    I don't know about others, but I have a feeling the posters all know each other and have had dealings before, probably through the Trust. Are we not just going down the same old road with the same old individuals.
  2. chilledbear
    Probably this, and even in a one-off it would depend if we were in Motherwell - mode or ICT - mode.

    I think elfideldo is saying, just about as good as the first team are playing.

    With so many players on good money I cannot see many being dropped in favour of younger lads. Even Smith, Cribari, Hutton, Little etc are probably in front of them.

    That Radio Clyde can say anything they want with no consequences, is quite frankly unbelievable. A broadcaster from Glasgow talking like this about a Glasgow team and their supporters, I would never have believed they would get away with it for so long. Perhaps it says more about us than them.

    Do you think any are worth a run in the first team ?

    PUBLISHED 19:22 4th February 2014 . . . manager leaves the Liberty Swansea City and manager Michael Laudrup have tonight parted company. Garry Monk will take up the reigns as head coach alongside current first team coach Alan Curtis for the foreseeable future. “It is a decision we have taken reluctantly,’’ confirmed Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins. “But it’s a decision made in the best interests of Swansea City Football Club and our supporters. “It is the first time in nearly 10 years that the club has parted with a manager in this way, but we had to remove the constant uncertainty surrounding the club and Michael’s long-term future with us. “I had a meeting with Michael today in a final attempt to support him and establish a way to improve the work of the backroom team to secure the results we need over the final 14 Premier League games. “However, after thinking long and hard about the best way forward, I felt it was unlikely we would achieve a stable environment at the club to allow us to get back to basics and produce the performance levels that have served Swansea City so well over the last few years. “Now we need to put that uncertainty behind us and move forward as a united football club on all fronts, while placing on record our gratitude to Michael for the work he has done over the last 18 months and wish him well for the future.’’ The Swansea chairman concluded: “I hope all our supporters can fully understand how difficult this period has been for us and I would urge everyone connected to the football club to get behind Garry Monk, the staff and players.’’ The club will be making no further comment at this stage, but will endeavour to keep our supporters updated with any future development.

    At Auchenhowie watching Rangers u20s. Graham Wallace is also here - looks like supposed journalists claiming he's resigned are wrong.Again. Not me by the way.

  11. chilledbear
    The nearest is Murdoch on the bench who never gets on.
  12. chilledbear
    Gallagher 2-0
  13. chilledbear
    You can be their spokesman.
  14. chilledbear
    So true. We have pro Ally camps and anti Ally camps as well as the Board ones. Soon the pro-pies and anti-pies will be making an appearance.
  15. chilledbear
    OK we'll get Jack Irvine to vet them.
  16. chilledbear
    Would pro-Board ask the difficult questions? I would hope any supporter organisation would elect their own spokesperson, who would then work for the Supporters no matter who the chiefs would be.
  17. chilledbear
    You have to support the Board??

    Scott Burns‏@ScottBurns75· Celtic Park is to be named as the venue for the League Cup final between @AberdeenFC and @ICTFC on Sunday, March 16.

    I find it hard to believe that any grouping initiated by the Club would be completely independent.
  20. chilledbear
    Surely would depend how independent it is.
  21. chilledbear
    Club led initiative ?
  22. chilledbear
    There is no chance it will be ignored.

    This is the type of Article that is quoted years ahead as factual, as it's written by a 'Rangers supporter'.
  24. chilledbear
    So has MD still got a position in the RST?

    By Andrew Dickson WHEN the first team has performed well in times gone by, a common complaint – and a wrong one in my opinion – has been the same can’t be said for Rangers’ youth sides. It’s perhaps ironic, therefore, that as Ally McCoist’s men stutter a little just now, the under-20s are showing more promise collectively than many of their academy predecessors. That’s not a criticism of the senior squad. As I said last week, it is operating well overall and although some performances could have been better, it’s moving in the right direction. The pleasing thing is Gordon Durie’s kids are also excelling and they moved into first place in their league on Tuesday when they defeated previous leaders Hibernian 2-0. In a conversation with Durie last week, he and I agreed we can’t do enough to talk up the club’s emerging talents – and that we arguably don’t. Having read a BBC web article which ran through the biggest prospects in the Premiership a few days back, allow me to do the same with some who have caught the eye at Auchenhowie. After all, those I’ve been impressed with in Durie’s team wouldn’t be out of place in such company. On the contrary, they lead many of them in the Under-20 League. Darren Ramsay hasn’t been spoken of much since his Glasgow Cup final goal against Celtic in 2012 but he was terrific in midweek and scored a sensational clincher. In turn, his performance meant we had yet another youngster to get excited about and if he keeps performing at his peak, he’ll have a real chance. Ramsay’s direct, aggressive approach was so effective and it epitomised what you get with the under-20 team. The lads have a pacy, attractive style but when games become scrappy their work ethic is excellent as they graft and fight for everything. Up front, Calum Gallagher is a tireless runner in the mould of Kenny Miller who chases everything. Andy Murdoch is a midfield terrier reminiscent of Stuart McCall and he’s complimented by the wonderfully-talented Charlie Telfer next to him. Jamie Burrows has ferocious speed and great upper body strength so if he can work on his composure a little more he’ll have all the ingredients a forward needs. At the back, Luca Gasparotto is a threat at set pieces and a solid centre-half. Craig Halkett’s the same. There are others I could mention too and there’s nothing to be taken from the fact I don’t. In short, the team’s a very solid unit packed with potential. One disappointment is so few have seen that in person and there were just 170 people at Murray Park five days ago, many of them parents and scouts. When so many plead for youth to be given a chance higher up, it would be great if more turned out to support them. Games are free to attend and well publicised right here on the club website. The fixtures page can also be accessed by clicking HERE. With 14 under-20 ties left, Celtic remain title favourites having had more money to invest in their youth programme. They’ve games in hand too that could send them top but with two Old Firm matches to play, Rangers have given themselves a chance and their destiny is in their own hands. These are exciting times for the kids at Durie’s disposal. Why not come along and find out more for yourself, starting this Tuesday against St Mirren at 7pm in Dumbarton?
