It's history was kept there was just a change of owner. We have no chance with that excuse, in my opinion.

Personally I don't think that is an argument. When someone takes something over it does not change the history. We are shouting about that ourselves. When you take something over you buy the whole package. If that were the case how many companies that are being sued would just change their names and say "oh we have nothing to do with that it was oldco"

How long did it take Armstrong to perform for the Tims? Was he not called a dud until last season?

I have yet to see any evidence of an upgrade. In fact Dalcio for McKay could be a downgrade. Whether he gets the sack or not upgrade can not be used at this time.

I would love it just for the wind up factor.

They should stick to selecting buses.

I think that must have been before the game begun.

Do Celtic have a British flag hanging at corrugated city yet?

Is calling us Sevco not abusive and could be judged as sectarian. Name calling is abusive or insulting language referring to a person or group, a verbal abuse. This phenomenon is studied by a variety of academic disciplines from anthropology, to child psychology, to politics. It is also studied by rhetoricians, and a variety of other disciplines that study propaganda techniques and their causes and effects. The technique is most frequently employed within political discourse and school systems, in an attempt to negatively impact their opponent.

It is not me calling them a pub team. It is me that is pointing out that some people do it and later I used it in a sarcastic way.

I read other sites where there are many and are not taken to task.

On Tuesday Rangers travel to the Duchy of Luxembourg for the return game against Progres Niederkorn to defend a slim 1-0 lead. No! Sorry that can't be right I will start again. On Tuesday Rangers travel to Luxembourg for the return game against Progres Niederkorn to add to their one goal lead. Surely even suggesting that Rangers could lose to what many call a pub team from Luxembourg would be bordering on insanity? A team from one of the smallest states in Europe and with only a population of over 500,000. No C'mon Ibrox was a fluke performance from Prógres that can never happen again. This time we will open them up and score at least five or six. Possibly but the fact is Prógres, is as Luxembourg City, a fortification. As we know one thing that Rangers have struggled with in the past five years is breaking down fortifications. Under Warburton the tactics were keep hitting your head against the fortress wall and eventually the wall will collapse. If it doesn't collapse then we hit it harder with our heads. Unfortunately for him it was Warburton's strategy that collapsed and he moved on to Nottingham where he attempted to become a Robb'n hood. That fizzled out in the heart of Nottingham forest where he crapped it to take his case to the Sherriff of Nottingham. The sad thing is he made the Rangers giant Davy Weir into his own version of Little John in the eyes of the supporters. The Question is: Has Pedro improved us? At this moment the answer has to be No. Yes, the first half on Thursday produced some sublime football, but that was also the case under Mark Warburton. We also had periods of sublime football with his team. Apart from one situation of fantastic thinking by Niko Kranjcar and Kenny Miller to score the only goal, we still battered our head against the proverbial brick wall. The worrying thing for me was that the team ran out of steam in the second half. The early in the season excuse was banded about but where in the season are this pub team from Luxembourg? Surely they are also in a pre-season situation. I will give Pedro the benefit of the doubt that he is still carrying most of Warburton's team but you are looking for a manager to improve players and I have seen little evidence of that up until now. Looking at Individual performances then Niko Kranjcar stuck out like a sore thumb producing some brilliance and running the whole Rangers attack. Martin Waghorn also stood out like a sore thumb but a real sore thumb. Not totally his fault though as I feel as he was given very little support and that has been a part of rangers recent history we just do not get players in the opposition box. Waghorn was shouting and pointing in numerous occasions that there should be more players in the box. So while it is easy to make Waghorn the enemy of the state for every attack, and he does miss too many chances, It is difficult for every striker when you are stuck on a desert island. One player that has given the team a lift is Ryan Jack.(excuse the pun) Ryan has been excellent in breaking up play and been very safe in his placement of the ball to his team mates. The one thing that I feel we can be maybe a little bit critical about him is, that he may play too safe. He comes very deep to get the ball and then mostly plays it square. If we want to play the pressing game then it would be better if Ryan plays in a slightly more advanced position if we have the ball. Fabio Cardoso looks more than capable of bringing the ball forward. With Cardoso and Alves together we may just have a modern day Butcher and Gough partnership. Dalcio played well in the first half but disappeared in the second. Again it was not totally his fault as the whole team seemed to capitulate. The jury is still out on him. Daniel Candeias came on for Jason Holt and that upset the balance of the team for a while as Kranjcar began to tire. Credit to the manager who saw he had made a mistake with his substitution and brought on Jordon Rossiter to try and regain control. We never really played like we did in the first half again but we did manage to create a few chances which if we scored would have made tomorrow's game a lot more comfortable. Candeias did look very quick and also looks if he could be a more skillful Michael O'Halloran with hopefully an end product. Again it is too early as we have only seen a half-hour of him. Due to it being a fortress, plus the size and geographical position of Luxembourg it has made it the first country to be invaded in most wars. With Belgium(Earlier part of the Dutch empire) France and Germany bordering it, it is influenced by the French and German Cultures. Formed originally as a part of the Roman empire it has been under the rule of of France, Austria, William the 1st of Orange from the Netherlands, and obviously the Germans during the World wars. Tomorrow night it will be invaded again. Not by any of the major countries of the past this time, but by anything up to 10,000 Rangers supporters. Prógres have moved the game to Stade Joey Barthel Stadium where the National team play their games to let as many Rangers supporters possible attend the match. A nice little financial boost for the small Luxembourg club. Many supporters are travelling even without tickets in the hope of acquiring one at the ground.Lets hope all supporters behave themselves whether they have a ticket or not. The last thing we need is to be banned from Europe after just one round. Thankfully the Luxembourg supporters are not known for causing trouble so it should be a party atmosphere. I expect we will will start with the same team as at Ibrox but I do think there will be a place for Herrera and possibly Pena later on depending on their fitness levels : Foderingham Tavernier Bates Cardoso Wallace Holt Jack Miller Kranjcar Dacio Waghorn I would love to see Morelos in instead of Waghorn to see what he can do but I think Pedro will stick to the plan he had in the first leg. As Frankie commented in the first leg preview,"Failure is not an option." C'mon the Gers!!!!

No probs!!!

I have a piece 3\4 written for tomorrow. I will put it up as soon as I finish it.

Many things used to be classed as okay which are not now. I remember when a girl walked around the track everyone singing "Get it up ye while your young" Was classed as fun then but unthinkable in the modern world.

I was just thinking is this for BD at the next Gersnet dinner when BH is taking photo's.

I am classing him at the level he is playing at as a professional footballer. He should not be near a Rangers first team and would never have been if our circumstances were different. He doesn't get many starts for NI

Hodson is hopeless and shouldn't be near a Rangers first team. At least Tav is good going forward, Hodson is good at nothing.

That was not Steven Davis's fault of course.

Welcome to the site, I am, I drink and know nothing. And what I know I forget.

Yes those day's are gone. These teams are as fit as the rest now and expert in parking the bus and hit on the break tactics.

Unfortunately Ulta''s are starting to creep into the game again with gangs arranging over the internet to fight each other. I believe Hibs and Celtic supporters did it recently. I don't suppose I would be crazy to suggest that we also have a group. It happens all the time in Holland as well.

You guy's must all have beauty queens. The picture above looks more like my wife than she does.

It looks like he has taken to trying to wind people up. Oh well it is his prerogative.

No why would I say that? Now you are confused.
