I don't think we have the scouting network to do that. McParland and Warburton know English football so that's what we get.

which is shame. we could be paying over the odds (wages wise) for someone whose equivalent (in Belgium/Croatia etc) could be younger and hungrier to succeed!

Is it only me that is exasperated about the number of lower league inferior quality players we are being linked with, or has-beens with injury concerns, but again all coming from the English market.

 

There must be a whole host of decent (better than current players) centre halfs around Europe's equivalent leagues that would jump at the chance to come to Rangers. Are we even looking at the Polish, Swiss, Belgian, Croatian, etc leagues to see what is there?

 

Any time I see football from the English Championship downwards it is truly awful in terms of ability and skill, vastly overhyped and overpriced, yet this is the market we seem to be exclusively trying to work in.

 

Terribly insular for my liking.

I've often thought that myself. Why aren't we having a wee look at the Belgium or Croatian leagues! There's normally gems tobe found there!

Irrelevant??? Is he fishing?

No doubt he's hoping to start a bit of aggro, thus he can then have a moan about the big bad rangers supporters giving him abuse!

Mind you, maybe somebody should say He's irrelevant to Scottish Football

so what action does he face then if he doesn't turn up? What punishment do you get for contempt of parliament?

didn't lan Ferguson take over in one game?

"he expressed his dismay in an email exchange"... Then its simple, all he needs to do is show the Rangers board the emails and or his editor. Then the nasty stories will all go away!

I'd say there's more of a tradition of going for a pre-match dump but it doesn't suggest we should put up pictures of a jobby.

Just sitting at work here and I nearly spat my tea over the keyboard with that mental image!

so they will be relying on Agency staff?? oh well! That means they have to spend more money on hiring someone else to do his work! who knows maybe we'll get a balanced report

Nice to see Mr Whiyte, accompanied by his daughter (well she looks around that age).

Sometimes what you expect and what you get turns out to be the opposite...

 

When McCoist got the job my thoughts were he'd move towards attack because that's how he played.

 

Now Sir David the defender promotes attacking football.

That was my thoughts too! McCoist loved scoring goals so it was quite baffling to see him turn out that turgid pish. even worse when he continued it when we were in the bottom division.

still, it does seem that strikers who move into management seem to play defensive , whilst defenders seem to prefer attacking!

A guy stands up for himself and that's embarrassing?

 

Retaliation to assault is normal and therefore can be defended as self defence - and as was shown he had no other form of retribution or justice from the authorities. I've already explained in great detail at the time, for those who don't get it. But the point is that although his actions are understandable for those with empathy to the situation, they certainly weren't defended.

 

Contrast that innocuous punch and kick from Mohsni, to a non understandable, potential leg breaking tackle and a similar physical assault that Mohsni perpetrated, with kick and forearm to the neck/head on Oduwa, with no provocation or initial assault, which is then defended by his club.

 

I find it amazing that you find a punch and kick, in return for being shoved hard in the back, followed by being gang attacked as more embarrassing than firstly the criminal assaults on Mohsni by Motherwell players, but also compared to an Mohsni type of UNPROVOKED attack on one of our players.

 

The sad fact is that so do most of people in Scottish football. Our nation certainly has corrupted morals.

Retaliation.. He was in a stadium, with 22 guys on the pitch, subs, physios, coaches, stewards, police press and fans. if he felt he had been assaulted then he should of made a complaint. If he's on the street and its just him and his mates, then he can go right ahead and defend himself or subdue his attacker or whatever! Instead he went mental. And lets be honest Moshni had a bit of form himself with the occasional headbutts and hissy fits.

Moshni's actions were embarrassing to the club and there was no way we could defend it.

My issue is not with the idiot of a Livi manager but that Dallas was only 10 feet away in perfect view and should have taken disciplinary action and when booking the player for a second offence he would have got his just desserts.

Am pee-d off at standard of refs in Scotland.

This is true. The ref bottled it! the game is seconds old and he's probably thought "its too early to book someone"!

well there was always McCullochs elbows!

I think Frankie's right, we've got to remember he's a footballer, he's not a cultured fella and he's not the th brain of Britain. I tend to think you have to give him the benefit of the doubt. he's probably told his players to be rough and disrupt our flow of play. I don't think he would say to his players "!try and break his ankle that way you'll get sent off and there one threat will be eliminated" he was probably quite shocked himself but he's then put in that position where he must defend his player because that's what managers do, they try and protect their team. ferguson does it wenger "I didn't see the challenge" does it" its just one of those things.

Also we've had a fair few of our players in the past who have put the boot in. Hurlock on fulton, Cleland on Del Piero (off the top of my head). I cant remember being wild condemnation from our supporters to drive them out of the club.

Now that is funny

no screen shot (the thread has disappeared)?

Sounds like he could become a player coach or full time coach for the future?

I can't see that happening. There are some Rangers fans who absolutely hate him. He'll remain a legend in my eyes until such time there's evidence to suggest otherwise. Evidence of bringing Rangers into disrepute along with Whyte and Green etc.

and therein lies the problem.. as a footballer for us he gave his heart and soul and was a great ambassador for the club. Then we have his transition to management, where he plays some of the most insipid football out(a far cry from when we were going all out for nine in a row). Yes we had huge problems off the field but with the second biggest budget , we looked uninterested and out of shape. Why couldn't he see it, when all of us could. Then when the penny finally drops and he now knows that the regime that he once aligned himself too are crooks, he resigns only to be put on garden leave. I personally thought he was doing this to push the regime to breaking point ( after the Newcastle two came up and started making folk redundant) and make them do business with Dave King and then he would walk away with his head held high knowing that he had stuck it to the old regime.. instead he continued to take the money.. money that could of been reinvested into the team, the stadium or even those day to day staff that he once took a wage cut to look after.

And now his legacy is tainted(for now) ... unless he has a very good get out of jail card e.g. he couldn't walk away from "gardening leave wage" as its part of a case to sue the old regime or that he's going to donate it all back to the club. Until he talks ..its not looking good for him!

I wonder what kind of reception McCoist will get if he ever returns to Ibrox(either as a spectator or work ). I suspect it probably wont be good due to him continuing to take a wage, and generally playing pish poor football when he was in charge!

Hope that's real ! Would love to see him back !
