  1. Yep, Prawg Rawk will do that to you. Thumping Pumping Horney Horns Loyal RSC.
  2. Rangers B drew Wrexham in the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup four-five years past and battered the leeks three-zip at Ibrox. How times change.
  3. Seems fair, particularly since the rest of the team having been carrying Sam for the first half of the season.
  4. Fairs Cup, September'70. We lost 0-1 to Bayern in most controversial circumstances. The Ref' awarded an indirect free kick, Gerd Muller struck the ball into the net without anyone else touching it. Thus, no goal; however, the Ref' awarded a goal.
  5. Two further German internationals I remember were Gunter Netzer and Pierre Littbarski.
  6. Where does Oor Frankie find the time? Truly an East Lothian renaissance man. Tour Guide to be added to unicyclist, juggler, sword swallower, fire eater, plate spinner, eater of the boiled ham raw, gigolo and, goalkeeper.
  7. Similar, attended home(2-2) and away(1-1). If Kris Boyd had buried that chance in Spain, we would have deservedly progressed. Riquelme was a player, particularly in the first leg. In my time, Beckenbauer graced the Ibrox turf on three occasions, Gerd Muller too and, Paul Breitner. Johan Cruyff was special but my favourite was Valencia's Mario Kempes. The Argentine was the last opposition player I remember being deservedly rewarded with an Ibrox round of applause after scoring a wonder goal? We had drawn 1-1 away in Spain and the half time score at Ibrox was the same. Kempes scored two second half goals to secure a 1-3 victory.
  8. There appears to be a mixture of consternation and angst present. I voted Butland and would do so again. I believe truly big players arrive and make a telling contribution. Going into the last 15 minutes of the first half and the game sitting at nil-nil, a fantastic through ball from Killie split our central defenders. Vassell's first touch took him across Soutar, his second saw him stride clear into our box. Butland's reaction was to time his approach and remain big. The keeper deflected the ball out and saved Rangers from going one down at a point where we had only achieved a single snap shot on target. Ridvan played very well yesterday but in my opinion the telling contribution came from Jack Butland. Ridvan was awarded the sponsor's man of the match thus he received a bit of Turkish Delight.
  9. Reference the VAR team releasing one particular photo' still purporting Sima to be offside. Last evening, I watched the PLZ Soccer take on events. Peter Martin set up PLZ(Peter, Lyndsay and, Zoe - himself, wife and, daughter) a decade past. Essentially, it is another Sellik Vlog in a most crowded market. Peter Martin grasped the offside lifeline but, he revealed 'the still' was only released to Sky. Rangers have requested the audio of the VAR team - Referee discussion. I do not believe Chief Executive of the SFA, Iain Maxwell will allow the release because Peter Lawwell will not want it released. There is a growing stench of cover up.
  10. The Sima offside call came 35 minutes after the incident, it was deliberate interference. The unanimous half time claim by all pundits that Rangers were denied a clear penalty meant a lifeline was necessary. The Sima offside call was the lifeline and, across the broadcast and print media they have grasped it for dear life. The penalty to Rangers must survive and the frame above showing Sima not being offside will be ignored because it is not helpful. Going forward, Clement will be ridiculed because he has spoken out.
  11. Apologies for the tardiness of reply. The wife called me to the table to consume left over Cote de Boeuf immersed in a shallot and red wine jus. A culinary triumph of presentation over content, particularly when accompanied by a red Burgundy. Rangers mirrored the content, a lack of quality was superseded by a sauce of questionable refereeing. The decision in question was unanimously decried by all the panelists working for both BBC Scotland and Sky. Thus, Tom English, Pat Bonner, Lee Anne Chricton, James McFadden, Neil Lennon, Kris Boyd, ....... etc all declared penalty and as a consequence the already cautioned Johnston should have been the recipient of a second yellow card. Sellik know the value of seizing and maintaining control of the narrative. There is an offside call in the build up to the deliberate punching of the ball out of play but, that is not why a penalty was not awarded. VAR only checks for offside if there is a consequence ie a goal. The VAR check ruled out the penalty within thirty seconds. The time line is important because it took thirty minutes to find the possible offside and decide it was THE narrative. Clearly, Johnston punches the ball out thus, the worst Rangers should have received was a corner kick. VAR cannot acknowledge the hand to ball because then, it has to accept it is a penalty. VAR confirmed the Ref's decision to award a bye kick. Neither VAR nor the match officials awarded an offside free kick to ra Sellik.
  12. Andy McGowan is spot on. It was 15 minutes into the second half and over thirty minutes since the hand ball incident that Sky clutched at the offside straw. Mike Conroy, former Referee and Sellik man has already decreed the VAR team would not have looked at the offside element unless a goal had been scored. Willie Collum was on VAR and he has a family. Collum awarded our last league penalty at Sellik Park in 2010 and he and his family received death threats that weekend. Two months later, the Refs went on strike because of constant inTIMidation from one club.
  13. Producers, particularly Senior Producers. Producers dictate who appears on radio/screen. Kevin Kelly's daughter, Clare has been a long term Senior Producer at BBC Scotland. Billy McNeill's son has been a long term Senior Producer at Sky.
  14. Anyone else worried about complacency? In his sixteen games in charge, the Gaffer has appeared most practical. There is a growing concern this being his first experience of ra Yahoos he will continue his practicality. You know we go 3 or 4 up before half time and during the break Philippe's pragmatic approach sees him make three changes to rest players before Killie's visit to Ibrox on Wednesday. I appeal Clement waits to the hour mark after Tav' has converted our penalty to go five ahead before he rings the changes.
  15. Here in deepest, darkest Lanarkshire we put considerable effort into worship of the cloven one to achieve the 55. Ah mean, we sacrificed a number of horned goats; after they had been fully utilised for recreational purposes. Beelzebub demands such obedience.
  16. Clement has managed to navigate the team into the position where two out of the three possible results at ra Stade de Gadd suit Rangers.
  17. Liam is a supporter of Aberdeen. Both his old man and brother, Rory are Sellik men. Fifteen years past, Rory was a serving senior Police Officer in Grampian and was exposed on the red tops front pages for his social media content. Rory regularly posted vile quips about the Ibrox Disaster. We cannot visit the sins of the father and brother on Liam but, we are all products of our conditioning.
  18. The Aberdeen - Motherwell game has just been called off too. The moon howlers will be hard at work, figuring how this piece of information fits into the grand Masonic jigsaw? Time to sacrifice another goat.
  19. Ah, the fickle finger of pernicious Masonic influence points the eased way for Rangers immediate future. All together now, let the moon howling begin ............................
