It was doing the rounds on Twitter, but I'm not sure if it's true or not.

Beg to differ.

Based on the last game against Savco, we're further ahead of them.

 

- Gordon is not any better than Fod - even Mutton doesn't rate Gordon.

- It's a joke how much they overrate Tiernay and, as was obvious in the scum game, Tav is a class above him.

- Both Wallace and John are miles better than Lustig - even the Savconians consider him crap.

- Boyata is a bombscare. Martin is better.

- Ajer is not as good as Wilson.

- Broon is a pig of a footballer who even the rabid taig English says gets away with the dirtiest fouls. McCrorie is better.

- McGregor is crap and not as good as Holt.

- Armstrong is playing awful, Jack and Dorrans are much better players.

- Never seen Forrest have a good game against us, and he never covers for the fullback. Candeias works harder and covers for the fullback. He's better.

- Sinclair is highly overrated, does not cover for the fullback, and shites it. Murphy is better.

- I don't usually criticize the mentally retarded but the mongoloid Griffiths can't even get a game for them; he, like Hooper before him, is really overrated. Cummings is better.

- Dembele is not interested in playing for Savco. He's lazy and highly overrated. Morelos is a fantastic wee player. Works his ass off, and just happens to be the top scorer in Scotland. Take him over Dembele any day.

- Murty has managed two games against Brenda, has not lost, and should have won both.

 

Looks to me, Selmy, contrary to what you suggested, that none of these Savco players could get into the Rangers first team.

Holy smokes. You put dB's positivity to shame and make him look like the most negative person on the forum (which he isn't by miles).

 

That aside, the above just simply isn't true.  Or at least some of it.

 

Murphy hasn't proven anything at Rangers as yet so to say he is better than Sinclair is silly at this point.  Likewise with Martin and Cummings (indeed, this one shows just how biased you are.... Griffiths has scored regularly for Celtic, has scored for Scotland too - Cummings hasn't, as yet, played any meaningful minutes in the top flight in any country and has scored once for Notts Forest - and yet you have labelled him better than Griffiths).  And that is just a couple.

 

As dB says below, talk about blue-tinted glasses.

 

Also, for the record and seeing as you seem to be new to the forum - this forum is one of decency and respect so can you, unless you actually have proof, refrain from calling people retards or mongoloids.  Can you also refrain from the use of words such as taig.  Politically correct we may be, but that is how we run the forum.

Part of Docherty deal Barjonas to Hamilton on loan for rest of season?

Would be a good deal for both parties I reckon.

You are quite right to correct him on his use of language, however I'm not sure you should be so quick to label him untruthful either.  He stated an opinion and his is no less valid than anyone else's.  Murphy hasn't proven anything in this league yet, as with Martin and Cummings.  However, that's exactly why you can't say you are correct and he is wrong.  Griffiths and Sinclair proved that they couldn't make it down south, but Murphy has done more than both of them.  Is it not therefore conceivable that he might just be better?  Martin was a success down south.  Again is that not reason to at least entertain the notion that he might be better than his counterparts at Celtic?

 

None of us know how successful we will be with these players, but I think it's reasonable to state an opinion the way he did (notwithstanding his language which I'd hope he'd retract).

Greg Docherty and transfer dealings

 Steven Clifford

Wouldn’t really be the transfer window if there wasn’t a Rangers Rollercoaster somewhere. Whilst Jamie Murphy was stressful enough for us all, Greg Docherty threatens to be just the same.

Whilst the obvious answer is to just give Hamilton the cash they desire, we have to trust our board to do what’s right for our club. There is no doubts Rangers are treated differently in Scotland, other teams are allowed to budget and pay in instalments as is common ground all over Europe.

Rangers however are treated differently, when Rangers come to town deals are complicated and teams demand money up front and structures are different to anything else other clubs experience.

Take the recent Jordan Jones bid, when we placed a bid the furore was a typical response from a Scottish side. It’s more common to turn it into a war and appease a fan base than do what’s best for their club. Good luck to Kilmarnock but I’d be hugely surprised if we went back, personally I hope we don’t. Rangers need to stop being the cash cow for a country determined to hold us to different standards than anyone else.

Hearts lost money for Jamie Walker, but it’s ok they didn’t sell to Rangers. Was there so much of a reaction when Preston put in a derisory bid for Josh Windass? No obviously not.

So that brings us nicely to Greg Docherty. Rangers bid and once again it became public. Rangers once again dealing with a club making demands they wouldn’t make of other sides, once again a Club determined to make the transfer public.

Rangers and Hamilton have yet to reach an agreement but everyone on the Rangers side seem confident and hopeful it will be. The excellent Rocksport radio reported earlier, this deal was close and major break throughs were being made. Since then it’s went a bit quiet. The clubs remain in dialogue and the fanbase wait.

I sincerely hope this one can get over the line and there is a lot more business to be done this window. Rangers are actively trying to offload a few and balance the squad, that may determine future business.

Plans are underway for next season and Mark Allen is hugely impressing everyone behind the scenes. The stadium, as we mentioned before, is receiving the care it needs and investment is being made. It’s ok to be positive about our club, after all it’s Rangers First, we aren’t here to subsidise others.

Congratulations to the young bears today in their fantastic win against Bayern Munich. The future is in good hands with results like this. Aberdeen on Wednesday and hopefully a chance for the team to start an important run of matches, we are capable and a nice chance to see new faces. Hopefully that will include Greg Docherty, let’s hope we can get it done.

I realise you were quoting someone else's words and this is a complete digression but does anyone know what IS being done to bring the stadium out of its years of disrepair?
