    Appreciate the reply. I have no reason to doubt or similarly believe you - I tend to only believe things when the hard evidence of them is laid out in front of my nose and I can practically smell it. You can blame Boumsong, Cuellar and from my other side, Shevchenko for that. So I take nothing seriously until it's signed, sealed and delivered. I also knew you weren't taking my post as an attack on your person, it's my philosophy in general

    Attention? I just don't take what I read on forums at face value, likewise the printed or broadcast media.

    Ha, my point exactly

    Funny how Webster's gone from loser to fantastic. Soon as he comes back to Ibrox he will be back to loser on the treatment table.

    Doubt we'll get more than 4. Unless we have new owners of course. In which case the value of all our assets goes up significantly.

    A mug's game. Nothing quite as depressing as seeing the type of clientelle who frequent these establishments.

    Last time I saw a Hateley column posted on here you lot were slaughtering him for saying quite different things. It's like football form - you only seem to rate based on the most recent 'performance'. So what is it this week - hate or love Hateley?

    He didn't have any trouble adapting to Blackburn after a slow start - he just missed Ibrox. And he's certainly had no trouble getting used to Birmingham - bit of a renaissance man down there. Bougherra's a good player, but I'd have to say all our past big transfers out have been truly fantastic players - Cuellar, Hutton, Boumsong, and going further back Ferguson and GVB. These guys fetched 8M mostly. Bougherra wouldn't command that fee, he's a �£4M player at best imo and the big teams want better than that.

    I can see both sides. Trading in kids is a bit morally dubious at best, and does create a bit of a market in an area where there shouldn't be one. But the opposition is that the SPL has so little money in it, and any initiative to keep it alive is surely valid. This will generate cash for clubs who'd struggle without it.

    Why do we care about the bloody RST anyway?

    I'll firmly root myself in the skeptics camp, and while I hve no reason to doubt N_L, I have no reason to believe him either. I think my biggest aspect of dubiety is how he remembered so much of a phone call of substantial length to post it. But it doesn't really matter if his post is true or not, just as long as this Ellis character's intentions are benevolent and if he does take us over, he progresses us and gets rid of that damn debt. We're imperious on the pitch, time to translate that off it too.

    tbh this summer could see wolves coming in for him, McGregor, Wilson, Davis, Thomson, Miller - in other words our best assets. New ownership could allow us to keep most if not all of them. I also think we're kidding ourselves if we think any players in the SPL, never mind just Rangers ones, could get a move to any team better than a Sunderland at best. Other than Eck's obvious interest in the best the OF have to offer, no teams in the upper middle echalons of the EPL are interested in SPL players.

    Despite my personal feelings on his attitude and character, I think he's a player we should pull out all the stops to hold onto. Increase his wage up to the level of the club's top earners - if he isn't already there.

    No, but at the same time on timothy boards they're probably saying 'have we ever complained about a postponed OF match on these grounds, have we ever whinged about too many matches'. My point is exact examples notwithstanding, both sides complain when they perceive injustices. We sit here and act judge and jury to their morality, while they did the same in the past regarding us. They're probably saying similar things - and believe they're morally superior. Which we know their fans' behaviour often shows they are not, but the mind of an OF fan doesn't see fairness however much we like to dress it up. Oh he was - that is why I don't understand the Gazza example described by Frankie. One was a blatant red card not given, the other was a soft red card within the letter of the law. In no way am I trying to say Rangers fans and Celtic fans are the same, but I am saying that it's maybe a little innaccurate to say we're the good fair consistent guys and they're the bad hypocriticall morally corrupt guys. Both sides are guilty of being hypocrites. (I will admit over there appears to be a significant level of dignity from our fans and club overall which timmy doesn't have, but this isn't quite the same as saying we're always consistent and morally fair)

    *waits for thunderous hooves of half of Gersnet into this thread*

    With talk of a takeover looking on the horizon, there may be change afoot. But nevertheless, and it relies on a lot of assumptions, are Bougherra and Wilson the future of our defence? Who knows, maybe Bougherra will stay after all (our personal feelings on his character notwithstanding) and hopefully Wilson will too - unless we're all wrong and Weir really CAN go on forever, there will come a time he has to stop playing. Wouldn't be the worst replacement partnership in the world.

    I'm going to play the devil's advocate () here... It tends to be whichever side is in second place that complains that little bit more. Whether we like it or not, and whether we perceive our complaints to be valid or not, when Celtic won the league in 2008, we complained bitterly about the postponed OF game and about the SPL refusing to extend the season - the truth is the teams behind always have more to moan about, and it's always been that way. Why moan when you're in the lead? It doesn't matter if Mo was brought down - we won. It doesn't matter if the red cards we've had this year were valid or not, we're 10 points ahead. If it was the other way around, we'd be moaning, as we have done - Martin Bain complained publicly about the SPL's decision regarding the season extension. My point is everyone in football is a hypocrite, myself included. We moan when things go against us, and dismiss them when they go for us. That's the nature of football and it will never change. (btw, didn't Gazza downright slam his coupon into the Sheep lad's chest in a virtual assault? Hardly really comparible with Brown leaning his head into Lafferty)

    Boyd and Broadfoot didn't though I rate Arfield, and I think he's a player who could do a job for us. But we already have a better version in the form of Davis.
  19. Danny
    I get the feeling Stu was a bit simple - absolutely bizarre thread!

    The epicure's ale

    As an aside about Ashley, since he took them off the market, they're probably now more valuable than they were before given their runaway success in the Championship.
  22. Danny
    It never quite seems to tick for Beasley. He always gets injured at the worst possible time, and any progress he'd made is then halted and he's back to square 1.
  23. Danny
    I'm quite baffled and slightly staggered by this post.
  24. Danny
    You don't seem to remember Bolan, Cleland, Boli, Wright? The above 4 you've quoted were all successes compared to who I've mentioned.

    The day I see Andrew Ellis sitting in the director's box downing a pint of Carling in a one'r while wearing our club shirt is the day I sob quietly.
