every team in the league, in almost all the leagues, is going for the treble at this time of the season. it's too soon. it's a consolation if you go out before january, but not before the season starts.
-
^ your joking, surely. who gets to go?
-
it was coming. utterly disgusting. after walter's many early european exists, i never thought we'd go out to a team of this poor quality.
-
its been said before, but there's no reasons why we should think good players automatically turn into amazing youth coaches. drastic stuff is needed, but that's pointless.
-
i agree with the sentiments too. i think our culture as a whole is getting more cynical and reactionary. the internet gives everyone a voice, and most people use it to moan. i think you should be polemic, man, dont be constrained. what i was getting at really is that forums provide two functions: debate and venting. there's a lot of reason to be negative, so negativity shouldn't be cast out altogether. but, like you, my personal opinion is that unrestrained negativity is a pain in the arse. so keep challenging it, there's no bother with that. just a tangent.

maybe we're just going to pay cash

^ cal, i see your point, but forums are, in a sense, about venting as well as discussion. they get to vent, you get to say "we should be more positive" and it all goes along. the reason you'll find a lot of people are so negative is because people think about them in the way you describe - if you've got an emotional sort of investment in anything, you're more likely to suspend rationality and ride the peaks and troughs and keep everything very much out of perspective. people need an opportunity to do that; though that doesn't mean that if you've heard too much of it you should keep quiet. so, it's not a criticism, i think you've just to take a quite broad view about what a forum's about so that you don't start curtailing too many avenues of thought and the people that think along them. so long as everyone realises that whatever they say is fair game to be debated/agreed with etc, it's all good.

cheers lads!

anyone know?

i'm with bluedell. simply the best is a bit tacky, and it's a sign that the club is trying to appease the support, imho.
-
as hard as it is to disagree with fraser on this - young players should be gently introduced to a winning side ihmo - they simply cant be worse than what we have at the moment. any kind of energy or will to go forward would improve our midfield.

Guys, I was trying to fix the annoying "phrase is missing" errors that appear everywhere (logging in etc) and broke the whole site temporarily. All is well now, and the problem itself is fixed. Sorry for the downtime - I realise it was about an hour or so. Cheers. Barry

right, enough of this. you've got a chance to argue your point, and all you seem to be interested in doing is making disparaging remarks. debate's fine - argued points, but not insults. if the sum total of your argument is just to be sarcastic, you can take it elsewhere. we need people who'll take different stances, but it helps none of us if it degenerates into name calling.
-
^ what would you change? its easy to point out mediocrity; more easy than to change it.
-
i definitely dont agree, but it's a thought out counter argument. accepting your lot no matter how shit stuff, historically, is how the baddies maintain the status quo
-
nae bother pal. have fun.

"i might call other supporters cunts, but i never boo a player". you're all moral virtue "buddy". in your few posts here you've managed to call your fellows supporters idiots and clowns. if you cant make an argument civilly, you can happily move along. there's nothing tights in a twist about asking people to be civil. if you're not up to it, and feel oppressed by it, there's a nice cross in top right of your screen. choices is yours.
-
we're not really fans of slating players or board members, here mate. so, if you're not going to condescend to give reasons, do give it a rest.
-
aye, i really agree. everything in society is more cynical than it was too. the papers used to think that making everything massive and exciting sold more. i think now that they realise people prefer moaning to joy: they sell sarcasm, and cynicism. as recession-lite is kicking in, it's, in real terms, costing your average fan more to follow rangers, and they barely hear a person at ibrox who sounds enthusiastic about our future. the reason they cant sound enthusiastic is the same sobriety brought on by a precarious financial climate. all in all, people reflect the times, but i agree that we all have it in us to stand more upright, and use the harshness of the times merely as extra contrast to our enthusiasm.
-
negative atmospheres dont arise out of nothing, even though it usually ends up displaying as disproportionate moaning, it's usually not without cause. though i hate the term, there's no feel-good-feeling at ibrox just now, and it's not just the fans. everything has been subdued with every statement seemingly designed to lower expectation. i dunno. i definitely agree that while it is nowhere as bad as the comments you see, that these comments exist at all shows how little it feels like we're progressing at all.

Jeroen van den Broeck has completed his move from Rangers to AGOVV in Holland. The attacking midfielder has signed a contract with the Eerste Divisie outfit after a successful trial period. He has already been allocated the number 24 shirt for the new season after convincing the Apeldoorn club he was worth taking on. The 19-year-old failed to make a single first team appearance at Ibrox and has previously undergone a trial with Brugge. The Gers snapped the Belgian up after spotting him playing amateur football in Spain. === i didnt know anything about the boy - anyone ever seen him?
-
this happens too much to be bad luck. it happened all the time under walter last time too.
-
i think it'll be interesting to see who the people who dont want boyd to play think will be the top goal scorer. he hardly played last season and won it. that's the thing about it all - he scores so much that i'm sure any honest boyd-dislikerer will still think he will be the top scorer, but it's still not enough. and it's hard to disagree that he doesnt do enough either.
-
that's some amount of strikers to have without having one creative midfielder.

wait till you read his comedy review of each weekend of fitbaw during the season!
