Rangersitis

Is this part of a deal for Di Maria to go in the opposite direction? Muller and Robben were being talked about as possible makeweights.

UEFA used to regionalise the early draws to cut down on expenses for the smaller sides. That charter would have been filled up with fans as well as players and staff, so some of that would have been recouped. I looked at flights for Yerevan as West Ham might have been drawn there. Looking at £350 minimum flying from London.

They need to be good enough for the top league in one year, at the earliest, not now. Wakey wakey!

The co-efficient is dropping like a stone and qualification for the tournament proper becomes more difficult every year.

Fuck me, not happy with bringing in players on loan, but you want them played them out of position too. I'm out.

Winks doesn't see himself as a defensive midfielder, so why do you?

I prefer my Rangers heroes to have had a bit of dignity about them. It's hardly surprising that an alky wife-beater does it for a strange wee stalker like you.

You cite clubs which have deep, talented squads making the odd loan signing of international players. The current situation at Ibrox Bears no resemblance to those situations.

Yes, he did, but he wasn't alone in that regard. The team was geared up for domestic success but that was their ceiling. Some painful lessons were handed out by continental opponents.

Talented player, no doubt, but a fantastic guy? John Brown needs to have a word with himself.

They will also curtail the development of players who are permanently contracted to the club. The end results are similar to McCoist going out and buying 'experienced' players to win the lower leagues - it all catches up with you in the end. People really need to make up their minds as to what it is they want to see The Rangers become and how they envisage it growing in the long-term.

Other than the travelling, should the home match protocol not be exactly the same as the away one?

Yet more short-term thinking.

King is doing well enough discrediting himself by constantly changing the script. I would have absolutely no problem with him if I could trust him to match his words with deeds.

You accused me of being facetious earlier on in the thread because I posted "shut up and be grateful". Now you more or less tell me to do just that.
