Aye,I'm having a wee bevvy in the hoos and waiting for my wee chinese to arrive

Aye, me to, looks like you and me are the only ones talking , I know Gers110 is lurking there

Half time,first and only attack and they score,good enough for Manure

Big Eck has Birmingham playing the same way he had Scotland playing

If this is not a good enough reason for all the teams to boycott the tournament then I don't know what is

1-0 Birmingham

1-0 Everton,Osman

I think it's just because it's more of a general football thread,after all he isn't at Rangers now

Looks like it's been moved to the football section http://www.gersnetonline.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=15846

WALTER Smith has warned of dire consequences for Rangers if they do not resist selling any players during the current transfer window and also retain the bulk of their squad whose contracts are due to expire in the summer. The frustration Smith has experienced for the last 18 months as the Ibrox club grapple with their financial problems resurfaced yesterday as he responded to speculation linking Pedro Mendes with a move to Sporting Lisbon. Rangers, who have not been able to buy a new player since August 2008, remain under pressure from the Lloyds Banking Group to restructure their finances and reduce their �£31 million debt. But manager Smith is adamant Rangers cannot afford any further cuts to the first-team squad for the second half of a season which currently sees them seven points clear of Celtic at the top of the SPL and still involved in both domestic cup competitions. While top scorer Kris Boyd has now been offered a new contract, Smith is keen to see the future of other players tied up. Among those whose existing deals also run out at the end of the season are Kirk Broadfoot, Nacho Novo, DaMarcus Beasley and Stevie Smith. "If we don't start to offer some of them the opportunity to stay with the club, then we will cease to operate, never mind anything else," said Smith. "We have been in negotiations with a few others as well as Kris. We have started talking to Kirk Broadfoot and Nacho Novo. It is something that has to happen." With his resources further limited by injuries and unavailability, Smith was forced to fill out his substitutes' bench with four youngsters in Andrew Little, John Fleck, Gregg Wylde and Jamie Ness. He regards it as a clear indication of why Rangers should not be looking to offload senior players such as Mendes. "Who says we are going to get rid of Pedro?" added Smith. "I've not heard anything about getting rid of Pedro, apart from what I read in newspapers. Last week, we only had two senior professionals in Maurice Edu and Stevie Smith on the bench at Celtic Park. We will only have a couple available to us again this weekend. With suspensions set to kick in for the second half of the season, we will need all of our players between now and the end of the season." Smith is still waiting to learn if Boyd will accept the club's offer of a new three-year contract reported to be worth around �£18,000 a week. "His agent spoke with (chief executive) Martin Bain yesterday and he has gone off to think over the offer being made," said Smith. "We've still not heard anything back." One player Smith would be prepared to lose is French winger Jerome Rothen, 31, who has failed to make the desired impact during his season-long loan from Paris St Germain. He is no longer in the manager's first team plans and hopes to return home this month. Rangers begin their defence of the Active Nation Scottish Cup tomorrow and Smith is able to welcome Kenny Miller and Kevin Thomson back from suspension and injury respectively for the lunchtime kick-off against Hamilton Accies at New Douglas Park. http://sport.scotsman.com/sport/Walter-Smith--warns-.5968866.jp

Been meaning to ask you,why have you got Willo Flood as your avator/sig or whatever you call it ?

You've no kicked the arse of it yet mate I really should be the last person to joke about typo errors Some times Boyd plays like Bod

Celtic agree to an offer from Middlesbrough for defender Gary Caldwell and midfielder Barry Robson. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/default.stm

Not a bad shout,the tournament should be abandoned

HA HA. Anyway,let's hope Boyd/Bod signs a new contract then we can look forward him scoring more goals for the mighty Rangers. Boyd/Bod = GOALS

Big feckin deal, we have Wilson and when Bougherra returns he will be like a new signing

boom boom

Bod ?? :devil: No Boyd = no goals No goals = no title

Always happy for young players to go out on loan,providing they are getting a regular game,to gain invaluable experience,good luck to the guy and I hope he returns to Ibrox a better player for it.

Old age doesn't come easy my friend

All I thought was Boyd wanted parity with the other strikers,Miller & Lafferty, which I assumed was �£18k ??,if he is being offered parity then I see no reason why he wouldn't accept it as he knows Rangers don't have the money to offer him probably what he could earn by leaving the club,so if he has been offered the same as Miller & Laafferty I would expect him to sign a new contract

WS confirms Boyd has been offered a new contract and it is up to him to sign it,SSN
