  1. don't get me wrong, he is a very good keeper and in an ideal world, we'd keep him. But we have other positions in the team that are far more crucial that we get right.
  2. i feel the lad has genuine talent. He has been the best midfielder in two OF games on the past 2 seasons. Hi has composure on the ball, good passing and seems to have a knack of being in the right posoition to receive a pass and deal with it immediately. I honestly think he will move on in the not too distant future. He'll fancy a crack at EPL and would get into a team like Fulham.
  3. McGregor is a good keeper, but i wouldn't be too distraught if he left. alexander would be a more than capable replacement for the SPL. We have bigger issues and priorities than our goalkeeping position - that's the least of our worries IMO. The goalkeeping position will take care of itself.
  4. wouldn't be surprised about McGregor to be honest. If his agents quotes are correct, he fancies another challenge away from SPL. IMO, Edu - maybe not before end Aug, but poss by Jan will be another to leave. I can't see him looking to stay here much longer in all honesty. we're just a stepping stone for him IMO.
  5. Mendes was always going to chase his WC dream by going back to Portugal. additionally - did people not see him the Sky Sports studio thing at the hamilton game. He kept referring to us as 'Rangers' as opposed to 'we'. Not surprised he's gone. shame to lose a creative player though. Don't know if I can stomach Thomson/McCulloch for the rest of the season !!!
  6. could have done a job for us if played in proper formation and proper position. Showed in the game in Stuttgart that he is as good a footballer as we have at the club. IMO, when he was on the ball, some of our players were not intelligent enough to make the necessary move for him. he pisses all over Lafferty and Naismith when it comes to the left sided position.
  7. yep - watched it on SKY+ last night when I got home. was it just me or did Mendes always refer to us a 'Rangers' - as opposed to 'we' ?? personally I think he'll leave - he'll want to cement his place in the Portgaul WC squad.
  8. this is the big problem with the lad. he does go missing for long spells. he is a decent player and has got some good things to his game - but the frustrating thing is that he simply does not show up enough. He plays like his personality at times - quite withdrawn and a wee bit shy. he's been needing to come fully out his shell for a long time now. He's at an age when he should be far more involved in the game than he his.
  9. i fully respect your point of view mate. However, it's the easy acceptance of mediocrity by some bears that worries me. Come on - we should be all over a team like Hamilton. That's 3 games in a row where we've really struggled to get to grips with it. Not good enough for me. Simpy not good enough. As I've mentioned, I genuinely believe that they are no better than the standard in League 2 in England. Now surely you'd expect Glasgow Rangers to beat a league 2 side fairly comfortably - even with some players missing ??! The sheer lack of cohesion and lack of ideas, pace and creativity is frightening. What ae they doing at Murray Park every day ??
  10. we were at the ame game mate - just have differing views on what we should expect. yes - our shooting was pretty poor last night IMO. Cerny made a few Hollywood saves IMO. Not once di I think Nove was going to finish to be honest. I still maintain that we should be far better than we were. Mendes is out, yes, but he's not been around for over 3 months - so no use in saying that we didn;t do well because he wasn't playing. And as for McCulloch - again - a performance where he did the minimum and offered very little. did he make a forward pass ??
  11. mendes hasn't played since October - Wilson filled Boogies boots. Boyd was probably the main miss - and yes, DMB would more than likely start. However - i repeat - this was Hamilton - a piss poor side who would be in England's lowest league. thought our touch, composure, passing, shooting was very poor last night - and in last few games generally. there was no fluency and virtually no cohesion. We should be offering far more than we have been. We're led to believe that we have great motivators in the coaching staff - where has that been recently ?
  12. Mate - this was Hamilton we were playing - Hamilton. They are awful and would struggle in League 2 in England. In the last 3 games against them we've sunk to a worrying low IMO. And - in terms if injuries - last night, only Boyd and Boogie (and maybe Mendes or DMB) would have been definite starters. 2 key players, yes - but in Wilson we had an adequate replacement. We should never use these type of excuses against the qualoity of opposition like Hamilton. Also, it tells you alot about a players character when they can't perform in front of small crowds and no atmosphere. where's the hunger, drive, determination to play for the jersey ?? Sorry - not a happy bear this morning. I just find our performances (outwith Dec) unacceptable. we can sit smug at the top of the table - which is great - but we should be concerned by many things on the park. we have alot of work to do.
  13. thought we were poor again. a very dull, tired affair with very little quailty. was bored out my face for most of the game. sorry, but we need a big kick up the arse. Last 3 performances - 4 if you include against the ****s have been shocking. Injuries or no injuries - we have to be better than that.
  14. i rember that as well. strolled through the game, looked very assured and comfortable on the ball, spraying passes etc. etc. the rest is history as they say !!
  15. From the off I have always said that Lafferty, McCulloch and Naismith were players we simply did not need to buy - and I stand by that 100%. These guys cost us around �£7m plus around �£2.5m a year in wages. In our position that is absolutely criminal !!!
  16. this could be tricky. If we can't get our act together against a pishy wee team like Hamilton then we're going to struggle gainst Hearts if we continue this dire set of performances. Much as I'm not a fan of McCulloch in any way shape or form - he should be played up front against Hearts.
  17. he'll probably do ok up here tbh. he certainly won't come up against the class of striker he's used to - nowhere near it. SPHell strikers are dire so a player like Senderos will have far less bombscare moments to deal with. That's the reason why players like Boogie shine in the SPHell - the forwards they are playing against pose very little threat compared to EPL and even Championship.
  18. unfortunately we did mate. if any so called Rangers fan says that he'd consider playing for them, then he's not a real Ger in my eyes. If he's a true bear, he'd never even think about it.
  19. i think plenty bears would though. Say St J got 5000 tickets and we got the rest we'd easily get 12k bears making the trip through there. But hey, it's hypothetical as the game's at Hampden
  20. i hear what you're saying mate, but in order to make it a more attractive event, IMO Tynecastel would have been a better venue. Hampden will only be filled to half its' capacity, whereas Tynecastle would be bursting at the seams with a real cup tie atmospehre filling the ground. It would be a bettro occassion for those at the game and those watching on TV. Also, Edinburgh isn't a million miles away.
  21. absolutely mate. He cannot keep being excused 'because he's still young'. He's at an age where he should be delivering. But IMO, he just will never deliever in a Rangers jersey. He's just not very good - and you can see from recent interviews and actions on and off the field that the guy does not have the right attitude to be a Ranger. I'd love if we sold him in this window. If we could get anything like �£1m, i'd bite your hand off. Smith needs to take responsibilty for this failed signing. Also, before he signed for us, didn't he say he'd play for either Rangers of Celtic ?? There's just something about the lad that irks me.
  22. I would have played this game at Tynecastle. It would have been packed to the rafters, there would have been a better atmosphere and there would have been more of a sense of occassion IMO. Instead, we're going to be rattling round Hampden with no atmposphere again and just going through the motions.
  23. I still reckon we'll struggle to get over 25k. Third game in less than 10 days against Hamilton, midweek (so less kids), cold, 3rd round, unattractive opposition, live on Sky.
  24. absolutely spot on. even if we did have money right now, the last man I'd want to be spending it would be Smith. He's had a hell of alot of money given to him to spend, but wasted a hell of alot of it ! IMO Lafferty will never come good for us - he's just not very good, simple as that. People go on about him being young., That's nonsense. Take James Milner as an example - same age, running rings round many sides in EPL, trains hard and is well respected by his fellow pros. Lafferty is the opposite of all that.
