Right I'm being a numpty but I give in - who is GDS?

i am not sure green has the guts or know how to sack him.

Oh I think you are wrong on that one!! I don't think CG has ever shirked a decision like that in his walk of life.

I had big concerns during the summer when Ally was 'firefighting' to keep the place afloat that he would get too close to the players during that time, and when it came time to create the required 'gap' between a manager and his players again that he wouldn't be that figure of authority that the players were scared to cross. I don't think there is any fear or trepidation in the players when they put in performaces like that.

Still the question is would they be willing?

Numan definite yes. 100%. Laudrup - I would say he would also jump at the chance to get into coaching and what an ideal apprenticeship getting us out of Div3. We can forget the big cups this year. I can't see us getting anything from Motherwell. Templeton was the only player capable of creating anything.

And IIRC Greig had a win over Juventus to his credit;wish AM could say the same.

Also lead us as the first club to win in European club competition at PSV's Philips Stadion

"We don't do walking away."Maybe it's time now to consider just who are the candidates to manage us. I can only think of one - Derek McInnes but I fear we will have to wait till Bristol sack him.

Artur Numan did a great job with Holland U-21 and he would jump at the chance. He could get us out of Div3 no problem and pick up the required experience over the next couple of years. Also give Laudrup a role with the youngsters and as assistant coach?

I am swiftly entering into the same camp

 

 

Not good enough and when that is the case it is time to go.

 

And I HATE feeling like that about a true Gers legend.

Being a legend never stopped John Greig being hounded at as manager when his time was up as you probably know. Ally should do the honourable thing before he suffers the same fate as JG with fans chanting outside the main door for him to go.

There was a lot simpler than a HMRC conspiracy. One of Celtic's Directors around that time was also a Director in the Bank of England and was aware of HMRC's developing position on EBTs. Some EBT users didn't want to take a chance on a battle with HMRC and paid up, others felt confident in their legal advice and didn't.

Fair enough. Thats logical.

While the OP may be a little far fetched, the fact that some of us still can't accept that this is an organised attempt by the darkside to destroy our club is quite frankly unbelievable.

Agreed. But while we are on the subject of far fetched the bitchy head in the sand response I got actually suggested that my response could in some way endanger any potential internal HMRC investigation. Oh the irony.

That's one of the resaons we have been shafted for years i.e. this "oh lets stop getting carried away, nobody is out to get us" attitude. Well the reality is they are and will stop at nothing in the process!!

Please.

 

This kind of half-assed, backward looking nonsense does Rangers no favours at all. If you were looking to kill the chance of any investigation into HMRC leaking, the surest way to do it is to wrap the whole idea up in some Kafflik Konspiracy package.

ooooohhhh hark at her!!! Run out of oatabix this morning sweetheart?

And one other thing Ally knows too as plenty of them drink in EK as the same venues Ally frequents.

"In 2008, after becoming aware there was a potential tax liability related to EBTs, Celtic reached an agreement to pay a sum to HMRC."

Payment made in 2005, and in 2008 you 'become aware' of HMRC liability. Could this be round about the time that certain HMRC staff were openly 'becoming aware' that something big was about to go down at Rangers.

It's a renowned bead rattling organisation as I know plenty who hold positions in there. The Knights of St Columbus Club in Blantyre will vouch for that!

Surely the Sellik weren't tipped off by Holy Mary's Roman Corruption? Too much conspiracy? Don't be so sure. I know the nature of the Bheast in question.

Keevins has used this whole article to get the point across that "we have bigger crowds because our admission is cheaper" because like every other Selik man he can't stand the fact that even from way down in the depths of Div3 we can still get one over on them. Also the fact that he was proved sadly wrong when he predicted we would be playing to paltry crowds if we went to Div3 (did this journalistic icon not know that the prices were cheaper when he made that bold prediction or is the reference to admission costs scraping the barrell?).

I don't mean to rain on our parade 'cos I'm loving the whole atmosphere at Ibrox etc these days as well as the next guy, but this will be way tougher than most people think. Even with a much stronger squad in the past we had to work more often than not to get the win. The brilliant atmosphere at home won't buy us that win. Our defence needs to bond very quickly 'cos 3rd division players are running through us with worrying regularity. Still think we should do it but it will NOT be a cakewalk as some suggest.

On a positive note I got a lot of hope out of wee DT's display on Sunday. I had no idea the wee man was just as skillful. When he came in off the touchline into a more free role just behind big Lee he was immense.

jig the midfielder rules jig out the team altogether for crying out loud!

Does it? You'd better let the manager know then.

they can see the whole game in front of them and every player on the pitch.

So, tell me the great goalkeeping captains you base this on?

we have no one else. i have never been a fan of strikers being captains that rules out jig. jig and neil aside, we have no one else.

Does that rule out Jig the midfielder, or Jig the makeshift central defender when we have injuries at the back? Your case for goalkeepers making good captains is based on what?

McCulloch is the Jerome Rothen of the left midfield area, the Egil Ostenstad of strikers and the Boab Malcolm of holding players.

Your obvious hatred (jealousy? wish I was him?) attitude towards Jig leaves your arguement lacking in any credibility. But when did skill and amount of goals scored etc come into play when choosing a Rangers captain? Wasn't the greatest ever Ranger our greatest ever captain also - John Greig? Skillfull? Prolific? Did Davie Weir in more recent times have those attributes? Your arguement doesn't stand up. Oh fuck this doplimacy - you are clueless as to the history as to what makes a Rangers captain. End of.

alexander. he is the only choice.

And why is he the only choice?

Got to be Jig. Did you see him run half the length of the park last week to give Alexander a rollicking for dribbling round the guy. It's got to be someone who can dish it out to anyone in the team if they are slacking. Can you see Black giving Jig a bollicking? Nothing wrong with having a second in command if Jig isn't playing. But its GOT to be him.

Sorry guys - but who is Scott Burns?

I'm trying to get tickets for my son and his mate for Sunday. Can anybody tell me the best way to do it. If I do it on line there is no way they will be delivered on time. Can you book online and pick up at the ground before the game?

it will noise up the tims to some tune and those in our support who said we dont need one so for that reason alone, i am happy, delighted in fact.

I think it would be nostalgic to see one again, but apart from that I don't see it doing a roaring trade. To say it will noise up our own supporters who said we don't need one is a bit off the mark. Do you genuinely believe any Bear looking at a Rangers shop will be annoyed? Doubt it mate.

an airport site? hahaha yippee. outstanding!

I'm genuinely interested as I've seen the quote a number of times from various posters. What does an airport store actually give other than 'good to look at on the way to wherever', and 'they've got one and it's annoying for travellers to always see their stuff but not ours'? Is there more to it than that that I'm not thinking about?

Is that you Graham?

 

You're a lying toerag and have been from birth, now f@ck off and suck Peters cock, that's what you do best.

 

If this is not you Graham apologies, but you're still wrong.

Oh right - OK! FFS - if your brains were dynamite you'd struggle to blow your nose mate.
