Good to know mate, thanks Of course, of course. *nudge nudge wink wink and a funny handshake*.

It's about two secs from me and the guy up the stairs is a Celtic supporter. Irresponsible to jump conclusions, but it was clearly him.

glass is definitely half full - of title winning champagne wouldnt count on us to not throw it away, he said covering his jinxes, but their elation to despair is almost a title win in itself

man, nothing has happened. you said "thats disrespectful", i said "its not really", and you said "if its not disrespectful its just not right" and that was that. just like any other thing. no big deal.

Ithink you would have to be looking for it to find it. He was clearly just saying how good he thought he was, and it was maybe more disrespectful to read him uncharitably. Thats like being a fan of Boyd and saying because he hasnt done well in big games in europe its disrespectful to the premiership to think, as I do, he could walk into most teams down there. If he had said "he certainly much better than the crap we have" it would be fair, but he gave good reasons about his positive attributes and what they are; if he is right, the very thing our midfield has been lacking. Thats like saying the causes of noses are spectacles. His being at Hamilton doesnt prove he couldnt walk into our first team, it only proves he is still at Hamilton. Its only his ability that determines if he can make and improve a first team. JB seemed to be saying he thinks he has that ability, and its not disrespectful to say so. I dont think in this financial climate we should be gambling on unproven players, though, but thats not to say they couldnt be stars.

How can it be disrespectful to say you think a player is better than the players we have? He is clearly impressed with him as a player, having watched him, and even said that his movement and positional sense were the particular things that we would benefit from; how can you turn that into having a dig at the team?

Aye, the idea that we'd run over to get the ball from the ball-boy also struck me as a little bit unrealistic.

Very funny.... I see what you did there...... RELEASE THE HOUNDS! :devil:

There's been lots of talk about our needing more creativity; first time passing, movement into space, easy options for the player on the ball. Individual skill is in short supply, and it seems as if we don't have the money to change it and become a chance-creating team. Scouting systems will take years to implement. There is, however, an answer: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF5qPOa-qag&feature=player_embedded]YouTube- ball boy assist for a goal - ???? ??????? ?? ????? ???? ????[/ame] A team of well trained ball boys at child labour wages. Problem solved. :spl:

Raul, Larrson, Van Nistelrooy - any top striker who predominantly plays on the shoulders of defenders, and not dribbling at them. There are loads of this sort. Most of the sort who are any good at dribbling aren't out and out strikers - Ibrahimovic, Rooney etc. That's why when you rarely get someone who can do both consistently - the weird-toothed Ronaldo, arguably Eto etc - they're most exciting. Cousin only very occasionally beat a man. He would out run or muscle them before getting a shot away - as I'm sure Boyd can do, the memory of him lifting it over the dude's head and rattling it across goal a few games ago springs to mind - but not run at them at beat them.

I think he's done that pretty well recently. As good as Miller and/or anyone else e have. Most strikers cant do that. Not even all the very top ones. Just dont think we have enough evidence to decide about that.
-
McLeish was the first of the cutbacks managers. He seems to have done pretty well since leaving Rangers, signings included. Just hard to know what the contraints were like at Ibrox then, thinking of what we've learned in the years following. From Advocaat to McLeish the whole size of the club changed, but not the expectations.

The Rangers AGM - The More People Talk, the Less They Say
bmck replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
I dont know (and am still not sure why its important), but it doesnt seem ridiculous for king to leave that line in, even if its not fact. Like anything else, he has deadlines and its not inconceivable he either didnt notice it, or didnt think it was worth the effort to get it changed.- 23 replies

I'm not sure, but that you have the feeling is incontestible.

The question is not whether Murray is in control - as if you're telling us something new, and we don't realise he owns the entire club - but whether it's a good thing that he is. We're Rangers supporters, not Murray-supporters.

I don't think many people are denying Murray's awesome at interviews; he's just distinctly less awesome at running football clubs. It's about whether you get your opinion on him from his words or his actions. I wouldn't be suprised if you were right and he's still well in control, which inspires my awe in him as a businessman - as a Rangers supporter, I'm much less impressed.

I dont think they are being portrayed as the bad guys. Using your own words, at the point where facts become opinions, the people who saw it as an attempt to undermine the chairman think of it as a coup, whereas yourself, presumably, and others who also post here and whose opinions get a fair hearing, saw it as an opportunity to ensure the trust kept within its rules. The reason you will find the former being more widely discussed is because they came out and said it, wheras the latter, like yourself until now, kept quiet about it. Chinese whispers only exist when people, for whatever reason, decide not to speak clearly for everyone to hear. All the whys etc are the debate we are having. Glad you made your first post, and if you want your username changed we can sort that for you

You are wrong, which really tells the whole story of this debate. People deciding how much and what should have been said or not said before even knowing what was said. A whole ten seconds of digging uncovered: "What followed was essentially a coup d’Ã?©tat to ensure the control and/or removal of the senior office holders by the faction detailed above" resignees statement

I might be naive, but i still dont get why people think resigning because you felt the trust was taken over by a coup is not opening up. What more is it people could conceivably want? The statement outlined the mechanism, the motivation, and what happened afterwards with the abuse etc. I think people enjoy the feeling they are being lied to, and getting to indignation when they dont get every little sordid detail that would make their heart content. Its absurd.

Ehm. OK. resigning over a coup is bullshit in your universe? holding out for a raping or something?
