Devil's advocaat

Fantastic, young lad has got his head down and worked hard.

Mon the dark blues, time Killie and their dreadful surface were banished to ther financial armaggegon that inevitably awaits them.

Great read, well penned, much appreciated.

I've no idea what you're on about. Going by the club's statement, they are in agreement.

You cannot seriously be comparing both? I was proud as f of us yesterday, proud of our fans with the red display along the Clyde, the red white and blue smoke bombs outside Ibrox, was absolutely brilliant, fireworks going off while we were taking the sheep apart once more. But I will not for a minute identify with the fuckwits that soured our name by their behaviour in George Square.

Fantastic, well said.

BBC was the same, celebrate a faultless season against them from rangers? No, instead it's a Pat mortem. Ger it up ye's

Wright, Kent and Arfield must start, the energy of these 3 will be too much for them, then Aribo introduced in the second half to roast the wee Uruguayan again.

Absolutely spot on Bill, we're very much still a work in progress, but a phenomenal season otherwise. I also think we'll cuff them next weekend. But then I always do!. ?

Bill, absolutely spot on sir. ??

It's not about the away game distances for me, and although I agree that away games at the likes of Livingston or Hamilton aren't the most enthralling, when you look that the bigger picture it's not worth it. There is nothing better than a big European night at Ibrox, especially if it's an English team, it's magical. One of the things that makes it is the fact it rarely happens, if it was every week, then in my opinion it would be shite. Ask Man City or United fans what makes them excited now? it's just become too familiar, the only thing that is exciting for lots of English fans now is the transfer window. I love christmas, but F having it every week.

Nope, not for this Bear, the EPL leaves me cold, the idea is no better than that ESL nonsense.

Aye, you're probably right, we always tend to give the powers that be too much credit.

The cynic in me suggests that this is seems a very convenient diversion to sneak this jobbie buttie through unhindered.

Really? Aye, anyway, they've all completely misjudged this one, massive own goal.

Nothing the EPL clubs do surprises me any more, their thirst for money is insatiable. I'd rather watch the amateurs play down the road.

I always believed this too, but Moyes has completely bucked that trend. Mourinho looked like he was doing the same, but has rather predictably turned into an arse again. Me too, but it also annoys the shit out of me how players down tools when a guy is under pressure.

Aye, agree wholeheartedly. I wouldn't be surprised if he has another 2 or 3 years at the top level, he's incredibly focused and trains so intensely that he'll keep going as long as he wants. I reckon he's one of these guys that'll decide himself when it's time though.

One thing I do believe is that international football isn't actually very good to watch any more, I can't think of a national side that has been scintillating to watch for quite a few years now, most countries seem to just rely on big players performing, there's not much in the way of cohesion, movement and tactics that we've had the fortune to see at Ibrox this season. Haaland is one player I loook out for though, the guy has everything, he must be horrendous to play against.

Even big Jack Charlton must cringe when he watches international rugby these days, these guys don't even need the fabled grandparent. Embarrassing.

I'm with John, couldn't care less who's playing for Scotland, although admittedly I loved watching Goram, Gough, McCall, Mojo and Ally form the spine of the team when I was a teenager. Those guys played with McStay, Collins et al no probs, so I've never seen why supporters would be any different. F### supporting an EPL eleven.

I'm with Bill on this, there's no way racism is worse than it's ever been, but what I do take, and agree, from Connor Goldsons comments is that it's been steadily getting worse online over the last wee while. I recall being at a game against Parma, one of our greatest European nights at a rocking Ibrox, and at a break in play some wee f'in ned a few rows on front gives the monkey stuff to the a man who was possibly one of the best defenders in world football at the time. I wanted to choke the wee bastard, Thuram should have gone away with the sound of Ibrox bursting with joy in his ears, not that shite. I think we've come a long way since even that short time ago.

No one has to kneel, plenty of rugbyists never took the knee and it never caused any issues, it's entirely down to personal choice. It was a powerful message at first, at least in American football, but the issue is that it just becomes something we do, and as such is potentially rather ineffective. I have no issue with our players doing it or not doing it, much like one of our players showing any political or religious message, we are a broad, welcoming kirk.

I don't think they'd risk Martindale, Goodwin a more likely candidate, he's done well at St Mirren.

Big Dick was stuck between a rock and a hard place today. Couldn't wait to bring up the scenes at Ibrox, but instead of his usual gang of miscreants, Ferguson, McCall and Dodds were his buddies, all agreeing that 'you canny really blame these fans, after the years they've had'. He even agreed, but you could hear him choking back the bile. Up ye ya c###
