Surely he has not had time to get up to that dangerous level of fitness where hamstrings and groins snap like rice krispies

Well, Propper has only been here for five minutes.

I could accuse you of many things, but positive is not one of them.....

Rumours, eh? Leeds United 'plot' transfer move for Rangers winger as Georginio Rutter nears £40m exit - Leeds Live (leeds-live.co.uk) Leeds United have been linked with a move for Rangers winger Rabbi Matondo as they bid to bolster their attacking options in the final two weeks of the transfer window. A Football Scotland report states the Whites are considering making a move for Matondo. The Wales international is expected to leave the Scottish giants alongside the likes of Todd Cantwell and Ianis Hagi before the market shuts. Rangers are looking to offload players following their failure to qualify for the Champions League.

If we are stuck with Cantwell and Hagi then Hagi and Cantwell are stuck with us. I am not quite sure how to parse that, particularly if the Hagi bonus scheme is real. I think that sticking them in the stand, or with the stiffs, would suit neither the players, nor Rangers. The players have no showcase, and the Club sees their value diminish, for, substantially, that reason. One could argue that the cost of fielding Hagi, and his bonus, might keep his value at a level which would cover, or even outweigh, the cost of said bonus. If so, reintegrate him. As for Cantwell, I think it difficult to fathom that mind, and its motivation. The lad has talent, but is tactically indisciplined, and,I suspect, has the attention span of a goldfish. I am not sure that he has sufficient ability to enable him to play the maverick role in the current set up. I am not sure that we even have enough talent in the squad to carry a wangeroo in the side. (Maybe Gazza, but that's a different class.) I am sure that Clement does not like allowing a free spirit much, if any, licence. It seems like an impasse, unless the wife/gf takes a view, and tells him to grow up. We have two assets, which dwindle in value, and that, in any enterprise is not a tenable situation.

Ah! The Michael Ball Protocol!

I talk generally. Panegyrics to the proceeds of crime are unacceptable. I fear for a country where that vile, criminal organisation is not buried, but praised.

I'm not apportioning 'blame'. I point out that their success is founded on criminal enterprise. I did so rather bluntly, last night, which was not to your delicate taste. The fact that people find their crimes acceptable, I find monstrous.

What's horrific is 40+ years of child abuse, and decades of suppression, evasion, and denial. What is also horrific is that the figures, etc. that you post, seemingly with approbation, indicate that crime pays, and that, principally, heinous crime pays particularly well. If you don't see that, then you are part of the problem: It's more than Rangers that is fucked.

So fucking what. They rape children.

And, then, the Board will round up the usual suspects..

Well, naively, I think that there are players in line, no matter how godawful useless they are. So, to put a guy who has been injured and is unlikely (!) to play, -cannot give even 10 minutes of effort- to the front of the queue indicates something untoward.

Bitch!!

Indeed, it is sad. But, a fit player on the bench, not necessarily a 'striker' would be better, in a competitive sense.

You are being facetious. However, I think it would do him more good to get fit and, then, have a realistic chance of contributing. I do fear, seriously, that the boy's career is over, and the current machinations relate to insurance.

Well, surely somebody from the stiffs/youths/B Team/Academy, despite limitations, and experience, could figure, and, at least, run about a bit?

is this an accurate assessment?

I fear that we won't see him at all. I don't know why he is on the bench, if he does not figure. Insurance?

It was a fitba' match, improperly administered by the officials. That's all.

That's it done. I hope that we hit a few of the cheating cunts with real 'tackles' before the whistle.

I find it despicable. If find it disappointing that we know this, and fall for it. I find it completely unacceptable that a professional referee falls for it.

They have played the 'referee' like an old bass fiddle. Snidey, cheating shower of cunts. If I breathed somewhere near one of them, he would fall to the ground, and claim that he had contracted bubonic plague.

Good luck with that, Francisco.

The Kyiv goalkeeper is rubbish.
