I guess it can help their claims of their coverage being neutral...

Absolutely spot on mate... :spl:

Probably because we have the more difficult 5th round match next week..... More reason to stick your money on us!

Yep, that sounds accurate enough to me Craig. Miller is on fire himself (or has been anyway) so the lad will be desperate to play as well - fully fit or not! Can't wait until Boyd comes back as well!

Was looking forward to this clown's rant this morning. To suggest the title is lost already is reverse psychology of the highest order. Hopefully he has more to suffer over the coming weeks!

Do green seats mean green shoots for OF financial equilibrium?

Yeah, I'd like to thank our writers for their continued good work as well actually. It isn't easy to find the time to write originally about issues at the club and I know myself it is difficult to think of something that grabs my own attention never mind the people I want to read it. For those reasons, we'll never be churning out a huge amount of article content. However, as always, quality beats quantity and I'd much rather read interesting articles like those we regularly on here by a range of authors, than some of the tat in the 'official' media. Same goes for the forum in a general sense - much better to have concise threads with various good contributions than hundreds of posts masking the real debate. PS: If anyone fancies writing anything, give me a shout by pm and we can arrange access to our private writers room where you can share ideas, obtain feedback and watch Schoolmistress Bluedell give Latin lessons... :box: I know there are plenty of members on here who can write well so get involved further if and when you can. No pressure for it to be a regular thing! -
Only the player can say he's fit or not... I'm sure he'll be OK for Saturday and even if he's not we should have enough to score goals against Falkirk.

Superb stuff from Dado over on RM which I thought I'd share after my po-faced chicken article earlier...

Establishment has been breached: Our Source tells all. Jan 28 2010 By Declan O' Fended. THE ESTABLISHMENT was blown open last night in a Daily Record exclusive. Shocked Celtic fans were left reeling after they found out QUEEN ELIZABETH was behind them being 10 points adrift in the title race. Furious hoops bosses were FURIOUS to find out that top ranking Establishment officials also included: The head of the SFA Top presenter Jim White A host of other top ranking Ibrox officials Celtic manager Tony Mowbray Our source who cannot be named for legal reasons said "We have always known that it was not our shit manager, shit fans, shit stadium or our shit squad but it was all a big H*n conspiracy. We had no idea however that Tony Mowbray was involved, his style of passing the ball about for 90 minutes without winning anything is unmatched since Tommy passed away. Its ra pure celic way of playing football." In an EXCLUSIVE look behind the scenes at the establishment John Reid our annonymous source laid it all out on crayon for Daily Record HQ. View the EXCLUSIVE diagram below which lifts the lid on the Establishment: http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/152/establishment.jpg Sources at Ibrox yesterday were said to be too busy "pishing themselves laughing" to comment. Sources for her majesty Queen Elizabeth had the following statement to make:

An excellent bit of writing which will shortly be on the main site and Newsnow etc... Can't add nothing to it other than stressing again how important every SPL title has now become to our club. -
Thanks to OOA for the ratings... http://www.gersnetonline.co.uk/2010/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=201:st-mirren-0-2-rangers-player-ratings-and-mom-poll&catid=35:analysis&Itemid=67 I can't comment on the MOM having not seen the game so I'll let the fine folks of Gersnet do this for me!

Oh, nothing wrong with extracting the urine (I did it myself in the original post) but we need to keep our feet on the ground... Even if their latest Asian player can't...

We'll let Norris get the preview thread up please...

:D Not bad mate!

It was another agreeable Carlsberg evening in the SPL; with Rangers winning away and Celtic losing at home to widen the gap at the top of the table to ten points. With Rangers topping the SPL form table (the last six games are taken into account) and Celtic languishing behind Hearts, Hibs, Dundee Utd and Aberdeen in sixth position; it is no wonder many bears are getting excited about our SPL chances. While we've not had our player availibility worries to seek of late, key defender Bougherra will be back soon enough and with Mendes, Edu, Naismith, Beasley and Kris Boyd also all back from injury over the next fortnight, that is six important players to have back in the squad as we approach the business end of the season. While injuries shouldn't be used as an excuse for poor performance is has to be acknowledged as a contributory factor to our inconsistent form when we lose our two main strikers and several creative players. Hopefully that should change now and we can get back to our splendid form of late 2009. Looking back for a moment then and the December and January months are always an important period in terms of a successful campaign. Fourteen games over both months including European/domestic cup matches and an Old Firm game all contribute to a time where it is vital to gain as many points as possible. Despite three away matches against the other teams alongside us in the top four, we were the dominant team in December and, despite a less impressive January, we've improved upon our lead. A win on Saturday should see us keep that 7 point gap (even Celtic will surely beat Killie) in place ahead of a cup week break. Of course there is the small matter of the closing transfer window over the next four or five days. It seemed we'd maybe lose Mendes in particular but with the manager saying movement is unlikely in any direction (out with the unused Rothen); I think most of us will be comfortable enough with that. Certainly keeping guys like Bougherra, Davis and Boyd here until the summer at least is vital if we're to retain the title. Beyond that, no-one knows what will happen but a 53rd title will help our financial position hugely and hinder those from the East End who have spent in the region of �£10million this season on various unproven players and a manager who looks as if he'd rather be anywhere than the ever emptier Parkhead. Another CL experience for our club may also induce key players to stay and it will definitely help attract new players. Obviously the takeover situation will be an important factor in all of this as well. However, that is all a long, long way off. Season 2007/2008 saw us throw away a similar cushion to that we have now (under very testing circumstances to be fair) and Celtic also did the same last season. Therefore, the Rangers players and fans should be well aware of how slender our lead actually is. With more difficult matches ahead including another Old Firm match in a month's time, we cannot underestimate the challenge ahead. The art of counting chickens in football is a common one but we cannot relax enough to partake this early in the season. Nonetheless we're in a good position, deserve to be there and have the best squad in the SPL as it stands. It is up to the players to continue to prove that and the fans to support them ahead of what is going to be another roller-coaster ride!

Good analysis mate... We need to keep winning as this league is far from over.
-
Schoolmistress Bluedell won't take kindly to English lessons... I can see her strap and red pen already! :fish:
-
I'm not sure the likes of Paul Murray has �£5-8million to invest in Rangers and be an equal partner.
-
Ouch! :devil: To be fair to OOA (and others) we're all guilty of spreading the odd rumour and suggesting it is fact. Sh!t happens. However, we're not buying Rangers and we're not going to be responsible for a 135+ year old institution with millions of fans worldwide desperate to know what is happening and who to trust.
-
But, if we take your information at face value, he will be the majority shareholder as he's surely likely to be putting in most money? Again though, with respect, we're simply speculating about hearsay. While the information may be accurate, we need is much more clarity and leadership from everyone involved. Excuses about timing for example just don't cut it. If they have nothing to hide and are the best option then it is time to step forward and garner real support.
-
Yeah, there should be goals so we can only hope Hibs score more... Meanwhile, we have to go about our business properly!
-
The one thing that these informed people (and they are often correct to be fair) have been consistent about is that any takeover would probably happen early this year around January/February. Therefore, it could be this is the time King expects the charges against him to be dropped leaving him free to buy the club. However, this makes my points about King, Murray and Johnston already being involved with a struggling club even more valid.
-
Seems a bizarre coincidence and I certainly don't know anyone with the extra s. What also makes our representatives convinced that King, Murray and Johnston will be capable of turning round the club given (non-executive positions or not) they've contributed to the problems of the last decade? More so, when Johnston was quite clear in that he didn't think fan participation was agreeable?
