  1. That's why I don't understand, the furore about Kent. I get that he is exciting to watch on the ball running past players but the end product isn't there yet. Personally, I think Candeias is the better team player... how many goals/procession have we gained from his harassing defenders high up the park. Kent is a decent player but he is a long way from the finished article and I think another season long loan would be the best option.
  2. I suggest a person who had a reasonable playing career and has a wealth of coaching experience and I'm either a fenian or a mongo. But you suggest someone who is still playing the game and has little or no experience at coaching. Ali was a hero as a footballer but a coach.... Joycie may not be the right man but some of the names being touted are totally unrealistic or untested at any coaching level.
  3. Eh naw, so if I don't go to the game with my da then that makes me a bastard?
  4. Chapman sat on his arse the full game. It was Joycie who stood on the touchline the full game directing the players. Bleeds blue and has more passion for the club than was shown by the entire team last night. As for the fenian bastard comment, name a time to meet outside Ibrox and I'll prove that I am neither a fenian or a bastard.
  5. John Joyce from Annan. Orchestrated a victory for Annan at Ibrox on a fraction of the Rangers budget. A strong disciplinarian with extensive knowledge of the Scottish game.
  6. When W&W took over the club was in a mess. The organisation off the park has improved drastically. The stadium has required significant investment as well as the team, while the income streams are significantly hamstrung by Ashley and the onerous contracts written by previous boards. The legal recourse to terminate these contracts take time and significant finances. It would seem that W&W have tried to utilise cheap quick fixes while the longer term changes take time to mature. They brought in 5 midfielders in the summer, 2 short term fixes in Barton and Nico and 3 longer term in Rossiter, Crooks and Windass. Yes, Barton and Nico were risks but there is no way any of us could have predicted the catalogue of injuries that the beset the younger guys. Up front the addition of Garner and Dodoo seemed like good additions: Garner was starting to win us around before the injury, but I can't understand why Dodoo hasn't been given more of a chance as he has scored some cracking goals from the bench. The defence is the biggest problem which has been exposed more by the insistence of playing from the back. When W&W first came we were much quicker in getting the ball forward and gave other teams little opportunity to regroup. I think we now pay the opposition to much respect and are unable to capitalise on our strengths which were fitness and teams tired chasing our shadows. I thought we should have been challenging for the title this season but we have been desperately unlucky which has been augmented by some poor decision. Celtic on the other hand have not had any significant injury problems. Add in the fact that in the first quarter season we played aberdeen, hearts and celtic away from home which has only been redressed in the last month thus giving celtic's season greater momentum. Personally, I think we could have done with someone like Big Eck as manager to look after the first team while Warbarton sorted out the rest of the playing infrastructure of the club.
  7. The tackle that brown got booked for... He was off his feet, the tackle was from behind, is that not a red card?
  8. He has already started it, but its not going too well as he's using a ruler to write it while his pen has been loaned out to cowdenbeath.
  9. Bobby Bee's Rubber Ball with the sectarian chorus?
  10. Only flaw in this is that the financial year for companies is generally 31st of March.
  11. You don't have to be tall to be tenacious in midfield. We've had Gattuso, McCall who controlled the centre of the park. Neither were the greatest passers but they won the ball and played the simple ball to the creative players who could. Not seen enough of Murdoch, but he's still young and would provide options and competition.
  12. Have you tried Rangers Football Fans In Training?
  13. Year 1 Win championship, Scottish cup, league cup, petrofac cup. Forget to apply for entry to spfl. Year 2 Win championship, league cup, Scottish cup, petrofac cup and Europa cup. Year 3 Win championship, league cup, petrofac cup, Scottish cup and qualify through champion s league.
  14. What about Gazza, Flo and Trevor Steven?
  15. What a swine, it took me ages to make a decision the first time. Mols is by far the best striker, but Rod wouldn't be far behind. Gough the best defender but Weir is a more than able deputy. But Goram is miles better than Shagger and Durrant is slightly better than McCall. And finaly even though Cooper is one of my favorite players ever I would prefer Albertz in 5s. Therefore, I've changed my vote to team 1. Can we change Amoruso for Greig?
  16. What 11 first team players? Most of the players lost were squad players at best. Simo/Robinson were back up to bell Jig/Moshni were back up to McGregor and Zal Black? Daly/Boyd? The only first teamed we lost was the much maligned Foster. The only one that got pass marks at most was Smith and that is purely because of the freekicks.
  17. 3rd one down for me but it was close with the first team, but Jukebox's inclusion swung it.
  18. They did the orange shorts and socks too.
  19. How does that impact the sanctions placed on Rangers by the SFA? Surely, they should be redressed as all they did was further punish the victim of a crime.
  20. Good shout, his height would be an asset for set pieces
  21. I could guarantee you sucess with the squad we have now.
