THE_Ibrox_Preacher

When Wallace got made captain he stepped it up a bit and I have to give him that credit. Here's the problems for me though; For a left back the bread and butter is defending and for the bulk of his time in a jersey he regularly seems to be at the wrong end of the park or nowhere near where he should be when we're in bother. He wasn't a captain to begin with and as time goes on and the team improves he'll take the captaincy towards irrelevance like his presence. More than anything, he's not good enough - he can get away with it if he's having a good attacking game or the teams so bad he looks good or the team is so good it masks that he isn't BUT for where we need to be is he of that level? You could say (rightfully) that others including new signings aren't as well and fair enough but we're talking about Wallace, unless he can bring his war face every week he's going to fade away in time like plenty of others hovering about the now.

Preaching to the converted patter we've seen from others and it means nothing unless the important stuff comes with it! With that said, Tav's pink boots are fucking abysmal like he is for chunks of the season, get them binned along with his coma days.

Do we have any footage of his headers at Derby in a "friendly"?

I didnae know he was a fan of Blu-Tack.

This to me is actually a really good point, I've never considered Wallace as captain material. With someone like Alves in the team is it unreasonable to suggest he may be better giving the instructions to Wallace rather than Wallace giving them to him? This is something that could be further highlighted as the quality of the team improves dramatically as is required.

Aye the Scotsman have it up in clickbait fashion - "John McEnroe: Rangers are the only Scottish club I’ve heard of" It's next to all the transfer news online as you'd imagine so it'll get a few clicks.

C&P from the Scotsman to avoid some of us giving them clicks; "The former Wimbledon champion made ...comments while providing analysis during Andy Murray’s first round encounter at the French Open against Andrey Kuznetsov. During play, it was mentioned how Murray is a big Hibs fan with his grandfather having once played for the club. McEnroe, though, remained silent, not recognising Hibs or their official name Hibernian. He then said: “I needed a little helping. Glasgow Rangers is as far as I’ve got.”

It's staged but Gavin McInnes tears that guy to shreds. One of several I've seen...

Well, that would be the red away strip all but assured. (maybe not joining in the spirit of things but you'd imagine we'd do it)

Not got a clue but his aerial ability was known to be his best attribute before he came her so we can't claim we were caught off guard.

Lennon taking action so a fan loses his job over a laugh and yet he accuses the referees in Scotland of being part of an anti-catholic conspiracy within Scotland and can't take a minor punishment on the chin. Bitter man who is always just a temper tantrum away from setting the wheels in motion towards a riot.

Need a couple of big German types in that midfield to get it looking remotely credible.

What 100 points shows is just how on its arse this league is. They have a few good players and the rest are being carried and made to look better than they are because the opposition is garbage including us. If we were efficient in the slightest we could spend what Aberdeen have an be 20 points clear of them on the basis that as the bigger and better club we'd have the edge on the staff and players we could attract.

Hill wasn't getting a game in the Championship when we signed him, he is done for the level we need to be to challenge and win, our defensive record shows this. I read Wilson had a ligament injury and I was disappointed it wasn't his arse instead, he might stay off it long enough to make the challenge to stop us going 1-0 down at home. The fact we're behind Aberdeen says everything you need to know about our players and if that doesn't look at how better in points we are than ST Johnstone. We all know we're gash and while we're optimistic some genuine investment and quality will be brought to the table we all suspect it'll be another year of signing has-beens and no marks to bide time for a pot to challenge. Right now I'd look at Damian Delaney at Palace, I wanted him last season when his contract was up as he'd had a good season. Not had the greatest of seasons just there but he played 29 games+ and it's at Premiership level, we could get a few years out of him and he's on a free with Palace fans looking like they are ready to part with him. I don't know if he's one of them and being ROI that would put some of our lot off him straight away but let's get real he's playing at a higher level than any of our current team will get to, he's free and can do the job for a season or two. Maybe there are better options available but I think he could be a good bang for buck bearing in mind just what all we need to bring in and the likely budget we'll have.

Dreadful news. My condolences to the family and friends.

At least they can run a fans ownership scheme.

The whole team are garbage, who among them would get into the title winning sides? Who genuinely puts in the effort and performs consistently for half the season nevermind a whole one? We are a squad of journeymen who in my opinion bet on our games like most of the league set up this season. If our manager isn't just a yes man to bide time for the board by taking the fall when required then he's got his work cut out for him because nobodies going to touch that lot on the wages they are on and they aren't winning anything bar their coupon. 2nd place celebrated as a "step in the right direction" is at this point almost written in stone for next season.

Just seen someone tweet "The Daily Mail will run with a headline tomorrow about blacks causing problems at the final".

I could go into a long explanation of what I think concerning this team but to avoid upsetting anyone all I'll say is that this team isn't the manager's to lose, these guys were losers before he came on the scene and have never been winners. Full clear-out or suffer the consequence i.e. celebrating 2nd next year like it's an achievement. This reality doesn't mean however that I think the manager is here to lead us to glory.

He can drop £100 notes my way and the only time I want to see him at Ibrox is doing non-paid charity and as a paying customer. If he or any of the other mercenaries are re-signed it better be announced with something akin to "He's doing it for Morton wages cause he has unfinished business" or I expect a revolt from the fans as a matter of pride and principle. I think I've covered all the suitable exceptions to the rule of "He's dead to me", feel free to correct me. Cunt made a mint out of this club, thought his shit didn't stink, turned up for hof a dozen games over how many seasons and we still don't know what his position is, is it wide left, left forward, left leaning against the gutter?!

Awryte mate, same with you. At times there's just not much you can add, we're all pretty tuned in and it's the same fucking song playing. Got shit to do elsewhere too, ye know how it is. I'll try and get a few Mexico borders up though, let cunts know I'm still kicking :) .....fuck out their eyes even glancing at one of ma posts Ha.

It's the terms and conditions of King putting in a sky-diver so I take no offence whatsoever, just me venting for the sake of my own sanity at the expense of everyone else, cheers!

We could have a manager with £30M to spend coming up to this match and it wouldn't have made fuck all difference because there's no fucking transfer window (I know that's stating the obvious but it gives perspective on the manager's position prior to the game) and we have a squad of players that could be playing in Ireland in 1-0 H/T, 1-1 89th minute, 4-5 F/T. This is to say the OP is correct you can't make honey out of dug shit. The transfer window will tell us what we need to know; If Pedro talks about how we have a talented squad extra prepared for the season ahead, that he's happy with investment and backing received and he then signs 2 crocks, 3 released players, a guy at 37, 2 loans and hands 3 or 4 in the team new deals then we'll know we're fucked and that Pedro is the next yes-man to take the fall for this clusterfuck. Until then we can't hold fuck all against him whether you agree with tactics, formation, selections etc. or not.
