That's the guy, cheers, as I said I thought he looked like a good prospect, a bit raw but he did show promise

IMO, I don't think it is a good thing to play the likes of Fleck and then leave him out for a couple of games, he should be at least getting on the park even if it is the last 10-20 min just to let him know he is still involved, I know being on the bench can be seen as still involved but for me you have to keep giving him game time

What happened to that young guy from Derby, I forget his name, but he looked quite promising

He certainly did that in the first half on Saturday, we just need him to continue that for th rest of the season and for the whole game

Now you're talking Cammy :cheers:

Nice to meet you as well Barry, sitting with TBO certainly is the place to watch the games with a guaranteed atmosphere

Mmmmmmmm, if that is true then Souness will be the next Scotland manager

Yip, the first half yesterday especially is the kind of football I want to see, the players were well up for it, but what happened after that ?, obviously losing Lafferty was a big blow as the guy was playing out of his skin, but yet again a daft substitution Beasley off Naismith on ????. Still if the players go out with the same kind of approach as the first half then at least we will have a fighting chance

I know there are a lot of guys on here who don't follow Scotland,however Scotland play this Saturday away to Holland as we all know. Looking at the squad above and with a few of these players who are not going to make it, Broadfoot, McManus ?, Hutton ?, I can see a proper hammering on the cards, I normally look forward to the Scotland games but I am not looking forward to this game at all, having said that I will watch it.............from behind the sofa. http://www.theherald.co.uk/sport/headlines/display.var.2497199.0.Injury_problems_mount_for_Scotland.php

RANGERS star Kyle Lafferty fears his season is FINISHED. The Ulsterman was carried off on a stretcher after twisting his right ankle when opening the scoring in Saturdayâ��s 2-2 draw with Hearts at Ibrox. Lafferty will undergo an MRI scan to determine the extent of the damage. But SunSport can reveal that Laffertyâ��s ankle is NOT broken. However it is understood he may have ruptured his ligaments and that could rule the luckless hitman out for the rest of the campaign. It is a huge blow for a player who was just beginning to win over the Ibrox support. The 21-year-old â�� a �£3.25million summer signing from Burnley â�� was clearly in some distress as he was helped from the field at the weekend. His early strike handed Walter Smithâ��s side the lead before Gers skipper Barry Ferguson doubled the Ibrox sideâ��s advantage. But the Jambos staged a storming second-half fightback and snatched a point thanks to two goals in two minutes from Christos Karipidis and Ruben Palazuelos. http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/article2334553.ece

Rangers - 15 Celtic - 14 Keep the faith :cheers:

A draw will do, more dropped points for the MOPES, if only we could learn to capitalise on the chunts

2-2...........chunts

2-1 utd...........MON THE ARABS

United equaliser..................GET IN YA BASS :cheers:

Dream on

Could also be a sign of Walter still being here next season !!!

By John McGarry, 21/03/2009 WALTER SMITH is planning a double swoop for two of Manchester United�s brightest young starlets. Smith sent chief scout Ewan Chester to watch Italian hitman Federico Macheda, right, and Brazilian midfielder Rodrigo Possebon in action for the reserves against Hull last week. Both kids are highly rated by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson who may allow Smith to take the pair on loan. Both players are products of United�s global scouting network and there are high hopes they will push for first- team places in a year�s time. But with first-team football hard to come by in the Premiership, Ferguson has regularly sanctioned his stars going out on loan to help make them the finished article. Possebon, 20, is a box-to-box midfielder and joined United in January last year. He has impressed after returning from injury following a horrific challenge by Middlesbrough defender Emanuel Pogatetz during the Carling Cup third-round match at Old Trafford last September. The Brazilian played a major part in United�s success in the competition this season and has also featured in their FA Cup campaign. He speaks English fluently and has helped United�s other Samba superkids Rafael and Fabio da Silva settle into life at Old Trafford. Macheda, 17, is a product of Lazio�s youth system who joined United in September 2007, signing professional forms a year later in August 2008. A powerful forward with a natural goalscorer�s eye for goal, the teenager was born in Rome and is regarded as one of the most promising prospects of a generation in Italy. Having relocated to England to further his career, Macheda has quickly moved up the ranks at United. He started out in United�s Under-18s side, but has become a regular in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer�s reserves this season. The Italian started the season with a fine goalscoring run in the youth team and has continued to shine in the reserves. Both players scored in the 4-0 win over Hull last week and Chester will have returned to Ibrox with glowing reports on the pair. http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/scottish/scottish_sport/230627/Walters-raid-on-Reds-Walter-Smnith-Rangers-Manchester-United-Federico-Macheda-Rodrigo-Possebon.html

Right now I don't think the title has gone,living in hope,as there is a lot of games to go.We played some terrific football yesterday and if Novo had scored or squared the ball for Boyd to tap in the game was over IMO. I've still to see the Hearts goals again so until I see them I will reserve my opinion, however I just refuse to throw the towel in for now, I have no doubt the MOPES will drop more points, unfortunately we will also drop points so let's keep believing for now

"I look at my time here. I made us difficult to beat and everybody said that was the wrong thing to do. "People now might start to see that this was the right thing to do with my group."

WALTER SMITH admitted his side's 2-2 draw with Hearts 'felt like a defeat' and that his players have to show more resilience if they are to have any chance of winning the SPL title this season. Barry Ferguson, RangersThe gaffer could not hide his frustration after the Jambos came from two goals down to snatch a point at Ibrox and put a huge dent in Rangers' title aspirations in the process. He said: "Obviously we are really disappointed at the situation, one that I don't think anyone that watched the first hour of the match would have thought was a possibility. "It feels like a defeat and in a few minutes we managed to undo probably one of our better home performances this season. "We showed a little bit of softness in letting Hearts get back in to the game. Their first real effort on goal was in the 61st minute of the game which says it all. "It is really disappointing that when you are chasing the title you let a winning position slip in the way we did but we will have to wait and see what impact this has on the championship. "We can only look at the situation we have and there is no doubt we are making it extremely difficult for ourselves, especially at home. "That is us dropped five points in the last two games at Ibrox and that's a huge disappointment especially when you consider we were the better side throughout both fixtures. Steven Whittaker, Rangers "It is difficult to take but there is definitely a softness, a lack of resilience, when we are put under pressure. "I look at my time here. I made us difficult to beat and everybody said that was the wrong thing to do. "People now might start to see that this was the right thing to do with my group." Kyle Lafferty and Madjid Bougherra will be pulled out of their respective international squads. Lafferty was taken to hospital with suspected ankle ligament damage after being stretchered off in the first-half.

Well, everybody is entitled to do what they want, I will renew my season ticket, I am renewing it for me because I want to
