It's not a huge issue as we can only make three subs anyway so the manager obviously felt we were well covered there. However, there is no doubt we lack depth and experience which is a worry as tougher matches and conditions approach. I'd like to see us sign a couple of players in January to supplement our squad. I believe we are still being strongly linked abroad to the Honduran Boniek who is apparently a fine player.

Aye, knocks were always going to cause problems - particularly when the manager doesn't seem very keen to rest players when given the opportunity. We really need Webster and Beattie to contribute more while the quicker Jelavic returns the better as we look a bit stale in attack at times. I'm hoping Foster and Kerkar will help out as well. Out of all the names you've listed, I'd like to think only the Croatian will be out for longer than the next month. But this won't be the last time we're moaning about injuries - especially if we don't strengthen in January.

Nope, different to that in a variety of ways - same background as old forum, similar header, a bit more subtle red and similar postbit style to old forum but retaining the quicker AJAX elements of VB (i.e. less graphics)...

Have also added a Gersnet Retro style which is a bit closer to the old look.

What do you prefer in that theme?

I felt the goalkeeper dived early but Miller had telegraphed it by opening his foot early as well. He struck it well enough but it was at a good height for the keeper to save. Harsh on Miller perhaps but I was annoyed he missed the chance to really put Aberdeen to bed before half-time.

Probably best you weren't in the club anyway - it was absolutely packed as all the navy lads were in there before the game. Maguire should have been sent off in the first half for a blatant kick at Weiss. In saying that Bougherra was lucky to only be booked when he kicked Maguire later in the game as well.

Glad you and the wee man had a good day. About time we won when you finally make the effort to get to a game... Nope, wasn't on the cider - just felt Fleck had a good game where he used the ball well and got stuck in all over the pitch; including his defensive duties. Certainly didn't think McCulloch was overly influential.

OK, I've rolled that back to a Cookie based system...

Rangers return to winning ways with routine victory against dreadful Aberdeen outfit. http://www.gersnetonline.co.uk/2010/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=336:rangers-2-0-aberdeen-player-ratings-and-mom-poll&catid=35:analysis&Itemid=67 :jf: Thought the wee man was our hungriest player and benefited from being just behind Miller in our 4-5-1 formation. The team played pretty well but no-one really stood out in my opinion.

We're getting there - any other suggestions/ideas folks?

No chance of a Lennon smilie on this forum... Fuck him and his ugly pus!

Embarrassing attempt to goad our support. Ignore.

I've darkened the border slightly - hopefully that is agreeable with everyone...

OK, I've added another for your comfort... :boogie:

Was there one?

I agree, the smilies are crap. Should be replaced now with the more familiar ones.

Unfortunately this hack is currently unavailable for VB4.

'Breadcrumbs' now added to foot of thread view (under the quick reply box).

issue fixed

Guys - I've been away for a few days. I'll try and get the issues mentioned sorted over the next day or two - work permitting. In the mean-time, apologies for any inconvenience but the security upgrade was mandatory.

Spawny bugger!

2. Looking into this. 3. This doesn't seem possible and the status-icons here are often brighter anyway. 4. Vb4 was tailored to cut down on the number of table columns for accessibility issues so again, I'm having difficulty finding out whether it is easily possible to separate the status-icon, post-icon, title unfortunately but I will see what is possible.

I've changed the way this works; mark them all read from the main forum homepage menu and it should sort itself out.

Right have amended the threadbit to remove the date/time surplus info - is that what you meant there?
