  1. Death, signing former players and asking whether Jelavic is eligible for Europe.
  2. Is it just me that doesn't give a shit about "SPFL rules"? We'd be asked to give our reason for banning them, and then they in turn would be duty bound to investigate. It might just open a big can of worms. When Murray banned them, it was because they damaged a few seats. I think we now have more than enough reason to ban them given their recent "exuberance". The difference between the Rangers and Celtic support has been remarkable over the last year. Look at the displays. Our wonderful, purely football-related displays celebrating our shared love of our club. And then the tims, all they have is "Hun scum", obscure references to the IRA, and effigies.
  3. Rugby League and cycling. You have my commiserations.
  4. Don't worry gents, I am sure the greatest fans in the world will behave impeccably.
  5. Again, disingenuous in the extreme. Don't make me compare their respective trophy counts.
  6. We should be aiming at going into the next OF game unbeaten, and then turning them over at Ibrox. I'm sure the collective morale of the Rangers support would be very different should that transpire.
  7. All very true. I am convinced there is a sizeable section of the Rangers support that can't comprehend why we aren't up there with the Barcelonas and Real Madrids.
  8. There's not many Rangers players you could say were personally responsible for a good handful of trophies. But you could certainly say that of Barry Ferguson. Between 1998 and 2002 I wouldn't have replaced him for any central midfielder in Europe.
  9. That's a little disingenuous. He dragged us to the title in 2002-03 against one of the greatest ever Celtic sides.
  10. I don't think I ever really understood some Rangers fans' antagonism towards Barry Ferguson. Is it to do with him leaving us in 2003 to chance his arm down south? He was an absolute Rolls Royce of a footballer.
  11. McLeish out-trophied The Blessed Martin during his time at Ibrox, so should be awarded a level of respect from Rangers fans. But this is 2016. In Warbs we trust.
  12. Not a hell of a lot, but it doesn't refute the point that he needs more time. He needs a string of 90 minute games before we know what he can do for us. For what it's worth, he scored at Parkhead and had Aberdeen riled at Pittodrie. Almost impossible to judge him on a 20-30 minute cameo here and there. It's the price we paid for him that gets me. 1.6m is a shedload of money for us these days. You would have thought we'd fork that out on someone to build the team around.
  13. See Zelalem got a game for Arsenal last night.
  14. I have nothing against Nicky Law. He actually carried himself very well while at the club, was never a problem and seemed to enjoy being a part of it. But I suspect he's found his level now at Bradford.
  15. The Record, once the go-to source for Scottish football news, is nothing more than a disreputable, discredited rag these days. Anything printed in it means the square root of hee-haw. I'll wait for the club's statement.
  16. LOL. There will be Rangers fans calling for Walter after he's dead. "Aye, but big Davie Weir can move his arms."
  17. They should just call it 'The Nicky Law era'. It was truly harrowing.
  18. I am guessing this survey is well past its sell by date?
  19. Perhaps. In the manager's defence, we've been on the bad end of a series of 'honest mistakes' this season. So I can understand his frustration.
  20. Now there's one right out of left field. Would he have come?
  21. While you may in time be proved right, I don't see how anyone can make such a statement after two months.
  22. I have to laugh at the tims and their "Warburton's pyoor lost it, he's cracking under the presshur" nonsense. No, he isn't. My source being every interview he gives to the media.
  23. Barton is basically a man child. But in fairness to Warburton, if ever there was a time in Joey Barton's career to take a punt on him it was the summer. After the way he led Burnley to the EPL, he genuinely seemed to have turned a corner. It was always a risky signing, but one worth taking IMO, even if it hasn't paid off. You win some, you lose some. In a parallel universe, Gascoigne got binned by Rangers after 5 games and Barton became a club legend. A Joey Barton without demons would've been a huge player for us in our current situation.
  24. I made the mistake of flirting with FF when we went down to the Third Division. It was all "nae bother troops, only four years and the European nights will be back." We are surely among the greatest supports in world football, but perspective and patience have never been among our virtues.
  25. You make some fair points, and the issue of his budget v other sides is perfectly pertinent. I just think he should be given a couple more transfer windows - as I said previously, some of the best managers in the world have made a pig's arse of transfer windows. Of all the situations in Scottish football, I'm not sure any can compare to the trauma we are trying to recover from. If anything wasn't going to be a quick fix, it's the situation we've found ourselves in. I think where a lot of my faith in Warburton stems from is the change when he took over. After the car crash of McCoist, and latterly McCall, he was a breath of fresh air and seemed to give the club the boot up the arse it so sorely needed. Now he's in a different phase with different challenges. Is the jury out? Yes. Do I think he's the man for the current situation? Yes, I do.
