  1. That's fair enough mate, that's your opinion. I'm heading down there in the morning with a large group of friends for my first Scotland away trip and I couldn't be more excited. Not everyone in that crowd is a Rangers hater - just remember a lot of them are still good Rangers men.

    I can appreciate where you're coming from. The thing is, from my point of view (and don't take this the wrong way, I'm not questioning your support of our club in any fashion) you're standing there with people who took glee out of our struggles.

    I can't speak to anyone who isn't a Rangers fan about football these days. It's very much a siege mentality in my view, you're either a Ranger or you're nothing.

  2. The Scotland support isn't the only support in the world that has drunken arseholes. I really don't get how people can turn their back on their national team the way some of our fans have done recently. What did that banner say at Ibrox on Saturdau? 'Support the Team, Not the Regime'?

    I can't stand shoulder to shoulder with teuchters who hate my club and support players of teams I have no allegiance to.

    The whole national game is spoiled for me now. There was once a time where id attend every Scotland home game, but I can't do it now.

    I'm still Scottish, but I won't follow the national team, not for the foreseeable future anyway.

  3. are you really going to tell me what I should and shouldn't read. Who do you actually think you are.....usually there are bears in there who talk sense against these idiots and since it is OUR trading page, I am entitled to read it if I choose to. Not that I need to justify what I do or read.

    You focus on whatever the fig you like and ignore my future posts if it suits you better. Thank you.

    Can I focus on you?

  4. My new seat has me sitting right alongside the group. I'm no fan of the anti-Green brigade but everyone has a right to an opinion.

    They're isolated, buy its fairly embarrassing to hear a section of the support slander the guys who got us where we are today.

    Even Brian Stockbridge took a pasting today.

  5. They got caught out a lot at the back post where Abidal was so crucial, Alba obviously isn't as good in the air.

    That comes with the territory though. They could have signed a number of different left backs with different styles and found him difficult to replace.

    Abidal's a centre half by trade, but he was a bloody good player all round. I don't doubt he added a different dimension to Barcelona defensively, but Busquets more or less covers his absence in the team, other than the point you've mentioned.

    When Abidal was rocking up, you had a midfield trio of Iniesta, Xavi and a rotation of Busquets and Toure. All three had creative license and that made them incredibly difficult to break down. Busquets is far more inhibited in the new system and I'll agree that does hinder Barcelona, they don't have someone with a bit of power moving forward like they did with Yaya and, to a lesser extent, Sergio.

    They won't have the unrivalled success they had during the Guardiola years, but they're still a very good team.

  6. Agree! Previously Barca had a back 4 of Alves, Puyol, Pique & Abidal. Alves had freedom to attack and they had the security of Abidal covering to provide a back 3 at times.

    Now with Alves & Alba (who I rate) on the flanks they are regularly left exposed. Even moreso given Puyol's fitness meaning Mascherano is generally at CB! A solid reliable CB is a must (which I don't think Luiz is) and may even have to look at replacing Alves with a more conservative RB as well, as Alba should be LB long-term.

    Sergio Busquets adapted to cover for the loss of Abidal. The problem isn't the fact they don't cover defensively, it was the lack of cohesion and consistency in the back 3/4.

    It Barcelona had picked a settled backline for the majority of the season they would have achieved more success.

  7. Sooo RM ain't the voice of reason?

    Seems like most want Ally out on here yet as you said the majority at the game were supporting Ally?

    Plus, the negative chants against Green are nothing less than pathetic.

    Ally received a lot of support from the crowd tonight.

    One interesting thing was that he was nowhere to be seen in the first half but appeared again in the second.

  8. All great news apart from the last part.

    What were the chants?

    Who the fuck is Charles green.

    Charlie, get to fuck.

    Charles Green you're a wanker.

    Some wee guy tried to get a "die in your sleep" one going, but thankfully noone joined in.

    Attendance? I'd estimate 30k plus. I couldn't really see the Broomloan though, cos I was in it.

  9. Good result. Newcastle had the better of the game but we played some really nice stuff.

    Law was great, Moshni strolled it and Peralta was phenomenal.

    The wee lad that came on in the second half, who I mistakenly took to be Steven Smith - turned out to be Andy Murdoch - was a gem.

    Had one bursting run through the midfield and smashed three Newcastle players out of the way before being crowded out.

    Still about 4-5k fans there when I left at the whistle, looked like they were staying in. Some of the chants towards green were poor to say the least.
