Devil's advocaat

It's a nice problem to have, a wealth of quality centre backs, and not one we've had for many years.

Welcome to The Rangers Nnamdi.

Derby is a good move for the big unit, get stuck in, fit, and play football, come summer we may be looking to take him back and give him another chance, he shouldn't be jettisoned for one daft mistake IMO. There's definitely a player in there.

Kamberi will be a decent signing for Dolly, he's a better player than that big clugger they've just sold.

That would gie ye the boak.

He should never be near a tv camera again, spent most of the time looking at his shoes, mumbling, frowning, and zero insight or deeper analysis into any of the games. At least our host managed to hide his disappointment at his teams further demise.

McFadden is a dour wee bastard anaw.

Present us this liability evidence? How many games has he cost us due to these actions? How many points has he got us since he came here? 

Compare those two numbers, and come back to us.  I'll be wanting to see your workings. 

He's no moron, it was spur of the moment, mixed in with a wee thought to get that clugger porteus back. If you've played at any level, you'll recognise that side of the game.

It's not a witch hunt either, he deserved to go. We move on.

I can only imagine the story if a Rangers supporting Author, say David F. Ross, was on Rangers TV and referred to Stevie Mallan as a 'Sweaty Kenian'...

According to SSN, Jordan Jones is having a medical at Sunderland ahead of a loan move until the end of the season. 

 

 

Not a great idea for him, from what I hear when he was at Killie he was never away from Middlesborough after games. Another good player wasted by his own inability to take his career seriously.

cosgrove has been clean through on our keeper twice that i recall and both times were hilarious. 

 

no idea what to do before doing nothing. 

Yup, in that last game he was clean through and bore down on our goal with the conviction of a junior centre hauf! ?

Cosgrove has been awful this season tbh, he looks more like the big cairthorse that he did before his one season wonder period. Hibs will end up with Thumb heid again, once that lot finally realise he's no interested in getting himself fit once again. He'll be even more of a nitwit at Easter road, as hard to believe as it is.

Yup, Real have been bailed out for years. How the hell does a club with their earning steam end up in so much debt.

Nothing to get excited about.

I recall some folks saying the same about Ryan Jack, Kamara too.

Imagine a scenario if you will, last day of the season, and we get the opportunity to lie down to someone, sheep, hivs, whoever, to stop the reptiles getting 2nd place and that CL spot...

The impending timplosion would be worth it, oh the joy!

Fantastic, I want to see his pain and suffering to be a long, drawn out affair, and for him to see the champions beat his lot in their own midden again before. 

Any manager worth his salt would be looking to play one way against them, ironically the way they used to play with big mutton, play for free kicks and corners. They are abysmal from set pieces.

So tackling, grappling at corners, intimate goal celebrations and standing side by side to defend a free kick are all fine but milling around pre-match is a no-no?

Yes, This has been the case since elite sport restarted, same in rugby, obviously it's a part of both games so the exception is that the close contact is permitted on the pitch in a match situation and in training. If the sporting bodies didn't agree to this, we wouldn't be watching sport as we are now.

Do they socially distance at corners or when they're defending a free kick?

The exception for football is over the line, ie playing or training. They'll be doing it on purpose so that the village idiot can lump Livvy in with st johnstone and hamilton in his next special assembly.

The sight of him launching his Snus into the snow last night was a particular highlight.

They were dead on their feet at the end, imagine hanging on against a team that was missing more first teamers than the Dubai dynamos were?. Tremendous.

I need to have a listen to the full press conference, the wee extracts I've seen are gold! Love the line about his rage at Sturgeon using the term R and R, when she was quoting him directly! Thicker than a whale omelette.

Aye, I'd agree Bill. It may be that he's one of those you hate him at other teams, but would love him in your own type guys. 

Our celebration yesterday was noticeably muted, and I'd imagine that was on purpose, given the interviews with face coverings etc. 

It's natural to be disappointed, but that's a decent result, still sitting great.

Noticeable lack of contact at the goal celebration, have to say our professionalism throughout this season has been exemplary.

Onward and upward.

I don't think Gerrard would tolerate complacency. Gerrintaethum!.

Quote

He'll have a longer career if he retires from it.

It's hard to quantify that one, aye less games equates to less chance of injury, but the likes of Steven Davis has managed a fair amount of caps, which has enriched his game.

Bill, I'm hoping the lure of CL football will keep Kamara here for a while yet. If he goes though, best of luck, we'll do well out of the deal. Keen to see this boy Campbell of Well in the game, as he seems to be getting good reviews, must say I've not paid much attention to him.

I wish Jack would quit international football.

Nope, always been proud to have Gers in the national team, always will be. 

Another tough game in what has been a pretty solid stretch of games, keep the foot on their neck Rangers.
