  1. Dreadful performance. Replacing Matondo with Souttar is unexplainable. Everything went downhill from then on as the team had so few attacking options. Going with a back 5 and 3 defensive midfielders at home against Motherwell is just crazy.
  2. Davies made a few great tackles and interceptions and was the one player who didn't misplace a pass when the rest could only find Betis players, plus he "scored" in my opinion lol. Butland had a great game, the one missed cross at the end apart, and Lammers made a big difference when he came on and was instrumental in the goal. Got to go for Davies.
  3. It was an awful season. The football was crap and we had so many injuries. Hateley carried us that year.
  4. I remember watching Tony Bloom on Late Night Poker. He's done well for himself since then.
  5. Scummy bastards are trying to avoid the bad PR of it going to court.
  6. As far as I'm aware every way game is vastly over-subscribed.
  7. It does seem strange that they appear to get so many for all the games. How many tickets does a gold Mygers person normally get a season?
  8. Many who voted no could be optimists who hope Beale can turn it around or it's still to early and he deserves a chance. It's alien to many to call for a Rangers manager to be sacked. I know personally or have met at least 5 of the no voters and can vouch that they aren't at the wind-up and aren't Celtic fans.
  9. Those days are passed now And in the past they must remain But we can still rise now And be a nation again Seems fairly clear that the rising is talking about present day (note the use of "now") and not the Battle of Flodden.
  10. Also is not referring to the Battle of Bannockburn?
  11. Fraser Fletcher? Hardly a reliable source 😂
  12. Firstly, that verse isn't part of the official national anthem. Secondly, I've never heard it sung. Thirdly, I have no problem with the verse. It's only referring to rebellious Scots and not all Scots, and I'm totally in favour of rebellious Scots being crushed.
  13. It's really not the time to be issuing this. Read the room.
  14. Our national anthem is GSTK. It doesn't matter whether you're Scottish or English. That's your national anthem. The SFA have decided not to use it for whatever reason and chosen FoS as the anthem to use for the Scottish football team. It isn't our national anthem though and the SFA don't decide what our national anthem is. The English FA have decided to use the national anthem as the national anthem. They've kept it simple and are using it correctly, unlike the SFA.
  15. He's the only left back in the European squad so I can't see us selling him.
  16. That's apparently a fake/photoshopped picture and quote.
  17. Yeah, there's been a few rumours suggesting that players' family members have been saying that.
  18. You say balancing the books is required now and again, but where does the cash come from in the year where we want to overspend? Borrowing cash got us into trouble before and I'm not sure who would lend us, say £10 million. Our best way out is with a manager who can spot stars and bring them in cheaply, and build a successful team that way. With Cantwell and Raskin, I was hopeful we had that, and maybe the other players brought in recently are good but need another manager? Other than that, it's not an easy answer. I'm sure our directors have been trying to come up with a solution.
  19. The board always said that the rebuild would be front loaded and they gave Gerrard funds to rebuild the team, that led to us winning the league and reaching a Euro final. The problem is now that there's no excess funds to spend on giving managers more cash. The well of the cash from directors has largely run dry and we therefore have to rely on player sales and fund generated from Europe to firstly pay for our day-to-day expenses, including wages, and then go towards player purchases. Gerrard didn't want any of his squad sold so it's his own fault that his budget was limited. It's a fact of life that we have to balance the books nowadays. We've spent £14m+ on 3 players and that's not bad going.
