    Quite a rant given you had nothing really to go on. Almost like you were looking for a theme which wasn't there. Like I say, I am keeping my thoughts about our first match to myself for now. And if making assumptions based on previous posts makes me arrogant, then it makes everyone else on here arrogant too. But you can call me Dr Doom, because it sounds damn cool

    Saw this on Friday, could not understand why Reporting Scotland were doing an article on policing OF matches completely out of context. Absolutely baffling.

    They were talking out of their arses. If yesterday had been a great result they would have fired off the 'I told you so' routine. And with a negative result I'm seeing a lot of folk saying it's 'only the first match of the season' or downright ignoring the previous comments they made in preseason. I'm going to keep my thoughts to myself for the time being.

    Absolutely not imo. Hemmings did well against a Linfield reserve side but was a little out of his depth against Blackpool. I would absolutely not start him tomorrow. I do like the defence though. Anything which stops Broadfoot playing.

    That's the banana. Knew it wasn't the Dutch.

    The most significant memories I have of him were mostly during the 92/93 run in the Champions League. I remember him crying, despondently looking at the turf at the end of the final game against CSKA, aware we'd missed out on the CL final by a single point. We couldn't get the win against the Russians we needed, albeit because of Marseille's result against Bruges it didn't matter what we did. It was a special run in the inaugural CL, Coisty's goal against Leeds at Elland Road in the qualifier being a highlight, a striker's diving header from a Hateley cross which ripped up the rule book and won the Battle of Britain for Scotland. There were his hundreds of goals in the SPL, and of course his cracking drive from about 25 yards for Scotland during Craig Brown's regime against possibly Holland which flew into the roof of the net. There's just too much from his career to pick out one defining moment. But everyone will always remember 'that' goal in the Cup final V Hibs - that stunning overhead kick which just about summed his career up

    If this move forces both to improve, that's one decent thing to come out of it. As they stand I rate neither that highly. So this could push them to improve. More so in Wallace's case given his age.

    He did better than expected, but then so did Broadfoot a couple of seasons ago. Andrews was a cult figure who most groaned at when they saw him in the lineup. But because of the whole keep believing thing, and the fact we won the treble (I think it was), he's gone down in history as a lot better than he was. That's what nostalgia does - scrapes away the negative parts and leaves you wistfully remembering what you want to remember.

    Ha. I hear Lovenkrands and Gattuso are there too.

    Class player tbh - never quite realised his full potential but adores the club and I think we could do a lot worse.

    The 29-year-old, however, has revealed for the first time that watching Ally McCoist and Mark Hateley dismantle his beloved Leeds United in the Champions League qualifiers in 1992 was where it all began. He said: "Ever since those games I have always followed Rangers. "I actually got tickets for the first leg even although no Leeds fans were allowed up at Ibrox. "I was in the Directors Box and managed to sit still when Gary McAllister scored in the first few minutes. "But because Rangers won over the two legs my brother and I just started following them from then on. "They had beaten our club so it all stemmed from there and a few years ago I was in Florida and got my picture taken with a Rangers shirt on. "After that there have been a few rumours about me joining the club but that was just me being a football fan and a Rangers fan as well." http://www.rangers.co.uk/articles/20100806/alan-smith-exclusive_2254024_2109810

    This is what happens when ye skim text.

    Cult hero. Yes. He wasn't a popular player though. Because he wasn't very good.
  14. Danny
    Am I missing something? Weir?
  15. Danny
    Thank christ. Don't think I could take Wallace and Davidson in one day.
  16. Danny
    I wanted Novo. I canvassed for his signing well before he ever joined. Andrews was a pretty poor player who kept within his limitations - he wasn't exactly a popular player tbh.
  17. Danny
    Indeed, but the game, as Frankie alludes to, has changed. The SPL is quite abysmal these days. Scottish football used to be a lot better.
  18. Danny
    I'll leave Calscot alone. I'm too nice a guy to begin a war with optimists.
  19. Danny
    Why are we paying this much for a mediocre SPL player when we wouldn't go higher than 400k for Miller or Rodriguez? As for Davidson, oh joy, a St Johnstone player. We're aiming high.
  20. Danny
    Incredibly disappointing signing tbh - isn't any better than Sasa. I hope he somehow ups his game and proves me wrong.
  21. Danny
    I've stopped listening to Fourth Official. They get Rangers rumours about 90% wrong. According to him a few days ago, Bartley, Cuellar and Miller were basically done deals.
  22. Danny
    I know all I do is moan, but this really is turning into a thoroughly depressing transfer window. Now we've lost out on Miller, have had a bid for the American rejected, and are still hanging on to see if Cuellar will come. Meanwhile the Bartley link is going cold, and we pulled out of the race to sign Rodriguez because Espanyol wanted a million. There is time to go, but at the beginning of this week a number of us had some grandiose hopes that a lot of good things would happen this week. Another passing day and another failure for anything positive to materialise. For a new era with a new owner and manager, we couldn't be getting less joy if we tried.
  23. Danny
    Or it's because he's on 40k and has to accept a wage cut of 15k minimum so wants to recoup that. It is greed to an extent, but if he's entitled to it, he's entitled to it.
  24. Danny
    Another day, another lack of any positive transfer news. It's quite depressing really. All we've done this window is extend the contract of 2 key players, and Steven Whittaker, and sign one decent looking winger. The squad needed major surgery - it just hasn't happened.

    In the way I criticised the German tour, I have to praise last night's display. Our sharpness is definitely returning, and some of our play was pretty convincing. Ortiz looks a very promising prospect on the wings, his cross for Davis was visionary. Davis had a good game and deserved his goal. I had a bad feeling about Ally in light of how poorly the German tour went, but a lot of that has been dispelled in the last 2 games. The true time to judge is of course Saturday, but I feel a tiny little bit better about us. I just wish we'd make some bloody signings.
