Brown went to bed between 8 and 9. Fergie and McGregor at 11ish (I think that's what was reported). So a 5 hour session is ok, but 7 is stepping over the line? Surely there's more to it than that?

So they've just picked the quotes they want to fabricate a story. Typical.

Welcome to the forum. Suprised you're getting anyone disagreeing with the inclusion of Edu at CM.

Yeh, believe it was mate.

A journo from Ireland you say? And he's writing about Scottish football. Sounds like a Celtic fan.

Not an easy game to pick a motm for. It's not that we played badly. We just didn't play at all.

Better than a UEFA Cup Final? :box: :devil:

A short term failure is going to have an enormous effect on the long term.

:devil: Should've been Burley.

Do what you've hardly done all season and try to lead us to the title. Go where you want after and you might be regarded fondly.

What. The. Fuck.

Nope, you're definitely going to have to explain that one to me. I'm flummoxed (sp).

I'll pass on your request. Lol. They aren't necessarily all arseholes, But there is a fair number.

I'm inclined to agree with you Gav. But depends if it is McCulloch who replaces him and how he gets on.

I assume this is a "friend" of yours? You should keep better company.

As an example, one cunt near me when Fergie scored against Italy, when the cheering subsided shouted I wont cheer a goal from that Hun-bastard!

Don't disagree the club had to be seen to act and were quite right to act. Just worried how it affects the title challenge. As you allude to, I think the best option is to pull Davis inside, though who then plays wide right? Fergie and McGregor have made a difficult position (the league campaign) even worse.

What happens after that. It can be argued that McGregor may not get his place back, Barry is fortunate there is a lack of competition. And when they play again, will we see the kind of boost in performance that only Burley seems to be able to inspire within a Scottish Rangers player?

Davie Weir is a model professional, still playing at the top of the game as he approaches his 39th Birthday. Unfortunately for Weir and for Rangers, he came to the club he supported late in his career. He has however still proven to be an exceptional capture. Brought in half way through the season after the failed PLG experiment, alongside Ugo Ehiogu he shored up our defence and was key to Smith steadying the ship. The following season he formed a formidable partnership with Carlos Cuellar, helping the Spaniard to bed in and become Scotland's POTY. With the depature of King Carlos, fears were renewed over our centre-back pairing and Weir's lack of pace. Cuellar's replacement, Madjid Bougherra, has again slipped in seamlessly beside the veteran defender. A clear pattern is emerging here and quality players tranistion into Scottish football has obviously been augmented by the steadying influence of Weir. With another crisis at Ibrox, much like the first where Smith made the rallying call South to the towering defender, Weir has again been pitched into the deep end. 7 games to reclaim the league flag, beginning with a 3 point disadvantage. However, you would be hard pushed to find a player who you would rather have to rally the troops and get the squad all pulling in the right direction. Weir's professionalism and desire to win is everything you would expect of a Rangers captain and we should be proud to have such a player to turn to to lead the squad in the final push for a league and cup double. And Weir will not be short of support in the dressing room. Another player with a similar exemplary and professional attitude allied with a great love for this club is Neil Alexander. When he was poached from down south he was first choice keeper at Ipswich Town and battling Gordon and McGregor for the number one jersey at international level. Alexander gave up his comfortable position at Ipswich for the unenviable challenge of displacing his established international compatriot. Alexander was patient as he waited for his chance. And when McGregor cruelly succumbed to injury, Alexander grabbed it with both hands. His decision to give up his number one status and become back up at Ibrox was vindicated when he played in a UEFA and Scottish Cup final in his first season and cruelly missed out on a league winners medal. When McGregor was short on form and short on confidence, Alexander again displayed his excellent professionalism as he came in from the cold to again perform admirably. No sulking when he was dropped, he dedicated himself to his training so he was ready when called upon. Like Weir he has shown his manager and the fans can depend upon him when required. We are fortunate as a club to have two great professionals to turn to in a week of turmoil and I look forward to backing Rangers captain David Weir, Neil Alexander and the rest of the light blues as they lead us to a league and cup double.

Yep, there's a lot of idiots out there who almost hope a Rangers player does something they can blame a defeat on over hoping for a Scotland win. But arseholes don't stop me supporting Rangers and wont stop me supporting my country.

Do the TA pick the team. Souness for example will pick who he wants.

You mean Hutton, Adam, Burke?

Til Burley gets the sack, which should have happened after Norway/Macedonia when our qualifying chances were shot already.

Fergie/McGregor only took the heat off him for a while

When it was stated they'd never play for Scotland again?
