Jordan Houston next to leave full time folks More positive about Leon King now

Where did you obtain this information? In recent finals we've had two second tier sides play each other, Gretna in the final etc. It's cup football, so occasionally we'll have to play away, on poor pitches and at small grounds. Take that away and it kind of defeats the purpose.

On Saturday night we had the pleasure of presenting the Founders Story for the Corby Loyalists Flute Band and friends. At the end of the evening our Restoration of Rangers Graves Project donations bucket was sent around the hall and the wonderful amount of £195.01 was raised. We’d like to thank everyone for an incredible weekend ,we were treated like royalty,and for your generosity on the night as this will help to ensure that our restoration work continues over the coming months. Thank you.

I was at that game, Adrian Sprott who was a full time cop and part time footballer did the damage. Threw everything but the kitchen sink at them but it turned out to be just one of those freak occurrences. My suggestion isn't about disrespecting Accies. It's about what their preference would be given the option. Another memory of that day was that Chris Woods broke a shutout record during the match then conceded a goal to a part timer. It was actually the fault of Dave McPherson who was out the door soon after. The glare Souness gave him sticks in my mind too.

I couldn’t be on the 72 board & putting out rumours or being objective against board issues, the whole narrative of the blog would be compromised by accusations it was led etc What if next transfer rumour I do nail then accusations it’s getting leaked to me etc by the board Just not worth the hassle

I disagree completely. It's the Scottish Cup, not a think tank for money men. First team out of the hat play at home.

Quite a silly idea. All the money in the world would be of no use to a football club that thought like a loser.

I listened to the Gersnet podcast for the first time after reading the Club1872 statement on Rangers related social media. I must say guys, it's an excellent pod and I'm now a confirmed follower!

"it gets tiresome, Rangers supporters saying Stuart is a Rangers hater". The above was said last Saturday by Tam Cowan. It's January 11th, and we are midway through the show when a contrived link is utilised to prove DrStu' does not hate Rangers. Rene Guttuso's name is raised and we are informed both Tam and DrStu' met Rene in the Hilton after signing for Rangers. DrStu' remembers getting Guttuso to hold up his St Johnstone scarf, having fun, and liking the young lad! In it's twenty-sixth year, Off the Ball is indulging in some revisionism. Gennaro played for Rangers for eighteen months in 1997 and '98, he made thirty-odd appearances, scoring three goals. He was a popular figure among the Rangers support. Off the Ball had been going for 3-4 years at that period and habitually referred to both Rangers and Rangers supporters as "H-u-ns". It was the common currency of the show then. They commissioned weekly sketches from BBC Scotland's Comedy Unit, and Gattuso appeared regularly as, "the little hairy monkey". He was portrayed as a stupid monkey continually at odds with modern life. No hesitation in BBC Scotland exercising an already existing stereotype. DrStu' gets excited and when he does he becomes garrulous. He cannot help himself, and in particular he offered, "if Gattuso was in any way a decent prospect as a player, he wouldn't be at Rangers". You can file that one under knowing three separate Rangers supporting season ticket holders who no longer attend Ibrox because they do not believe it's the same club. Gattuso in his career won 73 caps for Italy, securing both the World Cup and Euro championship. Further, at club level he won the Champions League twice and several domestic honours. I can only imagine this latest piece of theatrical revisionism has came about because DrStu' has come into contact with Gennaro's Glasgow born wife, Monica? Keep up the Scare! The beginning of last week's football broadcast from the PQ Gang Hut was DrStu' and Tam reminding the listenership of events from a fortnight before. The first words were, "does Scottish football need saved by Steven Gerrard"? We had five minutes describing the gesticulations of Morelos and Kent at ra Sellik Park. Both DrStu' and Tam pleaded for Rangers supporters to consider these players reactions in reverse, what if Sellik supporters had cut their throats and shot off imaginary guns in front of Rangers supporters? Remember, Lennon was demanding a scrapping of Liam Christie's two match ban and a full apology. Why was this not discussed; as opposed to a number of PQ employees questioning Derek McInnes, Ian McCall, and Robbie Neilson as to their need for saving? Knowing what we know today, I am becoming more convinced DrStu' knew what was coming to both Kent and Morelos last week, and it was all about preparation, a fortnight after the event. DrStu' enjoys being on the establishment side. The Man in the Know. The other man in the know by proxy inside PQ these days, is Michael Stewart. Regularly, he is indulged and allowed to batter Craig Levein. More regularly, he has a waiting expectant audience enjoying his, "I don't like the way Rangers do things as a club". He spent fifteen minutes demanding answers to Ryan Christie's citing by the Compliance Officer. He wanted to know who, why, and when cited. No answer from both Daryll Broadfoot and a recently retired Ref'(didn't catch his name) was enough. He talked, then shouted over both adversaries; even pulling both up short for their usage of English. Given his own power of communication is such, I was surprised with his concluding, "if Ryan Christies grabbing out for balance is a red, then the game is a bogey". To bring this up to date, today we have heard nothing of Morelos or Kent. No one is being saved and the Gattuso guff was just a big lie. There is a price to pay for defeating the favoured establishment club in their own midden. The Gang Hut will take as long as it takes to collect the toll.

I've just watched the Celtic game back and have a question. What powers are open to a referee and how do they come to a decision like yellow carding Morelos for his 'gesture'? The reason I ask this is because it's clear that the referee didn't react at all at the time. So, when did he yellow card him? Can a referee yellow card him an hour after the game when he's been influenced, or does it need to be done at the time? I really don't understand this. I can understand how the SFA can (and will) use its powers, but how can Morelos be given a third yellow card for that incident? It seems utterly bizarre to me.

He’s in fine fettle & sends his best regards to all the Rangers support, sure this is going to be ‘our’ year. Speaks positively about Stevie Gerrard and the team An absolute gentleman, covered the highs & lows of his Rangers career, Birmingham, Scotland Will be out in a few weeks on 4lads podcast which you can get on all usual platforms I’ll leave you with one quote he told us tonight ‘ ‘The biggest shiver up my spine, it was something I’ve never experienced before, the most amazing feeling when the Rangers fans roared which hasn’t been equalled since’ Alex McLeish on 22nd May 2005

I'm a bit uncomfortable with this C1872 seems too close to the club. We need a fan's organisation that's happy to criticise the club when required, and not just be its mouthpiece when the club's too scared to issue its own statements.

I thought Murphy was doing alright until he got injured.

I suppose we have you to speak on behalf of all Scottish chairmen and all fans of the diddy clubs, so what do I know.

Suggesting it for cup games between two top flight teams is just as ridiculous. Absolute lunacy. I could ALMOST get behind it for a Junior club playing an OF team, but top flight teams ? Nope, not ever. You aren't talking about Stranraer, youre talking about another team in Scotland's top flight. Fans shouldn't be taken into account in this type of suggestion - the rules of the competition, tradition, and common sense should though. Silly suggestion.

Completely agree. Allowing clubs to change the venue based on their financial desires completely ruins the romance of the cup. Like it or not, Accies should be playing this tie at home, not at Ibrox. Maybe we should just let Accies, St Mirren, Killie etc play all their league games against the OF at Ibrox or Parkhead too - you know, because it would be financially beneficial for them to do so. It's a ridiculous suggestion for a top flight club to give away home field advantage to another top flight club.

Gone for a burton

Why go to all that bother?! Just compare expenditure on players and award the trophy to the team that has paid the most.

The romance of the Cup is alive and well then. Should we just start at the QF stage with the top 8 SPFL sides then?

I think a lot of Clancy's actions and decisions need explained. There was a situation in yesterdays Liverpool game when Salah was away on the wing. The linesman waved his flag in a more frenetic manner, signalling foul play??? The ref booked the defender. Which fits with usual practise. It looked identical to one Bolingoli got away with on 29th. The CO is a joke. I'm glad the club is going after them. But again, its time and energy wasted fighting fires. This should've been killed with fire in the summer. I would like to know clubs options if foul play or interference can be proved on SFAs part? There must be a higher power interested in corruption.

I seen to remember the accies causing an upset against a far better Rangers team than the present team we should show them respect.

Liverpool 30 points ahead of 5th placed Man U ?.

Hamilton away? Groan.

Don't know but her last job was with Celtic's lawyers. ?

A wee thank you message from Arthur Numan ?

As per title, we played a closed doors game against Queen of the South, winning 4-1 From the snippets out there: Line up McGregor - Flanagan, Goldson, Mayo, Barisic - Kamara, Barjonas, Polster, Ojo - Kent Morelos Goals: Morelos 2, Kent & Ojo

What, suicides at mass?

In order to stand you have to be a life member and/ or a monthly contributor . I think that rules out Forlanssister as he has said he has let his membership lapse. I believe Gersnet is a life member but can propose as many people as it wants.

Can Gersnet effect a bundle of nominees such as PLG, Stevie, and Forlanssister? Let's have a true reflection of reasonable and rational folks. I am prepared to vote early and often to achieve this goal.

Find it hard to believe we would spend that money on a player who has played all his senior career in the second tier of French football. Scored 22 goals in 107 appearances according to Wikipedia.

Brian talks to Mr Mediocre. It's been a long week, Brian McLauchlin has hung in there, doing the Beau Geste thing. Three interviews with various representatives of, "the Scottish Champions". We saw Aberdeen players milling around Glasgow Airport and an Emirates plane taking off. On Thursday, Steven Gerrard received the Manager of the Month for December award, no footage of the presentation, no mention on Radio or TV. Beau Geste slung the Toerags a rubber. Brian is on the BBC Scotland website and it received radio coverage throughout the day, talking to Mr Mediocre about the need for Scottish football to be saved. Derek is firm, "Scottish football does not need to be saved". I am confused at this point, I am wondering if an evangelical crusade is wandering across the dessert? BBC Scotland did NOT cover the Rangers warm weather training camp(a mile done the road in Dubai), on receiving his Manager of the Month award, Gerrard answered a question on Scottish teams participating in English competitions. He thought it was a good idea and could possibly save Scottish football in providing necessary variety. "Our product is good" bellows Derek. He reinforces it with, "Rangers and Celtic are doing well in Europe". Another continuity problem for PQ there; of Rangers 28 Euro' games over the last two seasons, BBC Scotland have refused to cover 14 of them, because they were played at Ibrox. It's just another PQ Gang Hut production, masters of the intermittent broadcast. I hope it's not because Michael Stewart does not like the way Rangers do things as a club? Next season, may I suggest spends a week talking to Chris McLaughlin, it will be the same effect and cost a helluva lot less.
