  1. There is no chance of Rafa returning under Ashley regime. If the takeover in the summer had been approved, Rafa would have been appointed in place of Bruce. I live in NE England. He is the Messiah in these parts. It was hoped with proper targeted investment he would have improved them. Although, Bruce is a Geordie, he is not held in high regard and his brand of football is soulless. We are so fortunate to have rid ourselves of Ashley and SD. His shadow hangs heavily over Newcastle Utd, if you think we've had it bad spare a thought for Toon followers. No silverware since 1969!
  2. They'll be sweating if Bruce gets the push. Hot favourite to take over there I believe!?
  3. Just have. Quite appalling really. It really does reflect the lack of balance in their reporting. You are left with the impression we scored 5 goals from defensive mistakes, oh and apparently it was not a penalty either! No mention of us hitting the post or the string of saves their keeper made. No mention of the relentless high pressure press that lead to the errors. They even mention Neil Lennon in their summary! A more honest reflection on the game is provided by John Hughes "credit to them for the way they pay football and pass" Good old BBC indeed!
  4. Agree with most of the postings. We truly have been blessed with some great keepers. I love all 4 of these guys but due to the huge impact he and the other English signings made in the Souness revolution I'm going with Woods. He also held the British record for longest period without conceding a goal I seem to remember.
  5. Interested to note from all the pre and post interviews today, Rangers seemed to have stepped up their Covid protocols by wearing masks now. I wonder if that is just a subtle jibe in the direction of our rivals failure in this regard?? Might be an idea to change our PPE provider however, as the masks clearly do not fit snugly over the nose. Or maybe we received John Kennedy's order by mistake??
  6. Morelos and Kent defy their critics and have both have a stormer. Who would have thought it?? Morelos just shades it!
  7. It has to be Mcgregor, we could have been 2 goals down inside 20mins if not for him.
  8. If you look at that incident, time and time, as PQ did last night, watch the trajectory of the ball while Bitton is grappling with Alfie. It like a Crown Bowls play, the ball has curved gracefully into the penalty area, a perfect out to in ball played with deadly precision. It was certainly no rugby union punt down the line that suits Tom's narrative! It looked like a fully repentant Michael last night, having to change tack to pick the bones of Sellick's defence. I also think he demurs to Neil McCann, as his superior tactical analysis and knowledge leaves Mikey to self reflect on biotronics or some other fallacy. Was a bit disappointed that even Alfie escaped his wrath last night!
  9. I would agree 100% with that. Considering the set up punter wise was him, Boyd and a so called "neutral" in the shape of McFadden. If you were listening to them without knowing their backgrounds you could have assumed Petrov was the neutral. Very measured in his analysis, knowledgeable, very fair and articulate (speaks English better than the other 2 as well). He was a breath of fresh air in comparison to the likes of Sutton, Hartson, Walker et al. He is worth a Sky retainer, I also liked Darren Fletcher who did the opener at Pittodrie, but maybe he is used more in England.
  10. I find it hard to actually determine what Zungu's attributes are, as we really see so little of him. How many games has started? I can only think of 2? How many 90mins? I'm sure some of the Gersnet "Statto's" will put me right? He has been thrown on late in a few to shore up / defend leads. To me, it's a real Catch 22. To see what he has in his locker I think he needs a consistent run, but its hard to see him getting that opportunity. I seem to recall, Ryan Jack having a very shaky start to his Rangers career (a lot through injury I know) but I just feel the guy has had limited opportunity to show much.
  11. Any comments from the OP? Are your nerves shredded? ? Any view on the sending off??
  12. Well, if that's the case, the manager and team have 45 mins to prove it. Totally outfought, out-thought, and second to every ball. We have our goalkeeper to thank we are still in with a chance!
  13. Having watched the aforementioned BBC Disclosure documentary, I would have to agree it was a hard watch. Overall it was a fair representation of the facts. However, the last few minutes of the programme disappointed me (although I somewhat expected it) when the focus seemed to shift to the culpability of RFC to the tragic events of 1971, 1962 and before. In my view it left the viewer with the impression that Rangers were the only contributor in Scottish football ever to suffer crowd fatality and injury, and everyone else are blameless and above reproach. @Soulsonic5791 comment on "petty point scoring" has more than a ring of truth about it. Then again, maybe it is just my paranoia on most of PQ's journalistic offerings on RFC in the last 10 years or so.
  14. This is a difficult one. Currently there are 7 different players nominated. It shows as well how diverse our views become, in a hard fought 1-0 victory with a rather nail biting ending. I would support the view that Hagi & Aribo played well and accordingly have the majority vote. I can also subscribe to substitute Alfie getting a shout, because for the short time he was on his hold up play was excellent. However, my vote goes to a defender. I thought Balogun was really solid at the back and could have grabbed a goal (or two), so he gets my vote!
  15. I couldn't agree more. Having gained the advantage, their next 2 kicks needed to be hit with power. Instead, they meekly side step them far too near to the keeper! The only positive in all this is Hazard seems to being lauded as some sort of saviour and hero. It has been quickly forgotten how dreadful he was at all 3 Hertz goals. I just prey there is no emergency plea to Southampton in January for Forster!
  16. Roofe for me as well, though Davis was a close second. Special mention for Hagi and Itten who made a real impact.
  17. I think he is a stick on to start in Perth. He does so much to link up play and make space for others. Also had a little mini break as well. He'll be refreshed and raring to go!
