Seeing Beattie in recent times, he looks alot fitter and leaner. Our fitnes training must be pretty poor. But it's consistent with the rest of our 'training and development', in that we're not very good at it and players struggle to do the basics well. As we're clearly not working on our touch, control, composure, passing, awareness and overall technique, then what chance does our fitness development stand ??
-
I'm probably exaggerating a wee bit mate. In saying that, given a proper run in the team, Beattie would have offered more than Lafferty IMO, which wouldn't be hard. Gave the Chelsea defence a few problems last night in the air and on the ground. his ball set up Blackpool goal.
-
not being funny, but what has Durrant been paid to do for the past few years ?? other than just sit there with Smith in the stand during games, for me he contributes nothing of any real worth. Please Ally - don't be a Walter clone !!
-
totally underwhelmed by this news. the threat he offers is absolutely minimal. he was an absolutley atroscious signing by Smith. i'd rather we sent him on loan to Blackpool instead of Beattie !!
-
I said that at the beginning mate. Maybe McKay's plan all along was to unsettle Rangers and aid the taigs with this move. I'd love to listen into the conversations between McKay and Diouf to be honest. As a taig, McKay will have absolutely NO interest in helping Rangers. The whole Diouf deal is a strange one to me - and one that could provide pivotal in the destination of the league title. Has Walter been duped and bitten off more than he can chew ?? I hope not - for all our sakes.
-
same as always unfortunately mate. sadly, we are not dealing with normal people here.

Murray is an intelligent lad. Did and Accountancy degree years back I remember. I bumped into him in The Garage in Glasgow about 15 years ago and had a good chat with him. Comes across well and is quite methodical analytical in his football discussions. Ally must see something in him. We certainly need to freshen things up and have a new mentality of looking for players. Bomber Brown spotted Cuellar, but to be honest, if I was given money to fly around Europe attending games,with the brief of getting in a player who will shine in the SPHell, I'd spot a decent player now and again !! Time will tell on these two appointments.
-
personally I'm quite underwhelmed by this news, but with everything I guess we have to see how it pans out .
-
on official site now. Murray is Head Scout. Bomber will help in search for players. I take it we've just bought the latest 'Championship Manager' for the PC ??!!

our perfomance will have to be upped massively if we are to take anything from this game. I'm quite pessimistic - as it'll be a usual Walter defensive anti-fotball display with one lone striker completely isolated about 50 yards from the rest of his team mates. We got away with it in Lisbon against a very poor Sporting side. PSV will be slicker, quicker and more clinical IMO. They will also have the backing of a packed stadium and boisterous home support. I've been over there before and they make a hell of a racket to drive their team on. Head is saying 2-0 PSV

St Mirren 0 - 1 Rangers: Player Ratings and MoM Poll
MoodyBlue replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
agreed - he is a typicl number 10 and needs to be played there regularly to get the best out of him. I'm just concened about his basics at the moment - touch, control, passing, composure, awreness nowhere near as good as it can be/should be. when he cam on the scene the thing that struck me about him was his gtreat awareness touch, composure and the ability to make great linking passes. Ok, yesterday everyone was awful, but he had a real nightmare. Fitness up to scratch ? I'm not sure, but he has to start getting back his technique - it's what his game is all about and what made him stand out above the rest at an early age. -
St Mirren 0 - 1 Rangers: Player Ratings and MoM Poll
MoodyBlue replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
agreed mate - it is a two way thing. player has responsibility as well. just feel he's never been played in the correct position. i just hope that this is not another young player who looked to have good technique early on but loses it and just becomes another run of tyhe mill SPL player. -
St Mirren 0 - 1 Rangers: Player Ratings and MoM Poll
MoodyBlue replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
dire performance. I'd give it to Bartley though. What have we done to John Fleck ? Composure, touch, control, awareness used to be his strengths. yesterday, everything about his performance was shocking. Another young player where we've sucked out any genuine talent and technique ?? Looks terrible. -
Super Ally chant needs to start being louder and more prominent
MoodyBlue replied to MoodyBlue's topic in Rangers Chat
nice one mate. That was a great day out. One of the best trips over past 20 years. Youtube is disabled at my work, so I might take you up on the idea and send the Gersnet possy round here !! -
Super Ally chant needs to start being louder and more prominent
MoodyBlue replied to MoodyBlue's topic in Rangers Chat
can't view youtube at work mate - what is it ?? TBB ? to be honest - ANYTHING would have done yesterday - the Rangers support that I knew has definitely changed. No way would we have been as quiet as that 15-20 years ago, or more. We're challenging for the title with everything to play for yet yesterday we could hardly muster a single song. Dreadful. -
Super Ally chant needs to start being louder and more prominent
MoodyBlue replied to MoodyBlue's topic in Rangers Chat
were we on some self imposed singing ban yesterday bears ?? atmos was absolutely dire and everybody sat on there erse doing nothing. I know it was another dreadful performance but to virtually sing no songs was terrible. We were behind the goal and at the beginning we assumed we'd be standing - but as usual we got tyhe "sit down, we can't see" brigade moaning on. Cue 90 minutes of utter silence from the bears. That was dreadful bears - and does absolutely NOTHING to help the players. As for the Super Ally chants that I wanted, I tried to start one ealry doors but hardley anyone joined in. After all that went on in the week, the least we could have done is shown our support for McCoist. Oh, and we play like that on Thursday we're looking at certain defeat. Will be so predictable, with Diouf or Healy up on their own, 50 yards away from any Rangers player !! Come on Rangers - let's get our act together on the picth and in the stands !!! -
starting Sunday. let's back our man to the hilt bears !!!
-
That's what I don't get mate. I'd love to know what McKay says to Diouf about all that's going/gone on. As a lover of the taigs he must be enjoying this surely ? His client getting loads ot coverage and his team are using the Diouf signing as a motivation..
-
have we heard anything from Diouf's agent/representative - the infamous Willie McKay ?? I'll back Diouf while he's here - but let's not forget he won't be here after May. Was it his taig loving agents plan all along to bring Diouf to SPL to unsettle Rangers and aid the tims ?? I'd wouldn't put anything past that wee khunt !!!!!
-
so is the Birmingham v Villa clash going to come under similar scrutiny ?? Last time they player there was a huge picth invasion, fans throwing missiles and flares being thrown at each other. not to mention running battle outside the ground and in city centre. OTT response to this OF fxture, which is just adding to the tension. Next two games against them will be bedlam - but I genuinely believe the 'authorities' will want this, 'to prove a point'.
-
Fuck of Charlie you thick shit
-
they didn't even need a keeper last night - and their defence were on the cigars all match. That is totally unacceptable. We approached the game like we did with Manure and Barcelona FFS !!! shocking dispaly - AGAIN. Smith is accountable for this mess !!!! Step aside Walter - your time is more than up !
-
IMO a half fit Edu is more useful than McCulloch. The lad Hutton would also be fine. This is Hearts - not Barca mate. I'd have every confidence in Hutton if selected - he could more than handle himself and he has the talent and intelligence to deal with it. But we all know Walter will stick with McCulloch - and that is my big concern.
-
Edu would be fine. We've got to get out of this mindset that we will get run over if we don't have McCulloch in the side. More often than not it's McCulloch who is being by-passed during games. He rarely, if ever, stamps his authority on a game. Any combination of Ness, Hutton, Edu would be absolutely fiine IMO.
-
more solid midfield and a defence that won't sit as deep without Weir. Up front we'd have some panache and guile that would outfox any defence in the SPL. For me it's time to take McCulloch and Weir out the side.
