  1. Ally would play a blinder if he offered to accept shares in lieu of salary.
  2. Bruce certainly aint a top 10 manager, but I have a sneaky feeling Hull could get a wee 1-0 against a Utd who have nothing to play for and Newcastle draw with West Ham. Relegation might actually be the best thing to happen to Newcastle.
  3. Now, now Rab; only a cynical person would believe that his loans to politicians who were in a position to help him amounted to bribery and corruption. They were loans, you hear? Loans, to dear and close friends. Long term loans: very long term. A form of EBT, if you will.
  4. I'm not sure what the best part of this is; whether it's the fact that King has been passed F&P or whether it's just how badly Timmy is taking it. Probably the latter, if truth be told.
  5. Our away record is better than our home record, so I'd be more confident of getting a win away from Ibrox than at home. I think a draw would be an acceptable result as it would mean that Hibs have to come at us at Easter Road; what we really don't want is for us to lose at home and have to chase the game away, letting them pick us off on the break.
  6. Just off the phone to Real. I told them "gs says you can't win trophies with Ronaldo in your team making 22 Assists and scoring 58 goals, although you did win the Champions League and the Spanish cup when he scored fewer goals and made fewer assists and the Spanish League tile when he scored more goals with fewer assists." They said they'd get back to me once they'd worked that one out.
  7. 22 Assists this season compared to 15 last season and 12 the season before would indicate that he's becoming less and less greedy and more of a team player.
  8. Vuckic is the only player, apart from Wallace, who would have been good enough for our pre 2012 team - although, having said that, Nicky Law is starting to show flashes of what could be and I thought he was MoM on Sunday.
  9. This season he has had more assists as well as scoring more goals than ever before. How exactly is he not playing like he's in a team sport?
  10. So where does that leave the success they have had with Ronaldo in previous seasons?
  11. Your quote was "they can't win trophies with him in their team." Did you mean only this season? If so, what about the previous seasons when they have won trophies with him in the team?
  12. Apart from La Liga, the Spanish Cup and the Champions League?
  13. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-32753116 https://www.justgiving.com/Fund-For-Grim
  14. Are we obliged to give them any at all? If not, I'd give them somewhere between 0 and fuckall. If we are obliged to, we should only ever give the minimum allocation to those clubs who tried to destroy us 3 years ago.
  15. In my experience, it's fairly widespread. I've been called a Tartan Tory (???!!!) and a closet Unionist ( 2 x ???!!!) by some of the more mental tims, purely on the basis that I'm a Rangers fan, whilst these same people will only ever vote Labour (a unionist party with Tory-lite policies). Like some of our own, the more deranged Tims cannot believe a Rangers fan can be SNP, left-wing and anti-royalist and they genuinely seem to think that anything I say on any of these subjects is some kind of trap I'm setting for them. If Carling did hypocrisy, they'd put a shamrock on the can. At least our lunatic fringe is honest in their lunacy.
  16. tend to agree with the first paragraph. This whole situation comes largely from Timmy wanting to neutralise the greatest chant in Football, which they have managed to do because we were, as usual, to dumb to play smart. All we needed to do was change one word and it would have been fine; but, oh no, not us. FWIW, I also think our resident hibee has been very balanced in his contribution.
  17. Ashley stood to make millions from us through his contracts but If he is asking for his money back it's either done out of spite or because he fears losing it. Now, why would that be? Could there be a revelation that would make his contracts null and void?
  18. Of course no one is asking for conviction - since no crime was committed, but the hard of thinking are calling for all manner of sundry punishments, sacking, expulsion, suspension and whatever else that embarrassment of an email was asking for. The SNP released a statement saying that O'Hara apologised for the use of the term, which was made some years ago and noted that the football landscape had developed considerably since and that he wouldn't use the term nowadays. This witch hunt about the use of a term 8 years ago which may or may not have been intended in a sectarian fashion (and all the evidence, or lack thereof indicates it was not intended as a sectarian slur) is utterly pathetic and embarrassing.
  19. I can certainly see why you Tories want to abolish the Human Rights Act since it is a basic human right not to be punished for something which wasn't illegal when you did it.
  20. Well the Galloway and Reid were in the same Better Together bed, so I suspect not. Once you've lain with dogs, it's best not to check too closely for fleas. As for this email - pathetic, illiterate and embarrassing.
  21. I'd take both or either of them back in a heartbeat. I know their wages would be an issue, but if we offered them 5 year deals at a lower wage, I wonder if they'd bite.
  22. Simplistic I know, but I want Hull to stay up for the sakes of Jelavic and Aluko and Newcastle to get relegated so that the poor buggers at least have a chance of starting to get their club back.
  23. So much of attending games has to do with habit - and once the habit is broken, it's hard to get back into it. When you have a season ticket, you just go to games. You don't think about it. the game's on; you go. Simple as that. But if you don't have a season ticket and have to think about forking out every time, arranging lifts or driving through on your own the hassel factor rises and it's more difficult to make the effort. That's why the damage that the previous bunch of con-artists and crooks was so serious and long lasting. We will have permanently lost thousands of fans after the boycott and it will take time and success to get the next generation to come.
  24. I don't do shrewd predictions; I do stabs in the dark and lucky guesses. So in the spirit of the new Conservative age, I say, let's all be selfish bastards and go for an immoral rule change. You know it makes sense
