Spain 1 - 0 France Netherlands 1 - 2 England JOKER

The one thing I see as a major positive is that we have a decent manager. I have repeatedly said that we need to be realistic and give him time. If that is a transitional season without any tangible success, so be it. As long as you see younger players bedding in and improving. Many say it isn't realistic to expect such patience.

Remember the summer (Wednes)days of going to the newsagent at Haymarket station and buying a Rangers News. Then looking at the pictures of Jardine, McLean, Johnstone and MacDonald running in pre-season. An article about how Davie Cooper had played tennis throughout the summer and was ready to hit the ground running.

"...a lot..." One would have been a start. I could get on the happy clappers bus who believe that clubs are queuing up to bid 7M for Goldson. That we are in a position to demand top dollar for our players. Players with lucrative contracts who will happily run out the door for less. Clement has repeatedly made the point of how important the pre season is wrt to players fitness and resistance to picking up injuries. It would have been good to have most of the players in prior to the pre season, especially the more experienced (more mileage in the legs). That is real. You not liking it is your opinion but doesn't add anything.

You are free to counterbalance it with positive vibes instead of a pointless interjection. Where is current reality for our club on the positive/negative scale ?

Question for @Rousseau Can you change the prediction of the second semi-final after the first one has been played ? Thanks

I don't know where it came from. The article is defending the current board as much and probably more than it reasonably should. In so doing, it is reasonable to speculate that the source is directly or indirectly coming from Ibrox. Jackson wouldn't go into bat for the current Rangers board, by making stuff up.

You look back over the (many) years and we should have been sponsered by Omnishambles ! Other than the very occasional 'blip', we tend to consistently make poor decisions, spend unwisely and then cry blue murder when the sun goes down on yet another shit show. Generally, our brilliantly thought out ways to catch up, are resulting in us falling further behind.

@Rousseau Is there a joker available in the Final?

This really is a poor tournament from an entertainment perspective. Hoping for a Spain v Netherlands final. There might be a goal scored. If it's France v England, get you house on a goalless and soulless draw.

Off to the summer training camp and we are no way near where we need to be regards transfer business, both in and out. I guess we need to shift players before we can bring more in. Given that we are somewhat desperate it won't be easy to get decent money for any of them. Our business will be like a combined visit to Poundstretcher and William Hills. Then a couple of months down the line, the off licence.

I get the impression that the crane moves faster than Cyril Dessers

France have scored a penalty and 2 OG's in 5 matches but are safely in the semis. Scotland like numbers

Mon 'Ra Slovaks..... Please spark some comedy!!

To be fair, the pic isn't aimed at the likes of me (or you) because I'm not going to buy a football top. It would be more interesting to see the thoughts of younger Rangers supporters. That said, IMO (I am a photographer with an idea of marketing) it is not very good for various different reasons.

That advertisement pic is just uninspiring and depressing.

Bang on. The random computer is consistent. Off the top my head, the last time it wasn't was when we won the title.

Aye, pretty much. The pressure and problems mount when, as is the case today, we operate in a supposedly 2 horse race that is really them out in front (in various aspects, especially financial) and us desperately trying to stay competitive. We tend to do this by trying to squeeze value out of the money spent. A transfer market is the perfect example. It hasn't worked. I bet the same general thread is behind the problem with the stadium redevelopment work delay. Given circumstances, if we expect to win the league this coming season, we are delusional. Hope, yes....Expectation, for the blind. To let Clement and his staff change things. To radically overhaul the squad, to put the emphasis on younger players and build..... He needs time. It is all very well saying....We are Rangers, it has to happen now...... but that will only take us deeper into a hole. Being on the Rangers board is a thankless task. We need an alchemist or two.

Naw, it wisnae 😁

Clarke can point to mitigating circumstances (limited quad). Southgate is like Gareth in 'The Office '.

The Butland / captain angle has leaked out. It shouldn't have.

Sounds like Malcolm Tucker has been on the phone to them trying to mop up the pish. Kinda looks like it's been leaked and we are trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
