Welcome to Gersnet mate. I agree the league should always take priority - especially when one considers the value of finishing first in terms of immediate qualification for the CL group stage. Not only does finishing 2nd in the league represent failure, having to play risky CL qualifiers is a genuine financial gamble. In fact, I don't see why European success (relatively speaking) and SPL success have to be mutually exclusive. We can and should be doing both. Time for us to start winning the league again. Anything else is unacceptable.

I'm the one criticising him. Not him or his form/contribution directly but just that we may benefit from not having to play so deep if we replaced him. I agree pace has never been his best asset but I'm just trying to be devil's advocate more than anything else with this article.... Heard the German lads name a few times now but I also don't know all that much about him. Certainly seems interesting enough though.

Hold on! What's this - criticism of one of our best players since January? Surely not! Let's take an analytical adventure of exactly why this fan feels it's time to replace the big man at the back. And where does German defender Frank Fahrenhorst fit into the equation? http://www.gersnetonline.net/newsite/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=562&Itemid=1

Great stuff Cammy... http://www.gersnetonline.net/newsite/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=561&Itemid=1

I think JCD is suffering from the Gersnet header curse....

Aye, with Bella Emberg...

Your wish is my command gents...

All decent points mate and ones which I can assure you we are working on....

Great news... It's usually only the very cream of the crop that get their initial full-time contracts extended. Let's hope he develops and gets the chance to deliver!

http://www.rangerssupporterstrust.co.uk/rstsite/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=158&Itemid=1 After another weekend where other clubs have shown they still appear to have the kind of problems only Rangers and their fans are criticised/disciplined for; the Trust feel we have to make public our frustration with several different footballing and governmental authorities. Over the last few months, the Trust has tried in vain to secure dialogue with various different authorities. The SFA, SPL, UEFA, the Scottish Executive, Nil by Mouth, Kick out Bigotry and Strathclyde Police have all been contacted in order to organise positive meetings with the Trust to discuss a wide range of issues. None have replied other than UEFA who feel the SPL/SFA should be doing more to work with us. In recent years the Rangers support has been magnificent in the way it has addressed the challenges it faces. With minimal constructive, financial or logistical help from any of the above publicly-funded organisations it has worked with Rangers FC to self-police and modernise for the future. The results have been admirable. The Rangers Supporters Trust has been at the forefront of this action and via several other initiatives (such as our recent innovative 'GersPride’ event) strives to examine our club and fans' attitudes as we move forwards. Our ever-increasing membership is testament to our progressive outlook so we were surprised and disappointed to find out no Scottish authority wants to engage with us to ensure our good work continues in the months and years ahead. Is the anti-sectarianism industry only limited to expensive stadium launches and media sound-bites or do the organisations involved really want to make a difference by working with the very people who have shown they can actually fix the problem?

http://www.rangerssupporterstrust.co.uk/rstsite/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=157&Itemid=1 The RST are delighted to announce that from this Saturday, December 1st 2007, we will be opening our very first shop. This will be located within the 'Wee Rangers Club', Edmiston Drive, Glasgow and open most Saturday match-days. The shop itself is downstairs next to the main hall and will be staffed from around 1pm till 2.30pm. A range of Trust merchandise will be available including memberships, RST T-Shirts and ties as well as tickets for all our social events. As well as our own items we're hoping to stock a number of external goods: fanzines, discounted Rangers DVDs and books (both cheaper than in the Rangers Shop or the High Street), WRC Hospitality and official match programmes. We'll also be inviting all of the various fan groups (TBO, CDL etc) to sell the very best of their stock. Furthermore, any time you have a question about RST activities, feel free to pop in and speak to the board members on duty. We'll try our best to help!

Could be the biggest move of his Korea for the lad... :fish:

No probs mate - I know you wouldn't slag off my survey making skills...

I'll see what I can do mate.... I remember Morton played in a tartan strip in the 90s. It was minging...

Aye, the poll is quite simplistic but it could be extended at some point...

We had hoops well before Celtic did.... I'd love to see us bring out a hooped away shirt. Would be really interesting not that it would look very good on my pleasantly plump frame...

Rangers mate... As much as I'd love the Trust to decide the strip design that ain't going to happen...

http://www.rangerssupporterstrust.co.uk/rstsite/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=156&Itemid=1 Once again the Trust has another interesting competition for our members. We have two copies of two different books up for grabs. First up is: * SILVER SMITH: THE BIOGRAPHY OF WALTER SMITH BY NEIL DRYSDALE Walter Smith is one of the most successful and respected managers in the history of Scottish football. At Rangers he helped them to nine successive league titles, a domestic treble in the 1992-93 season and both the Scottish Cup and League Cup three times. At international level he restored pride and faith in a faltering national team, being named Scot of the year in the 2006 Glenfiddich ââ?¬Ë?Spirit of Scotlandââ?¬â?¢ awards. But half-way through the qualifying rounds for Euro 2008, he controversially resigned to return to Rangers. From the Ibrox Disaster, to his days as a professional player and on to a dramatic future, this is the story of a man driven by a passion for perfection and success. Hardback Ã?£16.99 ISBN 978 1 84158 629 8 Next we have: * RANGERS: 100 HEROES OF THE MODERN GAME BY DEAN HAYES From Willie Waddell to Barry Ferguson, Rangers: 100 Heroes of the Modern Game is a fascinating compendium of facts and figures and a superb tribute to the men who have brought skills, thrills and glory to Rangers Football Club in the modern era. All the great players since 1946 are here, including Ally McCoist, Jim Baxter, Graeme Souness, Paul Gascoigne, Andy Goram, Brian Laudrup and many, many more. Each player is profiled with detailed statistics given on every aspect of their careers. Meticulous research, perceptive analysis and vivid storytelling make this a must-have for any Rangers fan. Hardback, Ã?£12.99 ISBN 978 1 84183 125 1 Both books available from http://www.birlinn.co.uk, free p&p in the UK - for overseas please add 30%.

Ah, had a wee look into that for you yesterday Ian... Go to Internet Explorer > Tools> Manage add-ons and disable (as a test) any add-ons not from Microsoft. If any third-party stuff is causing the problem that should fix it. Better off using Firefox anyway...
