I' just like to say a word of thanks to @craig for not fucking up the Celtic result this week.?

I can't be doing with this pussy-footing around - the guilty parties should be named and shamed. ?

OK what's the protestant team in India?

The parallels between SPFL/SFA, ScotGov and a Roman religious cult are significant. Automatic dishonesty, shameless denial, inherent skullduggery, etc, etc

It has nothing to do with Neil Lennon. I prefer to see it as God's judgement on their refusal to accept any responsibility for decades of child abuse.

I wouldn't put Maradona in the top five in my lifetime. It's all about opinions and mine is that (in no particular order) Pele, Messi, Zidane, Cruyff, Ronaldo, Maldini, Zico .... all better.

I mean, really, who subscribes to Premier Sports?

Amen to that. There were times I wondered if I'd ever see the good times again and there's no way I'm going to waste one minute of this by fretting over trivial issues. One day soon we're going to see silverware lifted by a Rangers captain and "the journey" will be over. And you know the best thing ? All those bastards who tried to do us down will be there to watch us arrive.

What a shocker - we're not perfect. Whisper it, we sometimes make mistakes. There is no absolute in football, only progress and improvement, a moment's success or failure. Everything is only ever relative. We're a better team than we were, we play better football than we did, we're a better team than Celtic, we're an inferior team to Liverpool, we need to be an even better team next season. We'll never be perfect, we'll always make mistakes and accepting that allows us to focus on the bigger picture and remain positive about games like last night. What we're achieving in Europe since Gerrard arrived is beyond spectacular for a club with our budget. Now we're starting to see the same progress domestically. So when we lose a couple of goals to one of Europe's really big spenders, am I disappointed? Or am I basking in the warm glow of success and thinking back to a no-scoring draw at Montrose at the start of this journey. Frankly, any Rangers supporter who isn't enjoying every morsel of this revival needs to seek urgent therapy.

Another bloody plastic pitch Falkirk 0 Rangers 2 Fgs - Defoe

Every game I'm left in wonder at how far we've come in the last couple of years - as a team, as a club. Pride, relief, joy ... it's all there

It's been a while since I even thought of voting for Morelos. This time it was an irresistible choice. He was just superb.

The SPFL continues to issue statements as if there was still someone in the country who trusted them.

That sort of thing makes more sense to me although I suspect some players did lose momentum during the time spent in Dubai. Perhaps the coaching staff saw it as an opportunity to "fix" a few things and only managed to confuse a settled regime. Because some players like Kamara and Davis could hardly stumble through a game after New Year.

I don't think anyone would argue that we've twice come back from the break a poorer side. However, I struggle to see the basis for a cause-and-effect argument. Surely simply taking a break can't make a team play more poorly. There has to be more to it than that.

Maradona was a very good football player by any measure you want to apply to a footballer, except maybe longevity or the basic sporting principle of fair play. However, to use epithets like "genius" is just nonsense, the sort of cheap currency that's traded in tabloids the world over. James Clerk Maxwell was a genius, Nikola Tesla was a genius, Maradona wasn't.

Spontaneous laughter

We do seem to like our myths and legends. In these difficult times they give us all something to believe in.

I'm so glad Sheridan is one of them. It maintains a certain order in the cosmos.

Wonder what the deal is with Jack and Zungu? Hopefully not Covid related

That's the spirit .... whisky? ? ?

Played 15, won 13, lost 0, GD 38. I’m struggling to see where it is we’re going to improve because this is as near perfect as anyone will see from Rangers this season.

All I'm saying is that last season, as well as the five mentioned above, we also had Davis, McGregor, Morelos, Jack, Arfield, Aribo ..... and I just wondered if any of them featured in the top five then. That's all really.

Terrific stuff. i wonder how this has changed since last season because all the top contenders this time were also here throughout last season.

Just throwing crumbs on the ground to see who picks them up ?
