  1. Is the key word not SAFE standing? I see no problem with people standing if it is safe although the main problem I have with it is it makes it easier for nutters to throw things without being caught on camera.
  2. No idea mate i just read the statement that is now been posted.
  3. I think they were on a silent protest tonight because the board want to move them
  4. O'Dea must be the biggest clogger in British Football. Does he ever win the ball honestly?
  5. Some absolute fantastic football in the first half it really brought a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat. The sponsors had Morelos as MOM and RTV had Ryan Jack but for me it was Kamara. That guy is a magnet for the ball and he always does good when laying it off mostly his first touch. The whole midfield with Morelos were unbelievable at times. I could have a man love for kamara but I am afraid he has a bigger dongle than Craig.?
  6. To be fair they did say "Chick Young will be monitoring the game from Ibrox"
  7. In to the bullring came the matador looked at EL Bufaló n'ran oot the F'íng door. ?
  8. I will totally agree with you on that one. Looks and sounds really friendly as well. Totally different from the scalding tongue and cold shoulder I managed to gather in. Is that an age thing do they all turn into demons after they reach 40.?
  9. Had it right in the post was just too early with the double touch for the o and then didn't check. Thanks
  10. On Wednesday evening Rangers get a visit from Dundee to the hallowed turf of Ibrox. After a toothless 0-0 draw with St Johnstone on the 16th of February, Rangers have bounced back against Kilmarnock and Hamilton marking up both games with 5-0 wins. I know our detractors will say that Kilmarnock only had 10 men for a large part of the game and Hamilton are a pretty rubbish team but the big talking point for me was the difference in the hunger, intensity and play style from all three games. Against St Johnstone we were lethargic from the beginning passing slowly backwards or to the side with nobody willing to take the game by the scruff of the neck and try and break the game open. Steven Gerrard said himself that sometimes Rangers players think they can just turn up to win the points. Against St Johnstone it was just like we were out for a Sunday stroll in the park and only the ball bouncing onto the crossbar and not into the net saved us from losing three points instead of two. Against Kilmarnock at Ibrox it was a different Rangers that turned up. We were fresh and crisp. The sending off of their keeper Bachmann didn't help Killie's cause but lets not detract from the Rangers win Rangers pressed high and were all over Killie like a rash even when they played with eleven men. Then there was the El Buffalo. Although he was serving a three game suspension he was available for this Scottish cup game. And what a game he had. He scored four goals and could even of had a few more. When we took to the field against Hamilton it was written almost everywhere that Rangers were a one man team and without Morelos we would struggle to score. The Gers again came out with the high press and Hamilton just couldn't handle the movement and technical ability of Rangers. All of a sudden we have another five goal win and all goals coming from five different players including Kyle Lafferty who hadn't scored since September. In my opinion one of the reasons for this turn around is the introduction of Glen Kamara in the defensive midfield role. Kamara is great at winning the ball back and keeping the ball retention going with rangers having sixty-six precent of the play. He also always passes the ball forward at speed which does not allow the opposing team to fall back into their normal bank of four defenders and five midfielders guarding the box. Ryan Jack also seems to relish playing in a slightly more advanced midfield role and is even starting to add goals to his arsenal. Against Dundee we need the sharp Rangers team to turn up again . With Celtic being eight points clear there is no room for the lacklustre Rangers to show up. If we want to give Celtic a run for their money then we need to go on a winning run right up to the end of the season. We may have been given a boost with the resignation of Brendon Rogers if it has a negative influence on the Celtic team, but if Rangers don't win our own games then frankly it does not matter what they do over at Tin City. We know Dundee will set up to frustrate Rangers in a nine man defensive line-up probably with our old friend Kenny Miller leading the Dundee line as a lone striker. Give Miller a half a chance and McGregor will be picking the ball out of the net. Gerrard made it clear at the press-conference that Andy Halliday has a tight groin and he will probably rest him for this match.Halliday has been showing fine form of late and is giving Steven Gerrard a problem whether to play him or Barisic in the left-back position. Halliday may be less technical but he is certainly ahead in the goal and assists table at the moment. Personally I doubt there will be many other changes except of course Morelos will replace Jermain Defoe. That will make the team: McGregor Tavernier Goldson Worrall Barisic Kamara Candeias Arfield Jack Kent Morelos Rangers have a score to settle against Dundee as we drew 1-1 with them at Dens Park in December despite Dundee playing 70 minutes with ten men. That day the Lacklustre Rangers team turned up and games like that are the reason we are eight points behind Celtic. The form and hunger of the last few games has to be a rich vein of form and not a flash in the pan. One of the most said phrases this season is we are looking for a reaction from the players after dropping points. We should not need to be looking for a reaction we should be turning out consistently good performances. This team are at times unplayable, as they were even for Celtic, but passing the ball slowly around the team letting Dundee get their defensive block set up will look great on the possession statistics, but will slam the door of the trophy room firmly shut. Every game is now last chance saloon. C'mon the Gers!!!!
  11. Do you have a big dongle??
  12. Rodgers and out! Couldn't resist it.?
  13. Well to be fair C1872 did ask supporters to complain to the BBC.?
  14. Totally nothing. I just feel it would get far more support from C1872. I have totally no issue with the VB.
  15. Everyone should be behind this, I am not up on what the vanguard bears are or do but this should be supported by all. Club 1872 should be organising this really.
  16. Well done to the guy's tonight. Enjoyable listen. We are actually getting quite good at this.
  17. Not the full story but he has very few goals or assists. Good player though
  18. Halliday had no defensive roll today it was easy to be good. That said he has been producing more than Baricic recently.
  19. The problem isn't the Orange Order people marching it is the drunken idiots that hang on to it that cause the problems. I even have known Catholics in the past that loved going to watch the Orange bands

    I think Docherty will be punted. I think Gerrard prefers more physical players.
  21. We will have a little chat tomorrow.
  22. So admitting you are a liar and will lie to make life easier for yourself. Again you even lie in this piece. Rangers did sign Catholics at that time and always have done throughout history. You also pulled the old sectarian card to cover up a 5-0 trouncing to make life easier for yourself. The thing about liars is they lie to cover up lies and in the end lose track of the lies they told originally. Liars always get found out in the end as in your case.
  23. He has been class up until now. I said McCrorie should start every game but I will now back-track on that and say Kamara should start every game with jack in that more advanced role.
  24. I will try and do one for Wednesday. Just so busy at the moment doing up a room that is breaking up to the loft with fast stairs to create 2 more bedrooms + storage space upstairs. Also trying to get my boat sailing for the summer spent all day yesterday there with my b-i-L working on the engine(He was). Also getting solar panels fitted that is hopefully working on Monday. I am not doing the work so that isn't really costing me time just money.?
