I guess there won't be many tims backing it then.

Poland 1-2 Portugal Wales 0-2 Belgium Germany 1-1 Italy France 3-1 Iceland

These kick-off times will actually be better for the Irish guy's I would imagine as they will be home earlier and I would imagine there will be an early morning ferry.

Okay guy's since this is just turning in to a slagging match I am closing the thread

Warburton has said himself he won't get it right all the time. Don't forget it is not that long ago we got rid of Andy Webster. Do we need a look-a-like

No does that make a difference? He is still 34 and not played for years.

No because it didn't really bother me. Rangers do though. A goalkeeper is also different from an outfield player. 34 is not that old for a keeper.

Rangers are not in the business of doing agents favours. If he can sell a 34 year old player who has hardly played in years he will be laughing up his sleeve and running to the bank with a nice wee bonus.

I agree but I have not seen that Celtic are interested in a 34 year o;d that has hardly played for years.

I find this very depressing. Celtic have just signed a 19 year old with bags of potential for a reasonable fee and we are looking at a 34 year old that has hardly kicked a ball for years. All of a sudden we are looking like the rest place for dying swans.

Calscot and Limeburner can you guy's cut out the crap. Just ignore each other and put your handbags away. It is better for the rest of us. If you still want to niggle each other do it in private. Thanks.

I just don't think he is good enough.

Hopefully Gorden Strachan applies and gets it.

I don't care now that is water under the bridge. At this minute I am enjoying the pain. England wanted out of Europe. They got their wish.

Sorry I have not read that post can you pm it to moderation and we will look at it.

:party::celebrate2::clap: Well done Iceland for a well deserved win.

There is only 1 team wearing red white and blue. Well a real blue.

I will gladly relinquish all if England go out to Iceland. You can put me back to pas de points if Iceland win. My tournament will be made up. I wont be taking the polo-shirt anyway as I already have one. I doubt they will though but I will be living in hope. Come on Iceland!!!

The thing is statistically Calscot is totally correct when it comes to games won. Statistics don't always tell the whole story though. Would Rangers have lost so many games at the end if the league was not already won? The biggest point to success for me though, is that Warburton has people clamouring to get season tickets and with Ally they were handing them back. Yes there was a boycott but for many it was Ally they were boycotting. Warburton or Ally winning then or now is a moot point and we will never know, so no point in losing energy over it.

Yes a good team.and team spirit. Is Ally McCoist an advisor to Conte?:fish:

Rangers chief executive Charles Green THE door is only slightly ajar but Charles Green has been given the first glimmer of encouragement as he seeks an escape route out of Scottish football for Rangers. The Conference League has emerged as a possible destination for the Ibrox giants with the majority of clubs in the fifth tier of the English game keen on bringing them on board. Chief executive Green threatens to up sticks and leave and will recommend to the Rangers board they go elsewhere if current league reconstruction proposals for a 12-12-18 set-up go through. By his own admission the options are limited, although a poll conducted by talkSPORT radio station has indicated 60 per cent of teams in the Conference would support moves to introduce Rangers into the league. The Conference clubs will hold their mid-season meeting next week and the possibility of the Division Three leaders moving south could be up for debate. Stockport County are one of the clubs in favour with vice-chairman Spencer Fearn believing Ally McCoist’s men would help give the league a higher profile and better financial rewards. Fearn said: “If Rangers feel they have been given a raw deal in Scotland and are determined to leave then there is no harm in discussing it. “I would welcome them as it would be excellent in terms of revenue generation for clubs through TV money, gate income and sponsorship as well as raising awareness of the Conference brand outside the UK. “We have seen what has happened in Scotland’s Third Division so it would be good for the Conference to have Rangers. “Clubs like Peterhead and East Stirling have been playing in front of full stadiums and there is so much interest because of the presence of Rangers. “Rangers being in any division gives it a boost because of the fanbase and history. I would certainly welcome them.” Fearn spent four years in Scotland as owner of East Stirling and while he would prefer Rangers to stay put for the sake of the national game he is well aware of the benefits they can bring to the table. He said: “Rangers’ involvement would allow us to put ourselves in the shop window. There would be better TV deals and more fans through the door. There’s also the fact they would be able to play in the FA Cup. “In an ideal world I would prefer Rangers staying in Scotland but if they want to leave I’d be delighted for them to join the league. “I don’t think it would be good for Scottish football as the Old Firm are the heartbeat of the game. “But if they are adamant they do not want to stay there we would happily accept them here. The standard is pretty good. I would say it’s on a par with the SPL and top of the First Division.” However, not every club in the Conference is prepared to roll out the welcome mat, with Forest Green one of those firmly against fostering cross-border relations. When all 24 Conference clubs were asked their views on Rangers joining the league, 15 replied and nine were in favour. Forest Green – NO Chairman Dale Vince: “That’s what Hadrian’s Wall is for – it’s a poor idea.” Braintree Town – YES Assistant manager Mark Sansom: “I’d say yes as long as they picked their fans up from the airport and took them back again.” Gateshead – NO Chairman Graham Wood: “I would welcome them in the Premier League but say no to them in the Conference.” Tamworth – YES General secretary Bradley Hadley: “Yes, we would welcome them as long as it wasn’t at our expense. “Our players would love to play in front of 50,000 people. It would be great to have a 4000 sell-out here financially, although it would cost a lot to police.” Nuneaton – YES Ian Neale, owner and CEO: “Yes, we’d be happy with the extra support. There are already Welsh teams like Newport in the league so it isn’t that different. It would generate a lot of media attention for the league.” Ebbsfleet United – MAYBE Chairman Jessica McQueen: “We wouldn’t be averse to any club joining but it’s the distance we would have to travel to play Rangers that would be a problem. “We are part-timers but if Rangers joining meant we would become full-time, then maybe.” Barrow – MAYBE Brian Keen, chairman: “I cannot see anything against this but it needs a lot of looking into. “They would have some fanatical travelling supporters but it would only be used as a lever to get into the English League and I cannot see the authorities allowing it.” Macclesfield – YES CEO John Harris: “In principle if it strengthened the league we would be in favour. It would give the Conference more credibility. Mansfield – YES Media officer Mark Stevenson: “Our manager would be in favour of Rangers joining the Conference.” Woking – YES Mike Smith, chairman: “We would be right behind Rangers joining the Conference, although there are logistics and administrative issues that would need to be sorted out.” Southport – YES Press officer Haydn Preece: “The size of grounds would be difficult but it would be fantastic for us and the sponsors. It would give us a huge financial boost and heighten the profile of the league.” Newport – NO Les Scadding, chairman: “Rangers coming into the Conference sets a dangerous precedent for football both sides of the border.” Wrexham – YES Press officer Geraint Parry: “If Rangers were accepted in we would be happy to see them.” Hyde – MAYBE Director/secretary Andy McAnulty: “It would depend on a majority agreement of all Conference clubs. If this were the case, we would be happy to go along with the League’s wishes.” Read more at http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/conference-clubs-to-debate-possibility-of-rangers-1536600#qoDCZ1wC2Lb8Vc5q.99

Personally I don't see the point in going to America to train and play 1 game. I could see it if it was for American supporters but 1 game in 1 town doesn't help that much. Warburton says he would rather train than be in the league cup so why trip all the way to the states and miss a couple of days training. Unless it is a money motivated thing.

I have no problem with Ally as he had a contract and was entitled to see it out. I am totally in support of the new boar( or not so new now) but I do wish King would stop with bullshitting. Ally gave up his contract to go to BT not to save Rangers money. Rangers could have stopped him going to BT as he was an employee of Rangers. This was something King could have given an easy answer instead of trying to bullshit fans. This was a decision that suited both parties and Ally should not be made to look like a money saving Hero.

I think I can safely say the 3 worst teams won today. In my view anyway.

Great last 5 minutes but the wrong team won.
