The Pre-Summer-2017 transfer rumours and hearsay all inclusive Thread
Uilleam replied to der Berliner's topic in Rangers Chat
Curious. Did Pedro 'snub' Ibrox stars or merely Warburton's duds? I am not sure that I should be able to differentiate between them, if pressed. Does rasellik Record do so? -
Rangers players' true level - compared to 90s squad players
Uilleam replied to 917's topic in Rangers Chat
On his game, a very enjoyable player to watch. Not one to fit into a tactical straitjacket, mind. -

Limeburner, I think the OP is trying to derive some consolation from reminding himself, and us, that no matter how bad the current incumbents, there was comparable dross who wore the shirt in the past. It's not working for me. -
They are cheaper by the dozen, it seems.

I wasn't commenting on Jackson's attack on Rangers' people, but on the "back page lead", or, perhaps more properly, "back page leak".

The Pre-Summer-2017 transfer rumours and hearsay all inclusive Thread

I didn't hear a report on Saturday. No bang, merely a whimper. -
Never mind Albertz, Reina, Tugay.....

There is a cricketing story, possibly apocryphal, that during England's (in)famous "bodyline" Ashes tour, 1932-33, the England captain, Douglas Jardine (yes, a Scot, born in Bombay/Mumbai, right enough) approached the Australian dressing room, post play, to complain about bad language. The Oz captain was Bill Woodfull, and the resulting exchange may have been with him Jardine tells the Aussie who answered his knock that one of Aussies had called him a 'bastard'. The Aussie, keeping Jardine at the dressing room door, turns and enquires of his team mates: "Which one of you bastards called this bastard a bastard?" Ian1964 should rely upon the Australian Defence. From what I have read/heard of the Murray/Findlay Show, the defence is founded on showing that Murray is an even bigger liar than Tam Pepper, and Tam Pepper, is, of course, in the dock. The question of bastardry does not seem to come into it.

I tend to agree. I harbour similar sentiments about Garner.
-
I am surprised only that Richmond ( a rubbish official, if memory serves) did not suggest a yellow card for Miller for 'Ungentlemanly Conduct".
-
I didn't see/read/listen to any of the after match stuff. It was purdah, or murder. Did PC actually say he had delivered a list of up to 12 targets? He should paint targets on the backs of the players involved in the last two debacles, and charge supporters £100/each to shoot at them with rifles, imho.

It's a sort of Predestination arithmetic for Richmond: Ane for Heaven, and ten for Hell.

Is somebody on the Board(s) or in the administration leaking stories to this chips' wrapper? When will they ever learn?
-
Not only was it a disaster, you contrived to watch it sober. Let that be a lesson to you. Six pints and you'll be taking the positives out of it.
-
On reflection, any half decent player might well feel stressed when asked to play with that lot, out there, on display, today.
-
A Spaniard with no cojones, playing for a Portuguese who grew up fighting bulls: a scenario always likely to end in tears.

I think that somebody, one of those empowered, should change the title of this thread to: Turning Shame at Hampden into Complete, Abject Humiliation at Ibrox.
-
Personally, I fear that they will not win another game this season.
-
After 40mins, Sky tells us Rangers have had 1 shot at goal, fhilthfootballclub 11. Actually, that is shameful.
-
Their passing is appalling: either telegraphed, or badly executed. Their marking at set pieces leaves a lot to be desired, with fhilth fc's major goal threats seemingly being given freedom of the paddock.
-
Through beer goggles, darkly, is often the best, the only, way to watch, depending on form, both your own, and that of the team. I prescribe a kerry-oot, of substantial content.
-
In other occupations it would, in all likelihood, be held to be a potential conflict of interest. The problem, in practice, is that if you allow players to bet on matches , that privilege is likely to be abused; from the use of 'inside' information on the player's own team, or, perhaps exchanged between mates, who play elsewhere, for the opposition, say, on form, injuries, tactics, the star striker's marital issues, and so on, akin to 'insider trading', through 'spot fixing' or influencing the no. of fouls, throw ins, corners, cards, own goals etc., to full blown match fixing. The temptation to indulge in such behaviour would be increased by lack of success in the betting market.

Rangers players lunch interrupted by C****c Fan/NED

I believe that this is 'smart, casual', in the Gallowgate slophouse dress code.
