    I watched Filth this week. Enjoyed it but could have done without Zappa's spoilers

    If we keep Simonsen to 'warm the bench' yet try to sell one of our only decent players (Wallace), something is very wrong.

    The only interesting thing about this is if it is a joke. Why are we wasting resources on him? I couldn't care less where he is with his fitness and badges. As long as he gets a laugh with Jig and Ally then off for nandos and a few pints who cares eh/

    I sometimes wonder if I am in Imagination Land (South Park anyone?). Some fans seem to have a bizarre view of things which just doesn't relate to reality. Nobody in any sort of responsibility in a high level corporate environment should be talking about physical violence. I'm frankly confused why I need to say this? Yes all of us hate Whyte and would not be upset to see the man happen upon adverse consequences, but people in positions of responsbility in an institution like ours have to act with a degree of decorum.

    Thanks, that makes sense. Ever since being repulsed by Leggat's blogs years ago I have avoided all bloggers but on the rarity that I come across his nonsense, it doesn't seem to have come from someone with any real involvement in football.

    In our case that price is often a big fat zero, and if it is of monetary value then it is very low. Bar a few standouts as I mentioned previously.

    I would be interesting in you providing some quotes because I struggle to think of many examples of this ever happening. Possibly a 'not or sale' with a huge BUT at the end...

    This is something that has annoyed me for years and has always been very prevalent. I can't recall us ever saying a player was not for sale. Murray frequently said 'every player has their price'. The most notable example that made me cringe was when Daniel Cousin was attracting some interest and Martin Bain quite happily publicised the player's release clause. That was hardly going to decrease the chance of losing the player. The tims on the other chance always seem to do their best to play down talk of their players leaving, and are always able to get decent cash for their players. We're lucky if we get a fee. Case in point when they got almost £2m for Craig Beattie who was utter dross. We pay off players like that. I'm sure Celtic are just as open as us to selling their players for decent money but they do it in a much more intelligent fashion. The only times we have generated good money for players in recent years is when they have been absolute standouts like Cuellar, Boumson, Hutton and Ferguson whereby no amount of incompetence would stop a decent bid coming in from England. To be honest, every single PR comment that comes out of our club makes me cringe and this has been the case for possibly a decade. Everything is just embarrassing and ill advised. Remember Ally a few years ago saying he didn't no if he had a contract or not? Come on to fuck....

    Aside from being someone I have no interest in ever reading, I recently realised he was Mo Johnston's agent. Did anyone else not realise this? Perhaps gives him a little more substance. Though I will continue to avoid reading the sort of nonsense his types put up online.

    There's been a succession of heinous characters that have done ill to our club in recent years. There comes a point where we have to stop playing the victim and get a bit of self respect, dignity and and character back at the club. You seem to think administration/liquidation was all down to the bank and Whyte. Ignoring the fact that we as a club financially misspent for well over a decade.
  11. Ser Barristan Selmy
    Seems to always be someone else's fault.
  12. Ser Barristan Selmy
    We may as well chuck it if we are ever to consider not having our own stadium and decent training facility.

    The Championship is much better than the SPL. The SPL is more like league 2 if anything. We can do a lot better than Calderwood and Keegan was last successful about 15 years ago. Keegan wasn't great to begin with and was very poor tactically. The days of all out attack 4-4-2 are long gone. It's a bit like Hoddle, I've no idea why mediocre managers get their names randomly put forward for jobs after years out the game. That said, obviously Calderwood and Keegan would be far better than Ally.
  14. Ser Barristan Selmy
    No, the rules quite clearly state 25 points. I don't think us going into admin again is remotely fantasy. It wouldn't surprise me one bit.
  15. Ser Barristan Selmy
    Don't know how anyone can seriously use the word 'scaremongering' given all what has happened. Unbelievable.
  16. Ser Barristan Selmy
    Some fans just still can't see the wood for the trees.
  17. Ser Barristan Selmy
    I think he did actually mean Malcolm Murray. That makes more sense because I've seen bugger all lately from Dodgy 'if it gets bad I'll save the day' Dave.
  18. Ser Barristan Selmy
    Messed up at the end? We were a financial meltdown on at least 2 separate occasions for the best part of 10 years. It became clear to me and others right from the early 00's that the man was an utter incompetent disgrace. He brought us some great players up until 02/03 yes, but it was all on the supporters and bank's cash. From 03/04 onwards the vast majority of our teams and signings have been terrible.
  19. Ser Barristan Selmy
    Having Ally in charge is pretty much the last thing I want at the moment. He is basically the antithesis of a good modern day football manager.
  20. Ser Barristan Selmy
    Would imagine McCall and McInnes would be on a quarter of McCoist's new wages, at a push.
  21. Ser Barristan Selmy
    He's been paid up the rest of his contract. He's pocketed something like £200k on top of the salary he's already earned. I think leaving with an extra £400k would be pushing it even for him.
  22. Ser Barristan Selmy
    Getting rid of someone so dire as Stockbridge only proves that Wallace has some sense about him. I don't think it proves he's the real deal. He still has everything to prove.
  23. Ser Barristan Selmy
    Those that officially represent us don't represent my Rangers. At the moment we are Rangers in name only.
  24. Ser Barristan Selmy
    Just because PLG failed, it doesn't mean we shouldn't go the foreign route again. The fact PLG now manages Oman tells its own story. We unfortunately got a manager who looked great but simply wasn't. There's a reason the vast majority of managers in the BPL are foreign, there's a reason why foreign nations are far more advanced and there's also a reason why foreign countries have far more top grade coaches than the UK. It's pie in the sky stuff though. We can barely pass the ball two yards and have no infrastructure whatsoever. The foreign approach is just a dream. Getting someone in like McInnes who can start getting the basics right would be a start. Even if he did fail in England.

    Smith and McCoist think the sun shines out of Murray's arse.
