I agree totally but Garner can still become a hero.

Seemingly breaking news on SSN that Police Scotland have received complaints of historic child abuse. No mention of any clubs.

Do you not see digging in for a year and trying to get another 1% shares to push Res 11 through as an option. If we have enough to the end of the season, with the new season tickets we should be okay until the next AGM.

Cheers mate.

This is the latest list. Hearts at home and St Johnstone away are still available.

Yes and a very big please John. I will put your name down now.

Yes most younger ones probably would have to. I don't think there is a modern version though. The lion was really cross-eyed.[video=youtube;5-1LuZp074s] I think I spelt it wrong though.I made Clarance instead of Clarence. Now when I see itClarance doesn't even look right.

I hate to say it but from what I have seen of Garner I don't see that much difference from Sebo. I hope he proves me wrong.

That is my problem. I will admit that if we had good cover Holt would not be near the team at the moment. I think he has been very poor the last few games.

No it wasn't it was on Sky. McCann and Walker work for SKY. I don't have BT so it would not have been live on my TV.

After the results of the last 2 weeks I have written a letter to the SFA asking for a rule change. I have asked them if a football match can begin with the clock on 95 minutes and count down to nil. Hopefully that will cut out much of the stress of being a Rangers supporter. When we score in the 93rd minute it will mean an early goal for a change. The Rangers team seem to have found a way to keep the supporters biting their fingernails to the last kick of the ball. Conspiracy hunters could be thinking that the club have adopted new policies to keep the so called Subway Loyal supporters fixed to their seats to the end of the game. We have won 3 games in injury time this season against Motherwell, Dundee and Partick and if you count our defeats against Celtic in the League Cup and Aberdeen in the League that is 5 games that have been decided in the dying seconds of the game. Watching the Partick game on Sky at the weekend it was a breath of fresh air to hear Neil McCann sitting next to the commentator. He must be the best, most balanced pundit in Scottish football. Andy Walker may not be so well balanced but in fairness to him, he and Neil pointed out where our weaknesses are in attack. We just do not have a forward busting a gut to get into a position to score goals. Harry Forrester broke away a few times getting deep into the Thisle penalty area. A good striker would have been busting a gut to get to the front or back post. Garner had jogged behind to position himself at the edge of the penalty area. Andy Walker says regularly as a forward you sometimes have to gamble and make a run in hope a ball will come your way. Our forwards just don't seem to make those runs into the box. Garner, Miller and McKay all come away from the goal leaving not one player in the box. The manager has being saying that Garner has to get used to the system but a square peg rarely fits in a round hole. If you want to win the Donkey Derby you buy a donkey. If you want to win the Grand National you buy a racehorse. I don't mean Garner is a donkey I just don't understand why Warburton bought a player who has no idea or even looks like he has the attributes to play the system he wants to play. Another thing that has annoyed me of late is that Foderingham plays the ball out to Tav. Wallace, Halliday or Wilson\Hill. They feed the ball to Holt, Windass or whoever in the midfield and the ball is played first touch back to Kiernan. In that time the opposition have moved up to pressure us and Kiernan has no option but to play a long ball. When it comes to Kiernan giving a ball more than 10 yards I have to think of Clarence the cross-eyed lion who used to star in Daktari all those years ago. I have never seen Clarence in football boots but if I do then I am sure he will make me think of Kiernen playing a ball more than 10 yards. I will admit that I think Kiernan has definately improved but this is one of the areas we are screaming out for far more quality. Looking on bright side, thanks to those 2 fantastic goals from Joe Dodoo we have now won the last two games so we should be building up confidence. Watching a documentary yesterday evening over Mighty Mike van Gerwen, the best darts player on the planet at this moment, He stated “Winning breeds winning. I used to go to tournaments hoping to finish in the last 16. Now I think I can smash everyone I am playing against.” That is the mentality this Rangers team needs to get. Hoping for that second place is not for the Rangers minded. We should be entering the pitch with the belief we can smash every team in the league. I include Celtic with that for if you go into a game expecting to lose then you probably will lose. On that note we head to Tynecastle on Wednesday on what will be one of our biggest games of the season in the battle for European football. What can we expect? Probably one of our more physical games. We know Robbie Neilson always sets his team out to work hard and get in peoples faces. Whether Neilsen will still be the Hearts manager remains to be seen as he is in discussion with the MK Dons to take over as manager with them. A sad day when a manager would even consider leaving Scotland's third team for the mighty MK Dons. Another sign of how far Scottish football has nose-dived in relation to England. Their main striker Bjorn Johnsen is 6ft 6inches which will make it physically difficult for our defenders. I would expect Hearts to be looking for free-kicks in dangerous areas as they will know set-pieces are our Achilles heal. I, as I think every Rangers supporter has, suffered from a massive strain on the Sphincter muscle when high balls get crossed into the area. Hearts have not shown great form this season but all these teams seem to step up a gear when the world record, league champion holders, are in town. Hearts surprisingly bullied and beat us for promotion into the SPFL 2 seasons ago. The Question is how far have we come in the last 2 seasons? Have we closed the gap on them or hopefully even overtaken them? Can we now bully them as they did to us two seasons ago? Wednesday evening will give us our first real control point on how Mark Warburton has actually improved the team. One thing we have to applaud Hearts for is the appointment and work of Ann Budge. She has taken the club from administration and financially turned it around. On Friday at their AGM she announced the club had turned a 1,6 million loss into a 630,000 profit for the year ending in June. She also demanded the club end in 3rd or 4th position in the league. Working that into my Mighty Mike theory I hope she gets her wish. In both cases behind the boys in Royal Blue of course. One thing is virtually certain. Mark Warburton will not change from his favoured 4-3-3 system. You know? The plan A and B one. So no points for guessing the system we will play. Unfortunately some teams do get points as their managers also know how we will set up. Sorry! Forget that. We are now using the improved plan B and the Mighty Mike "we can Smash anyone," system. The two positions I think that are open for discussion are: Who plays in defence and who will play as the main striker? I know we should not look at other teams but as we don't already have a set in stone defence, I think I would go for Hill and Kiernen. With Hearts having a 6'6 inch striker I think Kiernen and Hill have more body and are the strongest in the air. Wilson's distribution is certainly better than the others but I think we can expect many long balls up to Bjorn Johnsen and I believe Hill and Kiernen are the best to combat that. When Joe Dodoo came on for Joe Garner on Saturday the team all of a sudden looked far more dangerous. We looked like we could actually stretch the Thistle defence. Dodoo does not go in search of those physical battles with the opposition rearguard. Dodoo looks for that bit of space that is essential for scoring goals. Looking at both goals he scored on Saturday he scored them because he had lost his defender. That is a far better attribute to have in my eyes as clamping fast on a defender and trying to out-muscle them. Sometimes there are horses for courses of course but Garner has struggled to get out of the stalls and Dodoo in the little playing time he has had looks as though with a little grooming he could turn into a thoroughbred. Coming off the bench and scoring does not always translate into starting games and scoring but I think Dodoo definitely deserves his chance as the main striker with Miller and Forrester partnering him in the attack I think the team will be. Foderingham Tavernier Kiernen Hill Wallace Holt Halliday McKay Forrester Dodoo Miller Having Wallace, McKay and Miller on the left means if Miller moves inside or drops deep it will leave room for McKay or Wallace to fill in the wide position giving more balance to the team. It is time to try something different it is time for Dodoo! Dodoo! Dodoo Dodoo Doddo. Great to hear the 1960's \70's battle chant "Get intae them" has also resurged so with this. C'MOn THE GERS "GET INTAE THEM" As Mighty Mike would say" We can Smash them"

Thanks for the Faq FS. Great what you learn on this site. The only share I have ever known was my bed. pre-emptive of course.

With the Partick goal. Was the player who headed it back not in an offside position?

Picture this. My wife sitting on one sofa doing some sewing and my daughter on the other sofa looking at her tablet. i think they had the darts on, on the main TV but the sound was down low as they were also chatting. The house is is locked in silence. Pete is sitting watching the the Rangers game on a second TV I have on my bureau. As it is a second TV in the same room I am listening through a pair of headphones totally entranced in the game. My wife and daughter are oblivious to anything that is happening on my telly. Then on the 93rd minute Dodoo gets the ball and slots it home. I jump out my seat screaming at the top of my voice "Yes ya beauty" A tablet gets launched into the air. A pin cushion clatters to the ground.Then I heard the loving words of "Jesus ya stupid idiot ye nearly gave me a heart attack":D

Last year the vote was lost by 1.3% I believe. sinds then club 1872 has increased its shareholding so that 1.3 would have been less probably under 1%. Ally has 1.25% of the shares which would have got Res.11 over the finish line. With Ally reneging it meant 1.25 less votes and res 11 fell about 1%short. Why. His shareholding will not be diluted and if more shares come on the market he could increase his share-holding. Why 2: This is pure supposition. Ally has now let everyone see how important his shares are. He can now say my shares are for sale but instead of paying a share value of 25p they will cost 29p per share. If he has a million shares for which he paid a penny then he has a nice little earner.

Maybe Ashely has already paid him.

Kenny Miller is guest speaker.:fish:

I was hoping for a December -February the 4th as I am planning a trip back but I doubt I will make an end of season one. As Boabie I don't really go for Italian food and love the old curries, but I can understand you want some variation and that would not stop me attending. Not a definite no from me but I would say highly unlikely.

DAVE KING has confirmed that Mark Warburton will have funds to spend in January to strengthen his squad. The Rangers chairman spoke exclusively to RangersTV after this morning’s AGM and admitted he would expect ‘some’ transfer activity in the new year. When asked if Warburton would have a budget to bolster his playing staff in 2017, he replied: “He does have – the view we have taken with Mark is that he must continue to look at his squad. “I think he will admit certainly the summer transfer spending wasn’t as successful as it was the previous season. “I know the standard is higher, but some of the players he has brought in – Joey Barton being a great example, he tied up a lot of wages but he didn’t perform for the manager. “The manager then has to recycle that, and I think he has to keep looking, see what players are working in his squad, see what ones he may want to move on and which ones he might want to bring in. “So I would expect some activity in January.” King believes there was enough investment in the squad in the summer as the club prepared for their first season back in the top flight. He added: “Oh yes, but if you look at the level of investment we have made on some of the players – Joey Barton who, for different reasons, didn’t make much of a contribution and tied up a big part of our budget, and Niko Kranjcar who is injured. “So some of our players who Mark has brought in to give that balance of youth and experience haven’t worked out for various reasons.” On potential January transfer targets the chairman added: “Mark is working on that, and it’s not something he will deal with me directly on. “He works with the footballing board on that, and certainly some names have come up, but I know that Mark is working on a plan for January and I think there are quite a number of options he is looking at.”

Whimp!!!

February 4 would be a good date.
