Suppose it could be worse. Link: http://www.sportinglife.com/football/overseas/france/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/06/11/22/SOCCER_Rangers.html&TEAMHD=france

This is the kind of game made for Buffel. I think he'll start with Buffel, Novo and Prso and bring Boyd on later.

Young boy from Kilmarnock, Steven Naismith. Link: http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=430511&CPID=14&clid=1&lid=&title=Gers+confirm+Naismith+interest Good one if it comes off imo.

Having watched Sellik V Manure last night, one thing struck me when comparing it to the Rangers V Hearts match last Sunday. Nobody could deny that both games were dire adverts for the game. On Sunday, it looked to me like only one team were interested in playing football and that was Rangers. We got our deserved result and won. What surprised me was the Press reaction to that game. Rangers were on a real 'low' . We'd been panned following dreadful domestic displays. BUT.........had anyone said only 3 or 4 weeks ago that we'd beat Hearts on their home ground, they would rightfully have been accused of mixing up ambition and ability. BUT........we DID win and went into 2nd place in the League. Something thought beyond our capabilities if the media were to be believed. What did we get from the Press ? Scorn and derision about the abilities of BOTH teams. Several papers carried articles on how poor both were and how they would never survive outside of Scotland. [Forget the 'sectarian singing' stories, that's for another arguement]. Last night, the mhanks got a result. I'm not interested in whether they deserved it [they didny btw]. My point is, will the same Press make ANY comment on just how poor a game that was last night ? Aside from how "Rooney/Saha/Ronaldo/whoever didny turn up" will anybody point out that viewers in Germany, France, Italy , etc must've been switching off in their millions at just how bad that game was in a footballing sense ? Don't bother answering..............I know what the answer is.

Good news, even taking into account who said it. Link: http://www.theherald.co.uk/sport/74869.html

Darrell King also has two articles online. One from Ferguson and one from Novo. Both saying 'more of the same' Still no match report yet.

Right on time......... and this clown doesn't have ONE WORD of praise for a Rangers victory. Link: http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/hi/sport/6029769.html

Normally there are PLENTY of links online with reports on the football matches at this time. None so far [for the Evening Times, etc]. Am I paranoid or could it be because we got a 'result' yesterday ?

It's just a pity more journos don't take the opportunity to expose the mhanks like this when the chance arises. They certainly don't hesitate when it comes to Rangers.

Loony season, you mean. :yawn:

Reported in the News Of The World. I wouldny bother about it bud. :yawn:

I forgot he played for us. Link: http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/06/11/18/SOCCER_Rangers_Le_Guen.html&TEAMHD=soccer

So, no different from the rest of our defence bud ?

At least half a dozen goals scored against us this season I'm CERTAIN wouldny have happened had the big fella been playing.#

This sounds even better. Link: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/tm_headline=auxerre-worse-off-than-rangers-%26method=full%26objectid=18109423%26siteid=66633-name_page.html

This kind of thing has been happening for years guys. No conspiracy involved. When they were trying to stop the brain-donors throwing bottles at matches they asked us to point them out. Saw several folks get sore faces for simply waving to their kids down the front. Also seen idiots attacking fans leaving the Ground early when things weren't going too well. Football is a tribal thing and there are some mean tribes out there.

and the Hearts fans have a damn cheek complaining. Link: http://www.hearts.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=38100

...........and all because the pies arrived !

Can you imagine the sort of damage he'd cause against us at corners if he DID manage to find a team and play against us in a Cup ?

My wife was a waitress there at the same time.

Link: http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/hi/sport/6029660.html Aye Derek ! ........but then you decided you couldny be bothered running around up front and went for the easy life at centre-half. :yawn:

When Rangers capitulated to UEFA, I said this would be the end result. Give it another year or so and we'll be playing in green and all our songs will be banned.
