  1. This is actually fkin criminal. As if it wasn’t hard enough to qualify through 4 knock out rounds for the Europa league, they are now basically taking 50% of the groups out & putting them in this Conference league. It will still almost be impossible for the likes of Hearts, Hibs & Aberdeen to get into this 3rd division. It would be hard enough for Rangers (though if we did qualify, we would have a realistic chance of winning the thing). Basically it is designed so celtic get into the Europa league, and Rangers can’t. Almost as if Peter Lawwell was involved in designing it..
  2. If this was in place this season, Rangers would have no access to the Europa league group stages at all! Maybe this should be moved to the Rangers Chat section?? Good news is, thanks to us the Scottish co-efficient is going back up, so the SPFL runners up -should - still get a shot at qualifying for the Europa league. Anyway we will no doubt be champions by next season..
  3. RIP Fernando, who battled MND but ultimately in vain. Nobody has ever survived this terrifying disease, although some like Sir Stephen Hawking have lived with it into their 70s. There is no cure for this disease. There is no cure for Aids either, yet thanks to billions of pounds of scientific research HIV sufferers can now expect to lead normal lives & drugs can delay the effects of the disease indefinitely. It is time the same level of funding was put into fighting MND. Donate here - https://www.mndscotland.org.uk/fundraising/make-a-donation/
  4. And his biggest trick was pretending that he wasn’t good in the air..
  5. Was that not a tap-in after their keeper threw it against a defender who wasn’t looking?

    Penalty rule

    It does matter, but he never gave a free kick anyway. Too right he has been ‘got at’ like every other ref in Scotland. On twitter, I saw the Record hotline. All about how Dallas should never ref another Gers game because he chopped off a ‘perfectly good’ St Johnstone goal & gave us one that was offside! Bringing up the St Mirren game last season. Blatant lies, yet the Record print it. You could see Dallas pause momentarily, he knew it was a pen but simply bottled it. There is an orchestrated campaign against match officials in this country by Celtic, & they know exactly what they are doing. Time RFC called this out!!
  7. Special mention for the time Souness benched him, but he came on as a sub against title-chasing Aberdeen at Ibrox. He scored 2, one a sensational overhead kick! Yet Jim Bett scored 2 to earn a draw for the sheep..
  8. McCoist was actually under-rated, easily the greatest Scottish striker of all time. Genuinely world class. Yet because he spent most of his career here, & maybe because he was always seen as a joker, I don’t think he got global recognition. 2 golden boots in succession ffs! I used to go to Scotland games, and in 10 ‘away’ games I only saw Scotland score one goal! So I vote for that one, in a 1-0 win over Switzerland in the Euro 96 finals at Villa Park..

    Penalty rule

    They are making it up as they go now. When did they have different rules for attackers & defenders?? VAR is meaning that different rules are being applied at different levels of the game. It needs scrapped!
  10. Sorry but I’m not comfortable with our current manager playing against any Rangers team. Also think £15 is about a fiver too dear for a ticket..
  11. I see they have moved this fixture back again, from Saturday 12th to Tuesday 29th October, just like they moved the Ballymena game to midweek. I’d have thought a few hundred Gers fans would have made this trip at least, on the original date of the international weekend. Does anybody know why our Challenge Cup fixtures keep getting moved??
  12. Only problem here is, every western government would agree with Fifa. Every modern liberal democracy punishes offensive verbal abuse more severely than actual physical assaults. Indeed UEFA only brought in these sanctions to satisfy the media/government establishment, and indeed they are still under pressure as the media say the sanctions against racism aren’t severe enough.
  13. Good read, to see a foreigner’s view of us. What country does the internet suffix ‘ae’ relate to?
  14. Do Feyenoord get fined for this guy’s antics last night?? Do Rangers??? Genuine question..
  15. Interesting debate re. politics of CoS. I attend my local kirk most weeks. Does that make me a ‘member?’ I certainly have never been asked to vote on anything..
  16. RIP Fernando. His bravery while fighting this terrifying disease for 6 years will be his legacy, even with his trophy laden football career. MND is one of the few diseases left which mankind has developed no cure or treatment for. It’s time that changed!
  17. Still our all-time top scorer in the Champions League!
  18. Underestimated their manager, maybe. In fact he might be a good shout for either of those teams’ manager’s jobs, if they come up..
  19. Defoe seems to have been assigned as his mentor. What a great role model, even growing up in Colombia he must have been a fan of the England star!
  20. Of course, if part of his remit was to sell players then he didn’t do so well. Or maybe he would have got a cut of any fees for eg Morelos, & wasn’t happy we never sold him. Its all pointless speculation, but be interesting to see where he goes next..
  21. When you think about it, its incredible he knocked that back to play for us in the Europa league. He must love it up here!
  22. I understand why we are pursuing this, however the best way to deal with these idiots is and always has been to ignore them. They are attention seekers. Guaranteed there will be loads more neds copying this now. And personally I would just rather not see these retweets on my timeline. It certainly wouldn’t do Fernando any favours if he sees this.
  23. Not all his signings were great, but overall this is a blow. The statement seems to confirm there are no ill wishes. Still, there was a time when managers used to sign players themselves..
  24. We see continually that public bodies are no longer interested in appearing impartial. These institutions now let (usually left wing) political bias affect their decision making at every level. This is not a conspiracy, it is happening today at every level across all UK public bodies.
