We can afford to look at this philosophically, but Cammy's right -- we need to just shut up on this one.

What was missing last season? Like most people, I was frustrated by McLeish - I wanted to say he was a poor manager, but he did get the results. There was just something missing, though - and that something, hard as it was to articulate, seemed simply to be that we didn't enjoy the way Rangers played - even when they won. So what was missing? Passing and moving. One touch passes. Movement off the ball. All variations on the same thing. Watching us play Middlesborough the other day, I began to see Rangers players playing football. It wasn't magnificent, but it was an infinitude better than all the football we played last season. At the end of the game I felt as if I had watched something worthwhile. The La Guen revolution is as much a revolution of football philosophy as it is a changing of personell - and I, for one, am looking forward to seeing not only a winning, but a passing and moving side next season - I think that is the best way to get the most from good football players.

My maw just got Setanta in. They've been a total nightmare to deal with, though.

Boyd's suspended, I think.

Frankie, What does the FM stats say about this guy?

Cheers m8. I'm still off work ill, but will be back in the next few weeks to posting properly.

Think it'll be: Letizi Hutton Rodriguez Svensson Smith Sionko Hemdani Clement Adam ----------Buffell ----------------Prso with sionko and adam pushing forward when we attack, and falling back when we defend.

I'm sure of some things - not so sure of others. I'm quite sure that your post was excellent, Cammy, and I'm sure this will be the stance taken by most 'progressive' supporters. I'm not so sure that its for the greater good - however. In my own little idealistic world I would like people to come to the conclusion that sectarianism is an utter sham on their own. I think, in time, they will. I just can't help wondering if this Morality By Force is the greater evil here - it seems to me that any ruling based on the possible 'offense' caused is one step on a slippery slope towards utter banality.
