Gonzo79

It was stated recently he won't be back until January, so it's unlikely we'll see him in December.

The videos of the 'fake fans' hired by the Qataris are most amusing. Hopefully there's some decent football on show - I doubt the group stages will be of much interest but it'll get better as the tournament progresses.

He wasn't in great form prior to the injury. He is a real talent but I'm not sure where he fits into the team. GvB will probably stick him or Tillman on the right (both are wasted there).

Combined with the injuries, I think we'd be down to about four available players. 😀

You can have a drink with workmates and also work hard - the two aren't exclusive. However, I do think a lot of the core values aren't what they used to be. More of a facade than anything of substance nowadays.

Stuff watching that. Staring out the window at the pouring rain would be less depressing.

Perhaps. Whatever Rangers once stood for has been diluted significantly due to various factors. Values no longer truly matter in the world of commerce.

I think we've gone beyond being able to repair our 'brand' reputation in Scotland. Too many enemies around to fix (or bother fixing) it. In England, I don't think they care much at all about Scottish football and the same goes for Europe. We're an irrelevance. It is what it is. The club tick the relevant boxes and the support have improved in many respects but with such big crowds, there will always be the occasional incident. We have been too ready to accept accusations, as a club and a support, without fighting back and that has partly lead us to where we are today. And Alex Ferguson is a bitter old git, who has never forgiven the club for his sharp exit.

We can't rely on Jack and Lundstram has been average this season.

Social media. Rarely hear stuff like this on supporters buses or in pubs.

Aye. This board are good at keeping things quiet but not that good.

There's only one statement I want them to make but the longer we don't get it, the more I think GvB will still be manager when league fixtures recommence.

Qatar 0 - 2 Ecuador England 2 - 0 Iran Senegal 0 - 2 Netherlands USA 1 - 1 Wales Argentina 3 - 0 Saudi Arabia Denmark 1 - 0 Tunisia Mexico 1 - 0 Poland France 3 - 0 Australia Morocco 0 - 1 Croatia Germany 3 - 1 Japan Spain 3 - 0 Costa Rica Belgium 2 - 0 Canada Switzerland 1 - 0 Cameroon Uruguay 1 - 0 South Korea Portugal 1 - 0 Ghana Brazil 3 - 0 Serbia - JOKER

The board coming out and backing him might be seen as a vote of confidence scenario. And we know how those usually end up. One wonders what Park and co are thinking just now, certainly...

Friendlies are usually a good opportunity to see new players, in warmer weather, at the start of the season. If we don't get a new manager in, there can't be much of an appetite to attend, particularly with Christmas and the cost of living situation at present. Definitely 'No' from me, as things stand.

The correct term has already been coined - it's 'selectarianism' and it's prevalent thanks to Scotland's ruling party sharing a similar anti-British outlook to their best mates, Sinn Fein. I have accepted that as long as Scots keep voting for this nationalist cult, it will only get worse.

Wish the WC lasted a lot longer, in all honesty. A few weeks off from watching Rangers feels like a relief.

People are just making stuff up. Unless someone official says something, I'm ignoring it.

With the WC looming and inaction from the board, it's only going to get worse. Understandably, people are frustrated at the situation.

If social media is anything to go by, they'll have no choice but to sack themselves. 😆

I doubt he'll be gone before January. The board will be hoping they can ride this one out but surely they can see what everyone else can (a hopeless manager overseeing a stuttering mess)!?

There are more problems than just the manager but I don't think there's much doubt that he isn't getting the best out of the squad. We need a new manager but we need more football savvy people higher up the chain too. I get the impression a few people at Ibrox are just winging it and have no clearly defined strategy. Wilson and Robertson are the two that immediately spring to mind.

Never a truer word spoken.

It'd be nearly as unusual as paying attention to Tweets by people looking for attention. There'll be no press conference tomorrow but the Tweeter will get new listeners on his Podcast.

I've voted for Robbie Ure. No real reason that I can think of, other than he spent the least amount of time on the park.
