The Real PapaBear

You mean the chap who fouled him thrice in the first ten minutes without even a look from the ref? The animal who was laughing all the game at us, because the ref ignored him till late on? Rest assured, had Black done anything similar, he'd been off after 10 mins at the latest.

I mean the chap who dominated, intimidated and bullied Black for 90 mins. Call him an animal if you like, but he's what a *real* midfield enforcer looks like.

He slows the game to walking pace and allows the opposition all the time in the world to regroup. No coincidence we have upped the tempo in the last 2 games.

His free kicks are abysmal - either can't clear the first man or they hang in the air so long that it makes it impossible to do anything with them.

For a so-called tackler his tackling is very poor.

He never penetrates the opposition with runs or decent balls in behind them.

His Holywood long balls out to the wings put the winger under so much pressure as the ball is in the air for so long.

Before anyone jumps on the bandwagon - this is nothing to do with Ian Black the person. He is just a very very mediocre player in my mind.

he was exposed for the fraud he is when he came up against Scot Brown in the LCSF.

Well in Amy.

but she hasn't been beaten up by Collymore, so she probbaly is.

I would give him another 1 year contract, but heavily weighted towards performance related payment - something I would introduce throughout the club from after the egm.

BREAKING: Parma has been dissolved (or automatically relegated). Each game scheduled now against them is auto 0-3.

bloody hell - they used to be a formidable outfit. Mind you, they're probably saying the same about us

Once upon a time I got a row from somebody for calling these people knuckledraggers. Forget who it was, I'm sure it'll come back to me

Actually, that's a fair point.

Let's ban any man found guilty of wife beating from TV and radio permanently. No irony, I'm being serious. And, since it was Stanley's idea, let's start with him.

The question that has not yet been asked, and it has perhaps not been asked because it is so blindingly obvious, is why is this degenerate clown even on radio or TV anyway?

Anyone who is able to suffer his braying Brummie whine for any length of time (and if you can, you're a better man than I) will be left in no doubt that he is noth there for his analytical skills, which are, at best, bland.

This, let us never forget, is a practicioner of domestic violence, a man who batters women - the lowest form of life other than a child abuser.

The fact that he is also an adulterer and a sexual degenerate is no reason for him not to present a sports show, but they sure as hell are reasons for keeping his mouth shut on any topic of morality.

"Give me a child until he is seven and I will show you the man,"

yes, and we all know where that comes from.

COTF! this is the longest 10 minutes of my life!

RST Response to Stan Collymore

 

Sadly, like so many commentators of his type, he knows Rangers are currently a soft target and acts accordingly. Mr Collymore of course has a history of cowardly attacks on those he doesn't think can defend themselves.

 

now, that's sweet

thanks for that post ian1964, in view of which I think it only fair to revise my description of collymore as a sexually perverted, woman-beater. A description of him as an adulterous, woman-beating, sexual pervert would be more apt.

is this the sexually perverted, woman beating Stan Collymore or another one?

He essentially said in an interview about his finances (very rare that a ex-manager says something like that, but he did) that he could work for free if required, as he has no need for any money. He'd obviously take money if he was offered a job in Qatar or the like, but he would not squeeze any more from an empty vessel like e.g. our "company". We will see soon enough what he takes up from any job at Ibrox, if he choses to accept one.

Is there any indication in the German press about why he would be interested? This is a guy who has done and won just about everything in the game - why get involved with us? He has no Scottish connection as far as I can see.

is it just me, or does anyone else have the Benny Hill theme tune running through their heads?

the odds on Magath are pretty short - the bookies must know something

Would have thought he's one of the most senior of senior journos for them, yet we still get all the Yahoo cover ups and liquidated club stuff from his fellow reporters and him as well. Has he ever written a word about the Yahoo city council stuff? Just asking. For any good journo doesn't have it just one way or taking the easy option, much like he did since 2011/12. Kudos to him for all the investigative stuff he highlights about our board, but there it essentially ends.

Reporters don't get to decide what appears or doesn't appear in the newspaper; editors do that. Also, he's a sports reporter, not on the crime desk.

Making comparisons between the Scottish and English leagues is pointless. The only way any sort of equilibrium can be restored is if Sky go bust, most analysts agree they've paid too much for the rights so it's not impossible but is unlikely. In the meantime hundreds of small Scottish boys are starting to support English club sides instead of Scottish ones. We'll become Ireland within a generation as things stand.

 

The only way to make Scottish football more attractive is to make it more competitive. That involves spreading the little money there is around more evenly. Those currently with the money don't want to do that. Then some imagination is required and there's precious little of that around in Scottish football. I've come to believe that we're the last generation of Scottish club fans.

said it before and I'll say it again, a 50/50 split at the gate is the way to go. It allows smaller clubs to develop youth systems which in turn improves the entire game.

brilliant - simply brilliant

everton didn't have a shot on target.

 

he's about as effective as a fly buzzing round a cow's arsehole.

oddly, that's the same image that comes to mind when I think of Naismith. Except the flies. Or the cow.

The young Bears look shaken by their experience at Lennoxtown, They were brutalised by some vermin wearing a Septic top, so here is replica of the instrument of your torture to remember it. PR disaster imo

 

If they had any class (stop laughing at the back!) they would have given the kids Rangers tops.

The Celtic PR wagon have certainly worked overtime on this one.

Well, Celtic had three choices here:

a) a public appeal for the thug to hand himself in or for his mates to shop him

b) a reward to catch the thug

c) a photo-op to make themselves look good

which one do you think they chose?

The only surprise is that they didn't make a statement about being all inclusive for 127 unbroken years while they were at it

Sorry to see you might consider my post as a bit of a piss take because generally I consider your posts to be some of the most informed on the forum. furthermore, as one of the other posters has observed I have been a member for quite a while.

 

It seemed to me that there was considerable negativity regarding the five loanees from Newcastle which I thought in certain respects was misplaced. I see them as potentially helping Rangers obtain promotion to the Premiership next year. The longer we stay in the championship the greater the losses we will run up, the more funding we need and the less that will therefore be available to rebuild the team. Given that even Dave King doesn't have bottomless pockets I see remaining in the present league as detrimental to the club.

In a normal world would we want to see five loanees foisted on a manager without his agreement. No, we would not. However, these are not normal times; as was seen in the game against Celtic, and lots of other teams, the team is poor, K. McD. is merely keeping a seat warm for some new incumbent and therefore pragmatically I saw this as an opportunity to enhance the chance of Rangers being promoted, though this will ultimately depend on the quality of the five players. In response to critics who suggested that Ashley is now running the complete show, in reality he already did and I don't think these player loans materially affect that position. As an aside here, I don't think Ashley from a business point of view wants us to remain in the Championship and that gave him an incentive to sanction the loans. He may have other reasons for the player loans but on that matter I think we have to wait and see.

Now, do I want Ashley to remain in charge. No, because I believe he sees the club purely as a vehicle to further his business interests and I think as fans and I hope Dave King and the 3 bears see it as more than that.

Andy, this guy rips the piss in an inventive way and uses language like a skilled swordsmith - I mean, really; "foisted"? Who, apart from you would ever use the word "foisted" and then follow it up with "incumbant" "pragmatic" and "enhanced".

No way this guy is from the tribe of Timothy. Only a real Bear could write with such verbose pathos.

T1K, welcome - there are those of us who enjoy a good writer in these parts; reckon you'll fit right in.
