant CH in the John Terry, Terry Butcher mould.

Give the guy time. 5 games ffs. He has not had time to put in a new bin bag in his office waste paper basket. We look to be heading in the right direction and last year we topped the league in the beginning and then evaporated. This year we have to be ready for a long haul. A last day league win will suit me fine.

The agent of Javier Saviola has claimed that Aston Villa have made an offer for the Barcelona hit-man. The 24-year-old once again finds himself out of favour at Camp Nou having spent the past two seasons out on loan at Monaco and Sevilla. With just one year left on his contract, Barca are keen to offload him permanently this summer but have been unable to agree a deal with interested suitors. The likes of Arsenal, Hamburg, Bolton and Sevilla have all been linked with the Argentine, but it has now emerged that Villa have submitted an offer for the South American. When asked whether a bid from the Midlanders had been submitted, Saviola's agent Alfredo Cabrera responded: "It is true. "We have options in Spain, England and Italy, but there will not be definitive movement until Wednesday." Villa are understood to be doing battle with the likes of Celta Vigo, Real Zaragoza and Villarreal for the diminutive forward who impressed for Argentina at the World Cup. With a deal for Stilian Petrov edging ever closer, the capture of Saviola would represent another sizeable coup for Villa boss Martin O'Neill.

FFFFFCCCKKKK it.... Back-shift:mad: :mad:

Despite Sir Alex Ferguson's insistence that he doesn't require another striker, ManYoo are being heavily linked with a last-gasp move for David Trezeguet. Predicting a '�£12million transfer deadline-day raid' for the Juventus striker, The Daily Mirror says that 'Sir Alex Ferguson made his move for Trezeguet after deciding he needed to bolster his strike-force following the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid.' 'It is understood that Trezeguet's father, who also acts as his agent, has already met United officials to discuss a potential move ahead of Thursday's transfer deadline. 'But Trezeguet has expressed his desire to leave and United are favourites to land the Frenchman, although they face competition from Lyon for his signature.' ManYoo still haven't given up on signing Owen Hargreaves either. According to The Daily Telegraph, Sir Fergie has turned to Sir Bobby Charlton in a desperate bid to persuade a stubborn Bayern Munich to sell Hargreaves before Thursday night. Sir Fergie hopes that 'the ambassadorial qualities of Charlton' and his '40-year association with Franz Beckenbauer' will be sufficient to break the deadlock over Hargreaves' proposed move. However, there are still no indications that Bayern are preparing to budge, with ManYoo chief executive David Gill failing to make any progress with his German counterpart at last Thursday's Champions League draw.

Anyone know how Moses Ashikodi is doing? Is he anywhere near first team football?

I have to admit your right Chris.

Reserves Beaten At Broadwood GERS' coach Ian Durrant was left scratching his head in frustration after he watched his side succumb to their second league defeat of the season to Dunfermline at Broadwood this afternoon. Antoine PonroyDespite dominating most of the game and creating a number of chances throughout the 90 minutes the Light Blues were unable to find the net and this was to prove very costly. In the end a 69th minute strike from Owen Morrison, who also scored a dramatic equaliser against Paul Le Guen's team at East End Park on August 13, was to give the Pars a crucial away win. The Irishman recieved a clever pass from Craig Wilson before chipping Lee Robinson from 22 yards. Durrant was able to include Marvin Andrews, Olivier Bernard and Bob Malcolm in his starting eleven although there were concerns on the sidelines when Antoine Ponroy (left) had to be replaced on 21 minutes after he appeared to injure his shoulder. The defeat means that the Reserves have yet to pick up a point after two SPL games and the coach feels his players must be more ruthless in front of goal. He said: "I am reasonably satisfied with the way we passed the ball and dictated play but we have to show a killer instinct. "We had more than enough chances to win the game today but we did not take them and this let Dunfermline stay in the game which was frustrating." TEAM: Robinson, McMillan, Andrews, Ponroy (Shinnie 21), Bernard, Lennon, Malcolm, Gilmour, Emslie, Stanger (McLachlan 75), Ashikodi Subs Not Used: Sagar, Ure, Woods, Little From the Rangers site!!!

It seems they are worried about his knees after the medical. Sounds like us with Hartson.

Why i say the same about the wife.

29 August 2006 RANGERS 0 DUNFERMLINE 1 Dunfermline's win over Rangers at the Broadwood Stadium meant that the Glasgow club remain rooted to the foot of the SPL Reserve League. Following on their 2-1 reversal at Tannadice last week, Ian Durrant's team fell to an Owen Morrison goal. The Ulsterman who has got himself into a valuable habit of scoring 69th minute goals against Rangers struck with a volley after Craig Wilson cushioned header from an Iain Williamson cross was nicely placed in his direction. The first half was played in awkward blustery conditions that were not conducive to good football. Nevertheless Darren Young shot narrowly wide after 12 minutes and following a series of corners he again was closet with a header that went over the bar. Roddy McKenzie saved from Moses Ashikodi before Dunfermline created another good chance just ten minutes from the break. Alan McDonough's driving run down the right set up Calum Smith but the 18 year old's attempt was deflected for another corner. Smith troubled Rangers on the restart making ground down the right before cutting inside and driving in on goal before releasing a shot that the keeper turned around the post. Rangers were giving as good as they got and were unlucky when a Brian Gilmour shot from distance hit the post. Young was the next to threaten and was a little unfortunate to see his 55th minute shot saved by Robinson. The Pars did however make the opening 14 minutes later with a 22 yard Morrison effort that gave Lee Robinson little hope of stopping the ball as it soared into the top right corner. The lead was preserved thanks to Iain Campbell who quickly mopped up after a fine McKenzie save when Rangers really should have struck. Rangers pressed for an equaliser and Dunfermline looked dangerous on the break but the Pars ran out victors. RANGERS: Lee Robinson, Jordan McMillan, Marvin Andrews, Antoine Ponroy (Andrew Shinnie 21), Oliver Bernard, Steven Lennon, Bob Malcolm, Brian Gilmour, Paul Emslie, William Stanger (William McLachlan 75), Moses Ashikodi SUBS NOT USED: Joseph Sagar, Martin Ure, Sam Woods, Andrew Little DUNFERMLINE : Roddy McKenzie; Greg Ross, Aaron Labonte, Iain Campbell, Scott Morrison; Craig Wilson, Darren Young, Nick Phinn (Iain Williamson 46), Owen Morrison; Calum Smith, Alan McDonough (David Muir 79) SUBS NOT USED: Greg Paterson, Clark Kay, Derek Howie, Neil Fenwick SCORER: O Morrison (69) REFEREE: Graham Chambers NEXT MATCH v Dundee United, Tuesday 5th September 2006, 2.00pm kick off at East End Park Bottom of the league:ffs: What is going on here?
