  1. Ah yes, the "world class" David Marshall. Norwich you say?
  2. I've done a wee spot of lurking this evening, and quite a few of the chimps aren't best pleased with 'Big Bad John' over this. It'll only benefit one team, that's for sure.
  3. His team as well. Supposedly
  4. And would you argue with him?
  5. Merely more wallpaper for the dressing room. The Peter Grant School of Diplomacy is evidently still in business.
  6. No worries. I don't think anyone's 100% negative or positive - as far as the players are concerned, most of my posts are pretty supportive (or they were until Wednesday). Smith's just one part of the club, albeit a big part.
  7. With respect, I've heard this sort of thing a few times since joining this board and it's nothing more than a myth, this notion that the anti-Smith brigade get some sort of smug satisfaction from seeing Rangers get beat. Nothing could be further from the truth. The anti-Smith brigade are anti-Smith for no other reason than they want Rangers to be more successful than they are at present. It's far easier to label somebody as some sort of crank than try and work out why they hold the sentiments they do.
  8. I do think Smith has aged well. He also has better hair than Strachan :cheers:
  9. Could they not have beaten them last week instead
  10. FT tims oot :cheers:
  11. Hesselink misses a(nother) sitter
  12. Begg: "He'll [Richmond] be public enemy number one if Celtic come back from this"
  13. Mehmet penalty. Charlie Richmond gives McManus a yellow card after preventing a clear goal-scoring opportunity. David Begg says he's "astonished" it's only a yellow.
  14. Not that I'd ever want to be seen coming to Murray's defence, but to what extent is this simply Record shit-stirring? Are Rangers the only company, indeed football club, to have laid off staff in the last few months? Kicking Rangers (again) to sell papers per chance?
  15. What would encourage open debate is if you would stop accusing people of twisting things, lying, arrogance or being in a cult every time they say something you don't agree with. Just my opinion of course.
  16. None taken. The fact is, with the exception of the Dundee Utd game where we at least had a go and lost a couple of goals due to defensive errors, the games mentioned represent classic Smith point-dropping. In Kaunas, Smith played Dailly, McCulloch and Adam across the middle and attempted to see out a 1-1 draw. St Mirren was a game where we created a number of good chances, unfortunately Boyd only came on with 20 minutes remaining having been dropped for an off-form and thoroughly ineffective Darcheville. Aberdeen away was an absolute disgrace. One up front and playing for the draw against any SPL side, let alone a non-OF outfit, is unacceptable from a Rangers manager. Boyd again sacrificed for a woeful Miller. And to rub it in the home side had an off day that day. For Celtic away, see above. A complete lack of ambition against a Celtic side on the ropes and there for the taking. Massive opportunity missed in a crucial season. Eck's sides created more chances during the dark days of 7-in-a-row. We Deserve Better indeed. And as for Inverness, that's what happens when you retain a manager years past his sell-by date. You may be getting sick of the Smith arguments, but it's one of the most pertinent debates to Rangers' present and future.
  17. Now that really is Sense over Sectarianism.
  18. But don't dare criticise Walter.
  19. Forgot about the internationals, are they this month? I sit just me or do we often lose the week before international weekend? How annoying. I'm sure St Mirren beat us before a Scotland game.
  20. Foxtrot . Actually no, the bouncy while singing The Billy Boys.
  21. As I understand it that was simply moving the debt to MIH. Most fans didn't want to purchase shares because Murray would remain the majority shareholder and continue to do as he pleased. Added to the huge overdraft he has run up, Murray has effectively made the club unbuyable, nobody in their right mind will want to purchase a club in huge debt and pay for his shares. That's not irony. That's just ignoring the fact that Murray's steadfast refusal to defend anyone but himself has resulted in Rangers fans being portrayed as the big bad bigots in the mhedia and treated like lepers in the country at large. And then saying something about the Queen. OK, so we've not been on a downward spiral and we've not improved. Which, presumably, means we're the same as we were 10 years ago, right? Take a look at the season review videos of 98/99 and 99/00 and tell me we're at the same level. The Uefa Cup Final simply cannot be allowed to wipe out 10 seasons of mediocrity (and two last-gasp title wins to paper over the cracks). I agree that bringing in PLG was a positive. Unfortunately the day Murray took a player's side over the manager was the day he lost all authority as chairman. As for Smith, you know my thoughts.
  22. Welcome Craig
  23. What has Murray done in the last ten years to make you think he can guarantee us any of the above? Firstly, you, me, and everyone else on this board are shite on Murray�s shoe so he certainly won�t be getting any support from me. Secondly, a change of chief executive is pointless because Murray has shown time and again that he only works with Murray men. FFS why do you think we lost the most talented chief executive in the country to Hearts? Bain�s in the CEO�s office for the exact same reason Smith is in the dugout. Are you denying the last decade has seen us embark on a downward spiral? In what areas have we improved? Where is the evidence that Murray will turn it all around in the next 10 years? You support Murray and that�s your opinion, but I have to ask you - Just what are the positive things you think Murray has done for Rangers since Advocaat left?
  24. Push Murray over the edge? I will dance on his grave.
