  1. While agreeing about McCoist the fact is that Rangers just failed in the whole youth set-up over the last years. I do also however think that some of the blame can also be put at his own door as he never really set the grass alight at Morton or Raith Rovers. As we all know older teenagers who think they are adults can be very headstrong and stubborn. I don't know if this was the case but it looks like it from the outside. Warburton admits telling all the players he gave them a blank canvas and Barrie certainly seems to have come of age.
  2. Not the first time he has been caught lying. In fact it may be near the time we can say he is a compulsive liar.
  3. Enjoy your holiday mate. I hope Rangers will Goa 8 points clear before your Backa.
  4. While saying all that I said I must admit I had a "Aghhhh Miller ya diddy" when he missed one of his chances yesterday but that was more of a reaction due to excitement.
  5. Five Things We Have Learned About Mekhi Leacock-McLeod image: http://www.wolves.co.uk/cms_images/acad-1267-1864241_478x359.jpg PUBLISHED 23:04 2nd December 2014 Winger enjoying life at 'family club' NAME: MEKHI LEACOCK-MCLEOD POSITION: WINGER BORN: 19/09/96 JOINED WOLVES: 2014 1 – I got interested in football after watching the Ronaldinhos, Thierry Henrys, Jay-Jay Okochas and then I started learning about the older players like Pele. That was the style of play that I wanted to play - flair. But it was my dad that got me into playing football, he saw that I had a talent and he just helped me progress to where I am now. He was the first person that got me into it and he took me to all my training. 2 - My first team was Ballers FC, a local team in West London, they played at Ravens Court Park in Hammersmith. I wasn’t even there for a season, I played in a tournament and Fulham spotted me, from there I was at Fulham for ten years. The early stages were really good, I really enjoyed it but when you hit 15-16 it’s decision time. It becomes more of a business, they’re looking at other things and that’s a difficult adjustment. It was now my job and there are different expectations. At around 14-15 I was pushing on to bigger things but once I was getting to 16-17 I didn’t play as much because, in the Premier League, they were just bringing people in. I didn’t really get the chance at Fulham but it’s a really good club. 3 – It was a new chapter for me to come to Wolves. I came to look around the club, I was shown the area and I went to the Steve Bull restaurant. It was good and I felt like this really shows what the club is about, it felt like a family and that it does want players to progress into the first team which is proven on all the walls of the training ground. It’s been hard and it’s been good. When you come to a new club you want to make an immediate impact and show the lads that you’re a good player, really strive for the top. It has been a slow process but I feel like I’m getting better and making progress. 4 – The work I do at Wolves is not much different to the work I’ve done at clubs before, the only difference is the opportunities I’ve been given. I’ve been working hard and they’re rewarding me for that, giving me a starting shirt. There are good players here so working for that starting line-up is the main thing, when I’m there I know that I’ve done a good job. The main aim is to get into the Wolves first team, pull on that jersey and play because I’m really growing to love the club. 5 – I’ve always loved sport so if I didn’t get into football then I would’ve always tried to get into another sport. I’m really big into my music, in my spare time I like to dig out the guitar, I’ve been playing since I was 8-9, I also like making beats on Apple Mac and Garageband. I like jazz and that kind of music style, I always looked at Jimi Hendrix and can play Purple Haze. Also, I would want to be a professional remote control car racer, I’ve got quite a few of those, the proper petrol ones. I’ve raced my dad a few times, I beat him all the time. They do proper races but you can get 80-90mph from them so if that hits you, you can break your leg. It’s a bit dangerous for me as a footballer.

  6. Personally i don't think you should boo any players as it will only take away any confidence they had. I hate these guys that sit and right from the start they start calling players wankers and other names. We are supposed to be the twelfth man for Rangers and not be the twelfth man for our opponents.
  7. McKay already had the skills Warburton has just sorted his head. As for Mcgregor, this is a slight exaggeration to get my point across, but you can't teach a donkey to be a horse. I don't mean McGregor was a donkey as he is a good defender,but our style now would be alien to him.
  8. And I thought it was his technical ability that would be his handicap. I don't think he would be up to our passing game. He played terrible against us and had a hand in some of the goals. His hardness in the tackle is his biggest asset.
  9. MICHAEL O’HALLORAN is causing quite a stir among both halves of the Celtic and Rangers support. The hype only intensified this weekend when St Johnstone striker Steven MacLean claimed that he couldn’t understand why Celtic were not looking at trying to gazump long-time Rangers target O’Halloran and sign the speedy wideman in the transfer window. O’Halloran was on top form at Celtic Park on Saturday despite being on the losing side for the Saints in a 3-1 Scottish Premiership loss to the champions.

  10. I agree with you on that and it definitely doesn't fit in this thread. Funny though that you pulled out on that Question. Says it all I think.
  11. What has the pope got to do with our tradition?
  12. How is it their doing. Was David Murray in this Catholic conspiracy?
  13. Not a Rangers tradition that was about our club in its early history. Just a tradition that was invented at a later date when Irish Labourers came to Scotland . Hopefully we can get back to the traditions the great pioneers of our club intended and the morals of our greatest ever manager. It is time to support Rangers and not be as obsessed with the catholic religion as Celtic supporters are about our club.
  14. I actually don't think he is that wrong. I think if Celtic and Rangers had Premiership money we would be up with the best teams in Europe.
  15. I am not sure why the pope is in there to be honest.
  16. Is that not the way exciting leagues are supposed to be. Ask many what league brought the most pleasure and I am sure many will say Helicopter Sunday.
  17. Agree! Jealous united here. I hope you all enjoy.
  18. If he has already played in the cup he will be cup-tied.
  19. The Friends of Rangers.
  20. If it is true that St Johnstone want their money up front then it is quite understandable given our recent history and precarious situation we still seem to be in. We are depending on loans to get through our day to day business. Yes we did pay off all our football debts but I can understand that ST Johnstone do not want to take any risks, We will have to build up trust over a few years before it is accepted we are financially stable.
  21. The game against Burnley I watched I wouldn't offer near 600.000 for Diagouraga. I don't know if he was carrying an injury or not but it looked like he couldn't even run properly. He just jogged about doing nothing really. I think we were lucky to dodge the bullet on this one so no tears here. It is a bit worrying whether there is money available though.
  22. I think that depends on what you value the player at. If MW had thought 400.000 then he was already outside his limit. The old adage counts you are worth what a fool will pay.
  23. The three pigeons was indeed a bit nearer Charing cross. http://www.oldglasgowpubs.co.uk/threepigeons.html
  24. Yes I believe that was originally the Three Pigeons but it has now had a few Indian names. I believe it is now called Mr Singhs but it was then the Ashoka(after googling.) Edit. Was the three pigeons not on the other side of the road. I think it was.
  25. Excuse the ignorance. What is TSFM?
