Desmond's overconfidence and cost-cutting got Lennon the job. That's the crux of it from their point of view. I don't think many Rangers fans would have predicted we'd go undefeated in the league. Bit of a double whammy.

I'm sure I read that Arsenal were also using EBTs or something similar. I got the impression HMRC were trying to make an example of Rangers.

The BBC article on Mark Walters has an interesting first paragraph (the only one that appears when you first click the link). https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000wjpb/mark-walters-in-the-footsteps-of-andrew-watson?xtor=CS8-1000-[In_Article_Promo_Box]-[Sport_Promo_In_Article]-[Sport_Promo_In_Article_BBCiPlayer]-[PS_IPLAYER~~m000wjpb~MarkWaltersInTheFootstepsOfAndrewWatson] "Documentary in which former Rangers player Mark Walters looks back at the racism he received playing for the club." Reading that, one wouldn't know the racism was from yahoos and the rest.

Any word on the petrol bomb perpetrator?

Guardiola was entirely at fault for that result. Not starting Fernandinho and starting Sterling is why City lost. Bizarre decision making.

Kemar Roofe's unbelievable strike wins. Well deserved! https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/0269-1262aa7b4762-2894442e5195-1000--europa-league-top-ten-goals/?fbclid=IwAR2Su9hR2DLAV8OaAmGRVUUUpK-FKIp7mlWT4KZH7sJZDD0OPIkVAYl_NLI&iv=true

If Sterling starts, City will lose 1-0. If he's on the bench, they'll win 2-0.

Bassey is our second choice left back. Whether he's good enough or not is another issue (I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt).

The views from the Club Deck, nearer the front, are quite good but I prefer to be close to the pitch. The best view at Ibrox is from the Govan Rear, front and central. It's perfect.

Ibrox is currently about the right size. There's no money for any grand refurb job, as things stand anyway. Little bits, here and there is how it'll go. I'd rather we focus on fielding a winning side. The last time we demolished stands we waited a while for a league win.

Craig will have to provide us with inside info on the general football forum from now on.

Demolishing the main stand and building a three tier super stand would be like dumping Brigitte Bardot to go out with Katie Price.

The mini-me part of our (soon to be) coalition government want to remove gender/sex from birth certificates, so it might all be a moot point in a few years, if people keep voting in this manner.

No, he's a Hibs fan, so I told him to f*ck off.

Strangely, I don't mind Savage much. He's a bit more down to earth than some of them and he regularly rips into Sutton.

I dunno but I used to work with an openly racist bloke who said he was voting to stay in the EU because he'd rather have a Polish person than an African wiping his bum when he ends up in a care home.

From what I gather, increased seating will be mainly focused on hospitality and there won't be any significant changes to the overall capacity. The new Bar72 will probably give the club a good guide on demand for that type of thing (I just hope anyone priced out can still get a seat elsewhere).

There's a justifiable arrogance when it comes to English club sides, granted. Paul Scholes really over-egged it though - he made it sound like it was going to be a piece of piss for the rags. Hopefully City rub salt into their wounds on Saturday night.

I recall Villarreal were unable to beat us in last season's EL group matches. Always enjoyable to watch the Stretford team lose out on trophies - horrible club. The pre-match feel from BT was that Man Utd already had the thing won, which seems to be a regular problem for English pundits/commentators.

Nice to see the hippy nationalist, nanny state fanatics being hoist by their own shoogly petard.

Mackay's dodgy texts made derogatory comments about Jews, the Chinese and referred to a list of potential signings as lacking 'white faces' (as well as some generic sexism). At no point did he single out the Slavs. Regarding Kudela, I suspect his career will now take a steep downward trajectory, as a result of his stupid behaviour.

The Beatles have split up.

£1,690 you say? ?

In my lifetime, I think Rangers played our best football under Advocaat - those first two seasons we looked incredible. Given the finances available to him and his ability to bring in Dutch talent, that shouldn't be surprising and as Bill said, we probably should have done better, albeit our showings in Europe were decent.

I reckon the rags will win 3-0 but hope I'm wrong.
