    Also, an interesting submission from ACPOS which discusses 'political' chanting: http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/s4/committees/justice/inquiries/OBFTCBill/OB60.pdf

    The RSAssembly submission can be viewed here: http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/s4/committees/justice/inquiries/OBFTCBill/OB7.pdf

    Another salient point.

    Main points for me (from RFC statement):

    http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/s4/committees/justice/inquiries/OBFTCBill/OB59.pdf Some excellent points made by the club (and the Assembly in their separate submission). We can only hope the powers at be take our opinion seriously.

    I think the problem we have is obviously finance. No European football translates to a large loss for next season unless we sell a player or players. I assume to get round this any transfer monies previously indicated will now be set aside to minimise any adverse affect on our accounts. As such, if we do sign any more players, they won't cost much - if anything at all.

    I felt Davis gave the ball away under no pressure far too often. Also feel he didn't work hard enough off the ball compared to Edu who I reckon was our best midfielder yesterday... Naismith had a nightmare yesterday and I was astonished Ortiz or Fleck wasn't brought on to change things given the Dons were on top for long periods.

    Always a tricky wee place to visit.

    Rangers go back to the SPL summit despite unconvincing display at home to Aberdeen. http://www.gersnetonline.co.uk/2010/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=438:rangers-2-0-aberdeen-player-ratings-and-mom-poll&catid=35:analysis&Itemid=67 One fantastic save to claw Boca header away from his post, once again we had to rely on the 'keeper's quality.

    Ortiz was very poor the other night but before that had been doing reasonably well enough given the team has been generally only fair-to-middling so far this season. FWIW, I don't think he was signed as a first XI player but what he'll offer is depth, versatility and as such will prove to be a useful (though probably average) signing. I'm comfortable enough with that as not every signing has to be either brilliant or a failure.

    Jelavic is at his best with another player alongside him. Without this support, the big man struggles to create much via the countless long balls aimed towards him. Moreover, Lafferty is a lot of things but a deep lying central 'hole' player he is not. If we must play someone there, then it should be Naismith, Bedoya or Fleck who have the ability to link the play better than the Ulsterman.
  12. Frankie
    Yeah, this is quite a difficult question to answer. The young lad has done very well so far and I wasn't overly impressed with Boca in the first match. As such, I'd be tempted to start Perry and filter Boca into the team over the coming weeks. Are Jamie Murphy and Michael Higdon better than what Maribor have to offer? That's the question Ally will have to answer before making his decision.
  13. Frankie
    I sincerely doubt it. Hopefully the players use this protest to spur them on tomorrow.
  14. Frankie
    Don't think so mate. S_A said we had rejected a bid during last week's press conference.

    Rumours are @GreggWylde27 has agreed a new contract with Rangers. http://willievass.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/240811-Rangers-training/G0000Xn7e8E5b3q8/I0000ltIDyd1M7dI

    Bannan is a defensive midfielder so probably not a priority. A decent price quote there though but I'd imagine Villa would want more cash.

    I think it's only fair to ask the question given the comments made directly (or indirectly) by the new owner about our budgets. However, it's also fair to note that budgets can change and when we consider the obvious impact no CL football has on our finances (we're down �£15million right away) then I'd rather the club were prudent rather than wasteful. Generally, I think we've done quite well in the market so far. We've strengthen the squad and brought in some experienced players who are capable of improving the team and our SPL challenge. All for minimal outlay. I'd like to see us make one more signing though as I think we need some creative and goalscoring cover - Jamie Murphy would be ideal as he's represent good value. However, I also wouldn't mind some experience up front but that would mean having to move one (or both) of Beattie and Healy on as they currently supposedly offer that without it seems being trusted by the manager to do so. I'd be surprised if we didn't sign at least one more player via the EPL 25-man squad clearing lists.

    I'm sure UEFA will know by now the problems Rangers are facing with regard to campaigns led by so called 'journalists'. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do when such people transfer their hate to others who are easily misled or those that make money out of the associated sensationalism and negativity. No crime is being committed as far as I can see so all Rangers can do is attempt to be pro-active in how they deal with such bitter individuals.
  20. Frankie
    Can't remember mate but I think Healy scored as well.
  21. Frankie
    Clearly, Diouf's failings as a person are exaggerated by some while ignoring similar from others (e.g. Lennon or Bellamy) but all in all he didn't do enough on the pitch last season to warrant signing him this term. You can see the lad is a decent football player but his lack of pace and the circus that surrounds him detracts from any quality he does have.
  22. Frankie
    I think it's been obvious throughout Lafferty's Rangers career that he does have the raw talent/potential to be a decent player but for a variety of reasons (injury, playing out of position, poor attitude and unreasonable fan expectation due to his fee) he's not delivered consistently enough to make him popular. It's an exaggeration for anyone to suggest they've been his only supporter since he signed as I feel most people have acknowledged the fact he looks a fairly exciting prospect when fully fit and playing up front. The problem for Lafferty is that his good form just has not been regular enough. As with most bears, I hope the end of last season and his start to this is the beginning of him maturing into the fine, mobile striker he should be.
  23. Frankie
    As far as I know Rhys Murphy scored for us in a friendly yesterday.
  24. Frankie
    While I agree with the general point, Naismith is suspended for Thursday so Edu will probably be recalled to play alongside Davis.
