  1. Release a statement prior to the Press Conference stating that if anyone asks a question about Barton the press conference ends there and then. Simple
  2. Paul Le Guen scenario? C'mon. It only becomes that if we make it into that. Let's keep faith with the manager and give him time. Warburton may not have achieved anything that that was "tangible" but in the 16 months he was manager at Brentford he took them to their highest position in 2nd League in 80 years, finishing 5th in a very competitive Championship. That is still a very admirable achievement. We need to believe in what he is doing and stick with it. Ok, there will be some hurdles over the next few months and years but what is the alternative? Lurch form one manager to another with the same myopic short termism that has crippled our club over the last 20 years. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if there are people already calling for Walter Smith to return. If something like that happens, I'm out
  3. C'mon guys. Is it time of the month for a few guys on here? Can we stop splitting hairs and bickering about tiny margins and get back on topic?
  4. Poor summer signings? Is this based on 6 league games? Some of the new players have played on 2 or 3 times? What chance do we have if we are going to judge every player so quickly. Let's give them a chance for goodness sakes
  5. Is anyone actually counting 10 in a row? 4 of those titles would be without us even being in the league to challenge. I genuinely couldn't give a flying damn about this pointless "title".
  6. Nothing in football is down to luck. I think most people are aware we have been poor but despite that we still could have won all our games (apart from Parkhead) without actually playing to anywhere near our full potential
  7. How long before the "Bring in Walter" brigade start? After all it is Rangers and we have a great track record of myopic short termism... Let's calm everyone and get a reality check. We are 6 games into a new season. Ok we haven't hit the ground running but in 5 of the 6 games we have been the dominate team and with a few breaks here and there could/should be sitting with 4/5 wins. Give the manager time to bed in his players and he will get this right. I'm an optimist and I genuinely have a good feeling about going away to Hearts and Aberdeen as both those teams will open up and come at us. If we can defend better I feel these games will suit us better than trying to break down a packed rear guard.
  8. I think it's harsh to judge Garner on 2.5 games in which we have created very little in terms of chances. He was brought in as a goal scorer but he's had very poor service IMO
  9. I didn't get the Miller for Garner sub. To me that's like for like and didn't solve the issue of not getting decent service to the striker in the first place. Miller came on and seemed to spend most of his time in the middle of the park. A very frustrating day indeed
  10. Honestly...who actually buys the Sun or the Record? They are just pamphlets of lies
  11. If we are ever in the position to do so, I would love to see the Govan, Broamie and Copie road stands flattened and new modern 3 tier integrated stands with full corners taking their place. I would also create a visitors centre/shop/museum where Edmiston House is. Anyone got a spare 50 million?
  12. This has been my main concern since Barton signed. As a Rangers player, he should not be operating in the media/twitter etc. as a free spirit. He should be making sure he is expressing his views in accordance with the club and Manager.
  13. He worked for TalkSport during the Euros so I presume he see it as a good platform to get his side of things over
  14. I hate to speculate but you have to feel that this is what this all about. Player arguments happen all the time. (Especially after a sore defeat)
  15. I'd go with the same team but I would swap Forrester and Windass' positions. I'd rather have Forrester playing more forward and Windass deeper with space to drive into. Either way it's positive looking team.
  16. Ukraine have just been handed the 2018 CL league final...
  17. Are you talking about the training pics or the game last Saturday Frankie?
  18. I'm uncomfortable with that sentiment tbh. The Ibrox Disaster should never be used as any kind leverage to catch Celtic fans in the act. That's why I've always found the poppy tribute debate equally uncomfortable as I feel that is also too important a subject to simply point score against a group of numbskulls
  19. Unfortunately, this is the rhetoric that will keep coming from this game forever but it can easily solved. Stop singing TBB and don't wreck toilets. Those things don't happen and the spotlight is all on them. It's like the cup final. We don't enter the pitch and the spotlight and condemnation is all on Hibs. FFS Rangers fans, box clever on this. We don't have a chance with the media so we need to be cleaner than clean on fan behaviour. They have an agenda so let them give people enough ammunition and they will be found out. On a positive note, I thought the flag display by the Rangers fans on saturday was nothing short of brilliant. It was colourful, impressive and positive and IMO it was refreshing to see a lack of Union Jacks and Ulster related flags in there. We have more to give than just jingoistic messages
  20. That's Davie Hay off the GB Christmas Card list.
  21. It is doing the rounds that the Slovakian guy is Infantino's UEFA puppet. Infantino apparently visited him for a cosy chat 2 weeks prior to the vote and bingo, he get's the job.
  22. I don't want to be arsey but I don't get what you mean by "apartheid" schools? My son goes to a "catholic" school and he is from a mixed faith/fathless family (Atheist and Catholic). He has class mates that have Pakistani, Chinese, Nigerian, Malaysian and Sikh heritage so it's a pretty mixed bag. And with regards to these schools being run by the Catholic church, that's nonsense to be honest. That might have been the case many moons ago but the only people that are running the school and in turn shaping my son's education are a bunch of hard working teachers
  23. I agree Frankie but I think debate on these subjects could do without the sweeping generalisations.
  24. C'mon for goodness sakes. I know there has been some stuff going on over the last few days but let's get things in perspective. Can we stop generalising/labelling with all the political/religious stuff? I find it quite uncomfortable tbh and sometimes it leaves me wondering why am I a Rangers fan and am I welcome at all within the Rangers family. I feel that I'm being told to be a certain way as a Rangers fan and that really bothers me. For the record, I'm an atheist. I'm not a Protestant or a Proddy (whatever that is). Politically, I come from a long standing Scottish Nationalist supporting family from Govan. I have no great desire for "Great" Britain and have zero time for the Royal family or any form of Monarchy. Believe it or not, I like Scotland and follow the fortunes of the national team. With regards to my private life, my wife is Irish and I spend time in Ireland on many a holiday. I like Irish people and enjoy the country. I also have friends that are Celtic fans. God knows where this all leaves me as a Rangers fan? I like Gersnet, as it has always encouraged balanced debate from what I consider objective Rangers fan from all shades. It's not a forum like Rangers Media which IMO has moved towards the extreme side of the spectrum and has some very dangerous and troubling contributions. Lets' not go down that road please.
