Thanks guys I will try the Record to find it. It must be on the Gersnet somewhere but my search couldn't find it. Unfortunately the Tim one comes the nearest as I was hoping to read the full document..

Does anyone have a link to this as I would like another read of it for a piece I am working on. Thanks.

That was what I was getting at as well.

I think you will find that Barcelona also pay millions for some of their youth players. In some cases they also pay for their families to live in the area. I doubt you can compare their youth budget to that of Rangers. You may not even be able to compare our first team budget to their youth budget.

Craig remember we stopped the mighty Barcelona from playing good football a few years ago. A 9 man defence and some hard tackles brings any team down a few notches. Some of the tackles Peterhead put in were bordering on criminal. If you are waiting to get butchered like that it will certainly affect your decision making.

Of course there is room for improvement but I also think that no matter where you football or indeed probably in other walks of life your standards form on the opponents you are playing or the problems you face. Human beings have a tendency to do just enough necessary to get by. I don't think it is intentional it is just a mental state. I am not making excuses and I am certainly not an Ally lover as I said from the beginning I didn't want him as manager. Another mental state is that people see negatives far more than they see positives. There can be 100 positive things happen but it is the 1 negative that sticks in the brain. As I said I before I just don't go with the doom day scenario, we are better than that.

Thanks mate looking forward to that.

Personally I don't think it is as bad as everyone is making out. I think we have been playing some good football at times and some do seem to forget we do actually have opponents who are running their lungs out and not afraid to dish out the odd bad tackle. Our opponents will have the ball at times. 3 holding mid-fielders though is pretty poor tactics if I am totally honest.

You never let anyone down mate these things sometimes happen. I have put my name against QP just because it was the next game so if anyone would prefer to do that one then I will pick another.

No problem Gribz it wasn't aimed at you just a grumble in general.

I totally agree with JTP I think this is more of a statement than a banking decision.

Giving this a bump. Put my name on a new list Zappa. Come on everybody we have 2000 members why have we only got a few to do a Preview?

Rangers should give the DU money to help Kilmarnock, that would be a cracker.

Two so called Rangers fans Whyte an Muir certainly fucked us up.

They pass driving tests but still can't f***ing drive.

To stop tv coverage we would need to get all members of Sky to send a letter saying they are working on a boycott and won't be watching. i am not really sure how that would work.

Please stop bitching at each other and keep the discussion about renaming the stadium.

I think I read somewhere the tickets were priced at 15 pound. Don't take this for certain though.

I think he means to form a sort of picket line.

Dumbcaster won't resign and his puppetmaster liewell will do everything in his power to keep him in his job. Unless Liewell has a new replacement ready to take over of course.

I only signed it today as i didn't realise I could sign it as I live abroad. All British citizens can sign it no matter where they live.

Maybe he is giving courses in tactics for Dummies.

Totally agree with you and I will also say Ian Durrant was on his way to be one of our best players ever before that cunt at Aberdeen scythed him. Surely people must also put Cooper before Laudrup?

Obviously we can refuse to let camera's into the ground but it is what the consequence will be for doing it. I thought our registration was only given a temporary stamp because Green refused to give up our right of appeal. If that is so then we are going to have the same locking of horns next year again. Green will again be blackmailed into accepting.

Excellent piece once again DÁrt. It is going to be interesting to see what happens with league reconstruction and TV deals. I feel that the SFA\SPL will try and blackmail us again. Charles said he will not play ball but I wonder if he has any option but to accept what is agreed by the SFA\SPL. No doubt Mr Lawell will be doing the negotiations again.
