  1. Has anyone had their secondary ticketing money from this season deducted from their renewal price ? I'm just about to renew online but see no reduction in price (£510 for GR7).
  2. Seems Foster is just as good at punching as he is at football ? fucking twat
  3. My brother and I got tickets today. I received a phone call about an hour ago from the ticket office asking me if we wanted them after being part of the unlucky 1500 from the original cccs ballot. They are in the west stand. So it looks like there maybe a few tickets still floating around.
  4. The guy I spoke to on the phone says it doesn't matter how many years I've been on the cccs, it's based on a season by season basis☹️.
  5. No ticket for me or my brother, despite being on the cccs for the past 7 years or so. Been to every cup game in that time never missing a payment. Just tried calling them there only to be given the usual pish about how their lines are too busy and then they just cut me off. Fucking shambles. Just got got through to the ticket office there. We got 16500 tickets for cccs but we have 18000 on the scheme. So me and my brother are part of the unlucky 1500. Scunnered.
  6. OK we all know the gaffer loves his 4-3-3 and so do I. Some of the football last season was a joy and pleasure to watch. But I was just thinking with the players that we have, would we be more suited to a 3-5-2 formation ? Hopefully the signing of Senderos and the return to fitness for Holt, Crooks, Windass, Waghorn can fix our sluggish start to the season but if not then maybe another formation could be the answer. A 3-5-2 could possibly be the solution to both our defensive frailties and lack of goals. Our defence currently is basically the 2 centre backs with little cover from the full backs. The amount of times a long ball from the opposition gets flicked on and beats our defence is scary. A change to a back 3 would possibly cut that out and make us more secure. In turn this should allow Tav and Wallace to get up and down the park more freely. Also an extra CB can only be beneficial for defending set pieces which as we all know is another frailty of ours. Then we would have our centre mids like we do at the moment with one difference, I'd have Barrie McKay playing in there just in front of the other 2 midfielders. There seems to be a real lack of movement, energy and purpose in our central midfield since the end of last season which is continuing onto this season. I think McKay can play in there as a playmaker linking midfield with attack. Up front we would have the 2 strikers. They would thrive on the width still provided by Wallace and Tav and the passing of our playmaker either McKay/Kranjcar/Forrester. I could see a partnership between Waghorn and Garner hitting 50+ goals easy in this kind of setup. Oh aye and another thing, fuck international football pile a shite. Roll on the 10th
  7. Would love to see 2/3 of the u20s start in the early league cup games, particularly the games at Ibrox. Give them the chance to impress in front of a decent sized crowd and take it from there. Always felt Walsh played well whenever I saw him and was maybe overlooked after we signed Oduwa. If we are going to send some of our players out on loan I'd try sending them down to England's league 1. There's some biggish clubs in that league and with 46 league games our youngsters should be guaranteed a good bit of game time.
  8. The sooner we get back to playing in Europe the better. It's a no brainer really with so many benefits. Prestige, excitement and increased revenues meaning more investment in the team, why would you not want that ? The Europa League has some tasty teams in it and it would be good to do battle with a Spurs, a Dortmund or a Marseille. Also we need to start building those co-efficient points back up again so that when we do win the league in the future our Champion's League qualifiers are as smooth as possible. Just imagine the noise inside Ibrox when we make our European return. It will be glorious.
  9. At the moment Fraser Aird. He has a good attitude and gives everything. He takes a fair bit of stick sometimes but he never hides if he's not having his best game. Davie Weir was another one. When he first signed I wasn't best pleased about the signing of an ageing slow centre half. How silly of me.
  10. Sitting up in Club Deck for a European game (can't remember who we were playing) when Marvin Andrews commits a big dirty challenge on their striker. He gets booked and the guy behind me shouts "Come on ref, the big man's a Christian, he wid never snap the cunt on purpose."
  11. Infuriating player to watch. Seemingly undroppable to justify his wages and all the while a potential future captain is played out of position to accommodate this waste of space. Hope his contract is not renewed at the end of the season.
  12. Fucking brilliant. Get it right up ye Hivs. Had a wee cheeky fiver on Hamilton to go up at 10/1 Heard the Rangers seal was at the game sitting next to Petrie perhaps ?
  13. Heartbreaking. You were a man of class and a role model to many. You will never be forgotten. Goodnight Mr Rangers.
  14. This is just indefensible. Are the management and players naive enough to think that this is acceptable after yet another gutless and soul destroying performance. They just don't live in the real world. This has just rubbed salt into already raw wounds.
  15. 3 nil Salzburg away to Ajax and it's not even half time yet. The third goal was a peach from the halfway line.
  16. I thought he and Faure linked up well on Monday and I felt the team looked more balanced with these two rather than Peralta and Foster. Remember Fraser is only 18 and still has plenty of time to work on his final ball.
  17. Bursaspor had a lot of the ball towards the end of that game but we were standing firm, holding on to our 1 nil lead. I remember standing in the Broomloan front and at around the 80 minute mark the Copland and Govan stands just erupted with Derry's Walls. It was glorious. So loud, so proud. Our players had to be inspired by this wonderful backing and I'm sure they were.
  18. I just read an article about Stuart Urquhart (the boy who moved to Coventry) on the evening times website and I found it a wee bit concerning. He says the youth team coaches told him he was one for the future but then contradicted themselves by only offering him a 1 year contract to stay. Now I don't know how good a player this boy is but it seems we are definitely missing something regarding the development of our younger players. I agree with what you said Oleg but it just seems we are so very naïve when it comes to dealing with our youth teams.
  19. Scotland lost 2-1 to Georgia with Macleod coming off the bench and scoring a 25 yarder apparently. Well done young Lewis. Can't believe he didn't start though. http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_fa_news.cfm?page=2986&newsID=12664&newsCategoryID=1
  20. Arthur Numan. He could have easily played on for a few more years and was willing take a wage cut if I remember right.
  21. What the fuck did I just read ? That has got to be the most one sided, the most delusional and quite possibly the most brass necked piece of "journalism" ever written. I read through the article waiting for a bit of balance to appear; how very naïve of me.
  22. Sadly work ethic and a good attitude seem to be rare attributes for today's young footballers. I hope Ally makes an example of Cole to send a message to our younger players who think they have already "made it" as a footballer.
