  1. Making the right choice is a hiding to nothing. Remember the rising stars that were Adkins and McDermott? What of Brendan Rogers now?
  2. I agree with that, Steve, but Barce did say you need good flesh round the spine. You are spot on about Scott and Stevenson. Imagine being a defender run breathless by Scott then wee Wullie comes on to destroy you. On that particular team and Barce's theory I would just mention Ritchie, McKinnon and Millar.
  3. 4 - 0 to the Arsenal. HRH the Duke of Cambridge looking sick as a parrot.
  4. Bit harsh on the Villa. They did manage a euro-cup win.
  5. Who do you want to win the effy cup? Two clubs of braw pedigree though Villa have been well off the pace for decades now. Arsenal for me, fellow aristocrats of British football.
  6. Black to PNE? Sir Tom Finney'll be birlin' in his grave.
  7. Ally Scott tried his best and scored one or two. Just wasn't a very good player.
  8. I never expected DA to take the job full time. I'm surprised he took it even on a temporary basis. They need a makem style Souness.
  9. So, gs, Motherwell v Partick Thistle and indeed Aberdeen v Dundee - no point in these fixtures is there? The answer is simple. Rangers play celtic thirty one matches a season or better still until one team has sixteen wins and then we can all go to the pictures or the beach or wherever else we want to be bored.
  10. "There would be hundreds of meaningless games." - gs And there we have it. The attitude of journos and the modern fan. If your team is not going to win the competition it's not worth it. But every single match is a competition. Can your team beat that shower from Aberfermlinenock on a Saturday afternoon? Old fashioned and from journos' point of view boring outlook but why else watch WBA v Stoke for example.
  11. Not the best footballer I ever saw in the blue though better than many gave him credit for but the most versatile and definitely the greatest Ranger. Anyone beat this for all round achievement? Selected at full back, wing half and inside forward (right and left in all the positions) as well as centre half and temporary, acting centre forward. Didn't play on the wing but surged up the touchline when required. Very well deserved honour.
  12. DA offered the management at Sunderland fulltime. He'll decide next week.
  13. No accident. The start of it all was a concerted campaign by some adherents of celtic in the mid to late years of niar. Every post match 'phone-in had somebody, reasonably articulate, not the usual Brendan, who would even offer some praise for the football played by Rangers but always a more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger reference to the awful songs "coming from the other end". Drip, drip drip. It worked.
  14. Working at my desk - yes, on the Sabbath and I'm not a Minister - with the radio commentary on, reconciled to a win over the Hibs and runners-up position when the commentary guy (Mitchell?) droning on but suddenly screeched: "and Rangers have won the leaugue, Motherwell have scored!" Then within minutes news of 'Well's second. Can't tell you much about the rest of the day.
  15. I expect the likes of Pulis could have had Hull safe in upper mid table. I think Bruce is living on his playing days reputation just loke another manager we know of. I expect both Hull and Newcastle to win on Saturday so good bye, Tigers. Famous names languishing in the basement - Magpies, Villa and Sunderland.
  16. Never mind the team, the manager, the Stadium, the finance, the corporate structures etc., when is King going to make Ibrox a drum free zone?
  17. I don't see Steve Bruce as a top ten manager but they could bring off a freak win over United. Much good it will do them because I don't see the Hammers hammering the Magpies.
  18. These callers are surely actors hired by King to make shelteec supporters look stupid, naw?
  19. As I said elsewhere: "The Resurrection took three days. DK doesn't have that much power at his disposal. He's going to need time. I'll take a long term strategy over a quick fix."
  20. DK was a remote operator in the Murray/Whyte era. In an ideal world he would have taken a bigger role but that shouldn't be held against him now that he is taking charge and there seems to be some pretty able people around him. As for the Hibs games - it's not his fault if Rangers lose. The Resurrection took three days. DK doesn't have that much power at his disposal. He's going to need time. I'll take a long term strategy over a quick fix.
