  1. I keep hearing this same story, but seriously how many players do we expect to have back after the WC?, I have a feeling Goldson’s going to be out for a while longer, then we have Souter and Davies, how long do we expect them to stay fit, throw in Jack as well, really only leaves us with Lawrence, maybe Hagi but not holding my breath, I’m not even counting Helander and Roofe as they’re both done. makes me I’ll thinking about it.
  2. How long has the wee fella been here now? you’d think someone would have showed him what feet his boots are supposed to be on.
  3. Not seen much of Devine but if he can't be trusted to give Tav a much needed rest I have to ask myself just how good is he ?
  4. Would like to see Sands getting a decent run alongside Lundstram,he looked good against the sheep and every team needs a utility player, if he can produce that kind of performance on a consistent basis then I'd keep him, torn with Tillman will have to wait and see with him, the rest I wouldn't be sorry to see go. BTW what is Jack's recent injury?
  5. All of the above, it's not rocket science, but the one that does my nut in in when we have played against the better teams in the CL we can't even make simple 5yrd passes in a straight line to a teammate and needlessly giving up possession, it's mental.
  6. You do realize that he's not the 1st to stop that lot winning 10 IAR.
  7. What would our prospects be if we declined to join if offered? we'd fall further behind than we are doing at present, no investment, playing for scraps, I hate what money has done to football but I suppose it's called progress and if we don't do something and get left further behind then I fear for the future unless we are happy enough just playing in the SPFL.
  8. Held my tongue long enough but it looks like I'm in a huge minority who hasn't seen much in this lad, the fact that he looked good in the 2nd half IMO was down to the fact that Napoli thankfully decided to make the 2nd half a training exercise, in that 1st half he was getting torn to shreds chasing shadows, [like all the rest]as for going forward he does move quickly but he flatters to deceive, I lost count of how many times he gave the ball away, one good ball into Morelos isn't enough for me, I hope to God I'm proven wrong and with game time he makes me eat my words, but right now I don't see it.
  9. I know mate, but most of those and some of the heavy defeats we've suffered you couldn't see coming, but in this one 5 or 6 wouldn't be unexpected.
  10. Nope, in all my years following my beloved Rangers for the 1st time ever I'm genuinely fearing an absolute mauling and embarrassment at the hands of european opposition, really don't want to watch this tonight but I will.
  11. For God's sake, don't say that pal, I may as well go for a hot bath with a razor blade.
  12. Those two finals against the sheep were a joy to be at, the two best teams in Scotland at the time going toe to toe with each other.
  13. I'm starting to get the feeling I did going through the early 80's, team had no bottle if they went behind, subs who made no difference, turgid football, we even had a world class left winger whom Greig and Wallace more often than not couldn't get a tune out of, it was soul destroying watching the fall from grace, the only thing that changed it all was the fans falling away in alarming figures to a point where 10/12k attendance wasn't unusual, protests outside the main entrance etc and the death of John Lawrence, because attendance nowadays is governed by season ticket sales punters not turning up won't hurt the board so much, but the stagnation creeping into the club as I said above is giving me an early 80's feeling all over again.
  14. Happy birthday to me .........I hope.
  15. If any of "the shite" in this league were to have a go at us ATM I have no confidence that this lot could cope.
  16. Doesn't matter the players have stopped playing for him.
  17. Trying to figure out why would the yanks want to invest in an SPFL football team? and how much would they be willing to put in?, only way I think they can make money on there investment is if we were competing in the CL constantly in order to have a higher profile and make it attractive to future investors, that would mean spending a lot on players to make sure we were winning the league every year in order to qualify for the CL, I'm no expert of coarse and I say to myself I must be missing something, of course they could also just be asset strippers, still I'd like to hear their proposals before just coming out and saying fuck off!!
  18. Be some laugh when he gets offered the liverpool job.
  19. Only a matter of time before he's out long term if what we've been hearing is true that he's been getting injections in order to play, it doesn't usually end well if this is the case and questions will have to be asked of the medical team.
  20. I think most of the frustration comes from offering injury prone players long contracts, I've never understood us even being interested in them in the first place, the argument I hear most is that we couldn't afford them otherwise but what is the point in having them if we only get a couple of months a season out of them? the signings of Roofe and Helander for instance had me shaking my head because I knew what would happen,great players when fit but they just disrupt the continuity after playing for what seems like a handful of games, and the genius who thought Soutar would stay fit should have been shown the door, I know his injury is different from his past problems but I'll bet a pound to a penny when he eventually gets over this one it won't take long before something else crops up and keeps him out long term.
  21. Just listened to their podcast there, I used to be a fan of Edgar and thought he was pretty honest in his opinions but since he"s had media access he's just become another lapdog, I couldn't believe it when he said tonight that he didn't believe that the players chucked it and his reason for saying it, fuck me that's the final straw for me, won't waste any more of my time listening to him anymore.
  22. Was probably meant to be put out earlier but the PR department forgot all about it.
  23. No point in appointing a new manager until we get rid of the fucking midget, fuck having him pick our next manager.
  24. When he tells the watching world that we can't compete at this level what the hell is he saying in the dressing room?
