JFK-1

Look totally solid at the back. Saw Goldson say that to his knowledge all of our games have resulted in only 4 shots on target by the opposition. None today.

Felt more relief than exhilaration when it went in. Hopefully another comes soon. They're looking more dangerous overall.

Rangers 3 - Kilmarnock 0 FGS Kent

I'm guessing you mean Jack Wilshere? Definitely questionable as far as his injury history goes. He has missed around 18 months of the past 3 years alone across 4 separate injury periods. Was also out for around 9 months in the year prior to that. Too risky in my view given he would demand a large wage and very possibly rarely play.

Lyon have had chances they simply didn't capitalise on. They're not going to get back into it now. They have to go for it and Bayern will likely score again when they do.

I like McCorie to the sheep. I wish him well but he's not good enough for Rangers. We take their best, Jack, for free and send them our cast offs for a price. It's perfect.

I don't want to see another manager at this point or anytime soon. As has been mentioned many times across many forums and topics it took Alex Ferguson 5 years to turn it around at Man U. And he inherited nothing like the dysfunctional mess nor the huge financial disadvantage Gerrard did.

The fact the game played out in the fashion it did in no way means there was never any intention to "do" anybody, another euphemism for the same thing. And it's not just this game, there will be others where it will feature. Which if that weren't the case then there would have been no need for anybody to be concerned that the referee be doing his job. Would there? There is no need for a referee to mediate "tough running, closing space, applying pressure". You're being absurd talking to me about last wordism, When I refer to that i'm talking about almost literal last wordism, As little as a word or two with absolutely nothing explanatory attached long after a discussion has reached a natural end point. If I make a response it wont be a word or two, it will be an explanation such as this is. I have ample capacity to accept i'm wrong about absolutely anything, you simply haven't proven to me that there is nothing but euphemism in such language. You presenting an opinion of it is no more objective than me presenting an opinion of it. I don't know about you but I grew up mingling in an environment where people meant exactly what they said even when not saying it in the most outright manner. That extended to football and even when just playing football if someone were told to "do him" that's exactly what it meant. This is a feature of the dark side of particularly so West Central Scotland that has always existed, it's one of the most violent countries in Europe and that permeates the entire society. Personally I have actually lost count of the number of people I knew who were murdered or who actually carried out murder. Know one guy who has killed 3 times and another twice. I know a family of 4 boys and 3 girls and 3 of those 4 boys have killed one of them twice. I take what people say seriously even when they're presenting it euphemistically. You continue having no concerns about it, I will continue believing it's an issue in the Scottish game and one of the reasons TV is largely uninterested in it. They can buy bum fights much cheaper. Also I don't mind your interjections, you at least try to present an argument and I have no issue with that. It's not what I mean when I say last wordism. You too have an enjoyable evening.

I'm hoping it was a blip. Keeping in mind pretty much the same thing happened to the yahoos at Killie on another plastic pitch. Might be said it's bound to happen to us from time to time too. Hopefully not as often as it happens to them.

I think it played out in an atypical manner due to the fact they seemed determined to not just stay in their own half but in their own box. That doesn't leave much scope for their kicking game. Too dangerous to be kicking in and around that box. They were simply literally forming a human wall. Presumably the "do him" calls came during the rare occasions they were forced out of their box into uncharted territory. And i'm guessing that's what Holt was booked for.

No this is where you're wrong, and may save yourself some embarrassment. This match simply didn't play out in a typical Livi fashion in that sense. Which by no means is suggestive that it couldn't have. Why do you think this thread was created in the first place, and not by me? You think it was sheer over reaction that it was hoped the referee would be "paying attention to this"? Which wan't my comment either. Everybody but you and the last word have embarrassingly unrealistic concerns? Is it brand new to you that hopes for the referee to protect Rangers players have been commonplace for years? You always thought that was just hysteria? Nothing to be bothered about? The thread was created because everyone knows and has known for a long time that this is indeed what they do and they're not the only ones. Sheep, Hearts, Motherwell and Livi probably the worst offenders. All typically top of the fouling and yellow/red card charts at the end of a season and that's not by chance. And if you want to pretend otherwise I would suggest you're making a bit of a goat of yourself.

Well first things first, there is no God, that's a construct of ancient peoples. An early attempt to explain what to them was the unexplained. At first many such supernatural beings to explain different mysteries such as the wind, the seas, the sky and stars and so on. Later the super being became amalgamated into just one with all the super powers of the earlier multitude. But it still wasn't real. In summary, there will be no assistance from the non existent supernatural. Only you can help yourself.

Perfectly fine, but you're not and you don't have the capacity to grasp it.

Perhaps your level of comprehension requires some sharpening. You're in here rambling away on a topic thread started for the very reason I went on to acknowledge was realistic. You think this topic was as witless as you're being?

Could pull off McLaughlin for all he has to do and throw in Itten.

Frequently been 21 players in their half. McLaughlin should just get up there and join the crowd for the full 22.

Possession 78% with 9 shots 0 on target.

Perfect example of how unsuitable it is when Morelos went down "with no one near him". Stud stuck in it causing him to go over on his ankle.

Livi 0 - Rangers 4 Morelos

You remind me of the classic text book case of last wordism, talking just to be talking and saying absolutely nothing of any relevance to a point. That's hysterical.

Yes it is pointless considering this utter nonsense your using as an argument. It's long been agreed around here that opposing teams use violent tactics against Rangers, yet all of a sudden that's not real. Then you go on to contradictory rubbish about me being inside Holts head, while you claim to be inside Gerrards head. If you can't derive what Holt means when he says that your simply not very insightful. Are you so blind you don't get undertones? If I walk up to someone and aggressively say i'm going to get you that doesn't mean anything sinister? You really don't get this?

Well let's play your no content game. He is though, And that's going to become evident soon enough.

I was wondering the same thing. Odd leaving him out entirely if he's not.

I'm deflecting from nothing, if anybody is you are. I understand perfectly that when Gerrard may say such a thing he's not talking about a strategy. He's talking about what he knows they're going to face. He's saying we know this is what they will do and we wont be intimidated. He's not saying our plan is we're going out there to kick lumps out of them. This guy on the other hand is saying exactly that. No doubting that so don't be deflecting with talk of what a nice guy he is while implying Gerrard is advocating 'ugly', a euphemism for kick the shit out of them, as a game strategy.

There's a financial downside to that which wouldn't suit Rangers. Only one gate presumably split. Two legs two gates each side keeping all of their own home gate.
