My opinion about the licence fee is a general one (in relation to the entire BBC output) but the way Rangers fans are treated was the straw that broke the camel's back, a year or so ago. McLaughlin commenced the stand-off with his ridiculous headline after our 6-2 victory at Easter Road. Rangers were correct to revoke his press privileges as a result. The situation has reached an impasse, with neither PQ or Rangers prepared to budge. This, combined with BBC and Ofcom's absolutely pitiful and dismissive handling of valid and reasonable complaints made by many Bears (myself and @ian1964 included), is what made me decide that there is only one useful course of action.

BSRT has summed it up but here's the criteria in more detail: A TV Licence is a legal permission to install or use television receiving equipment to watch or record television programmes as they are being shown on TV or live on an online TV service, and to download or watch BBC programmes on demand, including catch up TV, on BBC iPlayer. This could be on any device, including TVs, desktop computers, laptops, mobile phones, tablets, games consoles, digital boxes, DVD, Blu-ray and VHS recorders.

So it's our fault they've got a weekend off.

There's no requirement to pay it if you don't have the relevant equipment in your home. It's a personal choice but I will say, I feel far less agitated reading 26th's posts on here and hearing about Michael Stewart's Sportscene rants now that I am no longer contributing to the BBC coffers.

The article is spot on. The solution, from a supporter's point of view, is simple - don't fund the bastards.

I suppose so. And we mustn't forget his squad has been decimated by the SNP's agenda against him and also Andy Walker's hurtful comments regarding Dubai.

Nice of Pacific Quay CSC to give Saint Neil such an easy time of it.

Age and injuries are becoming a factor for a few of them. Aribo needs to show more consistency. Given the chat at the AGM, I'm expecting us to sell Kamara in the Summer. Zungu, so far, hasn't justified the fee required to sign him permanently. A lot will depend on CL qualification. There's a lot to think about but we have more pressing concerns just now.

One game at a time. Win. This is all the team needs to think about.

The whole thing stinks.

I thought it was a decent game to watch, despite the substandard finishing. Salah and Firmino were hopeless.

It'd be good if we could play through the middle a bit more. Too reliant on Barisic and Tav's crosses - which wasn't working well today. Aribo had a poor game and Kent was his usual self, with no real end product. Motherwell defended well. Just one of those days when things weren't really going our way.

I think some are overreacting. We're all over them.

Our crossing isn't up to the usual standard. Motherwell are defending superbly. We need to keep at it and be patient.

There does seem to have been a positive attitude shift this season, which has been demonstrated in our results and general demeanour. Tav is symbolic of this. We haven't won anything yet though, so that determination needs to remain.

I wouldn't pollute my house with that filth, so never know much about their matches unless they're playing the most successful club in the world.

They beat Lille, who are third in the French league. Not exactly box office stuff but I wouldn't call that an easy match.

Maybe we could appropriate the, "Squeal like a pig!" phrase from the film of the same name.

'Football is nothing without fans' says the big sign at Old Trafford. So why are they bothering to play the matches? Having never scored a goal in an important football match, I can't say how I would celebrate. I'll refrain from judging others, although the pre-planned celebrations are cringeworthy to watch. At least they still have the bloody awful music snippets to keep it real...Americanised shite.

I think we've done well without Jack. Davis, Kamara and Arfield or Aribo is a good fit. There are a lot of games coming up, against different types of opposition and we're going to need our full squad.

Twice he has came back from international duty and missed club matches, so it makes a difference to his employer and our team. I stand by my initial comment.

Unlikely, I'd say.

I wouldn't worry too much about Aberdeen fans bugging him, as lockdown is with us, in some shape or form, until the Summer.

Jolly good but that's besides the point. He'll have a longer career if he retires from it.

I wish Jack would quit international football. Another big game on Sunday. Fir Park is a tough place to go, so any kind of win will do. Hopefully Kent and Morelos continue last week's form and the defence remain hard to break. Mon The Rangers! ??
