    You mean the sixteen people surveyed might not be representative? Never mind, the great and the good got their names in lights again so it must have been a worthwhile exercise.

    If today is a sign of what's to come from Miller then we should be praying for someone to take him off our hands in exchange for money ... Or a player swap.

    One of the problems with one year deals is that they very often get you no more than six months and compromise sell on value.

    Surely either let the guy go or get his signature on a three year deal. What's the point of a onevyear contract for someone of Sasa's age?
  5. maineflyer
    A very fair point ... and he certainly should have.

    Aye, about the same time as the flying pigs of Tobermory win University Challenge. Change our destiny, did you just get carried away there or just finding the words hard to come by? Good laugh though.:devil:

    You're right but I imagine he's keen to reflect the opinions of the fans too.

    I know what I'd like to see done to death.:grin:

    Durrant couldn't rule out paper and is the last place to look for insightful comment.

    Leggat is already doing more than most. We could better direct criticism at those who do nothing but might be expected to do most. Look closer to home.

    Miller - wish he'd just bugger off now if I'm honest

    Then I've no idea what you are saying. Murray is to blame but cut out the blame game. Enforce change when we're in absolutely no position to do so and almost universally refused to lift a finger in protest when Murray was still in a position to be influenced by it. Debate about possible replacements for what reason? - to create mood music in the background while the club disintegrates? Perhaps it's time for the late great RST to make a comeback to complete the sense of pointlessness. Jeez!

    Except of course that our transfer dealings were equally inept before the bank issue arose.

    What you're actually saying (rightly) is that, despite the greatest crisis to hit the club in modern times, nothing has actually changed, including the man at the root of this crisis, David Murray. Nor is there any sign of anything changing in future. In fact, as the crisis inevitably deepens, so does the disrespect in which the support appears to be held by those owning and running the club. It's important to acknowledge that this is not a situation created by the fans and is hardly the climate in which you should be abandoning what you call the blame game. It may sound mature and constructive to do so but I say again, this isn't a problem of our making and I'm damned if I'm going to absolve Murray or those who have allowed him to destroy what far better men and women built over generations. I blame the bastard right enough, totally, and there will be no forgetting or forgiving from this direction.

    Agreed, very interesting proposition. I think we should just put you in charge and show these mealy mouthed SFA types how to make real changes.

    Murray told everyone where he stood with respect to Rangers when he failed to attend the recent memorial service to those who died in 1971. Without doubt, Murray buying the club was the worst thing to happen to Rangers in nearly 140 years. What good men and women build out of commitment and goodwill, Murray has singlehandedly dismantled in twenty years of self-promotion and inept management.

    I wish this guy had a newspaper to publish his articles but judging by the number of bheasts leaving moronic comments on his blog he's certainly being noticed by some......... Saturday, 8 January 2011 DALLAS WITCH HUNT? DID I just blink and miss something? Has Henry McLeish suddenly taken over the Scottish Football Association? For right now*the SFA is slap bang in the middle of the sort of muddle which cost McLeish his job as Scotland's first minister. Remember? A muddle, not a fiddle, was the McLeish whine as he got the boot. Well, if what is happening at the SFA is not a fiddle, then it is most certainly, at best, a muddle. For it would be no surprise to find that there are many out there, who value the virtue of fair play, who may just be starting to believe that Hugh Dallas is the victim of a witch hunt. And if they do come around to forming such a view then the question they will be asking is just who it is who has been doing the witch hunting? The facts as they are .....five SFA employees, including Dallas, were investigated for an email which was said by some to be in poor taste. Peter Kearney, the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland's mouthpiece, then weighed in with the claim that it showed sectarianism was rife within the SFA. Dallas and the other four were sacked. Four, including Dallas, launched an appeal. All, except Dallas, now have their jobs back. Before the email row blew up we were told that the then newly installed SFA chief executive Stewart Regan wanted referee*Dougie McDonald's head on a plate after the penalty row when Dundee United lost to Celtic. Assistant referee Craven, who was involved, then lashed out at Dallas, and quit. There followed a series of leaks about the referees' department at the SFA, with some claims so outlandish they are not worth repeating. Regan was said to be less than happy that Dallas defended McDonald, and that the referees' committee were so lenient with the whistler. Thus, some people may conclude, when the email details were leaked - by whom? - in the wake of Craven quitting, that*Regan saw his chance. The timing will lead some*to this perception. The SFA, by giving the three others who appealed, their jobs back, have created a real and present danger that*some will gain*the perception the real target was Dallas... and Dallas alone. *And that there was a witch hunt against the most respected referee Scotland has given UEFA and FIFA for decades. At the moment Dallas is keeping his powder dry as his options - and those of the SFA - narrow. The chance for the SFA to give him back his job, along with the other three, has now gone. The only option remaining for the SFA is to offer Dallas a bumper payment - hush money - with a confidentiality clause - a gag. Dallas would surely insist that any such deal bound the SFA to continue to back him as a senior official at UEFA - and possibly even FIFA in the future. The Dallas options are that he could accept such a sweetheart deal, or he could fight to clear his name, and have his day in court. Such an option carries the danger that he could lose. Regardless of the rights and wrongs. Remember those clowns in the jury which found for Tommy Sheridan when the liar*he sued the News of the World? That injustice has been righted and Sheridan faces years in the slammer for his lies. No doubt Dallas, a highly intelligent man, is getting the best legal advice money can buy, plus advice from other world renown former referees throughout the world. In the end, though, the decision will rest with him. Will he take the risk?* Is*he is brave enough to drag through the court those who many believe, by their actions in giving three of the four who appealed, their jobs back, now stand accused of a witch hunt against Dallas. A muddle? Or a fiddle? Oh dear, we're back to old 'Enery McLeish again. And that's never good news.

    We've seen countless young 'stars' arrive at the club over the years and I doubt if any of them have ever made an impact. If they want to fill places then ffs find young Scots, instead of letting them slip through our fingers only to pursue them years later when some other club has put a price on their head.

    What the f*** is the point of this? The youngster will never play for Rangers so why bother?
  21. maineflyer
    True enough :blush:
  22. maineflyer
    OK but I didn't want to be the one who mentioned Dark Minge-Wallet:D
  23. maineflyer
    I find it both hypocritical and pathetic but certainly not surprising. The RST is the symbolic embodiment of the emasculation of the once-proud Rangers support ..... mired in trivia and unable to move much beyond self-interest. The RST should have been shut down in shame long ago but it will shuffle on as long as there are people willing to be flattered by position.

    Perhaps it's also down to acute loss of national identity. Before we had political parties handing out parliaments and others barking for independence we actually had a far stronger sense of who we are. You struggle to see Scottish football on tv in Scotland - you can see any amount of English or Spanish football but the clear message being sent out is that our football is of no interest to anyone. Football is no longer identified with the nation, Scots people identify the country more with tennis or snooker than with football. Most people are followers, tell them our football is shite and that's what they'll believe. The game has been abandoned to the TA arseholes and petty media twats like Chick Young.

    I didn't know that. As you say, it just gets better and better.
