Turnberry18 3,204 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Absolute quality.We have a decent yong squad now, but you can look at all the top tier teams and my God, how the standard has fallen in Scotland. In our glory years under Souness and Smith and before, we have seen some top quality take to the filed at Ibrox. The scum, the sheep and the like also had some great players in former years, I just can't see such quality ever grace the football fields in Scotland again. We will go on to achieve great things again and soon, but the all round game is a step down from what we competed in previously. Our three year absence from the top flight has seen standards plummet. Quite sad really. Don't have the answer, but a revolution is needed to get money flowing in, but with the self serving carrots that we have running our game, it will never happen.It is sad, you're right. I loved that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeWilson 4,670 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Damascus Beasley was a brilliant player in Europe for us. Just too lightweight for the Scottish game. Chris woods was a tremendous keeper the 3 fiddles rule in Europe spoiled his chances at Ibrox.That should read 8 diddies rule.Eight 'diddies' that got within a cheating French cunt of a Champions League final. Chris Woods was ousted by none other than Andy Goram. Rangers best ever goalkeeper and the best 'diddy' of his generation - a world-class 'diddy.'The seven other 'diddies' you refer to: Richard Gough, Stuart McCall, Ally McCoist, David Robertson, Ian Durrant, John Brown, Ian Ferguson, were (along with Goram) the integral members of a squad that achieved a little something known as Nine-in-a-Row.Eight 'diddies' indeed.I would have to conclude that the real diddy in this instance is you... And a prize one at that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Marvin Andrews played on through cruciate ligament damage to help us to helicopter Sunday he kept us believingMarvin is a legend. I honestly think he won that league for us, as weird as it might seem. He healed his own cruciate and is still playing pro football. What a guy.

strikemaster 21 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 going back a bit,(as usual) but the iron man big Harry Davis was overshadowed by slim jim but was a rock in defence for us, all heart, I'll never forget him chasing that wee specky Belgian c**t ,the length of the pitch, hilarious.

DavieCooper74 1,283 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 He has been mentioned several times but it's Stuart Munro for me. Hemdani and Papac too but in my 40 years on this planet I'd choose Munro as my number one choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have the answer, but a revolution is needed to get money flowing in, but with the self serving carrots that we have running our game, it will never happen.Start by getting rid of the two cnuts Dungcaster and Rhegan. These two bastards have brought nothing to the game and taken out plenty in the form of cash bastards both of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearsinbath 95 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Who often forget David Robertson? If it wasn't for Numan, he'd easily be the best left back in my nearly 28 years on this planet.I did like this but, Davie Robertson was a better left back than Arthur Numan if not as personable!

K.A.I 36,183 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Guy is an inspiration to all of us. He put his faith in god, and he was repaid. No idea what was going through his head when he done that lol. Will always have a huge love for the big man. I hate slating the guy but that's not inspirational, it's stupid. He played through the pain and will probably be crippled for life soon. Cruciate's don't completely just heal themselfs no matter how strong your faith is. There will be issues underlying that will gub him later.He's played about 140 games since he left us in the summer of 2006 which is about 14 a year due to his fitness.Love him for what he done at Rangers that short time he was here but the minute he refused to get an operation he should have had his contract terminated (maybe that's the reason he was released shortly after) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did his contract not just expire when he left the following year? What you say there is right purely looking at it without any sentiment but I struggle with that considering what a brilliant end to the season that was with Marvin Andrews at the heart of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 From my own experience my cruciate gave me basically no pain or bother after I did it in.I waited ten months before I had my operation on my one and the first couple of times my knee gave out after the initial injury happened (which was fucking agony) it was sore and swelled up but after that that there was basically no pain when my knee gave out from underneath me and it happened at least three or four times. I would just get up and carry on with whatever I was doing.It'll cause you bother in the long run if you don't address it but there's loads of people who do them in, don't bother with the operation and function normally (an option I wish I'd taken) Mind you they aren't professional footballers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think any country in Europe has seen such a drop in standards as Scotland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,433 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Papac gets mentioned as the unsung hero or underrated player so often, even during his time here, that he never really was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
