Calling it faux-offence is just as stupid as putting a point forward with a lone gif which adds absolutely nothing to the argument. I don't mind gifs for a comical remark but when you are trying to make a point in an argument you should have the decency to put your point across in text. Then we don't have to read 3 posts to get what your point is. Now was that faux-offence?

Liking what Windass did with Ashely and the Easdales is just Stupid. But for Windass to say he was not Gesturing at the fans is stupid in another category. I can understand it was done out of frustration, but he obviously didn't forget it straight away as he posted a photo on Instagram pretty soon after the match ,as if he was proud of what he did. It was stupid but he didn't commit murder so let's move on. Lets have more of the low bow Josh that was a better gesture. It is good that players have communication with the crowd it would be horrible to have them isolated like robots on the park.

Google is many things but certainly not your friend.

You also have 24 hour news on the telly.

Thanks Whosthedado.

Just when we should have been celebrating a good win and two fantastic goals against Partick Thistle, with one finger to his lips telling the away crowd to shoosh, Josh windass changed the whole accent of post match discussion from the fantastic goals and win to his stupid gesture. If Graeme Murty is a good manager he will have given Windass a good ticking off and tell him he should have more respect to the people who pay good money to watch him come wind rain and snow and ultimately pay his wages. If Windass has any sense then he will ask to do the pre-match press conference and apologise to the supporters. Then the matter should be forgotten and entered into the realms of history and we all move on. I can't let the Thistle game go by though without another mention of the two fantastic goals which were completely different but both works of arts in their own way. The first was five quick fire passes without a Thistle player getting a sniff of the ball. The move started when Foderingham gave the ball to Bates just outside the Rangers area. He took a few strides forward and then released a fantastic pass to Candeias who knocked it around the corner as they say with the outside of his foot to Cummings. Cummings took one touch and weighted a perfect pass to Candeias who had sprinted down the right wing and in turn took a first time perfect cross to Windass who had out-sprinted the Thistle defence and side-footed it into the roof of the net. If they were playing darts it would have been a nine darter. The perfect game. The perfect goal. If the first goal was a Vincant van Gogh then the second was a crazy Salvador Dali. James Tavernier played a midfield 1-2 pass with Josh Windass. He received the ball a little behind him but controlled it and strode forward into the Thistle D and then rifled it into the roof of the net giving the Partick Thistle keeper totally no chance. The reason it was a Salvidor Dali is that Tavernier came from the left side of the field. Windass's pass was not great but the end result was a thing of beauty. A bit crazy like Dali's work On Sunday we move on to the picturesque seaside town of Ayr to play Ayr United in the fifth round of the Scottish cup. Ayr are at this moment in a footballing dogfight with Raith Rovers to be champions in league division one. They are leading the pack by one point but Raith have a game in hand. The Honest men as they are called have a far better goal difference because of their goals for, so it would seem they are a very attacking team and know where the net is. That said they have already lost thirty goals Which is higher than three of the teams around them. That is possibly good news for Rangers as it makes them a team that is not good at defending and all the noises are that they want to go toe to toe with Rangers. Lawrence Shankland and Craig Moore have been scoring a bundle of goals for Ayr so this could be the much feared banana skin if we lose our concentration and think the game is won before we enter the field. Beating us would be a fantastic scalp for them but the chairman would probably be ecstatic to get a draw and get a replay at Ibrox giving them a fantastic financial boost. Good news coming from Ibrox is that the injury problems are starting to decrease with Kenny Miller back on the bench with Bruno Alves and Ross McCrorie ready to hit the training field. Kenny Miller has not been very popular with some fans but his experience enthusiasm and work rate are second to none and does give boss Murty an added option. Murty will probably keep Foderingham on the bench and play Jak Alnwick in goals. I can't see him changing the defence although he may bring Fabio Cordoso in for Russell Martin or David Bates. Declan John went of sick on Wednesday so Lee hodson or Andy Halliday could step in to the left back position. Halliday was preffered on Wednesday so he would probably be the first choice. I would imagine that Greg Docherty will get a full game so the question is who will drop out. Jason Holt or Sean Goss are not natural defensive players and both have their strong and weak points. The golden foot of Goss or the hard work of Holt. This may be a game for a hard worker rather than a slick passer so I will go with Holt on this one. I would love to see Morelos and Cummings together in a two man attack, although it would be difficult to overlook the form of josh Windass. Candeias is also in the form of his life and is a must start for me. I think the team will be: Alnwick Tavernier Bates Cardoso Halliday Holt Docherty Candeias Windass Cummings Morelos

Anyone doing anything for Sunday?

I thought John was great in the beginning but now he seems to be more of a liability losing the ball in dangerous places.

It is true what David Edgar said on his Pod yesterday. Windass looks it up on social media it was not on the park he was abused it was on social media. He should not take his fights on social media on to the park because it is probably people who have never seen the inside of Ibrox and could even be tims. Given their addiction to us it most likely is the majority.

The fans are paying his wages he should never be disrespectful to them.

I think Celtic fans have probably received worse abuse.

Macca story up.

I will be glad when Wallace is back and John is sitting on the bench. Wallace is not great but John is a nightmare

I can't even get in bed Close to the wife

Funny enough when I was reading up on the Edwards tackle on Jack, Sutton said it was a certain red card and he couldn't understand why Collum missed it. One Mr Alistair Murdoch McCoist said it was not intentional so not even a foul

ABUSE RAP Former Celtic Boys Club chief appears in court charged with historic sex offences against primary school pupils Gerald King pleaded not guilty and was allowed to continue on bail ahead of a pre-trial hearing next month By Laura Murray 6th February 2018, 2:41 pm Updated: 6th February 2018, 3:07 pm A FORMER chairman of Celtic Boys Club has appeared in court charged with historic sex offences against school pupils during his stint as a primary teacher. Gerald King, 65, has been accused of lewd and libidinous practices towards six students while he was teaching at St Martha’s Primary School in Balarnock. 1 Former Celtic Boys Club chairman has been charged over sex abuse claims He was suspended from his job following the revelations and he was warned to stay away from the school after his arrest on February 15 last year.

He pleaded not guilty and was allowed to continue on bail ahead of a pre-trial hearing next month.

In other ‘news’ Keith Jackson would have us believe that the SFA are lining up Walter Smith for a return to the helm of the National Squad. Mr Smith who will be 70 on the 24th February will barely be aware of this milestone as he is suffering from dementia. If the SFA are engaged in this wild goose chase does anyone need any further proof that they should be disbanded?

Only if he is on the bench.

I hope you need to catch up with the last photo there can be no doubt.

I would say more players are 2 footed these days than in the old days you just don't get the time these days as back in the days

You sabotaged my posting account. I actually wrote it last night but wanted to post it at 8am. Then I lost the whole post and had to start again. Hmm what did you say about checking the preview List.

I give up I have lost it twice now. It happens on preview post for some reason.

I have found mine back on words so I will edit it up and stick it up anyway. I don't know why I lost it on here. I hadn't given the new thread a title maybe it was because of that.

Don't bother I threw it away somehow.

Have you started yet Frankie as I have already written one.
