Devil's advocaat

I'm positive about our current playing staff, it's early yet but we've signed a lot of potential, just need a few more experienced players and we'll be in a decent position. I'm sure we'll see some of the dead wood moved on, nothing much happens with this til late on in the window every year. We also have a manager who has earned the right to build a squad and a playing style, that I'm sure will bring success. We need to trust in someone, and get into a position where we're strengthening every year by adding 2 or 3, not having a clearout every time. In terms of the stadium delays, it's not great, but show me any big infrastructure project that's on time. It doesn't happen, and it's nothing to do with low quality steel, the supply chain for materials is an absolute nightmare these days, there's a huge shortage of good project Engineers and Managers too. The situations lies firmly at the feet of previous boards, who let the stadium maintenance drift. I'm an optimist, partly by choice, as it's a nicer world to live in. Yes it means I get disappointed a lot more than a pessimist, but I bounce back quickly. Mon the Rangers.

Compo won't like that, this boy should be doing his talking on the park!. 🤫😉

Been to Berlin a few times, and agree, East is far more interesting. First time I went was a drinking weekend, stayed in a hostel boat on the Spree, which was superb. There was a chuck wagon close by that did excellent curry wurst, which I saw in the best street food in Germany guide in Observer food monthly a while later as best currywurst in Germany!. Went back a couple of times with the wife, tbh it's wasted as a drinking destination (as most places are) and I enjoyed it far more seeing the many, many interesting places. Enjoy Gonzo.

Depends if Hefty is shite or no!

Aye, absolutely, but my point was that he never blew his way into a first team at 16 and stayed there. If anything, it shows our coaching up in this country that he has to go to Italy to be the player he is.

I'm of the opinion that it's not a Rangers problem, it's a national problem. Who was the last player any club here started playing at 16 or 17 who actually went on to have the career that the early promise suggested?. Gilmour had the odd flash of first team football, but never was a first team pick, I can't actually recall anyone else. An extreme example, granted, but Jamal at 16 has 30 odd caps for his country, and has looked on pf the very best at the euros. He's not alone, Spain have had a few in recent years. Lowry is basically a classic, oft repeated example of a young, talented player who just disappears up his own balloon knot.

Christie played 50 odd league games for ICT before he went to tenko, but yes, your point stands

Who needs bheggar infiltrators on here when we have you, Compo? 🤣

Where's that coming from Buster?

Ignore

Ibrox chat is about as reliable a source as Frank McAvennie.

I've said before, he's not for me, but I'm sure he'd be decent for a couple of seasons, As long as he's not on stupid money.

Compo's pals...

They don't manufacture steel, merely a distributor. I'd be amazed if their product isn't asian manufactured.

Like it or not, Asia is the factory of the rest of the world now. We in the UK do not produce enough steel, that's a fact. There's been a huge excess worldwide demand for metals since covid, and before. If you want to use steel not produced outwith the UK, Ibrox will be out of action for wayyyyy longer, and we'd have no money left for players.

Looks a big strong lad, a bit like a big Darcheville. Looks like he'll no take any shite.

🤞🏼

The Balkan Zidane!

Watching his youtube reel, every goal looks a bit Dessersesque....

I think so Compo, as Yuddie says, it's a no brainer.

As I said, no one had a sniff of this. Fantastic. 👏🏻

I like the fact there's very little coming out in the 'news' outlets regarding our dealings, Gerrard had this down to a tee, they knew fuck all til the deal was done.

A half what? 😆

Can't disagree with that.

Lets hope that's true.
