  1. I wouldn't go as far with the insults, but agree with the sentiment. Maybe we just want to see what the likes of Balogun can offer.
  2. Rumours that we had to go cap in hand to Castore for funds to help complete the construction of another great board success, New Edmiston House. Hence Castore having us over a barrel and locking us down long term, before bait and switching the branding to Umbro. No real evidence to suggest this, but would be very on brand.
  3. Glad to see the youngsters get a chance. Don't think I'll bother with this one and just cut the grass instead.
  4. Absolute joke this, surprised no one talking about it. Lack of transparency for one a disgrace, almost spiv like. Being tied to the castore brand not a massive issue for me, but considering we are going to be tied to Umbro for the foreseeable.. yuk, who wears Umbro? No one. Yet another example of our clubs prestige slipping. Another success for the absolute cucks on our board.
  5. PSG look a very good side. Kvaratskhelia is an absolute joy to watch. I really like the team PSG have built. A few sold experienced pros, a few top drawer players and some really good youngsters. I really like Luis Enrique too. Went through some terrible personal tragedy when his daughter passed away. Would be happy to see him lift the trophy.
  6. Has only played 2 games or something, been injured most of the time. Hannover DoF said when they failed to win promotion they were only going to play guys who were going to be there next season. The boy is a waste, we either get rid int he summer or make him train with the B team. Send him here, there and everywhere. And if he gets injured give him minimal treatment. He wont be our problem soon enough. He might think its great rinsing us for 30k a week, but he is going into his last year and League 1 and 5k a week beckons after this unless he starts showing something.
  7. Pretty damming. You either want to give young lads a chance or not. The league was gone before it started and you can make 5 subs a game. Our club has no excuse. Jefte has had over 2500 league minutes, 4k+ minutes total this season for a 20-21 year old. Thats good going. Not sure why he has been overlooked for young player actually. I know his performances have dropped off recently but overall I think he has done well for a young lad who doesn't speak the language and has had to adapt to a new country.
  8. Thanks, Frankie will take note of it for your next pay review.
  9. Starts v Subs do you know? Watson seems to be on the bench often
  10. How much gametime have David Watson and Bobby Wales had this season? They don't seem to be playing often when i look at Killie's lineup?
  11. Great to see some young guys getting game time.
  12. If they manage to win a treble you cant complain about one of the rats winning it. Miller should get the young player award. Be interesting to see where he goes in the summer.
  13. From STV news (dont give them the hits): Dave King says the deal for an American consortium to take over Rangers has more than a “90% chance” of being completed, and it could happen next month. Health tycoon Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe,who leads the financial side of NFL team San Francisco 49ers, are aiming to take at least a 51% controlling stake in the club and travelled to Glasgow to tour Ibrox last week as they close in on a deal. Rangers’ single largest shareholder and the club’s former chairman holds just under 13% of its shares. He has only occasionally commented from the sidelines since stepping down as chairman five years ago. He believes the potential new ownership has the financial backing and the plan in place to improve the club’s fortunes after a spell that has seen rivals Celtic dominate the domestic competitions. King said in a radio interview that talks about selling his shares to Cavenagh and the 49ers had been ongoing for six months but that the deal was now entering the final stages. “The position as I see it now is that there’s a 90% probability that it will happen,” the businessman told TalkSport. “You know, these discussions are been going on for a long time. “About six months ago was the first time I chatted to Andrew to see if there was a basis of getting a deal done that would work for both parties and along the way with any negotiations like these, there were times where it was probably touch and go. “If you ask me where we are now in terms of legals being signed, in terms of the type of conditions precedent that still has to be fulfilled, I would certainly put it at above 90% right now.” The Scot, who is based in South Africa, said that finding the right people to take the club forward was “a legacy issue” for him and that he wouldn’t sell his shares to someone who he didn’t feel had the financial muscle to improve the club substantially. King said that it was clear the existing Ibrox hierarchy wasn’t capable or willing to put in the funds needed and that made him keen to talk to interested parties. “I did make a statement, I think probably around about last September or October, where the club was clearly in trouble, operationally, and financially, and at that time, I kind of made an open offer, you to come back, maybe spend two years to try and get the operational issues back on track, get the funding back on track, and in that time to try and find new new potential owners who could take the club forward “I think it was clear both within inside the club and outside the club, that directors had investment fatigue. And you certainly can’t keep running a club like Rangers with a kind of a cap-in-hand approach to funding every time you need a million quid or two. That wasn’t sustainable. And I think the fact that Rangers had fallen so far behind following [the 55th league title], I just felt the gap was too big to bridge, just looking at local investment from the directors. “So I started a project at that time to see if I could try and find someone who I could bring in, who was substantial, who could take the club forward and make sure it didn’t only have a football plan, but there was a financial plan behind it as well. Someone with deeper pockets, someone with sustainability in terms of funding.” King revealed that it was former Ibrox director Paul Murray who had introduced him to the Americans and said that they were “the real deal”. He revealed that as talks progressed, and after seeing proof that the investors could cover the “substantial figure” he believed it would take to not only buy the club but fund the rebuild over the next two years, he helped put together the plan to get the deal to the level of a takeover. “I gave them an estimate as to what I thought was required, which was fairly substantial,” he said. “We managed to get a meeting of minds on that, where through this combination of existing shareholders, selling their shares, plus a rights issue to put money into the club, then I feel that they’ve made the right level of commitment. “I’m comfortable enough to say to support us as a supporter, I strongly support this investment into the club.” King now feels that things are on track to be completed by the middle of next month and acknowledged that the work will then have to begin quickly to revamp the squad, and appoint a manager, ahead of the new season. “There are still a few things to be done,” he explained. “There’s a conditions precedent. There’s approval from various leagues, the SFA, the SPFL etc. “There’s still some conditions pressing that need done to get the deal across the line, and yes, they will be looking at what they will what they have to do because they will have to hit the ground running quite quickly,. There’s Champions League qualifiers coming up. “Let’s say that this deal realistically happens, say mid-June. I think May’s not possible. “Let’s say mid-June is realistic.”
  14. What's big Ralf Hassenhutl's thoughts on gay marriage? Where is this thread going? Like the Steven Gerrard express but with white smoke?
  15. What a game. Well done Inter. Really enjoyed that. Great football.
  16. Simpler solution, no more yahoos.
  17. I think he is right. He is not a man who makes wild claims. He has a track record of disrupting Belgian football, by enabling a 'nothing club' in the sense that USG were nowhere in Belgian football to challenge for the Belgian title for example. They are currently top. All he has to do is build a Hearts team that can beat the rest of the SPFL dross and they will compete for the title. Us and them you would think would take points from each other.
  18. If you think an American healthcare CEO is bad wait until you find out how dick dastardly across the city made his money..
  19. Don’t understand why people are so baffled / surprised by this. It’s so utterly on brand for the board.
  20. Our amazing board that are so stunning and brave disagree it seems. Utter cucks. https://t.co/yLJ8Rfxz97 We also acknowledge that the tifo displayed prior to kick-off crossed a line and was unacceptable. Our approach to supporter displays has always been built on trust, with the responsibility placed on groups to exercise good judgement. “We will reflect on how these displays are managed and engage with supporter groups to ensure the right balance of trust, responsibility and oversight is maintained moving forward.
