That's more like the humble determination that we need. Between King and Caxinha, we now have targets on our back following some of the more out there stuff that has been said.

 

I like Alves' style. I hope he delivers. I wouldn't mind if he was made captain either.

As I said some time back; there is an obvious solution. Make him the captain on the pitch and Wallace stays as Club Captain. It's been done before but I need someone to remind me who was involved?

Also, if he was so enamoured with Warburton, why did he not sign an extension in February?

Exactly, excellent point.

You know fine well hes a pro footballer---they are wee sensitive souls.

Managers either adapt or die(as to their treatment of them).They think the world owes them a living

Truth is---he wasnt very good,he wont be missed.(same as our current manager)

I think he was well capable of being a player in the no. 10 role, so being played out of position certainly didn't help.

BUT like many a footballer he thought he was better than he was and will find out the hard way in England.

Aye Ready!

I hope we're not expecting TOO much from him.

Should this be merged with the "Another UEFA Complaint" thread or am I missing something new here?

Bollocks.

I wasn't being treated the way any human being should be treated

Makes it sound like he was put in a concentration camp; not sent to train with the Under-20's.

He was never signing a new contact, that was obvious when he only signed a one year extension.

He was capable of so much more but was left out because he wasn't contributing to the team.

He'll certainly be remembered for that wonderful goal vs Celtic; but that apart he so often flattered to deceive.

All the best to him; but he should keep his mouth shut and get on with his new career.

Hi Bill, like you I sold my business and am now semi retired. However, I have a ST and follow wherever and whenever I can.

It's early days but as rbr says, be aware of the end of season dinner http://www.gersnetonline.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?86426-Revised-Poll-for-the-Date-of-the-6th-Gersnet-Dinner.

A good opportunity to meet fellow Bears in a convivial atmosphere.

Hello,

I am a big fan of the Rangers and i am visiting Glasgow each season.

It would be great if someone can arrange 3 tickets for the next old firm in March.

I can arrange four tickets for Dortmund- Bayern or Dortmund-Schalke (Bundesliga) on the yellow wall.

 

Can someone help me?

 

Best regards,

Sjoerd

 

Different costs price will be paid. No black sale.

Hi Sjoerd,

Because of the way the ground is configured, the fact that the entire Broomloan Stand is given over to Celtic fans, and there are about 36,000 season ticket holders; I don't think there is any general sale of tickets for an old firm game and if there is it would probably be restricted to one per person.

Therefore, one ticket might be just about possible, two would be well nigh impossible and three, well do you believe in miracles?

If you don't get them, consider coming for the Kilmarnock game on 17 March and then you can join us at the Gersnet Dinner after the match!

The thought of being the richest man in the cemetery has never been one that appealed to me.

 

Join the Accor loyalty scheme and you can get the Ibis for £86.

Thank you for the advice. albeit tinged with your usual sarcasm. You really can't help yourself, can you? I'm surprised you didn't find a way to link this to Ashley et al. You have no way of knowing anything about my finances and I'm sure you care even less. However, since you raise the subject, money has never been an object when I follow the Rangers, witness the £650 I just spent for 2 nights in Luxembourg. Your macabre comment is offensive AND totally baseless.

What IS important to me is a reasonable degree of comfort and value for money.

I am already a Platinum Member of Accor Hotels and see that the current members rate for that room with an additional bunk bed is £90.25 excluding breakfast. Not sure what I would do with the bunk bed. IBIS is the most basic of basic 2* hotels (the only hotel I've ever stayed in any category anywhere in the world which doesn't supply hand towels separate from a bath towel) and there is no way I am paying them £90 for a room that they usually sell for £25-£35, just because Rangers are in town; indeed the same room is going for £31.50 on the Sunday night. Quite apart from that it's 3.9km from the city centre and that's not where I want to be.

So thanks very much for the advice and enjoy your stay at the IBIS.

Depends on how you look after yourself.

 

Miller may not be everyone's cup of tea but at 37 no one can deny he's fit; played in more games [47] than any other player last season; was second top goalscorer on 14 and had 8 assists to boot. Again not wanting to reignite the Miller debate, just giving an example. And at the other end of the pitch of course there was Davy Weir.

Mmm half hour or so away Donny at a good time. Could get train to meadowhall from there right right and tram to stadium

Almost like being back in Europe then.

Rotherham is a good solution. Grab one there. Good transport links to Sheffield and only a few minutes. Manchester is an hour on a train or a nightmare drive

Several now sold out there as well and most of what is left is £100+; Doncaster perhaps?

Neismith is only 30. some are talking like he is 94. Strikers are normally at their peak between 26 to 32. The way some are talking over the social media you would think he will be taking to the field behind a zimmer frame.

Zlatan Ibrahimović is 35, not comparing, just saying......

She said they are awaiting a further allocation. Keep an eye on website. I didn't expect it either BH? Then again I don't know how much our initial allocation was?

I'm waiting on a couple of lads who I met in Leipzig confirming if they want to go with me.

The hotels in Sheffield are ridiculously expensive for the Saturday night (I'm wondering of some still think the game is on the Saturday) but there are cheaper alternatives in Rotherham and Manchester. I still haven't decided whether to do that and come back on Sunday or make it a Sunday/Monday trip (as I am in the fortunate position of not needing to be back for work on the Monday).

Anyone who is interested please PM.

Thanks for that, I'm still planning to go down on the Sunday back Monday but didn't expect a rush for tickets.

This is what they use in La Rosaleda

but most of it just goes down your neck; I doubt if any reaches the pitch, and even if it did it wouldn't stop play.

We could get Jim Craig to give his Lisbon lion dinner speech

He's a very nice man, used to have his dental practice next door to my offices.

But, but, but that's St Paddy's day. Surely that can't be right.

I didn't want to mention that in case I influenced the vote.

We can all dress up as leprechauns and wear green and white scarves for the day.

BD can get out his green balaclava.

We should be extremely relieved and thankful that we have not been charged with vandalising the Stade Josy Barthel in Luxembourg after Rangers fans damaged several seats and threw them on to the track (perhaps aimed at security guards) at the end of the match.

As the Returning Officer for the constituency of Gersnet, I hereby declare that the total number of votes cast for each DATE in the poll for the Date of the next OFFICIAL GERNSET DINNER is as follows:

• 10 March v Celtic 3 votes (17.65%)

• 17 March v Kilmarnock 8 votes (47.06%)

• 7 April v Dundee 6 votes (35.29%)

And that 17 March 2017 v Kilmarnock has been duly selected as the date of the 6th Official Gersnet Dinner.

The venue will be La Fiorentina Restaurant, 2 Paisley Rd W, Glasgow G51 1LE.

Further details to follow.

I'm not sure how he isn't saying that

 

"Why not cancel this poll and hold this event after the Celtic game" (conveniently the only one I could attend) OR

"Dispense with the poll and let Craig choose the date"

 

How else would someone take those if not trying to manipulate the date ?

 

Either way, as I said, I can't attend which is absolutely fine by me. Therefore I'm out.

Neither of the comments you have quoted indicate anything of the sort; they point to your stated preference nothing more and nothing less.

he didn't say you were manipulating the vote

come on

your just winding him up

Thanks for that, CS; I'm glad you can see it.

I stated my opinion that it was wrong for him to reveal the state of the vote because it might influence other voters; and now it's a federal issue?

I don't know what it is with Craig right now, but he seems to take every opportunity to try to wind me up with some very borderline comments.

I think Krankcjar is a player whose best days are well behind him. And Caixinha realises this & wants shot off him

Not if you believe anything Pedro says; he was positively drooling about Kranjcar's quality.

Perhaps the problem is that Kranjcar is far and away the best player and the most experienced international Pedro will have ever worked with and he's struggling to get the best out of him and/or build the team and tactics around him?

You're taking the whole thing too seriously. The dinner is meant to be a bit of fun. Accusing people of trying to influence the poll? Cmon.

 

I doubt most who voted care when it is. Most, like ourselves can probably make all the dates at this point., or don't know what their arrangements are this far out. It may even be the case that some who voted have no intention of and as such the result is skewed.

I agree I take organising the dinner seriously.

I certainly would be disappointed if some folk have voted but have no intention of going. I doubt that's the case unless they physically cannot attend on the chosen date.

17 votes cast is actually pretty good when you consider that out of the 47 people who have attended the past dinners, only 25 are/were members, one of whom is deceased and another barred, which also takes out his son. So 22 members who have attended in the past are eligible to vote and it looks like most have taken the opportunity to do so along with 2/3 possible newbies.

Now who's slighting the forum members?
