Cheers Bears.

I've now purchased my ticket and will be shaking the mothballs out my scarf for the next home match.

Lodge Neptune was always my favoured place for pre-match cocktails. I might just give the W.R.C. a look in this time around.

:box:

One of my all time favourites came near the end of last season when Bougherra had his red card v Aberdeen rescinded when some deranged bheast came out with "If the huns go on to win the league it will be an empty and phyrric victory". Not sure the bouncy at Tannadice in May felt empty and phyrric but there you go

 

As I've said before, if they didn't exist we'd have to invent them.

Nothing worse than a deluded mhank with half an education.

Ill health means I won't be working for quite a while. Murray looks like he's finally leaving Ibrox so it's safe to return without putting money into his pocket.

Work commitments and that snake were my reasons for not attending to see a team I've supported since the early 60's.

In the process of buying a season ticket so I might catch up with one or two Bears from this Forum pre/post match over the next few months.

:spl:

The lunatic asylums will be full by May.

I've been watching Glasgow derbies since around 1963.

It's what they do.

No team has EVER beaten that mob fairly.

I recall back in the very early 70's we were playing the mhanks in a Cup Final. A few days before the game they lost Yogi Hughes and Jimmy Johnstone through injuries.

I'd never felt so confident of winning.

We lost 4-1.

I never, ever predict a Glasgow derby score.

Had we been going there with a full squad, I've no doubt we would've won. As it stands, I'm not forecasting anything.

Unlike big Cluggys case, the SFA's phones are red hot trying to form a committee to deny the appeal as we speak.

Killie v mhanks game called off.

Were they banned for the v-sign ? How do you know pete ? Or are you only taking that from one side of the story ?

 

See, you know less than Boyd does about that situation yet you feel entitled to comment on it, yet by the same token you feel that Boyd shouldnt voice his opinion on it when he would have been much closer to the situation than any of us.

 

He would have been asked those questions and he is entitled to his opinion the same as the rest of us. It is very common knowledge that there were MORE players involved. All Boyd is saying is what MANY Gers fans are saying which is "why did the rest not also get punished" ? I think he is quite entitled to do so.

 

And as gisa said, you have no idea whether he has already spoken to Levein or not, yet you felt that you should comment on it despite not knowing. My point being, you dont think Boyd should talk about things which in your opinion he knows nothing about - yet you are doing the exact same thing.

 

He has been asked the question by the press and knew enough about the situation to comment. I see no harm in him doing so.

Ferguson and McGregor WERE banned for the v signs Bear. The fact they were on the bench shows they weren't banned for partying.

Despite his age, he's done an excellent job covering the back door.

If Boyd or any of the others find their way back into the squad they'd better be prepared for a [very] large section of the Scotland fanbase giving them abuse.

They seem to have a real problem with Rangers players.

Whittaker was left to cover the whole of the right wing on his own too many times. I've a lot of time for the boy but no doubt, he was begining to take a beating out there on his own. It can be no coincidence that the matches he took the worst slatings for also saw our entire midfield fail to turn up at all.

Hopefully, a few matches out will give him a chance to get his confidence back.

btw.............he ain't a full back.

The guy's a complete bombscare.

Guy just wasn't interested from the start.

 

Bit of criticism from the fans and he folds. Glad he's leaving.

Typical cheese-eating surrender monkey !

He wants first team football. Smith apparently won't stand in his way.

Mistake imo.

Calscot..............I don't think anybody seriously expects a Rangers team to beat the likes of Barcelona nowadays.

However, they should be able to handle the basics of football. Controlling a ball, being able to find a team mate with a pass, talking a throw-in, etc.

We're talking about guys who're earning VAST amounts of money here. [not as much as Messi or Ronaldo, but still a fortune by the standards of the average working man].

Having been arrested at the ECWC Final in Barcelona I can safely say I'll vouch for how the Spanish polis behave.

What really depresses me is, our players NEVER pass a ball first time. For some reason, this basic skill seems to be beyond them. Every single player seems to need to stop the ball to bring it under control before attempting a pass.

Not to mention being incapable of passing a ball to a team mate allowing him to move FORWARD onto it. Invariably the guy receiving the ball will have to either check out of a run or go backwards to pick it up.

FFS, I was taught that at the Lifeboys when I was about 10.

Indeed it is... gratuitous negative press ahead of a match; shurely shome mishtake?

To be honest, I expected the negative story yesterday.

To quote Walter...................

""The easiest thing in the world for the financial people to do is to cut costs by getting rid of a manager and bringing in someone else on a lesser wage.

"I think that was PROBABLY thought about in the earlier part of the year"

Total non-story.

The Monster Munch crew don't have that risk...

Boyd hasn't figured that one out yet. He gets someone to do it for him.

If he doesn't get injured climbing the stairs up the airplane's door

Or opening a particularly difficult in-flight meal. :devil:

I always find it a bit insulting when you get a player who has contributed little due to bad form and injury, then says he needs to go elsewhere due to lack of games. Where's a mirror when you need one.

I suspect his mirror is facing South Africa right now.

Reckons he's not playing enough and is looking to move in January.

Maybe if he didn't have to spend 3 months on the treatment table every time he broke an eyelash he'd manage more starts.

Shame too because I had high hopes for the boy.
