i've said before that the only way murray will turn us around is as a matter of pride. just reading an article from a while ago by spiers of all people who was, at his house, goading him about rangers then current goalkeeping crisis (charbonnier's injury), when he picked up the phone in the middle of the night grinning and called a top german goalkeeper saying that he had outlined terms and would be in contact with him soon. he ended up going one better and getting klos. but there was an arrogance about him, and a passion. we seem still to have the arrogance but not the passion. perhaps when his ego gets sufficiently dented we'll see that return.

ah, but in murrayworld, do you not think that the "europe after christmas" and, perhaps, one cup win will constitute success in a rebuilding stage? enough to convince himself and the fans that we're "going in the right direction" and the like. if celtic strengthen in the summer and have total dominance next season the problem is just put off till next year, probably with a chairman-to-manager buck-passing. something like paul and mr murray agreeing by mutual consent that while he is a great manager, the spl is not for him, and leaving on those terms. i dunno. i do see what you're saying, and i wish i could believe it would force his hand, but i just dont.

aye, i know man, but i'm not sure what makes now different than, say, two days ago, or a month ago. we've been playing second fiddle to celtic for years now and he's managed to keep "us" all convinced that he's the right man for the job. i dont see that celtic getting through to the latter stages (and strengthening accordingly) is going to force his hand any more than finishing third in the league, or having the worst start to a league in 20 years. even with these two things happening he's said he wont significantly strengthen, i dont see that celtic getting through to the final stages is going to force his hand. as much is i would like to. maybe i'm just too cynical. you're clearly right, in that if his promises were true, this would motivate him. but i dont see any reason as to why he'll do it this time ahead of any other time.

i honestly think if he was going to invest serious cash he would have done it by now.
-
ah. so this is how it usually works out.
-
i would definitely get into betting if i could be sure i would win more often than lose.
-
agree with your analysis. lennon will have to be at his best not to have a torrid time. i would like a resounding man u win, but celtic are, no doubt, a decent side at home.

the bigotry in these rangers songs is abhorrant. nbm where are you when neded?
-
know nothing about betting, but this looks solid to me. a tenner on that pays out 143? thats class.
-
i only seen clement give the ball away once on sunday.
-
this is true.
-
yes, but the "lack of singing" problem is also worse among the travelling support (oooh, a double negative).
-
i think you should post that in response to their article.

aye, my objection to neilson isn't anything other than the fact he's a horrible football player. he got sent off three games in a row at the beginning of the season, i think, and was made to look like a right eejit by left wingers four games in a row (that i seen). i think even calling him a footballer is to overstretch the definition of the word.

same old story, unfortunately. -
please not neilson.

i dont think its so much that they think xa and fl are better (surely not!), but that they just cant play out wide.
-
to be fair, we dont know all the facts.
-
for you lazy people.
-
moved it over to 'footie chat'.
-
ah right. get you now.
-
so true. even our own fans believe this! sad days.
-
they are still contracted for a long while, apparently. i remember reading that big tony m's legacy to hibs was getting all the promising youngsters tied up on long contracts.
-
yeah, but it also doesn't mean that just because we can change, we should. there's arguments on both sides, is my point. this is what annoys me. i've never been to a minute's silence at ibrox that hasn't been perfectly observed. we get enough of a bad press from the media without people like you, rangers fans, falsely believing that there are idiots at ibrox who spoil the minutes silences for the family.

wow. those comments are driiiiiping was sarcasm.
