RTC as in....Rangers Tax Case site ?? :disgusted: Can't say I have ever had the misfortune to find myself tempted to go on that rabid cesspit.

Lacoste is incomparable. It might be popular with chavs but it's still high end decent gear that will always be stylish. Hence why they can keep the polo shirts at £60 rrp and it retails in the top designer shops and websites. Umbro has always been a bottom end shite football brand. Nike and Adidas have always been the stylish brands. Adidas and Nike (at least for trainers) are generally stylish leisure wear brands. I have a lot of Adidas trainers, tracksuit tops etc but never in my life would I ever dream of wearing anything with Umbro on it other than our kits. Adidas have very stylish marketing campaigns endorsed by the likes of Run DMC and Ian Brown that will always hold it in high regard. Above all else, with Adidas and Nike you are guaranteed wide exposure with their top marketing and global shops. Umbro are bottom of the barrel cheap rubbish but FFS at least we don't have DIADORA anymore *facepalm*

We never stand up to them

So you don't think Chelsea's Adidas kit this year is nice? Or Barca's home Nike kit? (Every Barca top looks awesome)

Adidas and Nike are pretty much the only decent brands for football tops.

Umbro was possibly cutting edge fashion 40 years ago but it's dire now.

I think it's great to have someone with real financial muscle getting involved who has done well in football.

If we were to play superior football the likely conclusion is we would perform better not to an inferior level. It's basic logic. There is some backward idea in Scottish football if we try to attack and play positively, somehow we are guaranteed to get a negative outcome. The most successful sides in Europe are the ones that keep the most possession and have the highest accuracy to their passing. Nobody ever won the champions league packing 10 men behind the ball and hammering long ball after long ball. I really can't believe I'm having to bother pointing out such common sense. If playing the short passing game is some sort of barrier to success, I wonder why all the teams worth watching across Europe adopt this philosophy.

Arsenal's net expenditure is far lower than many teams in the Premiership and they consistently finish above sides that have spent more.

The same Arsenal who consistently finish in the top 4, play in the Champions league and compete at the highest level on a very low net expenditure compared to other premiership clubs? Playing the long ball has never been a long term strategy to success. Playing football the correct way vastly increases your chance of success. One thing follows the other. If you look at the sides that were successful in all the big trophies, tournaments, leagues etc, you will find that they were generally sides that can keep possession and display sufficient technique to be successful. The teams that play negative, horrific football usually end up falling flat. Like us 9/10 in Europe and like the UK national sides. Maybe if we started playing better football we would have won more than something like 1 of our last 22 games in Europe.

He looked very poor but it wasn't helped by consistently being played out of position to no gain. What is it with our manager's tenancies to stick players horrificly out of position to the detriment of the team? McLeish, Smith and McCoist all love to do it again and again. Seems to be another backward Scottish (and perhaps British) trait. They all just want to be as negative as possible and cram as many defenders into the team as humanly possible.

I can answer that for you.

As usual we'll win more than not, play atrociously, and more excuses will be pedalled blaming the pitch/quality of opposition/lack of pre-season/Ally not getting the his right brand of cereal that morning. Most don't care about rank football as long as we score one more than the opposition, but don't you worry, when said rank football leads to us not scoring 1 more than the opposition, the gloves will eventually come off.

Yes, this does our support's reputation a lot of good. Looks like it was written by a 12 year old.

He only had 12 months left on his contract. This is obviously a quality signing but Man Utd still have a terrible midfield.

Apart from the odd game like Porto at Ibrox in 04/05 Ferguson was pretty dire in his second spell, particularly given he was a constant standout in his first spell. Though it probably had more to do with team mates and coaching than anything else. By the end he just seemed to contribute virtually nothing. Yet ironically looked like his former self in the premiership.

The sides that can keep possession and pass the ball accurately are the ones that tend to win all the big games and trophies across Europe. Playing turgid, shite football may win you some success in the short term but the big teams across Europe will never play it. The British game (including England) is so far behind the rest in terms of attitude and methods and it's backward beliefs such as yours that holds it back. Did you see England in the Euro's this season? Their poor football got them to the quarters as usual but then they got outclassed by a superior side that played much better possession based football. I imagine you are the same sort who wonders why we keep getting embarrassed in Europe by the likes of Malmo, Unirea and Maribor despite often winning the SPL. Focusing on skilful technique and general passing does not guarantee success but in the long term, the sides that deploy it will be the more successful ones.

Anyone would be better than McCoist. Our management is one area we should be prepared to pay handsomely as well.

He has never demonstrated anything to suggest he is a good coach or manager. His tactics are abysmal as is his general choice of signings. He's starting to remind of McLeish. It's sad we have so many people in this country with no interest of playing football the correct way. I can only hope that the current Sky Sports generation of kids grow up watching La Liga, Bundesliga etc and we see approaches changing. Scottish football is 30 years behind everyone else and the likes of Smith, McCoist and McLeish are right at the heart of it. Smith, however, knew the Scottish game backwards and more often than not knew how to get 3 points, even if the football was at times excruciating.

I have held my tongue but after our performance this weekend it's become clear to me that McCoist has no interest in playing good football, or anything resembling it. All I can dream of is a future where we have a philosophy at our club that focuses on attacking football and short passing, the way it once was. The pre-emptive excuse pedalled for the likely shite football this season was bad pitches, dirty challenges and dire football played against us but Peterhead played it fair and square, better football than we did, and the pitch was fine. The fact McCoist still has us playing 3 at the back speaks volumes. 3 at the back might work for Marcelo Bielsa but McCoist is no such genius tactician. 3 at the back and big Jig and Kevin Kyle up top :disgusted::disgusted::disgusted::disgusted:

Sheep fans on my facebook are raging like fuck about this. They thought we were dead yet we are vastly outspending them, signing far superior players and we have more players picked for Scotland with a manager that despises us

Do you guys do a league for the official FA one? I'll start one if you don't. My team at the moment is Szezesny, Mertesacker, Harte, Dawson, Hazard, Ramires, Kagawa, Toure, Tevez, Torres, Cisse

Really

Says it all

Full of sheep that site. The banter is terrible as well. It's like Ground Hog Day on there.
