its a horrible shame i think. we have a large number of very loyal fans over there and its a fitting reward to have a game on their patch. sad days, but probably necessary.

... but am just about to watch it on rangers TV. can hardly wait! (i do realise commentary on my life isnt enough to start a thread really, but it also reminds you its just coming on!)

dont worry craig - when we have a gersnet dinner, we'll make gazza run a gommy for standing you up. men these days, just no consideration.

fraser can be voted for! he can be voted for or the server dies! i didnt vote for him though

not really an issue of logic, that, i dont think. its a matter of experience, or investigation. moreso its an issue of language. you could buy the best players from every team and still have an 'average' side. taken purely logically you would have an 'above average' side (at best), but if there isn't a big difference between the best and worst players then logic proves useful, as usual, only in theory. and this is what cammy and co are arguing. that despite these players being largely better than their teammates, then are not good enough to bring us significantly above the other teams. this isn't a matter of logic, this is a matter of experience. and this is where the debate must take place - in arguing whether bringing the best of a bad bunch will make us significantly better than the rest of the bunch. so lets leave jibes about logic out of it, because its of no use here - its simply a creating a strawman of their argument to knock down. its playing on two senses of the word 'average' to your gain. incidentally, i agree with you that naismith would be a good signing. better than the likes gribz, unfathombly in my mind, favours. but making this an issue of logic simply is illogical in this case.

see frankie, i told you these mods were planning a coup! :uzi: :uzi:

what as econd goal.

fraser can be nominated for best newcomer. if yeez want.

thomson cant play left mid can he?

speaking to a celtic fan today who argued (succesfully i think) that nl had actually had a rough time from the tabloids. while he agreed that some issues over reported (death threat), and some under reported (spitting on scarf etc) - usually related to the bigotry issue - and that the media had vastly overplayed celtic fans reaction to neil lennon - booing etc.

you may be right. but he looks decidely flap-prone to me. he doesn't inspire confidence. and he's not young!

agreed on all accounts.

he would be an excellent signing, imho. an oustanding young prospect.

Novo's been a fairly regular goalscorer when played through the middle.

100% agreed. not only the best rangers goal, but one of the best ever.

4-0 win at the weekend for plg.

but back in the day you supported team primarily vocally, now they want all your money as well. when that happens its natural to start wanting something in return. if you're treated like a customer, you expect to be treated like one, if you know what i mean.

agreed - as much as he's a good player, i think he's more exactly the kind of individual we need. a strong, decent, and dependable character. a winner.

thats maybe why you cannae see it!

If you give Frankie your fullname etc he should be able to get it for you.

heh. good stuff. feeling physically threatened is a mad feeling at the best of times, but feeling physically threatened in a foreign country's the very apotheosis of that madness. its strange, its quite fun actually. i remember i was in paris, at this extremely dodgy bit outside a modern art gallery. there was a square and there were lots of very aggressive beggars. anyway, i made the error of trying to buy a bit of dope. after a bit i got it, and as soon as i'd bought (a polis with a gun walked by and just ignored it!) he pointed to his eyes then across the square. lots of gangs of black boys were, at his fingers edge and across the the line of sight, closing in. my mate and i done the joe the toff and were thoroughly chased. we darted across an insanely busy road just before a pile of traffic and found some of the lassie's at a gay pride cafe (???), gave the dope to them and generally hid for the rest of the day till we left the place. its mad, the phsyiognomy of fear in a place you dont know is a mad exhilerating experience i think. anyway.

EXCELLENT WORK! it would be nice to have a gersnet analysis on the article and the media response.

cheers for that pete. points well made - i dont think we're too far apart.

think he's pals with baxter, henderson etc.
