  1. Hit me up via PM. Would take the jacket for 2 yr old. My 5-day old daughter will look good in it in a few years. Got to kit her up nicely like I did her older sister
  2. [quote name="HG5" post="1063032711" timestamp="1450575218" Teams have had a look at us, realised what it takes & adapted. We're carrying on with a very one dimensional approach, which has been rumbled, yet we won't adapt (MW's own words - we work harder at Plan A). Arrogant to the nth degree. And before anybody tries to come back at me on that, just remember that MW used to be a city trader. I can assure anybody that these people are amongst the most arrogant on the planet. What happened to Warbs team last year in the English 2nd Division? Didn't they start strong and the drop points in the end to miss promotion?
  3. Need to continue to cultivate the next generation of fans. The last few years(on and off the field) has set that effort back.
  4. Once the board repays the loan to sports direct ( it was a good thing to not pay them back according to the boycotters), the CLUB will receive 51% of either profits or losses from RRL. That means, it will be the club, not sports direct, that will be negatively affected the most by a boycott. The boycott has achieved nothing today towards getting a better deal with sports direct. The boycott has created revenue streams for those that have shouted the loudest.
  5. While there are always exceptions, these days, you normally get what you pay for.
  6. Tactical tweaks are necessary until we have enough depth to change the game with personnel changes only.
  7. I agree. Thanks on the best wishes for wife and daughter
  8. Thank you. Born at noon on Friday so it's been a sleepless 60 hrs at times. Hope to go home today. I am hoping she is another two footed midfielder like her older sister. Looking forward to getting on the pitch with her on 3-4 years.
  9. Yes. We make more per pound with ticket sales or brick sales...but your basic premise that a boycott of club merchandise doesn't hurt the club is not correct. We will need to at least to break even the costs of labor and overhead expenses so that no cash is lost by the the club to subsidize losses. I have 4 HR feedings now with the birth of my daughter 2 days ago so I will be on more often...yeah!
  10. Yes. Going by the standard from the last 3 years, everything is the Boards fault including wins/losses and transfer policy.
  11. Sure there will be pain caused to Rangers. The club shares the profits AND losses of the retail operation. If the retail loses money because not enough is sold to cover labor and overhead expenses associated with the megastore (and other expenses), the the loss will have to be paid by the club either through cash or little or no dividends from prior year profits.
  12. You gave him credit for the on the field success prior to this loss so why doesn't some of the negatives flow his way?
  13. The second pk for the handball was pretty bad. Too be fair, neither penalty was deserved. They just converted theirs and we did not convert ours
  14. To be fair, the Board and their mouthpieces have taken credit for the on the field results so it is fair that they take the criticism when applicable.
  15. Yes but shouldn't his assistant referee be in a position to help out in the decision? The AR made a great call in the off sides call on the tap in but he missed it on the location of the foul.
  16. Any pain felt by SD will equally (if not slightly more) be felt by the club. Sad but 100% true.
  17. All of the fake merchandise being peddled by various fan groups are all manufactured in countries using the same production resources as SD. I know that your next petition would be to ask the Directors of the club to TUPE back to the club the 51 employees that transferred from the club to SD two years ago. Sure, it probably would cost the club a few hundred thousand quid in labor and costs but if you feel that strongly, I would expect you to ask for fairness for those employees.
  18. Got the email this morning about the sale. Got a little one being born shortly (at hospital for 10 hrs) so need a baby shirt for the girl
  19. Or at least a high level budget and high level assumptions that do not rely heavily on Champions League money each year to break even.
  20. I worked for a company headquartered in Richmond BC and used to pop up for a week here and there. They used to call Vancouver ..."Hongcouver"... Great food and beer though.
